1 tl WALDESSEi COXISG 10 WlSTERS YlKCISIA. A communication has been published in sev eral of the religions and secular newspapers, from the Rev. Mr. Lorriaux, who has bees ior some time laboring for the spiritnal benefit of the French population of Boston, designed to awaken the sympathy and call forth the benev olence cf the American people in behalf of a large number of pious, frugal, and industrious YYaldenses, anxious to emigrate to this land of civil and religions liberty. The reasons given for this desire, were the limited territory to which they are confined at home ; the sterility of the soil ; the prospect of continuous pover ty to themselves and their descendants ; the excessive taxation ; the constant attacks upon tneir noiy religion and the annoyance to which they are exposed from a Jesuitical and Inquisitorial priesthood. It is now stated, on reliable authority, that Mr. Lorriaux has se cured three thousand acres of good land, to be occupied by his congregation about to come to this country numbering some five hundred eouls in Monongalia county, Virginia, within eight miles of Morgantown, and only twenty miles from the Pennsylvania line, at the low price of seventy-five cents per acre. This gentleman supposes the report of this purchase will induce many thousands of French Protes tants to seek new homes in the same, or simi lar localities, leaving their own country, where their dearest rights are always in danger, and where land commands a price of from $300 to $500 per acre. Whilst the old world cannot well afford to lose such people, they will be welcomed to this. A blessing to any comma nity will be those who profess the faith of the Ilnguenots, of the Jays of New York, and of the Marions of South Carolina. The history of the Protestantism and piety of the devout French and Swiss of former days, is not now as generally known as it should be, or as it will be. Prt. Banner. As Exfebihest is Draixisg. When we witness the change of a sterile soil into a fer tile one, through the influence of draining, it is conclusive evidence of the value of labor so applied. Such has recently come under our notice, and we shall recall it for our readers. It not unfrequently happens in billy or gently undulating districts, that intervales and damp springy soils abound, requiring draining be fore it can be brought into profitable cultiva tion. The instance in question was a field of fair surface, quite free from stone, but receiv ing from more elevated land a continual sup ply of clear, cold, soft spring water, which ran over nearly the whole surface. The owner, faithless reclaiming the lot, was yet desi rous of collecting the water to supply a reser voir for cattle. This was mainly accomplish ed by cutting a drain across the slope of land near the upper side of the field, for about a hundred rods in length, which did so much for draining the surface that other ditches were cut, completing the work. The drains were finished with the flat stone usual in such dis tricts, carefully laid and covered with a good coat of straw, before replacing the dirt. Now of the change produced. A crop never grew cpon this lot from the time it was cleared un til after it was drained. Water grasses and weeds were the only product; but since drain ing, it has produced annually over two tons of good hay per acre, without any manure. The appearance of the soil is wholly changed from a tenacious blue clay, adhering to one's boots tlike tar, to a clear, black, clay loam just such a soil as always produces remunerative crops to the farmer. Country Gentleman. Two murders were perpetrated in New York city on the 8th Feb. One victim was a man named Davis who was stabbed by another named Tynonin a low dancc-honse the oth er, a colored woman, was chopped about the bead, in a horrible manner, by her daughter, while asleep, for her money, ia order that she might have the means of living with her black lover. The details are frightful. The moth- er had $3o ; to procure this, and to gratify their lust unrestrained, the criminal lover in duced the daughter to commit the crime. The first cut of the axe gave but a ehastlv wound, and as the poor old woman rolled over the floor, several more cuts had to be given before the tragedy was finished. A traveller in Norway, writing to the Bos ton Recorder, gives an account of the norther most paper in the world, the Tromsoe Times. It is printed at Tromsoe, a little island village of about 4000 inhabitants, on the coast of Nor way, at three degrees within the Polar circle. The summer sun kindly looks in at the office windows at midnight, to see that Ihe foims are properly set up." The "Times" is a four paged semi-weekly sheet, with only two col umns on a page, and is about the size of a quarto book lortn. The style of type is the Gothic, which has been discarded in Sweden, and to a considerable extent both io Germany and Denmark. The latter are the only nations which retain the Gothic baud-writing. A dreadful calamity by fire occurred in Brooklyn, New York, on Sunday morning the Cth Feb. A Mrs. Gill, her two children, one 15 months, the other 6 years ofage, and a ser vant girl, were suffocated, and-several other persons serionsly injured, by the burning of a house in Fulton avenue.
