Ahnost every case of conflrined drunkeness may 

 se tr:Ked to au early indulgence in dram-drinkini;.

 joct of temperate indulgence ; but it grows with

 ts votary, until the confirmed habit itself in the

We are aware that nothing can be said that 

 .ill convince many people, that it is possible for 

 hem to perform their haying and harvesting with- i 

 ut the aid of spirits. But if they consider it thus ; 

 eccssary for themselves, we hope they will spare 

 leir sons. With them it may not yet have be- 

 ome thus necessary, and the deprivation will be 

 orne without a murn)ur. Give them hop beer, 

 lolasses and water, or milk and water, which is 

 y far the most wholesome and nourishing, and at 

 le same time more economical. But even if the ex- 

 ?use were double, the advantages of such bever- 

 ge over rum and whiskey, in a moral point of view, 

 e incalculable. Farmers who are in the habit of 

 ring mucli labour ought to jet an example of re- 

 They should furnish no kind of ardent 

 )irits whatever to their laborers, and to prevent 

 isunderstanding, let it be so stipulated when they 

 e hired. If this system was generally adopted, 

 e should soon see a vast improvement in theraor- 

 3 of society, and especially would the moral char- 

 ter of the laboring community be essentially 

 ised. [Claremont, N. H. Spectator.] 



Farmers in New England often cut out tlic eyes 

 of potatoes for planting, particularly if tlic vegeta- 

 ble is scarce, and save the body of the root for the 

 summer's use. [Com. Adv.] 



CURE FOR THE CHOLERA MORBUS. 



Half a pint of corn roasted almost black, grind it : 

 fine, put it in a clean tin vessel, and pour over it a 

 quart of boiling water, simmer it 10 minutes, strain j 

 it, and add a little sugar ; give 3 table spoons full 

 every quarter of an hour ; the stomach will retain 

 it in most cases, after the 2d time given. Wlien 

 the sickness of the stomach has subsided, give a 

 mild dose of pliysic that is the least nauseating to 

 the patient, 2 tea-spoons full of Rhubarb powder, 

 Epsom salts, or cream of Tartar. 



This simple Indian remedy, if taken at the com- 

 mencement of the complaint, will effect a cure. — ■' 

 The prevalence of the disorder at Philadelphia, is 

 the reason for this receipt being published. 



{New Jersey pa.] 



Extract from a letter dated Bu^ola, June I'Uh. 



"On the 17t!i inst. nt 10 o'clock at night, we 

 had three severe shocks of an earthquake, which 

 has destroyed some, but materially injured all the 

 churches, convents and other public, and a great 

 number of private buildings : so much so, that an- 

 other shock (if unfortunately it occurs) will lay the 

 whole town in ruins ; the consequence is, that 

 most families have left it, and arc living in huts in 

 a neighbouring village." 



MORNING AIR. 

 Tlio most wholesome and invigorating air of 

 the day is usually at day break. The man who 

 rises at the dawn of day, may enjoy a pleasure 

 tliat is denied to a slumberer. It is the best time 

 for exercise. The birds gayly carol, to welcome 

 the rising sun and to waken man to industry. The 

 glorious orb of day is in itself an object of more 

 magnificence, than the Falls of Niagara or Mont- 

 morenci, the Peak of Teneritfe, or Etna. Yet hov,' 

 many traver,se sea and land to behold these ter- 

 rcstial objects, while perhaps they never saw the 

 rising sun in its utmost splendor, the sublimest 

 spectacle in creation. 



HYDROPHOBIA. 

 This opprobrium medicoriim, has become at Ly- 

 3S, a mere bagatelle, and has completely lost its 

 rrific character by nipping it in the bud. It ap- 

 tars that about a year ago, a man was bit by a 

 3g who afterwards died raving mad ; but that his 

 ife without delay extracted the poison by sucking 

 e icovnd : this v\'as afterwards repeated by the 

 iquest of the physician,and no hydrophobia super- 

 jned in either. She afterwards went by the name 

 La Chien Sue, and her example was this year 

 Uowed by three womeyi, who go by the same 

 iijie, and whose business it has been during the 

 it months to suck the wounds of all who are bit- 

 nby any nrad animal. Ten francs is their charge 

 n the first 3ucking,and five for every succeeding 

 Of 38 cases which occurred since the first 

 f June, not one terminated fatally, none even expc- 

 enced- tlie symptoms of hydrophobia, although 

 le animals were raving mad, and died in that 

 ;ate. [English paper.] 



DISTILLERY APPARATUS. 

 It will be seen by an advertisement in our pa- 

 per of this morning that Mr. John C. Douglas has 

 invented a new distilling apparatus, one of which 

 is now in operation in this city, which must prove 

 of great advantage to Sugar Refiners, Spirit and 

 Molasses distillers. Brewers, &c. Mr D. states in 

 his advertisement, that by his improved apparatus 

 he is enabled to distil more spirits in 12 hours, 

 with a still of 300 gallons, than can be done in one 

 of 1200 gallons, in stills of the general construc- 

 tion. [N. Y. Daily Adv.] 



TENNESSEE. 

 A correspondent in this state thinks it worthy 

 of remark, that a cat fish, weighing 48 lbs. was 

 caught near Dover, on the 15th April, ult. and that 

 a piunpkin liad been raised on his father's farm, 

 in the neighborhood of Nashville, that weighed 

 239 lbs. He regards these as fine specimens of 

 the products of the west. 



PRESERVING POTATOES. 



A Mr Roberts, in England, has discovered and 

 btained a patent, for what he calls a singular dis- 

 overy in the art of preserving potatoes, and other 

 egetables. His directions are simply as follows'. 



Take potatoes that arc thoroughly ripe, and bo- 

 3re they liave grown in the spring, cut out with a 

 nife or other instrument, .or otherwise destroy 

 le germs or eyes. The more they are kept from 

 le air the finer they will be." We have been ac- 

 uainted with this process these t^'cnty years. — ■ 



EULOGIES. 



Messrs. D. F. Robertson, & Co. and Norton 

 and Russell, of Hartford, Conn, have issued pro- 

 posals for publishing in a volume of 300 or 350 

 pages, octavo, a selection of the Eulogies, pro- 

 nounced in the several states in honour of Adams 

 aivl Jefferson. The work when completed will 

 be very valuable and cannot but possess great 

 merit. An edition of 500 copies will be printed, 

 at $175 in boards, $2 bound. A subscription pa- 

 per is left at the Statesman Office, and an agent 

 is expected in Boston to day to receive names.

 Delaware Bridge stopped. AU our Hopes, we be- 

 lieve, are now at an end. 



The Mount Hope Loan Company was chartered 

 with a capital of $300,000. They w ill, as we learn, 

 make an expose quickly, and relieve those interest- 

 ed, as to what may be left.
