Pltiigkhig by Steam.
We see it stated in EnglUh papers that
the 3Iarqnis of Twoedale has succeeded
I'crfcetly in working ploughs by steam
power. The distinguished English agri
culturist, M:. Meche,iu a late article, says,
thcre can be no doubt but that very
fhortly, every agriculturist must use steam
power if he is to stand his ground in-the
race of agricultural .competition. The
want of it is already felt, if not seen, by
tLose who have not the means or the in
clination to use it. The time is approach
ing when a steam cmnue ou a farm will
be as common as the drill orthreshind
machine, although, like fhoni. lfhas to1
pass through the ordeal of dislwliefdoubw
and prejudice.
The Gomi&g Slcction iu ffiai-ac.

That section of the party denominated
"Wild Cats," having triumphed at the
State Convention in the nomination of
Mr. Pillsburv for Governor, the Anti

the Democratic party in favor ot tucpies
cnt liquor law of the State, have not only

.The messenger of the "Newport (11; I.)

the steamer Perry, of a package contain

thousand dollars. lie had put the bag,
contiining the money, on a scat, and
while his -back was turned for a moment,
another bag, precisely similar and con
taining packages of newspapers cut to the
size of bank bills, was substituted. lie
did not discover the robbery until he de
livered the bag at the Merchant's Bank.
- An unrlcrlakirts has been begun in
England, in which the co-operation of A
mericans is solicited. It is to raise the
sum of ?-j,000 for the benefit of the poor
persecuted Madiai who are now in exile,
and in want. In England it is proposed
to confine the contributions to a penny
each, in this country there need be no
such limit. Rev. Dr. Baird, or Anson
G. Phelps, Jr., Esq., of New York, will
receive donations.
Rcmrdy fv Weevil in Wheat.
One pint of salt sprinkled in every
bushel of wheat, will effectually prevent
the weevil. I have known it successfully
tried in several in-tances in Mississippi.
It is intended by some that it prevents the
orrnin from "crminatin'T. U hcthcr it
does or not, I cannot say. It can easily
be blown out by a common fan, when wan
ted for use.
So savs a writer in the Danville Regis
ter. It looked very much as if it would
answer. We have over and over again
recommend the grain bins to be well
cleansed out and sprinkled with powder
ed quicklime.
Riral Cities.
New-TIaven and Hartford, Connecticut

their rivalry, copied from the Xew-IIaven

"Hartford is always trying to outshine
our city. Let ns do what we will, Hart
ford goes right off and does the same
thing. The other day, one of tho lady
passengers in the cars to this city was
made a mother in the ladies saloon, at

Hon. Thomas Benton, the old iron
hearted statesman, jrivcsus,in a few wordrj
the character of politics as it has been for
a Ion time, and is now conducted in this
couutr'. He remarks :
"The famous Madame Roland, when
mounting the scaffold, apostrophised the
statue upon it with this exclamation: Oh,
Liberty! how many crimes are committed
in thy name!' After whnt I have seen
during my thirty years of inside and out
side views, I feel qualified to paraphrase
the apostrophe, and exclaim: 'Oh, Poli
tics! how much bamboozling is practised
in thy- naaie.' "
The Poughkccpeie American says that
a Mr. Richard kosher, of Standfordville,
(Dutchess county, New York,) has for
the last fifteen years been unable to help
himself in the least. His jaws were set
some years since, and his teeth have been
broken, that food might he plaood iu his
mouth. The only jointe he is now able
to more are the extremes of his index
fingers and one or two of his toes.

No less a sum than 44,733 has been con

under which the citizens of N. Orleans are
suffering. Let those who think the world

cases to which it belongs.
To this relief fund Geritt Smith, the

r&g A party of southern "bloods" came
to Philadelphia, and put up at a .first

story, they engaged in a Epreo of the
most aggragated denomination. Having

could be, they rang for more liquor. A
black waiter came up, but did not bring
the kind asked for. So one of the party
cooly took hold of the poor darkey and
threw, him out of the window upon the
sidewalk below. Presently the landlord
rushed up, exclaiming that the' killed his
waiter. "Oh. never mind, said the of

Five hundred and seventy-seven dead

York is rather a hard place lor Horse-

the dog-pound, and fifty cents premium
for each prisoner. The whole bill is quite
imposing; but if the fermenting garbage
remainiu" in the streets was added, it
would be absolutely appaling. What an
immense Golgotha is this city of New
York, to be sure! What a paradise for
soap-makers, bone-boilers, and swill

neither the cholera nor the yellow fever
How very strange! Brother Jonathan.
All accounts concur that there is
larire deficiency in the crop of Europe
butwe doubt very much whethor there
will be, in consequence thereof, anything
like the increased demand for train from
this country which is anticipated by many.
W e believe speculation has already car
ried flour beyond the price it can at pros
ent be sustained; it may be that prices e
ventually may reach a higher point than
the present, but, in ttie mean time, tuer
is. in our oninion. dancer of reaction.
Some of our cotemporarios express the
opinion that we have 'not the quantity of
wheat m the country to supply tnc wants
of Eurone. The New York Courier sup
poses the deficiency will be 18,000,000 of
quarters for England alone, while the en
tire production of the country will be but
19.0UU.UUU oi cmarters. or IoU.UUU.UUU
bushels. France, too, the Courier thinks,
will reauire l.oOG.OOO nuartcrs lrom a
1 ' '
broad. The Courier adds to this lucubri
ous picture:
"In large sections of Italy not half a
crop is expected. Spain complains of a
deficiency", and Sweden has so poor a bar-
vest inpropect, that sue is now iargei
importing irom tne name.
This, wc apprehend, is rather an csos
crated estimate, and should be set down
as the statement of an alarmist rather
than matter of fact. Private accounts
from England do not corroborate the Con
rief's estimate. It is conceded, however
that there is a deficiency, and that the
wheat crop oi the United fctates will
probably be wanted. There arc various
estimates of what will be the deficiency,
and the following authorities are nuotcd

He is, I believe, the most hideous man

others into the river generally for the
sake of their property, sometimes as it
would seem, mo rely for fun. I myself
saw him firing bombs among the people
just to enjoy their fright. Besides, this
horrid mointer, when he hears of girls to
his liking in any family, sends his kav
asses to take them into his harem. The

up some of the gates, and posted soldiora
at the others, to prevent the people ..es

On Saturday morning last, an attempt
was made by several strangers, to arrest

with Mr. Gilchrist. One of the strangers
claimed to be his owner, but as the man
waited on them at supper on Jmuay night,
and at breakfast next morning whn tho
attempt was made, without recognizing
him, we are inclined to doubt it.
Tho soene is described as exciting.
William is full three fourths white, and a
very well made, powerful mulatto. He
was seized irom behind while waiting on
the table at breakfast, by a large strong
man who clasped him round the waist.
Wc are unable to give all the actaus oi
the fight, it passed so rapidly, although
numbers saw it. 'Wc are told that five
men nicked out for the purpose, as, fitted

struggled full twenty minutes with tms
one mulatto man, without being able to
secure him. At one time they had him

and sick on the river bank, but the cry
was soon raised that he had again taken
to the water, and we went down to the
river bank', but the poor fellow had gone

Marshatls were too cowardly to secure
him. even when sick and exhausted nc

"The announcement is made that anoth
er great cave had been discovered in
Kentucky, and exclamations of surprise
and wonder almost universally accomp
any the statement. Yet there is nothing
strange in the discovery. "Wherever what
is called the mountain limestone exists'
there caves are certain to bo found. Iu
.Kentucky this formation is almost uni
versal, so that the State may be called a
vast catacomb. This is especially true
of the Green River country, which is'
honcy-combed with sink holes and caves.
The popular notion is that the Mammoth
Cave is the only one iu Kentucky. The
truth is, it is the only one explored to
any extent, but that there are other,
though perhaps with no openings to the
upper air, every geologist will admit.
It is not impossible that continuous aven
ues, hundreds of miles long, lead under
whole counties in Kentucky. Almost ev

hollow ground, even when not suspected.

what domes, what bottomless abysses this

can realize who have explored it3 mys

that new caves havs been found in Ken
