DOMESTIC FISH I'ONDS.
We are surprised that our country friends
do not pay more attention to the subject of
fishponds. Many of them have, on some
part of their estates, either natural ponds,
or small streams running through narrow
valleys, which may be dammed at a tri
fiing expense, and occupy but a compara
small surface of land, and which, in many
cases, is entirely worthless. These ponds
should be fed wilbliving streams or springs,
The former are preferable, as they bring
to the pond supplies of seeds, vegetables,
mud, &c., on which many of the finny
tribes subsist. Aqnatic plants, insects of
various kinds, and inft/noricr. are also gen
erated in the pond, and supply them with
an adequate amount of food. Whenever
this is deficient for the inmates, artificial
fool may be added, as bread, decayed
grains, vegetables, meat, and the like.
They may be soon taught to come at a call,
as by the tinkling of a bell, the blast of a
horn, the beat of a drum, or some musical
instruments, and they will thus gather
round,! heir food as soon thrown in. Many
species of fish subsist entirely by suction,
as tire shad, the sucker. See.: am! it is poli
cy to have separate ponds for such of
these as may be wanted for use. Others,
amt by tar the larger part, are predatory,
am! subsist almost entirely cm other fish, as
the pike, pickerel, &c.: and these require
a stock of smaller fry to supply them ade
quately with food.
Some experiments have been made with
the shail and other salt-water fish in acclt
autiaffig them in fresh water, and with en
tire saccess. A friend, who had several
ssh poewfs o his estate cm the Lfadson,
says-they have bred with, him the second
reaf they weee placed there, lie occasion
ally supplied’ them with salt, when they
would came about the- deposit, ami seem to
mjtry the brackish. water while the salt re
awimeif Wheii. deprived ot tin’s, some of
| the original shad died; but whether ow
t ing to this or some other cause, it is not
■ certain. The younger ones seem to thrice
in water entirely fresh. He has also do
mestirated several kinds of iVesh-water
j fish, some of which trace been imported
from the European waters, as the carp and
1 tench ; but most of them are the best cari
•eties from onr Inland fates Foment them
hace become sfrch pets, and so familiarly
answer his calf, that he has great repug
nance rri preparing them for bis table
1 though his friends, to wham he freqnent
j ly sends them, hace no such sernpfes, and
pronounce them delicious. He tells a good
story of harnessing n nine-foot sturgeon
transferred from the rirer to his domains.
He has properly adjusted straps, so fritted
a not to interfere with his fins, to which a
ringand trace is attached, with a lightcorfc
j buoy, so as always to be within reach.
When disposed for a sail, he gets into his
canoe, and quietly affixes a tow fine to the
j buoy; and as soon as the sturgeon feels a
! jerk, off he darts with railway speed, and
. whirls him ronnd and round the pond till
| exhausted, when he rolls over or. his hack
) and halts. Ife is then disengaged from
; the canoe, and, after recovering from his
sweat, bounds intj the air six or eight feet,
i and off he darts for the quiet depths of the
j pond. Some honest Dutchmen, in his
neighborhood, thinking this too good fun
; to be monopolized, tried the experiment
with an untamed sturgeon in the Hudson ;
when, after a short time, he plunged down
wards, drawing under the boat, men and
all, who came near being drowned. They
denounced their neighbor and his craft,
and have never been known to attempt
the experiment since.— Ain. Agricult.
MERMAIDS IN CALIFORNIA.
We have reason to believe that, if our
seamen were educated, they would afford
very essential ai l in enlarging the bounds
of human knowledge. It is not uncommon
now a-days, to meet with individuals in
humble life who have traveled in every
quarter of the globe, and encountered per
ils and adventures which would have se
cured to them the honor of knighthood a
few centuries ago. Too often, however,
these individuals (who are generally sea
men,) are so ignorant and unobserving,
that they are unable to impart, at the close
of their iourneyings, any valuable inform
ation, in addition to what has been accu
mulated by others who went before them,
or to state any facts concerning the differ
ent lands which they have visited, other
titan those interesting to the sensualist.
Occasionally however, an individual of
this class is found, who having received a
good New England education, lias, wher
ever he has journeyed, been inquisitive and
observing, and has stored up in his mind a
vast fund or curious and useful knowledge
which might, in the hands of an accom
plished scholar, be made the source of a
handsome revenue.
In conversation, a few days since, with
a seaman of this character, who has spent
several years on the California coast, and
traveled extensively in other quarters, he
stated a circumstance which he lias many
times witnessed on that coast, and which
he thinks very satisfactorily accounts for
the old idea of the existence of “mer
maids,” who, it will be recollected, were
represented as amphibious beings, having
the lower half of their ho lies like a fish ;
that they visited the locks and shores, and
could be seen in bright sunny days, with
looking-glasses in their hands, washing
their faces, and combing and dressing
their heads. &c. As no similar explana
tion of the origin of the belief in the exist
ence of this fabulous animal has ever been
published, to our knowledge, we here re
late it for the gratification of the curious in
such matters.
Me says that attached to the rocks and
pebbles of that coast, theie abounds a mus
cle, which he thinks is a variety of the ed
ible muscle found in these parts, it having
a shell similar in form and external ap
pearance, excepting it being larger, and
the inner surface is thinly coated with very
handsome pearl, which, when wet, will
glisten in the sun s rays like a mirror.
There also abounds there a beautiful,
.playful and intelligent animal called the
sea-otter, so beautiful and intelligent, in
deed, that the hunters and Indians say
that it is almost as painful to their feelings
to kill one of them as to kill a human be
ing, and were it not for the high price
which their fnr commands, it is probable
that they would be permitted to gambol in
their native element, forever undisturbed by
mankind.
These pearly muscles the sea-otters, bring
up from the bottom for food, and have a
way of opening them with their fingers, by
pressing them against their breasts. They
then hold the shells to their mouths, and
eat out the fish in that manner, but as the
fish generally adheres only to one shell,
the other is dropped, and one hand is em
ployed in washing the face and smoothing
the fur on the breast, head and neck : and
the bright shell glittering in the sun, he
thinks the same might given distant and
fanciful observer the idea of a girl dressing
her head, with a looking-glass in her band,
and being witnessed by some voting sailors
who had long been absent from the charms
of their native fair—the bright eyes and
pretty forms of the sea-otter, suggested to
their yearning fancy the existence of mer
maids or sea-nymphs. That they are in
teresting and pretty, atl accounts concur.
Captain Sturges, (firm of Bryant Sr Stur
ges, of Boston.) in a lecture before the
Massaehusetts Legislature, a few yearsago.
said that he considered the sea-otter as the
prettiest being in the world, with thestngle
exception of a pretty woman, and that he
hail rather look upon a handsome sea-ot
ter skin,’ than upon the most famoos
painting of the old masters. —Boston Tinm.

CIRCASSIAN SLAVES.
in a moral point of view, all slave traff
ic is of course odious and reprehensible,
but that of Circassia differed from all oth
er commerce of tire kind, hr so far that all
parties wctc benefited by, and consenting
to, the contract. The Turks obtained
in Caucasus handsomer and healthier wives
tlian those bom in tbe harcin ; and the Cir
cassian beauties were delighted to exchange
the poverty and toil of their father*’ moun
tain huts for the luxurious far-n rente of tbc
seraglio, of whose wonders and delights
their cars were regaled from, childhood np
-1 wants, with the most glowing description.
The trade, although greatly impeded and
very hazardous, still goes on. Small Tur
kish craft creep up to the coast, cautiously
evading the Russian ernisers, enter creeks
ami inlets, and are dragged by the Circas
sians high and dry upon the beach, there
to remain till the negociation for their live
cargo is completed, an operation that gen
erally takes a few weeks. These women
sold are the daughters of serfs and freemen ;
rarely docs a vorl consent to dispose of
his sister or daughter, although the case
does sometimes occur. But whilst the sale
goes on, the slave ships are anything but
secure. It is a small matter to have es
caped the Russian frigates and steamers.—
Each of the Kreposts possesses a little
squadron of row-boats, manned with Cos
sacks, who pnll along the coast in search
of Turkish vessels. If they detect one,
they land in the night, and endeavor to set
fire to it, before the mountaineers can
come to the assistance of the crew. The
Turks, who live inprofoundterrorofthe.se
Cossack coast-guards, resort to every pos
sible expedient to escape their observation ;
often covering their vessels with dry leaves
and boughs, ar.d tying fir branches to the
masts, that the scouts may take them for
trees. If they are captured at sea by the
cruisers, the crew are sent to hard labor in
Siberia, and the Circassian girls are mar
ried to Cossacks, or divided as hand-maid
ens amongst the Russian staff officers.
From thirty to forty slaves compose the
usual cargo of each of these vessels which
are so small that the poor creatures are
packed almost like herring in a barrel.—
But they patiently endure the misery of
the voyage, in anticipation of the honeyed
existence of the harem. It is calculated
that one vessel out of six is taken or lost.
In the winter of 1833-4, eight-and-twenty
ships left the coast of Asia Minor, for that
of Caucasia. Twenty-three safely return
ed, three were burned by the Russians, and
two swallowed by the waves.— Lamartine.
HEBREW LEGEND.
“ You teach,” said the Emperor Trajan
to a famous Rabbi, “ that your God is ev
erywhere, and boast that he resides among
yotir nation. I should like to see him.”
“God's presence is indeed everywhere,”
the Rabbi replied, “but he cannot be 6een,
for no mortal eye can look upon his splen
dor.”
The Emperor had the obstinacy of pow
er, and persisted in his demand.
“ Well,” answered the Rabbi, “ suppose
we begin by endeavoring to gaze at one
of his ambassadors.”
Trajan assented ;. and the Rabbi leading
him into the open air, for it was the noon
of the day, bade him raise his eyes to the
sun, then shining down upon the world in
its meridian glory. The Emperor made
the attempt, but relinquished it.
“1 cannot,” said he, “the light dazzles
me.”
“ If then,” rejoined the triumphant Rab
bi, “thou art unable to endure the light of
one of his creatures, how canst thou ex
pect to behold the unclouded glory of the

Though he’s surely not a coward.

SOUTHERN MANUFACTORIES.
The Raleigh Register thus discourses on
this snbject:
“The establishment of Manufactories
and Mills of every description, would have
the tendency to aronse the energies of the
} people, lo quicken their inventive genius,
to concentrate their capital, and toenhance
I it, to cause an influx of capitalists and op
j eratives, to create a market for the produc
tions of the farm, and by a reflux influence
! the refuse of all such consumption being
j returned to the soil, to increase its value.
In 1813. v/hen the first factory was es
tablished at Lowell, Mass., no one saw in
the unsettled pasture and meadow, the fu
| tnre great city and the extensive opera
j ions which have raised it to its present
preeminence. An unprofititahlc canal
| around Pawtucket falls, was purchased
! and the result has been, what the country
I all know, Lowell made far-famed, and its
i numerous companies wealthy. By pursu
ing a like policy, it is obvious what North
Carolina might become. Her waste lands
would be brought into market, her unpro
ddetive farms return four-fold into the laps
of their possessors, her mineral wealth be
appreciated, her hills and her valleys
teeming with a busy and thriving popula
tion, her mountain streams and rivers made
every drop, to contribute to the wealth of
her citizens, the native intellect and ener
gies of her sons would he stimulated, and
as developement of mind elevates the man
in the scale of being, her citizens would be
rendered better and happier and more intel
ligent, and her name be enrolled high up,
among her sister Stats.
tfcj”'lt is a fact worth repeating, that the
Emperor of Russia rame to this country
for his model war steamer, and for railroad
road engineers. Nicholas has always
manifested a predilection for American ge
nius, in spite of his hatred of American
politics and constitutions.
Morality without religion is only
a kind of dead-reckoning,—an endeavor to
find our place on a cloudy sea by measu
ring the distance we have run, but without
any observation of the heavenly bodies.—

I¥a©,
TO BBMOVS STOm
Procure a dry red-elm lever, about
twenty feet long, and about six to eight
inches in diameter, also, a good stout log
chain, with two yokes of oxen ; this is all
the machinary necessary, except a good
ox-driver. The mode of operation is this:
wrap the chain around the stump a little
above the ground, and make what is call
ed a log hitch ; and lay the lever horizon
tally on the ground, the large end next to
the chain and against she stump make the
loose end of the chain fast lo the end of
the lever, drawing it tight against the
stump; the cattle are hitched to the small
end of the lever and driven around in a
circle of which the lever is the radius.
One revolution of the oxen around the
stump will generally twist it out of the
ground, or loosen it so that it may be haul
ed out by the oxen when hitched to the
log-chain around the stump. But should
not the power of this machine be sufficient
to move the stump, the side roots may be
uncovered and cut partly off, and the stump
will then be more easily removed.
By pursuing this plan in the spring of
the year, when the ground is loose and
mellow, the stumps are more easily remov
ed ; and by persevering in this method two
or three years your fields will be cleared
of these obstructions to neat and economi
cal farming.
This extract is taken from the Ohio Cul
tivator, and is a very simple stump ma
chine. The ingenuity of our farmers in
different places, lead them to adopt various
plans for the easy removal of stumps, and
there are some excellent hints to our farmers,
at this season of the year.
HOW TO DISLODGE A FISH RONE
FROM THE THROAT.
It sometimes happens that a fish bone ac
cidentally swallowed will remain in the
(rsophagns, and occasion serious inconve
nience ; in fact, instances have been known
where so much irritation has arisen that
death has followed. In such cases it is
advisable, as soon as possible, to take four
grains of tartar emetic, dissolved in one
half pint of warm water and immediately
afterwards the white of six eggs. The co
agulated mass will not remain in the stom
ach more than two or three minutes, and
the probability is that the bone will be e
jected with the contents of the stomach.
If tartar emetic is not to be found conveni
ently a teaspoonful of mustard dissolved
in milk warm water and swallowed will
answer the same purpose.
The Great Bridge at Wheeling Va.
—The people of Wheeling are going on
rapidly with the construction of their vast
bridge across the Ohio river, the span of
which will be lOlfi feet and its height
above low water 97 feet, to avoid obstruct
ing the steamboats. Its cost will be about
a quarter of a million of dollars, or more
than that of gradingand bridging forty miles
of railroad of an average degree of difficul
ty in Ohio. It is not likely that many
such bridges will be erected considering
the cost and risk attending them, but this
project will stand out as a work honotable
to the spirit of the people in Western Vir
ginia.

PROSPECTUS

WEEKLY GAZETTE.
BEING anew and much enlarged series of the
“Southern Literary Gazette,’” —the only
weekly Journal, South of the Potomac, devoted
to Literature and the Arts in general—and de
signed for the Family Circle.
The Proprietor begs leave to announce that,
on Saturday, the sth of May,ho issued the first
number, for the second year, of this popular and
well established paper,—the name and form of
which he has changed, to enlarge the scope of its
observation, and to otherwise increase its attrac
tions.
Less exclusively devoted, than heretofore, to
Literature, the Arts, and Sciences,
it will be the aim of its Proprietor to make it,
in every respect,
A CHOICE FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
“aschcan as the cheapest, and as good as the
best!” Utterly discarding the notion that a
Southern journal cannot compete with the North
ern weeklies, in cheapness and interest,
RICHARDS’ WEEKLY GAZETTE
shall be equal, in mechanical execution, to any
of them, and, in the variety, freshness and value
of its contents, second to none. Jts field will bo
the world, and it will contain, in its ample folds
Every Species of Popular Information,
Especial attention will be paid to the subjec t of
SCHOLASTIC AND DOMESTIC EDUCATION.
.Numerous articles, original and selected, from
the best sources, will be published weekly, cm
AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE,
and these departments, as, indeed, all others, will
be frequently
Illustrated with Wood Cuts !
Every numbe r will contain caieful and copious
summaries ol the latest
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC NEWS.’
in Commercial, Civil, Political, and Ecclesiasti
cal Affairs. At the same time, there shall he
nothing in its columns that can he cousidered ei

The literary and moral tone of Richards’
Gazette are both of a high order, and we arc not
acquainted with a weekly journal in any part of
the country which habitually imparts more val
uable information on all those subjects which
hallow the hearth stone of home.— National In
telligencer.
We congratulate Mr. Richards on the taste
and ability displayed in his columns.— N. V.
Literary American.
The “Gazette” is edited by Win. C. Rich
ards, Esq., a scholar and a writer of the Inghcst
order, and one who knows how to get up a good
paper. Success, we say, to it and him.— Boston-
Sat. Rambler.
This fine literary journal, printed at Athens,
Ga ,1s now issued in folio form, and makes an
elegant appearance. The last number came
brimful of good things ; and, indeed, every issue
bears evidence that the editor spares no pains to>
make a first class paper. If our Southern friends”
do not sustain him, it must be because their vis
ion is telescopic, and can detect no excellence un
less it shines from aiar.— Yankee Blade.
Mr. Richards deserves success, for his enter
prise and perseverance and this, as a Family
Newspaper, will, without doubt, in its moral
tone, be immeasurably above the enteli-nenny af
fairs from Northern cities.— Cherokee Advocate.
It is a beautifully printed sheet, ably maraged,
ami contains part first of tlie prise story, for
which the prnpietor paid fifty dollars. This sto
ry is a beautiful production, and is written by
that “reputable’ and polished authoress, Mrs
Caroline Lee Ilontx.—-zii. Union, ( Boston )
We take great pleasure in reeommomling this
weekly to t lie favorable consideration and | at run
age of thereading community. It makes an im
posing appearance. The Gazette is an imperial
sheet, good paper, handsomely exoeuted and fill
ed with well-written And interesting matter. It,
numbers among its contributors seveiai distin
guished writers.— Mirror oj the Timet. (iV. I'.)
This transformation of the “ Southern Litrrary
Gazi tte comes to us nowise deteriorated from the
original. In all “ save form alone,'’ it bears tlio
same marks of literary'and artistic exoclienoe,
and we trust will long receive tho bright smile ol
pecuniary success.— Excelsior. (Boston )
The Literary (tarot to, of Athens, Georgia, has
commenced a second volume ; folio form, pretty
head, &e. The new dre"s is beautiful'and the
Gazette overflows—its old boundaries at ifeast —
witli a literary chowder of the first cut.—Auro
ra Boreal U.
It has now entered on its new yenr enlarged
and very much improved Aa thisds the only pa
per devoted exclusively to Southern interests, it
ought to bo most liberally patronized by the.
for whom it is intended —NctWl ISnzetU
