PoRK,-The sensation rumors which
were so industriously circulated in re-
gard to diseased pork, have in a meas
ure checked the consumptive demand
but really there is very little unsouna
OF diseased pork here, certainly no more
than for years past, and the IDEA !sap-
posing it to be SOY that it is more inJn-
rious now, or more general, we do not be-
lave We have endeavored to get at
the trutb of the matter and pronounce
IL without hesitation, a great mistake.
0nr oldest inspectors agree with MS fully.
One of them, who has been in the bust
ness a number of years, remarked to US
that he had not seen but one lot of
measly OF diseased pork during that
time. Other inspectors have not met
with a single case. If there was really
in these shameful reports, we
should feel it our duty to put the public
on their guard, but at present we do not
credit them, and as we have spent some
time in investigating the subject, We
feel warranted in saying that there is
very little, if any, cause for the alarm
and distrust so general of late

AGRICULTURAL, &C.,

Every farmer should learn to do his own
grating. 1t is very easy operation when
once understood. A sharp penknife and "A
good fine saw are indispensable. Splitting
the stock so that the bark should not be
bruised-and shaping the scion wedge FASH
ion both ways, preserving also the bark I'M
lnjured-and placing the yim Of BIC aoood OF
both stock and scion exactly together, SO
that the sap can intcrmngle-thcre is nc
danger Of failure, il properly waxed. We
make shoulder to the craft and think-it
adds to the certainty of success, though
probably wcakons it. We prefer also two
eyes or buds to graft, and would rather
have only one than more than two. Ono
years wood should always be used when it
can be obtained, as it is moro certain to
take and grows more vigorously.
We wish to remind those about preparing
grating wax, that we have found five parts
of rosin, one part of bccswax, apA one part
tallow, to be the best proportion. Melt
them together in skillet, (Which is the
best) or a lineup, and mix we'll. 1t should
remain i'll the vessel and used as needed.
Twenty or thirty scions can be waxed viii.
ono heating up. When much grating is to
be done, fire for heating the wax should
be made on the spot, between two bricks or
stones. GrmantODA Telegraph.

EXPOSURE AND NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Mr. William Perry Qormcrly mail carrier
between this city and JobIson's Island),
about z o'clock ycstcrd,y morning, dis.
covered boat load of persons fast in the
ice, about thrcesfourtbs of mile from the
city. He Immediately launched his boat
from the dock of Osborn s. Iill at the foot
OF Columbus avenue, and at once proceeded
to the place of suffering. On arriving with
in hailinG distance, and learning who the
parties were and how situated, Mr.. Perry
discovered that lie coull render them no
assistance ut all without returning and pro-
curing piece of rope, which he did with
out delay, and was soon followed by two
other gentlemen, William Wilbur aud Dc
Wit Fenton, in another boat. They sue
cceded, by throwing one end of the rope
across to the boat which contained the suffer
crs, in drawing them up on to the sound
ice, when young Perry, by making three
different trips, safely landed the whole
party at the foot of the avenue.
The parties thus rescued from threaten
ed cold bath in the middle of the bay, were
all colored persons-laborers on Johnson's
Island-and left that place as early as six
| o'clock yesterday morning, with the inten-
ton of coming to this city to spend the
Sabbath with their families. Their names
| are Massus Brown, Dick West, William
Frost, Elijah Brown, Lee Kelly, Major

Der and all residents of this city. The in
! tense cold had frozen their boat fast in the
trcacherous ice, and the heavy wind had
cut off their retreat to the island by making
open water for a mile or more, while the
storm threatened TO break up the ice about
| them and leave them no succor.
| Much credit is due to Mr.. Perry for the
| timely assistance rendered. He laborcd for
| four hours in spite of the cold, Storm and
danger, until he effected the rescue. Such
courage and endurance should DC rewarded.
! After 1t was known who the endangered
party were, their colored friends gathered
at the end pier in an excited crowd, and
much rain fell from sable eyes; and when

Anomalies OF literary History.

One of the Anomalies of Literary History
is, that it has often been the lot of those
men who have contributed largely to the
mirth or recreation of Others to endure more
.han an ordinary share of misery and want
in their own lives. The most entertaining
portions of literature have been written by
men whose hearts have been bowed down
by sorrow, and at moments when that sor-
row has been heaviest. 1t was in the gloom
of mothers death, dcepened by his own
poverty, that Johnson pcnned the charming
tale of ''Russelas;" it was the chill desolation
of bare and fireless garret that poor Gold
smith, the beloved vagabond OF literature,
sketched the highest picture of domestic
happiness the world ever had; il was from q
sick bed, in sore distress, and in a necess-
tous exile, that Tom Hood shook all Eng
land with laughter. The enchantment OF
Scott, the satire of Jerrold, half the gems oi
English wit and humor, have been thrown
out by genius in its most sorrowfui mo-
ments.-Dublia Unicersity Aagaaine.

WIDOWS VS., MAIDENs.-A Richmond pa
per says that young men are scarce in that
city, and maidens and widows in search of
husbands, very plenty. The latter seem to
be the most successful, and the editor, plea
ding in behalf of the maidcns, says
We do not think, in view of the great
scarcity of men, that it is fair for widows to
| marry a second time, until all the young
maidens have secured husbands. The Leg,
islaturc ought to attend to this matter, and
protect the interests of the young ladies, for
without the aid of legal enactments, the
widows are sure to play the grab game
They win, therefore, have to be restrained by
the strong arm of the law, as was done in
the early colonial history of Virginia when
the House of Burgesses passed an act of the
very character indicated. 1t was found that
all of the young men imported into the
colony, were al once caught by the widows,
by superior wiles and strategems, without
any chance being allowed TO the modest and
retiring young maidens so the Legislature
took the matter in hand, and will have to
do SO again.
