Mrs. V. was phiciil in the nstitn'.ioi) tv her husband, who lives i:i New Orleans, because of her being mulct the influeneo of Furniss to nn extraordinary depree; end the uffiduvit of Mrs. W confirms this fuct, by the develop ment of perhaps the most sinenliir flute of 11 (fairs ever inude public in a court of luw. The following are some exltacls from the ufli'liivit : ' I was married to Olivpr O. Wnndmnn iihotit ten years since. In July, 1854, my husbatul to'utt me to Kuropn on ucrotint of my health. I hud been suffering a long limp from a disease of the nervous system. On the 2d of November he left 1110 in Faris un der charge of ufuinily ifa mutual friend, t hit I uiipht liuve the lieuefit of the must skilful incdiiul adviFers, J'or the lirtt-2 nion'.hs I was well onniieh to eo out. IHrt;iji this time I funned nn netpininlnnce of Mr. Unrri ner rur:iiss. .v. hiise mot her und older brolher i hud known in Ainerita. From rutly in January to July, when my linshuiid retuninl to I'uris, I was confined to my room 11 lurya part of the time by severe illness. My at tending physicians were Dr. ilviu, Sir J. Oliver, lr. Dubois and others. Ilurintr April nnl Muy my life was despaired of and my friend so wrote to .Mr. Woodman. I have oftea since wished 1 could liuve died at that limp. Durinp my ,i!1nps3 Mr. Fnrniss was extreme ly kind and alleutive to me, und gained my perfect confidence. His influence over me, v. as Iiiie 11 strange infutiifllioti. I loaned him, money freely when I hud il, Kotno of whic'.i he paid hack. I have no knowledge or the umnmit. Hut about the time I relumed to America, lie informed. me thnt he owed nie iihtmt sixteen hundred tLillara, and tt!d me to sny nothing nhotit it ; that he expected to be rich, und would pay me back double the amount. At thut time I thought nothing of it, and did not care what he had hud. About November, IS.'iS, I left New York for the South, and went for a time tn the house of my lather in Mississippi. While there 1 corresponded with said Gardner Fur niss at his urgent request. Hy means of my letters und others, he had it then in his pow er to rum my reputation, and, as he supposed cause me to be discarded by my husbutid, in January. 1055, after 1 returned to New Or lu.i'.s. The next day after his arrival he nsk ed 1110 for some money. 1 hud then only 58, which I gave him. lie was not satisfied with that. The next day I obtuined and gave him SI. "ill more, lie urged me to get u di vorce fi o 111 my husband and then marry him. Stuted that he lni.il liaij a lawyer to examine the laws of Lonisiuna, r.nd that if I could oh. tain a divorce I would he enlilled to one half of my husband's etitale in Louisiana and thus I rould I'btaiu by that means from fifly to seventy-five thousand dollars I hat if I did not create soma diflicully und obtain a divorce, he would expose my letters to my husband, ai d that there were expressions in thptn that would induce my husband to apply for a di vorce which would disgruce me, ile tifier terwurds culled on in a repeatedly for more money, and upon my refusing to give it to him he threatened to show Mr. Woodman the letters which had written to him, and alio a portrait or tne which he hud. He told me the letters which I hud written to him would cause Mr. Wondmun to discard me und that he Mr. Fnrniss, would disgrace and ruin me, unless1 I let him have ull the money I could get. I had during that period. 1111 allowance In n. inv husband of 8100 per month, till of which 1 gave Mr. Furniss; ith thai he gut along until the latter purl of April About the Jfilhof April he culled on me for money to pay his hoard hill, which he said, was bhout it? 2:0. I had no money, and told him so; upon which he not only threatened me, but actually beat me with vio Icoco broke opes my wardrobe, tod took away my jewelry and lom ' valuable !cM. some of which lie dropped in the entry $ be was carrying them away, and again threaten ed to disgrace me and to aeud it.y letters to Mr. Woodman. At one time, while in New York, he took from me a valuable diamond cross, worth about 9510 or SGOO, and told me ha had lost it. - ile pot an advertisement in the Herald fort't; thia he afterwards returned. During the same autumn; 1856, at the New York Hotel, I had $5. which I had laid apart to pny n bill of Mr. Dieden, dress maker, for $82. This money was In a trunk which was standing oppn. No one wns in the room but Mr. Fnrniss and myself. When my girl Jane came in directly, I told her to take the money and go back and pay Mrs. Uieden'g bill. She looked for tha money, but it was gone, and could not ba found, Furniss afterwards acknowledged to me that ha had taken 5 of it, and lauirhed. About the same time Mr. Woodman pave me the money to poy for some gmnll articles of furniture which I had ordered. , Furniss took away most of thia money all but $25 and I wns obliged to make some excuse for not taking the articles to the people from whom I had bought them. Last winter said Furniss went to New Or leans again. A few days after his arrival hq came to me and asked me to give him glC-O which I did. And afterward, gave him nil my allowance, say $100 a month. During that winter he persecatad me constontly with th reals and exactions. When I was going to a bull in the pvening he would come inlo the room and take my jewelry and put it into his pocket, and refnpeil to let mo have it to wear unless 1 gave him money, telling me If I went without it Mr. Woodman would insist upon knowinsr whpre it was gone h i I would raise every effort to raise money Tor him and sell every thing in my power ir.y dresses rich emliroiderieg ono piece of embroi dery which I sold to Miss cost fiver two hundred dollars ; most of the articles I sold to ladies of my acquaintance ; made ex enses arjout my health about gninir back to Paris, &c. I sold most of my very handsome handkerchiefs; gome of them costing 25 or 30 apiece my velvet mantilla my lace flounces a great deal of my expensive litce, some two yards wide, gime three Vnrds two very pretty lace bonnets which I brought from Paris. In short, I could not keep jew elry or anything valuable in my room. I giivu my jewelry box to Mr, Wondmun, and requested him to place the same in the bank, lilt-tending t i bitn that I was ft'Vaid il mi;. 1 1 he stolen, but in fact to keep it from Mr. Furniss to whom I told that Mr. Woodmnn W.1 ttkt-n my jewelry from me. II lie most valuable jewelry that I hive lefl, still letnains in the bank at New Oileiitig. On rtuturduy, 15th of August, I nrrivd in New York from Boston, by a Full River bout, with my nephew, a son of M r. Hazard's the boat having run into n propelior, we ar rived very late. I wns greatly Tut igued, ner vous and excited. M r. Pike gave rr.e n room. Oily and I took breakfast in the room ; Mr. Furniss called, but soon left. 1 sent my nephew down to Mr. Merrick to enquire if liti had tiny news of Mr. Woodmnn, as 1 had not heard from him for some lime, and I did "ft rnoiv he hnd s.rri'i' i'l "e' Y' rV. i had been expecting hint to come North for several weeks, and wns very desirous to know where he was. It afterwards appeared that Mr. Woodman had arrived at New York on Thursday evening previous, and sent my bro ther to Boston for me. but he missed me M r. Wuodmiti hiving discovered just before leaving New .Oileuns. something of my uffair uilh Mr. Fuiiksj, had refrained from writing to me. After Oily had gone some one knocked at the door, 1 hud partly undressed thought it was Oily come back; found it was Mr Furniss ; he pushed in ; said hu wanted to liuve un understanding with me; said thut I must give him $ 1,500 ; thut if 1 would do so, unci contradict whatever Mr. Hazard might say, Arc, he would leave tne iilone and never trouble uie any more. 1 told him thut 1 could not; thut 1 hud uo meuns of getting it. Then hu begun lo abuse me, knocked me acror-s the room j euid he would kill me; rhoked me so hard us to make me black in the lace ; threw me ou the bed und up against the v.ull So violently us almost to mukw t'.te eensaluss, und eu thut he himself was nluruicd, und threw a pitcher of v.uter on me to brinj; me to. Then he pulled ofTliis clothes, and I scream ed, und just Iheu some ono knocked at thu door. 1 went In the door und found thut it was Mr. Woodman, who hurl co.no up. During the uuove interview Furnisj nrged me to get the money by making out false bills and getting the money (torn Mr. Woodinat), or by taking jewelry. Also he insisted that he knew my lalher had given tne l,."i00lo buy i'i,n"o:i,U or silver, und hu was deter mined lo huve it. When ho lound he could not get the money he used violence us 1 have stated. He auid, "Your husband und your brother are coming here ; there mil be u fuss mid 1 mean to ruui you first, und put you in the gutter, whore 1 ahull he. 1 hate you and 1 hule ull your luinily, because you Won't be liuve to nie us you fchotild." Mrs. W., in her stateinei't, relates many other similar (ceiii-n between Furniss and herself, and (ays he attempted to inuku her forge her husband's nuiue lo drafts. A num. ber of notes which passed between the parties are published, und uuioug them this on a from Furnias lo M is. W.

In some esses that came under our police, the potato hills wero Uol sufticicnll pijU'C ted from tho frost, and in the fpriig the potatoes were found lo be much it'iired.

Such cellar is also invulunble for keeping all other root that is necessary to h ive ac cess to at all times for feeding. We knnqr a liirrt'er who made a h'l.a ce'.Ut in th's Ull 'ot 1813, and who raiseg on an average a thou gand bushels of potatoes a year, lie has been cHubled to take advanlngu of tho market nnd sell them when tln-y would bring tho highest price, and calculates that 1. 4 hus realised at least twenty cents A bushel more than I119 neighbors, who sell a portion of their crop ag eonn as duar, and burv the remainder in the ground and gall on the breuking up or iiooi, mi me spring. 1 ue extra p-oiil the first year mors than paid for mnkitv Iho cellur. Then ha has never lost a bushel by freoging, and the trouble of storing is very little, compared to burying in hills. In ad- dition to all these advantages he has ample room inr storing all Kinds ol roots, pumpkins. &0. Such experience will not be disregarded by Ihe wise. We urge this matter because we think that to many of our readers it Is of great linpnitance, nnd has been too long tleg. le.cted.
