A cbncspondent who witnessed the wedding of Countess Bodisco in Washington last week, to an English officer, gives the following rem iniscences of her first wedding: 1 remember the Countess wiioii she was a school girl in Georgetown—-.the sweet ,and loyely Harriet Williams, the favorite queen day., Her worthy merchant of * that ancient and. respectable burgh, gave heir every advantage of education; but-she was as simple, artless and. unaffected as the daughter, of an humble citizen could bo. 1 .Her personal loveliness was something rich and rare; when the sixteenth summer shone on her bright eyes. Her form was a model for a sculptor, so delicate and roundly shaped of beauty seldom realized on earth., -the Count Bodisco first saw her among her' school companions, and vjas at once conquer? ed. He was old* but in 'excellent preserva tion, and when made up—as ho always was whenever ho-appeared before, not only com ply* but most intimate frfends—ho made ®f.g°P.d figure ini the most agreeablesociety, and was highly acceptable; hot only in the saloons of the fashionable* but in aU wclUbred circles. His good nature; and intelligence , commended him also to eminent men of all i political parties. One of his. earliest and j kindest was Henry Clay, for whose talents and-geniality he had an unbounded admiration. .Indeed, he - loved the great statesman .and orator to a degree rather nn-. common among men. But there was really a strong tincture of romantic sensibility about the excellent old'Count. Ho was fbnd of sim ple plc&Bure, an(l innocent enjoyments. The attachment of children to him was extraordi that.genuine benevolence and tenderness of heart which beamed from his countenance .and gushed put in: his .cordial voice. He iwobed :ai¥d won the affections of the inost beautiful girl that had ever been seen in me tropolitan circles. His old diplomatic col- JlppSn® B laughed—some good-natured ladies sneered-r-the baue mpnde wondered, but ho had his own' taste, and hP made the sweet, y°nng, blooming Harriet, Williams his. wife. .It was a, splendid wedding,,beepming the representatives of the Emperor of all Ktissias, but tasteful, chaste and elegant in all its ap pointments. Henry Clay gave away the ;bride: This was in compliance with the par ticular request of the Count, although ner father, Mr, BrOoko Williams was present. Mr. Buchanan was, the principal groomsman, and Jesse Benton (Mrs. Fremont) first brides maid. The. festivities' were in the. highest style of that hospitality for which Count Bo disco was so long famous among us. Ho was :devoted, some would say a husband, and she wos.a loving, attentive, anlt in* every tespect, exemplary and happy wife,, the light *.of his munificent Home, the ornament of his c ' rc l?».tho companion and’friend of his life, and the of hia last hours, i .

' -At length.they reached the boundary of the former settlement—a dry, sandy soil and a strip of beach, where all vegetation ceased, and only a single pandanas tree, whose roots were thickly interlaced with creeping plants, form ed, as. it .were, the'advanced post of tho vege table .kingdom." Behind this they crawled along, and -cautiously raising their heads, they saw several apes, at a .distance of two or three.hundred paces, some of whom were look-' ing for,something as they walked up and down the beach, while the others stood motionless. It. was the long-tailed brown variety, and Frank was beginnings to regret that ho had not his telescope with him, to watch the move ments of those strange beings more closely, when one; of thom, a tremendously largo fel low, began to draw nearer them. Carefully examining the ground oyer which he went on all fours,'he stood at intervals to scratch him self, or to simp at some insect that buzzed around him, He came ; up so close that Frank fancied that ho mnst scent them and give the alarm to the other monkeys, when suddenly passing oyer a little‘elevation covered with withered, reedy grass, he discovered a party of crabs parading up and down on the hot sand. ’ "VVith d bound tho ape was among them, but hot quickly enough to catch a.sim gle one;. for. the crabs, though apparently plumsy, darted like lightning into a quantity of small holes or cavities, which made the ground here, resemble a sieve, and the ape could hot thrust in his paw after them, for the orifices were too narrow. . _ The mandoqr nudged Frank gently to draw his attention,, find they saw tho apo, after crawling once or twice up'anil down tho small strip ol land, and peering into the. various I holes with his ,noso close to the ground, sud denly seat himself very gravely by one of them that he fdneied most suitable. lie then brought hia long 'tail to the front, thrust, the end of it into the cavity, until he met with an obstacle; and suddenly made d face, which so amuaed Frank that he would have laughed loudly had pot th(i nWtndoor raised his finger warnmgly ; and directly; after, the/ itpe drow out bis Extraordinary hnd with it jerk.

' JUNE;—WORK TO BE DONE. ■ r One of the most important af fairs of. this month is the. accumulation and .preparation of manufes'for autumn use. At this time they should not bo exposed to the atmosphere about stable yards, etc., butshould bo daily removed to the manure sheds, and thus prevent the loss, in part, which would arise from evaporation when exposed to the .sun; The directions we have given for a ma nure hpap, with a well sunk attlio lowoatoud to receive the drainage, and a pump to ele vate it to the top, of the heap-twice each week or oftener, should he strictly followed. Small portions of cheap salt, say halfa bushel, should I; ® “thrown o*l the top of tho heap for each cord lot manure ; deposited at this season j this, to gether with the .return of the drainage, will prevent Jire-fanginy, and materially accele rate the decomposition without loss of ammo- P'o-'. • • '.V- , ■ In the stables free use should he mode of | jElaster of Paris, charcoal dust, etc., so os to cause the absorption of tho grass given off from the bodies of animals.
