August, September, October, November, December, SOGEIDEODOEM:3Oe FOR3IATIOX OF CLOUDS AND Pons.—Clouds and fogs, as is generally known, are, simply speak ing, the same things, composed of the same elements, arising from the same causes, and subject to the slime laws ; the only real differ ence between them seems to be in position— clouds being in all cases more or less elevated above the earth, whilst fogs rest on its surface. Both are formed by ascending of the invisible vapors from the surface of the earth, and are composed of thin vesicles of water containing air, which rise readily, because, being lighter than air, they float in it, on the same princfpre that soap bubbles inflated with hydrogen gas would float. How these vesicles arc formed is not well understood, but the general opinion is that mists and fogs arise fram air of unequal temperatures, holding moisture in solution, 'mingling together. Dense mists often rise from the miring of the evening sea breeze with the air above. the land, because the air above, the sea is warmer than that above land, and consequantly when they mix the aqueous vapor condenses and forms fog.. The reason why these vapors in some cases produce clouds, and in others fog and mist, is that when the surface of the earth is warmer than the air, the vapor being chilled-by the cold air condenses at once and becomes fog but when the air is warmer than the earth, the vapor rises through it, until it reaches a colder current, when it forms a cloud. Tux BEARD.—Dr. SANBORN, of Andover, ably defends the beard in a late number of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. He takes the ground that the custom of shaving the beard is always attended or followed by a marked de terioration in the physical organization, not only of the existing race of people, but 0 . 1,,he race to come. He says that the aborWial inhabitants of our soil and climate were brave, powerful and numerous ; but they uproched the beard from their faces, and consequently grew more and more effeminate with every genera tion, until they became an easy prey to their curial* and are themselves'uprooted from the face of the earth. lle cites the Chinese as a people who have been shorn of their locks and their strength together, till as a nation they have only a mere nominal existence ; and he says of the Jews, whose creed is to preserve unmarred " the corner of their beards," that lie never saw a case of pauperism, premature physical debility, or premature disease among them.. The nobility of Spain adopted the habit of shaving through courtesy to their beardless prince. The mass were of course subjected to the humiliating process, but expressed their repugnance to the outage in the well known proverb—" Since we have lost our beards we have lost our souls," that is, ourselves, our 4dentity. We are rather soulless slaves than the men our Maker made and designed us to be, • LARG/11 EUROPE.AAT liLtus.—The American steamer, Pacific, which sailed from New York for 'verpeol on Wednesday, took out over 67,000 otters, being the largest mail ever taken by a 'steamer from that port. The Cunard steamer America, which arrived at Boston on Monday, brought, in addition to a cargo valued at two and a half millions of dollars, a mail consisting of sixty bags of newspapers for the United States and twenty-eight for Canada ; thirty-four bags of letters for the former, and ten for the litter.

Tim bark is stripped from the si tree, in pieces two inches iii,thiekness, of con e siderable length, and of such width as to retain Sthe curved form of the trunk. when it has been stripped. The bark pealer or:eutter, makes a fl slit in the bark with a . knife, perpendicularly 0 n from the top of the trunk to the bottom ; lie makes another incision parallel to it, and at B some distance from the former ; and two g shorter horizontal cuts at the top and' bottom. tti For stripping oftthcv piece thus isolated, he el uses a kind of knife with two handles, and a es curved blade. Sometimes after the cuts have been made, lie letiveS the tree to throw off the gbark by the spontaneous action of the vege tation within the trunk. The detached pieces are soaked in water, and are placed over a fito when nearly'llry ; they arc in fact, scorch ed a little on both sides, and acquire a some what more compaet texture by this scorching.— In order to get rid of the curvature, and bring them flat, they are.pressed down with weights while yet hot. 4 a II - - g. 5 EIII 8' 4 1011 17 18 24 25 31 5 0. 12 13 19 20 26 27 2 3 9 10 i l6 17 23 24 I 1 7 8 14 15 21 22 28 I 1 7 8 14 15 21 22 1 28 29 4 5 1 11 12 1 18 19 25 26 2 3 0:10 1 16117 12324 301 , 31 6 7 1 13114 20121 27 28 9 10 10 17 23 24 30 mm OE 9 10:102 16 17 18 1901 23 g» p 2 30 311 I I I 1: 2,9 41 5 6 7, 8 9 5 1.1.113 14,15 10 118 19'20 21;22 232 25,26 27 2 29 30 g 1.1 21 3, 4 5i 0 7 2 8 0110 11,12113 146 5 15 1 17 , 18 1 19,120 21 ,2 23,24 25126 27 28 Ei 29 30 31' I g I 1, :1 3 4 , 67 8 9110 11 c 9 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 0, 11» 20 21 22 23 24 25 m 28 29 30 31i rd 11 2 3 4 5 6 /\§§ 7 8 14 15 21122 28 29 ing to work.

After the punishMent, which was not a very severe one, he swore that sooner than work he would disable himself, and if that would not answer ho would cut his own throat.

The just propor tions arc one table spoonful of flour to each egg. To make small pan cakes, beat a couple of eggs thoroughly, and add sweet milk. Then take a couple of table spoonsful of flour, work into a Cia paste and ductile batter by adding the milk and eggs, and a little salt. Cr :ase the pan with a piece of sweet lard or buttter, and stir briskly to prevent adhering to the bottom. When the under side is k ufficiently browned turn it.— Leave the cakes folded with sugar or honey, and butter between the folds, or sugar alone. If this is found to be too solid, add more eggs, and use less flour. A slight sprinkle .of grated nutmeg will be an addition. Pnthosorur or DrsrErsta.—A recent medi cal writer thus dcscirbcs it:—.ls soon as fuod aches the stomach of a hungry healthy man, ff pours out a !Mid substance called gastric it be touched with any thing hard. This gas Inc dissolves the food from without inwards, as lumps of ice in a glass of water are melted from without inwards. If from any cause the food is not thus melted, or dissolved, this is indigestion or dyspepsia. Vinegar, in its action on food, is more nearly like the gastric juice than any other fluid known. Thus it is that a pickle or a little vinegar will " settle the stomach" when some, discomfort is experienced after eating. - ,„ PENNSYLVANIA COAL TRADE. During the week ending the 17th instant, the Reading Railroad brought down 12,824 tons of coal being the first week of the new fiscal year. For the fiscal year ending the 30th 9., it brought down 1,088,41 tons, which is an un precedented business, and that too at highei prices than in any previous year. The Schuyl kill company brought down only 10,375 tons last week. Trade on the Lehigh has ceased, after bringing down 179,432 more than last year. DAILY NEWSPAPERS IN LONDON AND NEW YORK.—The circulation of the London daily papers is about 70,000. Of these the TIMES sells L• 0,000. In New York, with about one fourth the population of London, the circulation of the .daily jourmxld is more than twice as large. Tho subscription price of tho leading London journal—the TlMES—owing 'to stamp duties, &c.,ris about $5O per annum ; whilst that of the leading -journals in our own• city is only $6 per annum. • FIRE IN NEW Yonx.—According to the annual report of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Depart ment of New York, there were, during the year 1855, three hundred and- eighty-five fires, in volving a loss on buildings of eight hundred twenty-seven thousand and twelve dollara; and two millions seventy-three thousand two hun dred and seventy-two dollars on wares.

It is estimated that saw dust can be purchased for five dollars par ton, and that the process through which it will go in the, production of paper will bring the price of the latter down at least twenty per cent. A HARD CEMENT FOlt Sattsts,--A very c..‘cel lentcement for seams in the roofs of houses, or for any other exposed places, is made W white lead, dry white sand, and as much 'oil k , will make it into the consistency of putty. This cement gets as luird as any stone in the course of a few weeks. The lead forms a kind , of flux with the sand. It is excellent for filling up 'cracks in exposed parts of brick. buildings; it is also a good cement for pointing up the base of chimneys, where they project through the roofs of shingled houses. FATTIMING FOWLS.—rowls or chickens may be fattened in four or five days by feeding them three times. daily with rice boiled in .milk, always fksh, as sourness prevents them from fattening. Give them clear water to drink. By this method the flesh is made particularly white.—Albany Register. SHEEP LOST. IN THE SNOW.-A letter from Onondaga county, New York, says that snow fell to thee - depth of four feet or thereatouts, week before last, and that in the town of De Witt, a flock of ninety sheep was snowed under.

To MAKE Lmiox Ditors.—G4ate three large lemons, with a large piece of Waf sugar ; then scrape the sugar into a plate, and add half a teaspoonful of flour ; mix well, and beat it into a light paste, with the white of an egg ; drop 'it upon a white paper, and put in a moderate oven, on a tin plate. A WICKED CITY.—The N. Orleans True Delta says : "We have an average, of one murder every eight hours." One thousand and ninety-five murders a year in a city of. 100,009 inhabitants is certainly a very large per cen- YANKEE INGENUITY.- A shoemaker in Con necticut bought some shoe pegs made of rotten wood. Not being able to use them, ho took his knife, and sharpened the other end of them, and sold them for oats. FOUNDER.—The seed otsun flowers arc one of the best remedies known for the cure offounder in horses. Immediately on discovering that your horse is foundered, mix about a pint of the whole seed with his food, and it will effect a lerfect curd. 7 - The first horned cattle brought to Amer ica, were imported by Columbus, in 1492. In 1750, the best diary farms in Rhode Island con tained upwards of 100 cows, and sold 13,000 pounds of cheese, besides butter, bullocks and calves. On one farm, 73 cows made 10,000 pounds of butter in five months. Two acres of gooPland sustained one cow. The present number of cattle in the United States may be es timated at 20,000,000.
