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

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

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.

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.

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

far as possible from wearing the costly luxuries
and flaunting fabrics of countries who have no
M-mpathy with our American principles or mor-

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 :

humblest walk in life becomes a paradise.
