The deacon's widow was not so young, As the Widow Jones of a year before; The deacon's widow had gained in tongue. But the double widowed had double dower.

He says he fed 5000 worms of the nea-nut kind that not 30 died during feeding, and that the cocoons were very pro ductive and large. lie also fed with complete success, about 15,000 of the mammoth white and sulphur kind, the cocoons being of unusual size, weigh ing about 133 to a pound, requiring from 13S0 to 1400 cocoons to make one pound of reeled silk. One acre of land," says Mr. Leonard, "properly set to Multicaulus Mulberries, and well cultivated, and fed to the mammoth silk worm, will produce from 120 to 130 pounds of reeled silk, worth 80 a pound, which will amount (one acre,) to $700. The expense of feeding, the three first months would not be more than the time of one woman to feed them, and a boy ten years old to pick the leaves the first two weeks, and the help of a boy or girl the third week, would be all that would be necessary."

Editors If in your opinion the following account of successful and profitable farming will in any way be ncfit the public, you may make what use of it you think proper. In the paring of the year 1831, Capt. Moses A an lnwigin, my neighbor, sowed a bout 100 busliols of ashes on the quar ter part of a field of about 10 acres of land, in rye, having previously seeded the whole field with clover and timothy. This field was part of a farm of fifty acres on the Neversink Flats, mostly a sandy alluvium, and in much of it the sand greatly predominating. The whole so exhausted that it would hardly pay the interest of 625 per acre. The part not ashed had been well manured the previous year. The result was, first, that c:j the part ashed the crop of grain was bcnelitted to the full amount of the value of the ashes sown; and the next season he mowed from the part ashed at the rate of two tons of hay per acre, while on the residue there was a poor and stinted growth of grass, with much sorrel, hardly worth the expense of ga thering. In the spring of 1835, he sowed on land in rye, and seeded with grass seed, about 5)00 bushels of ashes at the rate of 30 bushels to the acre. Here again he thinks the increase of his crop of rye paid all the expense of ashing, and it was followed the ensuing year with an equal growth of grass; since which he has ashed annually on his 50 acre farm from 700 to 1000 bu shels of ashes, generally at the rale of about 30 bushels to the acre, until by this, and acting generally on the correct principle that a "Judicious liberality is the only true economy of Husbandry ;" he has by an outlay of not over 10 per acre, brought this poor and exhaus ted farm, which, before he commenced us system of improvement, would little more than nay the expense of cultiva tion, to yield an average net profit a mounting to more than the interest of 8200 per acre, and in the mean time realized a profit on the money expend ed, amounting to several hundred per cent. 1 he precise amount, or rate of profit, it is difficult to calculate. It should be borne in mind that the full amount of his outlays were generally returned within the year by the increa sed value of his crops. If, added to this, we consider that the profits of his farm have been increased from six to eight fold, it might at first view be sup posed that its real value had been in creased in that proportion ; yet this is not actually the case, inasmuch as the intrinsic value of the land consisted in its susceptibility of being made profita ble by being properly husbanded ; in ike manner as any other kind of proper ty is estimated valuable, not according to the profit or advantage at any given time derived from it, but in proportion to the amount of profitable use it can be applied to. If this is a correct view, as I believe it is, then is not land, such as the Captain's was, though then yielding little profit, actually worth froni one to two hundred dollars per acre? Yet much ot equal value, can be purchased for from 825 to 850 the acre. Hut to show that this particular farm had no peculiar intrinsic advantages over others in this valley, I will notice the experience of Phifip Swartwout, Esq., about three miles south, in the use and advantages of lime. His farm too, had been reduced by bad husbandry until it produced comparatively no pro fit. Grass could hardly be made to grow on it, of a good quality, even with manure. Lxcept when tilled, it produ ced nothing valuable, and if tilled once in three or four years, it yielded very little, unless when dunged. With an expenditure, in liming, of from six to ten dollars per acre, it now yields good crops of wheat, and grass in abundance, of the best quality.' Even on a sandy field, 1 visited when he was gathering his hay, on which he had hardly ever before seen grass enough to pasture a goose, he had now mowod a heavy burthen of excellent hay, and this the effect of one liming at the rate of 00 bushels to the acre; and that without the use of any other manure. Now it may be well to remark, that the part of onawangunk mountain next this valley is full of lime stone, with abundanco of wood, while the Delaware and Hudson Canal runs through the hollow, and af fords abundant facilities for burning limo at a cheap rale. Fine coal adap ted to the burning of lime in what arc called perpetual kilns, can be furnished here very cheap. Siakcd lime can also majority, the vital principle of Republics, from hich Sunbury, Northumberland Co. be brought on the canal from the icigh borhood of llondout, and dilivc.cd in the centre of most of the farms br G or 7 cents per bushel. Now I would ask whether the profits that may be realized by the purchase and proper use of these lands, are not enough to gratify the most greedy speculator. And in what busi ness or by what device or management he could reasonably hope for a more fa voi uble result. Not that I would en courage any to embark in farming from speculative motives. Farmers should be sober workingincn, not vision ary schcmisls. But f do aver, that there is no business I know of so well calculated to secure the greatest sum total of advantages and enjoyments as farming, if properly conducted. HENRY VAN KLEECK. Cuddebackvillc, Orange co. N. Y. From the Kentucky Farmer. lltnRODSBCRO, Due. 16, IS 10. Mr. Brown : We have noticed in the "Farmer," this fall, several commu nications on the subject of the improved breeds of Swine, which we carefully examined, and we claim the privilege of giving our trials and experience on this matter. In the summer of 1838, incited by the high and flattering accounts given in the eastern papers on this subject, we procured from Mr. A. B. Allan, of Buf falo, New York, five head of thorough bred Berkshircs, hich he had careful ly selected for his own use, and from the high estimation in which they and their progeny arc held, by those" who viewed them with impaitial eyes, we are induced to believe, he manifested no small judgment in the selection. We procured also about the same time, from our neighbors at Pleasant Hill, a few of the same stock, and an Irish pig, of the stock of Mr. Letton of Bourbon, and a Bedford from Mr. Clay. From this Mart wo have raised a cliuioc race of swine, and have been enabled to test the relative value of each stock, as thoroughly and accurately as can be done. In our opinion, the Berkshire is the prince of hogs, and we are sustained in this opinion by the fact, that we have sold every pig from our original stock at 8 10 a pair, to persons in various parts of this an other states, and we have not been enabled to supply all who have called on us. In consequence of the in creased demand for them, we parted with one of our breeding sows, at 81U0, and a male pig, which wc had procu red ior our own use, at fcoO, when 1 months bid. CurlouN Operation. A toy about 12 years old, a son of Mr. Carlin in Butler county, Penna., swallowed a threaded needle a few weeks since, which lodged in the throat within a few inches of the stomach. Physicians were called in who resorted to a curious method to relieve their pa tient. In vomiting the boy had thrown the thread attached to the needle into his mouth. This was immediately se cured and a gum tube passed down o yer it, by which the needle was carried into the stomach ; turned and brought safely up, with but little pain. ClRE TOR THE BITE OF A liATTLE- Svake. The editor of the Che raw, !S. C. Gazette, says aqua ammonia, (water of ammonia,) fresh and pure, in doses of a teaspoon-full at intervals of from 15 minutes to an hour, in water, is an infallible remedy for the bite of any snake. This is the dose for an adult, and the medecine is not to be relied u pon if the bottle in which it is kept has been frequently opened. In an early number of the American Journal of the Medical Sciences, is a paper containing a history of numerous cases successful ly treated by Ammonia. Asiatic Fair. The Fair of St. O nouflree which lasts four weeks, had a numerous attendance in 1810. 30,000 wild horses were brought in from the plains of Tarlary. Fifty thousand cat tie, hundred thousand sheep, ten thou sand swine, and ten thousand horsosof the best breeds were also collected llorso racing was the great amuse ment ; a Circassian horse uained a race of six French leagued, winning a slake of 500 ducats, and all the twelve horses w hich were run against him.

Self-cleansing Chimnevs. The fact cinnot be too generally known, that if, when a chimney is built, the mortar with which it is to be plastered be mix ed with salt, there will be no necessity for sweeping it, as in every damp spell of weather the salt deliquesces, and the soot will of course fall down. A chim ney which was treated in the above manner 2'J years ago has been in use every winter since. Part of the time a fire-place was used with a grate and bituminous coal, but now with a stove and wood. The stove-pipe frequently catches fire, which is suffered to burn in the chimney without apprehension of danger. Birmingham Adv.

French writers estimate the average drily food of a Frenchman aa follow : meat 7 onnces, bread 8 ounces, vegetables 4 ounce, containing on an average 80 er cent, of nutriment.

" The following anecdote of Washington and Gouvrrneur Morris, are extracted from "Tltomat's American reminiscencet of the last eixly Jive yrars." Mr. Thomaa had long been an influential editor, first at Clmlcston, S. C, but of late at Cin rin itll, and is a nephew of Isaiah Thomas, who had the honor of being included with John Hancock and Samuel Adams, who were to bo executed without the hope of pnrJon, for the part they had taken in the Revolution. Mr. Tnomas relates many anec dotes c.f the great man who took a prominent part in the e.itablisment of our independence, that have never appeared in print. We shall occisimally furnish our readers with some of the most intercs li.R. Ed. A mer. " It has often been asserted by his intimate friends and t-vrn by some of his biographers, that few men haj the nerve to approach him with familiarity. The following anecdote, illustrative of Ibis fact, I hav often heard iejeated,and its truth was confirm ed to me by a gentleman in New York, who had the best opportunity of knowing. w ' The lato Uoverncur Morria, in ci nvers ilion with sonic friends on this subject one day, when Con gress sat in new York, and Washington cccupbd the house then in front of the " U iwtirig Ciro. n," denied the correctiuss of this opinion, and olHre l to test the truth i f it onrc, by joining him in the garden, where Washington was wulking alone, and in their view. A bet was made, and Mr. Moiris went immediately into the garden to decide it. lie approached the ('resident in the rear, and as he came up alongside gave him a familiar tap on the shoulder, at the same time addressing him familiar ly with ' how do you do, sir 1" Washington turned his bend and echoed back the question, with all that dignity which distinguish! d him from all other men. Morris was pdiilied; and returning to his friend., declared that nothing would tempt him to repeal the experiment. Although he had been for years in almo t daily intercourse with this wonderful man , and supposed he might be approuch(d like other men under similar circumstance-, he felt his soul sink within him at the look and lono of voice with which his question was anowered. " For myself, I can only say, that I have stood in t'no presence of kings, and sat al table with princes, without any of those feelings of awe and rverencc, which came over me like a summer cloud when in his presence, although then in the reckles-mss of boyhood. " Waxhii.gUin.s style of travelling comported with the marked dignity of his character; on the occasion above-mentioned it was as follows: It was his general practice to enlei a town in his chariot, and leave it on horeback. Ilia post-chariot was drawn by four beautiful bay horses, and driven by postil lions in blsnket coats, liveries, jockey caps, buck skins and boots; wl ile upon his right, on horseback, rode Colonel Lear, an on hia (eft, Major Jackson : next came a light baggage wagon, drawn by Iwo fine bay horses, driven by a white man in a round cor duroy jacket, glazed hat buck-kins and bout; while faithful 15 illy brought up the rear, mounted on a fine blood horse, and lea ting the geneial'a white charger, presented him by Charles the Fourth, of Soain. It waa precisely in this style that I saw liirn enter Worcester, followed by a calvalcade of gentlemen on horseback. When he left il, the on ly charge was ihst he mounted his charger and rode between his two secretaries, Lear and Jackson; while the empty chariot and the remainder of his equippage followed after, with troops of horse and cavelcadea of hosemen, increasing as they went, un lit they arrived at lloston." The following anecdote fully illustrates the inflex ible integrity and scrupulous regard for truth that invariaUy marked the conduct and actions of this truly great man, in all the phases of hia eventful life : "Il is an extraordinary fact, that the lifo of no mm, of any ai;e or nation, who has risen to great ness ever afforded ao few anecdotes aa his. " One, however, I well remember to have heard frequently spoken of soon after it occurred ; il was this: Direct iy alter the llritish were compelled to quit Doston, which was besieged by Washington, with (ieneral Wbid second in command, General Ward lesinej his commission, which circumstance was thus spoken of by Washington, in a letter to Congress: 'no sooner is the seat of war removed from beyond the smoke of his own chimneys, than General Ward resigns his command.' " About the lima of the organization oflhe gov ernment under the Constitution, General ward was informed of this remark, and being elected lo the second congress, soon aflt r his anival at the scat of government, (then New York.) he took a friend with him and called upon Washington, and asked him if it was true, that had made use of such lan guage. The I'rcsiJent replied that he did Hot know ; but he kept copies of all his letters, an I woulJ take an opportunity of ex iinioing them, and give him an answer at the next session. According ly, at the next session General Ward ca!.-d again with l is friend, and recivtd for answer, that be (Wellington) had wiiiten to thai effect. Ward then said, 'Sir, yuu are no gciitlenan,' turned on his heel and left him, and here, of couise, the waiter ended. " 1 have recenty met with the coiifirmsiion of an important Let I had beaid uvniioncd i.euily half a centu y ago; but I do not know that il baa found its way into any li g'aphy of Washington.

" When Kainsay wroto his biography, he fought in vain among the friends and neighbors of the il. lustr ous dead, for those little incidents which ao of. ten enliven the pae of the biographer, " In 1797, Lord Emkine wrote a book, in which he intioJuccd tho name of Washii.gton, and sent him a copy, with a note to this e fleet, written upon a blank leaf of it : 'It bus been my good foituiv, through life, to bo associated with the most talented and distinguished men of Europe; but you, fir, are the only human being for whom I ever felt a rever ential awe, totally unlike anything I ever felt to wji J any other of the human race.'
