WEBSTER AT HOME.

sumptuous fare, though not elaborate.

would be chowder or dun-fish, both of
which dishes he excelled in. One day

them. He said from his friend. Chas.
Cutter, of Portsmouth, \. Fl. I said
that l got my fish from the same gen
tleman, but they did not seem to
to be the same quality but perhaps
they were not as skillfully cooked.
Thereupon he gave detailed history
of the fish, mode Of curing, &c. Then

OF the way of cooking it, ending with,

as one of the many favored ones. Mr.
Hayne was most eloquent, and exceed
ingly bitter ir his remarks upon Mr..
Webster's speech; and so scathing in
his denunciations of New England
and her policy, that felt his Sarcasms
were unanswerable. I think all the
friends of Mr.. Webster thought so
too. The south side of the Senate
were vociferous in the applause. At

looks encouraging, if these everlast-
ing rains would but stop. But for the
last two weeks they have increased in
frequency, as well as in volume, and
if they continue much longer, virtu-
al failure of the entire crop of cereals
will be the inevitable consequence
The land is being drowned out
Corn, in most instances, is already
past recovery, which involves the al
most total abandonment of the hog
crop. Minnesota will pretty surely
be obliged to import pork for the co,
ming years necessities. Wheat, bar
ley and potatoes were planted upon
the light soil which constitutes the ma
jority of the cultivated lands of this
state, can recover from the deluging
they have already received; but few
days more of the reign of Jupiter
Pluvius will prove their virtual ruin.
The rains are so frequent and heavy
and the intervals of hot sunshine SO
hot and rare, that but little growing
time is allowed. Of the character of
the weather for the next two weeks

state, and if no change occurs we shall
for the next year witness nearly as

KS.-Independence week is again dis
astrouS the interests fthe drovers. At Cam
bridge and MedfOrd 200 cattle and 6400 sheep
and lambs were received. A large part of the
lambs were bargained for last week. The own
of lots not thus engaged found it very difficult
to dispose of their drOves at reasonable prices
And even those whose lots were on commission
say that the market is SO hard that the butchers
insist on an abatement of part on all of the eX-
pected commission or profit. The large number
of western sheep and lambs seems to have glut-
ted the market. n. E. Rice sold 55 lambs At 81,

ded over to the butchers to be marketed on
shares. Trade in cattle at Cambridge was dull
and we think full one dollar per 100 lbs lower
