This trade has become lately of great im portance, and muoh interest is. manifested in its success and increase. Asa manure it has no equal; and doubtless new supplies will continue to be discovered as tho demand inoreases. The worn and exhausted soils of the Atlantio States need such a manure to revive and enrioh them. It is stated in the Herald that new guano islands have very, lately been discovered in the Caribbean sea, and several largo cargoes have arrived, from those islands, at New York and other parts. This discovery is of much im portance. It saves a voyage of several thousand miles, around the South American continent, to the Islands off the coast of Peru, where it has hitherto been principally obtained. Wo have no doubO this voluqjd® article will yet bo discovered in all tho islands of tho Gulf of Mexico, where birds in countless numbers have been accustomed to- resort during n con siderable portion of each year for.centuries. It is well known that some of the islands near tho coast of Texas, as well as many of the Car ribean islands have been such resorts. And where suoh resorts are found, there guano will doubtless be found in abundance. The manner in which this last discovery was made is not yet known. It was kept a Bcorct until a few men have probably secured from it ample fortunes. A wealthy young merchant of New York, some months ngo, cleared several ships ostensi bly for Brazil.,: The mode in which it was done excited some curiosity at first. But the secret is now out. Those ships havo returned with full cargoes of gnano; and ere the world is , aware of the source of supply, fortunes will bo realized by the fortunate discoverers. Gen. Larimer Before ttie People.

' • •'•-•=•-it"" :1,4" Food and Medicine from the Garden and Orchard. .“We find the following in the Prairis Parmer. Wo commend it to the attention of Agricultural ists and Hortioulturalists, and all our readers who seek, health with a rational enjoyment of the bounties of Providence. : Wo are no Grfl hamites in diet. Wo believe in the use of nw mal food; seasonable and well-preserved fruitß; and well cultivated and properly cooked esculent vegetables. We are not epicures; but we be lieve a bountiful Providonco has provided for man, and designed not only for his sustenance, bnt pleasure, tho moderate use of the" products ! of the harvest fields; tho gardons, the orchards,; tho vineyards, the docks and the herds. , We like the following suggestions of an excel lent writer in the Prairie Farmer Man can subsist on frCßh animal food alone ; I though not on that preserved in salt; and even with a large addition of farinaceous substances, he is but approaching the true mixed diet which his anatomy shows to bo his natural food. Ex perience proves that the obstinate Grahamite, and the kalf-Bavage flesh eater, are nearly equal ly distant from the true hygienio medium. A dne proportion of animal and farinaceous mat ters—vegetables and fruit—all seasonable and fresh, and adapted to the peculiarities of the in dividual—constitutes the necessary and health- ful nutriment of mankind. A large departure from this standard, either way, is sure tobefol- lowed, sooner or later, by a diminution of phy sicnl or mental force and integrity, in the indi-1 vidual and his progeny. Food influences"char-1 actor, health, and longevity, moro seriously than I many of us aro willing to admit; and a proper j regulation of diet is by no means so difficult os. is generally supposed. It is ns easy, and about as cheap to live well as it is to live ill, consider ing the cost of subsistence alone; and that question sinks into utter insignificance when we consider the moral and prophylactic effects of a rational mode of living, contrasted with the re- 1 verse, so prevalent in all parts of our country. Gut this is too general and commonplace. Let us particularize. Few persons out of theranks of horticulture arc nworo of the improvements in varieties of eeculent vegetables. It bos been nearly as great as in pomology and floriculture, and the best sorts can be grown ae cheaply as. tho poorest. A cauliflower costs the gardener little moro than a cabbage— count the twenty I years that asparsgus.will produce orops, from one planting, and it is cheaper than green peas; and if you do not already know it, every one wbo docs will tell you that it ie much the earli- eet, most productive, wholesome nod agreeable. And so on with the hundreds of new varieties, the seeds of which can bo bad of our dealers, who now import largely from Europe, and espe cially France, where the perfection of garden vegetables is an important science. Though not equal to fruits, vegetables are reasonably nutritious, and tend greatly to the preservation of healthy itf their season, and what is moro ore within the reach of every family possessing the use of a rood of ground. Every farmer who plants nnd tends to a garden, will admit, that for the use cf his family alone; it is the most profitable portion of his farm In nnnonl cultivation—and market gardeners mako more money from five ncre9, than most grain growers from five hundred. Many of the small fruits are nearly as rapidly and as cheaply grown as vegetables, requiring little space for the anpply of a faintly; and at this day, the creation ,of a bearing orchard of standard trees, is the work of six or eight years, utmost; and with dwarfs, half the time will convert the nursery tree into a profitable bearer, and give the proprietor of a single acre larger, fairer, and more luscious fruits than are now grown on three farms out of four—the average of the Union over. No one questions the excellency and luxury of fruits, while many do their economy and whole* someness, as articles of food. It has been shown, however, over and over again, that an equal por tion of well chosen soil, with the same outlay In money and labor, will in no other crop, or rota tion of crops, yield ns much money value, dar ing an ordinary life time, as nn orchard. The comparative amount of nutriment has also been settled by rej eated analyses. Take the apple, for example; nnd it has been found much richer in tho principles which go to the formation of death and muscle than the universal potato— though the latter is richest in fattening proper ties. The sweeter fruits are those best calcula ted for food, whilo the ncid sorts aro often most gratefol to thn palate, and valuable ns preven tive and remedial agents. Yrt commend us to tho sugary ones, and to that sweetest of all— the fig—of which we trust a variety may Borneo time be prodaced, sufficiently hardy to withstand the winters of Southern Illinois. But after all where it can t»e perfected in tbo open air, and the soil is weft-adapted to its production, there is no fruit equal to the chape—all things con sidered- There is no necessity of multiplying instances t to provo the curate properties of ripe fruits. Take a familiar and most fcrmldablo class of diseases—" bowel complaints”—including dys entery. &c., as an example. Every old woman will tell you of the efficacy of ripe black berries; and an often quoted bit of history (which tells of an army melting away under dysentery being cured by the soldiers eating freely of tbo ripe grapes in tho vineyards, where they were quar tered to die) —is but ono illustration among thousands which may bo given. Nino ont of ten of theso ca'scß may be prevented by tho habitual use of ripe fruits, and the most sensible remedy for the teeth, is tho jaioes of fruits di rectly administered. In the matnre juices of fruits lio they* medi cal properties. And though a noble and most philanthropic prejudice meets os here, we most; religiously believe, that when properly fermen ted, and freo from adaUerntion, in tbo form of wise and cidee—these aro equally efficient, and, in reasonable quantities, equally harmless. Wo are compelled to believe further, that in tho extension of vineyards and orchards will bo found the lasting remedy for intemperance in America. Cider, superior to half the vrioca of commerce, can be madO; for twenty cents per gallon; and tho wholesome and exquisitlvely delicions Catawba “dry wines’* may yet be pro- i duced at somothing more than double that price, when all the lands in the country that will grow the vine are devoted to its cultivation—and tho lands suited for the Nino aro fit for little else. Such aro our semi-barrens, stream banks, Bteop hill sides, and dry elevations, everywhere south of about tho latitude of forty degrees, in the Uni ted States. Careful estimates give 200 gallons per acre as the lowest annual average, heretofore, of wine •from the Catawba grnpo; and at present prices, a profit of $5O per ncrc is realized. Hardier varieties will be produced hereafter, end there iB every reason to believe that more science in the cnUnre of tho vino and the manufacture of wine, will give greatly increased results in the future, and a more general and extensive plant ing bring the articles within the reach of those who now poison themselves with whisky, or stupify and brutalize humanity on malt liquors, because they are cheap,—nnd at the same timo create a profitable employment for tbo labor now devoted to tho supply of the brewery and the still. Embezzlement or about $30,000. —Tire Pab- TIBB FOLLOWED TO ST. LoBIB AND AB.BESTED.— Throe persons named McCaffrey, Seeliger and Phillips were arrested yesterday on a cbarco of embezzlement, to the aggregate of about $30,- 000, and after undergoing examination before Justice Charles F. Cady, they were committed to the county jail, in default of a heavy security required of them. Our knowledge of tho matter rests entirely on tho statements made in the affi davit and Bearch warrant, which may be tummod up as follows: A Mr. Jacobs, a heavy wine and liquor mer chant of Cincinnati, some time ago bad in his employ a traveling clerk or agent, the Seeliger mentioned above. He rested full confidence in him, entrusting hitq with large amountß of goods which ho carried to for sale. In one of tlieso expeditions, Seeliger brought to St. Louis about $15,000 of cigars, and liquors to the value of $6OOO or $BOOO more. The Whole of these stores he embezzled and sold to McCaf frey bis father-in-law, and to a man named Phil lips. McCaffrey was formerly a citizen of Cin cinnati, and was engaged in the grocery business, but failed, after which ho removed to this city. Who Phillips is we cannot ascertain, bnt believo him aIBO to havo been a Cincinnatian. Mr. Jacobs endeavored without avail to obtain an ac count of, and Tetnrns from the sale of hisliqnors and cigars. At last ..he came, around himself, nnd failing still to obtain a settlement, resolved on bringing a criminal' prosecution.— St. Louis Dem., Dec. 21. gggjp “ Canons ” is a corruptioa of Caulkers, and originated a long time ago in the shipping part of Boston.
