Letter fron jüissouri. St. Joseph, Missouri, April 17, '57. . Mi Li kan & Holmes : I am now enjoying the hupiiali.ies of my friend Capt. James Heighly, formerly of La Porte Countv, and I assure yon it is quite a treat after a three weeks tour camping out and ruffling it in Kansas. When I wrote you last, I was at Sugar Mound, where several days were spent ex-

Here we found while settlers, and some well improved farms, the lands are more bluffy or broken as we approached the city. Here I was disappointed in finding the city so favt rably located. The sight is a good one, good back landing.

Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury, in the reign of King John, in the latter part of the 12ih century, or the beginning of the 13th. Cardinal Hugo, in the middle of the 13th century, divided the Old Testament into chapters as they stand in our translation. In 1661. Athias. a Jew of Amsterdam divided the section of Hugo into verses, as we now have them. Robert Stephens, a French printer, had previously (1551) divided the New TestaThe Old Testament contains 39 books, 929 chapters, 13,214 verses, 592,439 words and 2,728,100 letters.

The preceding facts were ascertained by a gentleman in 1718. Also bv an English gentleman residing at Amsterdam, 1772, and is snid to have taken each trentleman nearly three years in the investigation. There is a Bible in the library of the University of Gottingen, written on 6,476 palm leaves. A days journey was thirty-three and 15 miles. A Sabbath day's journey was about a English mile.

In 1272 it would have cost a laboring man 13 years labor to purchase a Bible; as his pay would only be 1 pence per day while the price of a Bible was 39. Cranberries and their Culture. I noticed an inquiry from one of your subscribers in relation to cranberries and the r culture. Let me tell them how they do on prairies where the growth is spontaneous. A Mr. Essig, living about twelve miles east of this( Rochester, Ind.,) about eleven years since, bought a forty acre lot of marsh and barrens. On the marsh at that time, or about that time, one of the neighbors told me that Mr. E. found a patch of cranberry vines about as large as a breakfast-table. From this beginning, by setting out sods of the vines cut out with a spade, at intervals of from four to eHit feet, he has now about cii;ht acres well set in vines, and at different seasons he has made by the sale of the berries, clear of all expense of picking and ban el -ing, &c. from S1.2U0 to 81,900. He cleared 81 ,900 two years ago, but how much last year I do not know. A small stream runs through his marsh, by which he can overflow the land at pleasure. Sods of the vines put out in suitable prairie at intervals of four feet, will cover the ground well in three years, and will yield from Si 00 to S500 wotth of berries per year. Land that is partly covered with water during the winter and spring, isbestadaptcd to them. It is all a folly, so far as my evperience goes, to think of growing the berries on dry ground, that is, on ground that is dry at ali seasons of the year. To bs sure, during the months of September and November, one unacquainted with the prairies would think from appearances then presented, that the vines were growing on dry ground, but let him know the locality the year through; and he would find out that durinj; tho wet season the land is flooded. If a cr anbeny marsh is so drained that it becomes permanently dry, the vines will soon disappear. This at any rate , is my experience, and I have tried the vines on eight diiferent prairies and in my garden fr the lis: fur years. The experiment of sowing tho berries broadcast, made for four years, failed entirely. Rural Sew Yorker. The Island ofi' Sicily. This is a very celebrated and beautiful Island, and is importan. in the history of Greece, Rome and Carthago. It has the i;reat volcanic mountain Etna, rising from it, with many ruins of ancient cities, and some handsome ones, now inhabited. There are many rich fields and gardens; and some of the oianges which we have are brought from there. if we should isit Sicily together when the fruits were ripe, we might find a great many in the market at Palermo or Messina, which are the principal cities; and 1 am sure you would be astonished at the size of them. How large a grapo did you ever see ? Not much bigger than the end of my thumb, I presume. Well, I could sdiow you some two inches long. But to eat them in perfection, you must go into the country: and I should like nothing better than to accompany my youi:g readers there. Wo might pass through one of the gates of tho city, and see wild rocks on one side, looking down upon tho sea, and on the other the land rising gradually towards Mount Etna, which sends out a volume of smoke day and night. We might slop at the house of a peasant and ask leave to enter his vineyard; and should be sure of a kind and courteous welcome. There are beautiful grapes, hanging in rich clusters around our heads ! and there are nice, large figs and oranges ! The ancient Athenians had a colony in Sicily; and there are remains of tho Greek language now in part of tho Island. There are also several ruinous cities, with splendid temples, particularly that of Agrigentum, where naany fine columns are standing. Travelers also speak with much interest of tho quarries, where many of the stone of the finest edifices were obtained; and in some places are plainly to bo seen the spots from whieh largo columns were cut out, to bo removed to a great disiauee. There aro also found such as were broken and abandoned; and on the lop of a pi.M-o of rock is a 6un-di tl, carved on stone, which has been lef to mark the time in silence, perhaps for three t'.ousand years. What a solemn and instructive lesson ! A person traveling through Sicily, will see many interesting places. Syracuse is one of them. It is a very celebrated city, but has only a few inhabitants at tho

present day. Among the ruins the remains of a prison. It is called Vyoncsius's Ear. for it has a room in tho form of a dome, with a little hole at the top, where a person listening may hear a whisper made in any part of i'.. It is thought the tyrant Dyonesius had it built, that he might over hear what his prisoners said. The journey up Mount Etna is a long

one the desolate the eruptions of the volcano where streams; of lava that is, melted stones have flowed down in different directions and at different periods, and then cooled again into rock. A celebrated chesnut tree, of very large size and great antiquity, has existed hero for many ages. The view from the summit is exceedingly fine, many fields and lawns lying below, with the adjacent sea, on which ships are passing continually, From Peter Parley's Travds, The Origin oV HilN. In early ages, corn was pounded i:i mortars, by hand. Solomon allude? to thai custom, when he says: -'Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, with a pestle, among wheat, yet will not his foolishness depart from him." The hand mills, of later times were operated principally by women. In process of time, shafts were added to these machines, and they were worked by cattle. Water mills were invented about the time of Julius Ceasar; but they did not come into general use till A. D. 400. It is supposed tha wind-mills originated in tho East and were introduced into Europe by the Crusaders. This however is doubted, as such mills were in use in Europe as early as the first crusade. Feuual lords, claimed the privilege of erecting all corn mills and requiring their vassals to grind at their mills, called lan-milh. The building of such müh was then very expensive, and none but lords, and barons, could aiford the expense; hence they claimed all tolls, from their dependents, by way of remuneration. At one lime the monks desired t erect a wind-mill for their own convenience; thelord of the soil opposed their purpose, saying that the wind in that district, belonged to him. They appealed to their bishop, who, in great indignation, claimed spiritual control of the winds, in his diocese, granted letters pa!ent to the holy fathers. By improvements introduced in France, in the grinding of corn, about the year 17G3, the amount of flour obtained was nearly doubled. Saw mills are more recent, in their origin, than corn mills. The earliest method known for procuring planks, was by spiitting the trunks of trees with wedges, and hewing the sides with axes. Until the middle of the sixteenth centuiv, all planks in Norway were thus m anufactured. The saw is an instrument of very remote antiquity. The inventor of it, was, like other benefactors, ranked among the ods. Ovid celebrated his praises, in his Metamorphoses. He savs, the idea was su"gested by the spines which project from the back-bone of a fish. By others, the di scovery is attributed to the accidental use of the jaw bone of a snake in serving a piece of wood. The saw was used in pit sawing, during most of the dark ages. It was first adapted to mills in Germany, in 1322. Saws were not introduced into England till 1767. The first constructed mills were destroyed by mobs. The invention of the circular saw, has added greatly to the efficiwiicy of modem mills, and now, almost every variety and form of timber, used by mechanics, is cut into proper shape for use, by such saws. The TopcKa Convention. The recent Topeka Convention did many unwfo things such as reviewintr their dead and buried Topeka Coustitu ion, calling upon tho next Congress to ratify it, was rejectea by Congress, and is void. The next Congress will be strongly Democratic, and will not recede from the action of the pievious session. As for Robinson, he ii no more President of Kansas than King of England, and no more legal title to be. Tha Governor of Kansas is the gentleman whom President Buchanan has just named for that office, under the pro-visio-s of tho organic act of the Territory. Tho obs inate and stupid conduct of the Topeka people is unworthy of tho Free State men of Kansas, with whoso honest endeavors to make Kansas a Freo State we have always sympathized. But we canno. sympathize widi this rebellion against tho law of th land, and this insult to the Feleral Government. The whole thing is a ßilly firee, and the resolutions of the Convention are not worth the paper on which they are written. Wo may laugh the thing off as a practical joke, but it is fool hardy to jest ou Ruch dangerous grounds.

In view cf the fact that Mr. Walker had recently b--e:i appointed Governor of Kansas, this extract will be perused with interest and will go far to allay the feelings cf our neighbor the Guzetfc on Kansas and Slavery : "There is another reasou not heretofore adverted to, which seems to render ii impracticable long to rr.aititain slavery ia Kansas. In all the slave States there is a large majority of voters who are non-slave-holders, but they are devoted to the iM - solutions uf tlie South; they would def -n i them with their lives; and on thid qu -z-tion they are a united people.
