From Christmas till New Year's day, inclusive—all parties of both houses being occupied in a general miscellaneous frolic—there will be a suspension of histilities. But, from the sec ond day of January till the meeting of the Baltimore and Philadelphia conventions, in May or June, we may count upon the most terrific onslaught upon the cabinet, and upon the most singular, incomprehensible, and abominable bargains, intrigues, and huckster ing, among the various Presidential cliques, to obtain their pasticular ends. We shall have a time ot it—no telling to what consequences it may lead ; they are involved in darkness, mystery and obscurity; but all the symptoms are now discernable of a horrible squabble.— The French, about the name time, expect a revolution. ‘Ve trust it: Providence, as usual to escape it; but, it Mo=e4 rent the prophets tare not deceived us, the Presidential clear lien of 1852 will cause a most horrible rattling among the dry bones in this country.

The diScovery relates to the preservation of milk for an Indefinite period of time. This discovery found a place in the Crystal Palace during the Exhibition; but appears to hav'e escaped the observation of the jury. The milk tablets can be grated into a fine powder and when put into tea they will immediately dissolve, without leaving any sediment whatever behind, while, the Milk itself not only retains its full flavor, but also its nutriliousqualitles.

The first session of the thirtpsecond Con gress commences on the first Monday of De cember, which, in this instance, will be the first day of December, on Monday of next week. There is no constitutional limit to the first session of a Congress; but, its duration be. Mg loft to the disc. - rodeo of the two houses, it has been uniformly the long session. Such the approaching 6assiotr will unquestionably be. Nobody anticipates an adjournment short of the dog days. If it should take place earlier it will he to give all hands art opportunity to mingle in the dirty work of the politicians in the Presidential election. The }louse of Representatives consists of two hundred and thirty-three members, of which one hundred and seventeen area clear major., ity. The gross number of the democrats is one ' hundred and forty-three, or a majority of fifty throe, including democratic Southern Rights men and Northern free soilers. Deducting ail the impracticables of these classes, the demo. crate, it is probable, will still have a working majority, upon all party questions, of from twenty to thirty. The.first business of the House, after calling the roll, will be the election of a Speaker and . Clerk. Doorkeeper and Ptistmaster. These are fat offices; they always bring into the Capitol a swarm of candidates; and a swarm, on this .orcasion, may he assuredly expected. The most prominent candidates for Speaker are Linn Boyd of Kentucky, Mr ; Disney, of Ohin, and General 13.tyly, of Virginia. The most conspicuous candidates for Clerk are Mr. Youtig, at Illinois, the Clerk of the last Con, gress, Cal. Forney. editor of the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian, and Judge-Pottery -late-a mem._ ber of Congress from Ohio. Before the organ ization of the House—that is to say, on or be fore Saturday evening, the 29th day of Novem ber, after dark, (caucuses are generally held in the dark)—there will be a caucus in the Capitol, of the democrats, to decide upon their officers. The whigs may also,hold a caucus, though it is not likely any occasion will arise which they may. be able to turn to any pro timble account. If, however, the Presidential question should be mixed up in these ejections, some sport may be expected in ,the rivalry for the inside track. All the hopeful democratic candidates for 1852, for the Presidency and Vice Presidency—not less than fifty, in the aggregate—may he looked for in Washing ton, to assist in pulling the wires and work- log the ropes. Li the Senate, the democrats will have a ttaj•.)ri;y of from twelve to fourteen; and de ducting all who are likely t4 • be impracticable as :sorthern or Southern ultras, they will still belie an efficient working majority. There is some talk of a democratic demonstration upon the principal officers of the Senate, who have been holding over from one 'Congress to an_ other for a considerable time. The dignity of the body, heretofore, has been co very high that they' have scorned to make an office of the'Sanate, of even three thousand dollars a year. a mere thing of reward among the loaves and fi:hes. But among so many hungry dem ocrats turned out from the executive depart ments, to make room for still more hungry vrhigs, there will be very apt to be a foray upon the Senate. Let Mr. Dickens, the Secretary, keep a sharp eye to the windward. The Effb eta of the Late Exhibition. The late exhibition of the Pennsylvania Stat• Agrichltural Society at Harrisburg has awak ened an interest in this important subject nev er before witnessed in our State. Thousands are beard in all sections of the Commonwealth talking upon the subject, and some have even began to write. Amongst the latter, says the Democratic Union, we are glad to find an in telligent correspondent of the Perry County Democrat, who sigma himself "Wheat," a most appropriate signature fora farmer. It apNars that "Wheat" came to Harrisburg to look at the show, not thinking that it was necessary for him to bring anything for exhibition ; although he was highly gratified at what he saw, he as sures the people of Perry that he could have produced heavier and better wheat, than that which took the premium. He could also have produced cattle and vegetables quite as good as those exhibited at the fair. This was just the case with hundreds of others that we have heard of; they, in their opinion, could bait, produced better articles I than those exhibited. Well let them bring along those better articles next September, and it every one does so, who now says they have good articles, the next will be an exhibition that will astonish the natives. We trust our Perry county friends will here after imitate the examples set them by Slr. G. Barnet, of Bloomfield, who took two premiums. for fine Durham cattle. Let every farmer re member that it is easier to raise a fine Devon, Durham or Alderney cow that will come to maturity at two years of age, than to raise one of the long-sided, raw-boned, rough-hided cows that are never wotth anything for either milk or beef. . It is also easier to raise a good hardy vane. ty of wheat or corn, oats or potatoes than to, cultivate a sickly crop. It is also easier to work with a good plough, harrow, cultivator, thrash ing machine or wheat fan, than with bad ones. Our State fairs bring together the best of these articles, and the beet stock, where all can have an opportunity to see them and make their own selections. They also bring men together from various sections of the State, and as the whole interest of the exhibition is devoted to agriculture, all tell those with whom they come in contact of their mode of cultivation, and the quantities raised of each article. In this way the poor farmer learns from the good farmer, and goes home and profits by what he has learned. The good stock and good seeds are brought here from such counties as Chester, Monigotn• ery, Bucks, &c., and taken to counties clefieierit in them, and in this way the best stock and the best products of the State are divided tip and distributed around. As an evidence of the great advantage of bringing into use different seeds, we need but refer our farmers in the interior of Pennsylva. nia, back a few years to a period that all will remember. Nut many years since the wheat crop failed from rust an fly, arid our farmers became perfectly disheartened, but about this time a patriotic captain of our navy brought a quantity of wheat from the Mediteranean sea, and sowed it on his farm in New Jersey, and induced some of his neighbors to sow it. The wheat proved to be exceedingly hardy, and would produce a fair crop with almost any kind of tillage. It was soon introduced into Pennsylvania, and every farmer knows that the introduction of Mediteranean wheat at that par ticular time was one of the greatest blessings conferred upon the agriculturists of Pennsyl vania. So may it be hereafter with other seeds, and when an extraordinary article is once discov ered, there is no way by which it can be so soon introduced as through the instrumentality of well organized agricultural societies. Let the farmers of Pennsylvania, therefore, give proper encouragement and support to or ganizations of this kind. Iron and Steel Steel is iron passed through a process which is called cementation, the object of which is to impregnate it with carbon. Carbon exists more abundantly in charcoal than in any other fusi ble substance, and the smoke that goes up from a charcoal forge is carbon in a fluid state.— Now, it you can manage to confine that smoke, and put a piece of iron in it for several days, and heat the iron at the same time it will be come steel. Heating the iron opens its pores, so that the smoke or carbon, can enter it. The furnace for this purpose is a conical building of brick, in the middle of which are two troughs of brick or stone, which hold about four torts of bar iron. At the bottom ia a large grate for the fire. A layer of charcoal-dust is put upon the bottom of the troughs then a lay. er of bar iron ; and so on alternately, until the troughs are full. They are then covered over with clay to keep out the air, which if admit , tad, would prevent the cementation. Fire is then communicated to the wood'and coal with which the furnaCe is filled, and continued until the cont;ersiori of iron into steal is completed, which generally happens in ahem eight or ten days. This is known by the blisters on the bars, which the workmen occasionally draw out in order to determine. When the conver sion is completed, the fire is left to go out, and the bars remain in the furnace about eight days more to cool. The bars of steel are then taken out, and either sold as blistered steel, or drawn to a convenietit size, when it is called titled steel German steel is made out of this blistered steel, breaking the bars into short pieces, and weld. ing them together, drawing them to a proper size for use. Fattening Poultry.—Coop up poultry to fatten and they will do well up to 12 or 14 days.— Keep them in the. coops beyond that time, and feed them as much as yon like, they will grow leafier every day laid they grow a sklaftd bones, ar44l.dtv. The Steamboat Major Barnet. The steamer left Mershon's Wharf, Trenton, on Monday, at a few mioutos after seven o'clock, with only nine persons on board. She passed through Trenton Falls in ten minutes, and with out meeting with the slightest impediment, with but half the quantity of steam, arrived at -the Yardleyville Bridge in 50 minutes. At Yardleyville, a large nurnber of stone were taken on board, and placed so as to keep her down to her works and alter waiting for some time, for the rafts which were coming through the Falls, the sukuner was ready to attempt the Falls at half past 10 o'clock. The pilots managed her with perfect ease, and put on the steam with so much judgement, that in twenty minutes she had passed through the rapid channel, where so many people stoutly as. serted she never could go. At first, she seemed to labor, and moved but slightly, but her speed gradually increased, and when within fifty yards of the mouth of . the Falls, she walked through more gracefully and more rapidly, than at any other point in the rapids. She had on eightyfive pounds of steam--some five pounds leis than when she failed before. At twenty minutes before twelve o'clock. she passed under the Taylorsidle Bridge amidst the cheers of the ladies and gentlemen on the banks. The excitement of the people seemed to increase as the boat passed_up. At Titusville, a large number of people were on the bank, and received the steamer with evi. dent pleasure. The boat stopped at Titusville about five minutes, and took on board several gentlemen of that place. She then passed on tip the river and was met with cheers all along the bank, and arrived at the font of Well's Palls, about a mile and a half from Lambertville, at ten minutes before one o'clock. Having succeeded in getting this far, the cers on board made up their minds to move with considerable caution, and first resolved to have everything in perfect order,-and to reconnoitre the channel before they attempt the falls. Further.—We received, last evening, at seven o'clock, the gratifying intelligence, from Dr. L. Lilly, that the Major William Barnet has arrived at the Lambertville wharf. The following is the despatch: "The Maj. Barnet gallantly ascended Well's Pall's, amidst the cheers of the people. She reached the Lambertville wharf at six o'clock, P. M., after having been considerably interrupt. ed by rafts. The greatest excitement prevails. The people are cheering and cannon are being fired. The Major Barnet will not leave Lambertville for Easton until after to-morrow.— Trenton Amer ican, Nov. 25. Lai Rubber Profits.—ft is said that the first cost to manufacture ladies' India Rubber shoes is about twenty two cents per pair; and the first cost of those for men's wear is from 33 to 38 cents per pair. As these shoes retail from 88 cents to tt; 38 per pair, it will be un , deretood that the India rubber dealers make lots of money. The process by which these shoes are made has thus far been kept a se cret. The profits on this business will reach almost two millions of dollars in the year, and the present manufacturers can scarcely supply. One girl can make some twenty pair in a day, for which she receives two or three cents a pair. • Commerce of the United State.—The Journal of Cominerce reports, from information derived from a reliable source that the imports into the United States for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1851 were $210,000,000, and the exports from the county for the lame period were $188,000,000 —showing an excess of imports over exports of $22,000,000. The exports, as stated, we pre. sumo include those of specie, of which, from the port of New York alone, more than thirty•five millions have gone forward since January last to this date. The Chinese in California.—The correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from San Francisco. Cal., says that the Chinese are destin• ed to exert an important influence in that coon. try. From the last six months they have sup, plied a larger number of immigrants than any other country. When they arrive they mnsily equip themselves for mining and set out in search of gold. They seldom leave the country, hut ap pear to come with intention ,of locating them_ selves permanently. You can ; scarcely look in.. to the streets now without seeing a troop of Ct. lestiale, and on every side you may see signs, bearing such names aai# , Ton.

Being "Froze for Money."—To put $5OO at in terest, have yourself packed in ice, and stay fro. zen, with suspended life, till it amounts to a for tune, seems now becoming a possible resource. The scientific men of France are, at present, speculating on a recent instance of n young man brought to life after being frozen up, eleven months, on the Alps. 'lt has given rise to a re. vived belief m the theory that life can be sus. pended at pleasure, and criminals are about to be demanded of the Government, to be frozen on experiment. The reader will already have in. (*erred what a relief this offers to such unhappy ladies as find themslves not cotemporary with the hearts they sigh to wla. They have only to be iced till overtaken ! We should add that the above is by no means a joke, however. The blood of a living man was infused into the veins of the froien youth, and be moved and spoke.— The experiment was afterwards tried on a hare frozen for the purpose...tad with complete sac. tear. Alabotna.—The Montgomery (Ma.) Adverti; see and Gazette of the 21st has a call address ed "to the Democracy of Alabama" to meet in State Convention at Montgomery on the Bth of January to appoint Delegates to Baltimore.— The signers are all favorable to Buchanan's no mination, we should judge, and call the embra ces such names as William iL King, B. pita. patrick, /aka Erwia sad Glitberall. Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad. The work upon the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad is progressing with great en ergy. The entire line between Pittsburg and Massillon, 107 miles, is graded ; 40 miles of it is in operation and the rails are being laid on the rest—all of which will be completed in January. To Alliance the'road will be opened next month, which completes a railroad communication be. tween Pittsburg and Cleveland. • The grading between Masillion and Wooster is completed, except four sections. In January next there will be a railway communication between New York and Cincinnati, via Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cleveland, &c., for the entire distance, except some forty•tive miles next east of the city of Pittsburg. Twenty.eight miles more of this road are to be opened this week for travel, about fourteen miles between Brighton and Enon Valley, and about the same distance between Salem and Alliance. Stages will be run between Loon Valley and Sa. km. It is reported that passengers will be car ried through to Cleveland, by this route, in less than 12 hours. Dernooratio Caucus. AIIiIINOTON, Nov. 29, 1851 The Caucus of the Democratic members to nominate candidates for the House of Represen• tatives of the Thirtysecond Conn 'hich as. sembles on Monday next, met this evening, at 7 o'clock. About ninety members were present. The Hon. Wm. A. Richardson, of Illinois, was chosen as chairman, and the Hon. Richard Stanton, of ,Kentucky, and Willard P. Hall, of Missouri, Secretaries. A resolution was offered declaring that the Compromise Measures of the last Congress were a finality, and a settlement of the vexed question for ever, which was, on motion of D. K. Carter, of Ohio, laid on the table by a two_third vote.— Upon the announcement of this result, many of the Southern members withdrew from the Cau , cos, and before the balloting for officers had been completed, there was • not a quorum present.— The ballotings were, however, proceeded with, and the following gentlemen were then nomina. ted Speaker—Hon. Linn Boyd, of Kentucky. Clerk—JOhn W. Forney, of Pennsylvania. Sergeant•at•Arms—Adam J. Glassbrenner, of Pennsylvania. Postmaster of the House—Mr. Johnson, of Door•Kerper—Mr. McKnew, of the D. C Messrs. Glassbrenner and Johnson are at pre sent officers of the House. Rapid Increase.—Mrs. Flury, f Wrightsville, York county, presented her husband with three hnuncing infants nn last Thursday night, two girls and one boy, and all doing well. That seems rather more like multiplication than ad. dition. It is not long since the lady, on the last occasion of the kind, added twins to the family, around whose board twelve olive plants are now growing, and the parents are yet comparatively young. If this be the Wrightsville fashion, it is no wonder that she doubled her population in 'the last ten years. Merited Compliment.—The members of the Bar of Northampton county held a meeting in the Court House, at Easton, on Tuesday the 18th instant., and passed a preamble and series of resolutions complimenting Hon. J. Pringle Jones, for the able manner in which he has discharged the duties of his judicial office in that county.— Arrangements were made at the same time, for a public supper, in honor of Judge Janes and his associates, which came oft in- Easton on ,Wednesday evening last. Judge Jones enters upon his duties as President Judge of the Barks district on the first of December. and will take his seat on the llench,,ayhe January Court. MZIOSNI Death of Julio Itittei..—We learn from the Reading Advocate, that the Hon. John Ritter died on Monday last, in that city; the cause of his death being a stroke of apoplexy, from which he had been suffering since the beginning of October. Mr. Ritter's name is so interwoven with the history of Berks county, that to mention the one is to bring to mind the other. He held several responsible offices delegated to him by the people; was a member of the Convention which framed the present Constitution of our State, and a member of Congress for two terms. He was one of the founders of the ..Readinger Adler," of which he was for a long time the sole proprietor. Dn Indians Swear;'—This is a curious rocs tion, and the answer by Mr. &Imo!craft should put the whiteman to the blush. .This gentleman who has for many years closely studied the char. acteristics of the race, says: "Many things the Indians may be accused of, bin of the practice of swearing they cannot. I have made many inquiries into the stale of their vocabulary, and do not as yet find any word which is more bitter or reproachful than matehi• annenwash, which indicates simply bad dog.— Many of their nouns have, however, adjective in flections, by which they are rendered derogative. They have terms to indicate cheat, liar, thief, murderer, coward, fool, lazy man, drunkard, babbler. But I have never heard of an impre cation or oath. The genius of the,language does not seem to favor the formation of terms to be used in oaths or for purposes of profanity. It is the result of the observation of others, as well as that of my own, to say that an Indian cannot curse." Slate Fair.—The Harrisburg Telegraph states that the receipts of the late State Fair were about s 4 ,soo—which in addition to the annual appro priation from the State of $2OOO, and the sub. scriptions by_ the citizens of Harrisburg; will pat the Society in possession of some $B,lOO. Out of this sum the premiums arc to be paid, but still a considerable surplus will be lefr. r- _.'roduce ot Me West.—The Detroit Tribune esti. timates that at least seven million dollars worth of produce will remain in Michigan at the close of navigation, as a consequence of ,the present low price of produce. From This it is presam• ed that the farmers of Michigan are anticipating higher prices. for their produce in the spring, an opinion that it is probably generally prevalat at the West.

Thomas J. Ilurrowes, Esq., of Lancaster, for several years the head of the School System in this State. during Gov. Ritner's administration, delivered au address before the Lancaster Coun. ty Educational Convention on the 4th instant, which, having since been published, exhibits, among other matters of interest the magnitude ' of the Common School System of this Stale, which is highly creditable to the character of tke Commonwealth, and shows the deep interest Is. ken in this State in the cause of general educa tion. In the seventeen years that the system has been in operation, the people of Pennsylvania have expended over fifteen millions of dollars in support of this noble effort. exclusive of the large sums annually paid to sustain the numerous pri vate academies, semenaries and schools, which are also giving their invaluable aid to the cause of general education. The number of schools in the State has increased from 762 to 9206, and the teachers from 808 to 11,600. The pupils number half a million, and the annual cost of system is now $1,409,000. Cal.firnia.—The California Trade has de. creased in the last ten months five hundred and forty, six vessels. At present there are but elev. en vessels loading for California at the ports or Boston and New York, whilst at this time last. year there were forty vessels loading at the same pons; besides seven at Baltimore, six at Phila delphia, and one at New Orleans. Smoking. Hama,—Make, in the first place, a pickel of two quarts of salt, to which add one ounce of summer savory, one ounce of sweet majoram, one ounce of allspice, half an ounce of saltpetre, and one pound of brown sugar; boil the whole together over a clear and brisk fire. and apply the mixture boiling hot, .to one hum. dred pounds of ham. It should remain in the pickel three weeks. In smoking hams, take a common hogshead. with one held out. Torn it with the open end down, and make a hole in the uppar end for the escape of the smoke, and hang the hgnas to the head. The fire should be fed with sawdust fro% the mahogany workers, and should be kept up one week. If mahogany ehips or sawNitist can not be obtained, corn cobs may be used as a sub stitute. A Grand Discovery. --Alexander von Hum• bold, publishes in the “Gazette de Spener," some particulars ',this interesting discovery at Athens. 1 of the Council chamber where the Fire Hundred held their deliberations. At a depth of one foot below the surface, he had come upon a large mass of inscriptions, columns. statues, etc.. which forbid a doubt that there had been the.. seat of that building. The explorations have not gone on as rapidly as they might, on account of the 'expense. There is little doubt, however, that the discovery is of extraordinary import. ance. • Read Out.—The Post 'says Mr. Rantoul, hay. ing formally renounced the principles of the Bal. timore platform, and joined the Free Soil party in renouncing them, cannot be recognized as a delegate to a National Convention of National Democrats. Where then will the Massachusetts , Democracy find a delegate? Every member of the party has joined the Free Sailers, and there • is not a Simon Pure left for seed! Female Odd Fellow{—Daughters of Rebecca.— Grand Representative Colfax, of South Rand, conferred the new degree of 'the Daughters of Rebecca on a number of ladies in this place,in the Lodge Room, on Wednesday last. Mr. CO: fax, as representative to the Grand Lodge of the- United States, having received a copy, is ena.- bled to confer this degree. The new degree' as we have already stated, was prepared ands submitted to the Grand Lodge of Mr. Colfax. This degree is a most beautiful and chute:' production, and the appropriate, clear and . e/O-'• quent style which characterised Mr. Colfax.'er delivery of the charges, lectures, &c., conpvel-' ed with it, added much to its effect. It is trni a noble production, and one which, by making the ladies acquainted with the quo nature mod design of Odd Fellowship ind extending to them'. its advantages by enabling them to recognise, them to recognise Odd. Fellows and make them selves known when needing any assistance, will' do much toward dispelling the prejudice which• exists with some against the institution.
