DESTRUCTION BY AN EARTHQUAKE. j The English papers received by the Eton an- Dounee the entire destruction of the ancient city of Lrzroom, in Turkey, bv repeated shocks of earth- .makes within the nast three months. The first ' earthquake occurred June 1st, and a letter from I. . . -.1. oitc.oi the Atnet'ican missionaries gives a vivid de scription of the first great shock. He says: "J he first shock, which was not very severe, was l'elt about S o'clock, A.M., June 1, and at 10 o'clock, A. 31. the following day came the fearful earthquake, which laid in ruius 2,000 houses, nearly destroying 1,000 more, and injur ing 1,200 others; leaving (according to the ac counts of Turkish officials) over 1 ,o00 houses un harmed; but I do not believe that there are 100 houses in Erzroom as sound as they were before the earthquake. The shock was not only felt in the city, but the villages on the plain, and even to llassati-Kfllah, twenty miles to the cast. According to the official returns 880 dead bodies have been taken out from the ruins, about 200 wounded, and 60 missing. The heavy shock which did the mischief is said to have continued eight seconds, and it was followed by three others less severe. Shocks, more or less severe were felt during eight consecutive days, since w hich there has been perfect quiet, and the work of building and repairing is now going on as rapid ly as possible. It is a singular fact that the destruction was al most entirely confined to the Moslem quarter of j the city, and only twelve Christians lost their lives. ! None of the Protestant friends were injured, j though several barely ecapcQ with life. One i woman, sister of our native preacher, 1. llohan- i nes, feeling the waving to and fro of the house, ! seized her two little children and escaped in time j to sec roof and wall come down with a crash where ! she had been sitting. Tart of another house, ad- ; joining ours, was crushed, but no one was harmed. The two mission houses were injured, but not very seriously, i j The N, C.

We learn that the disease, known in the West and South-west us the ' black tongue," is prevailing to a fearful extent among animals in the lower part of Missouri, the deer and cattle being the chief victims of its ravages. Mr David Khodes informs the editor of the lrontou Furnace that he found fourteen dead deers at one pond in Zollinger County, Missouri, and numbers of others found scattered thromrh the woods, some dead eficcts of the malady. ;md others dying from the In Wayne County no less than lift v were found dead, near Greenwood Valley, in that county, aud in the neighboring woods, the air was loaded with the stench from their carcases. At the Falling Spring in Carter County, Missouri, thirty died in one night; and at Kiev en Point, in Oregon County, a large number was found. rihe cattle have been attacked by the affection also; but its effects on them has not been as terrible as on the deer; which are threatened with utter extermination. The disease is the same, we presume, as that which caused such havee among the deer of Florida a year ago. . m Editorial Convention.

In or der to cure a fancy crop, it is necessary to select your tobacco as you cut it, in order to et a house full as uniform as possible of plants that ripen a yellow color. I put my tobacco in the house as soon as possible after cutting it, putting six to eight plants on a stick four and a half feet long, placing the sticks at a distance on the tier polls, so that the tobacco will not touch after it is hung in the house. Commence tiring immediately with coal, at. 100 degrees Fahrenheit twenty-four hours the next twelve hours 105, the next six hours 1 10, the next six hours 115 then increase 2 1 , every hour until you attain 1(55, and remain at that degree until your tobacco is thoroughly cured. The stalk should be dry when you quit firing. As soon as your tobacco is soft enough to move after it is cured, shove the st cks as close together as you can, that it may more effectually retain its color. My barns are all 20 feet square, five tier in the body, and as tight as 1 c;in make them. I have nine fires to each house, made of c ml either pine or oak, or any other wood is equally as good. It is necessary to keep the fires night and day CASWELL. Yanccyville, N. C, July 11, 1859. The President i. V. D. 1900. The bov is now living who will be President of the United States iu 1900. lie is about ten or twelve years of age. His parents are iu humble circumstances, but of sterling traits of character, and their son is not one of those dirty, noisy boys that spend their days, evenings and Sabbaths, in idleness and J rowdyism. On the contrary he is of a serious cast, i is very studious, and withal is well behaved. Teacher, weigh well your responsibility. The future President may be in that grammar class i that you think scarcely worthy of a respectful attention. What boy of all our readers will lay claim to this distinction? llccollect, the future President .it i ,i i i i i .a is not loiinu among; the r,aboatn breakers, the J every day idlers, the evening rowdies, the bias pheinous, the vulvar, or among those that love and make a lie. He is not one of those who pride themselves as being Young America, and despise the authority of a father, or break away from the gentle restraint of a good mother. Digestibility OJ? Flesh The flesh of young animals is tenderer than that of adults; and tender ness is one quality whih favors digestibility. Nevertheless, we shall err if fixing our attention on this one quality, we assume that the flesh of young animals is always more digestible than that of adults; we shall find veal to be less so than beef, and chickens less so than beef. The reason given for the first of these exceptions is, that veal has less of the peculiar aroma developed in cooking; the reason given for the second, that the texture of chicken is closer than that of beef, and being closer is less readily acted ou by the gastrc juice. Every one knows that veal is not very digestible, and is always shunned by the dyspeptic. On the other hisnd, in spite of chicken being less diges tible than beef, it is more suitable for a delicate 1 i mi x .

The age of annuals is very lmbortaut Thus the flesh very important Thus the flesh of the t! j Ty "S but ,hc kld, ch.cs ? adult period there ,s so pronounced an odor de- veloped from the hiric acid in its fat that the flesh becomes uneatable. V hereas the ox and cow, fattened for two 3-ears after reaching full growth, have acquired the perfection of their aroma and flavor. The difference between lamb and- mutton is very marked, especially in their fat, that of mut ton containing more fatty acid, and being to many stomachs quite iutolerablo. PATRICK HENRY. It has been common to suppose that Patrick Henry, the "natural orator," as he is popularly called, was very slightly, if at all, indebted for his wonderful eloquence to those sources of mental culture which are held in highest esteem as at once the models of taste and the instruments of learning. It seems, however, that this opinion ia unfounded, ami the American Demosthenes is no exception to the great law which affirms that " the gods give nothing to men without labor." From an interesting and instructive oration delivered by Mr Hugh Blair Grigsby, before the students of William and 3Iary College, on the 4th of J uly last, we cite the following statement in refcrenec to the literary style and early classical proficiency of Patrick. Henry : One instance of the application of philology to i the history of Virginia is within my own expe rience, and may not be without interest to the students of William and Mary. From a critical examination of the fragments of speeches and wri tings of Patrick Henry which have come down to us, and by a careful collation of them with those of his prominent coteniporarics, I was convinced that our Patriot Prophet had received a regular and thorough training in the Latin classics, and that he had received that training in early life. There was to be seen in his style a 'curiosa fclici tas and a ieallida junctura,' a purity and a tact which could not have been the result of chance, or they would have been equally apparent in tho works of his rivals; and it was evident, so finely were these characters interwoven in the general texture of his style, that he must have studied the ancient authors in early life; as such results rarely appear so conspicuously in the productions of those . who become acquainted with the classics at a moro advanced age. This was the argument of internal evidence an argument which was satisfactory to me, but which, without an infinitely minute expo sition of details that none but a philologist could comprehend, would not be conclusive to others. It would thus be regarded rather as an opinion than a demonstration; and I must, therefore, sus tain my conclusion, for the benefit of others, from the facts of Henry's early life. Bis father was a teacher and a native of Scotland, and he was edu cated in that country when Latin was taught with substantial skill, but many years before the sun of Greek literature had risen in the Scottish horizon. Now, the Scotch teach Latin at the tenderest age. I am myself of Scottish descent on the maternal side, and was taught by Scottish teachers, and I can hardly reniembcr a time when I could not read iatin, or at least when I was not familiar with the grammar. But the father of Henry was not only a teacher and a Scotchman, but he was an ad mirable Latin scholar; for we are told in the diary of Saml. Davics, himself a fine scholar, that the father of Henry was more familiar with his Horace than with his Bible. Hence the conclusion was irresistible that, if the father of Henry taught his pupils the classics, he would, like the rest of his countrymen, teach them early; and, as he was proved to have been thoroughly skilled iu them, that he would teach them well; and, further, that if he taught the children of other people Latin, he would at the same time teach his own. Tt is was the argument from probability, which I did not need to enhance my own conviction but which maybe necessary to gain the assent of others. Here, then, was a fact ascertained in the life of Patrick Henry which was not only not known, but which ran counter to the opinions and statements of all his eotemporaries and biographers. But was my con clusion true after all ? It was strictly true in both respects, that our great orator had learned the Latin classics, and that he had learned them in early life; for iu the recently published diary of John Adams, under the date of September, 1774, we have it from the lips of Henry himself that be fore fifteen he had read Virgil and Livy a degree of proficiency which, even in this day, except un der favorable auspices, is rarely attained at so early au age; for, between the giammar and Livy, as was observed by my venerable friend, Bishop Meade, our old teachers, even those with whom I studied, introduced nearly the entire scries of the classical authors. WEEVILS IN GRAIN. Jkcmcdj Curing Huron. Editors Southern Cultivator: I see in the June number of the Cultivator, a subscriber front Huntsville, Ela., calls loudly for a remedy against weevils. They are a pest that have annoyed the people of Texas no little, until we found a remedy, and that remedy I can safely pronounce (from ex pevieuee) as effectual, in every sense of the word; and for the benefit of all who are unacquainted with it I will give: Before the corn is cribbed, the floor of the barn or crib should be covered over with green leaves and stems of the China tree, and then as the grain is put in the crib to the depth of a foot there should be another thin layer of leaves and stems, and at the depth of another foot another layer of leaves and stems, and so on, until the grain is all cribbed. I am sure this is a remedy which requi res no labor in comparison to its value; and the China tree is a growth to be found iu almost every South ern State. I have tried this remedy for a number of years, aud never without success. It matters not if the weevil gets in the grain before it is cribbed, as this mode of cribbing will drive them out. The weevil gets in the most of the Texas corn before it is gathered.

This looks al most absurd as well as incredible, but, nevertheless it is a matter of fact, authenticated by personal experience, and not mere ruinor. AU that is necessary, is while smokin vnur meat after it is hung up, occasionally throw on tnc ure a namtiul ol eitncr tne leaves, steins, or .a f i i r i . i .i i , berries, or a few of each, and keep this up for the of tirac of smok;n;? lneatF I will further remark, that this mode of sniok- tng gives the meat no unpleasant taste.
