DrsTmoTixo Geah Ixkects. A correspond
ent of the American Farmers' Magazine as
serts that the weevil, midge, Hessian fly and
rniit may ho exterminated from wheat by pre
paring it for sowing, as follows: Wash the
wheat thoroaghly in several waters in a tub,
stirring it well until the water runs off clear.
After this take two quarts of caustic lime to
every bushel of grain, and mix it well with the
wet whoat in the tub. The amonnt of water
in the tub should just cover the grain, which
must be left to soak for twelve hours. This
lime lye kills all the seeds of the insects, and
the wheat is then rendered fit for sowing by
turning it over among dry wood ashes on the
barn floor, and using a pound of the flour of
sulphur to each bushel. It is stated that the
sulphur protects the grain from the attacks of
vermin, while the alkali dissolves the insect
ova in the seed. Wheat thus prepared has
yielded large crops in 2.ew England. We
lave seen this grain prepared for sowing bv
ranous modes, such as salt brine, lime and
ashes, but we like the above method better
than any hitherto known to us. Farmers resi
ding in sections subject to the attacks of the
Hessian fly, who do not sow fall wheat until
October, should give this method of preparing
it a trial. It cannot injure the grain, and we
oeueve it will be the means of greatly bene
fitting it.
Ix the Clocds. A few days since, at the
holding of the Illinois State Fair at Centralia,
two children brother and sister were cai
Tied t the clouds in a balloon, by the acciden
tal giving way of the fastenings. The chil
dren were thought to bo lost, bnt the balloon
descended about seventeen miles from the
place of starting, at daylight next morning,
ana caugnt on a tree adjoining a farm house
The farmer happened to be up at the time,
looking at the comet, when an immense spec-
ire rose on tne tree Deiore him. Un tnnroach
ing it, a weak ana piteous voice called to him,
"Come and let ns down, we are almost froTe."
Immediately comprehending the nature of the
ease, he got an axe, cut away some limbs, and
drew the car to the ground. The iittle boy
was first lifted out, when he ran away several
yards and contemplated the balloon with in
tense astonishment. The little girl told their
aorrewg and adventures with an almost broken
heart. She said that her brother soon cried
iimself to sleep, and she cried until she slept
a little, and then awakened in the tree. On
the children being brought to Centralia. a gen
eral jubilee, with firing of cannon, spoke tho
joy 01 tne people, and the photograph of the
voyagers were taken, and many presents made
mem.
At a license suit recently tried in Cincinna
ti, a witness was called who did not taste the
Bqnor, but testified positively that it was whis
ky he saw sold and drank, for he could tell it
a mile off. The council for defence asked him
if he drank any of it. "Drank any of it ? he
answered, "why, no, don't you sec I'm alive T"
"My son," said Spriggles, Sr., to Spriggles,
Jr., thinking to enlighten the boy on the pro
pagation of the hen species, "nij- son, do you
know that chickens come out of eggs ?"
"Do they," said Spriggles, Jr., as he licked
Siiprate "I thought eggs come out of chick
na V
"Will you have the kindness to hand me the
butter before you 1" said a gentlcaia polite
ly to an ancient amiden.
"I am no waiter, sir."
'Well, I think you have been waiting a long
time." b
The California State election resulted in the
success of the Administration Democratic
ticket by six to ten thousand majority. The
Legislature will be largely Democratic.

A CARD FKO.H DR. JAMES M. JAR
RETT, OF THE NEW-YORK LUNG IN
FIRMARY". My connection for the past eight
years with the above Institution, as Chief Physi
cian, and a twelve years' courseof steady devotion
to the Cure.'of Pulmonary Consumption and its
kindred diseases, together with my unrivalici op
portunities and advantage of pathological research
aided not a little by a perfect system of Medical
Inhalation has enabled me to arrive at a deci
sive, direct, and succes-sful course of treatment for
the positive and radical cure of all diseases of the
Throat, Lrtnsr. an J Air-passage. Ey Inhalation,
the vapor and curative properties of medicines are
directly addressed to the diseased organsof the in
tegument. I do not advise the use of McdSfal In
halation of any kind, to the exclusion of ;-iirat
treatment ; and although I consider it a useful ad
juvant in the proper management of those fearful
and often fatal diseas.'S, yet I deem it very neces
sary that each patient should have the benefit of
boih general an I local treatment. The success of
my treatment in the above diseases, and the high
character of the Institution over which I have so
long had the honor to preside, are too well known
to need any eulogy or comment from me. At the
solicitation of many private and professional
friends, through whose philanthropic aid the above
charity has been long and liberally supportcd..and
after due consideration, 1 have concluded to make
such arrangements as will bring the benefitsof my
experien and treatment within the reach of all,
and not confine myselCas heretofore, to those on
ly who entered the Infirmary, or who were able to
visit mo at my office. Hoping therefore that the
arrangement will give entire satisfaction, both to
my professional brethren and the public, I would
respectfully annonnce in conclusion, that 1 can
now Le consulted jier.ionally or ly litter, on all dis
eases as above, and that the medicines, the same as
used in the Institution, prepared to suit each in
dividual case. IithaJiiis I a port. Medical Inha
lers, tfc, tyc . will be forwarded by express to any
part of the United States or the Canadas. Terms
My terms of treatment by letter are as follows,
viz : S12 per month for each patient, which will
include medicine sufficient for one month's use;
also. Inhaling Vapor, and an Ichaliug .Apparatus.
Payment as follows: 5t to be paid to Express A
gent on receipt of the box of Medicine, and the
balance So at the expiration of the month, if the
patient be cured or is entirely satisfied with the
treatment. Patients, by giving a full history of
their case, and tbeir symptoms in full, can be treat
ed as well by letter as by personal examination.
Patients availing themselves of Dr. Jarrett's treat
ment may rely upon immediate and permanent
relief, as he seldom has to treat a case over thirty
days. Letters for advice promptly answered. For

THE GREATEST BIOGRAPHY OF
THE AGE. NOW READY: THE
LIFE OF THOMAS JEFFERSON, lv Hen.
ry S. Randall, LL.. D.Ia 3 volu m-cs. octavo.
This work contains upwards of 2.000 pages, is prin
ted on fine paper, and handsomely bound iu va
rious styles. It is illustrated by several engrav
ings on steel, and numerous far $i mites; among
the former are two fine portraits of Jeffrrson. The
fac simile embrace, among others, the original
draft of the Declaration of Independence, in Jef
ferson's own hand-writing.
This is, in every sense, an authorized fori ; it
was undertaken under the approbation of bis fam
ily, and with an unreserved access to all the pri
vate papers of Jefferson in their possession; and
has received the benefit of their recollections and
opinions at every step.
The work contains the expressions of Jijfcron
on every great public question which aroe. from
his advent to public life to bis death a period of
about sixty years, and embracing the whole foriu
? period of the Republic. It contains Jeffer
son's heretofore unpublished family correspon
dence; selections from his finest published letters,
state papers, etc.. etc , etc.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
'No other Life of Jefferson ever published
probably none that ever trill be published can
bear any comparison to this in thorougness, full
ness of incident and conscientious fidelity
This biography has evidently been a labor of love,
and the years of patient, assiduous toil it has cost'
have been given with ungrudging, untiring enthu
siasm." New-Tori Tribune.
'At length the public have a Life of Thomas Jef
ferson that is not only fascinating, and therefore
sure to be popular, bu' one that will stand the es
sential historic test that of accuracy and truth
fulness. It is seen that the ground-work of the
whole is authentic cotemporary material, and of
the highest order. To gather it has been the work
of years. We would not compare thi3 volume with
that inimitable and incomparable biographvof
Borwell, and yet so faithful is the portraiture that
Jefferson is made to draw of himself, that his na
ture, his very soul, is deliniated with a distinct
ness not unlike that in which Johnson stands out
in the pages of Boswcll.'" Boston Post.
"Imbued with that enthusiastic admiration of
his subject, without which a biographer is rarely
successful, Mr. Randall nevertheless does not seek
to hide whatever faults he may find, either from
himself or from the reader. He prints the picture
as Cromwell insisted his should be painted, '-warts
and all." The picture gains by this in life-like
coloring, without losing any of its uiajestic propor
tions." Albany Evening Journal.
'-No one who runs his eye, however casually, o
Ter this work, will fail to be satisfied that Mr. Ran
dall has added very largely to the stock of the
world's information about Jefferson, that he has
bad access to sources hitherto unexplored, and that
he has done more than was ever done ty any one
before him to illustrate the personality of that
great statesman." iV. Y. Evening Post
'-We hare read with delight Mr. Randall's cap
tivating details of Mr. Jefferson's personal history,
which he has seduously gathered, and admirably
grouped together, from a great variety of authen
tic sources, hitherto unexplored. Out of tho tempt
ing richness of his materials,' the able and clear
sighted author has constructed a book, at ouce uio?t
entertaining and instructive one that should be
studied by every patriot of the land.!' Rich
mond, Vo., Ewuirer.
There can be only one opinion as to the abili
ty, general impartiality and industry which Mr.
Randall has brought into combination in the com
position of this biography . He has
worthily executed a much wanted book.'1 Phil-
a-delvnia Press.

yearly instalments, within a term of fourVears,
with interest. The terms arc mado easy, in'ordcr
to insure the rapid improvement of the land, by
enabling every indntrions man to bun a farm.' It
is now being extensively improved by good roads,
and some of the best citizens from New England
and the Middle States arc erecting largo improve
ments. It is a scene of the greatest improvement
out of Philadelphia Seventy-five houses hare
been built in 4 months. Practical farmers and bu
siness men from the length and breadth of the U
nioo are settling there. It is an important busi
ness place, on account of its being in the midst of
a great market. Every article raised on this land
finds an immediate sale. The water is excellent,
and no such thing as fever is known. The soil is
a sandy or clay loam, with a clav bottom and re
tentive of manures. It is free of stones and easily
worked. It abounds largely in tho phosphates,
and such is its fertility that from the crops pro
duced both upon this land and the area adjoin
ing under cultivation, it will be found not to be
excelled anwhere in the production of crops most
adapted to its market The reader may be well
awnre that the earliest and the best fruits and veg
etables come from New Jersey, which are annual
ly exported to the amount of millions of dollars.
The land, besides being accessible in every way
for fertilizers, has an abundant supply of the best
quality of muck mannro.
Lumber and building materials can be had on
the spot at a cheap price, from the mills. Other
mills are now being opened, and brickyards being
started oh the ground. A person can put up a
frame tenement for present convenience for one
hundred dollars. On account of the extensive em
igration, this is the best course to pursue in order
to get a place to live in at first. Carpentersand buil
ders are on hand to put up houses on the best terms.
In settling here the emigrant has many advan
tages. He is within afew hours' ride of the great
cities in the Middle States and New England ; he
is near his old friends aud associations; he is in a
settled country, whore every improvement and
comfort of civilization is at hand ; he is in a heal
thy place, and is not subject to the certainty of
losing the greater part cf bis family and his own
health by those malignant fevers which make the
grave of so many millions of the young and har
dy in far off regions away from home aud friends.
Besides. be has a mild climate and an open winter.
There are three trains daily to Philadelphia!
and to all those who improve the railroad compa
ny gives a free ticket.
- The reader will at once be struck with the ad
vantages here presented, and ask himself why the
property has not been taken up before. The rea
son is, it was never thrown in the market ; and un
less these statements were correct no one would be
invited to examine the land before purchasing.
This all are expected to do. They will see the land
under cultivation ; they will meet persons, no
doubt, from their own neighborhood ; they will
witness the improvements, and can judge of tho
character of the population. Persons should come
prepared to purchase, as many are locating, and
locations aro not held on refusal.
The Hammonton Farmer, a monthly literary
and Agricultural sheet, containing full information
