is the best he has ever used for fattening c.-it

ago by feeding one ox with corn and oats
ground, the other with corn ai:.'_l c'o'.;s-tlie
two oxen being so well matched that no one,
on viewing them was satisfied which was
best: accordingly tliey were fed as above.
Each ox had an equal quantity at a time,
except the one which had corn and oats
sometimes became dainty, and would not
eat his allowance, while the other kept his
regular course. The allowance for both
was about three pecks per day. The cat-
tle were taken to market, and weighed about
2300 The one fed on corn and oats llilll
162 lbs. of tollow. The one that was fed
on corn‘and cobs had "163 lbs. oftullow, and
the purcliaser of the two oxen pronoui':ce(|
the beef ofthe latter to be worth half a dol-
lar on the hundred more tliaii that of the
other, on account ofthe color oftlie beef-
It has also been proved by actual trial,
that good and palteable bread may be made
from corn and cobs, ground about half and
half, sifted as usual, and the addition of the
usual quantity ‘of rye meal.
Goorl Ifotise-If(:cpc7's.—If there be any
thing among the t€,li1p0l':llS to make lite
pleasant, it is in the wa ls of a well Ol‘(l(‘l‘(:(l
house, where all is adjusted—iiot. by its finc-
ry or costliness, but by its fitness, its air of
neatncss and content, which invite all who
enter it to taste its coiiilorts. The woman
who does not make this a grand item in all
her routine of duties, has not yet icariied the
true dignity of her station——has not yet ac-
quired the alpha of that alphabet which is
set before her: and she who despises this
noble attainment dcspises her best worldly
good, and indirectly despises her family, her
neighbors, and the word of God. “She
lookctli well to the ways ofher household,”
was spoken by the wisest man that cvcrliv-
ed, and will be told a memorial of all those
who have been eminent for this noble char-
acter. [Gem of Tum.
Increasing and Fcrmcnting l.'1:I7zurI. in the
T’Vintcr.—It is a very common remark, and
frequently illustrated, that what the farmer
earns in summer is expended in \Vinter.——
This arisrs froiu the unproduciiveiiess oftlie
labor of both the former and his horses du-
ring the cougcalirig l1'lOl1l.l'iS. Among the
subjects of primary attention at this season
is the prepai'at.ion of manure. For the want
ofthis “:l'('.})lll‘Zliir}l'l, many farmers have lit-
t’e or no manure for their spring crops. par-
ticularly for corn, and for top dressing. Be-
sides being unfit, ii'om its coarseness, and
want of fei'mci'if:atioii, it is attended, at the
most busy part of the year, v.'i‘.h inucb addi-
tional labor in carting, and in applying it to
the gi'ound.-—it is a generally received opin-
ion that manure requircs the heat of spring
and summer to produce fcruieiit.'ition ; but
this is crroiieous. ‘Straw, leaves. and vari-
ous other vegetablc as well as animal sub-
stances, may be very much fermented and
comniutcd in the winter and early spring
inontlis. [N. Y. Farmer.
Salt to destroy Trcc5.——Aniong the most
useful substances in proniotiiigliealtli in the
animal and VCg'(2li).lJlC kingdoms is salt. Like
tiioiisands of other substances, it destroys,
wheii used in excess, those very things which
it benefits when applied in moderate and
suita‘"'clc quantities. In excess it is destruc-
tive of vegetation, but mixed in due propor-
tions with the soil it greatly promotes the
growth and health of plants. A writer in
the Geuucssee lfarnier recommends to con-
cave the stump of a tree, which is difricult
to kill, and pour on it very strong brine. [I/1.
To Prcscrvc Ay)plcs.—M:iiiy mctliods are
given to preset-v<-, apples, and most of them
troublesome and attended with inconveni-

""inost instances we found that the apples
were carefully picked, and packed away in
:1 dry statc,in well season-ed liarrcls, and put
in an airy dry cellar or room, where they
wiil not frecze, and where there is not much
ci'iau=,§c of temperature. They should be
examined as often as their sound preserva-
tion rcquircs. Putting sand in the barrels,
and wrappiiig the apples in paper, are a-
mong the methods recommended. [Ib.

aftcrw'-irds. There were some Greek sai-

the captain, conspired for his destruction.
In the end, the captain, and all the crew
and passengers, excepting two Turkish sai-

both wounded, but during the mutiny con-
trived to conceal themselves. The muti-

Steam boat Ilfutingj ——Tbc following ac-
count of an attempted mutiny on board the
Steam Boat Freedom, has been furnished
by the Captain, and seine ofthe passengers,
who were on board at the time the occur-
reiice took plrce.
Nov. 20. Two ofthe deck hands were
sent in the hold to regulate some freight pro-
paratory to getting out. One of them let-
ting the candle fall, was beaten by the other,
whose name was James Algeo.
Some time after this, one of the deck pas-
sengers whose uaiiie was Barns, while
standing by the fires, hearing of the circum-
stance, remarked that he should like to
wbipjust such a fellow as Algeo. On hear-
ing this Algco stepped forward to give him
battle, when Barns drew his pistol and re-
treated to the inner part ofthe deck. Algco
went to some of his companions, borrowed
a Spanish knife-, retured to the deck, broke
down the d‘oor,and pursued Barns to the
stern of the boat, where; after inaltiiig sev-
eral unsucccssful attcinpls:tostabfsaid Brirns
he struck one ofthc stanchions of the boat
in such a manner that the knife dropped,
which was iuunediately seized by Barns,
who now inflicted seven wounds on the body
of Algco, of‘which six were mortal. VVhile
Burns was thus bu y engaged, he was
stabbed in the back by John ‘-»'v'all-;ei', one of
Algeo’s companions. This occurred about
ll A. M. During the rest ofthe day Algeo
was constantly cntrcating his conipaiiioiis
to avenge his death, for lie was aware that
his time in this world was short; but as they
did not seem to pay much attention to his
eiitreatics, the captain and passengers did
not feel the least uneasy for the safety of
Barns, whose wound was but slight. It
seems, however, that more attention was
paid to them than was supposed, for at a-
bout 3 o’clock in the morning of the 21st,
the ufortunatcBariis was shot whilclaying in
his liaminock. The perpetrator oftliis cow-
ardly deed was not kiiown,——tliough suspi-
cions at once rested upon John \Valkcr,
who had not been seen for several hours.—
At 6 o'clock the boat was searched from top
to bottom, but nothing of \Valker could be
ouiid-. During the rest of the day little
of consequence ~occurrc(l, excepting the
drukenness oftlie mate and sailors, who, by
their threats, very plainly showed that they
were displeased with the capt. and passen-
gers for ofi'ering a reward of five hundred
dollars for the discovery of the uuknowii
murderer, for, from circumstaces, we were
confident tliat'more than one had a hand in
the business.
On the night of the 22d, a plot was dis-
covered, which if carried into effect, would
have proved the destruction of the boat and
passengers. On the discovery the mate and
four oftlie sailors were arrested and confin-
ed. The boat was again searched, and to
our great surprise, John \Valkei' was found
in the hold. \Ve immediately put him in
confiiiemeiit with the restof his comp.-iiiions
keeping a strict watch over them until we
arrived at Mills’ Point, where they were de-
livered over to the civil authority of that
place. The plot appeared to be as follows:
A slow match was to have been put to two
kegs of powder, which were in the hold ; the
six mutiiieers were toiuake their escape by
mcns ofthc small boat, leaving the rest to
their fate.
Upwurds of 50 cabin and deck passen-
gers left; the boat at Memphis, on the ‘Jlst,
on account of the threats made by Robinson
(the mate) and the sailors.

V Mr Clay, on leave,introduced a bill sim-
ilariii its featiires to the Vetoed Laud Bill,
which was read the first time by its title.
Mr Clay moved the consideration ofthe
resolution ofi'ered by Mr Benton, and in.-
mediately offered the following amendment
as an additional resolution, which was read
and agreed tot-
/lnd Resolved, also, That the Secretary
of the 'l‘reasury be directed to report to the
Senate the names ofall the Banks, and
where they are respectively situatetl, which

tinguishing bctwecn what has been actually

guished agent of the Government’; ‘the a-

Secretary of the Treasury has been able to

and if not, at what ports has he been unable
to obtain such consent.
Mr. Forsytlie introduced a bill for the
fulfilment of the compact of ISOQ, between,
the United States and Georgia.
Mr Clay rose and said that he desired to
call the attention oftlie Senate to a subjecr,
perhaps, exceeding in importance any oth-
er question likely to come before the pres-
ent Congress. He advertcd to the report
of the Secretary of the Treasury on the
subject oftlie removal of the Di-posits. He
then moved to take up this report for con-
sideration. Vl'liich was agreed to——
Mr Clay then said that the Charter gran-
ted to the Batik of United States provided
for the dcposite of the money of the United
States in that bank and its Branches. It
vested in the Secretary of the Treasury the
power to remove those depositcs, whenever
"such remo 'als should be required by the
public interests; but it is further required
that whenever he does remove the depositcs,
he shall submit to Congress his reason for
the act at their next session. A remo-
val of the Public Deposits had been deter-
mined on. How was this to be effected?
or, at wlioscinstance? was not at present
the question to be considered. But 21 remo-
val had taken place; and the Secretary
had stated that this was done by his order,
and he had laid before Congress his reit-
sons. When Congress, at the time of the
passage of the Cliarter ofthe bank, made it
iiccessai'y that tlicse reasons should be sub-
mitted, they must liave had some purposes
in their mind. It must have been intended
that Congress should look into these rea-
sons, determine their validity, and ap-
prove or disapprove them as might be
thought proper. The reason had now been
submitted, and it was the duty of Congress
to decide, whether or not they were sulfi-
ciciit to justify the act. If there was any
subject" which, more than any other, sceni-
ed to require the piompt action ofCongress,
it certainly was that which had reference to
the custody and care of the public I‘\.'flCt\Sl]i1‘y.
The Senate therefore, could not, at foo ear-
ly a period, enter on the qiiest_ioii—-dmt
was the actual condition of the Tr'e.'is‘}"i
A high officerof the Govei'nment,who on ‘ll’-
to he in the Chair, now so honorably fille
by the President pro. tom. and whose ab-
sence lie (Mr. C.) sincerely regretted, had
once told the Senate to see where the lost
rights of the States were. Now be (Mr C.)
wished to discover where was the public
Ti'c:is-.ii'_v, and whether the public inoiiey
was in safe custody-
It was not his purpose to go into a dis-
cussion, hut he had risen to state that it ap-
peared to him to be his duty as a Senator,
and he hoped that our Senators took simi-
lar views of their duty, to look into this sub-
ject, and to see what was to be done. As
the report oftlie Secretary of the 'l‘rcasury
had declared the reasons which had led to
tine removal oftire public depositcs, and, as
the Senate had to judge wlietlier, on inves-
tigation ofthcse re:-isoiis, the act was a wise
one or not, he considered that it would not
be right to refer the subject to any commit-
tee, but that the Senate should at once act
on it, not taking it up in the form of a re-
port ofa committee, _but going into an exa-
iiiiiiatioii c-fthe reasons as they had been
submitted.
lle wished to make the report of the Sec-
retary the order for some particular day, in
the belief that the requisition made by the
act of Congress on the Secretary of the,
Treasury for his reasons, on the removal of
the depositcs, was doubtless intended to
place the whole matter before Congress for
consideration;
Mr Clay then moved to postpone the con-
sideratioii of the report until Monday next,-
aiid make it the special order of the day,
which was agreed to.
The following rcsoluiioii was submitted
by ./Ur Clay, which was read and laid on
the table : .
Resolved, That the President of the U.
States he requested to inform the Senate
whether a paper under date the day of
September, 1833, purporting to have been
read by him to the Heads oftlie several De-
paittnieiits, relating to the deposites of the
public money in Treasury of the United
States, and alleged to have been publislied
by his authority, be genuine or not; and if
ii be genuine, that he be also requested to.
lay a copy of said paper before the Senate.
Mr VVebster presented a bill to provide,
satisfaction to ouu citizens for French spo-
liations. Read twiced. _ . ’
Mr \Vilkins presented a bill for the relief
A G Ralston another. Read twice. _.
Mr King submitted a resolution in rela-
tion to losses sustained by the citizens of
Alabama from the Creek Indians, which
was laid on the table.
