T.nrrrna A mrracnonjent i of "Porter's Spirit," writing from Kock- ford, Illinois, gets off the following : Dear Spirit : A lawyer ont here, who has been a member of the Legislature, and somewhat nqtpd for his forensic tal ents especially in criminal cases, was try ing a false pretense for the people. - In his summing op, after a few groeral remarks as to tho crime, drawing himself up to bis full height (5 feet 2 inches.) and pointing his finger and "eagle eye" at the imiUCl Alt IIIUUUVLlUg lUUCa UC CAIIIIUlliUt I "Yes gentlemen of the jury, look at that j man there is f-r-o-u painted in the most laudable characters- of living light on his brow." T'ic "guffgaws" and old hats that "went up" on that occasion were "pleasant to behold." Another "limb" away down in Liv ingston county, who was somewhat if not more, celebrated for the indiscrimi nate use of large words, once said : "Gen tlemen of the jury, this is a very peculiar case : "yes gentlemen, one of the most obstetrical cases I ever knew."- It was about shooting a four shilling dog. The first-lawyer's speech reminds ns of a speech by another Illinois lawyer a prominent man and a "General," by the way. He was pleading in a case in "?ch he charged the opposite party with frand. Raising himself on his "tip toes" and swinging his right arm three times around his head be exclaimed : "If that ain't a case of rod, then f-r-o-d don't spell frod." A certain distinguished citizen of who had filled tho highest oflire in the State, was once in the employ of a farmer in Western New York. Among other things it was his duty to 'bring the cows.' One evening ths cows and boy came np missing. Some years after, the farmer was passing down Water Street, Milwau kee, and saw the name of his cow-boy over the door of one of the largest hard-; ware houses in the W est. He walked m and found his boy in the counting room. He stared a moment upon the truant, and then broke out with "Hello, L!n., have you found them cows yet ?" One can imagine what followed a mutual recogni tion It is said the farmer was pacified without a breach of the peace. Tens Ovkk aso Oblige. We find a capital anecdote going the ronnds with out credit, of a merchant entering his of fice in the morning, and finding his boy Bobby, attempting to throw all sorts of :V- V somersets, and k . ..... 1 1 , 1. .1 ! . . . i- J . i i , ... evolutions oi tne boy.

It is a custom among the Japanese to pay offeverydebt ou Xew .Year's Eve. The osaga is im perative and constitutes a necessary pre liminary to tbe festivities of the following day, which are enjoyed with greater ear liest than thoso .of any other occasion. Suppose it had been a positive law in the United States that every man should pay bis debts last New Year's Eve, under ome severe penalty tho loss of his din ner for instance how many would have sighed in vain for their boiled or roast turkey ! ' Oa New Year's day, as a down town merchant entered his honso, bo was met by his wife, who threw around his neck a gold chain. "There, hubby," exclaimed his wife, "is a New Year's gift for you!" "Oh ! yes," rejoined the husband, with great coolness, "I paid the bill for it about an honr ago." "You did," ex claimed tho lady, with equal indifference, "why, I told the jeweller to . let it go on 1u. Jnlv bill." : A Fbaver Cct Short.

AVe read of a single connty in Illinois producing over a mil lion bushels of grain ; and we now hear from one in the State, who is acquainted with what he writes, and with facU upon vhich to base his reasoning, that he csti- i mates the wheat crop of Illinois this year j at 35,000,000 bushels, and the crop of j corn at 200,000,000 ; and, says the wri- j ter, I am persuaded the conclusions are . correct, as almost any one who should see these extensive fields wonld be of like opinion. i I he same writer, in a lettefTo the 2ev-i ark Advertiser, says of one of the farm ers in Marshall county, where tho wheat averages from 22 to 25 bushels to the acre: "He wocld like to sell at once, and if I we will give him 90 cents per bushel, he II . 1 f tt Ml I win engage to aeuver u an at our mui in ; ten uays. nut mat is cue starting price ' for the harvest, and the immense crop promises that we can buy shortly for less ' money.

As yet however, no decline has occur red, and those who by diligence have got their grain forward, have realized famine prices, in the midst of overflowing plenty. As an indication of how gradually this decline is expected by dealers in this market to occur, we may mention that a few days since 15,000 bushels of spring wheat deliverable between the 1st and the 10th ol September, bnyer's option, sold at $1,02, and 15,000 bushels sold yester day upon similar terms at 81,01.

What will those persons who have been accustomed to consider five hundred acres- a large farm think of the following ? Tbe editor of the "Spirit of the Agricultural Press" has recently been o;i a visit, to the farm ofM. i. bullivant, Esq., in the south eastern part of Champaign county, Illi nois. ' Tho farm contains over twenty thoutand acres, and although only about seven thousand acres are under cultiva tion, employs over ono hundred men. Three thousand acres are planted in corn, and the editor estimates that the farm will produce at least 15,000 bushels of wheat this year, besides large quantities of bar ley, oats, flax, dec. Mr. Sullivant em ploys five different reapers this season, and threshes, immediately after cutting, employing an engine as his power in the latter operation. A blacksmith's shop is located on the farm, and continually employed in repairing farm implements ; a school is kept up for the education of the children of the workmen. One ban- dred and twentv-five yoke of oxen and ififlJ borses are employed. It must be acknowledged that this is something of a farm, and that Mr. Sullivant possesses much executive ability to successfully manage such a concern ; yet we are in formed that everything moves on as reg ular as the click of a chronometer. .This is but one of the many large farms which noT grace tho broad prairies of that and altmninT rAlintioc nnnn rf nfii..Ti aro en larcraaatlns- lnl l.rr -nnal trf . the wonder and admiration of outsiders, j who know nothing of the magnificent i M est LouuvUle Courier.

Edited by KJvrard P. Montairue." We quote from the Diary the following description : " EDXESDAT, April ZD, IBIS moraine we are examining the hills of Usdom, and seeking, with a good deal of curiosity, the ever-famous "Pillar or Salt," which marks the judgment of God upon Lot's wife. On pulling round the shores of the sea, wo saw an immense column, round and turret-shaped, facing . ' . . wm- . towards the southeast, mis, we were toM by onr Arabs, was the pillar ot salt which Lot's wife was encased at the overthrow of Sodom. . With some diffi- Cu!tv we landed here, and our esteemed commander and Dr. Anderson obtained specimens from it, and Mr. Dale took mensions enualled those of this column. Many think that the stature of Lot's wife Many think that the t was equal to the pi" Bible speaks of. VVui Ml peaks oL Let that pillar be where it may, and whatever its size, they will not probably credit that this is the pillar. Preconceived notions have much to do with the matter, and they would have everybody think that she was at Once transformed into a column of very fine-grained beautifully while salt, about five feet or a few inches more in height, ... . . amt in circumlerence that ola common sized person of the nineteenth century, B that as it may. no two minds have. perhaps, formed exactly the same opinion on this matter who have not visited this spot. But here" we are, around this im mense column, and we find that it is real ly of solid rock salt, one mass of crystal ization. It is in tho vicinity which is pointed ont in the Bible in relation to the matter in question, and it appears to be the only one of its kind here. And the Arabs of the district, to whom this pillar is pointed out, declare it to be Lot s wife. the identical pillar of salt to .which tbe Bible has reference ; the tradition having been banded down troiu eadi generation to their children, as the Americans will hand down to succeeding generations the tradition of 15 linker s- Hill Monument, in Boston.

The undersigned, havinr obtained, during the twenty odd years which be devoted mainly to Revolutionary Claims, at Washington, a large amount of facts and proofs connected with the services of officers of the Revolution, and hav n a eaaulete Htt ot all those Continental Offi- 1 eers who were promised half-pay by the several resolves of COnffress, and f those arsewhose widows and children were entitled to "seren years' half pay " under the revive ef 24th Au-: gust, 170, will be prepared to prosecute such claims, if the Ml rtfmirtl to pav such claims, hitherto favorably acted upon ia both Houses of Congress, at different times, shall become a law; and of this but little doubt is entertained. The undersigned will also gire his especial attention to Atmc Virginia Bounty LmnJ Claims j and Virginia half paw Claims, which remain an- adjusted, and also to any and all other classes of demands upon tne unrernment, whicn may be of sufficient magnitude to afford a reasonable compensation. ' Prompt attention will be given to the collec tion ef individual debts, and to all professional holiness in the Courts of the District. The andersigned will be prepared by tbe 1st of July, to furnish Circulars to all eorrespeod ents, giving Ihem such information as they may require before engaging his services, and which Circulars will save much time and labor in jr respoodenee. They will be sent to all who my desire them. Me win aiso ne prepared u lurnun w msec who may require them (and for a reasonable comnensatlon) full and complete lists of the Cf- of the Continental Army whose eases are I . .Ml I ' l L 1 - emoracea in we onus which pair oven pcnuing in Congress for the last two or three years, and on which, as before stated, favorable action has been bad in each House at different sessions of Congress. - Desirous of placing within the reach of all tbe I descendants of Revolutionary Offiem the means of ascertaining wnetntr mr sat tne names oi weir ancestors are found upon tbe authentic rolls of the Armv, among those embraced in the bills referred to, the undersigned will fumiiui for p. (tcolwa, to au publishers or newspapers who will eive this advertisement tkree insertions in their papers respectively (and send a copy thereof to him) full liU of the tfietn mJSrtmid fur tne thir teen original Statro. The publication of these lists will enectuaiiy remove one main oojeeiion to the DTOposcd bill which has been raised by some members of Congress, to-wit: that these claims were known ngfln to ngenU, who would charge exorbitant commissions for the presecu- tion ana recovery oi inem, leaving out mue to tbe claimants If claimants, with a full knowledge of their rights, think proper to gire -", or any other portion of their claims to their attorneys the government has no right to complain. If mem bers of Congress, instead of fulminating their wrath against oyentt, wonld procure the publica tion of the lists of claims embraced in every law they enact, (so far as the records of the gov ernment furnish the names of parties entitled.) they would render a tar more valuable service to their constituents, than by oppooimg a law to pay just claims on the pretext that agents will receive large fees for their services. It is not, however, the purpose of ttie under signed to interfere, in any manner, with mem bers of Congress, in the discharge of their in He, nor with agents in the recovery of their coram u si oj, whether high or low. The publica tion of the lit in the newspapers, is, in his judgment, a simple act of justice to claimants and it is but just to nimseu, ana cannot possibly be complained of by others when he states, that for the prosecution and recovery of the claims of Officers ot tbe Continental Army, whose names are on the lists referred to, his commis sions wilt uniformly be. Se per cent, on the amount recovered. His commissions in other cases will be a matter of special contract. To save all unnecessary correspondence, the undersigned states, that be caaaof attend to claims of soldiers Tor pensions under the act of 1832, nor can he make investigations into any pension cases " snspendeJ " by the Pension Of fice, without the pre-payoafmt of a fee. The ca ses of widows, under the act of 3d of February, 185.1, who are entitled to arrears from 1&48, will be proaecuted in the Court of Claims for a com mission of ten per cent, on the arrears. Letters making inquiries about claims of va rious descriptions, cannot be answered, unless a fee accompanies the application. The time re quired to examine cases, and the necessary ex pense of correspondence, in time, postages, Ac, kc, forbid such examinations, without some com pensation therefor. Persons who may wish to know on what trrm generally, tbe undersigned will investigate and prosecute elaims, may learn, by addressing him a letter enclosing a postage stamp and asking for his " Circular to corretmondemte."
