CIDER. —Here is a recipe worth to far mers the price of out paper for a year : Take a pint of pulverised charcoal and put it in a small cotton hag, then put it % a barrel of new cider, and the cider will never ferment—never -contain any intoxi eating quality, and the longer it is kept the more palatable it becomes.' Fence Posts. A practical fanner informs the editor of the Hartford Times, that in taking up a fence that had been set fourteen years, he noticed that some of the posts remained nearly sound, while others were rotted off jit the bottom. On looking for the cause, he found that those posts (hat were set limb part down, or inverted from the way they grew, were soutul. Those that were set as thev grew, were rotted off. 'I lie fact is worthy the attention of every far mer. The Turnip Fly. It seems now to be confidently afiirmed, in some of the European agricultural jour- . nals, that sulphur or brimstone, may be effectually employed as a preventative. — j One mode of using it is, slightly to mots- , ten the seed and toll it in sulphur previous ! to sowing. The other, to keep the seed , for sometime in the sulphur, and to sow the sulphur with the seed. It is affirmed that the young plants in this way become ! so strongly impiegnated with the sulphur, that the fly will not touch tlicin. Sulphur is so extremely subtle, that it is known to diffuse itself in a very short time through the vegetable, as well as the animal system, and it is known to be obnoxious or des tructive to the whole race of insects. The ' turnip seed imbibes it, and imparts it, with the sap, to the young plumule, or stem. Kentucky Sweet Cake. A pint of fine yeiiow Indian meal, sifted. Half a pint of w heat flour. Half a pound of powdered white sugar. Half a pound of fresh butter. Eight eggs. A powdered nutmeg. A large teaspoonful of powdered cinna mon. A glass of white wine. A glass of brandy. Having powdered the spice, and mixed together the wine and brandy, put the spice to steep in the liquor. Mix well the Indian meal and wheat flour, putting them into a broad pan. In another pan, 6tir together the butter and sugar (as for a pound cake,) till they are very light and creamy.— Break theegga into a shallow earthen pan, and beat them till very thick and light Then by degrees, stir into the beaten but- j ter and sugar, the spice and the liquor, a little at a time of each. Afterwards, add alternately the meal and the beaten egij, j also a little of each at a time. Stir the whole very hard when all the ingredients are in. Butter a straight-sided tin pan, put the mixture into it ; set it immediately into a rather brisk oven ; and bake it well , fcr three or four hours or more, in pro portion to its thickness. 1 his is a very nice cake. It should be j eaten the same day that it is baked ; as when stale (even one day old,) all Indian i cakes become dry, hard, and rough. It will be improved by the addition of a pound of raisins, stoned, cut in hall, and well dredged with wheat flour to prevent ■ their sinking to the bottom. Sultana or seedless raisins are best for all sort 9of cakes and puddings. The London Patent Journal informs its readers that ivory can be rendered flexible by subjecting it to the action of hydrochlo ric actd, and that M. Charriere, of Paris, the distinguished instrument maker, is con stantly in the habit of employing this pro- j cess in his workmanship. AN IMPJKTANT INVENTION—WOVEN IRON. --Messrs. Wjckcrsham &: Walker, ' of Philadelphia, have a patent right for the ; manufacture of Woven Iron. This im provement doe 9 away with the necessity of, civets for the purpose of fastening iron work together, where it is used for grat ing of any description. The manufactur- ' ers are enabled to weave iron as large as railroad bars, or the smallest description of wire. They are now applying it to the following purpose: Iron railings of end- Jess varieties, embracing beauty, strength end style of finish never surpassed, for public grounds, buildings, cottages, ve- j randahs, lawns, cemeteries, &c., iron bridges, galleries for churches, gratings for prisons, window shutters, and grating f>r stores, columns and cornices for cot t -ges, tree boxes, summer houses, guards for decks of steamboats nnd vessels, .Vc., vVc., being cheaper than wood or cast iron.

THE PIULLIITINKS— ManiIIa. —From the capital of the Spanish possessions in the East accounts have been received to the 17th of may. The Marianas, n group of islands to the eastward of Manilla, havo been visited by a severe epidemic, which, singular enough, was followed hy a series of most violent shocks of earthquake, which decimated the population and destroyed the habitations. The Marian is belong to Spain, and are inuC.h visited by whaling I ships in the Pacific. Senor Perez, a Span ish functionary, writing from Agana, da ted March l'i, remarks that the year wn ushered in by a violent epidemic, accom panied by catarrh and coughing to so vio lent a degree as to destroy the sense of hearing, the ear emitting blood and mat ter, from the effects of which the sufferers remained deaf even after their recovery from the epidemic. To so greet extent was the disease, that senrcely a family had one member that could attend upon the ; sick. Broths and soups were provided bv the government functionary, Peres, and distributed in all public places by young lads, who were but seldom attacked with the disorder; by these means the inhabi ! tants were saved from starvation. Death stared all in the face. In the streets the 1 hniy sacrament was ready for all commu nicants, but the avenues were completely deserted, scarcely any one being able to quit their s.ck chamber. The disease at j lacked 95 out of every 100 of the popula j tion, and a vast many diod. The epidemic ! continued till the 22d and 23d of Febru aiy, when the weather changed and the sick began to recover fast. Another arid a more tearful calamity overtook the peo ple. -On February 25, 2h. 40m P. M., a terrible terrene convulsion occurred; the consternation was indescribable. The i place was soon a heap of ruins, and the sick inhabitants buried underneath. The shocks of earthquake, 128 in number, con tinued with more or less violence until 11. It was apprehended the island would have been completely submerged, the in habitants being -kept in a state of momenta ry anticipation of death by a kind of sub terraneous boiling, as it were, which lasted nine days, and which, when the feet were on the ground, caused a seosation similar to that of a river flowing beneath. This caused cveTy one to apprehend they were on a volcano, and would suddenly be thrown into the uir, on its bursting forth. Un der such circumstances, the inhabitants , prudently quitted the island, and look re- \ fuge in the shipping, of which there hap pened at the time to be 16 whalers in the i port of Agana. They were still on boatd : the vessels when the last news was recei- j ved, waiting to observe the final event, and trusting to Providence to be üble to return to the shore. CEYLON. —The Colombo Observer, of 14th Juue, publishes the following resume of the month's news : A glance at the re turn of exports, under the commercial de partment, will reveal the important fact that from 1 st Oct- IS4B, to 2d June, 1849 Ceylon had exported coflee to the amount of 317,000 cwts. We think a to tal of 330.000 cwts. may be calculated on for the season, and that would be in lbs. not less than 30,900,000, ns nearly as possible the entire consumption of Britain! We cannot give too great prominence to a fact pregnant with such momentous con sequences. The success of the Ceylon coffee planters now depends more than ever on the prospect of the produce making its way into the markets of continental Eu rope. JAPAN. —Rescue of American Sailors. The United States ship Preble has return ed from Japan, whither she was dispatch ed by Commodore (leisinger, for the pur pose of bringing awav some men belong ing to the American whaler Lagoda. In this Captain Glynn has succeeded, having rescued 13 of the whaler's men, and one seamen named McDonald, who a year ago, at his own request, received hi* dis charge from the Plymouth, whaler, and was put ashore at Matsrnai. Shortly af ter landing he was made a prisoner and conveyed to Nangasaki, where he was kept in close custody and underwent frequent examinations, but without being aware that for many months a number of his fellow countrymen were confined within a short distance of his cell. There he was occa sionally visited by parties of Japanese; but being deprived of Ins books and ail ordina ry sources of amusement, after acquiring a few words of the language, he commenc ed schoolmaster, and was attended hy a pretty large class of students in the English language. Neither Capt. Glynn nor any of his officers or crew were suffered to land, but otherwise they teceived neither insult or di-courtesy; on the contrary, everything they wete supposed to want was tendered but declined, solely because the Japanese would accept of no payment. The Pre ble also touched at Loo-choo, a most wel come visit to Dr. Bettleheim, who con tinues to live there, free from any seri ous molestation; but from the fact that the Loo-chooans were very urgent that he should be taken awav in the Preble, we imagine he is making no great progress in their good graces. China Mail. COTTON CULTURE IN INDIA. —The ship Ganges, from Cochin, the port of the dis trict of Comhatoire, has arrived at Liver pool with a large shipment of cottons, grown on the experimental farm, under the management of Dr. White, nt Durwar.— The shipments comprise several different descriptions of cotton Farm-grown New Orleans, of the crop of 1818-9; sample hales of Mexican cotton, and also farm- grown Bourbon, together with the (Jopnrn cotton.
