• vjy. PLAIN DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING GOOD BITTER. AS PRACTICED IX PENNSYLVANIA. To sav nothing of the subject itself, the signature of what follows would be sufficient to attract for the article the careful attention of every housekeeper, and especially of every butter-maker. Between good butter, and butter that is simply not good, there is as much difference as between genuine and counterfeit money ; between an easy, well bred man, from nature and associations, and the vulgar million aire, who, because he can buy anything else, thinks he can buy good breeding; but do what he will, the ears ivill stick out. Some good butter-makers in Pennsylvania prefer a cool well-ventilated dry cellar, to a spring-house, for a dairy. The danger is, in such a case, that in stead of keeping the cellar strictly and exclusively for that use, they will make a convenience of it for other things ; for keeping vegetables, cold meat, <fcc., the least odor of which will affect the butter. Others again maintain, that in the process of clean ing the butter of milk, there can be harm in the use of very pure and cold water ; nor would there seem to be any harm in resorting to that obvious ex pedient for accelerating that process, were it not for the danger of the indolence, or want of attention of the dairy women, in completely working the water out again, to the very last drop ; for, as here recom mended the complete expulsion of the last drop of milk is indispensable in the preparation of sweet but ter, unless it be butter to be taken directly from the churn to the table, and there consumed at once. This communication, with which we have been kindly favored by Miss Leslie, supplies a desideratum we have long been wanting (/. e.,) the process follow ed in the neighborhood of Philadelphia, where, say what they may, is to be found the best butter in the United States. About Baltimore, they seem to understand the method, as well as anywhere, so far as depends on dairy operations ; but after all, it is not to denied that there is richness and a pure, fresh high flavor, in the butter from the best dairies around Philadel phia, not elsewhere to be met with. Finally, it may be well to state that although the cream may be left to get sour before churning, it should always be taken from the milk before the milk sours. — The Plough , the Loom and the Anvil. DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING BUTTER. “Wash your milk-pans carefully every morning and every evening ; and after each washing scald them with boiling water, and let the water stand in them till it gets cold, then pour it out, and wipe the pans dry with a clean cloth. Let them stand all day in the hot sun; fill them all with cold water a bout half an hour or more before milking-time, and do not pour it off till you are ready to use the pans. The best of all milk-pans are those of thick glass, and the next best art of white ware. Common brown earthenware is too porous, though it is very generally used. All milk-pans should be broad and shallow, that the cream may have more surface for rising to the top. Unless all the kent, perfectly clean, sweet, and eveij£ way ter will never be good. When you have strained the milk into tb place them in the spring-house, setting them down i the water. After the milk has stood twelve hours, im oil’ all the cream and deposite it in a large deep jar, or crock, which must be kept closely cov ered, and stirred with a smooth round stick, at east twice a day, and whenever you add fresh cream to it. The stirring is to. prevent the butter from being injured by the skim that will gather over the urfaee of the cream. The cream must be sour be fore it is churned; but if it is bitter, or has any bad, ancid taste, throw it away, as butter made from it vill be unfit to eat. Always add to the cream crock the stripping of the milk. You should churn at least twice a week ; for if ai red to stand too long, the cream and butter will nost certainly be bad. Have vour churn very efean ; scald it always be you use it; and then rinse and cool it with 1 water. A barrel churn is best; but if you have one or two cows, a common upright churn, and by a dash or stalf, will do very well, train the cream from the crock iuto the churn, put it ou the lid closely. In warm weather, e the dash rather slowly up and down, as churn s too fast will render the butter soft. When you l that the dash moves hurredly and with difficul .ju may know that the butter has come; that hat it has separated from the thin fluid, and gath- I into a lump, which has lodged round the bot oof the dash or staff. It is then unnecessary to , n any longer. In cold weather, the butter is .oh more tardy in coming than in warm weather, hasten it, place the churn near the fire, and oit there all the time you are churning. You iv also in winter accelerate it by taking off the 1 of the churn for a moment, and pouring in a lit boiliug water. Winter butter will be whiter and , rich than that of Spring, Summer .and Autu -m; t, nevertheless, it will if the cows are fed well and ry thing properly managed, be perfectly sweet l good, and far superior for all purposes, and in -el v more wholesome than salt butter put up in Philadelphia markets are well supplied all winter !i plenty of nice fresh butter made iuto pounds and ted. In that city, salt butter is never found on uij any genteel table, at any season. When the cream has been sufficiently churned, and the butter all collected in the centre, take it out with a short-handled, shallow wooden ladle, and put ;to a clean wooden dish or pail, or a small tub. “Squeeze and press it hard with the ladle, to get out .ill the milk that remains in it, which, it lett in, will ■ow cause the butter to spoil. Add a very little ilt, and then squeeze and work it for a long time. _-t it in cool place for three horn’s, and then work it er again, squeezing and pressing it as hard as you A table with a marble top will be found ot at advantage in working and making of butter, eigh it, and make it up into separate pounds, ao >thing and shaping each pound handsome, and inping the top of each with a wooden butter print, n every time in a basin of cold water. Spread a .in cloth on a bench in the spring house. Place a butter upon it, to stand till it becomes perfectly , m and hard. Then wrap each pound in a separate . ce of clean linen, that has been dipped in cold ua uer. Pour the buttermilk into a clean crock, and set it n the spring-house, with a saucer for dipping it out, id keep the crock covered. The buttermilk will be \celient the first day ; but on the second it will be rae too thick and sour, and should be given to pigs r poultry. Winter buttermilk is seldom palatable. Before you put away the churn, wash and scald ■„ well, and the day that you use it again, keep it r an hour or two filled with cold water previous utting in the cream. This receipt for making butter is according to the uethod generally pursued at some of the fc best farm B ,7 ses in Pennsylvania ; and if exactly followed, tbe found very good. If the cows are well fed, badness of the butter will be caused only bv management, such as want of cleanliness, keep ing the cream too long before churning ; neglecting! to work all the milk out of the butter, when made; or to the too common practice of salting it so pro fusely as to render it unpleasant to the taste, and un fit for cakes or pastry. All these causes of bad but ter are inexcusable, and can easily be avoided. Un less the cows have been to feed where there are bitter weeds or garli<*he milk cannot naturally have any diaagreeable Os course, it is richer when the pasture is fine and luxuriant.— Miss Les lie. €’jje Ikntttrist Smoking a Grizzly Bear. “ Solitaire ” relates the following story told him by an old California miner, of an unexpected meet ing with a grizzly bear. The miner was entirely destitute of means or defence. He was chasing af ter his mule, when he saw the bear coming: “ \ou had better believe, boys, that my skin got moist suddint—thar waren’t no dry diggins under my red shirt, long afore that grizzly got down the hill. The infarnal mule no sooner seed me than she just wheelen round and put me at ween her and the bar, and stood off to see of I wouldn’t lick him about as easy as I used to whale her when she got stubborn. Old grizzly drawed up, when lie seed me, and gin to roll his old barrel head about, and grunt, as es 1 was mor’n he bargain’d for; and IVI jest giv en him that mule easy, to Lev got off square. As the fellers say at monte, he was a lay out I didn’t want to bet on. “ I commenced backin’ out, and wanted make it a draw game; but he keptshuffln’ up to me, and any feller who had been close to his head, would hev gin his whole pile jest to get a chance to cut. I con sidered my effects—that pan, rocker and a crow-bar —jest as good as ministered upon ; and almost felt the coroner sittin’ on my body. I stuck my hands iuto my pocket to see if there warn’t a knife about me, and I pulled out half a dozen boxes of Lucifer Matches, that had just been bought that afternoon. I don't know what put it into my head, but I sot a box blazin’, an’ held it out towards old grizzly, and I reckin you havn’t often seen two eyes stiek out wus ser than his did then, lie drew back at least ten yards, and settin’ the box down on the airth, I jest moved off twenty yards in tothcr direction. The bar crept up to the lucifers and took a smell, and if ■ the muscles of my jaws hadn’t been so tight with fear, I’ve had busted into a reg’lar snort of laughin,’ at seein’ how he turned up his nose and sniffled.- The next minit he retreated at least fifty yards ; and then I sot lire to another box of the lucifers, and — boys, dar you b’lieve it—he gin to back out! As soon as I felt I had him skeert, I didn’t keer a cuss I for a whole drove of grizzlys. I jerked out another box of lucifers, teclied it off, and let out the most unairthlv yell that ever woke these diggins, and the way that bar broke into a canter ’ud hev distanced any quarter nag in Christendom—he jest semed to think that anything that could fire up as easy, and smell as bad as me, war rather a delicate subject to kick up a row with. As lie was gettin’ over the hill, I fairly squeeled out laughin’ and I’ll swar if that impedent mule—which was standin’ behind me— didn’t snicker out, too! 1 looked for a rock to hit her—instead of ketchiu’ her to ride to camp —and the ungrateful critter sot right off in a trot, and left me to walk. I made short time at ween that ravine and my tent; for I was awful feer’d that my grizzly was waitin’ some place to take a second look at me, and might bring a few older varmits along to get thur opinion what kind oferittur I vvur. “ All, boys,” said he, in conclusion, “ Providence has helped me a scrape; hut_ it warnt invi'i'.Ud^^^Ri'tuiic Marches, thar would hev been an end to this critter,’ and the verdict would hev been- -Died of a Griz zly ■nHEßVivaaiißDa Facetious. —A short time after the arrival of the ship Mary Anne into one of the Liverpool docks, one of the officials connected with it sent over a mes senger to the Custom House, with the astounding information that the landing waiter had omitted examining the trunk cf one of the passengers. A landing surveyor was immediately sent over to the dock to discharge the necessary duty, who on arriv ing at his destination, asked to see the passenger’s trunk, upon which he was gravely referred to the ‘ ‘‘elephant” which the vessel had brought over for the Regent’s Park Zoological Society. The sur veyor good-humoredly laughed at the joke, and ac knowledged himself fairly “sold.” Witty.— A Mississippi paper arges that Louisiana has a perfect right to secede from the Union if she pleases, and establish an independent government of her own, but that, if she were to secede, she would have no right to shut up the mouth of the Mississippi. Now, if Louisiana were an independent power, the mouth of the Mississippi would belong to her ; it would be her mouth—and wouldn’t sbe have a right to shut her own mouth V’ The Yankee and the Lawyer. —A native of tlie United States, (says the Montreal Herald,) some time ago, having employed a lawyer in this city to do some business for him, was leaving his office without offering him a fee, when the lawyer observ ed, “My good sir, you should give me a fee ; you should act towards your lawyer as you do toward your horse—you should give him a feeding at start ing, if you wish him to perform his journey.” “ Well, squire,” answered Jonathan, “I always use my lawyer as I do my hogs; when I want them to go to the other end of the yard, I put the feed there, and they gallop to it.” The answer was so ready and drolly delivered, that the lawyer galloped (like the hog) to his feed, and was well fed by bis client.

Two hnr.drcd and thirty Cadets, from fifteen different States, have entered this Institution since it was organized, in 1817. It is entire ly free from the control or domination of any sect or party, either po litical or rclk’ious. Economy in dress, by the adoption of a cheap Uniform, for Winter and Summer, .s rigidly enforced. Every studetn is required to select a College guardian, with whom all funds brought or received must be deposited,and no debt must be contracted without of Mich guardian. An Institution combining the science of the West Point Academy and of Polytechnic Institutes, with the classical lit erature of our best Colleges, adding the modern languages, and superadding practical schools of Law and Engineering, nearly realizes the long-felt desider ation of a university able to meet the wants of Western progress—a university where ail may select a course of steady to suit their time, means ond professional destination. Mr. Daviess, the Professor of Law, is known is the various Courts as a practitioner of great ability, varied learning, long exjieri ence and exalted character. His eminent qualification*, the whole some exercise and discipline of the Institute, and the convenient ob servation of the forms of judicial proceeding, oiler unusual induce ments to those who are earnest to achieve distinction as sound Lawyers CIVIL ENGINEERING Will be thoroughly and practically taught in the Western Military In stitute —the Professor, Col. Moruan, being one of the most skillful and experienced Engineers in the United states. All the instrusneniscon nectcd with that department, have been procured at considerable cost, and are of the best quality. f The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating that he is now ofler edS7s per month, for competent assistant Engineers. One of his foi tner pupils receives at this time $2,500 per annum,as Principal En gineer of a Railroad now under construction in Kentucky—whilst others of the same class are receiving in different parts of the United States, $2,000, 51,500, or $1,200 a year as Assistant Engineers. The time is rapidly approaching when there will he a great demand for such as have been prepared for that vocation, at the Western Mil itary Institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying that they will readily command $1,200 or $1,500 per annum. Every man of observation must see that the gigantic enterprises already proposed, will give birth to hundreds of others, tributary to them. The rapid advancement o onr whole country, and the eagerness of our people, for exploring the hidden resources of the new States and the newly acquired territory, will give ample scope for ages to come, to the skill and enterprise of jthe Engineer, the Geologist, the Mineralogist, the Surveyor and the Architect. A'oung men who have an aptitude for the Mathematical and Physical sciences will have a wide field opened to them for enga ging in an honorable, a healthful and a lucrative pursuit, for which they may be thoroughly and practically qualified, in a short time, and usmall expense, ut the Western Military Institute.

Thomson, yi. n,, MACON, GEORGIA. IT'OIt a period of over thirteen years, it has been the province of . the undersigned, to present to the people of Georgia, and the surrounding States, the results of the use of innocent Vegetable Medicines, in the treatment and cure of disease, as contradistinguished from poisonous substances, to which from childhood, they have been accustomed, and to whose pernicious effects upon the constitution, many ofthem are living witnesses. Tiie success which during this long series of years, has attended his administrations, has, in many instances, been such, as to over come the most inveterate prejudices in favor of (lie >ld order of tilings, and to produce instead thereof, a conviction that even in medicine, as in other brandies of tiie physical sciences, new idea* may be advanc ed, and results achieved, that onr ancestors would have deemed im possible, but which out posterity, thanks to the enlightenment of a coming age, may find easy of accomplishment. This sueeeds in curing diseases of the most hopeless character after aloither means had failed, and that too, in many instance.', without sto ingthr patient , has long been the subject of general remark, exhibiting as it does, in bold relief the difl'erenee between restoring and case that lias been absolutely abandoned, and simply raising another, that hun dreds of others could cure. Such cases can be pointed out in almost every county in Gect-ia, where some poor, decrepid, helpless being, after testing every W al means without avail have sent off, as a dernier resort, a deserf on of their diseases to a distance, in many instances hundreds of n.,les, and received back those health restoring remedies that have restored ‘ them again to health and to society, to ttieir own astonishment and their neighbors wonder, putting at naught the timers of antagonistic interests, and adding new linger posts at every post off.ee and cross roads, pointing the way the city of refuge. Without subjecting hinreil to the charge of presumption, he would yet boldly say, that iie firmly believes that nine-tenths of the so called incurable cases in Georgia, are yet within the reach of medicine.and can be cured by pursuing a proper course of medication, with tiie ex ercise of necessary cate and perseverance, on the part of the patient, which in all cases of a lingering character, are ofthe last importance. The great facilities for this kind of treatment presented in the cheap postage system, has been taken advantage of by thousands who ba;>- pily can indirectly attribute their present good health to that noble spe cimen of liberal government; and there are thousands more who mey reap the same advantages, by simply pursuing a similar course. Let the ailiicted if he cauuol write himself, get his neighbor to do it i.,r hiui, give a history of lie, case, age, habits, and symptoms, the same as if tulhj'.is to a phys./ian. If able and it is convenient, enc. se tfie'fce ; ril just then, a due bill for the ii in muii i answer, s tin sue.-me .times of unking eec.r..nts at i re : distances.) and if ,u.t able, pre-jiay and ma i the letter to his adJre.-s. when medicines suitable to the case will be compounded and si at with full directions. The charge for treatment is only (§5.) five dollars, monthly, a sum sufficiently small to obviate the fear of risk to any one, and yet suffi cient to preserve him from loss iu his extensive administrations. This done, call at the post office in a reasonable time, and receive your medicines with as.much precision as you woukl a letter; pre- ; pare and use them as directed, and persevere; report progress month- j ly, or oftener, as may be necessary, and closely watch the progress of I the cure. Having been long and extensively engaged in the treatment of dis eases peculiar to females, lie would say that they may avail them selves of his knowledge, with the utmost confidence, in his prudence and integrity, so that in writing out their symptoms, they may express themselves with the accessary freedom, lu some of the diseases of the renal and procreative system, the medicines being more costly, the charge will tie increased. • s ‘ch cases as require, personal attention, will be treated or. libera terms in the city, where the necessary accommodations can always be bad. Those wishing further informs*, on in regard to results, will address ; a post-paid letter to the untlersig r_- . who will immediately mail to I the applicant such documents as iu-.vi disarm doubt. M. £?. THOM SON, M. D. 1830„e* 12—ly BROWS ECCENTRIC PROGRESSIVE POWER PRESS. THE advantages of this new I*o VVER PUESB, and its superiority over all others, are as follows: The power applied is multiplied 410 times, by the Lever and Eccen tric pully, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to the Lever will exert a force 24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of the bale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may lie put as near the Gin House as is desired. ,1 1 is three times rs powerful as a screw of 18 inches and ameter, that nine inch pitch of thread with the same length of Lever, and of cosvse the horse has to walk hut one third as far, for the reason that a lever is required hut one-third as long to do the same work. And further, the Press follower descends j.yith much greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, wheq hut little power is required, which shortens the distance travelled by” the horse, in proportion to the increased velocity of the follower at the start. This Press can be made very compact, and equally powerful, by using the wheel and axle, and can be so modified as to answer any purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic purposes, l'or Cotton it requires onr-fwrth less work to build, and Ihrci-fourtAr less work to raise, than the screws, and if a cast iron Ec centric wheel is used, it will not be much over hedf the xorh to build as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, kc. it cannot be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the crew, audit is certainly the cheapest ever built. The whole cost of the Irons will not exceed 845, which may be had oft'. 11. Levy, ofMacon, who is the only person autliosizedto furnish hem. This smn is exclusive of freight and the cost of right to use i the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, the cost will be 10 or§ls more for the Iron work, but it will materially lessen the cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and will be the cJieais est in the end. Any good Mechanic eanconstruct the Press from the drawings and specifications which will accompany each right. I shall sell a single right at 310, which turn can be sent by mail at my risk, provided the fact of sending is certified to by the Postmaster of the place where the letter is mailed. Each right will be accompa nied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will be able to huiid the Tress. Any communications, post-paid, will be punctually attended to. *'• BROWN. Clinton, Jones County, April 2d, 1850. —C ortiflcate. — This will certify that we witnessed, at the plantation of Mr. VVil liam Johnson, in this county, the performance of a Cotton Press re cently invented and patented by Mr. A.D.
