Jacob Straclian of Illinois, has a tcnfsrm of thousand acres, and has upon it, this year, 2,300 acres of corn, which will probably yield tiim 92.000 bushels. The corn fed to cattle is not huslrcd, but cut up, and given to them, stalks and ell. He owns another farm, six miles long and four broad. He paid, last year, $10, for fencing. Besides these garden spots, he has large tracts of unimproved lands.

Madame Meszlengi, the youngest of the three sisters of Kossuth, who came to this country in the spring of 1853, died at her residence in New York last Thursday morning. Her disease was consumption, the seeds of which were planted in her constitution by the harsh treatment and im- prisonment she received in her native country. She leaves two children, one eleven and the other thirteen years of age.

A new city has been projected on the Grand

RECIPROCITY WITH THE BRITISH P30- VINCES.

There can, we suppose he no doubt theta ‘convention has been ue istcd between the United States and Greet ritein, providing for the settlement of the Fishery question, an for Reciprocal Free Trade in certain articles be- tween this oouutr and the British Provinces. Although no ublic oficial announcement has

u made 0 this fact, it has been reported with somuch coufidencs and rticulerit , as to leave no doubt of its essentia truth. T e Con- vention, of course, awaits the confirmation of the Senate of the United States, in reference to which reports have been put in circulation upon which we think it is not worth while, in the present state of our information, to com- ment. It is also stated that the convention is to be submitted to the provincial vernments for their app:-oval or rejection. e sup feature of errangment has been objected to. b mine of our contem ratios, as derogatory to

e United States, w o ought, it is said, to know no party to the compact but the imperial government of Great Britain.

It seems, however, to us, that such a com- plaint is unreasonable. We do not IIIBIIQOSO that either in form or substance the uitcd States enter into us cietion with any govern- ment but that of rent Britain. But if the British crown, hevin of late years granted to the colonieae large a re of self government, think fit to enter into an agreement with the United States, on the condition that its provi- sions are approved by the Legislatures of the colonies hav n the main interest in those pro- visions, there is, we conceive, nothing deroga- torly to us in such a course.

t must, however, be admitted that it greatly increases the risk of the miscerrie of the measure. It makes its success de ii upon the state of parties in the colonies and the colonial assemblies. Most of the difliculties which have attended the settlement of the question of the fisheries have resulted in this course. arr views of local interest,—-stru lee for ascen- deucy on the pert_‘of individus s and parties- unkind feelings toward the United States, in- herited from the period of the revolutionary war, have hitherto been among causes, which have prevented the adjustment of this ‘important, and at times, alarming coutrovcrs .

The animals suflsrcd from the beat to such an extent that when they were driven from the cars. men of them died in a short time after they touched the ground, and in a few hours no less than seventy-five lay dead near the track.

In the cars of the Illinois Central Railroad about 225 of these animals died from heat and close stowage.

We seldom recommend a manufactured medi- cine, believing that, in most cases nature herself perfects a cure more rapidly and efiectuelly than can be accomplished by the vegetables and minerals of medical science. But in the matter of dyspepsia, there are chronic features about it, which, very often, defy all the efforts of nature to create a healthy action of the digestive organs, and it not uufreqnently happens that thousands sufi'sr for years, disease in y and in mind, from indigestion and its kindred ills. To such, l~loofland's German Bitten, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson. are truly a most valuable rc- parstion. It is a tonic medicine, giving a healthy action to the stomach, and will be found high! serviceable at all seasons but especially during the spring, Dyspepsia can only be cured by a patient

reeverance in one course of treatment ; and to all those suffering under this sad malady we would recommend an application to the depot of Hof- lands German Bitters, 190 Arch street, Phila- ds|phis.—Phs'ludeIphc'a Inquirer

Mr. Miller was born at Cromerty, in Scotland, of humble but respecmble parents, who endea- voured to give him the best education in their power. His progress ,however ,et the parish school was by no means flattering either to himself or his teachers, although there was neither want of attention or ability on the part of the latter, but oung Miller, whose pro nsities for ac- quiri olo ical information very early de- velops t emse ves, “ was at that period much more busy in the fields and on the see shore, in collecting these stores of linowled which he was born to dispense among his fe low men, than in attending to the instructions which was sou htto be imparted to him within the cor wal s of a school room. “ lie escaped, ow- ever,—seys r.

It was in the pursuit of this occupa- tion, which was a wandering one, that i\Ir. Miller acquired the practical acquaintance with his geological knowledge. and collected many of those specimens of fossil organic remains, of which he afterwards made so good a use.
