LEWISBURG CHRONICLE & WEST BRANCH FARMER. The Farmer. JESTMi. Muwer recently bought fur his daughter Louse in Lewifburg, a Dur ham cow, from Chatautme Co., N. Y., which weighed nearly 1700 lbs. llor owner dis posed of Lor, supposing her to be past the bearing age, but Mr. M-, discovering her to be with calf, offered her for gale. Un fortunately, no oue of the neighboring farmers had a disposition to buy ; but Mr. K:ir;, l f Northumberland, bought her fori saved her for the present from the kn'-T . She is a cplendid looking animal, au 1 wo hope msy prove profitable as well as lulky. For tit L"-wiiburg Chronirle. Since I returned from the State Fair, I Lave felt auxious to have an Agricultural S ninety formed in this county, and have1 been looking to our NewBerlin friends to call the adjuurued meeting for that object, but have looked in vain. I therefore ask whether it is worth while to make another effort to form's Union County Agricultural Society, and would like to have gome opi nions expressed through jour paper. I 6till think fmeli a society might be formed at once if the right kind of men would take the lend. Should' no County Society bo raised, then I would move to have ono this side, of the Ridge, and have Annual Fairs at the outlet of I5u3alo Creek. What would the Lewisburg people say to this ? : Since they cau't have a Market IIoutc, it might do them some good at all events to look at some iino poultry and fruit once a 3 ear. J. Q.

Eethols of Curies Frlze Hams. ine nanm oi .'i.iryiuii i ana lniinia h.vo long cnjf-ed a wide celebrity. At ibe last eihiliiti on of the Maryland State Agricultural Society, fmr premiums were awarded fjr L wis. We are informed by those who had the opportunity of examin ing them, that they were of first rate qual ity. The following are the recipes by which the hams were cured. A uitrieau Farmer. T. E. Hamilton's Recipe First Prvmi nni. To every 100 j-ounds pnk take ! lbs. of G. A. sail, 2 or. salt tre, i 11 browu frugar, i 1 oz. potash, ai.d 4 gallun--of water. Mix the above, and pour the briuo over the meat, after it has lain in the tub some two day. Let the hanu remain six weeks in the brine, aud then dried several days beftTc Kicking. I have generally had the meat rubbed with tin rait when it is packed down. The meat fchould le jierfcctiy cool before packing. J. Green's Recipe Second Frcmium To 100 pounds of liork take half a bui-hel and half a peck of salt, 3 lbx. saltpetre, 3 lbs. sugar, aud 2 quarts of inulasses. Mix rub the bacon with it well; keep on for three weeks in all ; at the end of nine days take out the hams and put those which are at the top at the bottom. R. lirwJct: Jr.'i Kerijte Third Premi um. One bui-hel of fine salt, half bu.iliel ground alum salt, one and a half lbe. to a thousand lbs. pork, left to lie in pickle four weeks, bung up and smoked witL hickory wood until the riud becomes dark brown. C. D. S'iiigl'fs lledpe -Fourth Pre inium. To 100 lbs. green hams take S lbs (J. A. Salt, 2 lbs. brown sugar or molases C juivalent, 2 oz. 6altpetre, 2 oz. peail ash, 1 gallons water, dissolve well ; bkimmiug eft" the t-cuin arising on the surface. Pac the hams compactly in a tight vessel or cask, rubbing (lie rieshy part with fine salt. in a day or two, tour the above pickle over tho meat, taking care to keep it cov cred with pickle. In four to t'xx weeks, according to tho size and weight of the liams, (that is to y, the longer period for heavy hams,) hang up to guieke, hock up ; smoking with green hickory wood. I have put up hiai for the last twelve or fifteen years by t!j above recipe with uui form success, equal at all tiuius to the sain pie now presented. Save the Dead Leave Very few gardeners would be guilty of so foolish a thing as to waste barn-yard manure. But they are all guilty of a waete not a whit le excusable. We mean ths waste of dead leave that fall at ttils sasou of the year, from trees and thrubs of all kinds. If every horticuitu 1 1st would rvSeut for a moment on tho na ture of these fallen leaves which contaiu not only vegetable n a tcr, but tlie earthy slti, lini?, potash, &e. u ceded for the next season's growth and that too, exactly iu t'ae proportion required by the very tree or plant from which they fall nay more, fjbey would, consider that it is precisely is thi way, by V decomposition of these very failing leaves, nature enriohes the year aftrr year, iu her great f.Tcets, it would scarcely be possible for such a reflecting horticulturist to allow these leaves to be swept away by every wind that blows, and finally be lost altogether. A wise horticulturist will diligently col lect, from week to week, tho leaves that fall uuder each tree, and by digging them under the soil about the roots, where they will decay and enrich the soil, provide in the cheapest manner, the best food for that tree. In certain vineyards in France, the vines are kept in the highest condi tion by simply burying at their roots eve ry leaf and branch that is pruned off such vines, or that falls from them at the end of the season. In the same manner, the leaves that fall from young fruit trees should be carefully saved and dug in be neath the surface of the soil. A single year' experience of its good results will conurin our readers in this practice. Big Crops. We recently published an account of i crop of Wheat, raised by Mr. J. K. Hew lett of Baltimore, Md., averaging nearly 42 bushels to tho acre; a friend, N. Black, Esq., of Chalestown, Cecil Co., noticing it, scuds us the following returns from a crop, raised by himself and brother, to confirm our impression that Maryland is "some" at wheat growing. He also adds a crop of Corn, that we think hard to beat lie says : " We raised this season on 15 acres, 510 bushels of white Wheat, averaging 34 bushels to the acre on 4i acres of which we bad 40 bushels to the acre. Half of the 15 acres was corn ground, or was in coru last season and put in wheat, after the corn was taken off, without the use of any kind of manure. "Some three years ago, wo raised on this same ground 93 bushels of Corn to the acre a number of the ears measured 15 inches aud fomo 15 inches in length. We have a few yet, preserved as curiosi ties. The Corn was known as the Lancas ter County Sapling it was brought to this neighborhood by Judge Couard, of this place." Miner's Journal. Tickling Heat. Pref. Rt fiensque denounces the use of saltpetre iu brine intended for the preser vation of flesh to be kept for food. That part of the salt petre w hich is absorbed by the meat, he says, is nitric acid or aqua fortis, a deadly poison. Animal flesh, pre vims to the addition of pickle, consists of gelatinous and fibrous substances, the for mer only possessing a nutritious virtue j the gelatine is destroyed by the chemical action of saltpetre, and, as the professor remarks, the meat becomes as different a substance from what it should be, as leath er is from the raw hide before it is sub jected to the proem of tanning. He ascribed to the pernicious effic's of the chemical change all the diseases which are common to mariners and others who subsist principally upon salted meat such as scurvy, s re gums, decayed teeth, ul cers, Ac. aui advises a total abandon ment of the use of saltpetre in the making of pickle for beef, pork, 4c, the best su stitute for which is, he sais, sugar, a small ijuautity rendering the meat sweeter, more wholesome and equally as durable. Ground ani Ungrouni, or, Cooked and uncooked Fool In a communication from the Society of .-Lakers at Lebanon, .New York, in the Patent OJioe Report, we find the following: " The experience of more than thirty years leads us to estimate yrvund corn, at one-third higher than tin-ground as food for cattle, and especially for fattening pork: licuce it has bceu the practice of our soci ety for more than a quarter of a century to grind all our provender. "The same experience induces us to put a higher value upou cooked than upon raw meal: and for fattening animals, swine particularly, we consider three of cooked, equal to four bushels of raw meal. "Until within the last three or four years, our Society fattened annually for M years from 40,000 to 50,000 pounds of pork, exclusive of lard and offal fat ; and it is the coustant practice to cook tho meal, for which six or seven potash kettles are used." r- The Shakers are a close observing, cal culating people, and go in for tho practi cal realities of life, aud therefore, in the economy of food, must be presumed to be good j udes. For ourself, we are disposed to beiieve the conclusions at which they have arrived are correct. Plow, Loom & Anvil. A mau who had gone West, for the purpose of bjyiug land, found, upon arnv- at his destination, that his money, aooui $i,0UU, in bank bills, which he had placed in Ml about his body, was mat ted tojetner and nearly converted into p ilp, liy means of the perspiration, which i.aJ penetrated the girdle. His only re source was to return home again. In attempting lo separate the mass, he broke it inU three pieces, and then gave up the lib. Afterwards, he committed the re mains of his "pile" lo a chemist, Mr. t ehb, of Utica, who succeeded, by steam ing and delicate man puIation,li separating the bill from the confused mas.-", and restored nerly the whole amount to a snipe that rendered them as valuable a. btfore. This incident is worthy of re mcinberin;, bt:h as a caution on the one hand, and a j.u de on the other. Th N irway (Maine).

Subject "Books : their Uses." The Lecture by Rev. Dr. Malcom la?t evening was well attended, and an hour very pleasantly passed in pithy and plain portraitures of the position, productions, customs, religion, 4c, of the people of the Burman Empire. We are confident that a continuation of Lectures on tho same field would be desired by all who heard the first, and hope Dr.Malcom will consent to gratify them on some future occasion. J8ST"The trial of Ilannaway for Treason resulted, under the charge of Judge Grier, iu his instantaneous acquittuf aud discharge after months of suffering and exhausting his means in self-defence. It is allowed on all hands that a more groundless prosecu tion for so grave an offence was never ins tituted under our Constitution, and shows in a clearer light thau ever the inherent brutality and tyrannical nature of the Slave Power. A nolle prosequi was ente red in behalf of the other Defendants,some of whom however are bound over to the proper Court in Lancaster county, to take their trial on the charge of riot or murder. Mr. Robbins, of the "Legal Intelligen cer," Philad., publishes an official account of the whole trial, at SI per copy. .DSTThere has been considerable dis cussion in the V. S. Senate, as to the manner of the reception of Kossuth at Washington. On Friday last, the follow ing joint resolution, proposed by Mr. Seward, was adopted : Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, in Congress assembled, That the Congress of the United States, in the name and iu behalf of the people of the United States, give Louis Kossuth a cordial weleome to the Capitol of the country. Yes 33. Nays Messrs. Badger, Borland, Clemens, Dawson, Morton, and Underwood (all Southerners) 6. The announcement of the result was followed by much applause in the gallery. The resolution was then read a third time and passed. A genius in the House,from Alabama, rejoicing iu the name of Smith, has pro posed to arrest Kossuth (according to the report in the Daily News) on the charge of treason. He evidently thinks it is just as bad for a servant to get away from his master in Austria, as it is in America, and is prepared to catch "fugitives" wherever he can find them; whether their skin is a shade darker or lighter. Hon. Mr. Smith seems very honestly to think should make no difference. Sees Himself!

Burn's wish " O vad Annie power the giftie git ns To M ouroelvt as Utters ea us," appear to be realized in his case after a so long a time, and we hope may have the effect to lead the discoverer hereafter to act upon honest principles charge fair prices and not spend his time and talents in seeking to underbid and undermine his neighbors. BSuHorace Greely is a looker-on at Washington. He says that Mr. Clay and Mr.Fillmore both decline being considered as Presidential candidates ; that General Scott and Mr. Webster are the Whig can didates ; that Mr. Buchanan is the first man on the Democratic side ; Gen. Butler next ; Gen. Cass nowhere ; but Douglass of 111., has far the most probability of the nomination. - Horace is as often right as wrong. IS-Thanks to Hon. James Gamble and Hon. Henry M.

It is perhaps worthy of notice, as indi cating the temper of Congress on the Slavery question, that the first thing that was done when the House met, was a few random fires from both sides on the vexed question of the day. It has been crammed dawn the throats of the people generally that Congress had made a "final settle ment" of the Slavery issue, and we res pectfully submit that it is as little ui Congress can d., particularly thcptnacea portion of it, to keep within range of con sistency. It the people must keep quiet at the dictation of I'ongresn, we insist that Congress shall cease to foam and flounder all the time on questions that they pro clai.n to the world ns sealed beyond the hope of modification or repeal.
