A Trotting Match came off ou the trial course of the Berks Co. Agricultuial Society, at Reading, last week. The Society oilbred a priniiium of $2O for the best Trotting Horse, Mare, or Gelding, in harness or otherwise, to competitors from Writs county only. The • bay stallion, " Bonaparte," owned by Town send Evans, made the best mile in 3 minutes• and 8 seconds, and took the premium. After the match was over, Mr. ROBERT Kru- WM of Allentown, appeared on the grounds, unannounced, with his Grey Mayand showed the Reading folks some fast trotting. He hed ber hitched to a light sulkoy, and malls the mile heat in 2.40, completely dis_tpreing all competitors.

Half the world, if it were aware of what the other half say and think about it, would.be ashamed to walk the streets in open day. Igen may flatter themselves as they Ilease, about the good opinion of others, but the best of them do not escape censurable criticism and contemptuous speech from many whom they call their best friends. All people's friends me composed of the same material, and human nature; like some of the !limbo idols, is apt to be double•faced. Politicians encounter more of these two sided humans than nlinost any elnss of the community. It is really "as tonishing, to FCC how poor devils in human shape will twist and turn, and lie and fawn, to get themselves into petty offices : and then, it is amazingl y diverting to see them turn around and defame the same individunls they fawned upon, and lei whose friendly influence they nre I indebted fur the bread and butter they cat in: indolence. Those arc weak and timid folks who complain that they have enemies. A man of. nerve and independence never fears enemies, I and would " spile" if he could not encounter' them. We glory in having a host of enemies, I for, in the language of a contemporary, we al ways feel abundantly able to " give them fits," if they tread on our corns. A man who hr.:; no enemies is a natur::l fool, and never has energy of character enough to engender any opposition. If all mankind were friends, lrusiness would stagnate, everything. would he dull and insipid. and people would become too I:17y to exist. The happiest moment in a man's life is when helms trimnphrd over opposition and a man nu " knows how much theris is in him till he has con ' fronted his bitter enemies. Depend upon it, a man that is COOd for anything in this world of selliAness, will always have enemies : but at 1 the same time, if he lives long enough, and sticks to truth and honor, Ile will eventually triumph over them all. • Inducing f c PricO of Maur The people East arc gettim: , their flour at a re duced price. by means of ussw iati,m.

We cheerfully push along the ball. We consider Mr. Struth ers as prompt, correct, and reliable a man as we have in the old'Keystone. In all business matters he appears to be guided by the maxim, " that what is worth doing at all is worth do ing well."

The Washington corres pondent Of the New York Courier says : We have nominally 1,400,000 square miles, that is some eight or ten hundred millions of acres: but perhaps five-sixths of the entire quantity is uninhabitable and valueless. Al i cady the government is unable to sniiply lands in Minnesota to actual settlers at the maximum prier of :?-1,25 per acre. We sold and gave away in 1453—'54, 23;000,000 of acres. We sold at a nominal sum during the past year 25,000,000 acres, and gave away to Statestmd huh v Vlnals property enough to make good the ettorthous quantity of 30,000,000 of acres. At this rate bow long will our two or three hundred millions of available public lands sup ply the demand for the purpose of settlement, to say nothing of exigencies of the Treasury in time of writ: or of financial distress. In Minne sota, which has 55,000 inhabitants, the lands to be 0414 ed this season have been reduced frowi four to one million of acres. The lands 'cannot be surveyed as fast Congress gives them away. This is said to be the cause of the re ductiort of the quantity in Minnesota. In Utah. already settled by some 30,000 Mormons, the baseline has just been established, and pen paps years must elapse before the government, so wholly absorbed is it in the work of gratuity, can furnish a legal title to the lands occupied by its citizens. • I:l•74leginning to look like sonathing.---Tho uew iiitkeran Church. Court Next IViea-4dd of Diary Schneider. The November term of our Court will com mence on Monday next. It will be a session Of unusual interest. Mary Schneider, who is now in our Jail on suspicion of having caused the death of her own child. tithei by poison or suf focation, kill receive her trial. So far no posi tive probf of her guilt bas been elicited, but the circumstantial evidence is of a strong nature.— She is known to be a NVomen of bad character, and sometimes treated the little girl with great cruelty. She told two different stories in. re gard to the time of the child's death. To the Jury she said she did not know when the child died, but found it dead wlen she woke up near noon ; and to Dr. Hillman she stated that it died between 0 and 10. o'clock. Wezhere give the testimony of Drs. Wilhelm, Milian and Willam T. Reepper, produced at the adjourned meeting of the Coroner's Jury-: At the adjourned meeting of the Coroner's Jury the following testitnony was produced : Dr. HiUnithz states that . some 3 or 4 weeks ago he was called to see the Accused. Found her on the bed coniplaining of pain in her bowels—saw a vial of laudanum on the bureau, which she said Dr.:Wilson gave her, but failed to give relief—left her a few powders and called again next day—when I gave her powders, I had sonic suspicio . n that she misrepresented the na ture of her complaint—when I called second time T asked her a number of questions with a view of finding out whether her complaint was not of a peculiar nature could get no satisfac tory answer and finally asked her directly, in plain wordhen Abe confessed it. I then gave her medicine to suit her case. I became sati,licd that she was a woman of bad char acter. Dr. Tioyqmin rc•rallcd.—Corobora 1A the statement of lb.. Hillman. I found the following, facts. Dr. Hillman having a sore hand, called on me to make the dissection of the body, which i did—first found the child on back in the bed—the right side of face a blue red, (lie left side not so much so-La white spot resembling wax on the left cheek, and so was the pose, and various parts of the body, found tvidence on the pillow that the child had been vomiting. We commenced the examination— found the abdomen materially enlarged—opened the breast and abdomen—Examining breast, nothing unusual wins noticed at first sight—pro ceeded to exaMine the organ--found both lungs overfilled with blood, front and bad: . side of lungs congested—the heart contained no blood, and sound —prricardium heallthy. Oth erwise noshing remarkable was found in the breast. The abdomen we found as follows : The peritoneum healthy—stomach outside in- Ilamed—poirrfas sound—bowels filled with gas, and had a blue color, but ' , nothing particu larly out of order—bladder filled with urine— liver, and kidneys perfectly sound-- stomach we lied and took home, also the lungs and (Mole)/ oni. These I opened in the presence of Mr. Doepper in his house—opened stomach first, it was in the evening by candle light— found the contents to be about one and a half table spoon full of matter nearly digested— omens membrane of the stomach was inflamed —had a number of inflamed spots varying in size from a three cent piece to a shilling and some larger—anew membrane injected with blood, the blood vessels being all full—the rsophopo: and the pyhwis were much inflamed, We put these parts into water to see whether these inflamed spots would not disappear—Dr. Hillman and myself made another minute ex amination to-day, and we found the same spots as they appeared the first day. These spots were doubtless caused by some poison in the stomach, very small quantities of metalic poison may create such spots, vegetable poison will do the same. It is highly probable that something calculated to destroy life had been in the stomach. Spots like those found in the fitie and exterior of the body are often produced by opium. Arsenic might produce spots from those found in the stptirl.t"—persons poi soned by opintv jab issue froth from the mouth _anus ii e The child may possibly have been strangled to death, which produces congestion of the lungs, but the stomach unquestionably had something in it that caused the inflamation, something poisonous and powerful. If the child's death was caused by strangulation, it would hardly be reasonable to suppose it could have been strangled merely by laying on its face as found, for it being 4 years old would pro bably= have been able to turn. When I . first saw the child, as found in bed, judging from its whole appearance, I believed it,was strangled to death. 1 know of no disease that would so suddenly produce such inflamation in the stomach and cause death in so short a time— could discover no opium or other poison in the stomach, though this I regard as no evidence that poison had not been there—it may have been absorbed with others matter and passed olf- -metallic poison would remain and be dis covered unless in vet:" small quantities. knew the child's mother about 2 years. Dr. Ihilinan,rc-called.--T. was called to the house of Mrs. Snyder about noon on the 17th, when death of child became known--found Mary Snyder sitting near the bed, asked her what was the matter. She said her child was dead--asked her at what time it :died, and she answered between 9 and 10 o'clock that morn ing. I then spoke a few words with her, look ed at the child and left : went to John Huth and told him to gn . for the Coroner. Went up home ; knoWing that a post mcirtem examina tion would have to be made, I called on Dr. Wil helm to assist, as I had a sore hand. Dr. W. and myself went down about three o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Borhek and myself went into the house ; were told that Mary was up Stairs—we. went up and found her lying down sound asleep. I shook her and woke her up ; she complained of headache, and said she had been sittings up till near twelve o'clock last night sewing. The vial of laudanum already spoke of, which I found on the bureau in Mary's room several weeks back, contained about half an would doubtless have been enough to destroy the child's life—to produce the.death of such a child might require a drachm of pure laudanum. Arsenic has a tendency to produce vacuation of the bowels. All things taken into considetation, I believe the inflamed spots in the stomach were produced by some vegetable poison, perhaps opium. Arsenic is more likely to rtmain in the stomach, and would be found in it in material quantities.; opium or laudanum kill become absorbed in other matter and pass off. I know of no disease that would produce such a death—saw nothing of the stool which the child's mother spoke of ns having passed from the child at midnight preceeding its death. • Roepper, qffirtned. 7 -Last Wednes day evening, Drs. Hillman and Wilhelm called on me and brought a child's stomach and some bowels, and requested to examine whether they contained poison. They opened stomach and emptied contents into a vial which I have at home. In the course of that night, the fol lowing day and yesterday, I examined the con tents of stomach, first for arsenic and lauda num or opium, as the; two poisons most likely to be used—did not succeed in finding either ; the contents of stomach were a mixture of sli my matter, and apparently, particles of diges ted apple—it was common contents of stomach. I do not consider my failure to discover poison, as conclusive that there had been none in the stomach--the gastric juice will digest, and may have decompsed vrArcitab/c poison, which may readily account for its absence when the tests were applied.

No important engagement has taken place between the contending partieS but evils of war are spreading over a more ex ended sphere. The fleets of the' Allies being liberated by the destruction of tate Russian ves sels at' Sebastopol, are cruising round seeking for an opportunity of burning and destroying the property of the enemy on land and sea. It is thought that Odessa, a large and important city, wilt be an early object of attack. Perekop has been threatened by the allied forces, but their' advance is checked for the present. A French.force is gathering on the Danube A fleet of the allied vessels is before Odessa, preparing to commence an immediate bombardment. Ten thousand men are employ ed in making a road from Balaklava to the al lied camp at Sebastopol. A British fleet has been sent to Naples. During 'the three weeks preceding the fall of Sebastopol, the Russian lOsses were over 32.000 men,. exclusive of deaths by disease. A battle has been fought in Asia by the Russians, under Mouravieff, and thc'Turks, under Ali Pasha, in which the latter . was himself taken prisoner, and had 300 men killed. It seems to have been a cavalry fight. Kars still held out, but the garrison was re duced to great extremity, and Omar Pasha was advancing from Batoum to attempt to raise the siege. At Sweaborg the Russians were actively repairing the fortifications. Nineteen Russian merchant vessels have been captured off the coast. of Finland, and ten more burned at the mouth cif the Sulis. An alliance bet wcen Prince Napoleon and the Princess Royal of Eng land is rumored. It is announced that the Danish government has invited all the maritime powers, including the 'United States, to meet in Congress at Copenhagen to settle the Sound Dues.

DISEASM AMONGST CATTLE.--Some time since, William Stavely, of Bucks county, bought a lot of young calves, some ninety in number, from Nev; .Jersey. Two or three weeks ago, a disease broke out amongst them, which carried off a number before the nature of it could .be discovered. Mr. Sinsely had sonic of them ex amined afler death, when the cause appeared to be a collection of small worms in the windpipe and lungs. In some of the cases, the lungs were very much diseased and hardened, making respiration almost impossible. It has been found that a dose of turpentine, about a table spoonful, adminis!ored as, soon as the decease appeared, is an elli2ctual remedy, affording al most-immedatc relief in the worst cases.

Without food, the body loses daily one fourteenth of its weight is summer, and onedwelfth in winter. If food is continuously withheld, a person ordinarily starves to death in fourteen days, when they have lost two fifths of their whole weight. From this it appears, that if life could be preserved, the whole mat ter of the system would be consumed in thirty days. It farther shows, that oxygen that consumes the carbon in food, and produces heat in the system, if unprovided with other carbon, will consume the body itself. MRS.

And yet most of these same dressy dames pay for their keeping, and many a poor fellow, who, if a bachelor, would go in , a threadbare suit,. sports broad-cloth and fine linen, because he is in partnership with one of them. SALT YOUR CRUD:M.—In building a chim ney put a quantity of salt in the mortar with , which the inner course of bricks arc to be laid.- The effect will be that there never will be any accumulation of soot in the chimney. This philosophy is thus stated ; the salt in the por tion of mortar which is exposed, absorbs mois ture every damp day. The soot thus becom ing damp, falls down to the fireplace. This appears to be an English discovery. It is used with success in Canada. LAttnnAntE.--The Albany Argus tells a sto.. ry of a * man buying oats, a few days since, who gave a fifty dollar bill in mistake for a five. On discovering the blunder, and' hastening to have it rectified, ho found the re cipient of it deliberately rubbing out the cipher on the bill in order to make his cash account square with his funds. An exchange of • a "five" for a " fifty" saved the latter from Air ther defacement, and fully satisfied both par ties.
