Webster's Position. We particularly refer those who are so solicitous to identify Mr. Wkbstku with the opposition''to Gen. Scott, to the following.' The Boston Atlas says, in relation to the movements of the friends of 31 r. Webster: '?We have the nssurnnce of gentlemen high in his confidence, and undoubted in their personal at tachment, that 31 r. Webster does not sanction or approve these movements, and that he is now only awaiting the proper time to come forward himself and disavow them." The licistoti Courier in giving the proceedings ol a meeting of the Webster men held on Thursday evening says: "Rev. A. Winslow qualified thestatementwhich he made in relation to .Mr. Cnoate. He said that that gentleman never told liini that he would go for Mr. Webster and not forGeri. Scott; and that his statement to that effect was merely an iafereuce drawn from conversations which he had had with Mr. fJhoate." Tho Fishery Question. The New York Express of Friday evening makes the following statement in reference to the Fishery troubles, which is a little more detailed than tliat which we have already announced by Telegraph: "We have received some information of a deci sive character concerning the matter in controver sy between the two governments. Letters have been shown us, from high and reliable authority, which give the most positive assurance to their cor respondents here, that the fishery question has al ready been satisfactorily adjusted between the American Minister and the British Government, and that despatches to that effect were transmitted by the Asia." The National Intelligencer of Saturday referring to the same subject, says? "All private letters by the last steamer from Eng land, as well as the tone of the leading English pa IrvTH, would seem to indicate the most pacific state of feeling on the other side of the Atlantic. We are happy to believe that the Fisheries will not prove a source even of irritation, much less a cause of hostility?thanks to the good sense of those who have the direction of affairs on both sides." IP We insert the following for the benefit of our citizens who intend visiting the Fair at Cleveland. We may add that Mr. Ci.ki.i.avo, the gentlemanly Conductor of the Wellsville & Cleveland Railroad, will "put them through" in the right kind of style. "In answer to many inquiries, I would say that the trains upon the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Rail road, will carry passengers to the Annual State Fair, on the 15th, Kith and 17th of September, at half the regular rates, so far as their accommoda tions will permit. Two trains will run to and from Bayard to Cleveland, and one train from Wellsville to Cleveland, per day. Leave Wells ville at * past 12 o'clock, M. C. PRENTISS, Pres'f. Ravenna, Aug. 53, 1852. OHIO. The Buckeye State, with her characteristic en thusiasm, is '-wide awake," and furnishes the most Cheering evidence that the State is good for Scott and Graham. Numbers who have heretofore vo ted the so-called Democratic ticket are repudia ting the modern Democracy of the Baltimore Con vention nominees. The State Journal of the 21st tilt, Lays:?We have been shown another list of on* hundred Democrats, in a single county, who will vote for Gen. Scott ! Another letter from the Miami Valley says: "As to our prospects here, they arc very flattering." Another from the south west says.* "I think we shaii be able to give Gen. Scot! more than the Whig strength in this county." Another from the NorthWest says:?"Quite as much zeal and energy are exhibited in this part of thedistrict, as in any prior campaign since 1840." Another speaking of the Whigs of his county says:?"My word for i;, they will do better than ever before." Another says':?"We are awake here; I think I am not mistaken in the stroiig hope of giving Ohio to Scott." Another says:?"The prospect of gaining pretty largely from the Locofocos is increasing. Almost every Whig I converse with, spoke of knowing loco focos who will vote for Scott." Another says:?"In this district we confidently expect a decided decrease or the Loco majority.? Whig documents, especially Lives of Scott, are lamely read, and we hear of many who have- acted., with'the other party, who will vote for Scott." Another says:?"Old Fuss anil Feathers' is not only tiril in war, first in peace, but he is first in the hearts of the people of this region." X:' Mu. Clkjikns, the Democratic nominee for Congress, has returned from his electioneering tour to the mountain counties. Mr. Gai.i.v, the Whig Elcctor for this District, lias also been up that way, doing signal service for the Whig cause. SicxEDANDSEALEb.?The President, as we learn frort a telegraphic dispatch received at a late hour, last night, has signal the Bridge Bill. So the ques tion is settled not only for the present, but for all time to come. IIkmi-jmei.d Railroad.?The Monongahfela City .Republican of the 27th lilt, says: We have the pleasuteofimforming our readers, that Chas. Ellet, Jr., started an engineering corps at Greensburg, the eastern end of the Ilempfield Railroad, on Monday lost, with instructions to make a final location ef the road from that place to Washington. As soon as the road is prepared for letting, proposals for contracts will be received for the whole line. ANIMALS ON RAILROAD TRACKS. A suit was recently brought before the Circuit Court of Montreal, against the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railway Company, to recover the value of a Cow killed on the track. The Court decided that the Company was not compelled to fence in its road to keep off animals. All they are .requi red to do, is to give warning, by the blowing of the whistle or ringing the bell,! when the cars ap proach a public road. The Court said that it would be most unreasonable to expect that the speed of thcrailway cars would be checked when-, ever an animal appeared on the track, and that the ptiblic, y well as the law, required that per sons residing near a railway should kefcp their cattle ffoiu goiug on the tfack at all, instead of leaving them at large, expecting to recover dam wee-: tram t!.r- Company in case of damage. v M AIVD fikm; In tlie following warm strain Gkkkmsy portrays the tricks that the enemy will try, and expects the Whigs.to withstand their assaults : There are two or three hundred thousand voter? in the Union whom nothing short of a Presidential 'contest can bring to the polls?we regret the fact, and they ought to be ashamed of it?but if is a fact, nevertheless. Of these voters, nine-tenths are Whigs. The only way to beat General Scott is to persuade them that their votes can avail nothing I this fall, and to persuade our live Whigs that it is > fruitless to make the necessary effort to bring them : ? out. If this impression can be diffused, and whig .apathy shall open the. way. to the polling of illegal votes in the strong Pierce districts, they may beat us. And this is what they arc now working for, j Whigs ! Stmul Firm .' They who shout over the loss of half their usual majority, half their Con gressional delegation, and more than half their Legislative majority, in Iowa, and who are de lighted with the choice of only two Whigs to Con gress from Missouri, where we carried none in the Taylor year, will, of course linda pretext for shout ing in nearly every election berween this and No vember. They will add together the Rum votes for Chandler, and the Whig Temperance votes for Hubbard in Maine, and show a vast majority against us in that State; and so, doubtless, with regard to the State elections in Maryland, Indiana; vte., where they have extraordinary elements of strength in the State contests. In each of these States are thousands who will vote for Scott, who cannot be counted on to vote the Whig local ticket in October. Our adversaries of course will shout ?let them shout! They will profess and cherish a strong desire to bet?let them seek gamblers among those to whom gambling is congenial. They will hold great meetings and lire cannon?let them incur the expense; the noise will wake up our vo ters as well as fheirs. Let us go straight along, putting facts and documents into everyone's hands, quietly organizing and preparing to bring out the legal voters and keep out the illegal votes, and we shall silence their bragging effectually on the 2d of November. Tlieri ice can sliout and exult, and fire cannon, if we have a taste for such amusements, but let us postpone our playing till our work is done. We may then cheer with a good conscience, and without a fear of waking up the wrong passenger. Put out the documents and push on the organiza tion now. Leave huzzaing till the proper time.? The Ghiuese warfare of our antagonists will alarm none but very timid children, and lieed not terrify even I hem. Old Chippewa has faced a heavier fire on many a lield, and never thought of quail ing; let his friends profit by his example.' THE GERMAN VOTE OF OHIO. The following, which we clip from the Cincin nati Atlas, shows how the vote of the great mass of the honest Germans of Oliio is going: Mr. Editor : We, as German voters of the second Congressiona 1 District of Hamilton county wish, through the medium of your valuable political pa per, to make our views known to the delegates of ihe Whig County Convention, to meet atMt. Plens | ant 011 the 10th inst., for the purpose of nominating j a Whig county ticket. We have, for many years past, voted and acted with tlu: Democratic parly, supposing the principles of that party true to the great interests ot our adop ted home, and the free institutions of our glorious and independent country. But, satisfied from the movements of the late Democratic convention, the interests of our country and her institutions are no part of the creed of the leaders of that paper: on the contrary, self emulation is the sole object of these demagogues: We know them well now : We know their love for the Dutch: They would ride into of fice through their votes, and then kick us for our stupidity. We now frankly confess we have been dnped for years, and sincerely hope our brethren will not remain in the dark as long as we have. We shall, each of us, use every effort to give them light, that they may see sooner than we have the error they have fallen into. We suggest to the delegates of the convention, not, however, in a spirit of dictation, the policy of nominating Judge Saflin as the candidate for con gressin the 2d district; for him and the entire whig ticket we pledge ourselves for oUO German voters, who have never voted the Whig Ticket.

Another letter says: 'The feeling to achieve a triumph and redeem the State is prevalent among all the Whigs of this section.'

A COr respondent of the Hartford Times thus describes the house where Frank Pierce was born: Two miles west from the "bridge" in "Lower Village,"so called here, on the old Boston road, is ; the house in which Franklin Pierce was born.? It is just such a building as a Democratic Presi dent of the United States ought to have been born in. It is an ancient looking two story double man sion, painted white, and surrounded by about twenty beautiful maples, each one of which was originally set out by Governor Piercc, the honored father of Franklin. It is the most stately and Democratic looking building in Hillsborough, and is now occupied by Gen. Pierce's eldest sister, Mrs. MeXiel, the widow of Gen. John .McNeil, of the 1*. S. army. Attached to the house is a line garden, orchards and out-door buildings. "Stately and Democratic!" That will do.? Now what hopes have you, who have been born and raised in log cabins, of ever getting to be Pres ident? A Democratic'President must be born in a "two-story double mansion," in a "most stately and Democratic looking building." These must be the antecedent:; and surroundings of the birth of! a Democratic President. No hope for you, log | cabin boys.?Stair Jnurnnl. Adjournment of Congress. It will be seen by our Telegraphic despatches, that both Houses of Congress adjourned yesterday. A considerable degree of charitable indulgence, will allow the members to retire to the quietude, and, to many, the oblivion of their homes, uncen siir.ed for the present, leaving the future to test the merits of their measures. They have done many bad things and some few good things; among the latter, the passage of the "Wheeling Bridge bill, which of itself is sufficient to "cover a multitude ! of sins." JgiieS^TiiK funeral of Mrs. Taylor, widow of the late President Taylor, took place at New Orleans, on the 17th inst, from the i residence of Col. Bliss. All the officers of the Army, who were in the city, were pres ent at the obsequies, anil al?o some of the cival officers of the State. Of the family of Gen. Taylor, there now survive Mr. Richard Taylor,the only son of the General Richard is a sugar planter in the parish of St.Charles, and Mrs. Bliss, the lady of Col. Bliss, who resides in New Orleans. The Fire Annihilator.?The experiment last evening by Dr. Colton, to test the efficiency of the Fire Annihilator, was perfectly successful. The I flames issued many feet out of and above the up per windows of the building, and were extin- j guished on the application of the gas almost in- ! stautly. After being extinguished thus, a fire was relighted in the northwest corner of the building, upon the fire engine having played, it was put out almost soon ns by the annihilator. The action of the annihilator was deemed perfectly successful and satisfactory, but for the complete ness of the trial by both means it would have been better if the building had been drier and more combustible. Several thousand persons were.collected to witness the experiment. \ [Intelligencer. The Whigs of the Third Congressional District of1 Pennsylvania have nominated John P.

The cause ol the diminution in this State is supposed to be caused by the hard winter, which destroyed sheep, and shortened lie wool on all. in many parts the sheep arc not sheltered at all in the winter season, and m those parts the loss last winter was great.

A Startling Scexe is Ciiurch.?The Boston Journal relates the fotlowing: Lass Sunday afternoon, in the "First Congre gational Church," in North Chelse, during the singing of the second hymn, a rabid dog of enor mous size rushed up a side aisle and commenced an attack on the pew of Mr. Jonathan Harring ton. Failing to effect an entrance, he sprang with a spasmodic leap to the pulpit,beating furi ously against the doors until he fell on the head stair exhausted and forthing with impotent rage. The audience were at once thrown into great con fusion, and a general, perhaps fatal, rush was made lor the door seemed to ensue. They were somewhat reassured, however, by a caution from the pastor, Rev. Norwood Damon, "to be compo sed and remain in their seats, as the surest [means of safety." At this crisis Mr. Ephraim Pierce, a youth of eighteen, and son of Capt. John Pierce, stepped from his seat, seized the animal by the back of the neck, and, notwithstanding saveral attempts to bite, succecded in dragging him from the house unharmed. The dog fled to the adjoining grave yard, where he was subsequently shot. Quiet was restored, the choir finished their hymn, and Mr. Damon pronounced a sermon on death.

He spoke of the necessity of self pos session to the exercise of sound discretion and tjie prompt selection of available means of safety or remedy. He concluded with a well merited com pliment to young Pierce "to whose heroism," lie said"too much praise could not be awarded!" and by a reference to "the great source of deliver-* ance and preservation in all times of danger." . \ '??

A communication was made to the Senate yes terday by the President of the United States on the subject of the Lobos Islands, embracing a corres pondence between the Secretary of State and the Minister of the Republic of Peru as to the sove reignty of those Islands, &c. Had it been possible for us to obtain copies of all the papers communi cated by the President, it would have been out ol our power at this moment to find room for them; but we are enabled, to give at once the full and masterly letter of Mr. Webster, which appears to cover the whole question and all the matters 111 controversy. Department ok State, Washington, August 21, 1S52. The undersigned, Secretary or the IT. States, has the honor to ^acknowledge the receipt of tl'e several"communications of Mr. Osina, Charge d'< Affaires of Peru, of the 25tfi J.UAe, 3d July, and the 9th iust. The first-mentioned of these communica tions, however," did not come to his knowledge un til the Oth of July, after he had left Washington for a short absence. He very much regrets that cir cumstances have prevented an earlier answer to these several communications; but, as they all re late to the .same subject, all will now receive a common reply. In the first place, the undersigned will remark to Mr. Osma that the Government of the U. States lias not now, nor ever has had, any intention to facilitate the particular purposes of any such as Mr. Osma calls-speculators, further than those purposes are conformable to pnblic law, us well as to tlie laws of the United States. This Government knows of 110 companies, no associations, and no Individuals in whose behalf it undertakes any spe cial protection. The question is a general one, in which all the citizens of the United States engaged in commerce have an interest, and that interest is equally respected by the United States, regardltss of individuals. lu the next place, the undersigned expresses the hope that it was not Mr. Osina's purpose, by any expression of his note of the Oth inst., to convey any intimation that the proceedings ot this Government in regard to the subject have been influenced in the slightest degree by any conviction of the relative strength or weaknessof the parties. Such an inti mation, if intended to be made, would require no refutation, since all the world knows the manner iu which the Republics of South America, formed out of the ancient possessions of Spain, have been treated by this Government from their earliest ori gin to the present day. The undersigned will make a further remark, to prevent mistake and misunderstanding upon .Mr. Osina's observation upon the conversation between t him and the undersigned, in the Department of State, on the 2d of July; and that is, that the sup posed discovery of Captain Worrell, mentioned in that conversation was not relied upon by the under j signed as founding an exclusive right to the Lobos Islands on the parL of the United States. It was only nit utioned as a fact tit to be considered in I common with other facts and occurrences. I be troth appears to be that Captain Morrell was oil a I voyage of discovery, and did iu fact discover, or was supposed to have discovered, guano on these islands. It is certain that no book generally known and circulated in this country mentioned the fact of the existence of guano on these islands until Captain Morrell's narrative was publislieOfin 1832. After these preliminary remarks,the undersigned now proceeds to the consideration of the main sub ject. In his several communications Mr. Osma asserts the right of Peru to all the Lobos islands, ou the ground that she has always exercised author ity over them; that they belong to Peru, as they for merly belonged to Spain; and that from time imme morial the Peruvian Indians have been in the habit of visiting them for the purpose of catching seals, killing birds, and gathering eggs, and that this ex clusive right to the islands of Peru has never been doubled ?>r disputed. The question is: Are these unqualified declara tions of Mr. Osma strictly accurate/ The Lobos or Seal Islands', as their names imports, lie in the open Pacific ocean, the nearest of them twenty or j tnirty miles from the coast of Peru. They are, as Mr. Osma admits, mere barren rocks in the sea, un inhabited and uninhabitable. Fisheries and the pursuit of amphibious animals, especially the seal, have long been carried on around ther shores, and ! even on those shores themselves since i t is well know that seals are usually taken aud killed upon the land. In these pursuits and iu this use of the islands, citizens of tbe United States were engaged for half a century before any actual interruption took place by the Peruvian Government or any body else; their visits to them having commenced at least as early a> 17'J3, All this is well know to the commercial world. Now, it is quite certain that, if Peru held and possessed full sovereignty over these islands, this fishing near the shore, aud this pursuit and killing of amphibious aninals upon the land, was as much an invasion ol that sove reignty as is the taking of guauo from them now. Nor was the ease so unimportant as that Peru might have regarded this use ol the islands by citizens of the United States as an indulgence merely, sup posing her to possess the exclusive right, since the pursuit and destruction uf seals, which have at hist terminated iu their almost entire disappear ance, must have been a matter of much importance to her Government. Nevertheless, no complaint was made of this course of things, nor any inter ruption attempted or threatened until September 1833, in which month, as it would now appear, a decree was i>siied by the Peruvian Government, prohibiting foreigners from fishing for seals and amphibious animals on the shores of the islands of Peru, and declaring that the captains of foreign vessels who evaded the order should be considered as smugglers. It is important to observe that this decree was issued after the publication of Captain Morrel's narrative. This decree was sudden and expected, and there fore the Charge d'Affairs of the United States at Lima was under the necessity of acting upon it without orders from his own Government. He im mediately addressed a note on the subject to the Minister of Foreign Relations of Peru, in which, without forinclly denying the original right of Peru, he ret j nested a reconsideration of the decree or that it might be so far modified as to permit tn tlie citizens of the United States the pursuit of an oc cupation which they had been allowed quietly to follow for a number of years, and adding that the decree could not but be regarded as unfriendly to the Government of the United States. So far as is known to the undersigned, no answer or reply was evev made to this remonstrance, and it is certain that the citizens of the United States continued to pursue their usual avocations without interruption, notli withstanding this decree. If such an interrup tion had been made by the Peruvian authorities, it would at once have brought the question of the sovereignty of Ptru over the Lobos islands to the attention of the Government, as happened a few years before in the case of the right of the Govern ment of tlie Argentine Confederation to claim sove reignty over the Fakland islands. It is true that the decree of 1833 makes no particular mention of the Lobos islands, but it is directed generally a gainst fishing on the coasts and islands of Peru. Nevertheless, this cannot be regarded as affecting the general right of citizens of the United States, founded on lone and undisputed usage. Here then is a formal remonstrance on the part of the United States against the asserted sove reignty of Peru over the Lobos islands, to which no answer, so far as it appears, was given, nor any intimation made that, notwithstanding this re monstrance, iho decree would be enforced. It is quite evident that, although the decree is general in its terms, it was intended to be levelled espe cially against citizens of the United States, as the subjects of other countries did not partake, to any considerable extent, in the fisheries which were prohibited. Can Mr. Osma's averment, therefore, be maintened, in which lie asserts the universal and absolute sovereignty of.Peru never to have been denied or questioned by any Government? And if Peru has suffered these barren rocks to be visited and used by citizeus of the United S fates, for a long course of time and for all the purposes for which they were known to be valuable, is the case alteied when they are found capable of a new use? Is not the natural inference, either that Peru never claimed any exclusive right over the islands, or that, if such claim had been made by any formal or official act of the Government, such claim had been abandoned at least, so far as citi zens of the United States were concerned. Mr. Osma refers to a decision ot the English Government and observes that, as both the mer cantile and agricultural classes in the British empire have a strong interest adverse to the claim of Peru, if the British Gouvernment has decided in favor of that claim, that decision must be ascribed to considerations sufficient to outweigh a regard for the interests of British farmers and shipowners. But the two cases may justly be considered as es sentially different. When the decree of 1833 ap peared, Mr. Wilson, the British Consul General at Lima, in a communication to his Government said: "For many years, 110 British vessel has been en gaged in this fishery; but great abuses have been committed by Americans vessels. Aud the year afterwards, writing upon the subject of the seizure of the British schooner Campcadora for kiling seals at the Lobos islands, lie admitted the right of Peru to those islands. At the same time, he adds: "Lord James Townhend, the commander of her Majesty's naval forces 111 the Pacific, takes a diffe rent view of the question; and he himsell told me that his Majesty's subjecis had a positive right of fishery on all these islantte, unless they should be actually occupicd by some Peruvian authority or protected by the constant presence of some Peru vian man-of-war to warn off vessels." ? It will be borne in mind that when the case of the Campeadora occurred,the use and perhaps even the value of nuano as a manure was unknown in quiescence in the opinion expressed by Mr. W?> hsssss&as-^Bs.

A nd the undersigned1 repeats that this is not a United States, who have so long.exercised that riirht. and remonstrated against its interrupted. The Government of the United States, however, is prepared to give due consideration to all facts tending to show possession or occupancy - of the Lobos Islands by Peru, and is not inclined to stop or preclude discussion until the whole matter shall be thoroughly investigated. If there are any facts or arguments which have 'not been brought to its consideration, they shall receive the most respect ful and friendly attention. If it shall turn out that, as has beeii intimated above, those Islands are uninhabited and uninhabitable, arid therefore incapable of being legally possessed or held by any one nation, they and their contents must be considered as the common property of all. Or if, unprotected by the presence of Peruvian.author ities and without actual possession, thrir use has been by Peru abandoned or conceded, without limitation of time, to citizens of the United States for a long period, or yielded in consequence of the remonstrance of this Government or its agents, then no exclusive ownership can be pretended as against the United States at least. Under all the circumstances, the President thinks it most advisable that full instructions on this subject should be dispatched to tl.e Charge d' Aftaiies of the United States at Lima, and that proper orders should be given to the naval forces of the United States in that, quarter to prevent collision until further examination of the case No countenance will be given to the authors of such enterprises, claiming to be citizens s of the United States, who may undertake to defend themselves or their vessels by force, in the prose cution of any commercial enterprises to these Islands. Such acts would be acts of private war, and their authors would thereby justly forfeit the protection of their own Government. The undersigned avails himself of this occasion to offer to Mr. Osma a renewed assurance of )iis very high consideration. DANIEL WEBSTER! Worth CoiiNidcriiig. The New York Tribune''submits the follow ing to the consideration of the American people. May they ponder well upon it: 1. it is a fact -that- our country is at peace, unr scourged by pestilence, in the enjoyment ot gen? erons'harvests,'and every natural element of pros perity. 2. It is a fact that we have mines of iron, cop per, lead, zinc, and other useful metals, as also coal, equal in extent, variety, and richness to any in the world. li. It is a fact that we do produce food of almost every kind, with cotton and wool, and might pro duce Ilax, hemp and silk, to an unlimited extent, and with as little labor, as any other nation. ?1. It is a fact that we have thousands <>f men, women, and children, able and willing to labor, looking anxiously for employment, and yet wan dering fioiu day to day in idleness and destitution; and 5. It is a fact that we are, and for "years have been, running more and more deeply in debt to Eu rope for iron, copper, lead, zinc, silk, wool. Ilax, hemp, and the rails, cloths, implements, aud va rious articles of use or luxury therefrom fabricated. Fellow-countrymen ! can you say this is right.' Ought we to be running in debt by millions per annum for the products o! European !??bor, while the American labor that would gladly be employed in fabricating those same products stands idle ?:?| our market places, and vainly pleads for opportu nity to earn the bread of honest toil? Can it be good policy which thus plunges.us deeper and deeper in debt for products which our own people would gladly make if they had but the chance/? What do you say of the owner and cultivator of fifty acres who hires strangers to feed hi? stock while his boys frolic at the tavern? Whither in private life tends the policy that this country is now so recklessly pursuing? lrellow Countrymen ! we advocate sijch a change in our national policy as will set our own people, now unwillingly idle, to producing the iron, cloth, silk, &c., for which we are now running i|1 debt to Europe, and covering our whole land with for eign mortgages in the shape of railroad bonds, State oi Company stocks, &c., &-C. Will you not, regardless of party names, help us to procure this change? ? : 3-tmbiilmiiij; UocIicM. The New Yourk Courier gives the following description of a process discovered by a French physician for preserving the bodies of the dead.? It appears to resemble the process .of Gaunel, which is now in extensive application in Paris: "Two weeks ago to-day a young Englishman died of hemorrhage in our city hospital, and was immediately afterwards subjected to a post-mortem examination. It was afterwards thought to be de sirable to preserve the body so tint it might be re cognized and reclaimed by his English friends.? Dr. Pilate was sent for, aud although it was the third day after death, and decomposition had al ready commtfnced, and notwithstanding the severe injuries inflicted upon the organization of the body by tha post-mortem, he undertook the case without hesitation. '?We were invited to bepicsent, and our deep interest in a discovery of :> much importance obliged us to comply. On citering the room, the offensive odor of the corpse, the green hue of its countenance, and the dark dor of other portions of the body which denoted a yet more advanced stage of decomposition, and especially the view of the extent to which the examining physicians had carried their cutting operatiqis?all this, combined with the extreme heat of the weather, completely staggered our faith in thepOf<ibility of the success of the proposod attempt, without hesitation, the doctor, with an assistant, st$t about his task. He first took up the carotid artery and injected it with his anti-septic fluid, until 1: discoveied that its continuity had been broken | y the post-mortem.? He then applied ligatures soJss to retain the liquid, and afterwards proceeded into similar way with the femoral artery. He thus we it from artery to ar tery, injecting and injecting aid applying ligatures until no less than fifteen hadbcen thus treated.? Had the body been in its natiLd state, the injection of the carotid artery alone yithout any ligature, would have been sufficient, ind the whole opera tion would have been conpleted in an hour, whereas, in this ease, it reqifi .d nine hours of se vere labor. The doctor ha< not been engaged more than two hours, befor* the odor we have spoken of entirely disappears from the room; but we did not wait for the coiniletion of his opera tions. "On invitation, we yesterfl;y called to examine the condition of the body, sitnnge as it may seem, Dr. Pilate, we found had succeeded perfectly in what had seemed to us an au.ost chimerical un dertaking. The body had rejoined its natural hue, was entirely inodorous, and ii appearance was as if the breath had departed frp:i it an hour, instead of a fortnight before. The ai.iseptic process had given the flesh a somewhat hkiier consistency, but had left no apparent trace win:ever. Nature had been literally preserved?not,a has been done by other means of embalment in {a lisfigurcd or discol ored state, but, so far as the ey? could judge, it had been preserved inviolate and inact."

But my good sir! don't you unde'raand that you could turn oll'more produce from fifty acres, thoroughly cultivated, tha'r. yon do from your whole two hundred?'?'Well, perhaps 1 might.'?Then why not ell enough of your arable land to pay for lutting the resi due in the highest condition Can't you rea lize that it is sheer, ruinous waste to fence, plow, plan'., till and harvus five acres for a hundred bushels of Indian orn, when that quantity might surely bo* grown on two acres?
