Rule.—Having previously levelled
the corn in the house, so that it will
he of equal depth throughout, ascertain-
the length, depth and breadth of the
bulk ; multiply these dimensions to
gether, and their products by 4—then
cut off one figure from the right of the
last product. This will give so many
busliels.and decimal bushels of shelled
corn, if it be required to find the
quantity of corn in the ears, substitute
8 for 4, and cut off one figure as
before.
Example.—In a bulk of corn in
the ears, measuring 12 feet long 11-
feet broad arid 6 feet deep, there
will be 316 bushels and 8-10 of a
bushel of shelled corn, or 633 bushels
and 7-10 of ear corn— as

TO KEEP BIRDS FROM PICKING
FRUIT.
As the season is coming on for the
depredations of birds, I beg to report
my experience of last year, when I
saved my currants and gooseberries,
by winding colored worsted round and
across my bushes ; and my cherries,
by hanging up several pieces of tin
with strong thread in the different
trees,.two pieces hung near enough to
gether to clash with the wind, which
sound, with the bright reflection of the
tin in the sun, certainly frightened
them away ; and I had my due share
of fruit, which the preceding year I
wasypbliged to relinquish to them.
APPLES
WITHOUT SEEDS OR
CORES.
A correspondent of the Memphis
Whig gives the following recipe for
obtaining apples without eed orcores:
—Take the ends of the limbs of an ap
ple tree, where they hang low, so as
to reach the ground, dig a small hole
for each under the tree, bend it down
mid bury it in the hole, confining it
down so that it will remain. Do this
in the winter, or beginning of spring.
The end of the limb thus buried will
take root and put up sprouts or sci
ons, which, when they become suffi
ciently large to “ set out,” dig up at
the proper season, and transplant them
in the orchard where you wish them
to' ^remain. - " When they get large
enough tj bear.'they will bear apples as
above.

Hancock Man afacturing Company.
The Board of Directors we under

is worked up. Trie present high price
of cotton, and low price of yarns and
homespuns is the ostensible cause of
this movement. We regret it because
of the numbers who will be thrown out
of-employment, with nothing to sus

what makes it worse, is the fact that
other factories are pursuing tne same
course.

Resolved by the General Assembly of

We are requested by the correspon

Hancock, to say that the next annual
Fair of the Club will be held in Sparta
beginning Thursday before the 1st
Monday in November, and continue
the balance of the week. The Premi

mount of near five hundred dollars has
been arranged and will appear in our
next paper. Farmers should be giving
early notice to their crops stock &c,, in
order that they may successfully com
plete for the premiums. A fine wheat
crop has been gathered, and we have
heard a number speaking of the large
heads and full grains of their wheat,
in an exulting way, now who can ex
hibit the finest specimen? Who can
offer a bushel, that will outweigh any
other bushel? Not one that has been

horizontally, with the head only very
little raised.
5.. All the cares and burdens of the

Minerals-
We acknowledge the receipt of sev

als from Dr. Geo. W. Watkins, who by
the way has one of the finest cabinets
in the State. We like to see, a fond
ness for these harmleR and very instruc
tivepursuits. Tiieykeep the mind from
idleness and dissipation during the
hours of recreation, and add much to
ly used snuff. We could but admire
his manly speaking out upon this sub
ject. Let it not be imagined that we
liked what lie said simply because he
was a preacher. If an ecclesiastic ,is a
good man and a gentleman, we take to
him*.- If he is not, we don’t. But the
above were words fitly spoken, and
we admired them on that account.
“ The Annales d v Hygiene of Paris
has published an article pointing out
the danger arising from packing^ suit
in -lead, as the damp in the snuff act
ing on the lead oxydizes it, and forms
a soluble salt of a poisonous nature.
The tobacco administration of, France
has acted on this advice, and discontin
ued the use of the lead envelops.”
Might it not be best to continue
packing snuff in lead, so as to poison
those who use ;t as speedily as possible?

A Wedding Party Poisoned.—
Oil Wednesday last, as we learn from
thePetersbnrgExpress, a weddmg par
ty consisting of about one hundred per
sons, were poisoned at the residence of
Mr: Kane in Seott county, Mr. H. S.
Kane, an eminent lawyer of that coun
ty, was mar.ied on Tuesday night, to
Miss Sarah, daughter of Col. Anderson,
and on the night after, a party was giv
en, at his house. At a late hour in the
evening al out thirty of the guests were
taken-ill about the same time and that
fact inducing the belief that they had
all been poisoned, arireadful scene of
consternation ensued, dancing was
stopped and physiciaus sent for, but
before they arrived the sickness be
came general and the patients were en
during the most horrid agony from ar
senic. . The servants of the house were
all.taken ill . at the same time and
.there was no one on the ground to ren
der aid until the arrival of the neigh
bors xVlio were sent for. - The corres
pondent of the Express said that the
cases of about thirty of’the party were
hopeless, and they were not expected
to Jive and among them was the young
and beautiful -bride. Upon an analy-
zrrtion of the custard it was found to be
strongly impregnated,with arsenic.—
The greatest excitement prevailed in
the county in relation to it.
The Abingdon Democrat has the fol
lowing-additional intelligence concern
ing the poisoning of the wedding party
assembled in Scott county, on the oc
casion of the marriage of H. S. Kane,
Esq.
A Mr. Bishop has since died from
the effects of the poison, and we learn
that seven or eight more were not ex
pected to survive—among them three
the s ns of Mrs. Neal, residing at Stock
Creek, near the Clinch river. A ne
gro has been arrested (whether man or
woman we could not ascertain), and
we learn that there is a strong reason
to believe that he or she was instigated
to the act by a white woman. ;>

nounces the death of Mr. Bishop, but-
says that the occurence was, accident

this county for about fifty years. He
was one of our wealthiest and most

years has been cut off from any inter

Wc still see a great deal in the news
papers about guano. We see no sense
in purchasing this article to manure
with, when farmers have thousands
of bushels of compost and other fertil

over their plantations, without apply
ing a particle of it to their crops.
When domestic fertilizers, which may
be had dirt ehe’ap, are exhausted, therr
there may be some propriety in buyijfg
guano, but not till then. Verily, men
are credulous dupes when they send
away from home to buy that which
is wasting in abundance around them.

The United States Gazette says, “ In

year from the use of tobacco. In Ger
many, the physicians have calculated
that,’ of all the deaths which occur be

originate in the waste of constitution
by smoking ! They say that the arti

powers and*produces a long train of
nervous-diseases, to which the stomach
is liable, and especially those forms
that go under the name of dyspepsia.
It also exerts a disastrous influence up
on the mind.”
This we do not doubt at all. To
bacco, besides being a noxions weed,
its use giving its devotee filthy and dis

One of the best anecdotes we have
seen is the following concerning Mr*
Spicer of Kentucky:
“Among the Americans who atten
ded the late ball given at the Hotel de
Ville, Paris, was Jack Spicer, of Ken
tucky. Jack rushed the dress some
what strong, and sported epauletts on
his shoulders large enough to start
four Major generals in business. Jack
was the observed of all observers, and
got mixed up with a party that his
friends could not account for. Wher
ever the Marshals of France went, there
went Jack—and when the Marshals sat
down, Jack did-the same, always ta
king the post of honor. The day af
ter the ball Jack called on his old ac
quaintance, Mr. Mason, our Minister to
France, who started up a little conver
sation in the following way :
“I hear, Jack, you were at the ball
last evening.”
“I was, Sir, and had a high old
time.”
“For which you were indebted, I
suppose, to the high old company you
got mixed up with. By the way, how
came v.ou associated with the Mar
shals?”
f ■ “How. By virtue of my office.—
They were Marshals of France, while
Lain nothing else than a Marshal of the
Republic. I showed my commission,
and took post accordingly.”
' “By right of your office ! What do
you mean ?”
“Read and see.”
Here Jack presented Mr. Mason
with a whitey brown paper, with a
seal big enough for a four pound
weight.
‘What in the name of heaven is
this.”
“My commission of ‘Marshal:’ I re
ceived it in 1850, when I assisted in
taking the census in Frankfort.”
“You don’t mean to say that-you
travel, on this?”
“I don’t mean anything else. That
makes me a ‘Marshal’ of the Republic,
and L intend to have the office duly
honored.”
Mr. Mason allowed that Jack was
doing a large business on a very small
capital.

NIGHT AIR.
It is a prevalent idea that night air is
not so healthy as the atmosphere w hen
under the influence of light. I nis
opinion must have originated from
some cause, or else it must be set down
amongst the old wives’ fables. No
one river had an opinion that the com
position of air was changed during
the night hours, but certainly it is well
known that air and the atmosphere
are two different things. The at
mosphere may become perfectly cor
rupt, and in many places it becomes
so : but air is a fixed composition :
therefore, when it becomes mixed
with a superabundance of carbonic ac- iffi K*
id or any other gas, it isno longer air!
The atmosphere—that ocean in which
wecantinually bathe, and on which
we continually feed—often becomes
unfit for respiration by extraneous
matter floating in it, under tire differ
ent names of miasma, infection, Ac.-—
It has been said, “liie belief of night
air being injurious is an error \\ hich
has hindred the introduction of ven
tilation more than all others.” 1 his
we do not believe for it is well known
that the effluvia of marshes is the most
dangerous during night hours, and
those who are exposed to the night air
in any country, except upon the ocean
never enjoy such good health as those
who arc protected from its influence.
l’he domestic animals, such as cows
and horses, which are housed every

stratum in which we live and walk.—
No one ever supposed that the pure
atmosphere had any thing to do with ^
causing the death of persons exposed
at night within the trophies ; nor does ' ‘)
it produce the cough of the consump-
tive and asthmatic, nor the langour
and misery which the sick as frequent
ly experience.
These and other sufferings experien
ced more particularly at night, are

A Taste for Reading.—Sir John
Herschei has declared, that if he were to
ask for a taste whicli should stand him
in stead under every varietj* of circum
stances, aqd be a source of happiness
and cheerfulness to him through life,
and. a.khield against its ills, however
things might go amiss, and the world
frown upon him, it would be a taste
for good and useful reading. Give a
man, he affirms,, this taste, and the
means of gratifying it, and you cannot
fail ofjjriaking him good and"happy; for
you bring hinvfn contact with:-the best
society in.all ages, with the tendrirest,
the bravest, and the pnrest men who
have adorned humanity, making him a
denizen of all nations, a cotemporary
of all tirnesj and giving him practical
proof that the world has been created
for him, for his solace and for his enjoy
ment.

moisture, &c., and not by that air
without which we cannot live three
minutes. It is absurd to suppose tnat
fresh air supports our life and destroys
our health at one and the same time.—
The same thing cannot possess the
utterly incompatable character of
destroying it. It is all nonesense to
talk about pure air being hurtful
to life and health at any season, by

it is no error to believe that the night
atmosphere is oftentimes injurious
to health.- A belief in this need >t
prevent good ventilation; for if cotton
cloth screens are placed in windows
during night hours, a free ventilation
is obtained ana the air is somewhat
rarefied before it enters the apart- 1 j s at i a pted to tSus eoi

conditions of freedom from exposure, 1 k„ r jf heexj
and a plentiful supply of as good j f or without
