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

ding to its quality. Any person having good
Wheat will do well to call and show a sample
of it, as he thinks he can afford to give more
than any other person in the place, the mill
being situated on the creek, where flour can
be loaded out of the mill into boats, and all ex
pense of hauling, storing, and shipping saved ;
besides, the flour is in better order, as the bar
rels are not injured by hauling and handling.
If wheat brings a better price than it will af
ford to grind, he has the same chance of ship
ping it as any other, as the mill is the most
convenient storehouse in the place, and saves
a great deal of time and labor in hoisting by
water power. On, IIK WILL RECEIVE ON STOR

wheat will be mentioned in it, so as to prevent
any trouble when the owner comes to sell.

BELLEFOSTE, 6th month 23d, 1849.
Thompson <s• Reed: Esteemed Friends—
; I have had the Pennock Drill in use for two
; seasons# and from the vast difference in the
wheat crop over the broad cast, it is my decid
, ed opinion that every farmer should have one
; of them, as he will be a gainer of at least one
; third on each acre of his crop.

Mr. Abner Thompson : Dear Sir—The
Pennock Drill 1 got from you last summer.
; worked to my entire satisfaction, in rough and
: smooth ground. Each tube and hopper work
ing separate and independent of each other, is
a decided advantage, by escaping rocks, roots,
sowing point rows, &c., and from the appear
ance of my crop at this time, there will be a
i better yield to the acre than on what J sowed
broadcast, besides a raving of one halt bushel
of seed to the acre. I believe it is one of the
most profitable agricultural implements in a®
by the farming communitv.

Pen nock Wheat Drill 1 purchased of you last
