LARD OIL.
We are glad to fir.d that the manufacture
of this article is beginning to attract public
attention.
We have in our city three manufactories
for making this oil, and on enquiry we
learn that they are unable to supply the de
mand for it. R. W. Lee & Co shipped
fifty barrels of it (upwards of 2000 gallons)
to New York, and another firm informs
us that they cannot fill their Eastern orders.
■ This new manufacture is destined, we
think, to exercise a beneficial influence
on the West, It has already enhanced
the price of lard and must hereafter increase
the value of swine. A reference to a few
facts will best illustrate this, and show the
great importance of this manufacture to,
our city.
R. W. Lee, & Co., use up 16 barrels of
lard, every twenty-four hoprs, at their Laid
Oil establishment. R requires portions of
two bogs to make a keg of lardj and por
tions of five hogs to make a barrel. We
killed last year about 108,000 of these ani
mals in the city, and the calculation is, that
about the same number were killed out of
it; so that we may put down the number of
them brought to our market at 216,000.—
From these data it will be seen that one
manufactory uses up the lard of 160 hogs
every 24 hours, or 1120 a week, or 4800
a month, or 58.400 a year! So that a few
manufactories would consume all the lard
the farmers in our neighborhood could
raise.
Sperm oil has heretofore commanded a
good price and found a ready sale. In
1840, according to the returns, the quantity
of whale oil exported was about 5,000,000
gallons, while the consumption at home
amounted to 6,250,000 gallons. But from
a statement in the Journal of Commerce*
we find that this has almost ceased, owing
to the fact 'that hogs have run the whales
fairly out of market' Nor is there any
reason to doubt, from thequantky of swine
which the west has, or is able to raise, that
Lard oil can be made to take the place of
sperm and whale oil both at home and
abroad. If so, what a new and wide field
of wealth is opened to our agriculturalist!
We shall refer to this subject again the
first leisure we have .—Cincinnati Gaz.

Double Distilled Rascality .—Oneofthe
boldest, most artfully contrived*, and for the
time successful, combinations to rob thro'
the agency of the law, has recently been de
tected in Philadelphia. A man named Von
Vliet was convicted there, at «te last term of
the General Sessions, for stealing 47Q sove
reigns from a Mrs. Hoffmeister, who swore
that he came to her house to buy an old
watch—-was left alone for a few' minutes
in a room w'here the sovereigns were in a
bureau, and that immediately after his de
parture she discovered that they were gone
also. Her evidence was confirmed fcy that
of one Moore, who said that he was clerk
to Von Vliet at the time, and swore that
the day mentioned by Mrs. H„ Von
Vliet showed him a hag containing 470

But it now turns out that the story ol the
robbery wls trumped up by Moore and
the woman, to obtain the sovereigns, which
actually belonged to Von Vliet, he having
brought them from England. The discov
ery was made by the confession of a wo
calling herself the wife of Moore, who

wheel, not far from the road side,
where in the valley of the Housatonic, the
history of which was peculiar. It belonged,
many years ago, to a gristmill, being what
is called an 'over-shot mill.' The mill by
some sad accident was burnt—all but the

the latter was rolling on as though nothing
had happened. And so it was left by the
people, to roll on in its glory or tire itself
out. Time rolled on and so did the water
wheel. Night followed day and day
ceeded night, and the water wheel continu
ed its unwearied round, in solitude or
light, in gaiety or gloom. Year after year
rolled away and onward rolled the water
wheel, rumbling in rude harmony with
the hooting of the owls by night, orming
ling the music of its falling waters with the
melodies of the sweetest songsters of nature
by day There and thus, like a troubled
spirit, rolled the water wheel of the woods
—onward, onward—and for all we know
it is revolving there still.'

a tavern between St. John and St. Andrews
(N. B.) is painted the following;
•Refreshments and Good Red Cow's Milk,

A person who called at the inn oh his
way to the city last week, asked for a glass
of the Red Cow's Milk, and the female in
attendance gave him— brandy!
From Campeaehy .—By the schooner
Freeland, which arrived yesterday from
Campeaehy, we have intelligence to the

were collecting provisions and making all
suitable preparations to resist the expected
attack of the Mexican squadron.
Don Juan Pablo Ceyliran, the Commo
dore of the squadron is undergoing his trial
for treason.
The Freeland passed the schooner Anna
Maria, from this port, about twelve miles
from Campeaehy.
The brig Henry had arrived, alter losing
one man overboard and sustaining much
injury in the gale.
There was no news at Campeaehy from
Sisal.
The brig Apilachicola had not arrived,
She sailed hence on the day that the Henry

Since the foregoing was written, the brig
Henry has arrived at this port, six days
from Campeaehy. She brings no intelli
gence of interest. The Mexican fleet had
not yet been seen.— N. O. Tropic.

They lie in valleys burifed deep,
They stud the l»awen.hills ;
They're mirror'd where proud rivers sweep, ,
And by the humbler rilL; ,
A blessing on each holy fane, ■
Wherever they may stand,
With open door, for rich and poor.
The Churches of our Labd! V
Ye boast of England's palaces.
Her cities, and her towers;
Öf mansions where hersons at ease
Dwell midst her greenwood bowers ;
But a deeper sense of reverence
God's temples should command,
While knee shall bend, and prayer ascend,
In the Churches ol our Land.
Olf! how pleasant arc the pealing bells,
Heard at the Sabbath time,
Calling to prayer from hills and dells,
With their melodious chime ;
And glorious is the sacred song,
Swell'd by a fervent band,
When the organ's note doth proudly float
Through the Churches of our Land.

Talk not ot England's'wooden walls"
Her better strength is here ;
Her trust around the spirit falls,
Subduing doubt and fear ;
Here her btave sons have gather'd power,
Nerving each heart and hand—
Most fearless prove those who beat love
- The Churches of our Land. ;* . , .
They stand, the guardians of the faith
For which our father's died ;
God keep those temples still from scathe,
Our blessing and our pride!
Our energies, our deeds, our prayers,
All these should they command,
That never foe may lay them lpw ;
The Churches of our Land.
An Affghan Orchard .—The following
description is calculated to show how rich
a portion of the Affghan country is. Fine
standards of the size of foresttrees, apples,
pear, and apricot, were surmounted and
overhung with gigantic vines festooned
from tree to tree, in a wild luxuriance of
growth, such as I had never dreamed of
seeing in fruit trees or vine. It was the
inth of the spring, and they were
covered with blossoms which perfumed the
air, and presented a feature of horticultural
beauty surpassing description.'
A young lawyer attacked a mechanic, in
Wilmington Del. one day last week, and
got a most confounded pummelling for his
pains. The young sprig got a pair of blue
spectacles, by the aid of which we hope
he will be enabled to see through his ndxl
case more clearly.
