Fur waut of help to raise this cabin, it was built of poles; it was about twelve by fourteen feet on the ground, act! had but one room. Afler he had rained it to such a height that he could stand upright iu it, the poles were gradually drawn iu ou cacti side till they met at the ridge. Upon these were laid hemlock bark fur a roof. A few stones were laid for a hearth, and built up a few feet in the rear, to f,i iu a protection against the fire. Upou thin platform were piled huge logs, from which the smoke as ceuded and found its way through au open ing left in the room for this purpose. The cabin stood with its ends east and west. Windows it had uone. lie was able to briug but little household furniture into this wilderness. lie, therefore, made use of such as he could hastily make with a few tools, from the native forest. There were no cabinet-makers no saw-mills. Into this humble dwelling be moved his family on the tenth day of April, 1791. During this season be had the society of few settlers, who had came without their families to begin improvement. Tbey all left, however, in the autumn. He, with Lis fauiilv, remained Alone in this vast wilderness to spend the winter. It proved to be a severe one. lie had raised a scanty i supply, which be hoped by proper care would be sufficient His nearest neighbor lived about fourteen miles from him. Not the sound of a human -voice was heard,ex cept those of his own family. With them he found bis companions; with them he shared the wants and trials of the winter; with them the dreary nights and linger ing mouths passed away. The storm rush ed around bis rude cabin, searching out its crevices, or rearing mimio Alps about bis door. But our solitary pioneer bad other and mora formidable obstacles to encounter, early mauhood throwing the rein upon He was obliged to bring his bay, for two the neck of his lusts, ere the prime of man cows and a yoke of oxen, from a beaver ! hood had been passed an outcast from so- meadow a distance of nearly two miles. ' His wife in his absence, whi'.e attending on the duties of her household, had step ped upon tho ice, slipped, and fractured a bone in her ancle.. Privations and expo sure brought on a severe cold. This was oon accompanied with a high fever. Soon her mind wandered, unconscious of bar con dition. Tbe storm rushed around tbe poor ly covered cabin and sifted the snow upon her bed. Her youngest child, an infant of about five months, also sickened. A raging fever had destroyed it natural ali raenL His cow afforded no substitute for it It rapidly declined under sickness and hunger. Hi stock of provisions was nearly exhausted. Hi potatoes had fro. leu by the unexpected severity of the win ter. But even without this loss he would have bad a scanty supply. He saw with j regret that bis provisions were not suffi- j cient to supply even the limited want of j hi family. There were none to assist him , or relieve him one moment in tbe care of . hi children, and hi now more than help less wife. No kind voice greeted him du ring those lonely ana trying months no Wbroueht relief. Oblieed bv thesecir- i cumstance to remain at home, he saw ! hunger, famine and perhaps death, coming' upon hi family with steady and relentless . atep. The deer, the elk, the bear, and the! panther roamed in these unbroken wilds ; j but our pioneer had no means of taking i tbe animals that prowled around his dwell-1 ing. At length hie food for hi family was nearly exhausted. He had for several days kept hi children on a small allow ance, taking scarcely nothing himself. He till hoped that God would aend relief. He divided hi last provisions until they were reduced to a single meal. Before he distributed this he hesitated. He looked over hi beloved family, and hi heart wa moved. There, in the corner of the room lay his wife, o wasted under disease and want that the light of reason had become extinguished. By her side lay an infant child, pining twl. for wMt 0f aiimerit uited to iu year. On either side of him were his two little children, looking np to him with tearful eye for bread. He arose end took the last morsel and divided it be tween tbem. It wa a trying hour. With oit speedy relief those helpless children must cry in vain for bread. A lingcriog, dreadful death awaited them. Painful thought I "Must I see these loved ones pin away with hanger f Must I hear their unavailing cry for food f Most I close their eyes in death, a ad here, alone, bury their wasted forms in the wilderness? O.how can a father' heart bear all this?" Such thoughts, as we may well imagine, led him with unusual earnestness to Him "who providcth for the raven hi food." He there kneeled before God, with his family, and committed them to Him, hop ing and trusting in His mercy for deliver ance. He arose from prayer and went to bi door, when he beard a dog bark upon the opposite hill, near where the village now stands. He distinctly heard the dog,s if closely chasing an animal down the bill to the Lackawazen. Elated with the hope of deliverance, he seized an old musket which had long been useless, snd ran down to the stream, where he fouuJ an elk iu the watcr,dcfeudiug himself from the dog. So intense were the emotions of that hour, that without reflection he repeatedly snap ped the old musket, but of course to no effect. The huuter, whose dog had roused the elk, soon came down the hill aud shot it. He, witu his companion, who bad come out uu snow shoes for a hunt, soon learned the eouditiou of Mr. Stauton and his fatuity. Tbey immediately emptied their kuapsacka of palatable food for them. Tbey roasted a part of the elk, and before its flesh was yet fully cooked, Mr. Stan ton, as a starving nian,cagerly devoured it. After relieving their immediate want,tbey went to obtaiu other comfort for this afflic ted family in tbe wilderness. Mr. Stan ton was soon visited by hi cousin, Asa Stauton, who had recently settled near Way mart. To these tisils, and the fre quent visit of these hunters, he was in debted for many comforts, and the restor- ! ation of his wife and infantcbild to health. The hunter who fouud Mr. Stanton in this distressed situation wa Mr. Frederic Coates. Mr. Stauton ever after regarded this visit, and very justly too,a a remark able interposition of Divine Providence. He preserved the born of thia elk a memento of God' mercy to him and hi fatuilv wbija in a wick mud atarwiog condi tion. Some year afterwards, he kept a publie house, and had them nailed upon tbe top of his sign-post, and often related to visiter and travelers the story of his sufferings and deliverance. WILD OATS. The following from the Prrslyterian, is a caution to those young men who are intending to sow their "wild oats-" During a ministry of nearly twenty years, I have seen a great deal of "wild oats" sown ; aud I never have aeen any thing but "wild oats" reaped from "wild oats" sown. I have seen many a one in cicty. or filling a. dishonored grave; and the more warm hearted and generous the natural disposition of the young man, the more rapidly has vice done it fearful work, and the more terrible tbe wreck it his made. I have sees others, giving way for a time to the indulgence of passion, after wards the hopeful subjects of Divine grace. But I have heard, as they have smarted under the consequence of their youthful ins, lament their coarse in early life, in language like that of Job, "Our bones are full of the gins of our youth, which shall lie down with us in the duaL" Divine Wisdom gives its lessor in uch language as this : "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old be will not depart from it." "My son, if sinners entice tbee, consent thou not; walk not thou in the way with tbem ; refrain thy foot from their path." "Blessed be tbe man that walketb not in tbe counsel of the ungodly nor standeth in the way of (inner, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful."

An Important Bint Mb. Editor I have noticed your invi tation to farmer to furuish you with their experiences and thoughts on farming,and, although I am entirely unaccustomed to compose writing for publication, I accept the invitation. I uiake my first appear ance in making a suggestion to farmers, which I am sure, if universally adopted, will prove of value to them. Last Wednesday, on returning from market, I overheard two farmer conver sing to this effect ; "Are you going to the sale, Thomas V "What saleT" "Why, np at S '." "This is the first I heard of it I did not see it in tho TeJryroph." "True it did not appear in the paper. It was ouly posted in .handbills," said Thomas. "U, it can't be much," said tbe other, "if it has not been advertised. I don't think I shall go." After hearing the conversation, which was tho first information I had of the sale, I went to it. The articles offered for sale were veiy numerous, and in excellent or der, but there were very few people on tbe ground, and consequently tbiugs went off very low, some of tbem at not half their value. I purchased sundry articles, and on my return next day to get aud pay for them, I obnervcd the proprietor in conver sation with the clerk of the tale, with a long, moody face. "How is it," said be, "my sale has not amounted to half as much as my friend's, Mc , although his stock and fixtures were not near as valuable as mine How is it?" And he dubiously scratched hi head. "Well, indeed," answered the clerk, "I really do not know the cause of it." But, reader, the cause is no secret Hi friend, I know, advertised bi sale in de tail in the columns of the 7eVyraj)7,wherc it was doubtless read by thousands, and the consequence wa that about twice a much was received for the property sold at tut sale, to what wa received by Mr. S . The few dollars paid for adverti sing was returned to him an hundred fold. Indeed when I say 8500 were the fruits of hi advertising,! may not be going beyond the truth. As thi is the season of farmers' auc tions, I give the above for what it is worth. Farmer's Friend. Phaad'a County, Nov. 4, 1856. From California. The Illinois reached New York on Sat urday, with 3G4 passengers and 81,830,220 iu specie, and news from San Francisco to the 5th ult. Tbe Vigilance Committee bad surren dered the State arms, and Gov. Johnson withdrew his proclamation declaring the City in a state of insurrection. Earthquakes, fires, and Indian and Chi nese wars on tbe Pacific coast, are mingled with news of good mining labors, and the arrival of 886 overland emigrants, witb 8564 cattle, 350 horses, and 7700 sheep. The business connection of Col. Fremout with tbe banking firm of Palmer, Cook & Co., was falsely and fraudulently alleged, and was used to prejudice the ignorant and the new comers against him. As was generally anlicipatod,the Repub lican party could not in o abort a time compete with tbe two other parties, one backed by tbe Dem. General Government, aud the other by tbe Am. State Govern ment There was no Republican party, and would have been none had not Fre mont been nominated ; they have, however, in 3 months, made tbe nucleus of an or ganization, and thrown a handsome vote. It is thought they have carried part of their ticket in San Francisco and several other counties. As far as heard from, Buchanan had 20,000 votes, Fillmore 15,000, and Fremont 10,000. Tbit Di vision of the Opposition it wa supposed, would insure the success of tbe Democrat ic Electoral and Congressional Ticket, and give them the Legislature. Tbe Election in San Francisco was eon ducted to entire satisfaction. .The ballot boxes were made of glass. Buchanan and Fillmore both pledged themselves for the Pacific Railroad taking care, however, to keep their letters back so that tbey could not be published in the East until after the Election. Fremont's pledge (all three written to by one mail) wa read, East and West, before Election. Gov. Gondora, of Sonora, was defeat ed by Gov. Aguilar, with the lou of 50 killed and 200 wounded. Gen. Walker, it wa uted, wa well posted in Nicaragua againt his foes. MEMENTO raow Ctaou. My son, be Ibis thy simple plan ( Serve God. and love thy fellow man. Forget not, in temptation's hoar.

When we see drop of water on the surface of tbe bo3y as tbe result of exercise, or subsidence of fever, that is sensible perspiration, perspi ration recogniicd by the sense of sight But when perspiration is so gentle that it can not be detected in the shape of water drops, when no moisture can be felt, when it i known to us only by a certain softness of tbe skio, that is insensible perspiration, and i so gentle that it may be checked to every considerable extent without special injury. But to use popular language which can not be mistaken, when a man i sweating freely, and it is suddenly checked, and tbe sweat is not brought out again in a very few moment, sudden and painful siekneas i a very certain result. What, then, checks perspiration T A draft of air while we are at rest after ex erciee, or getting tbe clothing wet and re maining at rest while it is to. Getting out of a warm bed aod going to an open window, baa been the death of multitude. A lady heard tbe cry of fire at midnight; it wa bitter cold ; it wa so near, tbe flame illuminated her chamber. She left the bed, and hoisted the window; tbe cold chilled ber in a moment. From that hour until her death, a quarter of a century later, she never saw a well day. A young lady went to ber window in her night-clothe, to look at aomethiog in the street, leaning her unprotected arms on the stone window-sill, which was damp and cold. She became an invalid, and will remain so for life. Sir Thoma Colby, being in a profuse sweat one night, happened to remember that be bad left the key of his wine eellar on the parlor table, and fearing his servant might improve the iuadvertance and drink some of bie wine, he left his bed and walked down stairs ; tbe sweating process wa checked, from which he died in a few days, leaving six millions of dollar in English funds. His illness was so brief and violent that he bad no opportunity to make bis will, and bi immense property was divided among five or six day-laborer who were his nearest relative. CTL. ,... I nbtsk W WlaU to impress upon the mind of the reader is this : when you are perspiring freely, keep in motion until you get to a good fire, or to some place where you are perfectly sheltered from any draft of air whatever. Halt" i Journal of Health. Bice and Young Trees. We see in the agricultural papers,nortb and east of us, various remedies for the protection of young trees in winter, agaimt tbe destructive attacks of mice. Various remedies are proposed ; the fol lowing are among tbe number,and we con dense them for our readers who may be in fested witb mice: Mr. David Gray, of Oneida county, take one pound of tallow and two quart of common tar, melt and mixes thoroughly aod applies while warm with a paint brush, to the trunk of bis trees, as high up as he think there is any danger of their being gnawed. He say the tar thus mixed, baa no injurious effect on the tree. P.n.W., of Mohawk.N.Y., eondemns the tar application, laying that a neighbor of bi tried it, and though it effectually kept off tbe mice, it killed near ly all the tree. Another recommend the tramping down of snow around tbe tree. Tbe mice lay low, in loose stuff, and will not penetrate bard earth or mow to get at the trees. ' The plan generally adopted, and with complete success, i to bank up the earth around the tree a foot high. It is done expeditiously, and on the score of labor it also ha the advantage over others. There are several other remedies mention ed ; but as tbe banking up process i sim ple and inexpensive and perfectly effectual, it is the one to be. recommended. Thi banking-up has also other advantages ; it protects, the root against severe frost, a well as an undue quantity of moisture witb which tbe earth is usually saturated in winter, at least'in most localities. Ger mantown Telegraph. , Wa learn that tbe firm of William Milnea & Co., extensive Coal operator in the Lehigh and other coal regioo, have suffered by a robbery to the amount of $1,000. Tbe circumstances received, are as follows : " On Monday night, the 20th ult, they despatched a teamster named Sanford Fowler from Jeansville, Loxerne Co-,toTaroaqua, the site of their collieries, with the above amount in note, to pay their bands. When be reached the distance of a mile and a half from Treskow, a small Tillage not far from Tamaqua,a man atepped from tbe forest, without warning or pre lude, discharged s pistol, the load of which took effect in Fowler' side and thigh, in flicting a serious, but not fatal wound. The robber then obtained his booty and fled, and tbe injured man was soon discov ered and conveyed to a residence. Thi occurrence took place about seven o'clock in the evening." - Seventeen bean . have been (hot or trapped in tbe upper end of Dauphin county in about one month past. These "black republicans", were flourishing within 21 mile of Harriiburg. "Kansas must be Free!" In answer to the various questions that are propounded in regard te aid for Kan sas, we would say, briefly : that all moneys or articles sent to the Nstiooal Committee have been forwarded to the land of suffer ing, and have reached their destination in safety. The amount forwarded is not suf ficient, however, to supply tbe destitute during the Winter. There are about 3,000 person who will require clothing, provision and medicine to keep them till next Spring. All clo thing should be forwarded previous to the 15th of December, as after that date the transportation will be discontinued for tbe Winter. All packages should be directed "W. F. M. Amy, No. 11 Mariae Bank building, Chicago." Provisions can be purchased on more reasonable terms contiguous to the Terri tory than to forward them from the States. Our present arrangements will enable us to reach every cabin aod tent,and equi tably distribute the bounty of the friends of Freedom. We have reason to believe that 20,000 farmers aod mechanics, who have means to defray their expensea to Kansas, and sustain themselves while they are prepar ing a home for their families, are anxious to emigrate next Spring. To all such we would say that we have made arrange ment with railroads, steamboat, dtc, so that we can assist them by furnishing tic kets, Ae., at a redaction of at least 25 per cent, on the usual rates of fare and trans portation. AU such emigrant who desire information or aid, can obtain it by wri ting to the subscriber. ' We think we have made such arrange ments for protection that articlee sent to Kansas will not fall into the bands of those who are tbe enemies of Freedom. And we are fully satisfied that if the Free-State men are sustained through thi winter in Kansa,that even under tbe present organ ic law, that fair land must be free territory. Though this is not all that ean and must be done, this population must be the basis of all our efforts : they must be sustained there. - vim wui marennre see that the respon sibility rest upon the friends of Freedom. And if tbey will liberally, of their abund ance, supply the means to feed and clothe the hungry and naked, and thus retain tbem in the territory, it eannot be desecra ted by Slavery. W. F. M. ARNY, Gen'l Agent National Kansas Committee. Boston, Nov. 20, 1856. j The Freemen of Kansas will be sus tained by tbe Freemen of New England. Vermont has appropriated $20,000 for the relief of the suffering squatters. Maine, in due time, will follow her example ; and Massachusetts, it is confidently expected by prominent politicians,will donate $100,- 000 to sustain ber exiled eitixens and the pioneers of her free institutions. Tbe New England Emigrant Aid Society is re newing its exertions ; $1 00,000 extra stock will be Subscribed to its capital by tbe eit ixens of Boston before the expiration of tbe present year. There ii a North. Clothing for the Free State men is pour ing in from every direction. Two hundred and forty-four barrels and boxes have al ready been forwarded from this eity by tbe Emigrsnt Aid Society alone. The cloth ing is purchased and manufactured by the eitixens of Massachusetts ; tbe Aid Society merely forward it to tbe National Com mittee at Chicago. Money to buy provi sions is now needed more than articles of apparel. New York haa done very little yet; Pennsylvania and New Jersey no thing. Chicago alone, up to within a re cent period, bas done more for Kansas than all the Middle States together. Ger rit Smith's lsrge and generous donations apart, Detroit baa done more than tbe State of New York. Surely, it is time for New York to act. Recent advices from Kanaas,reeeived in this city, indieate that tbe result of tbe re cent election, although it has greatly dis appointed the Free State men, and propor tionately elated their opponents,has nerved the resolution, instead of "crushing" tbe hopes, of our gallant friends in the Terri tory. Jab. Rxdpath. Lawrence, Oct 30, 1S56. "But aid has reached us. Tbe large streams of Eastern benevolence have found their way into our very midst, tnd thou sands are being msde glad. Had I time, 1 could give you some incidente showing tbe good being done,and how brave hearts, who could meet tbe enemy at any odds sgaiost them, and maintain tbeir ground, now melt as they receive what they so much need."

Tell our friends to send few hundred blankets, and si many good stout shoes ss they like. Tbey will be useful at all times ; but if sent at once will, I think, come through before tbe close of navigation.'' Useful Hints. Buckwheat Cakes. Wehave printed in this part of our paper several times tbe faet that buckwheat meal make very much better cake by being composed of one fourtb of good oatmeal. Thus: With every three bushels of buckwheat grind one bushel of bright, heavy oats, as if it were all buckwheat This meal gives a erust and ligbtneee to tbe eakes, adding much to tbeir quality and wholesomeness. Tight Barns are an item of great im portance for the health and oorofort of cat lie, and for the easy conscience of owners. If you would reet well in the scro nights of January, make provision to shelter all the stock upon your farm. Cracks should be battened, and tbe barn be made so tight, that ventilation at the top will be necessa ry. It takes much less bay and provender to winter cattle in a warm stable, and they came out sleek and fat in the spring. Ridoi tour Gardens. Tbe frost will do a good work for your sub;oil, if you will give it an opportunity. The ridges may be made with a heavy plow or with tbe spade. Ground that is wanted for early crops, should be manured before ridging. .Make tbe ridges at least two feet high ; let them be as close together as is possible with that depth. The subsoil will be pulverized by the frosts,and will receive some ammonia from the snows aod winter rains. Gatberiso Leaves. They lie now frequently in heapa and rows, in the cor ners, and under tbe walls,where tbey may be easily secured. Soon tbe winds will scatter them, or the snows will cover tbem aod tbey will be lost Leaves are among the best fertilizers within tbs reach of tbe farmer. Tbey are good bedding for cattle, good in the compost beap, and not bad in tbe spring. Save all within your reach. Liquid Manure. Mr. Webster adop ted the following plan at his farm in Marsh- field. The planks composing the floor of the stables, were laid about an inch apart, and so arranged as to be easily taken up. Beneath this floor about two feet of mack or loam wa placed, which effectually ab sorbed every drop of tbe urine, and fur- Charcoal is a very excellent assistant in the fattening of Turkeys and other do mestic fowls. Pulverise and mix with food, and let broken pieces lie in their way. Carrots, raw, given to horses at the rate of one or two a day, are a good thing, and aid in giving them glossy coats. Many horses are fed too much. Over feeding gives them disease, and shortens tbeir lives. Hard-wood saw-dust is good to preserve apples in, provided tbe apples are put iu sound, and do not touch each other. The Right of Suffrage in Virginia. Virginia is ons of the States of the Re public, theoretically admits universal suf frage. In practice, however, it appears that this right must be exercised according to tbe prevailing State sentiment, or a man is in danger of his life. A Mr. Tim othy Stannard, recently, at Norfolk, gave a vote fer Fremont, which, when proclaim ed by the inspector, as is tbe custom in that State, waa refused by that officer, aod the voter had to leave tbe State for fear of mob violence. Virginia must bsve been taking a lesson in popular suffrage from Louie Napoleon, who only allowed such votes to be given as were in favor of himself.
