This i s probably owing to the f#t that the original fountain bend of the butter—th "old cow,'" does not receive the right kind of raw material from which to manufacture the cream.

MANURE. — We have frequently cantioncd • farmers not to bury their manure too deep iu the soil, as the tendency if their juice-is duwn w.-id—not upsvard. A writer in an exchange says: "I Lave found in uli experiments tint : rli" nearer I kept the manure to the top of the ground, the more 1 got from it. 1 spread at the rate of thirty u forty loads of manure: I theu put the plough iu from ten to twelve inch es deep—it was iin-id fashioned plough ami turned it over vcry-'fl it and smooth.

FAWI>I:ST FOR LITTERING STABI.ES —This is quite valuable to ab-orb the liquids and to prevent the tout odors arising from stables. If ammonia is one of the mosi powerful fertiizers, why should not the greatest pains be taken to save it? For this purpose, saw dust is just the thing. It is useful, also, on the .-core of the horse's health and comfort. It is injurious to' au animal s feet to stand in the liquids of his stall: it is hurtful to his eyes and Ins stomach, and his lungs, t remain long iu an atmosphere j charged with the powerful vapors arising ftotu those liquids.

DEATH OF COL. LEHMAXOWSKY. We regiet to learu that Col. Lehinanowsky. lat one time a resident of Lancaster county, j died in Clark county, Indiana, on the 4th inst. i He was a Pole by birth, aud an officer under Napoleon during his wars, lie was a tuau of great bravery, and saw hard service, as the nu merous scars that he wore testified. Ho won distinguished honors iu the service, aud was ardently attached to tbo interests of Napoleon. When the latter entered France from Elba, Letiuiauowsky, with many others of bis old companions iu arms, revolted from the Allies aud joined his standard, the peualty tor which was death, and after the defeat of Waterloo,his lite being forfeited acid himself hunted, be pas sed through the taost severe trials aud priva tions in attempting lo escape to this country, and finally, atter two years of stratagem and suffering that few could have endured, he reached the United States nud settled iu this country. He afterwards removed to Washing ton City, and there beoame a minister of the Lutheran denomination, in which capacity he continued to his death. From YVashiugton ho removed to Indiana, where he died. Colonel Lehuiauowsky was a friend and com panion in arms of the late Dr. Jas. C. Vet beke, of Harrisburg. They saw oue another for the last time for uiany years, on the memo rable battle-field of Waterloo, from which each escaped a marked victim.

UV c. 31. KKND \LI.. Miss -Tally Strong was a peculiar woman.— For sixty years site had retained her name, which exactly suited tier hard nature; and the niati having die assurance to ask her to ex change it for his own, would have been a rare companion for Uuutmtugs in his tiger hunts in the jungles of Africa. At least, no one in the village of 1> would tlre to question his manhood. She was one of those who seemed to have been horn an old maid in prospective. Bs --fore site had arrived at Iter teens, she used to stone the hoys with a malignant delight; and ere she was out of them tier contempt for the opposite sex wis so strikingly manifest,! that aii prudent young men, if accidentally walking upon the same sidewalk, to avoid a ; meeting, would very quietly cross to the oUter j side, and allow her the irLcht of it. Vet she was a privileged person, and people ; would smile at ari ill-natured remark from her, j as though tt were a complimeut. Evou the ! young mmister of tlie jsuish treated tier with i marked respect, although he was certain to have 1 his U*i settifm wonderfully criticised, in an swer ton kind inquiry regarding her health.— f The seerer of all this might have been written in three words—die was rich; and even the j clergyman wis wot Idly-minded enough to ue- ' sire to be on goo t forms wtt.ii erne who wis the j largest eoiitrifitiror to his snpnort. Ar.nt Sally, as the villagers universally cD ' led her, had received the bulk of her property j froui a deceased aunt, which tier shrewd tou.-i- | ness qualities had enabled her to invest so i. 1 v.ir.tajeou.siy that she itiereased in we.i'th . s she did in years, and, like many otlier rich pen- j pie advanced in life, had scores of affectionate i youug relatives, who ftav'i hoped to obtain a j large slice of lite cuke of real estate which I would be cut tfp iu the event of her decease, f Uer cold grey eyes were too shrewd not t.l see through titeir eager attentions to the very ; selfishness of titc'r source. Otto nephew, however, did not belong to tills ! class of schemers. On the contrary, the old | lady was very often the victim of his 'yoke*, j and he Would dispute with her just for the sake < of having a hot argument. Yet for any real service, she would oftener apply to him titan j any oue else. .S!, e had even loaned him & sunt j sufficient to stock a fine store, bit still this ! FredorieV. so often annoyed and vexed her. i that public opinion—extending no farther, of course, than the limits of the villige—wis j equally divided as to whether he would bo the favorite heir, or be cut off with a shilling. One evening, upon the meeting of the pcri-h I sewing circle at tho house of the clergyman, j this nephew perpetrated a j >ke upon his aunt, j the result of which he never forgot. FLc, u:- * like most maiden ladies, considered these gath- ! erings a sort of fashionable nuisance, but usu ally was present in order to indulge in her .sar castic remarks, ller nephew was there, osten sibly to wait upon his aunt, but tho fair Lucy, daughter of the worthy practitioner, Dr. Blood, | particularly allured htm with her charms. .'Did it ever occur to you, girls, what you are here for?' said Aunt Sally. 'To be sure, aunt,' answered one of the nieces, 'simply to uiuko clothing for the poor heathen.' 'O, in Firm, Bunnah, aud other like plaoes. ' W ell, heavy woollen shirts are very sorviceo- j hie gar men -, upon my word,for the people liv ing under a tropica! sun. They will doubtlest i be very grateful for clothing so suited to their climate - ' ' ell doit",aunt," exclaimed Frederick. 'A good shot, and no mistake. But these circles ' ate grand affairs, .after ail.' 'Grand affairs, indeed, for young men to say soft tilings, and silly "iris to listen to them! Grand affairs to dispense the accumulated ges- , sip of a month' Grand affairs for scandal mo- i vttig, and for everything but tho purpose they profess.' And uunt Sally looked about.her with a tri umphant glance, as though her charges were unanswerable. In fact, too many felt the justice of her re buke to measure words with her. F.ven Fred erick agreed so much with her in the abstract that he was content to lemain silent. Having achieved such a moral victory, tho lady con tinued in unwonted good humor dutiug the rcot. of the evening. \\ hen the party broke up, as Frederick was taking leave of his young them's, with his j aunt upon one arm and the fair Lucy upon the j other, the old lady suddenly remembered that | she had left her muff. 'Oh, nevor mind, aunt,' said the young man, 'I will get it *tjd send it up to you ;.t the morning.' 'Bui I do mind, Fred, for it is not my way to leave thiugs about in this manner. But where can it be? I certainly left it with my bonnet and cloak.' 'Somebody must have tsken it,' cried one. 'That is impossible,' answered another, for aunt's muff is unlike all others.' 'That is true,' said Fred, laughing, 'as a barrel is unlike a two-gallon keg.' And lie gave Lucy a mischievous giancc, which she in terpreted to luean.thnt ho knew tho wherea bouts ot the missing article better than any one else. 'lt certainly is not with any of the ladies' things,' said one of the young relatives. .'Oh,-plague upon you all!' was tho kind re ply; 1 must hunt -tup tuyself, I suppose,' | ' DeaoonGtij, jou have not taken aunt's muff oy mistake, !iwe yon?' asked Fred inaii eious.ly. T hat functionary drew himself up stiffly, as though the imputation was unworthy of an an swer, and stepped aside. 'Weil, I never,' exclstitmd oiic of the voun•' ! ladies. j 'W' lip could have done i;V added unothe-. i 'He silent —will yon?' cried the irritable | sua; en, or tell me where 1 can tind if.'

'O, fle upon you, unt' Such a hint, knd ; t:w deacon uuiy a recent widower,' exclaimed f Mio laughing nephew. j Aunt Sally seized her muff, but the hat ad hered most affectionately to tt. i>y an angry wrench it was liberated, and the unoffending sat fietv across the entry, projected by the vig orous foot of the incensed maiden. When it | arrived at the terminus of its short journey, , it had assumed a most questionable shape, and its con filiori might certainly have been termed •jfchociviug had.' j • 'l'll p>y you for this, young man.'

'No, 1 wilt tell you no falsehood about it; be i intended it as a j.>kc upon the stiff dea ; as much or mure tnan upon yourself.' 'At least, it is hut an ill rrick you have j played upon me, and now mark my words: You ! shall have reason to remember this muff to the i j 'latest day of your existence.' : ®"*As you please, aunt, since ,- ou take it so ■ sfriously, but 1 didn't think tiii.t a silly jekc j louht haive thus offended you." | Time thus passed on, and young Strong prospered famously in his business. He had j Amassed sufficient means IO be enabled to nay his aunt tbe mi : u she had loaned kirn, but she declined receiving it, alleging that she prefer it'i to have it n interest. In the meantime he tfnd also persu .de.l the gentle Lucy to share his fortunes. As for aun-c Sally, a singular mama seemed to possess iier. in matters of real estate, stock, A.-., she had become a per fect alchemist, turning all to gold. The n igbors ail looked ou and wondered, but none dared .remonstrate with her. Sim was often seen to visit the office o; Squire j&ay > d it wss ruuiorcd that she was luaKmg the final arrangement for the bestowal j lof her property after her decease. Tneaff.iri ; of the muff was not forgotten, and it was cur rent wit.:i the gO"d villagers that Fred would | have to pay dourly for the 'joke. One morning the village was ni! ac'ipn.— j During the night the spirit.of the redoubtable I i lady had taken its, flight. She was found dead | in her chair, ami bad died is she lived, aione. j She had alarmed no one, duriug ti, night, nor j had she suffered previous illness. Curiosity,! jof coarse was intense on the .subject of her , j will, and it was produced as soon as decency ! I would allow. AH her connections were pres j ent, HIII. their eager, hopeful anxious counto- . nances would have furnished a rare subject for i tbe pencil of an artist. The reading of the | will proceeded, until it was finished except a | smgie codicil. L ich of b-r relatives, except ; her nephew, had been remembered—some to a greater extent than others, but none consider able. At ail events, not one-third of ber fortune had been dispensed, and as the codicil only re ; maiued, all ayes were turned to Frederick Slioiig r.s the lucky one after all. Hut what was their surprise, when they found that it on ly made iiiui the recipient of her old sable | muff ami contents. Tho word 'contents' again ! excite ] their curiosity, and to satinty tjvm, | the article was produced and found to contain \ a simple paper sewed ou to the lining. When i detached and opened, in the bold hand writing ; of Aunt S illy were found these words: 'DEAR NEPHEW.—YOU will doubtless ap- j j preciato tki<, the last joke 1 shall ever be guil- 1 j tv of, us I appreciated yours on a certain time j I yon remember. God bless you and yours.— ; ! Farewell.' Frederick declared he was satisfied. The ' old lady had fairly retorted upon him, ami he i cdrtuiniy deserved Dothing boiler at Ler j hands. Hut what hid become of aunt Sally's uioiie- ' —that was the mystery, and it became inoie and more a 'nine days' wonder to the worthy | villagers who discussed it on every occasion.— 1 ffiie was to have a large sum of money at various banks, but all this the anxious rela tives ascertained was drawn out a few days be te, re her death. Squire A was consult ed, who had drafted tho will, but. be stoutly 1 maintained that the will covered the whole of her property, and he would nave nothing fur ther to do with it. One evening, about six months after the old lady's death, while Frederick wis conversing : witn his wife, the subject of the tnnff was intro duced. 'That was a costly joke of yours, dear Fred,' said hi* wifo gaily. 'Ha; I go. the muff at 11 events, Lucy, and what is better, no one has come forward to claitu the three thousanddollravs which sue loaned uie. 1 fee! confident she. intended to present it it me and therefore destroyed my note.' 'Let us have a look at the old relic ; Fred, if the moths have not eaten it wholly up. 1 will 1 return with it in a moment. The muff was produced, and, as Lucy pre dicted, the lining was wofully moth eaten. i •My dear wife, you must look to this, for I prize it dearly on good Aunt Sally's account. ' I think you had better rip out the lining, and J renovate the whole with camphor.' Lucy took her scissois and coiumenod at once on her task, 'What can the 01 1 lady have stuffed it with ,1 wonder? Why, Fred, instead of cotton she has wadded it with dirty brown paper.

We cony tiie following pioasai.t sketch from | , the New York Courier aud Enquirer. It is I taken from a private letter written by a get)- ! tleuiau, who is at present sojourning near Tal- ' lahassee, Florida. He says : j "I was much interested in tne negro eelebm- j i tiou oi Christmas. The town was filled with | ! these children of Slain—some mounted high in > carts, some ou mules, and others ou foot— | magnificent aunties wnh towering turbans, j vouug damsels decked in every variety of fi i uery, and little black imps iu neat white aprons ; } U with pockets well supplied with cash, j | wlu3h in every way th_y wore fast ridding I : themselves 01. !ne masters are exceeding lib | oral iu ihe bestowal of Christmas gifts.

The invitation was ea gerly accepted, and with dugs, gnus, and ail the accoutrements necessary wc seen set, out. Lit a i iue was it,II <>t interest and uoveirv. Our w*.y was over a tiiliy, sandy road, between hed ges ot the wild rose, the leaves yet green, urni here and (here the swelling buds'burstimr forth into tiny flowers of tare beauty. The water Oaks and the myrtle, the tuugnpiias and :he ferns, gave ati appearance of perpetual spriug to the scenery. In the low hotturns were groves of grand old oaks, stripped of their leaves, yet with their limbs draped with festoon* ot silvery tuwss, tvaviug gently with every motion o; the air. hxtensive cotton plantations were on either side, with negroes picking the last batch, their black heads .-ceil just above the surrounding white—a curious mingling of cotton and wr>d At a distance were seen lite quarters—quite a collection ot ueat white houses, As we sp proacheo, w - observed in many ease.-, thai they lonnoil a long street, with rows of trcs iiHroot. l'hey were well adapted tor comfort, and were titled up with considerable taste. And bore, 1 may say, that in no slave State is the black laborer mote comfortably situated than in this particular region. .My own belief is that the plantation sisves of the South are the happiest i l is* of laborers the suntshiues upon; but no where have I seen better fed, better clothed or better housed negroes, than in this immedi ate vicinity. After ten miles' ritio we reached Lake Jackson, and never shall I forget the view its shores afforded us. tMrctching away fifteen miles, hemmed in by irregular shores, inlaid with numberless islands, it presented a strangi ly, beautiful aspect. 1 pulled up my hoi so just us his feet touched the little waves, and gazed for a full half hour. Within n stone's throw were a countless number of ducks of every va riety, from the liugc branch to the tufted etuss bact. The tvooos resounded with the impa tient cluck of wilu turkeys, while overhead, the arched sky gave back the incessant cry of ten thousand geese. Lpon the sand bars, we could distinguish the outlines of huge alligators, calmly biding their time, until some well fed pig might stray that way. A mile across the little bay was the large and beautiful residence of the ex-Governor. It was situated upon a high bluff, which at oneo over-looked the lake and two thousand acres of the best cotton lands on the hroad earth.— While we yet gazed, the sun went down, and tue sky and lake reflected back its glories in soft and brilliant tints of every hue. llur lingtoti, renowned-for its suuse's, never wit nessed such a scene. We forded the bay, and by dark f< und ourselves at the door of the bouse, surrounded by a whining pack of hounds that seemed to have awaited our coming. After supper, 1 entered into conversation with the cx-Governor; and never have 1 lisien ed to a man with greater pleasure. He is a fino representative of the old Whig party. His language was terse, pithy, and most expressive ami witty or eloquent, ho was full of sterling seuse. He denounced tlie Democratic party in severest terms—characterizing the Sous lien de mocracy as the most arrogaut, domineering, intolerant party that ever cursed any conn try in any age—ready at any time to mingle in one common ruin botii country and Constitution, f their insane purposes eouid not he effected ; vacillating hither und thither, restless as the waves, without priuoiple; or any ruie of truth or justice for guidance, and recklessly holding on their way, threatening destruction to both friend or foe that should attempt to reason with or opposo theui. This impressed mo all the more, when I observed on the walls of the room two large portraits of General Jackson and wife, taken expressly for the Governor while living with the General at the Hermi tage."

An old ch ip in Connecticut, who was inc'of the most niggardly men known in that part of ihe country, cartied on the blae.ksiuitlnng busi ness very extensive ly: and, as is generally the cast- rti that state, boarded all of bis own baud*. Arid to show Imw he envied the men what they eat, he would have a bowi of bean soup dished up for himself to cool, while that for the hands was serve.] up in a large pan just from the boiling pot. This old fellow had an appren tice who was rather unlucky among the hot irons frequently burning his fingers. The old ■nun scolded him severely one day for being so Carole*.- . How can I tell, said the boy, if they are hot unless they are red? "Never touch anything again till you spit on ir, if it don't hiss it won't bum." In a day or two the man sent the boy in to see if his sous was cool. The boy went in— spit in the fowl, of eoursc{ilie soup did not hi-s. lie went back and told the boss ail was right. Dinner' cried he. All hands run, down sal the old man at the head of the table; and in went a large spoonful of the baiting hot soup to his mouth. Good heavens! crieu the old man, in the greatest rage. "What did you tell me that lie for yon young rascal!" 1 did not lie, .-aid the boy vcty innocently. "You told tin' 1 should spit on anything to try if it was hot; 1 spit in your bowl, ami the soup did not hiss, so I .supposed it was cool." Judge of the effect ou the jours. That boy nevei was in want of friends among the journey men. 'KF.F-r YOUR MOUTH SHUT.' —Never allow the action of respiration to be carried on through the mouth. The nasal passages are clearly thh medium through which respiration was hy our Creator designed to be carried ou. 'God breathe ed into man's nostrils the breath of life,' pre vious to his becoming a living creatnre. The difference in the exhaustion of strength hv a loug walk with the mouth firmly closed, and res piration carried on through the nostrils instead of through the month is inconceivable to those who have never tried the experiment. It is said that the habit of carrying on the KOik of inspiration and expiration through the mouth is ihe origin ofaluiost all the diseasescf the throat and lungs. A few days *!nce, a rough, country looking fellow cnteicti one of the New Y'ork Banks, and umrolling up to the counter, exclaimed, "Hero I nm, I want you to take a fair look at me." Without a uoid further he strode out. The next day the same customer appeared, ut tered ihe same words, and again disappeared. The third day,at about the same time, he walk ed in, and advancing{io the teller's desk, thre# dowu a draft payable three datys after sight.— "Now," said he, "you've seenaie three time#, I want the money for it!"
