THE USES OF WATER.—The Syracuse Jour
nal, in an excellent article on the use of wa
ter for the purpose of bathing and personal
cleanliness, says:
"Bathing is a high moral duty. Let a
man who is about to commit some disgrace
upon himself, or some injustice upon his fel
low, resort to the free use of cold water, fol
lowed up by towels, brushes, and clean linen,
and after this is accomplished, we are wil
ling to wager that he will hesitate to engage
in what he had before determined upon. If
water will not save a man, salt will not."
No, (answers the funny man of the Boston
Post) nor saltpetre either. The journal talks
well and wisely. Much may be said in favor
of water for many purposes. As the toper
observed, "it has done a great deal for navi
gation;" it has extinguished a vast number
of fires; it makes a beautiful jet when squir_
ted perpendicularly through a fountain ; it
looks well tumbling down a hillside, or me
andering through a meadow ; it is sublime in
the form of a cataract, and is capital for
sprinkling linen in a laundry. It is useful
in working steam engines; is good to throw
(cold) on foolish projects, or to pour (hot) into
'whiskey punches. It makes a pleasant drink
with an infusion of tea or cofl•'ee, and mixes
naturally with brandy and but there's
no end to its uses, or abuses either, especially
in Water-Cure establishments, where it should
be avoided as much as may be, or taken only
in the farm of a shower-bath, with the pro
tection of a great coat or an impervious um
brella-.
Dar The Rev. Dr. Nott, President of tnion
•College, N. Y., who is now between 80 and
90 years of ale, in a public address delivered
.a short time since, said: .
"I have been young, and now am old, and
as I stand before God to-night, I declare that
nothing I have ever given in charity, is re
gretted. ono!it is the riches we keep that
perish ; that which we give away, abides with
us forever; it impresses itself in our charac
ters, .and tells on our eternal destiny ; for the
habit of charity formed in this life will ac
company us to the next. The bud which be
gins-to open here, will bloom in full expan
-silon hereafter to delight the eye of angels
and beautify the Paradise of God. Let us,
then, now, and on. every , fit occasion hereaf
ter, practice that liberality, which in death
we shall approve, and reprobate the parsimo
ny we shall then condemn."
STIIEF TO MAKE A SOLDIER.—The best of
bodies as best of minds, it appears, is neces
sary to make an officer for our Army. The
Tribune says:
/‘ The Military Academy 'at West Point has
just been subjected to its annual examina
tion, and a fact has been developed which is
certainly worthy of attention, and which we
notice did receive attention from one of the
examiners. Of nearly one hundred cadets
who entered the class addressed by him,
hardly forty remained. Nearly two-thirds of
those, originally matriculated had been dis
missed from the institution for breach of dis
cipline, for deficiency in scholarship, or, per
haps, lack of health or robust enough to en
counter the routine of the establishment."

Ludwick
This is the name of the farm and the resi
dence of WILLIAM A. STOKES, Esq., near
Greensburg, Westmoreland county, Pa. And
it will well reward one, who has a taste for
combining the beautiful with the useful, and
who takes an interest in the agricultural ad
vancement of our grand old Commonwealth,
to visit this highly improved and well ordered
farm, and examine its appliances and arrange
ments. It was the writer's privilege, last
week to be the guest of the gifted and gen
tlemanly proprietor of this beautiful seat,
and to inquire into the system and detail of
its management. The farm • consists of 260
acres, west of and immediately contiguous to
the borough of Greensburg, and is a lovely
combination of rolling hill and smiling dell,
with a small proportion of forest and copse
wood. It is not only in the highest state of
cultivation, but taste and science have lent
such guidance to toil, as combine ornament
and utility in a high degree. Nature has
done much for this lovely and picturesque
spot, and. art has lent its plastic aid, so as to
make it one of the loveliest in West Pennsyl
vania. The unique and tasteful mansion, of
the Italian villa style, occupies a command
ing site; and attracts the observation of the
travellers upon the Pa. R. R. which sweeps
around. the eminence upon which the house
is erected. The porter's lodge—the winding
carriage way, the lawns and invirons of the
mansion, with their terraces and walks, and
trees, and shrubs, and flowers, all are in good
taste, and. make an impression of neatness
and. comfort without tawdry ostentation.—
The view presented from the balconies or the
bay window of the library, and especially
from the eminence in the rear of the lawn,
is one of the loveliest, most extensive and
varied that our country presents. The pleas
ant village of Greensburg with its churches
and spires and its magnificent Hall of Jus
tice lies close on the foreground. To the right
a verdant dale, dotted with dwellings and
varied with meadow and grainfield and pas
ture, cornfield, sweeps for the south east.—
To the left and in front the rolling surface of
beautiful Westmoreland, extends far, far
away in a landscape of indiscribable beauty,
until it is framed in by the azure ramparts of
"Chestnut ridge"•—whilst through the gorges
of this mountain the still more distant and
dark heights of "Laurel Hill" are here and
there visible. It is a prospect to be studied.;
and. the longer the study the deeper the ad
miration. It wants nothing to make it per
fect, but the silver sheen of the broad Sus
quehannah, or the wimpling waters of our
own "blue Juniata."
But it was rather of the farm, than of its
surroundings that I had. intended to write.—
Mr. Stokes certainly deserves the thanks of
his fellow-agriculturalists for the pains and.
expense at which he has been to test the value
of improved processes in agriculture. And
I think if our farmers would visit Ludwick,
they would see occular demonstration of the
value of sub-soil drainage, sub-soil plough
ing, a husbanding of manuring agents and
the due combination of agriculture and keep
ing stock. It is worth a ride to Ludwick, to
see his beautiful Durham and Devonshire
cattle. now he manages to attend to a labo
rious and responsible practice at the law ;
and to see that matters on this model farm
go systematically on, is a question which I
would have been:at a loss to answer if I had .
not known something of the talent, energy
and executive ability of the man. As the
proprietor of this beautiful estate was lately
amongst us, and in his professional capacity
made a highly favorable impression upon the
citizens of our county, I thought your read
ers would like to hear of him as a Farmer.

Western Town Making.
A gentleman recently returned from the
West, relates to the Boston Traveller that in
setting out early in the morning from the
place where he, had passed the night, he con
sulted his map of the country, and finding
that a very considerable town, called Vienna,
occupied a point of his road, but some 12 or
15 miles off, concluded to journey as far as
that place before breakfast. Another equal
ly extensive town, bearing as sounding a
name, was laid down at a convenient distance
for his afternoon stage, and there he propos
ed halting for the night. lle continued to
travel at a good round pace until the sun had
risen high in the heavens, and until he com
puted that he had accomplished more than
twice or thrice the distance which he propos
ed to himself in the outset. Still he saw no
town before him, even of the humblest kind,
much less such a magnificent one as his map
prepared hint to look for. At length, meet
ing a solitary wood-chopper emerging from
the forest, he accosted him and inquired how
far it was to Vienna. "Vienna," exclaimed
the man, "why you passed it five and twenty
miles back. Did you notice a stick of timber
and a blazed tree beside the road?--that was
Vienna !" The dismayed traveller then in
quired how far it was to the other place, at
which he designed passing the night. " Why
you are right on that place now," returned
the other side of yon ravine, and runs down
to a clump of girdled teees which you will
see about a mile farther on the road."—
"Are there no houses built!" faltered out
the traveller. "Oh, no houses whatsom ever,"
returned the woodsman; "they hewed and.
hauled the logs for a blacksmith's shop, but
before they raised it, the town lots were all
disposed of in the Eastern States, and every
thing has been left, just as you now see it ev
er since."
A RAPID YOUTH.--A contemporary says he
would be willing to put his young friend, IL
H. Pardon, editor of the Fort Gibson (Miss)
Rerielle, against the fastest young American
in any other State of the Confederacy. He
is not yet nineteen years old; has been editing
a newspaper for nearly four years; has court
ed and been accepted by at least a dozen of
the most intelligent and handsome young la
dies in Mississippi—did't marry either of them
and last though not least, met the chivalrous
and gallant editor of the Natchez Free Trader,
James McDonald, in mortal combat, got woun
ded in the arm, returned to his post, and went
to work as if .nothing had happened. Ho will
do to bet on.
AN EDITORIAL SANCTUM IN KANSAS.—The
Kansas correspondent of the Richmond En
quirer, in a recent letter to that paper, thus
describes the sanctum of the editor of the
Weekly Herald, printed in Leavenworth City,
at the time he made it a visit:
It will not be amiss here to give you a
sketch of the office as presented to the eye of
a stranger from Louisiana. " A visit to the
printing office afforded arich treat. ()neuter-
ing the first room on the right hand, three
law 'shingles' were on the door; on one side
was a rich bed=-French blankets, sheets,
table cloths, shirts, cloaks and rugs, all to
gether ; on the wall hung hams, maps, veal
son and rich engravings, onions, portraits,
and boots; on the floor were a side of bacon,
carved to the bone, corn and potatoes, sta
tionery and books ; on a nice dressing case
stood a wooden tray half full of dough, while
the crockery occupied the professional desk.
In the room on the left—the sanctum—the
housewife, cook and editor lived in glorious
unity—one person. He was seated on a
stool, with a paper before him on a piece of
plank, writing a rigorous knock-down to an
article in the Kicicapoo Z'ioneer, a paper of a
rival city. The cooking stove was at his
left, and tin kettles all around ; the corn
cakes was a ‘doin,' and instead of scratching
his head for an idea, as editors often do, he
turned the cake and went ahead."
CAN'T SWALLOW NEGROES WITOLE.—The
Wilmington Herald, a staunch Republican
paper in Illinois, which has swallowed all the
other isms of the party without a bone stick
ing in its throat, has not the anaconda-like
property of gulping down " negro equality,"
though covered with the saliva of " brudderly
feeling and mock philanthropy, previous to
deglutition. The editor says: "Whenever
negro suffrage becomes one of the planks of
the Republican platform, we shall feel free to
seek some other political organization, and
we think we should find most of our Republi
can brethren in the same way."
A Singular Being---A Stone Eater.
We saw this morning near the depot, a
singular specimen of manity, who was
gathering contributions of money from the
spectators, and. repaid. them by swallowing
pebbles. We saw six stones, weighing from
one to two ounces each, swallowed. succes
sively by this man, and were assured by
others, that he had within an hour, swal
lowed nearly fifty . of the same sort. There
was no deception in the matter. The man
crossed his hands upon his back, and. al
lowed any one of the spectators to drop the
stones in his mouth; and each was plainly
swallowed. He was content to swallow stones
at the rate of two cents a piece, as long as
the spectators would furnish the money.
This singular being is a German of di
minutive size, lean, but apparently healthy.
A gentleman - present, who could converse
with him in the German language, gathered.
from him that ho was fifty-four years old,
and had been in the habit of swallowing
stones since he was eighteen years of age,
and. earned his living in that way—often
swallowing fifty
. a day. He said he experi
enced no uneasiness or painful sensation
while the stones were in his stomach or in
testines, and that they readily passed away
with fecal matter. This man should unite
with the one who was about here last fall,
sticking knives and pins in his flesh, and
make up an exhibition of monstrosities.—
Rochester Union.
THE WAY THEY" . GET RICH OUT WEST.—The
Newburyport Herald reltdas the experience
of a friend, just returned fibm the West.—
He says:—"Here is the whole story. We
complain of hard times, and go West to bet
ter our condition. If we would live in a log
or mud house with one room and no floor,
sleep on straw, go bare footed, wear the cheap
est and coarsest clothes, and deprive ourselves
of all the comforts of life, anybody might
squat upon two acres of common pasture,
and with the same labor, be as rich in seven
years as upon any half section of land in
Kansas; and if there were hundreds thus
squatting, they could get up a land fever,
speculate in lots, and have the prices go up
as they do in the West.
What people save in the new States they
crush out of themselves, and that' they do
anywhere. All the advantage they have, is
the privilege of living as mean, and being as
mean,.and having their children as mean, as
human nature will bear, with nobody to find
fault with it; while here, living in the same
manner, they would separate fromtheinasses,
as much as the gipsies do. If any of our
people wish to learn practically about this
matter, let them take a view of the basket
makers who drive into market from New
Hampshire, and then go home and live with
them a month in the back part of Barrington,
and they will be saved the trouble of going
to Kansas.
E 3 L " Pat, which is the way to Boston?"
" How did you know my name was Pat ?"
" 0, I guessed it."
" Thin be the holy poker, if ye're so good
at guessin' ye'd bether guess the way to Bos
ton."
Terrible Riots in New York
Many Killed and Wounded—The Military
Ordered Out—Streets Barricaded.
Num YORK, July 4th, midnight.—There
was a great deal of drunkenness and disorder
in this city on the occasion of the National
holiday. The military made a splendid dis
play this morning, and immense throngs of
persons witnessed their manmuvres.
Governor King and Mayor Wood reviewed
the troops in the Park, and then dined to
gether at General Sandford's.
This morning a very serious riot occurred
at a drinking saloon, at No. 40 Bowery. The
disturbance first took place at two o'clock this
morning. It commenced between a gang of
low ruffians from the Five Points, called the
"Dead Rabbit Club," and a party of the
" Bowery Boys."
The riot was of the most terrible character,
all sorts of weapons and missiles being used,
and many persons were injured seriously.—
The police finally succeeded in quelling the
riot, and in driving the rioters away.
At seven o'clock this evening the Bowery
Boys who were injured in the morning by the
" Dead Rabbits," rallied in great strength for
the purpose of revenging the injuries they
had received in the morning, and another and
a far more terrible riot was the result.
Tho second riot took place in Bayard street,
near Baxter. Tho police came upon the
ground after the riot had been progressing
for some time, and upon their arrival they
were greeted with a volley of stones, and
musket and pistol shots.
Several of the officers fell and were carried
off the ground dead or in a dying condition.
The policemen suffered dreadfully from the
violence of the rioters.
The latter then proposed to destroy the
Metropolitan police station-house, in White
street, but they were foiled in this design.
The seventy first regiment was ordered out,
and marched to the scene of the riot. The
rioters, on both sides, had meantime barrica
ded the streets with carts, &c., and from be-
hind the bulwarks thus thrown up, they fired,
indiscriminately i upon the crowd.
It is reported that many are killed and
vs-minded; but in the confusion, which prevails
to-night, it is impossible to give the details of
this story of bloodshed and outlawry.
The most terrific excitement prevails thro'-
out the city, and in the district in which the
disgraceful scenes have been enacted, martial
law is virtually in force. This is by far the
most serious disturbance that has occurred in
New York since the Forrest and Macready
riot in May, 1849.

JULY AND AUGUST APPOINTMENTS
DR.. HARDMAN, Physician for the
disease of the Lungs,
(formerly Physician to Cincin
nati Marine 'Hospital) will ho in attendance at his rooms

Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Larryngittis and all diseases of the throat and lungs, by
Medical Inhalation, lately used in the Bromton Hospital,
London. The great point in the treatment of all human
maladies, is to get at the disease in the direct manner.—
All medicines are estimated by their action upon the organ
requiring relief. This is the important fact upon which
Inhalation is based. If the stomach is diseased we take
medicine directly into the stomach. If the lungs are dis
eased, breathe or inhale medicated vapors directly into
the lungs. Medicines are antidotes to disease and should
be applied to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the
application of this principle to the treatment of the lungs,
for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells, and
tubes which lie out of reach of every other means of ad
ministering medicines. The reason that Consumption,
and other diseases of the lungs, have heretofore resisted
all treatment has been because they have never been ap
proached in a direct manner by medicine. They were in
tended to act upon the lungs, and yet were applied to the
stomach. Their action was intended to be local, and yet,
they were so administered that they should only act con
stitutionally, expending their immediate and principal ac
tion upon the unoffending stomach, whilst the foul ulcers
within the lungs were unmolested. Inhalation brings
the medicine in direct contact with...the disease, without
the disadvantage of any violent action. Its application is
so simple, that it can be employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. It does not derange the stomach, or In
terfere in the least degree with the strength, comfort, or
business of the patient.
Other Diseases Treated.—ln relation to the following dis
eases, either when complicated with lung affections or ex
isting alone, I also invite consultation, I usually find them
promptly curable.
Prolapsus and all other forms of Female Complaints, Ir
regularities and Weakness.
Palpitation and all other forms of Heart Disease, Liver
Complaints, Dyspepsia, and all other'diseases, of stomach
and bowels, Sc.
All diseases of the eyo and car. Neuralgia, Epilepsy,
and all forms of nervous disease.
