HEannouncementth that accompanied
the publication OF the will left by
Charles F. Browne, (Artemus Ward
to the effect that his property-some
S6O,Ooo-shau be appropriated to the
founding OF an asylum for printers,
has drawn from the Chicago Tribune a
practical suggestion, as follows.
1--WE propose that the craft in all
parts of the country, by united re-
solve, provide that there be retained by
the foreman of each newspaper and
printing office, from the earnings OF
the journeymeu, a sum equal to five
mills upon each dollar OF his weekly
bill. This small tax, of one half cent
on the dollar, should be paid over to a
local treasurer weekly, and by him
forwarded to a general treasurer to be
invested until such time as the ASYLUM
fund will be available. The tax is a
small one to each person, but in ten
years time, if properly invested with
its earnings, would constitute a fund
equal to the establishment and endow-
ment of an asylum equal to the de-
mands of the craft, and worthy OF the
men whose infirmiues of body make
them its inmates"

IT has always been the practice of the
Government, when the term expired OF
Postmaster who was in debt to the
Government, to draw on him for the
amount due. but where the balanes yvns
due the Postmaster, no notice of this
fact was given him, and the sum due
MN was allowed to lie in the Treasure
until the Postmaster was able to prove
the amount due him. As nearly half
OF the 24,OOO PostmasTerS of the country
nao a balance due them, the anaount
thus Sept BY the Government was yery
considerable During Gov. Dennisouis
term as Postmaster General, the prac-
hce was changed, and it was made the
rule to pay Postmasters at once ON the
expiration of their terms OF office. and
rule ceased with Gov. Dennison. The
old practice Is now resumed, and POST
masters are no longer notified when the
Government owes them anything.

WINE CULTURE IN THE UNITED
SrATEs.-The progress already made
in wine-growing in the United States
shows that it is destined to become one
of our most important interests. The
earliest attempts at grape culture were
with imported varieties, and failed.
Nicholas Longworth, of Cincinnati,
and John ]. Dufaur, of Vevay, Indiana,
were the first Americans who had any
great success in cultivating native
vines, and to their industry the BUSH
ness owes its start. Vineyard culture
is now fully established, California
taking the lead, and both the Ohio Val
ley and Georgia producing excellent
wines. California alone has 5000 900
acres of land adapted to vineyards,
whilst the aggregate surface covered by
vineyards in Europe is said not to ex-
coed 100000 acres. In the West the
annual yield per acre is 200 gallons, in
the South 500, and in California 500,
whilst In France the annual product is
said not to exceed an average of 200
gallons per acre.

CITY HEALTH OFFICE, March l6 1857.
UIHE CITIZENS OF WHEELING ARE
hereby respectfully requested to CO.
operate with me in the Important work of
cleansing and purifying their premises nom
all offensive and noXious substances, that
may have accumulated during the past win
ter season. Their immediate attention TO
this sanitary movement Is OF vital impor-
lance to every citizen, and should meet with
their hearty concurrence, SO that this work,
so absolutely necessary 10 the good health OF
our citizens, may be accomplished before the
heat Of the summer sun shall have caused
the decOm position of the animal and vege-
table matter so profusely scattered through
out the city. 1t is hoped therefore, that each
householder who may have any nuisance on
their premises, will have the same removed
without waiting fOI a personal visit, and q
special order from the Health Of1icer. By
giving early attention to the removal OF all
offensive matter and the free use of lime, or
other diSinfectants, we may avert the Gala
nifty that would most likely follow its neg
lect.
| The beneficial results that attended our Ia
bors in that direction last year. under the Dr.
vine blessing, encourage us to make a like eff
tort this year, trusting that the same bless
ing may attend our laborS.

From tho Keokuk Constitution.
Another Clerical Rascal-A ReVi-
valist Runs off With One of the
Sisters.
The disagreable duty of exposing the
rascality of another renegade preacher Is
again imposed on us as a journalist. Rev.
j. Petty, who resided in this county, on
String Prairie, about twelve miles from
this city, and who has been lately holding
a revival meeting, at which. we learn,
many converts were made, and who were
to be baptized next Sabbath, provided all
things had goue along smoothly. But, on
Wednesday last, the Reverend Pastor Of
the St~ringPrairie flock took 1t into his head
to run off with n of the she lambs-a
Mrs. Freeman, a married sister-who left
behind her husband aud three children.
The Reverend Petty had a wife also and
five children, whom he has left in destitute
circumstances On Wednesday last the
preacher came to this city in company
with the guilty woman in a buggy, and
soon after disposed of the team to a citizen
of this city.
Later in the day Mrs. Petty arrived, In
search of her runaway scoundrel of a hus-
band, and the officers of the law were out
hunting him all Wednesday night.
Early yesterday morning 1t was ascertain
&c thar l'H'd Mrs. Freeman had gone off
together on the steamer Sucker State.
This Petty, like his apostate brother. Bal
linger, is IA ranIing member of the God and
humanity party-wanted all Democrats to
be hanged who refused to vote the Radical
ticket.
