There is no doubt now by our most in telligent horticulturists about the practical advantages to be gained by mulching the surface of the orchard and fruit garden. This should lie more generally practiced in Iruit-produeing districts, for it is the least expensive and most effective method of protecting the fruit trees against the bad results often following the frequent and sudden changes of temperature during the summer and fall months when the .surface of the ground is left exposed to the direct rays of the sun. Again, when the mulch is put two or three inches in thickness, the surface soil is constantly moist and loose, even when no rain lal.s fora term of sev eral weeks, and the trees or fruit receive no check for want of moisture and food under such circumstances. My method is to cultivate the spaces bc tween the rows of trees in the orchard. Using a small one-horse plough and euliva tor, running not mine than two inches deep during the early part ot the season. From the lirst of July I have put on a heavy coating of salt hay, covering the surface as far as the branches extend. Af ter this there is no more trouble with weeds and grass, t here may be a few scattered ones start up, but they are easily de stroyed. Kvory fruit-grower knows that two or three weeks before the time of gathering the main crop of lruit, line specimens are constantly falling off, or blowing off by strong winds. When the ground i- mulch ed the majority of species are not bruised or injured for sale. This saving alone, I consider, pays me for the trouble of mulching the orchard. There is only one serious drawback to the application of mulch; that is, the dan ger of the hay or straw getting on tire when rendered dry by continual warm weather.—A’. 1*. Tribune. ICE CELLARS. A correspondent of the Rural World recommends the following plan to those wishing to build a permanent ice-house. It would not be adapted to level land where drainage Is difficult: For ordinary farm purposes, make an excavation ten by four teen feet, twelve teet deep; dig a trench and lay tile or some other material in the bottom to prevent any water from stand ing, which will melt ice very fast. Wall up all around eight feet; then put on your centre, and turn a good arch over the en tire length. The arch ought to be of brick nine inches thick and four feet elevation, or of stone twelve inches thick. I*ut the door at one end perpendicular; also a trap-door, as in out-door cellars; run a tlue about four teet from each end to drive off the heat and gas. Cover the arch with earth to the depth of three feet, and sod over and plant a clump of trees to prevent the >un Irom shining on the mound, and you have a house or cellar that will last in age, and give good satisfaction. The perpendicular door two by four and a half j feet is large uougli for convenience. SAVING SEED (OKX. The Western Rural, through a corres pondent, talks in this common-sense way about saving in the fall what is so needful in the spring—good seed corn. “I have a few words to say on tins sub ject to stir up the minds of tanners by way of remembrance. Some say we will seleet our seeil corn at the time of hu-k ing. 1 guess it will get ripe and dry all before trust this year. Others think they can select good seed from the crib in the spring. Well, perhaps they may, but 1 think it is not a -ah- way. My plan is this: (to into the lield with basket and wheelbarrow, select of those ears that be gin to ripen earliest, husk, h aving on two or three husks to trace it up liy. Then braid ten or twel\ e ears together and bang them across a pole in a dry place. Hy the time frost comes, h will be cured and no mistake. You will have good, sound seed. Try it, if you have net done so. 1 think one acre planted with good, sound seed, is worth two acres with half-frozen, weakly stuff. FEEDING POILTRV. The luibit of giv ing min i! food in a short -pace of time to poultry is a very bad one. If you notice their habits yon will perceive that the prove of picking lip their food under ordinary, or what we may call the natural condition, is a very slow one. drain liy grain does the meal get taken, and with the aggregate no small amount of sand, small pebbles and the like, all of which, passing into the crop, assists diges tion greatly. Unt in the “hcnwifeV’ mode of feeding poultry, a great heap is thrown down and the birds are allowed to “peg away” at such a rate that tiieircropis tilled too rapidly, and the process of assimula tion is slow, painful and incomplete. No wonder that so many eases of choked craw are met with under this treatment. Many other diseases which a fleet chickens might be obviated by amateur breeders were a little precaution taken in so sim ple a tiling as feeding. Regularity in tending is also essential. 1VEEDS. The Northwestern Farmer talks of weeds in this wise "Many varieties of weeds w ill send their seeds out over a wide area of land hence, if one field or farm is to he kept clean, all in that neighborhood must. One care less, thriftless farmer may render the ef forts of the entire neighborhood to keep their fields clean abortive, lie can readi ly grow weed-seed enough to supply all Ids neighbors and not miss it. Such a farmer i* a public nuisance, and it public opinion is not strongenough to reform hint, lie ought to be abated by law. No man has any moral right, nor should he possess the legal right to thus injure his neighbors. If he will not keep bis grounds clean, on proper complaint, the authorities should l send a force into his field that should clean 1 it up thoroughly at Ida expense.” STEAMING FOOD. A great advantage arising from steam ing ail the food for stock in which there are liable to lie seeds of any description, is that the vitality of such seeds is des troyed, and the ninnure is freed from all noxious weed seeds—a matter of much greater importance than it is considered by eulturists generally. The chaff of our grain crops, which contains most of the toul seed gathered with the crops, should be steamed to destroy the vitality of the seed, ere it goes into the manure heap, it not steamed before it is returned to the land, it would iie better to burn it, rather than take such an amount of foul seeds back on the land. GROOMING HORSES. The grooming should be done in the gentlest possible manner, particularly on nervous horses. With the brush in one hand and the curry-comb in the other, to remove the dirt from the brush, go over gently but thoroughly, every part of the horse, (let the dirt all out of the hair, ami off the skin. After the brushing is done, take cloths and rub the horse thoroughly, getting up a friction that will set the pores to work. It will make the hair glossy. Old salt sacks are the best rubbers that can be used. A supply of these should always be kept on hand, clean and dry. The feet should then be washed out and dried. SAVE THE SWAMP MICK. We have from time to time dwelt upon the importance of saving a good supply of swamp muck. The present season is fa vorable to a remarkable degree for labor in the swamps, and a generous supply of this valuable material should be secured. As a material for composting with barn and night manure it is most valuable. When thoroughly dried it is a grand ab sorbant, and if thrown behind the cattle stalls will take up its weight in the most valuable of fertilizers. If spread liberally over the barnyard, it also absorbs and mixes with the animals’ droppings and urine, and altogether affords one of the most valuable tertilizer reservoirs on the farm. It is of but little value when first hauled from the swamp, but if seasoned by the action of the sun and trost is ready for use iu a few months.—Mass, riough’m. BOSTON SCHOOL FOR DEAF MITES. Among the most interesting of our be nevolent institutions are tiiuse which have for their object the education of deaf mutes. That of Hartford in Connecticut is the best known and has given a good education to thousands of these untortunates. This in stitution like all similar State institutions, teaches by sign language. This is un doubtedly tlie best method iorat least one nail oi mis class. Another method of teaching has come into use within a few years, by which the pupil learns to talk aud conveys and re ceives his knowledge in this way and not by signs. Probably no method ot teach ing any subject requires a higher order of talent nr greater tact than this. The Boston School for Deal Mutes was put in opera tion last November, under three teachers. During this period, they have had thirty three pupils. Six of them had learned linger language at other institutions. Four oil: of the whole number could articulate a lew words. Here are now thirty chil dren unable to hear a sound or articulate a word. How shall they be taught to talk It certainly looks like an impossibility; but results have been attained which are truly astonishing. For weeks the teachers could scarcely make any impression. As it may be of special interest to our readers we will describe some of the methods adopted. The teacher first puts before the child a tablet on which is written the letters of the alphabet. The teacher now puts her hand on her own throat and places her lips in a particular position, and then utters a sound. The child is re quested to do the same. They all know by the vibration when they make a noise. N’ow whatever sound the child utters it is required to repeat and the teacher repeats it and writes the letter expressing the sound nu the board, aud calls the attention ol the child to the sound on the tablet, and also to the position of the lips. Hero is now a starting point. The child does not know the name of a single letter. The easiest letters are found to be o, s, t, y and no (w). To pronounce the lip letters the hand is placed before the mouth to catch the vibration. The linger is pressed on the closed lips to pronounce m, and against one nostril tor n. The hand is placed on the jaw for c. lx, g, b, d, are the most dill'll ult letters, and sometimes require many months of untiring perseverance on the part of both teacher and pupil to se cure. It will be borne in mind that thus far they only acquire the power of the letters'but not their names. After a few sounds are secured they begin to pronounce words. Come and go are among the first words they pronounce. They learn to pronounce, read, write and converse all at the same time. The most marked instance of improvement is that of a boy nine years old. When he entered the school he did not know his own name or that of his father or mother, nor could he utter a sound as the vehicle of a thought. In seven mouths he has learned to pronounce eighty words and can pronounce a dozen or more sentences. He writes them on the board and reads them from a book and recognizes them when spoken by others. This is quite as much as a majority of our children acquire who attend our common schools. All of them can repeat a greater or less number of words, aud thus exbibit, as a whole, actual progress. Their method of expressing their ideas are sometimes very amusing. The advantage of being able to converse with any one over that of em ploying the sign language, is very obvious. The State ot Maine expends alarge sum of money in educating her deaf mutes in Hartford by the sign method. One half of i these could be taught the word method, aud should be sent to this or a similar i school. We believe that a similar school might be established in our own State, where they could be educated at a less ex pense than now, provided buildings could be turnished tree of expense to the State, it is a subject worthy the consideration of our State Legislature.

The court finding no parties ready for trial yesterday morning, excused the juries and adjourned to Monday at eleven A. M. The city marshal yesterday seized about one hundred gallons of intoxicating liquors, most ly whiskey, from the store of Bartlett llartwcll. The mission sabbath Schools in the outskirts of the city are about to close for tiie season. In all of these there has been manifest throughout the summer a good d> gree of in terest, and undoubtedly much good lias been accomplished. At morning service to-morrow, the Rector of St. Mark's will make a general statement of the purpose and management of St. Mark's Home for Aged and Indigent Women, about to be opened in this city.

Mr. John I’erry, employed at tiie steam mill of the Kennebec Land and Lumber Com pany in this city, in lifting some heavy planks yesterday jammed one of the fingers of his right hand so shockingly that he was com pelled to have it amputated. His other fin gers and his hand were also jammed, but lie will be able to save them. We understand that Rev. S. P. Smith of Canton Theological School, formerly of this city, who lias been supplying the pulpit of the Universalist church at West Waterville tiie past season, has received and accept a call from that Society to become its pastor.

Our despatches ycstcid.tr morning indicated that the earthquake was wide-spread through out New England, and those of this morning will undoubtedly show that it extended to all parts of the country, and was felt perhaps ucioss the waters. In this city, besides the incidents mentioned in our account yesterday, we will say that on State street a large boarding house, recently erected, was observed to oscillate so freely as to cause alarm that it might tumble down. The inmates rushed into the streets. In an other part of the city the brick work of a fur nace in the ceiiar was cracked. The medi cine in a liquid form in tlic apothecary stores was “well sliuken before taken,” and some of tho bottles were broken. The shock was far more severe on the bill than on the lower streets. Buildings having a sandy foundation were more perceptibly shaken. In the locali ty where the shock was not felt, the houses rest on a belt of granite. Blessed are those who build their houses on a rock, for verily they shall not be shaken by earthquakes. In what direction did the earthquake travel is a question which has not been satisfactorily answered. The shock was felt in Gardiner from five to ten minutes before being felt here, widen would seem to show that it travelled from south to north, hut Profs. Brackett and Goodule of Bowdoin College, assert that its direction was from northeast to southwest. Without repeating the particulars given in our despatches, we notice some facts in regard to tho shock as experienced in other places. In Portland the large brick edifice known as North School, swayed us if it was going over. In one of the schools the teacher told her pupils to stop shaking her platform. Door bells rang, doors slammed, water was upset out of the kettles on the floor, cradles rocked, and in one house a lady who was silting on a sofa was deposited on the floor. The compositors and editors in the Press building felt the sway ing movement, and in a hook bindery in the third storv the shock was so perceptible that a pile of books was thrown down and one of the young women employed there fainted away. People standing on the wharves say that they could plainly seethe buildings sway, while in several of the counting rooms the merchants and clerks state that tlu-y heard the timbers crack and could not make out what was the matter. The shocks on Mun joy were quite severe; so much so that peo ple were frightened into the streets from their dwellings. On Dccring’s bridge the top of the chimney of the mill was toppled over. In several parts of the city the shock was not felt. The Argus says that the earthquake seemed to move from north to south. The Press says it went from northeast to south west. Iu Bangor there were about tbe same dem onstrations as here. The Whig says: “In many cases people rushed into the streets, evidently thinking the houses were coming down over their heads. The Supreme Judi cial court room was cleared of occupants in a hurry—the gentlemen of the law having no faith in the foundations of the court house. Nobody was hurt, however, though several persons had narrow escapes from bricks shaken off the top of a chimney in Patten's store on Main street. Persons were com pelled to go along the streets “close reefed.” One man had his whole set of upper teeth blown out of his mouth by the force of the wind. They were false however, and were recovered.” In Westbrook tbe shock was very sensibly felt, and produced more excitement than that of Oct. 2'J, lKiii). In one of the school houses the pupils rushed from their seats, hi ing affect ed, as was the teacher with nausea as if sea sick. A tin plater was seized w ith heart pal pitation, and with his IV How workmen ran from the shop, expecting to see the walls fall about them. The mail agent on the Portland Kennebec railroad informs the Portland Press that a small house in Bowdoinham was prostrated by the shock. At Winslow’s Pottery in Westbrook quite a quantity of ware was thrown down and broken, an el at the Kerosene Oil Works the shock w as sufficient to scare some of the men, causing them to rush out of tke works, fear ing they were going to fall. The damage on the P. O. IL 1L, was not so great as first reported. The bed of the road is sixty-live fci t high at that place (from the bottom of tbe pond.) One side of the road bed sloughed off, which it will take tw o days perhaps to repair. At any rate the reg ular trains w ill be running over it on Monday. The earthquake occurred in about fifteen min utes lrom that time, and soon after the slide occurred. The Lewiston Journal says that the shock was the most severe that ever visited that place. Its duration was from thirty seconds to a minute, and it was accompanied by a rumbling found, such as is created by a heavy team or train passing. The shock created a general sensation of mind as well as body. Iis direction seemed to be from northeast to south west. A few bricks were shaken from the liiil Mill, and other buildings. The opera tives in the mills were greatly alarmed. The sensation experienced lure were felt at Lew iston. In Auburn there was a good dial of com motion. People scampered from shoe shops, stores, and the1 children from school houses— as though the buildings were falling. In one school some children standing in the floor, screamed out with fright, thinking the floor was falling beneath them. They ran out of doors, and to use their language, “found nothing out there.” Persons on the (ourtli floor of Messrs. A Cushman und Co’s. Shoe Factory, say that the oscillation was exceed ingly powerful. The gas fixtures shook and the windows rattled—scores of men end women pushed down the stairway pcilmcll. At Win. Crafts Co’s. Shoo shop there was a similar retreat—the water in the leathern tanks being splashed about by the shock. At liichmnnd bells were rung and crockery rattled; in Poston, of course the shock was greater, and a block of granite in a building on State street was cracked, and another block forced from the wall three or four inch es; at Waldoboro the people were frightened, and furniture and other things were percep tibly moved. In Dexter the earthquake lasted nearly a minute. It caused buildings to rock like cradles, and created considerable “uneasi ness” among the natives. In Sniithiield, a gentleman informs us. barns shook from ridgepole to sill and cattle were frightened. In the stores goods were shaken from the shelves. Daniel Trail the treat American Traveler-Visit to Materville. W vti nvii.i.F., Oct. 20, is70. The world-renowned orator paid a v i-it to this quiet village yesterday: and in the eve ning delivered his most celebrated lecture on the “English Language,” before the combined Literary Societies of the University. lie said that Columbus first originated the English language by discovering America in 1020 since then it lias spread for the past two or three hundred years of our history. “There arc over 11000 languages in the world, and the origin of all language is woman.” Methu selah lived 990 years because he kept his equi librium with the self evident saving element, produced by hydrogen and oxygen, not dis tilled gin.” “You don't hear Fulton or Tilton give such points as that in the vocabulary elaboratory ot the world." To give an ex tend. d report of his lecture, with the vigor of thought and elegance of style with which it was delivered would he out of the question. Daniel Pratt (before the death of his father called Daniel Pratt, Jr.) has visited every college and many large cities in the United States and Canada, und spoken before ap plauding audiences for the past thirty years; has several times been nominated to (ill the Presidential chair, and expects to do so at some future day.

The Proprietor trusts that his Remedies, from the fact of being advertised, may not be classed as Pa tent Medicines. BUCHU, in one form or other, has been presented by even* educated Physician for more than TWO HUNDRED YEARS. II. T. HELM BOLD claims a superior mode of extracting its virtues. The experiment* were made while engaged in the DRUG business in the city of Philadelphia, nineteen years ago, prompted by the alarming increase of diseases of the Bladder, Kid-1 neys, Gravel and Urinary Organs, existi g in both sexes. These diseases were justly attracting as much attention as diseases of the Liver, or any other vital organs of the body. Upon the sound and healthy condition of these important organs, the healthy and harmonious action of the nervous sys tem and Liver, and consequently the happiness of the entire human family, depends. That Buchu should aet upon both Liver and Kidneys, to pre pare it so that it would retain it* strength and active principle, was his aim. It must not be made, ur housekeepers make tea, by boiling. It i* a delicate Leaf, and its active principle would be destroyed by such a process. Jl must be prepared in VACUO, and from the Long-leaf, iresh and carefully se lected. THE SUPERIORITY OF MY MODE OF PRE PARATION BEING ACKNOWLEDGED, I now ship even to the point (CAPE OF GOOD HOPE), where the leaves are gathered* large quantities of MY FLUID EXTRACT. IN FACT, THE ARTICLE STANDS PRE-EMI NENT. AND IS KNOWN IN ALE PARTS OF THE WORLD. The first and most important object was to oiler to the afflicted a remedy that w as perfectly safe, and could be taken by adults and children. Igno rant persons, who pay no attention to dose, direc tion, or advice, might reason, “That if a teaspoon till, taken occasionally, did good, two would do better, and perhaps a bottle would cure In a day.” Many have broken down their health by’dissipa tion, and on this principle; but they had been years in doing so. What I would have understood is, that no injury can arise from it* use. It i* as safe as any article of food; but patients must not expect any medicine to rebuild a wrecked or shuttered constitution in a few days. This truth is so self-evident that it would seem unnecessary to repeat it, were it not for the fact that thousands of persons who are intelligent in all other matters, seem to think unreasonably, that a cura tive agent must exhibit its specific effects immedi ately, w hen the fact i.-, that time is ollen an impor tant element in the progress of a safe and thorough cure, even when the medicine is working the best results. These same person# would expend HUN DREDS, yea, THOUSANDS of DOLLARS, in article# ol' LUXURY and DISSIPATION, and think less of it than they would of FIFTY DOLLARS in medicine to rebuild a BROKEN DOWN and WORN OUT CONSTITUTION. Notwithstanding the number of years I have been engaged in business, there may be those located at a distance that may not be aw are of all the facts, and would like to be satisfied on all the points. Having been educated a druggist, I a upend the fol lowing From tho Largest Manufac turing Chemist in the World, “I am acquainted with Mr. II. T. Ilclmbold; he occupied the Drug store opposite my residence, and was successful in conducting the business where others hail not been equally so before him. I have been favorably impressed with his charac ter and enterprise.” WILLIAM WK1GIITM AN, Firm of Powers A Weightman, Manufacturing Chemist*, Ninth and Brown .Streets, Philadel phia, Nov. 15, 1851. i propose to give evidence that this Remedy is not a patent medicine. The objection which gener ally lies against all discoveries and inventions in medicine is “publicity.” It somebody should dis cover a remedy to prolong life, or an Infallible cure for cholera or consumption, what a monster would he he to withhold his knowledge! We have yet to learn from what c hapter or verse in Scripture to quote, “that may not heal others of their fellow men uf any disease.” Nor have we asked Pickwicks, affected prudes, >r, iu short, men who are possessed of every kind )f sense but common sense, and all kinds of opin ions but their own. The Buchu is a good tiling. It ias hundreds of thousands of liviug witnesses to Attest its virtues and commend it. It is the preju lice of Ingots and the envy of “Quacks.” We offer the following evidence sF10 JOURNAL OF PHARMACY. gfiE REMARKS MADE BY DR.

Editor Cosmopolite:—! desire, as an unsolici ted tribute to the merit s of H elm hold’s Bi’GHr, and for the benefit of those similarly afflicted as myself, to say that after consulting many eminent physicians and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies1, m the vain hope of finding relief from aggravated kidney and bladder diseases, from which I have suffered excessively for many years, good fortune finally suggested to me 11 elm hold’s BUCHU, which 1 commenced using with little faith, and no apparent beneficial effects for about a month. At the expiration of that time, however, I thought 1 commenced to experience slight relief, w hich encouraged me to persevere in its use. and now at the expiration of tour months, although I am an infirm old man, nearly seventy-eight years of age, and consequently medicines cannot be ex pected to favorably affect me as they otherwise would, I have found such unspeakable rebel and permanent benefit from Mr. Helmbold’s valuable discovery, that I feel I ought to publicly record the fact, as an acknowledgment to him, and a valuable suggestion to the public.

Helmboi.d— I>kar Sir: In regard to the question asked me as to my opinion about Bu chu, I would say I have used and sold the article in various forms lor the past thirty years. I do not think there is any form or preparation of it I have not used, or know n io be used, in the various diseases where such medical patent would be indicated. You are aware, as well as myself, that it has been extensively employed in the various diseases of the bladder aiid kidneys, and the reputation it has ac quired, in my judgment, is warranted by the tacts. I have seen and used, tis before stated, every form of Buchu—the powdered leaves, tincture fluid ex tract.—and 1 am not cognizant of any preparation of that plant at all equal to yours. Tw elve years’ experience ought, I think, to give me the right to judge of its merits, and, w ithout prejudice or par tiality. 1 give you precedence over all others. 1 value your Buchu for its effect on patients. I have cured with it, and seen cured with it, more diseases of the bladder and kidneys than I have over seen cured with any other buchu or any other proprietary compound of w hatever name. Respectfully yours, Ac., GEO. H. KEYSER, M. I>., 110 Wood St., Pittsburg, Pa. August 11, isttf. A Case of Twenty Years’ Standing. Philadelphia, Pa., June 2ft, iw>7. II. T. IIelmbold, Druggist—Dear .Sir: I have been a sufferer lor upward# ol" twenty years with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which liiue 1 have used various medicinal preparations and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, 1 consulted my family physicau in regard to using your Extract Buchu. 1 did this because 1 had used a1! kind# of adver tised remedies and bad found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact, 1 despaired of ever fjetting well, and determined to use no remedies lerealter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your reinedv. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination and within# ad vice, alter an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist, I concluded to try it. 1 commenced to use it about eight months ago, at which time I was conllned to my room. From the first bottle 1 was astonished at the ben eficial effect, and after using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like writing to you a full statement of my case at the time, but thought my improvement might only he temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see it it would effect a perfect cure, know ing then it would be of greater value to you ami more satisfactory to me. 1 am now able to report that a cure is effected, after using the remedy for five months. 1 have not used any now for three months, and feel as well in all respects as I ever did. our Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a niee tonic, and invigorator of the system. I do not mean to he without it whenever occasion may require its use in such affections. M. MCCORMICK. Should any doubt Mr. McCormick’s statement he refers to tin* following gentlemen Hon. IVm.
