PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY HAINES & DIEFENDERFER ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS PER ANNUM. 311igullantouri. Visit to a Chicago Beef Packing House. At the close of the month of September, when the cooler days are ushered in, the drovers be gin to assemble together their fatted herds, and the roads leading to Chicago are suddenly alive with bellowing droves. We will select one from the many that we see in tardy move t around us, and watch its progress through various stages until it is rolled on to the transformed into " Extra Mess Beef"— Imre alighted, then, upon a drove of some 300 head, raised we Ni•ill suppose, in La Salle County, Illinois, and contracted, sonic time past, at the rate of five dollars per hundred weight for the beef—the offal being given in.— The establishment we will describe is that of the Messrs. Bough. By much whooping and chasing, the mounted drovers have brought the bewildered herd to the strong brick wall that incloges the yard ; the wide gate is swung open, the cattle thrust in, and there suffered to remain a while to collect their wandering senses. The following morning their slaughter corn tnences. Half a dozen noisy fellows, with poles in their hands, present themselves in the yard, and, detaching about fifty from the herd, drive them into a closer yard. This is a narrow en closure separated from the main yard by•agate, and communicating by means of sliding doors with four close pens, where the animals are ul timately roped for the slaughter. Having driv en their cattle into the snialler yard, the men continue their pursuit, and further detail four or five Of the brutes into each of the four close pens. A door is now withdrawn from within, a powerful negro presents himself, and lassoes one of the cattle ; two men then I.aul upon the windlass, and in spite of the most violent and desperate antics, the struggling wretch is drawn up to the bull ring." There is some peculiar dread communicated from this negro to the cattle which renders the' dan,..;erous pro cess" of roping a ivork of comparative ease to him. But, at the other extreme pen, four white men arc attempting the same task, and it is absClntely unsafe for them to show them selves within reach of the animal's horns. The axe is applied, and the animal is blooded. To each pen there is a bed, as it is called--that is a place to dress the bullock, and one is now ly ing prostrate upon each of the four beds. Now the butchers take the cattle in haml for these we have been witnessing at work are only laborers. These butchers are a select corps—each an Addles in his peaceful way.— Accustomed to this wholesale mode of slaugh ter, where lime is economized to the utmost, they have acquired a dexterity and a breadth of cut that would astonish sonic of our New York Fulton Market worthies. The cattle are poised on their backs, (pritcht'd is the technical term) and three butchers fall to work upOn each. One man flays the head and decapitates the animal, and one strips each side ; the haunches are then cut asunder, and the bul lock is raised to his " first hoist." It is a treat to see these fellows work. They are great bragadocias, and numerous pints of whiskey are pending between the rival bands upon the number of cattle each can respectively cut up. Their work is of a repulsive character, but they evidently like it, and Providence has wisely de signed that whatever his occupation, a man shall find a pleasure in it. They are working against time ; very little talk is indulged in, and the fast workmen keep the less skillful travelling in order to maintain pace with them. There is no drinking except of beer—and then at a clandestine hour, when the master's eye is turned—and the work goes on with excellent decorum. The first hoist is worked off', and the animal is ngain raised until he is landed upon the balks. These are two parallel beamS with pol ished surflices, running longitudinally through the building. Two laborers swing the suspend ed carcass back out of the way of the beds, and the butchers follow it up to finish dressing it, while the negro and his white satellites prepare another bullazk for each vacant bed. This pro • cess is repeated until the day's work is achiev ed, and one hundred and fifty carcasses are sus pended by their heels to stiffen until the follow ing morning. The next stage is the cutting room, which is on a level with the slaughter-house, and only separated from it, by the forest of the sides of beef which intervene. Here the beef is weigh ed, cut, cured and barreled: Immense vats are sunk on each side the building, each capable of holding twenty carcasses of beef ; and the pumps and machinery for the supply and with drawal of the brine are fitted up underneath the building. 'When the day's . work begins, a force of men armed with knife and saw, make an attack upon the stiffened beef and reduce it into quarters as rapidly as they can . ply their instruments. When cut down each carcass is weighed—the owner being generally present— and the beef js deposited upon two immense racks. The demolition of the quarters then'be MB Allentown, Pa., January 30, 1856. gins. There are two qualities of mess beef-- the extra and the prime. Tho extra is com posed of the select cattle—the heaviest and the choicest—and is reduced to component pieces with the knife and saw. It is packed in tier ces containing 304 lbs. having 38 pieces of 8 lbs. each to the tierce. This is chiefly packed for the East India market, and particular care is bestowed upon the preservation of it. The second quality—consisting of the' Prime Mess' --is made generally from a less choice quality, and is cut into pieces of no precise weight with a heavy cleaver. This beef is packed into bar rels containing 200 lbs. the pieces not being enumerated, and is principally disposed of fur the supply ofinerchant vessels. As the cutters reduce the beef to pieces, porters are employed in removing it to the vats, where it is allowed to purify itself by a stay of one or more days in brine. When ready for the packer it is with drawn from the vat and again removed in bar rows, to the scale. here it is weighed oft' in drafts, and stowed compactly in barrels, a lay er of dry salt is then spread over the head, and the barrel is taken hold of by the cooper and in a few moments headed up. A removal to the brine-yard, \Acre dip interstices of the con tents are filled in with brine, and the barrel is finally rolled on the dock, where it is ready for transportation. COLD FEET COLD Feir arc the avenues to death of mul titudes every year ; it is a sign of imperfect circulation, of want of vigor of constitution.— No one can be well whose feet are habitually cold. When the Wood is equally distributed to every part of the body, there is general good health. If there be less blood at any one point than is natural, there is coldness ; and not only so, there must be more than is natural at some other part of the system, and there is fever, that is, unnatural heat or oppression. In the case of cold feet, the amount of blood wanting there, collects at some other part of the body which happens to be the weakest, to be the least able to throw up a barricade against the in rushing enemy.—Hence, when the lungs arc weakest, the extra blood gathers there in the shape of a common cold, or spitting blood. Clergyinen, other public speakers, and singers, by improper exposures often render the throat the weakest part ; to such, cold feet gives hoarseness or a raw burning feeling, most felt at the little hollow at the bottom of the neck.— To others, again, whose bowels are weak through over eating, or drinking spirituous liquors, cold feet give various degrees of de rangement, from common looseness up to diarr lions or dysen try ; and so we might go through the whole be ly, but for illustration. If you are well, lel yourself alone. This is, our favorite motto. But to those whose feet I are inclined to be cold we suggest. As soon As you get up in the morning put both feet at once in a basin of cold water, so as to come half way to the ankles ; keep them in half a minute in winter, a minute or two in summer, rubbing them both vigorously, wipe dry, and hold to the fire, if convenient, in cold weather, until every part of the foot feels as dry as your hand, then put on your socks or stockings. On going to bed at night, draw off your stockings and hold the feet to the fire for ten or 'fifteen minutes until perfectly dry, and get right into bed. This is a most pleasant oper ation, and fully repays for the trouble of it. Ico one can sleep well, or refreshingly with cold feet. All Indians and hunters sker with their feet to the fire. Never step from your bed with the naked feet on an uncarpeted floor. I have known it -to be the exciting cause of months of illness. Wear .woolen, cotton or silk stockings. whichever keeps your feet most comfortable ; do not let the experience of another be your guide, for different persons require different articles; what is good for a person whose feet arc naturally damp, cannot be good for one Whose feet are always dry. The donkey who had his bag of salt lightened by swimming a river, advised Lis„ companion who was loaded down with a sack of wool to do the same, and having no more sense than a man or woman, he plunged and in a moment the wool ab- sorbed the water, increased the burden many fold, and bore him to the bottom. Weight of the unman Body. M. Chaussie dried a huMan body in an oven, the original weight of which was 120 lbs. ; when dry it was reduced to 12 lbs. Hence the solid matter of the body was water as one to nine, or one-tenth. • From this it will be seen how great a proportion the fluids of the body bear to the solids. WATER PROOF CLOTR.-A. saturated solution of water, sugar of lead, and alum, being pre pared, the cloth should be immersed in the fluid for a few hours.: on withdrawing it, and allow ing it to dry, it will be found impervious to rain. The cloth should afterwards be hot pressed. Interesting Sitat Utica.

Apples withent Seeds. A writer in the N. Y. Life Illustrated gives the process as follows : " Extraordinary as this may appear, it can be successfully done, and by a very simple pro cess—by merely reversing the usual growth in the tree, and causing the sap to flow in an opposite direction, and the limbs to grow where the roots usually do, and vice yew. In illus tration, I saw a few years since, in the Satur day Evening Post, an account where some mis chievous students at the country school, one day in a 'freak, dug up an old apple tree that did not bear, and planted it with the top in the ground, and the roots where that ought to be. To their surprise it to put out limbs from the roots, which bore apples without cores or seeds. Shottly afterwards I saw a letter in the ~ ione paper, from a gentleman in Ohio, who stated that he had several such trees in his orchard, and that his method of producing was to bury the ends of the limbs long enough to reach the ground in it, (or turn down the top of a scion,) let a scion or scions spring up frunvit, then cut away the limb, and take up and plant the scion afterwards. In this way he had produced them, and in this way they may be produced front any tree where the limbs can be made to reach the ground." I)runlc en:less. Watson, an old Puritan di'ine, thus wrote of this crying sin :—"fhere is no sin which doth more efface God's image than drunkenness. It disguised' a person, and (loth even unman him. Drunkenness is the shame of nature, the extinguisher of reason, the shipwreck of chas tity, and the murder of conscience., Drunken ness is hurtful 'to the body—the cup kills more than the cannon ; it caused' dropsies, catarrhs, apoplexies ; it fills the eyes- with fire, the legs with water, and turns the body into a hospital. But the greatest hurt it (loth is to the soul ; excess of wine breeds the worm of conscience. The drunkard is seldom reclaimed by repen tance ;,and the ground of it is partly because by this sin the senses arc so enchanted, the reason so impaired, and lust so inflamed ; and partly because the drunkard being So besotted by his . sin, God saith to him, as of Ephraim, he is joined to his cups, let him alone) let him drown himself in fire.' Coud Habits. . There were fuur habits a wise and good man earnestly recommended in his counsels and also by his own example, and: which he considered essentially necessary for the management 'of temporal concerns. •These are punctuality, ac curacy, steadiness, and dispatch. Without the first of these time is wasted ; without the sec ond mistakes the most hurtful to our own credit and interest and that of others may be commit ted ; without the fourth opportunities of great advantage arc lost which it is impossible to reach. Execution at Lafayette. The Lafayette Courier of Saturday, contains full particulars of the execution of Abram Rice, Timothy Driskill and David M. Stocking. - Rice and Driskill for the murder of Cephas Farenbaugb on the 24th of May, 1855, and Stocking for the murder of Juhn Rose, on the Sth of January, 1855. The details are the most sickening of the kind that we have ever had occasion -to read, and indicate a degree of depravity that we might suppose it impossible for a human being, created in the image of God, and endowed with intellect, to reach. They disregarded entirely the admonitions of the clergy who visited them, cat a hearty dinner an hour before they were executed, dressed themselves deliberately, con versed irreveiently with each other, as . well as with spectators, and even on the gallows, with the ropes around their necks, standing within a minute of eternity, they continued to mani fest utter indifference. They did noE deny that they were bad men, but protested their inno cence of the murders of which they were found guilty. Their conduct on the scaflbld is thus reliorted : The sheriff then proceeded to adjust the fatal ropes. Rice requested that a stoul which had been placed for his accomtnodation on the scaf fold might be removed, and on his request not being immediately complied with, he removed it himself. He then knelt down, inclined his head forward, remarking that he had " seen men hung," by which we understood that he regarded that as the , proper position. Driskill on observing it said, " Abe, are you going to kneel "" Rice answered " yes." He then turned to Stocking and said " Stock, which way is the easiest way to die—kneel or stand ? I want to die the easiest way." Stocking replied that he should stand unless lie tho't there was danger of the rope breaking. The sheriff assured him there was no danger. Ile therefore stood up, but Driskill Llineeled.— The caps were then drawn over their faces, and at twenty.two and a-half minutes after'_' o'clock the bolt was withdrawn. and the culprits launched into eternity ! None of them gave evidence of protracted suffering. A slight spasmodic action was observed in Rice for a minute or two, but, as far as we could see, ncif.her Stocking or Driskill moved. The neck of both were evidently broken. After hanging for twenty minutes the physi cians present examined them and pronounced thorn dead ; the bodies vere then taken down and placed in coffins, and Rice and Driskill de livered to their friends. Stocking was buried at the expense of the county. Rive was 27 years of age, and was bor Corydon. in this State. He was a limier by trade. Driskill was a native .of Harrisburg, Pa.., and had just entered his 23d year. Stock ing was born in New York, and was 30 years old. They were very bad men, and undoubt edly deserved to die. A Creat Country. An innocent and pure minded Jonathan, in a warm argument with a John Bull, on our national institutions, yas endeavoring to floor his antagonist, who had sneeringly remarked that " fortunately tho Americans couldn't go fartherwestward than the pacificshore." Yan kee searched his pregnant brain for an instant, and triumphantly replied—" Why good gra cious, they're already leveling the Rocky Moun. tains, and carting the dirt out West.

FRESiIINGI.I" COOL—A conductor on a New Englandroad wasscnt for by the President of the road one day, and rather summarily informed that after that week the company would not require his services. He asked who was to be his successor, and the name was given him. Ile then asked why, he was to be removed. After pressing the question some time, and failing to obtain a satisfactory explanation, a little light dawned upon him, and he addressed his superior AIN. nearly as follows : " You are about making •a great mistake. You know, Sir, I have a nice house, a fast horse, a splendid gold watch, and an elegant diamond ring. That fellow you have chosen to take my place has got to get all these things." It is said the argument was conclusive, and the conductor was allowed to retain his position. STATISTICS 01 CINCINNATI.-TIIC city of Ciu• cinnati is a prosperous place, as - the annual statement of its trade and commerce shows. The annual value of its manufactures is $52- 100,374. Its imports annually are valued at $75,000,000, and its exports at $60,000,000. There arc 6,000 miles of-railway now diverg ing from the city, and 4,000 miles under con struction. • [l:7lte reason why man was made after everything else, was because if he had been created first, lie would have annoyed the Al mighty by endless suggestions of improvement, NUMBER Composition and Value of Salt. Although salt forms part of the daily feo 1 of nearly the whole of the human race, yet few have any idea of its composition. Salt is a com pound of two substances, a metal and a gas ' eons body. The metal is called sodium, and the gas chlorine ; and as chemists always en deavor to use such terms as they think will convey a clear idea of the things they describe, salt in chemical language is termed " chloride of sodium." The sea which flows to every part of the earth n!thrds its inhabitants an in n exhaustible supply of salt ; and lest it might I be thought that nature had not in this respect been sufficiently bountiful, she supplies salt from the bowels of the earth. We have 'salt mines yielding " icek salt," and salt springs, which in many instances are faraway from the ocean. The salt mines in Spain, in Hungary; and Poland, arc of an enornuus extent. A salt I mine near Cracow, in Poland, has been worked for more than six hundred years. Within it is found a kind of subterraneous republic, which has it polity, laws, families, &c. When a traveller has arrived at the bottom of thi g strange abyss he is surprised at the long series ' of lofty vaults sustained with huge pillars of rock salt, and which appear by the light of the flambeaux to be so many crystals of precious . stones. T.lmionost remarkable property of salt is its solubility in water ; hence it is supposed . that the sea in washirig over beds or strata of salt has in consequedce become saline, as wo now find it. The use of salt with food is obvi ous from an analysis of the blood and the gas- - trie juice. With theaddition of water, and nit; der certain influences, salt changes its compo- - Isi lion. Water being composed of hydrogen and oxygen, the Charge, in salt which takes place by means of the vital force is shown as follows : —The sodium of the salt and the oxy gen of the water form soda for the blood—and . the chlorine of the salt which the hydrogen of the water produce hydrochloric acid' for the stomach. Now soda is invariably found in thei blood, and hydrochloric acid in the stomach ; and as the blood and the stomach play their part correctly enough in our daily life, we can come to no other conclusion than that salt which supplies these materials, is absolutely necessary to our well-being. Salt is not only useful to man in its primitiVe condition, but as it affords soda, its value is manifestly increased. The manufacture of soda from salt is ono of the most important of our arts, for without soda no hard soap could be produced ; and for a thousand other things are wo a debtor to salt and its ingredients, among which may be mentioned the bleaching of all our cloths in our immense - cotton' manufactories, which process' is performed by the use of chlorine.
