Merits Mullicaiilh. "Morris's Silk Farmer,-' of the 2Sth Sept. contains the following caution to persons growing the Mulberry at the South: "Growers at the South should steadily keep in view one most important fact their trees arc far superior in quality to ours, and hence should command a propor tionately better price. The prices obtain ed with us fur the small sized and poorly branched trees of the North, ought not to regulate the prices of the large Southern trees. Being better in quality they ought to yield a belter price, and cannot fail to do so, unless prematurely forced into Mar ket." The Editor of the Journal of the Amer can Silk Society, states, in his Septem ber number, that the growers of the Mul ticaulis, need be under no apprehension of their being injured by the inclemency of winter. Thatthey ought not to be taken up, but left standing. Neither the tree, limbs or buds, will be injured by the win ter That it is best not to lake off the cut tings intended for planting in the Spring, lill the ground is got ready for them in March or April. Where unripencd wood remains on a tree after the fall of the leaf, it ought to be cut off before Ihe severe cold approaches, and buried in the ground in a dry situation, if no-sible on the north side of a house or fence (but not under trees) where the Sun never shines in winter. Lay the cuttings side by side, but not touching each other; cover the first layer with loose fine earth (Edgecombe County, jr. C.J one inch. Then lay on other cuttings in 'be same way till you have disposed of all you have. Then throw on earth, covering the whole about a foot deep, and forming ' op oi ine pile like the root of a house, to throw off the water. The earth used wi be taken from the ditch which you "in make around the pile. Care must be taken that no interstices be left among the cuttings as the confined air in them would produce mildew and the loss of the cut tings. This unripened wood, taken from this pile in the Spring and planted, will grow and make as fine trees as the best matured wood. Uul. Rei?. IVtat Point, (Ga.) Sept. IS. Melancholy Occurrence. An occur rence, which resulted in the death of four men, citizens of the adjoining countv of 'namoers, in the state of Alabama, was de m i . tailed to us yesterday; and from the res pectability of the source we have no doubt of its truth. We have not been able to obtain the names of the sufferers. It appears that a well, in the neighbor hood of Standing Rock, in the county a.Jove mentioned, having failed to yield us usual supply ot water, the owner deter mined to have it cleaned out. A person as letdown by the well bucket and rope, jut snowed no signs of action when at the bottom he was called to, but. did not an swer. A second proposed to go down nod ascertain what was the matter, and he also, as SOOn as be nrrivnrl nt the linttnm )ecamc supine and silent. A third pro posed to go down, with the understanding that he was to be drawn up as soon as he ailed out, the persons picsent then sus pecting, that there was some mcphytic gas r the bottom ol tbe well. He went down. but it. was only to join his unfortunate com panions. lien he got nearly to the loot of the well he called to be dra wn up; but when about half way up, he fell from the bucket! A fomth then proposed that he should be lashed fast, and he would des cend, with the understanding also that he should be hauled up as soon as he called out. He had descended but little more than half way when he gave the word; they drew him up quickly, but had bare ly time to unlash him before life was extinct. The other three were then taken out of the well with grapple, but none of them showed the least signs of life the vital spark was forever extinguished! The melancholy catastrophe happened on Thursday and the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers were all consigned to the grave on Friday last. Thus have four human lives been des troyed, and their spirits hastened to eter nity, for the want of a small share of cau tiot;. A well should never be descended, when there is the least haze or apppcar ance of vapor within it, without first trying it by introducing therein a lighted candle or torch, if the light will continue to burn there is no danger, but if it is extinguished in its descent, or as soon as it arrives at the bottom, the Utmost caution should be observed in descending. From Smyrna. We have a . letter from Smyrna, dated July 2Cth, of which the following is an extract: "The fact that the Turkish power is forever gone, gives us no anxiety. The so-called subjects of the Porte know per fectly that they are not in reality such; but they are far more awed by their rela tion to that one of the European powers under whose dominion they may happen to fall, and by their general relation to all the European powers who for several years past have in effect governed this empire, than they ever were by any mere Turkish authority. "It appears that the victory recently gained by the Egyptians over the Tur kish armyT, was on the very point of decla ring in favor of the Turks, and that the scale was turned merely by an expert man oeuvre by one of Mehcmet Ali's French officers. It is supposed that out of 40,000 or ,50,000 men engaged in that fight, about 10,000 were either killed or wound ed. "The Young Sultan, who, as you need not be told, governs the empire much in the same way as the piece of brass does with which some other potentates seal their edicts, is said to be near seVenteen years of age, and while his grey headed Prime Minister is hard struggling for some measures by which to keep the cra zy kingdom together a few years longer, is marrying wives at the rate of seven a week!!" Ar. K Jour. Com. (3" A proposition for a Twenty Gallon Law is in agitation in South Carolina. It is espoused by many of the prominent men ofthc State, and appears to produce a good deal of excitement. One of the Mr. Rhetts, who is a mem ber of the Legislature, in a letter in the Charleston papers, proposes to the friends of Temperance a somewhat different scheme for carrying out their views. Instead of the Gallon Law, he suggests, a tax, which will amount to a total prohibition of the Saturday, October 13, 1830 sale of ardent spirits; and after the Le g slature shall huve imposed the tax, it sliall bc submitted to the people of each district, and shall be binding on those dis tricts only where a majority mayr vote for l- Wilmington Chron. ((Ir70A case of the most heartless and dis graceful levity on the part of a gentleman, of this city, is mentioned by the New Or leans papers. Wc trust the statements arc exaggerated, for wc will not believe it pos sible for the individual implicated, to have acted in this manner. The story is, that a large number of coffins, packed in cases and marked ''pianos" were consigned to a house in New Orleans, accompanied by the following let;cr : "Gentlemen: On board the you will find nine cases of piano, fortes, con signed to your order. As the taste for mu sic appears to be making rapid strides in the South, and as instruments such as I send you must inevitably increase in value, I would advise you that at present you merely take them into your ware rooms, permitting them to remain in the cases sub ject to my future directions." The further orders came, and the '''pian os" were opened, the instructions being to sell them. The members of the New Or leans house were so indignant at the conduct of the consignor that ihey sold the. coffins to the Directors of the Charity Hospital at a dollar a piece a sum just sufficient to cover the charges advanced. N. Y. Gaz. Famines in India. A pamphlet has lately be:m issued in Eon Ion by a provi sional Committee for forming a British India Society, for the laudable purpose of b fering the condition of the inhabitants oftoe British Dominions in India and thus preventing the periodical famines, which desolate the fairest provinces of British India, carrying off thousands up on thousands of the population, though surrounded with all the means of exis tence. The following is an extract from this pamphlet: The fact of frequent and inconceivably destructive famines throughout the British territoiies of India, is one that has been little known, and still less inquired into by the people of this country. Few, comparatively, (for example.) are aware of the extent of the mortality amongst our India fellow subjects in the upper provinces of Bengal during the past year. In a few short months, more than a half a million perished by' famine, and the diseases produced by that ca lamity. At this moment other parts of India arc subjected to a similar visitation Vet, down to the pres. nt time there has been no public investigation, into the causes of these frightful events. Their occurrence is here scarcely knowm. They have thitherto awakened in this country, no efforts, wo sympathy led to no relief. How fir they are avoidable how far they Cat i be averted or their consequences mitigated when they arrive are questions yet to be asked. And shall not these questions he asked, and a true and explicit I t 1 111 O" , i-A 1. ! answer oc ocmanoeui runce i t u, ( wnen a famine in Bengal swept oil, it has been computed, three millions) there has been a succession ot iamines, wmcn nave ues i roved Ihe lives of immense multitudes ol human beings; these human beings have died in a country once deemed the weal thiest in the world and upon one of the r 11- I I richest and most productive soils upon the face of the globe." Dr. J Vm. Evans. We la t civ went over to the Doctor's medical establishment in Chatham street. We found upwards of fortv persons employed in the various depaitments of his manufactory. He paid out last year something more than fifi y thousand dollars to newspaper publish ers for advertising, and for the year ensu ing, has made his calculations to payr double that amount, intending to advertise in every piper in the Union. Asa curiosity, the Dr. showed us his bills for job printing for one year, and we were truly astonished to find their amount exceeding seven thousand dollars! There is another thing about Dr. Evans worthy of remark no man who has a bill against him is obliged to go twice for his money. It is said that the Doctor in travelling from New-York to New-Orleans, had no occasion to put up at any hotel, as he was continually solicited to stop at the dwel lings of persons whom his medicines had restored from sickness to health. Ar. F. Mas. LTlie Yankees beaten. The Yankee nation has always had precedency in the manufacture of flannel sausages, wooden hams, sticks of pomatum, and many other equally ingenious impositions, not for getting the celebrated wooden nutmegs. They must, however, yield their acknowl edged pre-eminence in the manufacture of the latter article to a substitute for that spicv production which has lately appeared, and far excels them. ' The mis tress of a cake bakery at JNo. 53 JJrown Jof. AT Xo.it. street, had lately sent her from a groce ry in the neighborhood of Christian and Front streets, a quantity of nutmeg", at a price somewhat cheaper than usual, and was induced to try their quality. The consequence was that her whole batch of cakes was spoiled. On inspection, it was ascertained that the cheap nutmegs were nothing else than a composition of vanilla, ginger, and a sprinkling of sassafras bark, to give it the fragrance and the veiny appearance of the genuine article. The imitation is a very ingenious one, and shows the astonishing perfection and matchless boldness which art has attain ed, in attempting to rival nature in her own work. The grocer was imposed up on, in all probability, also, from not hav ing inspected the ai tide cicely. AT. K Paper. Singular incident. We are inform ed by a letter just received by Mr. An by, which was shown to us, that on the 24th of July last, tte following singular incident occurred in Crawford county, in this State. A thunder storm came up a bout 9 o'clock A.M., st which time one Alonzo Robinson, stepping out of his fa ther's house for a pail of water, was struck by a flash cflighlning on the top of his head, which tore Ids hat in pieces, burnt off the hair on the right side of his head, and rent his shirt end pantaloons in pieces. His father was looking out at the window, saw him fall, and ran out of his bed room and found four members of his family lying on the floor gave them a place near the door went to his son who was a few paces from the door, found him all on fire and lifeless. lie imme diately stripped him and applied milk and water. Continuing this treatment, in a short time the body became blistered from head to foot, and in 15 or 20 minutes afterwards, began to show signs of re turning life. A physician was called in a few minutes, under whose care he con tinued to recover. The others were not seriously in jured, although one young woman was so badly burnt as not to be able to help her self the next day. Scioto (O.) Watchman. (JpA Machine called an Eccalobion, has been contrived in London, and is now exhibiting there, for hatching eggs by means of artificial heat. It is an improvement on the ancient Egyptian method of artifi cial incubation in heated ovens. The Eon don machine turnsout one hundred chickens daily. The heat required to hatch birds' eggs, is 9S degrees of Farenheit being the same for the eggs of all kinds of birds. Shingle Afacliinc. A newly inven ted machine for making Shingles, is no ticed by the Harri.sburg Chronicle, as hav ing recently been brought to that place. The greatest simplicity of the machine coupled with its effectiveness, is its chief curiosity, as well as recommendation. It consists of a larg, solid wheel, six feet in diameter, set in a frame like an I ordinary grind stone; and the blocks of wood ot the proper length being then placed in the frame which the wheel revolves, and to which last, numerous knives are attached, the machine then goes to work, and "grinds" out shingles at the rale of fifteen or twenty thousand in a day. Jl black Bnreaiis. The Fall Ttiver Pat riot of the twelfth instant, has the following account of a singular phenomenon: "Night before last the heavens present ed a very unusual appearance. It was a clear star light. When a black column began to ascend in the south-west, and north east, directly opposite to each other. The one in the south-west was at first sup posed to be a column of smoke, but it soon began to branch off, and the streamers shot off and varied their positions in the usual way, only they were black and so dense as to obscure the stars over which they passed. They stretched away from the opposite columns, so that about ten o'clock in the evening they met in the cast. Wo never before have seen or heard of a black Aurora liorealis." Cure fur Burns. come weeks since we published a recipe for the cure of burns Sic.y which was a mixture of three parts hogs lard, with one of common soot, to be applied plentifully to the wound. We are happy to learn from one of our fellow citizens, that he has fully tested its effjea ey; having received a vriy severe burn in the li-nd from taking hold of a heavy niece of hot iron: he applied the mixture, and in twenty four hours the hand was well and sound, with the exception oi tne scorched and hardened flesh, and free from all pain or inflammation. rortsmouin. uia uom.
