What Some Folks Eat. A keeper of a branch in the Fulton Market, New York, had a hearing before a Justico on the charge of selling "plated veal." The testimony shows what plated veal is. A witness aays: "I mean by plated vetl, putting piece of fat pork, where the kidney ought to be if tho whole of these nino qunrters were tried out, after taking a* way the pork, enough fat could not be got out to grease ajuckknife butchers call this "bob veal." 1 have been a butcher for forty years I consider this meat very unwholesome it was very young, and had been starved either here or while it was brought here there was pnt a particle of fat about it, and out very little muat on the bones, and 1 consider what there was, very unwholesome."
One of the attorneys said "this comes from licensing men to sell meat, that know nothing about it the name is sufficient. I can produco a woman in NVilliamsburg that cooked steaks, cut from the thigh of the pirate Gibbs, who was hung, and people ate, and pronounced them the finest they ever ate— being under the impression that it was the flesh of an animal."
Mr. Perringer—It was at a Hotel in the Bowery, at an affair called a "tackle,' in which every person participating con tributed some article of food, to be pre pared for the dinner this place was a resort for medical students, and the body ol Gibbs having been handeJ over to the medical faculty for dissection, a wag of a student conceived the idea of playing of a joke upon some of the participants at the "takle he accordingly procured •ome slices of the remains of the pirate, which were cooked and passed off as the flesh of some animal those who partook pronounced it most delicious.
A correspondent of the National In telligencer, speaking of the charge of the Light Cavalry at Balaklava, mentions a case nearly parallel in the United States, which occurred during the war of 1812. It was at Little Eng land Farm, in Elizabeth city county, Ya., that on the 25th of June, 1812, Adjutant Robert Anderson, of the 68th regiment, ft volunteer staff officer, aervIng without pay or rations, and a native of the ancient city or Williamsburg, now residing at Yorktown, led a battalion of three hundred Virginia volunteers in a charge upon more than three thousand British regulars, commanded by Gen. Sir Sydney Beckwith and Admiral Sir George Cockburn, killing and wounding aixty-four of the English, with a loss ol only nineteen Americans, and when nearly outflanked, retreating to Yorktown, a distance of twenty-four milwi^ -.-j-.-r rr irj-r rj ... *5
A Goner.—The Van Buren (Arkansas) Intelligencer of the 30th ult., aays: "It has been mathematically proven and practically demonstrated, that the Arkanaas river will no more be fit for navigation.— The banks have fallen -in to such an extent aa to widen the bed of the river immeasurably, requiring a larger volume of water than usually cornea down io ordinary rises, to furniah its thirsty bars and to fill up the bed. The only dependence now is the railroad.

Arsenic-Smokingy Care fjr Consump* 'i? tioa. Many of your readers will remember to have read, within the past few years, curious accounts of the habitual swallowing of arsenic by the peasants in the mountainous pnrts of Transylvania, and some other parts of the Austrian provinces. It gave them a blooming complexion, and enabled them to endure long ascending walks on the mountains, without overtaxingtheir lungs. A scientific journal here, recently quoted the statements of M. Momigny, French Consul in China, in reference to the use of arsenic by the Northern Chinese. He says they mingle it with their smokingtobacco. The custom is peculiar to cer tain provinces, and so common that, ac« cording to the testimony of missionaries who lived along time there, tobacco free from arsenic is not sold. The same witnesses assured the Consul that the arsenic-smokers were stout fellows, with "lungs like a blacksmith's bellows, and rosy as cherubs." The publication of Montigny's statement has called out a letter from Dr. Londe, who informs us that some years ago, in the course of a discussion at the Academy of Medicine, on the agents to be employed to cure tubercular consumption, he told the assembled doctors that he had found but one successful means of combating this dreadful disease that means was the smoking of arsenic. The doctor re-af-firms his commendation of this remedy.
is said that the
Jews, Turks, Arabians, and all those who observe the precept of avoiding blood and swine's flesh, are infinitely more free from disease than Christians more especially do they escape those oprobia of the medical art. gout, scrofu la, consumption, and madness. The Turks eat great quantities of honey and pastry, and much sugar, they also eat largely and are indolent yet do not suffer from dyspepsia as Christians do.— The swine fed natives of Christendom suffer great devastation from a painful tubercular diseaae of the bowels (dysen tery,) than from any other cause. Those persons who abstain from swine's flesh and blood, are infinitely more healthy and free from humors, glandular disea sea, dyspepsia, and consumption while in those districts and among those classes of men, where the pig makes the chief article of diet, tubercle in all ita forms of eruptions, sore legs, bad eyes and abcesses, must prevail. It is stated thai Prince Edward's Island has a climate exactly similar tu Great Britain, yet the inhabitants are not consumptive, neither is the pig cultivated there. .f
Yankee.—Some
man, from a considerable way down East, has invented what he calls the Patent Never-failing Garden Preserver or Hen Walker." The invention consists of a small instrument, aomething like a spur, only considerable longer, which ia attached to the hind part of the hen's leg. pointing at an angle of 45 degrees towarda the ground. When the hen, with this instrument on her legs, enters the garden in the spring, after the seeds, and puts her foot forward to acratch, the "walker" catches in the ground and forcea her forward and thus she ia walked, in her efforts to scratch, entirely out of the garden.

and whit amount of grain is now held in Northern Illinois ia becoming a mat te.r of great solicitude. The Chicago Free Press of the 11 th saya, in reference to the stocks and receipts of grain at that point:
Accounts, estimates, and speculations aa to actual available quantities of pro duce, to go forward from upper lake ports, are almost as diversified aa their authors. Receipts at this place, since the 3lst of March, have increased in a much larger ratio, than for the two weeka preceding, which waa ahown to be, not including flour, about 300,000 bush* e's. c:,:
Since that date one or two large warehouses, which were partly filled, are now full, and the large one of Munger & Armour, Gibbs, Griffin & Co.. have commenced receiving, and for the last few days have been taking in grain at the rate of not less, than 20,000 bushels per day.
Without being in possession of theac tual returns it may not be far out of the way estimate, that after, deducting Southern shipments of wheat we have on hand 1,300,000 bushels of grata. It must be borne in mind that the Eastern railroads arejflfetinually tapping our granaries, anm|Pee the fact, that the quantity of giain now in the country is

cutious ser
mon was delivered a Sunday or two ago at the Roman Catholic Church of the Annunciation, at Manhattanville, New York, by the Rev. Mr. Walworth, a son of Ex-Chancellor Walworth, of Saratoga. The topic of his discourse was the location and torments of hall. He un dertook to demonstrate that hell was situated in the inside of this^earth, commencing about twenty-one miles from the surface, where granite begins to melt. He also affirmed that heat was the predominant character of this abode of the damned, and illustrated the proposition by reference'to the uniformly high temperature of everything which had reached us from that quarter of the globe.

Among the numerous discoveries Science has made in this generation to facilitate the business o( life—increase its enjoyment, and oven prolong the term of human existence, none can be named of more real value to mankind, than this contribution of Chemistry to the Healing Art. A vast trial of its virtues throughout this broad country, has proven beyond a doubt, that no medicine or combination of medicines yet known, can so surely control and„cure the numerous varieties of pulmonary disease which have hitherto swept from our midst thousands and thousands every year. Indeed, there is now abundant reason to believe a Remedy has at length been found which can be relied on, to cure the most dangerous affections of the lungs. Our space here will not permit us to publish any proportion of the cures affected by its use, but wo would present the following: and refer further inquiry to my American Almanac, which the agent talow named will always be pleased to furnish free, wherein are full particulars, and indisputable proof of these statements.

J. C. Ater. Dear Sir,—My little son, four years old has just recovered from a severe attack of malignant Scarlet Fever, his throat was rotten, and every person that visited him pronounced him a dead child- Having used yourCiiERRy Fecto ial in California, in the winter of 1850, for a severe attack of Bronchitis, with entire sue cess, I was induced to try it on my little boy. gave him a tea spoon full every three hour*, commencing in the morning, and by ten o'clock at night I lound decided change for the bettor, and after three days use, he was able to eat or drink without pain.
Its use in the above named disease will save many a child from a premature grave, and relieve Uie anxiety of many a fond parent. For ali uf fectipns ot the Throat and Lungs, I beUove it the best medicine extant. A feeling of the deepest gratitude, prompts me in oddressing you these lines,—but for your important discovery, my little boy would now have been in another world.
I am yours, with great respect, J. D. POWELL, Sup. Tran., L. R. R.

I take pleasure in selling it, because I know that I am giving my customers the worth of their monejr, and feel gratified in seeing the benefit it confers.

TEVER & AGUE CURE?-
OR, NATURE'S INFALLIBLE SPECIFIC. IT'OR the Prevention and Cure of intermittent JT and Remittent Fevers, Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Dumb Ague,General Debility, Night Sweats, and all other forms ot disease which have a common origin Malaria or Miasma. This subtle atmospheric poison which at certain seasons is unavoidably innaled at every breath, is the same in character wherever it exists,—North, South, East or West,—and will everywhere yield to this newly discovered anti dote, which is claimed to bo the gkeatyst discovery IN MEDICINE Evfcn MADE.
This specific is so harmless that it may be taken by persons of every age. sex or condition, and it will not substitute for one disease othfrs still worse, ns is too often the result in the treat rtient with Quinine, MrrCury, Arsenic, and other poi-Honous or deleterious drugs, not a particle of any of which is admitted into this preparation.
The pioprietor distinctly claims these extraordinary results from the use of this NATURAL ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA.
It will entirely ptotect any resident or traveller even in the most sickly or swampy localities, from any Ague, or Billious disease whatever, or any injury irom constantly inhaling Malaria or Miasma.
It will instantly check the Ague in persons who have suffered for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, so that they need never have another chill, by continuing its use according to directions-
It will immediately relieve all distressing results Of Billious or Ague diseases, such as general debility, night sweats, &c. The patient at once begins to recover appetite and strength, and continues until a permanent and radical cure is effected.
Finally, its use will binish Fever and Ague from families, and all classes. Farmers and all laboring men by adopting it as a preventative, will be free from Ague or Billious attacks in that season of the year which, while it is the most sickly, is the most vnluableone to them.
One or two bottles may answer for ordinary cases, some will require more. Directions printed in German, French and Spanish, accompany each bottle.
Price One Dollar. Liberal discounts made to the trade. Trade circulars forwarded on application, and the article will be consigned on liberal terms to responsible parties in every section bfthe country.
