Wasrmns Lams:—The editor of the Balti
more Pah jot, having been on a tour through
the west, says that land speculation consti
tutes the most prominent and profitable bu
siness there. Lands located at the Govern
ment price or bought at second hand at a
considerable advance, have steadily increased
in value, so that large tracts of prairie land
purchased at $1,25 to $3 per acre, have been
sold at $l5 to $lB and $2O, with no cost to ow
ners beyond taxes, while farms bought atss
per acre have yielded sufficieut to pay not
only the expenses of improvement but the
original east of the land, and in some cases
$5O, SGO and $7O per acre have been offered
and refused for them. All this is, of course,
attributable to the infinence of railways,
I Which have rendered these lands valuable
by furnishing the occupants with ready ac
cess to markets. That the emigration must
be very lee gt• or these trivets would not bete"
much in dentimd. Railways have directed
emigrants into the proper channels, and at
the same time they 'hare opened up markets,
established depots, and thus enabled the far
i mere to realise money for their produce as
quickly end satisfactorily es in the older

DISINFECTING AGENTS.—The following
which we clip from an exchange, is particu
larly applicable to our local columns at this
season of the year; when great precaution
is requisite to guard against disease The
best and most simple disinfecting agent
known is the chloride of zinc, which is made
by.dissolving zinc in muriatic acid, and is
applied in a diluted stare, to foul and offen- 1
sive drains, cesspools, &c. The sulphate of •
zinc, however, is nearly as good, is cheaper
and is more easily managed. It can be
puretituied.at'any druggists in the form Olt
salt. 2* pound of it asp lesid is two ' , pails
of warliz whir-and,tht;cives4to,sussoffettaire
.., ..... ...
applied pretty freely in thousands of places
in our town. Copperas (sulphate of iron)
may be :Tilled in the lame manner and for
the same purpose. - It is not such a good
Idisinfectant as the chloride of zinc, but is
much cheaper.
We acknowledge the reception:of a
lot of cigars from tho Messrs. Fendrith
Brothers, Locust street, among which was
a huge spocimen about 14 inches long, real
Havana, labelled "4th ofJuly."," We shall
take a big smoke on that day, and improve
this occasion by saying that at - Fendrichs',
every variety of cigars and tobacco can be
found, suitable for all tastes and fancies.—
Their house here is a branch of the famous
Baltimore firm of the same name.
Vair - Dr. Wm. 11. Bruner, formerly of Ma

that his "prospecting" in the land of gold

again in health and spirits. Like all Cali

rather dull and monotarious, and he talks

Report en Marble playing—presented and
read befiAte , 0. A. Armstrong's English
and Classical school, June 23, 1856.
We, the itembitttee appointed to report on
playing wits Mintier, after a careful - exam
ination and consultation, have arrived at
the fulidwing conclusions:
We think, riMti experience and from ob
servation. that it has many bad consequen
ces connected with it, a few of -which we
proceed to shoiv:
We are of opinion, from the little knowl
edge we have of :our own animal system,
that it is injurious to health; the continued
steeping to the ground, compresses the chest
and the lungs hare tint roam for Tree and
unrestrained Action. In playing Marbles.
the chest is ,-breught down close to the
„.roued. and as there is plenty of dust rising
from the feet of the players,- it is inhaled
into the lungs, where it cannot' help produ
dna iiritetion. - . . • • i
The body, whileyoung, 'needs plenty ofl
healthy _exercise for its full 'development;
this, Marble playing does not give, and
much prociouttAnce which might he devoted
to thispurpote,k th us 'wasted.
Again—around a Marble ring is gener
ally
colleeted a'eroord of 'boys Of all - ages
and charactei---good and bad are mixed '
promiscuously—and somatiin'es we see the
carefully brought ;up son playing with dirty
and swearing fellows, who spend most of
the day on the street, at such amusements.
For the time,`the playereare so much excited
(for there is a strange fascination in Marble
playing, like all other games of skill or
chance) that they forget every thing else;
regardless of the conduct of their less refin
ed companions, regardleis of filth, health or
anything else—.their whole mind concentra
ted on thet of their ."shot."
There ire
Lenny' occasions of cheating in
this gaine—a there arc always boys wil
ling to do anything,. however wrong it may
bo, to gain thek ends or to win the game.
- One boy takes hie "shot," bite a Marble
and sends it, as be says, over the ring.
This assertion is denied by another who
gar,' "it is not over," the &rimer affirms that
it is, the latter takes offence because his
word is contradicted and often confluences
to curse and swear. The - parties become
intensely excited, and the quarrel termite
atm, not unfrequentiv in a fights—a dis
graceful street fight. - thus, the amusement
being in itself unhealthy, and leading, as we
believe, to cheating, lying, swearing and
fighting; we- have come to the conclusion
that it is a dirty, mean practice and should
be abandoned by all boys who have are
gard for their:character. . . •
But as we.don't care much about exercise
in hot weather, we think the best way to
Spend beY's:: leisure time would be, to fix
thentschres 'bias erect and healthy position
and read a gflel anti instructive book.

AMERICAN BENzvoLznicz.— r -Like every
thing else in America, benevolence is going
ahead. Tho receipts of nineteen of the
great Christian - organizations Ibr the year
ending April last 'were $1,849,823 48, being
an increase of 5207,948 87 upon those of the
previous year. It is a common thing for
foreigners to stigmatize us Yankees as wor
shippers of the almighty dollar, and they
are right. We do 'worship the almighty
dollar, for we know well its power to do
good. Let pestilence or famine sweep over
our own land, or devastate homes abroad,
and who so ready as the American to send
his hard-earned dollars to the relief of the
needy? The suffering poor of Ireland have
time and again attested the fact the ''al
mighty dollar" of the American, has been
for them an angel of mercy.
WHAT IS Tnx.isetil—According to the
Constitution of the United Stateis, it is "le
vying war against them, or adhering to their
enemies." But the Border Ruffians say it
is the election by the people of a territory—
as has been done many times—of Delegates
to a Convention, to decide upon a State Con
stitution. and the subsequent election of
State officers under that Constitution, al
though the said officers disclaim all purpose
to exercise their functions until the State
shall be admitted into the Union. The
Border Ruffian interpretation has been
adopted by President Pierce, and all the
leadirig men of the territory have either
been arrested to answer this chirp, or fled
into free States, for that safety to their
sons and property, whieh was denied-to
them there. •

fifteen months old, found amid the wreck
and ruins created by the late railroad Ca

is supposed to be French. The innocent
was picked up unhurt amid tho slain and
