IitmssTUB Daemon ut BAwcatmcr.—In 'flfthe U. S- District Court at Boston, ah Intereating cane in bankruptcy was decided. 0.

C. Tebbets having been declared a bankrupt, upon his petition, Messrs. Adams, Homer, & Co. of Boston, filed objections to bis final discharge, upon the ground that he

tL &

had

not ac-

counted for 14,444, which had come into his possession as administrator of the estate of thelato llenrv H. Willard.and which he bad set down in his schedule as the sum due to the estate. It was further objected, but with less force, that Tebbets should have enumeruted A.

Co., and others, who were en*

titled to shares of the estate of Willard? as fjis (IVs) creditors, instead of the estate, l^fOn the questions thus raised. Judge Story delivered a very elaborate opinion On Monday and, mainly, first, that the existence of fiduciary debts, contracted before the passage of the act, would not deprive the petitioner of a right to a discharge in bankruptcy from ail his other debts. Secondly, that the claims of those having leg.il demands against the admini»tr itor would still remain against him, notwithstanding his discharge in bankruptcy. Thirdly, that if these creditors came in with the other creditors for a share in the assets of the bankrupts, they would be stopped from further proceeding against him after his discharge and fourthly, that fiduciary debts, contracted subsequently to the day of the passage of the bankrupt law, would entirely prohibit the discharge of the bankrupt. -gvx*'*

The nullification of this law, by "an

rior

of pre

sentation, was all that remained to be done. It was as certain to be nullified as that the Judge is Judge, us that Col. Benton is Colonel Benton, and, as that the arch Huinbugger, who may now soon be cxpected here, holds in his hands the power of electing whom he pleases, to the United States Senate for six years from the 4th of March, 1843.

METHODIST FEMALE COLLEGE. There is a projcct on foot in Ohio to establish a Methodist Female College, for the purpose of educating females in the higher branches. The plan upon which the College is to be founded is as follows: 1. It is intended to have tho Institution chartered, with authority to confer degrees and it is to teach all sciences taught in Colleges, and *uch ornamental branches as are within the limits of a proper regard to religion and morals. 2. To effect these ends, a Faculty of Instruction and Discipline is already appointed, (as the reader may see in the advertisement,) and suitable grounds and buildings adapted to the enterprise, will be^firocurod.

S. It is proposed also,to aid, ts ft as profit icnble, in the normal instruction of female teachers, and to keep in view the religious training of the pupils.

A pleasing instance of the sagacity and affection of a dog, has been communicated to us, and the facts, we presume, are substantially correct, as follows:—On Tuesday last, a. young man, about 18 years of ago, residing near Tapley's Brook, in Danvers, left his father's house, in the morning, with his

At first in his eagerness, the. dog ran out of sight of the man who followed him but being recalled by a whistle, kept himself afterward, only a short distance in advance. The man followed "through brake and through briar,*' but was rather daunted when the dog plunged into tho reoesses of

Mr. Kendall, in the account of Ins Santa Fa expedition, speaks of some remarkable dogs used by. the Mexicans to guard their sheep* He says: "There wtsrevwry fewmeit along with this immense herd of sheep* but in their atead were a largo number of ooble dogs, who appeared to be peoaliariy gifted wfehtlM focility of keeping tbem together.

MURDERS IM LOUISIANA. A slip from the office of the Franklin (Attakapas) Republican, states that a short time since, two ranaway negroes from the plantation of Mr. Robert Brasbears, Mre captured on the Bayou Sallo Bay, by tblfee white per sons who wefk in twoboats. were then tiedfand placed in L. Wilcox olpayou Sal|fe, wl three double-in rrel guns and They were proceeding'to Ba when the boats were about two hundred yards apart, Wilcox untied them for the purpose of having them to pull the negroes pounced on to him and threw him overboard, shot him through the head, and then attempted to shoot the other two men, and pursued them for some distance, when they changed their coufie. The alarm was givco to the citizens of lower Bayou Salle, who immediately went in pur* suit of the negroes they, however, were not to be found, as they had succeeded in making the Cypre Mort wends, where they were discovered on Friday morning last. One of them named Rollin, was arrested, and the other, after wounding Mr. T. Lebauve, was shot in the heart and killed, by that gentleman. Rollin was immediately tried and sentenced to be executed*

About noon, the dog entered the house, and appeared inn state ofextraordinary agitation, making many motions whieffwere afterwards understood to be an invitation to follow him, but which at the time occasioned some apprehensions that ho was about to suffer an attack of hydrophobia. Finding that no attention was paid to his wishes, he 6nally left the house, and was not seen afterward for several hours, when ho itgain entered and re-commenced his attempts to induce the family to follow him. A person then in the house, but who was not there at the dogs previous visit, observing his strange conduct, and learning that it was similar to what had been exhibited before, concluded that there was

A TALE OP DEATH.

The Derry Standard of a late date says: *On Thursday last, while a number of the workmen employed in the erection of Glenttes Workhouse, were standing together, one of them, with "no bad intention, we believe, took the bonnet of bis neighbor, and threw it into the limekiln belonging to the works, which had not been quite emptied since tho last burning. The owner of the bonnet went down into the kiln to recover it, but, not making his appearance, one of his friends also descended by the ladder, to see what detained him, nod afterwards another, and another, till four had disappeared. The fears of the rest were now excited, and, having hastened to the kiln, they heard a faint shriek, and, with great difficult ty, succeeded, by throwing down a rope, in rescuing the last of the four who had descended, from the fate which had overtaken the other three. Death was caused by their inhaling the carbonic acid gas which had collected at the bottom of the kiln." &$j

A DREADFUL STOHY—-The Motmt Holly Herald states that a man and his wife lately living in Chester Township, in that county, "were last week detected of having thrown three of their children into the fire, and there let them remain until they were burnt to ashes. This was done directly after each child was born for the third successive year."-— Philadelphia Enquirer.

A MAD BULL AND A DARING ACT.— -The New York Herald states that "a furious bull, mad from some cause, perhaps the weather, rushed up one of the cross streets yesterday into Broadway carrying every thing living in a mass before him, with tail erect nose to tho ground, and dust fiying as he bounded forward. Those who promenade Broadway were in a feverish a state as they would have been had a locomotive been approaching. He dashed at one man, whose name we could not ascertained, and thiew him some twenty feet with his horns, and several others were injured as he proceeded on his eourga,and his mad career was finally s«fj^ by wfe fftrlng ln trepidity of a young mitt named Horatio N. Ball, of 27 Clirislie street, who resolutelv rushed forward, and severed the sinews of his hind teg. with a knife."

The following story related by Or. Franklin, in a letter io Dr. Mather, nas been often told, and is well worth telling strain: The last time aaw your father, says Dr. Franklin, was in 1734.

We were still talking os I withdrew, be aooompanying me behing, and I turning towards nim, when nesaid nastily stoop! stoop! I did not understand him, till I felt my head hit against the beam- He waa a man who never missed an occasion of giving instruction, and upon thia he said to me, "you are young, and have tho world before you—stoop as you go through it, and you will mias many hard thumps-" This advice, thus beat into my bead, has frequently been of Use to me and I often think of it when I see pride mortified, and misfortunes brought upoo people, by thus carrying their heads too high.

THB NEW BRITISH TARIFF.—The following among the reductions in the British tariff, are among those having the most important bearing upoo the interests of thia coentry, and partteularly the Wutern States. The redaction on tallow, lard, pork, sod beef alone oflers at) immense outlet to those articles, of which the West bas such a superabundance. The prospective sale of those articles aione may be sufficient to enable them to pay their debts. F. means foreign p. c. means per cent. .Pressaf Datf. PrtpattM flwjr.

AGRICULTURAL.

LARD OIL AND STEARIN,

laprovesaeats or the age^Cora elaborated iato hogs—Hags elaborated into lassfs aatl caadles. jLard oil and stearin, very greasy subjects, have been bandied so much and with such skill hy the western press, of late, that we would let them paas, ourselves, but for the important bearing that their manufacture will have on the general agricultural prosperity of the western Stales.

If it shall be made to appear that these States can actually supply the market, not of this country nwrely, but of Europe, and in fact the whole world, with a substitute for sperm and spermaceti oil CHEAPER than could be done elsewhere, then, indeed we may expect a new era io both the manufacturingand tbe agricultural prosperity of the We9t. As to the relative value and com.iosition of stearin and sperm, stearin and s|ierm are, in all their properties, essentially the same, and, so far as examined, their chirnical constitution is identical.

!\Ve,

however, have setn but lit

tle sperm that would bear comparison With a specimen of steririn shown ns by a gentleman of this city not long since. This was probably mainly owing to the pains taken in separating so perfectly the elaihe (lard oil) and sterin. Lard and spermnceti oil are nearly, if not quite, identical in their ehimicul consti? tution, being composed each of them in 100 parts of about 80 parts -carbon, 11 parts of Hydrogen, and 9 of oxygen. The cornposi tion of lard, or a fm alosely resembling it *haa beefcduie|iilwu4 j^|iiiil)i iQAttT as analyticaliy. by a 'eWioue experianeAl— Twenty measures of hydrogen, ten .of cafburetted hydrogen, and ooe of carbon io ncid, were transmitted throj^h%i«d hot Iron tube, and on combination ytekllj crystals easily fusible into a^fatty substance closely reserabling it, if it was not actually* lard. ,7

But now we must como to the PafCK%t which stearin and lard oil can be AFFOSDPD at the presenjt cost of lard and the separation or manufacture from it of the articles in |ues-

The price of lard here ranges between tliree tfikl eight cents. One pound of lard will yield a half pound each, of stearin and lafd oil. life separation of lard into stearin andjard oiTt# not, as heretofore conducted, very expensive, and, we doubt not, will yet be chetiponed by the application of some re-ngenl—the process as now conducted being more mcchanical than chimical, and precisely the same as that in use for the production of sperm and spermaceti oil. Tbe lard is pressed on bibulous paper whichtfbsorbsand permits the transmission of the lard oil while the stearin remains behind on the surfaoe of the paper. Such is the process, and a very simple one. Did you ever let drops fall from a sperm candle on paper, and not observe that the paper hod absorbed a portion

We have heard nuqiberless methods recommended for the preservation of beana after pulling, but hone that We recollect of mom efiectual than the following. Instead of the usual method of spreading, a couple of slim, light slakes, from six lo sevon f«et in length* are placed perpendicularly in tbeaotl, and so firmly as to efiectually reeut the impulse of tbe wind. Between these stakes thftre should bufefta space of about e^ht inchee,and upon the ground at the bottom, a stone or bil!nt of wood should be placed, in order to keep the baatui from the soil* aod protect tbem font the humidity of the soil, by which, even provided the weather during ihe period of harvest should be dry, the beans at the bottom of the stack would be likely to he spoiled.— Upon this billet, as soon as: pulled, and- without any previous preparation, save the cleansing of the fibrouB roots from the adhering soil, the vines should at once be placed the pods or topa in one direction, ana if convenient, with a slight inclination to the southwest, the better to preserve thorn from heavy and protracted rains. When foil, the stakes should be secured at top by a withe. This, while it will effectually preserve tbe crop from the injury resulting from frequent driving storms, will also insure their preservation from dampness and mould, by securing to every part the advantages resulting from a free circulation of air, and the consequent exemption from heat. g-*

As regards the economy of this ploceir over other and more antiquated practices, it is unnecessary in thif place to apeak. Beans cured in this manner are found, uniformly to be much better, and more saleable in market, than those harvested in the

oil from the sperm, and

led it hanter. This was because thesepara* tion of the sperm from the oil wasnot quite perfect, and shows you the manner in which lard oH and stearin ale separated. *^At the present cost of lard, and the itoairafacture of stearin and lend oil, a handsome profit would be yielded on the former, at 20 cents per lb*, sod the letter at 80 cents per gallon. Such prices would drive sperm and spermeeeti oil out-of any market.

The eooseqoeat demand for htrd will induce a change in ttfe plan ©farming," and corn wiH he mors extenairirfy cultivated and "elaborated Into hogs,** and bogs will be more extensively elaborated into lard. Such will be the demand for lard, titat almost the **entfre swine," will paas into the lard kettle, and the fertile valley of the Misuissippi, instead of being patched with alternate fields of tobacco, hemp, and grain, will present broad and expansive fields of Waving com. We congratulate our citizens on the prospect of such a change, in proportion only as a country de-

When harvested seasonably,and well preserved, tbe pods and vines of beans affbrd an excellent teed for aheep and which during their incarceration in winter,and when.from, the general scarcity of varieties, tlieir native fastidiousness is mostly overcome* mever pertaken of with the greatest avidity, and as haa been imagined plausibly enough we think by many not with manifest advantages to their health and strength.—3fa»ne Cultivator.

HERBS.

A wise housekeeper will remember in time, that ho and his may be sick in the course of a year, and then he may want certain valuable herbs which he cannot find without much trouble and loss of time. Now is the season for getting them and let it not be pamed unimproved. The following will be found valuable: sage, thyme, peppermint, spearmint, tansy, rue, summers* vorv, hoarhound, wormwood, balm, mellows, horseradish leaves these are generally cultivated in gardens our fields and woods affbrd the following valuable herbs gold thread, life of man, sarsaparilln, blood root, sweet flag root, bog onion or inucillnginous brake root, elecampane, catnip, johnswort, &c*. Don't let the present opportunity to save such things pass.

All herbs should be gathered when fairly in blossom, and dried by spreading thorn in the shade, as up in tho garrett or in an open chamber. The sun extracts the aronria, and causes them to loose half their virtue.}
