JEFF MrSO N 1 AN RE P X'hv Great Suit against Philadelphi- uus. U' liavA Viofnro iufnrmPfl nnr renders llial preparations were making lo further a great mt against many properly holders in Philadel phia, grounded on a claim set up by the heirs of the late Mr. Nethermark. The Baton Rogue (La.) Gazelle thus explains the position taken by the heirs. Mr. Nethermark was a wealthy Swede, who settled in Philadelphia before the Revolution, while that city was a comparatively small town. Ho became proprietor of the lands along the nver below the city, and some missionaries of ihe Swedish church, to which he belonged, coming over, he gave them a life lease of this land, on condition that after their death, or in case they apostatized from their church, it should icverl to his heirs. Although four of ihc said missionaries did afterward abandon Uieir faith, and join the Episcopal church, in ronsideration of fifth who remained true to the ause, the lease was not disturbed. In the mean time the city extended down the river, ovcring all the laud in question, and nothing .lonears to have been done, until death closed ' r tvt .1 i- i : rr i fie contract OI lYir. ieuiermarK, oy carrying on Me last of the lessees about six years ago. v..,n flip lattur neriod. the heirs, who are not . iiiibb t i numerous,, and some of whom are wealthy, fiivf been nrenarinsr for the slrusele, and they h...vnnvv nnmmenced suit, under auspices so favorable, that two capitalists of Philadelphia . i . i . n . i. r voluntarily prupu&eu vu ik an iiiu uAjicuaua wi ! .t i i.i i i I fie law, proviueu uiey suuutu ucaunmieu equui ly in the division of the property if the case Micceeueu. mis proposal was ueciwieu uy i i ho heirs, one of whom is our esteemed fellow ! : jwnsman, Captain Reeder. Cornstalk Sugar The Savannah Repub lican states that experiments have been made at Wilmington, N. C, which prove that one thousand pounds of sugar can be obtained from an acre of cornstalks, the saccnarine matter ne- mg three times greater than in beets, and fully eaual to susar cane. We shall be glad if any of our readers will furnish, Through our columns, any important facts upon this subject, which may be calculated to diffuso correctknowledge upon it. A Sleepless Woman. The Salem Observer states thai there is a female in that city suffering from a general muscular contraction and distortion, resembling fa universal tetanus, which has lasted from twelve to fifteen years. The patient who suf fers it has not slept a wink for ten years past, and is subject to occasional fits of extreme ag ony. Her mind is bright and clear, and she is pauent and resigned to her hopeless situation. Great Race. The creat match race on the Long Island course, between Fashion and Boston for $20,- 000 a-side, will come off (says the Herald,) on Tuesday the 10th ofMay, and not on the 16th as has been stated. This race is to settle the great contest between the North and South, and is creating more excitement in the sport ing circles than the celebrated race between Eclipse and Henry. Two hundred thousand dollars have already been staked by the friends Boston and Fashion.--Sat. Chronicle William Pcnn. The erection of a monument 10 William Penn, on ihe site of ihe old Elm Tree, in Kensington, is in contemplation, by a number of members of ihe Society of Friends. The monument will be two hundred feet high, with a square base n( forty feet, and with a flight of steps in the inside, leading from the base to the top. Sat. Chronicle. Here are some of the expenditures for clear ing out the snags of the Mississippi river, viz: Silver watches, 386 dollars; Repairing do., 45 dollars; Hosiery, 23 dollars; Fori Wine, 29 1-4 dollars; Musquito Bars, 120 'dollars, Dividing, 10 dollars; Omnibus tickets, 9 3-4 dollars; Oysters, 5 1-2 dollars. Port wine, oysters, musquito bars and watches are capital at re moving snags, and it is very just and proper that the people should be taxed lo pay ihe ex pense. The Ledger states that last week, a poor woman living in Cohocksink, gave birth lo three children. This is hard luck for such times as the present, but what is still more hard, the fa ther is out of employment. For cases of this kind there should be a fund raised by a tax up on bachelors, and expended by a committee of old maiden ladies. Sat. Chronicle. Something for the ladies. At thd Convention, just holden in New York, in favor of home industry, Dr. Thompson, of Delaware, offered the following resolution, which was adpoicd. The Doctor is an adroit diplomatist we judge, with the Indies, for his appeal to them is placed on their well known tmd acknowledged patriotism. ftcsofved, That, whereas, m limes of public iMNtrc!., afr appeal lo America! females is Hire in uring reiirj to ineir suffering countrymen; and they have a dtfep interest in that security to American interests by the promotion of Home Labor which this convention i assembled to promote, it is now their dirty rfs it is their last ing honor to become temperate in the use of these luxuries, and of foreign fabrics which our country U not allowed lo pay for with its sur plus produce, and cannot afford to run in debt for any longer wjihout iminent risk of ruin to our families; and as they approve of total absti nence of useless and demoralizing ardent spir its, it is expected that they will also abstain as far as possible from wearing the costly luxuries and flaunting fabrics of countries who have no M-mpathy with our American principles or mor- "From the American Farmer. To protect Fmit from late Spring Frost. Sir, Many experiments have been resofled to for the protection of fruit from the flighting influence of late frosts. -Throwing: a sheet over the tree, hanging iron upon it, kindling a fire under it, &c. have each been found to have beneficial influence; but none hare been more efficient than the experiment which I am about to describe. My friend, Major Ruff; who is a virtuoso, lately informed me that many years ago he saw it stated in a French paper, that by throwing a hempen rope over the top of a tree, when in bloom or near the time of blooming, and by let ling its lower end touch the ground, the tree would thus be protected from the influence of the frost. This I thought quite rational and philosophic; 1 according made the experiment. To prove more fully the modus operandi 1 took two dishes half filled with water, and set them a few feet distant, under the tree, on the night before an expected frost, the trees being nearly in full bloom. Throwing the rope over the top of the tree I let the other end hang in the wa ter of one of the dishes the event proved the correctness of the theory. There was a hard frost on the morning of the 27th inst. and the dish into which the rope was deposited, con tained ice to the thicknoss of a dollar, while that in the other dish was scarcely of the thick ness of paper. The philosophy of he above experiment is this: the rope, which, was previously wetted, was a conductor of heat; the air, and of course the limbs of the tree became colder in the night than the earth the rope conducted the heat from the aarth to the tree, thus keeping up an equilibrium and preserving the tree from frost. An old bachelor, at a public festival, lately gave the following sentiment : Woman Lighted by her 6miles of love, the humblest walk in life becomes a paradise. Review of the MarKetf.
