The Johnston n < atasirophe.
We clip from the New York llrrald the
following particulars of the horrible acci
dent at .Johnstown, Pa., (luring the recent
\i -it to that place by the President.
The //r'lWn correspondent writing
from the spot says:
At Johnstown a very large concourse of
people awaited the train hearing the Pres
ident, and, on its approach, began the
most Vociferous and genuine cheering pos
sible.
A FEARFUL ACCIDENT.
P.ut their joy at welcoming the party
was cut short, and the whole mace con
verted into a hous'e of mourning by one of
the most calamitous accidents that ever
betel a community. The railroad at this
place runs on the north hank of the old
canal (now dry,) about thirty feet from its
channel. The canal was bridged over for
several rods in front of where the train
stopped, and was used as a platform for
busines.'. A bridge for crossing one of the
streets, and two raised sidewalks were im
provised. In consequence of being slight
ly elevated above the ground between the
bank of the canal and the cars, the au
dience could obtain a tolerably fair view of
the rear platform of the train on which the
President and others were standing, and
therefore crowded on it in a mass so dense
that there was no standing room left unoc
cupied.
THE BRIDGE GIVES WAY.
Just as the train was about to move
away, and those on the bridge and around
the depot were rending the air with cheers
for Johnson, Grant, and Farragut, an aw
ful crash rose above the roar of the huz
zas that startled all within hearing arid
silenced many voices for ever. '1 he tim
bers in the centre of the bridge, fully a
foot square, suddenly snapped in twain,
precipitating every soul on it to the bot
tom of the canal, a distance of at least
fifteen feet. The balance of the sidewalks
and platforms ov< r the canal came down
with the bridge, and filled tire bottom with
timbers, plants and the straggling mass
of men, women and children, all buried
together in an inextricable confusion.
These on the bank between the new yawn
ing gulf and the railroad track were fright
ened into a stampede, and added to che
confusion by screaming, yelling and tramp
ling each other into the mud in the frantic
efforts to escape. A more frightful scene
was scarcely ever witnessed. A few mo
ments sufficed to reveal what actually
transpired. .Men, women, and children
Ist hers, mothers, husbands,_ wives, sons
and daughters were now rushing in every
direction seeking relatives and friends,
and crying aloud with grief and terror.
I'KCI I.IAII CIRCUMSTANCES OF TtlE ACCI
DENT.
From the manner in which the mass of
people was precipitated, struggling, clutch
ing and grasping, to the ground beneath, a
great many arms and legs were broken.
The women generally fell head foremost,
owing to their inflated style of clothing;
and their contusions were chiefly confined
to the head, thee and shoulders. One re
markable fact was that no infants or small
children were known to he hurt in the
slightest, although many infants iir’firms
were among those jvho fell to the bottom,
and a still larger number of both sexes,
raging from six to ten years of age.
As soon as partial order could be restored
lines were formed to protect the sufferers
from the outside pressure of the crowd,
and to extricate them from the wreck of
the bridge and platform. One man was
found dead, with a huge beam across his
neck and his eyes protruding front their
sockets.
SCENES AND INCIDENTS AFTER THE CATAS
TROPHE.
Mr. Melt/.ger, proprietor of the Mansion
House, was among the first taken dead
from the ruins. Miss Is Tit ie Cannon was
at first supposed to be slightly stunned,
hut never recovered from the shock, and
expired immediately. She was a young
laily of rare piomise, graceful, and accom
plished in mind and manners ; had gradu
ated within a lew weeks past, and was con
fessedly the belle of the place. The sight
that met the eye as the injured were taken
out was horrifying even to a war corres
pondent.
An Irish widow was carried away, suf
fering from pain and lamenting the condi
tion her unfortunate family of four little
ones would now be in on account of her
disability. A young fellow in the first
flush of manhood scrambled out of the
rubbish, and managed to hobble away a
few rods, when he fell from pain and ex
haustion, and on examination found that |
his thigh hone was badly fractured. The ,
tears rolled down his checks, and when j
asked how he was hurt replied that his leg \
was ruined for life. A little girl who went j
down on the top of the crowd scrambled |
out and stood staring with flight as one j
petrified, and could not be aroused for sev- ,
oral minutes, when she burst into tears ;
and begged to he taken to her mother. A i
young Miss extricated herself and took
flight as one fleeing from destruction, and j
never slackened her speed until out of j
sight. The young wife of a man who had j
a leg broken was sitting by his side on the
ground, weeping freely, but on being ques- j
tinned smiled through her tears and said
she was only crying tor joy that she had
found him alive and hurt no worse. The
news soon spread through the village, and
those who remained away at first were
soon congregated around the depot, wild
with excitement and searching everywhere
for relatives and friends whom they feared ;
were among the killedor wounded. Plunks
wore at first taken from the broken bridge
to carry away the living and dead, and
mattresses were soon brought into requisi
tion from the neighboring houses for the
purpose.
THE MOST PROMINENT PIIVSICIANS OF THE
PEACE INJURED.
The most unfortunate feature of the af
fair was that both the prominent physicians
of the place were among the severely in
jured. and "the community was deprived of
their services in the hour of their greatest
need.
MEPICAL ASSISTANCE TELEGRAPHED FOR.
The agent of „the railroad telegraphed
each way along the line, urging forward all
assistance, and in less than two hours
about twenty physicians arrived by regular
and special trains. Few calamities of this
kind have been so widespread, or carried
desolation and mourning into so many dif
ferent families. Half the households in
Johnstown were in mourning to-night, and
the list of casualties has probably been
swelled from the one hundred aud five
names reported to at least two hundred.
The 1 “residential party were doubly afflicted
by the deplorable occurrence, and was af
fected to silence for several hours.
A correspondent of the New York
Times, who was on the spot, tbits describes
the accident:
In expectation of the special train con
taining the Presidential party, a large num
ber of people, probably 3,000 in all. had
gathered in and about the depot at this
place, to tender the usual salutation. Near
the depot is an old canal, and which was a
double crossing with a sort of cover, fifty
feet aiuare between. I non this structure
or bridge some eight or nine hundred peo
ple had congregated, a large number of
whom were women and children. The
centre part was densely packed, and must
have contained at least four hundred peo
ple. The train had hardly stopped when
the centre part gave way with a tremen
dous crash, precipitating the entire party,
in a headlong mass, some thirty feet.
Hardly had the noise of the falling tim
bers and the shrieks of the terrified people
above ceased, when the groans of the dying
and the screams of women and children
came from the awful wreck below. All
who had escaped injury proceeded at once
to extricate the sufferers, who were piled
one upon the other among a mass of
broken timbers and iron rods. Several of
the 1 residential party assisted in removing
»i ~ a . injured, among whom were
Marshal O Beirne. Mr. Murphv. Mr
I’adwallader and my seif. The I’resident
and Gen. Grant were exceedingly dis
tressed, and were very anxious that the
special train should stop over an hour to
afford as much aid a# possible, but the
Conductor stated that arrangements made
for meeting trains on the road, precluded
the possibility of carrying into effect the
President s humane wish, arid after a few
minutes the train started off. The party
above alluded to, however, remained, and
rendered a good deal ot assistance for
nearly two hours. The poor victims—
men. women aud children—were dragged
out from the ruins, several of whom had
crushed to dcatli by
but more by being fallen upon by others.
Most of the killed and wounded were of
the laboring class. Mr. Metzger, one ot
the killed, was proprietor of the hotel, and
was quite wealthy ; and Miss Letitia Can
non was the belle of the town, and
graduated at the head of her class on
Tuesday last, The scene was one of in
descriliable horror. The groans f
-and the screams and tear f
mothers, wives , asters and daughter w.«-
the saddest sisght I ever saw. '

injured, and ninety others severely ’ art
Novel and brand Enterprise—H.ijmili
eeni New Kate Track—lts Cost
<loo Th e North and South—Return »f
the Era of hood Keeling.
In a let ter from the Hon. John F.
to the Mobile Register, dated N \ ,rk.
August 28. we find the following very
readable paragraphs:
I had a delightful day yesterday in a
drive through the suburbs of New York
for a distance of ten or twelve miles, the
object being to visit an enterprise
destined to become not only a New York
but a National institution. It is anew
race course beyond Harlern River, built on
private property and at private expense.
.Mr. Leonard Jerome, one of the million
aires of the city, conceived the magnificent
project of a National Ilace-course, which
when finished will epst him $500,00)1.
Home idea of the grandeur of the plan may
he had from the statement that the prin
cipal stand costs $70,000. The form of the
track is a novel one. It Ls in shape some
thing like an hour-glass or a figure eight,
the grand stand and the judges' lookout
being in front of the neck of the figure, so
that when the horses are half way round
they are almost as near as when starting.
A valley swelling at both ends, and sur
rounded by beautiful hills, covered with
trees and gTeen sward, seems to have been
made expressly for the shape.
The stables are every thing in the way
of comfort arid luxury that horse-flesh
could desire. The club proper consist of
fifty members, Mr. Belmont being the
principal or presiding steward. It is in the
hands of the first men of fashion and wealth,
and will he the rage of the ton of New
York. The course is to be inaugurated
with a four-mile race, and a purse of $lO,-
000, on the 23d of September, for which
there are twenty-seven entries, among
them “Asteroid, “Kentucky," “Fleet
wing, and their aristocratic compeers of
the turf. Does not this make the mouths
of our magnolia lovers of horse-flesh water ?
Mr. Jerome’s stable is already on the
ground, and others are arriving. The
enterprising proprietor and projector of this
enterprise, besides being one of the most
tonitib men in town, a splendid whip and a
good liver, is a big hearted gentleman, and
a true American, lie says his course Ls to
be one of the elements of reconstruction —
a place where the North and South can
meet to learn each other’s good qualities,
and wipe out, in generous emulation
and .social intercourse, the asperities of
the past. He was a war man for
the North while war lasted ; being
over, he acts the part of a generous
adversary, and extends his hand to his late
antagonist in the spirit of Co]. Dumas—
" It is astonishing how l like a fellow after
I have fought him." lie is a warm advo
cate of the President’s policy, and assures
me that his generous sentiments for the
South are the type of the great heart of
the North, which will surely crush down
the vindictive and cowardly policy of the
Radical party. I met at the dinner at the
track a dozen gentlemen, all, except Maj.
J. R. Walker and myself, Northern men
of position and influence. The tone of .Mr.
Jerome pervaded the whole party, and re
ceived my statement of the late course and
present temper and oouduct of the South
with warm approbation. I told them we
had no apologies to make for our course—
we had acted on fixed political principles
and deep-seated convictions —believed we
were right in conscience honor and princi
ple when we struck for independence, and
still believe it; we were beaten, but not
humiliated ; we accepted the political solu
tion as the cost of defeat, and were ready
and anxious to strike hands again with
them, provided we could do so upon
terms of political and manly equality, and
in such a manner as to preserve the dignity
of Americans, which had suffered no shame
in our hands in all our conflicts upon land
and water. This style of thought was
most cordially received by the whole table,
and was followed by a toast from Mr.
Jerome, at the head of it, to the memory
of the brave dead of the North and South,
who hail shed a glory on the common
American name. I mention this circum
stance to illustrate the feeling among this
class of men. None of these gentlemen
are politicians, and they were all shades
of old parties. But they were all intense
Union men, and their Union extends to
the embrace of the whole South upon
equal terms, and they do not regard the
Union as complete without the South.
One of them said : “I glory in your Lee
and Stonewall, and in the surpassing valor
of your gray coats, even more than in the
achievements of the Northern troops, for
I he reason that the odds were against you,
the struggle harder for you, and pluck and
heroism required greater.” After a de
lightful day, our host mounted the box of
Ins drag, and taking the reins over four
spanking bays, drove us through the Ceil
tral Park into the city. I trust that these
gentlemen are not mistaken, and their
noble sentiments will be ratified by the
majority of the Northern people at the
ballot-box.
The President in Indianapolis—Dis
graceful Scenes.
The telegraph has already advised us of
the disgraceful reception accorded the.
President by the Radicals at Indianapolis
on his arrival there on the 10th inst. The
Indianapolis Herald gives the following de
tails :
The most disgraceful scene ever enacted
in this crime stained city, attended the re
ception of President Johnson last night.
* * * General Meredith, in the
midst of a perfect pandemonium of villian
ous noises, succeeded in making his recep
tion speech, and introduced the President.
The Chief Magistrate of the nation, with
uncovered head, his white hairs and the
dignity sis his station appealing in vain for
a respectful hearing, faced a frantic mob,
which greeted him with an overwhelming
storm of groans, hisses, bellowings, and all
sorts of grotesque noises, interspersed with
vile and insulting epithets. The friends of
the President, of whom there were thou
sands in the street, were taken by surprise,
and overawed by the strength and deter
mined front of the rioters. In vain were
they appealed to. The uproar was contin
ued without intermission until they had
bellowed themselves hoarse. It seemed as
if all hell had broken loose, and its inmates
were bolding high carnival in front of the
Bates House.
, After standing full ten minutes on the
balcony, the President turned his back on
. the mob, and entered his room, doubtless
| strongly impressed with the decency and
good breeding of an Indianapolis audience,
which refuses the Chief Magistrate of the
nation a hearing. The shutters were closed
the curtains drawn, and the mob left to
enjoy "the fruits'’ of their victory. For
i half an hour or more the riot was kept up
without cessation of the groaning aud bel
i lowing, and then it assumed a more serious
i shape. The torchlight procession began
! to move through the crowd, when the riot
ers opened the ball by striking at the lamps
with their cudgels and smashing the trans
parencies. A torch bearer whose lamp was
knocked off by a brawny ruffian turned the
i staff and broke the scoundrel's head with
it. Then pistols were brought into requi-
I sition. Some twenty shots were tired,
causing a general scattering of the crowd.
A citizen named John Trucks, was hit in
the nose, and a gentleman named Rooker,
from Hamilton county, received a ball in
his knee. It is said that Mr. Charles
Stagg, a lawyer and phonographic repor
ter. received a stray shot in the hand, and
that a lady was also slightly wounded.
Some time after the hrst shooting, How
ard Stretcher, a young man of the city,
shot and killed a man named Stewart.—
Stretcher is a Johnson man. We did not
get any authentic information ot the cir
cumstances preceding the shooting, but
understand that someone struck Stretcher.
He fired three shots, one of which struck
Stewart in the mouth, lodging in the back
of his head. He was carried into the cor
nev drug store, and soon died.
During the first melee the rioters struck
indiscriminately at the marshals and torch
bearers. Some of the horses ridden by the
marshals were frightfully cut and gashed.
It is evident that the whole thing was
preconcerted. Rumors of a disturbance
were rife throughout the day, and the pres
ence of a large number of prominent Re
publicans in the crowd shows that it was i
countenanced and encouraged by them.
These sober, sedate. God-fearing, "respect
able" aud eminently loyal patriots, went
about through the crowd while President
Johnson was trying to speak, rubbing their
hands in frantic glee, and chuckling over
the 'tun'' they were having. There were
A. H. Connor, some of the Douglasses.
Glazier. Unversaw. and a host of others—
lending their counsel to the disgraceful pro
ceedings. which have fixed a damning stain
upon the fame of our city. .
In the meantime the police—the virtu
ous, honest, patriotic conservators of the
peace were quietly looking on. enjoying the
sport with a keen relish, such as only po
licemen can feel. They never attempted
to make au arrest, unless it was in case of
a Johnson man, or "copperhead," caught
in the attempt of defending himself from
the attacks of their Radical friends. After
the row was over, they were seen to knock
down, brutally beat, aud then drag to jail a
man whose only offense was shouting,
Hurrah for Johnson. As they have

Jeff. Davis—Rumors Concerning his Re
lease.
New York, Sept. M.—The Herald’s
Washington special says: In a previous dis
patch I understood there was good reason
to believe that in a few days Jeff. Davis
would be teleased on parole or bail. I re
ceived my information from a high official,
who possesses excellent facilities for learn
ing the President’s views and intentions on
such subjects. The announcement created
quite aflutter among the politicians, and
several very influential ones favorable to
the President's restoration policy, ventured
to call on him to ascertain if the announce
ments were well founded. They urged the
President to defer any action in the matter
until after the fall elections, reminding
him he was already accused of sympathiz
ing with Rebels, and abusing the pardon
ing power and assuring him that the re
lease of the head rebel, at this time, would
be handled by the Radicals in the present
compaign with a powerful effect and greatly
impaire the chances of the party now labor
ing to elect to office men who would sup
port his ( the President’s] policy. This I
have on undoubted authority.
The President replied that many distin
guished and loyal gentlemen from both
the North and South has appealed to him
for the release of Jefferson Davis, and had
presented several considerations which
made a favorable impression on his mind
why Davis should not be held any longer in
confinement; and that he had said to them
that if, from any fault of the court or the
proper officers of the government Davis
should not be brought to trial in October,
he should not, from any reason then known
to him, deem it his duty to hold the
prisoner for another day. But in giving
the friends of Davis this assurance, he had
anticipated the action of the court, and had
not appointed any time for Davis’ release
in the event of his not being tried. He
declared that he had from the first desired
to have Davis tried for treason, and had
used such influence and authority as he
possessed to have the trial take place at
an early day, but if there should be any
further delay in bringing on the trial, he
believed that neither the interest of the
country nor his duty demanded that lie
keep the prisoner longer in custody. He
also stated that he was unable to perceive
that the release of Davis on parole or bail
would furnish the Radicals with a valuable
weapon, but that he believed the masses,
if there should be further unnecessary de
lay in bringing him to trial, would ap
prove of his being conditionally released.
11. is well understood in the best inform
ed circles that Davis will not be tried at
the October terra, so that his release may
bo looked for soon after, but not till after
that time. Mr. Reed, one of Davis’ counsel,
had been authorized by the Attorney Gen
eral to say to his client that the govern
ment would direct his immediate release
on the condition of his leaving the country
and never returning, and that Davis in
dignantly rejected the offer.
Humble I,il’e.
Toll me not that he’s a poor man,
That his dross is coarse and bare;
Toll me not his daily pittance
Is a workman’s scanty fare.
Toll me not his birth is humble,
That his parentage is low ;
Is lie honest in his action ?
That is all I want to know.
Is his word to be relied on ?
Has his character no blame ?
Then I care not if lie’s low born—
Then I care not whence his name,
Would he from an unjust action
Turn away with scornful eye ?
Would he, then, defraud another ?
Sooner on the scaffold die.
Would he spend his hard-gained earnings
On a brother in distress ?
Would lie succor the afflicted
And the weak one’s wrongs redress ?
Then lie is a man deserving
Os my love and my esteem,
And I care not what his birth-place
In the eyes of man may seem.
Let it be a low-thatched hovel—
Let it be a clay-built cot—
Let it be the parish workhouse—
In my eye it matters not.
And if others will disown him,
As inferior to their caste,
Let them do it—l’ll befriend him
As <t brother to the last.

I’lic Emperor Continues Very 111 Mys
terious Whisperings and Surmisings—
Popular Superstitious—Apprehensions
of Some Pending Catastrophe.
Paris, August 17, 1866.
The Prussians and the needle gun are
now thrown into the shade, the French
having other things tothiyk of. The Em
| peror is seriously ill. The papers say notli
; ing—-but can such things be kept se
| It is stated by those who belong to the
! entourage of the Emperor, that the malady
I under which he is laboring leaves us but
little hope that science will be able to get
| the better of it. Ever since the Moniteur
informed the public that His majesty had
I been obliged to give up taking the waters
at Vichy, lii.s health had been gradually
declining, and a proof that there is more
than meets the eye is, that the Camp of
Galons, which was to have been visited by
the Emperor, has been suddenly raised.
His Majesty is suffering from diabetes, ac
companied by attacks of fainting fits,
which sometimes last for a considerable
time.
\V e are informed that such is the cer
tainty with which a catastrophe is expect
ed at St. Cloud, that the officers on guard
at the palace, on being suddenly called out
to present arms to the Empress of' Mex
ico, exclaimed—
“He is dead! He is dead !” fancying
that His Majesty was no more.
There is now a general anxiety in the
public mind. Both friends and enemies
of'the present dynasty look with awe at
the probability of a general upset. Napoleon
the Third’s Government has been one of
such a personal character, that it would
seem that he. once away, the wholemachin
ery must come to a sudden stop.
Superstitious people, whose number is
legion, in the city of free thinkers, attach
much importance to a dreadful catastrophe,
which took ulace on the fete day of the
Emperor. Whilst the fireworks were be
ing let off on the banks of the Seine, the
crowd was so great on the Place de la
corde. that several accidents took place.
The public journals inform us that several
persons have since died of their contusions,
and many others lie in a very precarious
state in the different hospitals of Paris.
Those superstitious jieople of whom I
speak, bring to our recollections the dread
ful catastrophe which took place on the
Place de la Concorde, during the festivities
on the occasion of the wedding of Louis
XVI., with the unfortunate Maria An
toinette of Austria, and that which took
place the year beiore the death of the
Duke of Orleans, the eldest son of Louis
Phillippe, who met with his death from
ha ving sprung out of his carriage, , when
driving on the road to Xeuillr in 1542.

This ineffably contemptible and shame

Each, all are away to their dwelling of rest.
The maid on whose brow, on whose cheek,
in whose eye,
Shone beauty and pleasure—her triumphs
are bv, .
And alike from the minds of the living
erased
Are the memories of mortals who loved her
and praised.
The I land of the King, that the scepter hath
borne,
TheJjrow of the Priest, that the miter hath
worn,
The eye of the* sage, and the heart of the
brave, , „ ,
Are hidden and lost in tlie depths of the
grave. *
Tlie peasant, whose lot was to sow and to
reap;
: The herdsman, whoelimbed with Ins goats
I up the steep;
i The lieggar, who wandered in search of Ins
bread,
Have faded away like the grass that we
tread.
So the multitude goes, like the flower or
the w eed,
j That withers away to let others succeed;
So the multitude come, even those we be
hold,
To repeat every tale that has often heen
torn.
! For we are tlie same our fathers have been
j We see the same sights our lathers have
] seen;
i We drink the same stream, we see the
same sun,
j And run the same course our fathers have
! run.
The thoughts we are thinking our fathers
did think;
From the death we are shrinking our fath
ers did shrink;
To the life we are clinging our fathers did
cling,
But it speeds from us all like the bird on
the wing.
They loved—but the story we cannot un
fold ;
Theyscorned—but the heart of the haughty
is cold;
They grieved—but no wail from their
slumbers will come;
They joyed—but the tongue of their glad
ness is dumb.
They died—ah ! they- died—we, things
that are now,
That walk on the turf that has over their
brow,
And make in their dwellings a transient
abode,
Meet the tilings that they met on their pil
grimage road.
Yea, hope and despondency, pleasure and
pain,
Are mingled together in sunshine and rain,
And tlie smile and tlie tear, and the song
and tlie dirge,
Still follow each other, like surge upon
surge.
’Tis the wink of an eye; ’tis the draught
of a breath,
From tlie blossom of health to the paleness
of death,
From the gilded saloon to the bier and the
shroud;
Oh! why should the spirit of mortal be
proud ?

“1 here is no place like li°me,” said a

Among all tlie letters that came home
from the East, during the Crimean wav,
one of the most affecting was that of a
little drummer-boy to his mother. After
describing the hardships of that memora

the army endured, he concluded the letter
with the simple and touching words,
“Bat, mother, it’s our duty, and for our

Mr. Aytoun, the bard of Kinaldie, was
particularly indifferent respecting his attire,
but was noted for his powers both of com
pliment and banter. Walking one fine
morning on the Scores prominade at St.
Andrew’s lie met a lady acquaintance
whom he saluted with his usual courtesy.
“Good morning, madam : how well you
are looking to-day !” “I’m sorry I can’t
return the complinent,” responded the
lady, adverting to the plainness of the ap
parel. “Poll!” said Mr. Aytoun, “you

was a man, I would thrash you,” said she.
“If you were pretty, I would kiss you.”
“This is insufferable,” said the lady, gath

“That is true,” he replied, “whotheryour

A correspondent writing from Arkansas
Springs, describes a wedding which took
place between two persons who had never
seen each other until the day before. The
next morning two or three waggish fellows
informed him that his wile had a twin sis
ter, that they were so much alike it was
difficult, to tell them apart, and that he had
married the wrong one. The poor fellow
without saying anything to his wife, went
directly to the magistrate and wished him
to “undo what he had done, and marry
him to the right gal,” The worthy squire
told him that if he had known this the
eyening before, he would have fixed it
right, but too much time had elapsed, and
it was too late!
The common phrase, “Give the devil

ed to John Dodge, the Clerk of the Su

“Here lies John Dodge, who doged all

And never dodged an evil;
And after dodging all he could,
He could not dodge the devil!”
Mr. Dodge immediately sent back to the
gentlemen the annexed impromptu re
ply :
“Here lies a Hillman and a Swain,

AGRICULTURAL.
American vs. English Fanning.
Mr. X. A. Willard, of the Utica Herald,
who went to Europe last spring, for the
purpose of investigating the system of
farm management in that country, writes :
“I have often read accounts ot the im
mense crops of hay grown upon the
meadows in England. 1 think there must
be exceptions, for wherever I have been I
have seen no larger bulk of hay upon the
ground than in America. 1 have taken
special pains to make examinations ot
fields, with a view of comparing crops in
the two countries, and I have vet - to be
convinced that the production here is so
large, cu an average, as has been repre -
sented. I can not speak so well of quality,
as that, after all, is a matter to be determin
ed by the manger. And I must say this
for our farmers in New York, I have seen
nothing in the harvesting of the crop that.-,
is superior to the practice among our
best farmers. I have visited llctham
ated, Mr. (Lawes' estate) in some respects
the most noted farm in the world, certainly
in England, and many other fine farms
where the hav was being cut and cured,
and I can see’ nothing in tlie English prac
tice whereby the grass is saved with more
of its nutritive value than with us. The
grass is cut in flower, either by machine or
by hand, hay tedders are used, and if not
fit for the stack it is put up in cocks.
Everything is conducted in a most leisurely
manner. The workmen are numerous, but
: it would make a New York farmer ache to
i see the slow, plodding way in which the
work goes on. They have a very good
horse rake upon wheels, with strong iron
teeth, and the operator walks behind and
dumps by pressing upon a lever. It is a
very good machine for cleaning up after
the bulk of the hay is taken off. though we
j should esteem it much heavier than neces
sary. At Rothamsted, two men were rak
; ing after the cart. They had long-headed
; rakes, in which were set curved teeth of
| iron, and they cleaned up the hay by merely
j dragging the rake. The head of the rake
was some six feet in length, with a strong
: branch handle.
CURE FOR IIEAVEY HORSES.
A correspondent of the Massachusetts
Plowman, having had a large experience
with animals afflicted with the disease in
question, always with success, with a small
amount of labor, submits the following :
First, procure, if you have not one al
ready, a head halter, and tie the horse so
that he cannot eat the bedding; give for a
few days but little feed, and that wet, not
more than half the usual quantity, which
will relieve the breathing; after which
nutritious food is fed liberally with the
grain, and less hay, and so long as you do
so, your horse will not have the heaves.
If the owner wishes to hurry recovery, a
dose of physic (an ounce of powdered aloes)
will unload the bowels quicker. I have
owned several heavey horses, and after
treating them as stated above, I have
doubted whether they ever had the disease,
but after (by accident) a large amount of
hay had been devoured, the distressed
breathing and double action of the flanks
reasserted the facts.
SOURCES OF FARM MANURE.
W. H. White, of Windsor, Conn., writing
to the Boston Cultivator, on tie resources
a farmer has from which to draw fertilizers
foi his land, asks: ‘ ‘Does the reader make
the most of his resources? Is there noth
ing left that can be converted into fertilizers
material? How is it with the hog pen?
Is that supplied with good material to ab
sorb the liquid as well as the ammonia? A
free supply will tend to keep the hogs
clean and furnish a quantity of manure,
Then there is a privy, which is too fre
quently allowed to waste its ammonia, in
stead of absorbents supplied to fix it. A
tight vault, into which dry muck, plaster,
loam, etc., may be introduced and mixed,
will supply several loads of poudrette, su
perior to what the market affords, with
little labor. The lieu roost will supply
several barrels of good guano, of the qual
ity of which there is no question, when
home manufactured by supply of dry loam,
plaster, etc., with frequent overhauling.”
A CHEAP SMOKE HOUSE.
A correspondent of an exchange gives
the following as his plan for building a
smoke house:
No farmer should be without a good
smoke house, and such q one as will bo
fire-proof and tolerably secure from thieves.
Fifty hams can be smoked at one time in a
smoke house seven by eight feet square.
Mint- is six by seven, and is large enough
for most farmers. I first dug all the
ground out below, where the frost would
reach, and filled it up to the surface with
small stones. On this I laid my brick floor,
in lime mortar. The walls are brick, eight
inches thick and seven feet high, with a
door on one side two feet wide. The
door should be made of wood, and
lined with sheet iron. For the top I put
on joists, two by four, set. up edgewise,
and eight and a half from centre to centre,
covering with brick, and put on a heavy
coat of mortar. I Duilt a small chimney
on the top in the centre, arching it over
and covering it with a shingle roof’ in the
usual way. An arch should be built on
the outside, with a small iron door to shut
it up, similar to a stove door, with a hole
from the arch through the wall of the
smoke house, and an iron grate over it.
This arch is much more convenient and
better to put the fire in than to build the
fire inside the smoke house, and the chim
ney causes a draft through into the smoke
house. G ood corn cobs or hickory wood
are the best materials for making smoke for
hams. The cost of such a smoke house as
I have described is about thirty dollars,
but will vary in different localities.
Hints on Cooking, etc.
I Recipe vs. Receipt. —Many writers,
including some editors, use these words in
i discriminately. Though Webster gives
| the authority of Dryden and Arbuthnot
f for this custom, it would seem preferable
i to confine the use of the word “ receipt”
to its proper sense, the receiving of some
| thing, or the acknowledgment of its recep
tion, and use “recipe” only for directions
| for making compounds in cooking and
I medicines.
j Cream Beer. —Prepare a syrup thus:
I Into 3 pints of water put 2i lbs. white
j sugar, 2 ozs. tartaric acid, the juice of half
Ia lemon, and boil together five minutes.
; Then stir into it half cup of flour previously
I mixed up with some water. When nearly
: cold, add the whites of 3 eggs well beateii,
i and halfoz. essence of wintergreen. Put
! into a bottle and keep in a cool place. It
is ready for use at once, but improves with
age. _ To use, desolve 2 table spoonfuls of
this in a tumbler of water, and stir in j
teaspoonful soda. Always shako the bot
tle well before using the syrup.— M. L. B.
[A little white of an egg beaten and added
to. the common soda-water gives a peculiar
foaming or froth-like consistency to the
fluid when the gas-water is drawn in. We
saw the directions for adding the egg sold
in the W est a few years ago, at $ 1 to $5
each, to owners of soda-water fountains. —
Ed. \
Wedding Cake. —(Pronounced excel
lent at a great many weddings, says the
contributor: 1 lb. flour, 2 lbs raisins
seeded and chopped, 2 lbs. currants, l lb.
citron, 1 lb. sugar, j lbs. butter, 10 eggs,
two wine glasses brandy. Stir sugar and
butter to a cream, add yolks of eggs’, then
spicess then the flour in which has been
rubbed 2 tcasponfuls cream of tartar and 1
of soda ; then the fruit, and lastly the
whites of the eggs beaten to a froth. The
spices are 1 tablespoouful ground cinna
mon, 1 grated nutmeg, and one teaspoon
ful cloves. The loaves require from one to
two hours’ baking.
Jelly Cake.—Mix 2 cups flour, 1 cup
of milk, 1 cup sugar, i cup butter, 2 eggs,
1 teaspoonful sugar and 2 of cream of tar
tar. Divide into six parts, and spread each
as thin as possible in pans of uniform size.
Bake about 3 minutes ; when done, lay
together with layers of jelly between ; cov
er up the upper layer with plenty of sugar
sprinkled on, or with a thin frosting.
Bachelor s Pone. —Stir well together
1 qrt. sweet milk or sour milk with soda,
2 tablespoonfuls lard. 2 eggs, 3 teacups
white com meal, or enough to make a
moderate stiff batter. Bake in a loaf in a
quick oven.
Red Ants. — After our safes, cupboards,
etc., are washed and wiped as dry as they
can be with a wrung cut ploth, we sprinkle
on salt and rub it weli into the wood and
all the cracks and crevices with the same!
damp cloth, and have found it effectual !
against ants. — E. Carr. Camden, N. J.
Soft Gingerbread.— Two cups molas- !
ses, j eup water. \ cup butter or lard, 1
teaspooufu! soda, ginger and salt as de- 1
sired ; mix thin with flour.
“Hasty Pudding. — A housekeeper
directs : ' Nine tablespoonfuls of flour,
six eggs beaten light, one quart milk ;
have a hot oven and bake 20 minutes. Eat
with sauce : butter and sugar rubbed to a
cream, and flavored to your taste, is very
nice.” Such a hasty pudding must be
nice, if one ha.' plenty of cheap eggs. \Fe
should want some sugar in it. Our home
manuscript book calls this recipe ".Sunder
and Pudding.
Indian Meal Pudding.—Put a tea
cupfiil of meal into a teacupful of hot milk,
knd 3 beaten eggs. \ tablespoonful ginger
and cloves, butter half the size of an egg.
Boil 2 or 3 hours in a boiler.
Best Corn Bread.—Make a thick hat
ter of 1 qttart of sweet milk, and 1 quart
of buttermilk. 2 tablespoonful of saleratus
and oue of salt. 1 teacup molasses. 2 tea
cupfuls of wheat flour for shorts), and com
meal enough to thicken it. Bake two
hours in an oven a little hotter than for
wheat bread. A loaf still nicer espec : ally
for }>oor teeth, is made by using half the
above quantity, steaming it three hours,
and then baking enough to just brown the
top mcely.
Brown Bread,—Mi* 3 cups corn meal.
3 cups rye flour, j cup molasses with a
teaspoonful of soda dissolved in it, with a
sufficiency of cold water. Bake in a cover
ed dish, about 3 hours, in a slow oven.
Corn Dogers.— Salt and scald silted
corn meal. When cool wet the hands in
cold water and mold into cakes like biscuits,
but not very thick. Bake rather slowly,
on a griddle, in hot fat, browning first one
side and then the other, Split open and
eat while hot, with butter or syrup, or
with meat and gravy.
Preserving Green Corn.—To E. j*\
Green. Kalamazoo, Mich. We have
tried various methods of bottling and can
ning green corn, but never with satisfactory
results. We have also eaten that put
up by those who make a business of can
ning fruits and vegetables, but the corn
was always poor, to our taste. We know
of no way to put up green corn successfully,
except to cook it on the ears, then shave
off and dry it in a strong sunlight, or by
the fire, or in the oven. Preserved in this
way it is very palatable at a season when
g-eeu vegetables are scarce.
Meat Balls. —A good way to use bits
of cold meat. Cold beef or pork, chopped
very fine, put into a dish with an egg to
each i lb., crumbs of bread soaked and
mashed fine, 2 onions (if liked) chopped
well : season well with salt if fresh, and
with pepper. Make into small cakes and
fry in plenty of lard
Heating Botltes for Fruit.— “ Su
bscriber. '' of Columbus, N. J., writes that
she washes and wipes the jars dry, and
then sets them in the oven until too hot to
handle without a cloth. As wanted they
are taken out, set on a warm board and the
hot fruit poured in. In this way she has
broken only one bottle in three years. By
the hot water plan, described on page 2C2
| (July), we have not broken one in putting
up the last four hundred.
Claret Wine Stains. —A Wilbraham
j (Mass.) subscriber says that these may be
I removed from a table cloth by rubbing the
spot, as soon as made, tboroughlv with
| common salt. When washed, the stain
will entirely disappear.
To Color Scarlet. —For one pound
of cloth or yarn, mix in warm water, j
once cream of tartar and 1 ounce pulverized
coachneal ; add 2 ounces muriate of tin.
Stir until it scalds, then put in the cloth
or yarn.— Housekeeper, name unknown.
Deserted.
Tlie river flowed with the light on its breast,
And the waves wore eddying by ;
And the round, red sun went down in the
West,
When my love's loving lips to my lips
were prest
Under the evening sky-
Now weeping alone bytlie river I stray,
For my love has left me this many a
day ;
Left me to droop and die.
As the river flowed then, the river flows
still,
In ripple, and foam, and spray,
On by the Church, and round by the hill,
And under the sluice by the old burnt
mill,
And out to the fading day ;
But I love it no more, for delight grows
cold
When the song is sung and the tale is
told,
And the heart is'given away.
Oh ! river, run far ! Oh ! river, run fast!
Oh ! weeds, float on to the sea !
For the sun hasgonedown onmybeautiful
past,
And the hope that like bread on the waters
I east,
Have drifted away like thee !
So the dream it is fled and the day it
is done,
And my lips will murmer the name of
one
Who will never comp back to me.

AUGUSTA, GA.
THE SCHOOL WILL RE-OPEN OC
JL TUB Kit 3d. The Scholastic year will consist of
TIIIRTY-FIVE WEEKS of SESSION and TWO jf vaca
tion at Christinas.
The Misses SEDGWICK desire to make their School
one of superior excellence, and no pains wiil be spared to
accomplish their end. Augusta, from its central position
from the well-known and universally re
finement of its society, presents very superior advantages
as a place wherein to establish such a SCHOOL. The
house secured is LARGE and AIRY, the rooms commo
dious and well ventilated, and attached is a large Orna
mental Garden, presenting a desirable place for pleasant
aiul healthful exercise. There will be a FRENCH GOVER
NESS in the fa mil >, of established ability, with whom the
younK ladies will be obliged always to converse in French.
The Pupils will be under the constant supervision of EX
PERIENCED and REFINED TEACHERS, and their
Moral and Religious training will be carefully attended to.
The course of study will embrace all the various English
branches and Mathematics, necessary for a thorough and
accomplished education, and will include VOCAL and IN
STRUMENTAL MUSIC, DRAWING, PAINTING, and
the LATIN, GERMAN and FRENCH LANGUAGES, VO
CAL MUSIC will be a daily exercise in the School. As
the number of Boarding Pupils is limited, preference will be
given those who apply to enter the family for the Scholastic
year. Circulars containing terms and additional particulars
for both Boarding and Day Pupils maybe obtained by ad
dressing the Principals.
Classes will be formed in French, Vocal and Instrumental,
Music and Drawing and Painting for those Youug Ladies
who do not wish to enter the School asday pupils.
