the ful!owing testimony in favor of Hunt's
Liniment- My grandson, Clarke E.
Evans, who is now ten years of age, has
been for the last eight years a cripple, caus
ed by falling from a chair when he was two
years old, and wrenching his spine. From
the time of the occurrence, we have tried
every means to restore him to his natural
Shape, but all without avail. We took hint
to New York and placed him under the
tare of a physician of skill, and after re•
rosining there some time, we brought him
home no better than when we took him
there. For several days at times he was
so helpless that he mid only walk by plac
ing his hands upon his knees for support,
giving him the appearance of a deformed
hunchback. Ile:was also taken to Newburg
and prescribed fur without any better suc
cess. At times lie would be strong enough
to go out doors, but atter playing an hour
would come in perfectly exhausted, and for
1 severest days would be again perfectly help.

Rome, June ID, 1840.
The nine days' funeral honors rendered to the
deemed Pope were concluded on the lath by a
Latin eulogy, delivered by 13ishop Rosani. Tour
days previous, the body had been removed to thii
vaults, and a magnificent temporary mausoleum
erected in the centre of St. Peters directly under
the dome. It was at least forty feet high, and en
difTernnt gradations were scores of lighted wax can
dles, paintings representing the principal events of
his life, and statues emblematical of what it should
have been, for Temperance and Justice had promi
nent places. On the sides were Latin inscriptions,
that towards the door reading thus:

Meanwhile a large body of workmen had put up
a board fence, at least fifteen feet high, around the
apartments in the Quirinal Palace, to be occupied
by the Electoral College of Cardinals, and built up
the outside windows with bricks and mortar, su as to
effectually prevent all communication. The 14th
was cold and rainy, yet a large concourse assembled
at the church of St. Sylvester to see fifty-one Car
dinals start in proem Bien, proceeded by the papal
crucifix, and escorted by a large military force, all
the clergy chanting the anthem Vent, Creator.
After they had taken possession of the apartments
destined to be their prison until after the election
was consummated, the diplomatic corps were ad
mitted to make their foul communications. and it
is trait! that Count Rossi declared, in the name of
his master Louis Philippe, that the French Gov
ernment would in no care use their veto, for they
were powerful enough not to require it; but at the
same than he impressed upon the minds of the
Cardinals the troubled elate of Italy, and warned
them that an unwise choice tnight call in the Aus
trian and French troops. At ten o'clock a bell
was rung as a signal of departure; at half past ten
the muster of ceremonies walked through the corri
dors, warning all of who remained, with atm
omnes, and at eleven the door was closed, the keys
being in the possession of the meridian of the con
clave, commanding a guard of 2,000 men.
The provisions of the imprisoned Elector. were
carried to the door, end passed in by a revolving

that en election had been completed, while the re
volving drawer brought out a suit of the fortunate
candidate's clothes, that his pontifical robes might
be prepared. Now, as all the Cardinals wore the
same dress, the only clue was the size; the shoo
was very small—it was recollected that Cardinal
Gizzi had a tiny foot, and in an hour all Rome knew
that be was Pope, while couriers left to carry the
news to his family.
But there were other Cardinale who had small
feet, and one of them, the Bishop of Imola, had re
received a majority, after several ballottinge. The

christened Johan Maria Mani Ferretti. Inheriting
the title of Count With a handsome fortune, he was
one of the most fashionable young men at Rome;
but, when about twenty-one, was disappointed In
a love affair and took orders. He was placed over
the Tata Giovanni, a charitable hospital folinded
by a master mason fee the.tlestitute members of his
craft, and in the reign of Pius VII. sent on auditor
of the Papal Legation to Chili, being the only Car

largest hospital in Rome, in 18'..7, received the mi

Imola. He was named Cardinal in 1840, and I
must say that I haVe not heard a whisper against
his character.

him two attendants, carrying the fiabelli, or pee•
cockt.feather fans. When he had arrived at the
front of the balcony, he rose up, stretched both his
arms, which until then were crossed upon his breast,
and uttered a prayer, of which the billowing trans
lotion was made by an American prelate:
a May the holy apostles Petet and Paul, in whose
power and authority we place confidence, intercede
for us with the Lord. We ask, through the pray•
era and merits of the blessed Mary, ever virgin, of
the blessed John the Baptist, of the blessed altos=
ties, and all the saints, that the Almighty God may
have mercy upon you, and that, all your stns being
forgiven, Jesus Christ would bring you to eternal
life. May the almighty and merciful Lord bestow
upon you indulgence, absolution, and remission of
all your sins, opportunity of true and faithful re
pentance, hearts ever penitent and amendment of
life, grace, and consolation of the Holy Ghost, and
final perseverance of good works."
a He then extended his right hand in front and
on either side, making the sign of the cross, after
the mention of each of the Trinity, as he continued
a And may the blessing of Almighty God, Father,

remain forever. Amen."
The kneeling crowd received this benediction
with a reverential awe that actually imparted itself
to the spectators, and, take it altogether, it was as
solemn a sight as I recollect to have witnessed.

night was the scene of one of the most bloody and
premeditated murders on record. Jack Reeves, the

It appears Miss Carnahan, or rather Mrs. Cook,
(who is considered as accessory to the murder) had
interfered with Mr. Reeves several tithes at nicht
by crowding the "prompt side of the stage."—
Reeves repeatedly requested her to Rave, and lastly
he said that if ehe did not, he would slap her face.
She complained to her husband, and yesterday Cook
told the managers they must get another prompter
in Reeves' place, as they would not have him to
morrow, for. by G—d he intended to kill him that
night. This remark was not nonce& and last
night when the first piece was over, Cook went
from the box office into the Theatre and made the
attack on Reeves with a large knife. Reeves in de
fending himself had his hand severely cut; finally
Cook stabbed him through the heart; Reeves ex

after the blow. Seine ohe told Mrs. Cook her h.-
band had killed Reeves—she screamed fire,"
which alarmed the audience. Cook rushed into

from Matamoros
MATAMORAS, June 13, 1846.
Ravi nags may be found among the Texas Vol
uuteers, yet the funniest fellow of all is a happy
go-lucky chap named Bill Dean, one of Cheavel•
liar's spy company, and said to be one of the best
"seven up players . ' in all Texas. While at Cor
pus Christi, a lot of us were sitting out in the stoop
of the Kinney House, early one morning, whoa
along carne Bill Dean. He did not know a single
soul in the crowd, although he knew we were all
bound for the Rio Grande: yet the fact that the
regular formalities of an introduction had not been
gone through with. did not prevent his slopping
slicirt in his walk and accosting us. His speech or
harrangce, or ivhatevcr it may bo termed, will lose
much in the telling, yet I will endeavor to put it
upon paper in as good shape as possible. "Oh,
yes," said he, With a knowing leer of the eye, "oh
yes, all gain' down among the robbers en the Rio
Grande, are you ? Fine times you'll have over the

stick in sight big enough to tickle a rattle snafu,
with, let alone killing hint. Just had time to cave
the critter by shootin' hint, and that was all, for in
three minutes longer he would have died a natural
death. It didn't take us long to butcher him, nor
long to cut off some chunks of meat and stick 'cm
on our ramrods, but the cookie' was another mat
ter. I piled up a heap of prairie grass, for it was
high and dry, and sot it on fire, but it flashed up
like powder and went as quick.
But—"
a But," put in one of his hearers, "but how did
you cook your horse meat after that 7"
°How V'
4, Yea how ?"
Why, the fire caught the high grass close by
and the wind carried the flames streaking across
the prairie. I followed up the fire holding my
chunk of meat directly ovet the hottest part of the
blaze, and the way we went it was a caution to any
thing short of a locomotive's (loin's. Once in a
While a little flurry of wind would cone along, and
the fire would get a few yards the start; but I'd
brush upon her, lap her with my chunk, And then
we'd have it again, nip and tuck. You never seed
such a tight race—it was beautiful, '
gg Very well," we've no doubt," ejaculated one
of the listenerri, interrupting the mad wag just in
season to give him a little breath: g' but did you
cook your meat in the end?"
gg Xot bad I didn't. I chased tire d—d fire
d mile dtid a half, the almightiest hard race you
over licet'd tell on, nod never gave it up until I run
her right plump into a wet marsh: there the fire
and chunk of horse meat came out even—a dead
heat, especially the meet."
But wasn't it cooked?" put in another of the
listoneth.
" Cooked !no l—just crusted over a little. Yoe'.
don't cook broken down horse•flcsh very easily, no

witha chunk of it, I don't know which is toughest,

the fire leave me at times, and then to see fife a

ten mile an hour Gildersleeves in the old States.—
But I'm a going over to Jack Haynes' to get a cock

among the robbers on the Thu Grande."
And so saying. Bill Dean stalked oil: I Haw the
chap this morning in front of n Mexican fundu,
trying to talk Spanish with a Creascroind endeavor-
in 4 to convince him that he was a " d—d reb

lovers of fur. had a dvertised that a greased pig
would be let into a ring on Franklin Square, and
that if any man would catch the pig, shoulder him,
and carry him from the ring he should have the
porker, and the thanks of a generous community
for his pains. Of course we went to the pig race,
and found the Square densely crowded with people,
and every window commanding a view of the street
was filled with rosy faces. In a few urinates the
pig was led forth--not a young, sticking pig, as we
in our ignorance had supposed, but an ancient hog
of the feminine gender, apparently "the mother of
many children." Many attempted to shoulder her
hat nearly all gave up the attempt after being well
covered with grease. Piggy trotted round in tri

of the National Intelligencer, speaking of the effect
of Gen. Taylor's victories, soya:
" Before the end of the sitting of the Depteie4
en the 17th inst., two eminent members of the
Chamber (of the opposition.) went to Versailles,
whore I then was, to congratulate me on the Rio
Grande occurrences, and to describe the effect of
the intelligence on the Chamber. Lively satisfac
tion pervaded the issentbly; most of the Conserv

of the colleagues, and a few of his party, the near

disconcertion served to amuse the rest. It was ad
ded by my visitors that should war between the U.
States and I:lngle:id ensue, twenty thousand French
volunteers, under the command of experienced
officers, would at once endeavor to reach your
shores for the purpose of joining in the inters., ion
of Canada. This does not pass from no en an in
citement to war, which I deprecate as much as any,
under the proper reservco of honor and right; but
it is meant as evidence of the disposition of the
French in general. They are far from being rec

inquired of his wife if there was any milk in the

He examined, but could clod nono; returning to

After a second unsuccessful search he went to

and when the buds of the current. year's
growth are somewhat plump, and the
young wood is growing firm. young
stocks in the nursery, if thrifty, are usual
ly planted nut in rows in the spring, and
budded in the same summer or autumn.
Before commencing. you should prt►vide
yourself with a budding knife ah►ut 1#
inches long having a rounded blade at one
end, and an ivory handle terminal ing in a
thin rounded edge called the liaft, at the
other.
In choosing your buds, select thrifty
shoots that have, nearly done growing, and
prepare what is called a slick of buds by
cuttin g elf a few of the imperfect I4da at
the lower, and st.ch as miy yet bc too soft
at the upper ends, leavilig . only smooth
well-developed single 1.'0,13; double bus 6
being fruit buds. Cut off the leaves allow
ing about half an inch of the foot-stalks to
remain for conveniently inserting the buds.
Some strands of bass matting
_about tSI or
1-i inches Log, previously soaked in water
to render them stilt and pliable, (or its the
absence of these ion woollen yatn.) must
also be at hand for tying the buds.
Shield or 1' budding is the most ipproi•
ed mode in all countries. A new variety
of this method now generally practiced its
this country, are shall describe first, as be
ing the simplest and best mode for frt.if
trees.
American Shield Budding.--1 - laying
your stick of buds ready, choose a,smootb
portion of the stock. When the latter is
small, let it be near the ground, and if
equally convenient, select also. the north
side of the stock, as less exposed.. to the
sun. Make an uptight incision in the bark
from ar, inch to an inch and a halt Jong,
and at the top of this make a cross cut, so
that the whole shall form aT. From the
Stick of buds, your knife being very ,sharp,
cut a thin, smooth slice of wood and bark
cCutatoir, a bud. With.the ivory halt
. 4)1
your bud ding knife now raise the bark on
each side of the incision just wide enough
to admit easily the prepared bud. Taking
hold of the toot stalk of the leaf, insert
the bud under the bark, pushing it gentiS,
down to the bottom of the incision. , If the
upper portion of the bud projects above
the horizontal part of the T. cut it stnooth
ly 011 now so that it may completely fit.—
A bandage of the soft matting is now tied
pretty firmly over the whole wound, cora;
mericing at the bottom. and leaving, the
bud and the loot stalk of the leaf only ex
posed to the light and air.
After treatment.--In two tiveks alter
the operation you will be able to.se,e wheth
er the bud has taken by its plumpnesi and
freshness. 1f it has failed„you may, it
the batk parts readily, make another
trial; a clever budder will not loose over
six or eight per cent. If it has succeeded . ,
after a fortnight or more has elapsed the
bandage must be loosened, or if the stock
has swelled much, it
,should be re moved
altogether. When budding has been per
formed very late, we have occasionally
found, it an advantage to leave the band•
age on during the winter.

Coon FourrnoyanT.--The most adint •

ever. heard of occurred ip, thi ton a few
days since. Three Irishmen were map

of the street, rushed out, and calling to
those who were rescuing the poor fellows,

in here. I have every thing ready.

men were carried into her house, and true
enough. she had every thing ready," band
ages, lint, 'satiation', and all. If this be
not an instance of coo! forethought, we
