From the Chicago Pre$ we get particulars relative to the destruction by a tornado of the village of Ellison in Illinois. This village lying five miles south of the Chicago ami Burlington, Railroad, is in Warren county, and about fifteen miles from the Mississippi. Fourteen persons were killed almost instantly, one less than was stated by telegraph , and ten niore it was supposed were mortally wounded. 7 Of these latter, two died next day, three on Monday -evening, making nineteen in all. Amoog the dead are a Mr4 John Iland, bis - son, about ten years of age, and a babe, the lat ter of wham is supposed to have been drowned. The whole family appear to have been whirled with the fragvieota of their dwelling quite op into the ai -svad deposited a considerable die tance from where the house stood near a slough. -- lift Hand was carried about fifteen rods, and in J TxiM terrible flight receiyed a frightful woond iu . his side frooa timber. He survived till the ! next morning. Mrs. Hand had her infant in her axtns when she alruck ; the ground, but the coo asioa: compelled her to let go her hold upon and it was "tossed, some distance Into the - loogb, wberw shw heard its cry, but owing to ' ber severe injuries, was unable to attempt' its 3iwaco. There sb remained all night, her per- - son partly in the water, and in the coarse of its dreary watches the dead body of her infant was drifted to the shore, and she had it in ber arms when discovered ia the morning. . 5 Another amilj .named ile Williams . suffered terribly: lUi IIatj' Da'cilUi, 'Jboat twenty two; her sUter Oarriet, : aged about six teen, and Let hrotaer, ;Tbdaias about fourteen, are among the deiJ, Tand the , poor old mother, eighty years of the 'onlf-' re'matning'mem-,,; ter bf tho' family,'" x!ceDtBomL 'older "children Vtb Uring at - -Hdistaric--was vttj badly jDjareJ.'

D- B m m m t-tr: B m m I oa after the catastrophe, but he was so badly In jured internally that he died the next morning. W. E. Thompson his wife and child, Mrs. Brazleton and ber two children, a son and daughter, Martin Wentworth, Levina Lacey, Hiram Johnson and child, and two other persons whose names were unknown to the informant, made up the list of the fourteen instantly killed, comprised in a special dispatch to i s from Monmouth last evening. These embrace all the names of the dead which - we have been able to j o'ltain. . " Ai near as can be ascertained in the confusion which prevailed, about fifty persons were : very seriously ar.d many more elightly injared. Among tlie injured was Mr. Samuel Johnson, who has one lea and three rib3 broken. . . Mrs. Ormand, both arms broken, Mrs. Shr wood cut" aud" bruised badly, a splinter driveti through her thigh. Miss Fiulay, Mrs. Thomp-son, and Patrick Shaw, a 6tranger, who. was picked up in the road after the storm was over, were all badly injured. The only physicians of the place were Drs. Hawley and Yoko. The former was, with his wife, among the more seriously injured, and the latter, D-. Y., was bally hurt. ... Both were thos incapacitated Irom rendering any assistance to their unfortunate fellow citizens, and, as .the nearest point available, medical aid was only procured from Moumouth after the delays noted elsewhere. . : - ' . ; As soon as the first shock of the calamity had passed, and its extent began to be realized, a special messenger Mr. Me Wiliiams, a brother of the young lady and the boy who were killed was" dispatched to Monmouth for assistance, where he arrived about 4 o'clock on Monday morning. The s .d news spread rapidly, and the whole town -was soon astir. Drs. Hamilton, Qversteel, McDill and Young, at once volunteered their services, aud by six o'clock tliey, ac com panted by six team3 and about fifty men on horseback, preceeded to the scene of disaster, which they reached about ten A. M. The wounded, meantime, had been conveyed to the-neighboring, farm-houses,, by the uninjured, and there the physicians hastened to .minister to their re lief. " : . ! . :; ;.- The village was a farming community, and one of the older settlements of that section. The larger share of the structures, some sixty or seventy in number, that constituted the vil lage were ranged on" a single straight street, running in a direction almost- east and west, being the main county road running to the Mississij. pi and Burlington. Between the village and the stream was a belt of timber of oak and wal nut, consisting of large trees. This timber occupied the intermediate space of half a mile between the village and the stream, extending close to the vicinity of the village, The surface is level prairie thence extending to Monmouth, twelve miles, a dead level, and in a clear day the Ellison.timber can be seen skirting, the horizon from Monmouth.. In this belt of timber the first traces of the desolating tornado appear ed. Sunday was bhowery throughout the day As the afternoon waned the sky to the south-west hid a ipost threatening appearance. A heavy bank of clouds of inky blackness seemed to re3t upon" the very surface of the prairie; ''they seemed to sweep the very'prairie.' Mr. McWil lUmi ntjted the approach of the storm from his farm house, .a hunt a miltj north of the street, He saw two tlwetitoiiifiIy black clouds meet apparently about a mile we.-it.of the vilUe, with the wildest coin-uottou, and ' move ' on towards the. villao. The ut:nost alarm filld the minds o his own family, and of thoso in adjacent farm houses. . ' Th'j tornado srnck the village about half'. past five o'clock and'duritig h' ,continuance to rain fell. The h oases were frame structures. Toere wai a large tavern stand and three stores thone of Samuel Johnson,"" Joseph ICuowled and another. The appearance of tlje dwllins and structures after the passage of the whirlwiui is described by one eye-witness "as if ouo should tear to pieces and scatter a lumber yard. Of roofs and walls, and the various structures there was seen in many instances scarcely a trace, as if a giant's hand had reduced and torn them to shreds and splinters: They; lay scattered over the fields. Here a piece of broken -furniture and there a shattered door, and. beyond an un-distinguisliable mass of. timbers and boards? floor beams, ceiling and rafters. Even the bodies of some of the. sufferers were torn to pitces. As an evidence of the fearful force of the tornado, it is mentioned in the telegraph from ; our special reporter last evening that of the victims fragments of the bodies were scattered in all directionsT". An iron eafe weiebin nine hund red pounds was taken op from Johnson's Btbre and carried liirliJeet. Horses, cattle, and hogs were taken up by the wind, carried in the air and dashed to the earth, killed by the fall. One cow was taken up, carried several rods, and killed by the fall. Her body lay at a distance from anything that could have inflicted wound or in-jury upon hen A heavy cat fffone doorstep, the dimensions of which are given to as as being some seven feet long by three in width and several inches in thickness, was torn from its lite, and carried more than its length, or about iweive teeu ..... - -The first trace" of this Violence is noticeable in the Ellison timber. Th trees do sot seem to have been poslretfed. They were pafled op by the roots, twisted, turned about, sfmpfy, and in places noticed by our informant, it eeemed as if they 'bad jtneen torn ' op. groups,' as a child would wintonly tw'ut the top of adjacftot weeds and teaf them from the ground. Tree! afoot in diameter were thos made- the sport of the tornado, and were dashed, crushed and broken to the ground - V ' " " " -; ., ' , , - -The track of the whirlwfod seems iadt to have been rery wido, nor wa s its course a long one.

Oins in 6nural. A Self-Tormentor Aaron Barr tHe Dss- . trover of his own Daughter. We published, not long since, the reputed confession . of oue of the crew of routineers who murdered Mrs. Thcodosia Burr Alston, the only danghter of Aaron Burr, on ! her voyage from Charleston to New York, about, forty years since-. : The following statement from. the Carolina Spar , tan wraps the fate of this lady in still deeper gloom, and true or untrue, is an impressive lesson to those who would forsake the paths of rectitude. - . - But there Is another story, on which Partons Life of Burr throws no light. We had it from ah old and distinguished citizen of Charleston, now no more : Burr, in his many intrigues, compassed the ruin of the wife .of the. Captaiu of a coaster between New York and Charleston. To remove the Qa'ptai.n, Burr corrupted his sailors to mutiny and destroye'd him " On the outward voyage no opportunity offered, and the execution of the plan was deferred till the return trip." Unfortunately on this very vessel Mrs. Alston, took passage. Her fate was an a wful retribution upon her abandoned father. He never looked up after, and doubtless from the conviction that the sins of the father were visited npon the child. Our informant went to New York to look up the wife of this Captain. Hearing that Burr knew her, he sought an interview. The mention of the name was the signal for silence nor would Burr keep a further appointment or impart any information cm the topic. The mystery is clearing " ' Tragedy in Texas Seven Persons Murdered. . B Elton', Bell Co., Texas, May 18, 'j8. I have to record an awful tragedy that occurred in Brown county, in this Slate, last week. Two entire families, consisting of ten persons, were all murdered in cold blood, for money, with the ex .oeption of three children, the oldest a little girl eight years of age, and one infant, who was found sucking its mother's breast, 24 hours after she had been murdered. They were murdered by four men from Lampassas county, who professed to be out on a surveying expedition. They knew that those famiies had money, and they weut disguised as Indians, thinking that by murdering the- whole families, none but Indians would be suspected. The. little girl, however, recognised one of them, who had frequently been at her father's house. She made her escape into the field where her father was ploughing, where she found him murdered. She then went nobly to work with her little hands, and completely cover ed him up with dirt, to keep the buzzards off until she made her way to the nearest settlement, and gave the alarm.- The neighbors all then collected, and went in pursuit, and finally trailet them to their homes in Lampasai county, where they arrested them after a dosparate resistance by themselves and friends. The party were all men of property, and respectably connected. The party having them in charge passed through Coye.il county last Wednesday, on teir way with them to the place where the murders were committed, where I have no doubt they will lynch them. They were securely bound, and gnarded by about forty men. Cr. Richmond Despatch.! "Secret of Taming- Horses. A correspondent of the New York Express submits the foJowing method of horse taimin". For the oil of -Cummin the horse has an in stinctive pasttoh, and when the hore scents.the odor he is instinctively drawn towards it. Tl e oil of Rhodium possesses peculiar properties. Ail animals seem to cherish a fondness for it, and it exercises a kind of subduing influence over them. - To tame horses procure some horse castor and grate it fine ; also get some oil of Rhodium, and oil of-Cummin, and keep the three separate in air-light bottles. Rub a little oil of CummirJ, on your hands and approach the horse in the field, on the inward side, so that he can smell the Cummin. jjTbe horse will let you come up to him without any trouble. Immediately rub your hands gently on the horse's nose, getting a little of the oil on it. You can then lead him any. where. Give him a little castor on a piece of loaf sug'ar or apple. Put eight drops of oil of Rhodium into a lady's silver thimble ; take the thimble botween the thumb and middle finger of your right hand, with your fore finger stopping the month of the thimble, to prevent the oil from running out while yon are opening the horse's mouth. As soon as yon have opened it tip the thimble on his tongue, and lie is joat sertant.-He will follow you- like a pet dog. 'He "is now your servant and friend. Yon can teach bin? anything, if you are gentle and. kind to him. ; ' ' " Deputy Husband. . in tTtab; tbey have a wy of appolnJlng deputy husbands to look after matters and things when the genuine artiele has gone from borne; We" fiod the following notree of this sirgniar practice in one of our exchanges: .

' The Buffalo' Ccmmertial Adeeriiser thns exposes an error of the New york Tribune, that literature men had never been honored, politically, in the country. - It sayss ''..,-,'. , In our country Jiterary men have been highly honored, politically. Take a few instances that occur to our memory. Robert Walsh was made Consul at Paris; Cooper at Lyons; Irving, Minister to Spain; Paulding, Secretary of the Nary; Baucroft, Secretary of the Navy, and Minister to England; Everett, member of Congress, Gov ernor of Massachusetts, Minister to EngKhd, Secretary of State, and United States Senatorf A. II. Everett, Minister to China J. L. O'Sulli-Van, Minister to Portngal; J. P. Kennedy, member of Congress and Secretary of the Navy; Hawthorne, Consul at Liverpool, besides a host of Others who were indebtedto their literary reputation for the high political positions they at-" taiued. In no country of the world has literature been more honored by recognitions like these than in our own. . " Perpetual Motion. The editor of the London Builder thinks the following instances come as near perpetual motion as any one can" desire In the rotunda at Woolwich Barracks there is, he says, a clock moved by machinery, which has. been going for more than forty years. He further states that he knows a gentleman who had a watch in Lis possession for more than thirty years, hermetically sealed, which there is no means of wind ing, which tells the day of the week, the hours, minutes, seconds, months, and he believes years, and how far you walk in a day. It cost 500, aud was made by a Frenchman in Paris. It was left with Mr. Odham, of the Bank of Ire land, for six. weeks, and locked up in hi3 strong box, when the gentleman went into the country about 25 years ago, and the watch goes well, be believes, to this moment. Rabies' Jlcparimnit. The Valtw of a Good Wife In the true wife'the husband finds not affec tion only, but companionship a companionship with which no other can compare. The family relation gives retirement without solitude; and society without the rough intrusion of the world. It plants in the husband's dwelling a friend who can bear his silence without weariuess who can appreciate his repetition of events , only impor taut as they are embalmed in heart. Common friends are linked to ns by a slender thread. We must retain them by ministering,: some vay, to the interest of - their enjoyment." What a luxury it is for a man to feel, that in lis own home, there is a true and affectionate being, in whose presence he may throw off restraint, with' out danger to bis dignity, he may confide without the fear of treachery, and be sick or unfortunate without: being" abandoned. - If in the outward world, he grows weary of human selfishness, his heart can safely trust in one whose soul yearns for his happiness, and whose indulgence over looks his defects. Vrcshyterian. Preserving Flowers. - Our fair readers, alt of whom we know love flowers the season of which is now at hand-will be interested in the following manner ot pre Rerying them from wilting, which a cotemporary assures s is highly successful. -The plan is this Procure a flat porcelain dish, into wfeicb pour rain water ; place a rase of flowers upon - the plate, and over the vase a bell-glass with Lts rim in the water. The air that surrounds the flowers bei ng confirmed beneath the bell-glass, is con stantly moist with water, that rises into it in-the tormot vapor." As fast as the water becomes condensed it runs down the side of the bell glass into the dish ; an 1 if . means be taken to enclose tha water on the outside of the bell fflass. ao aa ------ -. 7 to prevent it evaporating into tae. sitting-room the atmosphere aroand tha flowers is continually damp. The plants designated as the "Hopean Apparatus."' The experiment may be tried on a small scale by inverting a tumbler over a rose bud in a sauces of water. ' The I. E. Mania.

The Great Object of Education. . Self-instruction is the one great object of rational education. In mind as well as body we are children at first, only that we may afterwards become men; dependent opon . others, in order that we may learn from them such lessons as may tend eventually to our edification on an in dependent basis of our own. The knowledge of facts, or what is generally called learning, how ever much we may possess of it, is useful so far Only as we erect its materials into a mental framework; but useless so long as we suffer it to lie in a heap, inert and without form. The instruction of others, compared with 8elfinstrnc- tion, is like the law compared with faith; a dis cipline of. preparation, beggarly elements, a schoolmaster to lead ns on to a state "bf greater worthiness, and there give np the charge of us. Bultcer. : Gifts. ; : . v;, - There is, after all, something in the fate of those trifles that friends bestow upon each other, which is an unfailing indication of the place the giver ho.ds in the affections. I would believe that one who preserved a lock of hair, a simple flower, or any trifle of my bestowing, loved me, though no show was made of it; while all the protestations in the world would not win my confidence in the sincerity of one who set no value on such Utile things. Trifles, they may be but it is in such that character and disposition are oftenest revealed. : ' Benefits Judged by the Intention. . There needs no greater subtlety to prove that both benefits and injures receive their value from the intention, when even brutes themselves are able to decide this question. Tread upon a dog by chance, or put hini to pain in the dress ing of a wound; the one he passes by as an ac cident; and the other, ia his fashions, be ac knowledges as a kindeas; but offer to strike at him, and though you do. him no hurt at all, he flies yet in the face of you, even for the mischief that you barely meant hm.fcneet. rarmer. Technical Terms. ' s' - CAEB02TATB OF LIME. A compound of. carbonic acid and lime. It is composed of twenty two parts of acid totwenty-eight parts of lime. Marble and common limestone are carbonate of lime. -CARBOXATE OP AMMONIA. A compound of carbonic acid and ammonia. Ammonia is composed of fourteen parts of ni trogen to three parts of hydrogen. - It is produced by the decay of alt animal and vegitable mat ter, and combines with carbonic acid in the air, forming carbonate of ammonia. This is a very volatile gas, and flies off rapidly in the air. SULPHATE OT AMMONIA. . A chemical compound of sulphurie acid end ammonia. This is very soluble in water, and is essential to the growth of plants. CABEOXIC ACIO. This is the gas which rises from foaming beer, cider or wine. It is also produced by burning limestone-that is carbonate of lime th fire liberates the carbon, which escapes in tfcs form of carbonic acid. It is heavier than common air, and settles into wells and other low places In . wells it is called damps, and if drawn into the lungs is destructive to life, but is wholesome when taken into the stomach', aS in soda Water. It is this acid that causes bread to rises, and it ts this which causes the little cells in good breaJ. It arises from all kinds of fermention. Ohio Farmer. " .

Cows, under certain constitutional circum' stances, are naturally disposed to convert their food into fat, so much so that there is great difficulty in keeping some classes ina breeding State, more especially improved Short Horns Devocs and Herfords. Torn a cow of this dr scription into rich grass, and she is soon useless for anything but the shambles,- The quality of the milk she gives may be fine, bat the quantity almost nothing. . We had a Devon, the property, of a noble Duke, which carried off the first prize of her class at one of the Royal Agricultural Society's meetings, not giving more thai) on quart at a milking, - On the other hand, there is a class of cows naturally inclined to turn all. their food into the pail. Turn a cow of this kind along with the . one above, and she will rather get poorer ever day, if the milk is taken from her, while bef plump and sleek rival is gaining weight. ThS former will consume greatly more grass and water than the latter, returning for it ia proportion a still greater quantity of milk, but inferiof . in quality. In two dairies, when fed on sour grains, distillers' wash, &c, the quantity some: times yielded is almost incredible. When such is the case, however, life is generally short, es; pecially if cows are in a low state atcalTing. Hence the reason wby dairymen purchase near1 calves. ' -- - . '. --. The above two classes may be called extremes) between which there is a mean, and this latter elass of- cows, if turned into a rich pasture along with the others, would keep themselves in good condition, and give a medium quantity of milk; the quality depending upon the richness of the" food. lilark Lane Express. s- Honor to the Farmer. The Carthaginians carried the art of farming to a higher degree than any cotemporary nation; Mago, the celebrated Carthaginian general, wrote" n9 less than twenty-eight works on agricultural subjects, which were translated into Latin by a' decree of the Roman Senate. Cato, who was a celebrated statesman, oratory and general of Rome, derived his greatest honor from a voldminons work he wrote on agriculture. Cincinnatus was found "at his plow, when called to the command of the Roman armies. . Elisha Was taken from the plow, when he was . pldwing with twelve yoke of oxen, when Elijah, cast his mantle tpon him, and constituted him a prophet. ' ' "Moses kept the flocks of Jethro, bi3father-in-law." . History, indeed, is a chronicle of erects that shows that farmers were the special favorites of Heaven. From them were selected Patriarchs and Prophets, Kings and Generals, that' ruled the world. David 'as more honored as a shep' herd than as a king, and it is recorded of Abram that be was rich in cattle, and that Sarah pre sented Esau 540 cattle as a peace offering. Let our farmers, then, look upon their calling ai most honorable, and by their intelligence sus tain the position they hold in society. A Good Thing Well Applied. Tho scientific discoverer and the scientific in ventor are distinct aud different character. It is rarely that he who discovers a great principle applies it successfully and thoroughly. Sometimes, however, this is the case. Professor Hoi' Ioway was among the first to broach the theory that disease was the result of the introduction of morbid matter into the circulation. But of itself" this theory", however true, was useless. It couid not subserve any beneficial purpose to point oat the locality of the bane unless the discoverer was provided with an antidote capable of reaching it. - Professor Holloway came up to the good work doubly armed. He had not only traced the symptoms of disease to their genuine causef but had, after long research and innumerable experiments, produced two remedies which would infallibly reach it. Time, which, tries all things has tested the value of those remedies.. .What has been the result? During' the twenty years they have been before the world, thousands of medicines hundreds of new systems of practice have been ushered into existence, enjoyed an ephemera) popularity, and passed into oblivion.-Not So ltMoway Pills and Ointment. They stand irstonthe liat of modern enratives. Their, reputation is fouadl rm a' rock the rock of truth and cannot ba shaken. : Scarcely -a year ago their inventor came to our shores unheralded. It is trSS that' large quantities of his medicines were consumed in the United States, and that his skill, his enterprise, his success, wer J often referred to by the American press, but personally he was unknown to us, and the great system of agencies With which he covered more than half tha habitable globe had not yet been extended to this country. He came hither for" the purpose of affording as new facilities for the . procurement of his preparations, and the conse queoce has been an increase of one hundred per" cent., in the demand for them within a feW months. It appears, from the "statement of alf who have taken the Pills for indigestion, that their effect in cases of dyspepsia is almost be-yound belief. As this complaint haa with ome" truth been called the national disease of Ameri ca, a specific that never fails to remove it is of" course invaluable. ' - - - The public, on both sides of the Atlantic, had been so often victimised by medical charlatan during the last fifty years, that it received, with something of distrust the first rumors of thee5-cacv of Holloway'a remedies. Bat every day furnished new proofs of tb fact, and at last s nek was the overwhelming, weight of evideBCein their favor, that it became more absurd to doubt than to believe. They grew in celebrity. anJ the demand for them, increased with a rapidity nn exacopled in the annals of medical science; nor . has their fame or that of their inventor yet attained its eliminating point. It never will reach that point, for culmination pre-euppdses cessation of progress; and so long as humanity i subject to pain, fever, debility, injuries and death, Holloway'a Pills and Ointment must continue to maintain their proud pfenufleaeev-A" T.KiU Pel.
