ship Binding in wilmington.

There are more iron vessels built in this city,
than in all the rest of the United States put to-
gether.
There is nowhere else in the country, an estab-
lishment where there is constantly an iron steam
or on the stocks here there are on an average
three or four building at once, the year round.
There are at least twice as many steam vessels,
of wood and iron, built in this city every year, las
there are in Philadelphia, and throwing out small
tug boats, there is no comparison between the
two places, in the number Of boats built by each.
These are patent facts to all, at all acquainted
with the business here. but we doubt if they are
known by many of our own citizens.

THE CATTLE DISEASE.
Facts About 1t as Developed In Eastern
Pennsylvania.

In recent article on the disease among
cattle in this country, we referred to the
fact that it had existed in various localities,
in Eastern Pennsylvania, for several years.
In further reference to this, we have received
from our valued friend, DIR. Hiram Corson,
of Montgomery Co., Pa, a communication,
which gives some interesting details OF the
origin and general.phenomena OF the disease.
1t should be added that DIR. Corson is an
acute, careful, and most intelligent observer,
and has given this particular matter his close
attention for several years. He says:
81 have just received from Newportyille,
Bucks County, a letter from Phillip Wistar,
describing the disease among his cattle, and
the mode by which the disease is propa-
gated. 1t is an interesting account and sus-
tains my published statements, that it is
propagated only by the close proximity of
diseased cattle to healthy ones Numerous
facts show this. Near Montgomery Square,
this county, there lives man who buys up
all the cows, which die from cattle disease,
and converts the flesh into bologna sausage,
the fat into tallow for market, the bones he
sells TO neighboring bone mill, the hides
to the tanner, &c. Thirteen died on one
farm in this valley, last summer, and think
nearly all went in that way Now there
was just such an establishment near TO Mr..
Wistar, and in that way tue disease was
given to his cattle and others. will quote
part of his account.
GA near neighbor who lives but few
yards from this bologna mandatory, lost
COW few months before lost my first,
but paid no attention to the case, nor did
any one else, but subsequently, l learned that
it was disease similar to mine. Another
COW quarter of mile away, got sick and
died with the same disease, and still another
on another road, less than a quarter OF a
mile from the seat of contagion, and all OF
the cows that died, passed the place, which
was near the corner of five roads conyerg-
ing together. And yet another COW on The
opposite side Of Neshaminy creek, about

remainder of the butter into thin slices, lay
them on the flour, and dredge flour over thick,
and then roll out the butter into thin sheets,
and lay it aside. Then roll out the paste
thin, cover ii with sheet of this rolled but
ter, dredge on more flour, fold it up, and roll
it out, and then repeat the process till all the
butter is used up. Paste should be made as
quick and as cold as possible. Some use

Success of n Lawyer in Farming.
At the annual meeting of the Agricultural
Society of Windsor county, Vermont, held
ON the 18th Of January last, the Committee
on Farms made the following report con
cernlng the farm of our distinguished fel
low-citizen, Mr. William M. Evarts. We
presume that there are few gentlemen of the
legal profession, at least, who indulge in the
luxury of farming with such profitable re-
suits as are shown iii the present instance
The farm is situated a few rods north Of
the village OF Windsor, on the Connecticut
river, lying on each side of the highway
leading from Iartland Four Corners to
Windsor village. 1t contains, by csiima-
ton, 225 acres OF land and water, divided
as follows: 100 acres of tillage or grass land,
100 acres of pasture and wood land, 81 acres
OF swamp land and brooks
The tillage land is of Il sandy loan, warm,
and easily worked, and all adapted to The
raising of corn and oats. Many acres of
what is now his best grass land has been re-
claimed from what was once an unsightly
and Improbable swamp by a most thorough
system of undertaking, with frequent top
dressing of gravel and manure. The system
OF farming is partly ancient and partly mod
ern. Like our fathers, Mr.. Evarts discarts
all foreign and costly fertilizers, using only
such manures as can be made ON and from
the farm, of which he makes some no cords
annually. A considerable part of this he
spreads upon the wet grass lands soon after
haying, and receives in return Il large amount
Of good English hay. The balance is drawn
out in the spring and ploughcd under and
narrowed in. lie never dungs in the hole,
but plants in good season, and seldom fails
to gather a good crop Of corn or oats Last
year his crop of corn measured 200 bushels
OF cars from about IA acres, and 700 bushels
| OF oats from ! acres. The hay measured
about 10 tons, gathered from 10 acres.
| The stock numbers now $50 sheep, 3 head
Of cattle, aud q horses. The farm is valued
at $lS,o0o quite large amount of which is
invested in barns and sheds which are built
in the most thorough manner and in modern
style And now the question is, can such
farm yield fair per cent for the money in
vested, after paying expenses? We shall
see how Mr.. Evarts came out last year, for
farm accounts are kept in this case, and we
copy as iollows:-

M. II. CHURCH.
Meeting to Consider the division of the
Philadelphia Conference.


Philadelphia Conference.
Agreeably to previous notice, a large and in
fuential meeting OF the Methodists of Whining |
ton, assembled in the Lecture Room Of the ST.
Paul's NJ. E. Church Friday evening, 10 take into
consideration the proposed division Of the Phila-
delphia Annual Conference of the NJ E. Church.
Rev. James Riddle was selected Chairman, and
D. 7. Hawkins Secretary.
After statement of the objects of the meeting,
by the chairman, a committee of one was ap-
pointed from each charge represented to draft
resolutions expressive Of the sense of the meet
ing, whereupon the following committee was
appointed =
Union, Cyrus Stern; St. Paul's, John NJ.
Turner; Asbury, Vim. He, derson Grace, 8. NJ.
Harrington; Scott, Jacob s. Weldin; Brandy
wine l.. q. Galigna Newport, Daniel Green.
The committee retired for consultation, during
which time free interchange of opinion took
place among large number Of members, after
which the Committee reported the following
resolutions -
Resoired, That ii in the Judgment of the Gene
raj Conference, a division should be deemed adj
yisabe, we respectfully, but earnestly protest
against any division by State lines. We believe
that such division would be prejudicia to the
cause of Methodism in Delaware and ON the
Peninsula; that it would occasion differences
heretofore happily prevented, and weaken the in
tluence heretofore welded by the church through
the character and ability of our Pastors:-
Upon an examination Of statistics. we believe
that such division would be unequal and unjust !:
as may be seen from the following comparison
between that portion Of the Conference in Penn
sylvania. and that portion in Delaware, Maryland
and Virginia.
