Peter Cartwright was born Septem ber, 2, 1785, in Amherst County, in the State of Virginia. His father waa a revolutionary soldier. Shortly after his Lnrth his parents removed to Ken tucky, then an unbroken wilderness, over which emigrants moved on pack horses. When Peter was nine years old Jacob Lurton, a traveling preacher, held religious services in his father’s cabin. This Lurton he styles a "real son of thunder. He preached with great power, and the congregation were almost melted to tears.” A small class was soon organized in the neighborhood. This little society was visited by a “mighty revival” in *1799, and a church was built, called Ebr.ne zer. This was in what was then called Cumberland Ci cuit, and Kentucky District in the Western Conference, the seventh conference in the United States. Logan County, where the Cart wrights lived, was called the "Rogues’ Hurbor.” Refugees from all parts of the country, tied thither to escape jus tice. Murderers, horse-thieves, high way robbers, and counterfeiters actu ally formed a majority of the inhabi tants, and were able to set law at de fiance. The honest people, under the name of Regulators, combined togeth er and formed a vigilance Committee for the execution of the laws. It was in such a desperate state of society that Peter Cartwright’s boyhood was passed. "I was naturally,” he says, “a wild, wicked boy, and delighted in horse-racing, card-playing, and danc ing. My father restrained me but lit tle, though my mother often talked to me, wept over me, and prayed for me, and often drew tears from my eyes: and though I often wept under preach ing, and resolved to do better ami seek religion, yet I broke ray vows, went into young company, rode races, played cards, and danced.” Gamb ling became his besetting sin. At length, about the beginning of the present century, Logan county be came more civilized. Murderers and horse-thieves disappeared, and preach ing became more frequent. About this time the Cane-ridge camp-meeting was held — a meeting protracted for weeks, and attended by from 12,000 to 25,000 people. Preachers of all de nominations were present, and be tween them one and two thousand souls were converted. This was the first camp-meeting ever held in the United States. It was about this time (1801,) that Peter was converted, and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church. The following incident illustrates the ignoranee with which the early Methodist preacher in the Vest had to contend. The Rev. Wilson Lee, prf aching in Peter Cartwright’s neigh borhood, took for Ids text, "Except a man deny himself, and take up his cross, he cannot be my disciple.” He urged on bis congregation with melt ing voice and tearful eyes, to take up the cross; no matter what it was, take it up. He made a very profound im pression upon a very wicked Dutch man in his congregation, whose wife was a notorious scold. After dismiss ing the meeting, Mr. Lee mounted his horse and rode away. After riding some distance, he saw, a little ahead of him, a man trudging along carrying a woman on his back. This greatly surprised Mr. Lee. He very naturally supposed that the woman was a criple, or had hurt herself in some way, so that she coaid not walk. The traveler was a small man, and the woman large and heavy. Before he overtook them, Mr. Lee began to cast about his mind how he could render them assistance. When he came up to them, 10, and behold, who should it be but the Dutchman and his wife that had been so affected under his sermon at meeting. Mr. Lee rode up and spoke to them, and inquired of the man what had happen ed, or what was the matter, that be was carrying his wife. The Dutchman turned to Mr. Lee and said, "Besure you did tell *us in you sarmon dat we must take up de cross and follow de Saviour, or dat we could not be saved or go to heaven; and I does desire to go to heaven so much as any pody; and dish vise is so pad, she scold and scold all de time, and dish woman is de greatest cross I have in de world, and I does take her up and paie her, for I must save my soul.” In May, 1802, Peter Cartwright was permitted bo exercise his gift as an exhorter. In the fall hi» father mov ed down the Cumberland into I*ewis ton County. Here Presiding Elder Page gave Peter authority to travel through that destitute region, and hold meetings, organize classes, and, in a word, to form a circuit. Consid ering his education defective be enter ed the best school to be found in the neighborhood, where he stayed for a short time; and then went into the ac tive work of the ministry. Iu 1808 he was ordained a deacon by Bishop Asbury. He was married to Frances Gaines August 18, 1808, and the fol lowing October was ordained an elder by Bishop M’Kendree. In 1813 be was appointed by Bishop Asbury pre siding elder of the Green River Dis trict, in Tennessee. From that time to the present day the Rev. Peter Cartwright has lived and wrought in the West with characteristic energy, and his labors have been attended with memorable succesa "I have liv ed,” he says, in his autobiography, "to see this vast Western wilderness rise and improve and become wealthy with out a paralell in the history of the world; I have outlived every member of my father’s family; I have outlived every member of the class I joined in 1800; I have outlived every member of the Wester a Conference in 1804, save one or t,vo; I have outlived eve ry member of the first General Con ference that I was elected to, in Balti more, in 1816, save five or six; I have outlived all my early bishops; I have outlived every presiding elder that I ever had when on circuits; and I have outlived hundreds and thousands of my cotemporary ministers and mem bers, as juniors, and still linger on the shores. Though all these have died, they shall live again, and by the grace of God I shall live with them in heaven forever. Peter Cartwright, in his ionrneys upon various circuits in the W«*t, met with many very pocuKur characters.— And, as he himself was very eccentric, these encounters led often to very amusing results. He tells the follow ing anecdote of thfe conversion of two young ladies, whose mother was the terror of all preach ers. He was warn ed not to visit tl em, but determined to go. The reception given him by the old lady was anything but iuviting, she even ordered him to take the door. He told her he had come to talk and pray with her two daughters. She said he should not pray in her house, and shaking her fist in his face she again ordered him out. The con est listed for some time. The busbaud was a poor henpecked man, and she reigned supreme. At last, telling the woman to be seated, he kneeled to pray. He kept one eye open, for he had to watch ns well as pray. In his prayer he gave a description of the woman anything but flattering. He invoked the Almighty to love her, if possible, and do it quick. But if there was no salvation for her, he prayed to God, to kill her, and damn her at once. Afterwards he met her, and found her a changed woman. Os course Peter Cartwright was a Jacksonian ic politics; but the follow ing incident that occurred in connec tion with the meeting of the Nashville Conference, in 1818, showed he was not scared by even "Old Hickory."— "The city preacher," he says, "inform ed me tii at I w.is to preach on Mon day evening in Dr. Blackbonrn's •hurch, and charged me to be sure and liehave myself. I made him ray best bow, ami thanked him that ho bad given me any appointment at all; and assured him I would certainly behave myself the best I could. ‘And now,’ said I, ‘Brother Mac, it really seems providential that you have appointed me to preach in the Doctor’s church, for I expect they never heard Metho dist doctrine fairly stated and the dog mas of Galvanism exposed; and now, Sir, they shall hear the truth for once. Said the preacher, ‘You must not preach controversy.' I replied, ‘if I live to preach there at nil, I’ll give Cal vanism one riddling.’ ‘Well,’ said the preacher, ‘I recall the appoiutineut, and will send another preacher there; and you must preach in the Metho dist church Monday evening; and do try and behave yourself.’ ‘Very well,’ said I; ‘l’ll do my best.’ “The preacher’s conduct toward me was spread abroad, and excited consid erable curiosity. Monday evening j came; the church was filled to over flowing; every seat was crowded, and many had to stand. After singing and prayer, Brother Mac took his seat in the pulpit. I then read my text: ‘What shall it profit a man if be gaiu the whole world and lose his own soul ? After reading my text I paused. At that moment I saw General Jackson walking up the aisle; he a roe to the middle post and very gracefully leaned against it and stood, as there were no : vacant seats. Just then I felt some one pull my coat in the stand, and turning my head, my fastidious preach er, whispering a little loud, said, ‘Gen end Jackson has come in; General Jackson has come in.’ I felt a flash of indignation run all over me like un J electric shock and facing about to my j congregation, and purposely speaking | audibly, I said, ‘Who is General Jack- j son ? If he don’t g*;t his soul convert- j ed, God will damn him as quick as he i would a Guinea negro!’ “The preacher tucked his head down and squatted low, and would, no doubt, have been thankful for lea*e of ab sence. The congregation, General Jackson aud all, smiled or laughed right out, all at tke paeacher’s ex- the congregation was dismissed, my city stationed preacher stepped up to me, and very sternly said to me, ‘You are the strangest man I ever saw; aud General Jack son will chastise you for your insolence before you leave the city.’ Very clear of it,’said I, '.general Jackson, I no doubt, will applaud my course; and if he should undertake to chastise me, as Paddy said, there is two as can play at that game.* "General Jackson was staying at one of the Nashville hotels. Next morning very early, my city preacher went down to the hotel to make an i apology to General Jackson for my conduct in the pulpit the night before. Shortly after he had left I passed the hotel and I met the General on the pavement, and before I approached him by several steps he smiled and reached out his ha.id, and said; "Mr. Cartwright, you are a man .if- j ter my own heart lam much sur , prised at Mr. Mac, to thiuk he would \ suppose that I would be offended at I you. No, Sir; I told him that I high- j ly approved y >ur independence; that a minister of Jesus Christ ought to love everybody and fear no mortal man. I told Mr. Mac that if I had a few thousand such independent, fear less officers as you were, and a well drilled army, I could take old Eng land.” George Peabody, the great philan thropist, is dead. Nearly all the New York papers of the sth contain obitua ry articles Tke Itewllcked Farm- AN INTERESTING STORY. We often hear of haunted houses and bewitched places. Most of those stories originate from some simple matter if it is carefully examined. Some years ago a gentleman went to visit a friend named Tred dock, in the country, and found him in great per plexity, in consequence of a series of very mysterious goings on, by which he had been put to a great annoyance and loss. The first incident was the finding of three or four geese dead, with their heads wholly or partly Beveied, as if the necks had bet n cut by some jagged instru ment. On the following afternoon, the fine mastiff dog. kept in a kennel at the end of the house, was discovered lying at the lull length of his chain, beaten and bruised to his last gasp.— He bad been heard, some time before, to give two or three sharp, whining barks, and in consequence of the affair of the geese, a servant-girl had looked out instantly. The girl did not, it ap peared, then give any attention to the kennel; and it was not until some half hour afterward that a wagoner observ ed the poor dog stretched ou the ground, moaning and bleeding. The animal had to be shot, to put him out of his misery, and the supposition was that he received his iujuries at the time he Wits heard to bark. It was to be expee'ed that a second such extraordinary occurrence, follow ing so closely on the first, should arouse the duspicions of the household; and in consequence of it, Treddock aud a man servant sat np all that night ou the hearth, in anticipation of thieves break ing into the house, my friend reasoning that the getting rid of the watch dog must indicate an intention of that kind. Rut no such an attempt was made; the gray dawn found nil safe, and the master went to his bed. He was, however, awakened in less than an hour to receive the unpleasant news that one of the cows was hopelessly crippled in the home-field, having two of its legs, a fore and a hind one, on the same side, broken to splinters. Close search was made for foot marks, or for any other clue, and in quiries were also instituted at the ad joining farms, and down at the village, whether any suspicious characters had been seen about the district. No in formation pointing to the offender, m r any solution at all of the mystery was to be obtained. About noon on the third dav, five sheep were missed from tue flock feed ing in one of the meadows, and they were at length discovered, lying scat tered abcut in a hollow; and in this case the aid of the butcher w.as not i-e-: quired, for they had ail been killed out- ; right, each oue by a blow from some : blunt imstrument, delivered on the j back part of tho head. Early on the jnorning of the gentle man s arrival, the family wore aroused by a tremendous crash, aud on des- i cending. they found a window knock- j ed in by two blows, though but one j was heard. A constable was sent for, a good bull dog procured, and watch kept up for the evil doer, but all in vain. A valuable cart-horse was severely in jured; and the next day the dog was found dead, its skull smashed in; but while all were iu anxiety and terror, they were roused by shouts that tho constable was killed. It proved al most so. In a field near the house the poor fellow lay, his head and shoulders in a pool of blood, which streamed from a terrible wound on his head. Mr. Treddock now thoroughly alarmed, ordered his wife to get ready to leave the house. Mrs. Treddock hugged her child to her breast, while she bent over the injured; but she an swered that sh® would not go away, unless Mr. Treddock went with her; everybody, she said, had better go and leave the place to itself. The servants, short as the time was, were bringing boxes down stairs, and one or two had gut their bonnets on. This last hor rible affair, occurring in broad day, had broken down tho courage of every body, and the whole premises having been thrown into coufusiou, no one daring to venture now from one room to another alone. Meanwhile, the con stable continued to breathe, and more; now and then he tossed up his arniM, but seemed to oe quite unconscious.— By-and-by, though the interval seemed cruelly long, the surgeon arrived, and after a hasty examinotion, he pronoun ced that the constable’s head was frac tured in two pieces. He said, as far as he could judge, the blows had been struck with a dull edged instrument. Under the doctor’s instructions, the old man was removed to a couch in another room, which could be kept free from iutrudera Treddock, after making another ef fort, finally succeeded, by the aid of the chorusing woman, in persuading his wife to take the child away from the Grange down iuto the village.— She went up stairs for her own bonnet aud shawl, and for Master Charlie’s hat, aud was shortly fully dressed, and ready to start, A big servant-girl had the baby in her arms, and after he had received the father’s showers of kisse.s, she set out iu advance of her mistress, who turned back for another little tit of hysterical sobbing ou Tred dock’s broad breast. “The black mare—the black mare 1” was the next moment yelled in a score of terrified vocies, and a chatter of hoofs dashed pass the front door, “She has got the child 1” next struck on the ear in horror. Instantly everybody was pouring pell-meU through the doorway, but Tom Treddock's fists, striking right and left iu sudden fury, made for him self the foremost way, his poor star msd wife, however, keeping » dragving | holt of him. But once outside, every j body came to a sudden standstill; the parent* stopped transfixed in wonder ing terror, like every one else. On the other aide of a small pond just beside the house, to the left and through which she must have rush ed, stood a beautiful black mare re cently bought for Mrs. Treddock’s use, with the child hanging from its jaws, held up by the clothes; and just as we all got sight of her, she ducked her head, and dipped the struggling in fant under the water, clearly bodily into the pond. Some men who had been hastening toword her, stopped, amazed at this maueover, and lifting her head, the she-devil stood at bay, white streams of vapor escaping from her nostrils, and her eyes blazing blood red. With a ringing shriek, Mrs. Tred dock ru died toward the pond, and Tom followed her, but once more the devilish creature ducked her head, and plunged the child in the inuddy chok ing water. The mother fell headlong, ami the father stiffened where he checked himself, with his big helpless arms upraised, while everybody remain ed tnotionLss, fascinated with horror. One old woman idone had presence of mind, which afterward shamed all the rest; she rushed back into the house, and a moment 1 iter she thrust a gun into my hands, I happening to be near est, says the visitor who witnessed the strange scene. This broke the spell, I ran for the pond, a wild cry going up from every quarter at the sight of my weapon.— The hellish eyes of the mare met mine, and again she dropped the child to ward the water, but in doing so, she exp sed her neck, and I fired for the junction of the shoulder blade. Al though n sort of darkners instantane ously blinded my eyes, I saw through it that the black mare fell at the edge of the water, where she had stood, and that the child Hooted loose, a white speck upon the surface of t e ponl A moment later, the fiend in hide and hoofs, was dead, and the half drowned infant was rescued, but uot au instant too soon. Tom Treddock staggered to me, but in the act of grasping my hand, tumbled into the arms of those about him. Matters were at last cleared up. It was the black mare which had done all the mischief, end this last horrid act was only the climax which disclosed the mystery. Some men had tried to cat ch her for Mrs. Treddock to ride away, but found her wild and excited: she dashed about so that it took them a long time to hi m her in; and just as they had succeedded to drive her to ward the house, the servunt girl had gone out of doors with the child. She explained that she had put the infant down on his feet on the ground, where he propp'd himself against a sunny wall, wlnl* she arranged her shawl; and at that instant, the devil possessed brute swooped him up in her jaws, and carried him off to the pond in the sight of a score of eyes. It was no less clear, strange as it seemed, that the mare had done all the rest of the hoinbie mis chief. As she lay there, part in the water and part out, blordstains, which seemed to have freshened into recent patches, were discoveted on both hoofs of the fore feet. Her iron shoes were unquestionably the instruments that had inflicttd the constable’s wounds; and they also had beaten out the brains of the dogs, and killed the sheep, broken the legs of the cow. bruised ob the cart horse, and dashed in the win dow. It is said that “apples, if eaten at; breakfuet, wi' h coai se bread and but-1 ter, without meat or flesh, will remove constipation, correct acidities, and cool off' febrile conditions more effectually than the most up roved medicines.— i They prevent debility, strengthen di-; gestion, correct ehe putrifaciive ten dencies of nitrogenous food, avert scur vy and strengthen the power of pro- j ductive labor.” Just so; make splen- ; did vineger, good cider, and pretty fair brandy. Eat 'em agaiu.— Exchange, j There was a man who lived in Caw* county, Georgia, many years ago, \vho i had once been in the State Legislature, j and never neglected an opportunity to i emphasize the fact. He was a sceptic ! as to new discoveries and the new sci ences, being perfectly satisfied that if the world should turn over, all the wa ter would spill oat of his well, and on ly gave in to steam cars by slow de grees. But all the vials of his contempt were poured out upon the idea of a tel egraph, and he was wont to say that nobody need try to come “the green" over him that way, for he had been in the Legislature Finally the State road was built; and one and .y workmen j began to put up telegraj h posts right j in front of his house, and to stretch! the wire. His exultant neighbors i thought they had him on that occa-j sion, aud asked; "Well, old fellow, I what do you think of telegraphs now ?” j He was cornered, but died game.— j Drawing himself up an inch taller, he said : “Gentlemen, when I was in the Legislature I gave this subject my vo- j ry attentive consideration; and I said then as I say now, that it may do for letters and small bundles, but it never w ill take a cotton bale—never I"—Ex change. An ignorant fellow waa about to be married, aud resolved to make himself perfect in the response of the marriage service, but by mistake he committed to memory the office of baptism for those of rijier years : so when the cler gyman asked him in the church, "Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wed ded wife ?” the bridegroom answered in a solemn tone, “I renounce them all!” The astonished minister said, “I think you are a fool;” to which he re used : ‘ All this I *You can do anything if you 1 j. * natience,” Suit! uu old unde, who h <1 made a fortune, to his cowboy, \ o had nearly spent one. “ Water mav bo carnt and in a ficive, if you only wait.* “How long?" naked tho j>etnluut sp*: d* thrift, who was impatient for the old man’s obituary. “Till it fretz was the cold reply. - I had a friend whose liuioe it wus Brown, who wuz given to indulgence in the flowin bole to a fearful extent.

At 11, p. m., I found him clinging to a lamp-post and vomitin ex tho ther wuz a minatoor earthquake into his insides. “Brown,” remarked I, laying my hand effectionatcly onto his shoulder, “Brown, are you sick ?” “Sick !

This method dispenses with the grinding of the wheat, and. it is asserted, will produce 150 pounds of bread from 100 pounds of grain; while by tbe old plan of using flour only 11*2 pounds of bread are produced from tbe 100 pounds of wheat The new kind of bread is said also to be of bet ter quality thun the old, as the gluten is not decomposed and lost by the heat of grinding. The new mode of fermentation, it iB also asserted, con tributes greatly to the whiteness of the bread. •Qb. An anecdote is told of a former Emperor of China, to the effect that walking by tbe side of a wl-entfield, ho saw a stalk of wheat much, larger and riper than the rest of the field, und that he plucked it nnd saved the grains to be sewed, and from it deriv ed a variety of wheat in com Hum use, and thus conferred a great benefit up on hispioplc. When wheat is sown in drills, wa can easily pass through the field and cut into a bn; kefc the bends that nre the plumpest aud first ripe, nnd beat out the grair for seed. In a day's time a careful man might thus collect several peeks of scnl wheat, that would be as much bet.er than the average of the field an t!>e ears of that we select for seed nre better than the average corn of the corn crop. ®*L. Many farmers have an erretio eous notion in regard to the destruc tion of weeds on grass lands. The impression prevails that the only way of getting rid of weeds is to break up and tLoroughly cultivate the gronuil in hoed crops. This is not always tbs convenient, or even the desirable, for in many cases it cannot be done with out breaking up the herd or dairy, while some uneveu surfaces ccnuot be plowed. There is another way of k.ll ing weeds, such as the daisy and that class of plants, by the liberal use of manure and grass seed. We have eradicated white daisy in several in stances by simply applying farm-yard dung and plaster, uinl strewing tho ground with c'over. Establish your clover upon the soil aud feed it until it is luxuriant, aud it just lays hold <>f the daisy and other weeds and chokes the life out of them. Quite a controversy is going on between Dr. F. W. Smith, of Virginia, and Dr. C. K. Marshall as to the right of a certain method by which sweet po tatoes may be preserved by drying.— Tbe method may be new, but the idea is ancient, as many of our “old time” people can testify. Their method in the primitive days was to cut in slices the sweet potatoes, place on a board or pan. near a stove, until the slices became dry and hard; they were then put in a dry place, and used when de sired. The potato cured in this way will keep as well as ship bbc lit, and retain their original sweetness. Let our farmers try the experiment—the work furnishes excellent emyloyment for the long evenings. It is reported that the Postmaster General will recommend the abolition of the franking privilege, or, if that cannot be effected, then a large abate ment of its privileges. He will not find the members of Congress ready to sanction thin proposition. The Masonic Grand Lodge of Geor gia now in session at Macon, have un der consideration the erection in that city of a grand and magnificent Mason ic Temple. The great importance of the coal trade as promoted by the special trains and low freights over the Western and Atlantic Railroad, is evidenced by the fact that one hundi ed and fifty cars are engaged on that road in its transpor tation, and yet cannot supply the de mand at Atlanta. The Constitution says that 200 more cars are needed for coal, and that the rood is building them as fast as possible. Extinguishing Firs Without Wa ter.—The public’s curiosity in relation to the effectiveness of the method for extinguishing fires, proposed by the Empire Fire Extinguishing Company, was gratified by the success of the se cond experimental test at the battery. The building was partially filled with lumber and shavings, and all were sat urated with gasoline. Fire was ap plied, and when well under way, tie carbonic acid gas wan turned on, and the fire was extinguished instantly, A second test was made with a like resul . The officers of the company declare their intention to be to lay pipes and have the extinguisher served to every stole and residence, as i- now the gas we burn. Should the pipes 1 e prop erly laid and the work judiciously managed, there cannot be a doubt tlmt, with carbonic acid gas at command, a disastrous fire would be next to im possible. — N. Y. Sun.
