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.
Is a Nutshell. A shrewd business man,
who takes little interest in politics, is report
ed to have remarked, that the proposition to
buy Cuba seemed to him "like an offer to give
money that we had not got, for a thing we
didn't want, to a nation that wouldn't sell !
