Mrs. DALL's SECOND LECTURE.-We give
expression only to the universal feeling of her
audience last night when we say that Mrs.
Dall's lecture last evening was one of rare in
struction and value. She told us what her sex
have done in trade; in various mechanical
callings and in art, illustrating her views by
life sketches of several who have been emf
nent in various departments of human labor
not forgetting local names and histories, drawn
from widely extended personal knowledge,
which were at once tender and faithful.


We were glad to see an increased attendance.
Tonight, her third and last lecture will be
given. She will speak of the new work to be
done. Of woman, as teacher Of Oratory and
Language of Training Schools for Servants
of Mrs. Woods Industrial Schools in Ireland
Mr.. Buckles Statistics and Labor exchange,

opportunity we shall have of hearing Mrs. D.

THE Bones ABOUT THE PREMIsEs.-Now is
the time to gather them up from the fence
corners and other places where they are neith
er ornamental nor health giving. Put them
into the soil, if you have not already. The
best course is to take them 10 a bone mill and
get them ground, if there is bone mill near
you. But probably there is not, as there is
not yet one bone mill to where there should be
a dozen. If ground finely and mixed several
times with their weight of muck or loaih, and
worked into the soil, in and around corn hills,
at planting time, no manure is better. Is
will not produce the tallest growth but viii
give the largest and best filed ears of any
thing we have ever tried.


But if there is no bone mill near you, as is
the fact we have no doubt with nine-tenths of
our readers, break the bones, as best you can,
and apply them to the soil. They are good
for every kind of crop. Their effect, if only
broken, will be the same in the end, but will
be slower than if ground finely, and for some
purposes will do all the better for this. as in
the case of fruit trees, to all of which bones
should be applied at the time of transplaftFne,
and may better be coarse than fine. for the
reason that here a lasting rather than an i'm
mediate effect is sought.

Too COOP TO BE LosT.-A friend of ours re-
lates the following story, which is good one:
A traveller whom we afterwards knew, once
arrived at village inn, latter hard days trav-
ell, and being very tired requested a room to
sleep in, but the landlord said they were en-
tirely full, and it was utterly impossible to ac-
commodate hinl-that his wife had to sleep on
the sofa, and himself on the floor; but that
he would see what his wife would do for him.
The good woman on being applied to, said
there was one room which he might occupy,
provided he would agree to the conditions,
viz: 10 enter the room late, in the dark, and
leave it early in the morning, to prevent scan
dal, as the room was occupied by lady.
This he agreed to. About two O'Clock that
night, an awful noise heard in the kotlse,
and our friend, the traveller, was found .lrnb-
ling heels over head down stairs. On our
landlord arriving at the spot, and induiring
what the matter was, the traveller calculated
as soon as he was able to speak ssOh, land

July IT, 1853. J


The Merrimac, after being in the hands of the
caulkers for nearly month, is once more moored
off this island desert of San Lorenzo for the pur-
pose of practising her guns great and small at tar
getfring, boat expeditions, landing the men, &c.
For three days past the steep sandy slopes of the
island have reverberated the noise of the heavy
guns of the ship, and been furrowed by the tracks
of the lineinch shells. The cruise The Merrimac
is so nearly finished, or supposed to be, that this
would seem to be useless disposition of powder
and shot, in view Of the fact that the men are to be
discharged but the officers are said to be benefited
by the practice, and whether they are not, the
expenditure of so much ammunition per year is al
lowed and convenience, more than anything else,
seems to regulate the time of using it. No pl ace in
the Pacific certainly could be appropriate for
the exercise of guns than the shore of San Lorenzo
as the island is lonely waste, from which the shot
can almost entirely be recovered.-M Y. Eng. Post.

The Tallahassee FIoridian, of the 23d inst, con-
tains the following (now familiar) announcement:


"a Cargo OF AFRICANs.-A gentleman ofthis city
received a letter from jacksonville on Monday last
post marked 10th instant, on the back of which was
endorsed "a cargo of 600 Africans has been landed
on the Florida coast near Smyrna"


This is something like the twelfth cargo of Afri-
cans reported to have been landed upon the Florida
adjacent coast since the "W anderer experiment;
although, strange to say not word has ever been
heard of of these vessels her cargo or crew. be
yond the bare announcement of her landing. Nor
does it appear that the number of wrecks or sunk
en- vessels found off the Florida coast increase the
hazards Of navigation of late.


Lest any person should be frightened into the be-


lief that the rum0rs referred to have foundation in
actual facts, will state that they are circulated
entirely for effect by certain advocates of the slave
trade who hope by an eventual change in puplic
sentiment to compass their objects. They desire to


impress the people of the South with the belief that
such change has already taken place among them,
and that the South is almost prepared to renew the
slave trade. Some capital may also be made by
exciting the North with these stories, in order to
create ferment. The truth of the matter is, the
slave trade speculation has proved failure, and
some OF those who have interested themselves in at
tempting to promote it have suffered runous losses
There is absolutely market for imported Afri-
cans, and besides, it has been proved, that about
ten per cent of those landed here and set to work

up Lefore It has dried, nearly all the nuts
come with it. Therefore, we think that it
