MISCELLANIES. 



PULMONARY CONSUMPTION. 



Vigoroii.-i exerci.ie, ami a free e.V|iiisiire to the 

 air, are by fur tlie most cfiicrient remeJies in [hiI- 

 inoiiary coiisuiiipii'in. It is not, liowcvcr, tliat kind 

 of exercise usually prescribe.! for iir. ulids — an oc- 

 CBsiouul walk or ri.le in pleasant weatlier, witli 

 strict confinement in tlie uitervnLs — from wliicli 

 niiicli gooil is to be expected. Daily and long con- 

 tinued rilling on horseback, or in carriages over 

 rough road.s is, perhaps, the best mode of exercise ; 

 but where this cannot bo rommanfied, unremU- 

 ing exertion of almost>ny kind in the open air 

 amounting even to labor, will be found highly 

 beneficial. Nor should the weather be scrupulously 

 studied. Though I would not advise a consump- 

 tive patient to expo.se himself recklessly to the se- 

 verest inclemencies of the weather I would never- 

 theless warn him against allowing the dread of ta- 

 king cold to confine him on every occasion when 

 the temperature may be low, or skies overcast. 



It may bs toll that the patient is often too feeble 

 to be able to bear exertion ; but, except in the last 

 stage, where every remedy nuist prove unavailing. 

 I believe there arc few who caimot use exercise 

 without doors; and it somclimes liappens, that 

 they who are exceedingly debilitated, find upon 

 making the trial, that their strength is increased by 

 the etVort, and that the more they exert themselves, 

 the better able they are to support the exertion. 



T!ie Season in Petuisylvania. — We have hard- 

 ly known the fields to have a more beautiful ap- 

 pearance than at present. The fields of grain 

 are said never to have looked better at this season 

 of the year. There having bp*t\ no frost to do 

 damage, there is a prospect of an abundance 

 of fruit. Vegetation is uncommonly forward. 

 We saw on the island opposite this place, last 

 week, an acre of peas in full bloom and red clo- 

 ver in blossom. — Harrisburg, Pa. Intelligencer, of 

 May 11. . 



GARDEN WALKS. 



The fi)llowing cheap improvement is recom- 

 mended in the construction of walks in gardens, 

 lawns, &c, uniting the advantages of great hard- 

 ness, durability, and freedom from worms and in- 

 sults : When a new walk is made, or an old 



one rcforme.l, take the necessary quantity of 

 road scra| ing, previously dried in the air, and rc- 

 ducerl as fine as possible ; mix with the heap 

 enough of coal tar from a gas work, so that the 

 whole shall be suflTiciently saturated, and then 

 add a (piantity of gravel ; with this lay rather a 

 thick stratum as a foundation, anil then cover it 

 with 11 thin loating of gravel. In a short time 

 the walk will bo as hard as a rock, not affected 

 by wet, or disfigurpJ by worms. — County Chroni- 

 cle. 



The North Western Journal, iiublishcd at De- 

 troit, strongly recommends the establishment of 

 Agricultural Societies in Michigan territory ; and 

 mr.'asures are taking to obtain soinc encourage- 

 ment from the Legislature. It is thought that 

 the territory now contains about fifty thousand in- 

 habitants.

I'RKSII UUTTF.R. 



Mr.sans ICditoks — You reconunoml in your 

 last number n new mode of preserving butter, and 



I here send vi.u an ohl and a bettor melliod, be- 

 cause it is 'more, simple, pure, and without a 

 particle of salt, honey or sugar. I say without a 

 particle of tall, »ii(ric or common. 



If all the vessels used be prfectly clean and wi- 

 ped dry, ami the butter come .piick,(ror butter that 

 is a long time churning is already half spoilt) you 

 have to work out the butter milk entirely, by re- 

 peated and unwearied working or kneading it, till 

 you are saii-fied that there is not a teaspoonful 

 of the butter milk left in a mass of a dozen I 

 pounds, then press it into a stone pot, perfectly j 

 clean and dry ; and in this state of purity and com- l 

 pactncss, you may carry it to Europe or Asia, and 

 find it at the end of your voyage as sweet as a 

 rose in June, provided you have excluded the 

 air from it by parchment or white wax, or sper- | 

 maceti, when |)ut on to it almost cold. The j 

 whole philosophy of the operation depends on ex- 1 

 eluding milk, and water, and air, and preserving | 

 the mass in a moderate temperature of warmth ; 

 better below .50^ than above it. One of our coun- 

 trymen, who went in a public character to Spain, 

 had butter made at Nauchant Island, and thus 

 managed, and found it perfectly sweet on his ar- 

 rival. 



What a mess must butter and honey make 

 when mixed together. When Isaiah says ' but- 

 ter and honey shall he eat,' it is an exquisite 

 'Asiatic figure to denote a fertile land fragrant 

 with fiowers, but not to mix them together in the 

 same dish. 



It is remarkable that neither Grecian or Roman 

 writers ever mention butter. It does not appear 

 they bad any knowledge of the article. It came 

 down to us through the Arabians, and is one ev- 

 idence more of the authenticity of the Old Testa- 

 ment. Instead of speaking scornfully of the Ara- 

 bian as in the manner of some, let us tell our 

 children when they ask for butter or sugar, that 

 we arc indebted to those Mahomedans for both 

 these delicious articles of a good breakfast, as 

 well as for all those figures they use in their cy- 

 phering books. BUTTEROPUILUS.

RAW SILK, 



Such as it issues from the wheels of the filature, 

 will always command from five to seven dollars 

 the pound, and the extreme fineness of .^inericaii 

 silk may increase its value, in the markets of Eu- 

 rope, to eight or ten dollars. We shall probably 

 at some futirreflay, see American /fair Silk quo- 

 ted, in prices current, along with Turkey and 

 j Italian Silks; as sea island and upland are now 

 quoted by the side of Egyptian and Maranham. — 

 Trabeller. 



LEECHES. 

 A new invention for the speedy and certain 

 application of leeches is announced ; it is made 

 with brass wire, much the form and size of a bell. 

 The leeches having a great antipathy to brass 

 wire, attach themselves to the skin, and in gener- 

 al, immediately commence the operation of punc- 

 turing and suction. 



KAIL ROADS. 



I A meeting of citizens of Chnton and Es.sex 



counties. New York, has been held, when they 



pledged their coopi ration in making a Kail Road 



from Boston to Ogdensburgh. 



Horseradish cut into small pieces and chewed 

 in the mouth is an excellei t remedy for hoarse- 

 ness, coughs, colds, or cases of incipient con- 

 sumption. Several cases of its successful applica- 

 tion have come within our knowledge.— .VancAM- I 

 ter Herald. 



A small sharp piece of steel having snapped 

 into the eye of a jeweller in Providence, the phy- 

 sicians were averse to operate on it, considering 

 tho delicate nature of the eye ; another jeweller 

 drew it out with a magnet. 



Pomological Magazine. 

 Lost —the 23.1 number of the London Pomologic:.! 

 Magazine, for September, 1829. Whoever has borrowe. 

 t, if rcquestc.1 to return it to Mr Robert Ma.n.n,«c, at

The farmers in Illinois are paying attention to 

 the culture of fruit trees. The Jacksonsville Ga- 

 zette states that 2000 fruit trees were sent to Ga- 

 lena, this spring, all of which were purchased 

 a few days after their arrival. 



The model of an invention relative to Rail 

 Roads, made by Mr Ely, of N. York, the inventor 

 of the Baltimore Screw Dock, is now at tho Ex- 

 change for the inspection of the public It is 

 designed to superse.lc the necessity of inclined 

 planes, and, to overcome elevations in a manner 

 very nearly resembling a lock on a canal. The 

 horse with his load passes from the lower level of 

 the Rail Road upon a frame, in tho middle of 

 which an endless fioor revolves upon two drums. 

 To tl.e axles of tln^so drums are affixed cog- 

 wheels which turn boxes fitted upon long perpen- 

 dicular screws, by means of which tho frame, 

 with both horse and load, is elcvate.l to the height 

 ab.ive, anil they immediately pass to tho upper 

 level Weights arc attached to tho frame, 



to counterbalance tho load. The time which 

 it is thought will bo neccs.sary to pass an 

 elevation of ten or fifteen feet will not cxcep.l 

 that requiie.l in the passage of an ordinary lock 

 on a canal, and the power which draws tho load 

 I will bo quite sufficient to elevate it— BaH. Amer.
