ExtensttfiT of the Qreiifiht and Columbia Railroad A bill lias been introduced into the legislature, praying for the privilege of extending, the road to Aeheville, the most direct and I feasible route?either from Green I ville or Spartanburg, as may be I deemed most desirable.

[ complete order?new irron, etc. I As it is a measure which will, doubtless, redound to the bene of the State At large, the bill should meet with but little opposition. A Western connection, via Abbeville, is desirable, and the sooner it is made .the better.? With due deference the old Bine Ridge route, the new one can be put through, while the other is being talked over. By the wa}*, the Greenville Railroad Company have already contracted lor over 4,000 tons of new iron, and arrangements ore being completed.' by which a portion of the old r<?ad bed will be changed, and new and more desirable locations selected. The road, since it has been'in the hands of the present Company, has promptly paid all its obligations?for labor, material, etc?and has, we are reliably informed, paid otf many old obligations, besides paying the interest on all the bonded debt of the company, including the few sec una mortgage bonds ont?which, *V&ii.f lit ilfe present condition, was a bio to do lima much, any business man will leudily admit, that with the proposed improvements?the placing of the road in first-rate order?the company will be fully able to meet the Interest on the increased outlay.

Do not attempt to grub them up, as you separate the roots, and hence do not get the salt into the general circulation, which you will do by cutting them just below the surface. My plan is to arm every man with a grubbing liou and a bag of salt, and make liitn apply the salt to each plant as he cuts it off." Joel A. Burton, Mitcliel, Ind., wri es : 44 Say to J. A. M.

[American Agriculturut. Fai:mkk8, Keep Accounts.? Farmers who never keep accounts, and of course are nearly always in debt yearly, have enormous store bills to surprise them. They doubt the honesty of merchants, and families are berated for extravagance. Receipts and expenditures arc never uo'ed ; the profits and losses in any branch of farming are uu known. Unconsciously debts mul liply, lor it requires much less time and ability to disposo of money than to acquire it. AOcounts properly kept, would ad inontsli them when to spend and to clieok up. Carelessness in one particular is apt to foster and beget carelessness in otIters; consequently such fanners have little system in the building of residences, barns, or outhouses.?

During the lost session of the present Congress Massachusetts presented claims for interest due her from the government on mon? ey expended during tlie war ot 1812, which were passed upon favorably by both Houses, and we believe were finally paid. On Monday last. Mr, Wallace, of tlie Fourth District of this | State, presented like claims in be | half of South Carolina, and a ks the same Congress to extend its ti nancinl favors to ns as well as to our elder sister iu the North. It it was just that Massachu setts be j aid interest on hor advances, and we bvlieve it was, tor we listened to the entire dobuto on that questionit is equally just that South Carol ilia's claims of the satne na'iire be |>aid also.?

[Daily Union. ? ^ 4 Butter. -Every one has seen bntter, anil most perrons are fond of it; but it is doubtful whether many persons know bow butter is made. If you ask your mother, she perhaps would tell you that it is made by churning milk. If your curiosity w'j .'nilk is churned, ?nb might not be able to tell yon. Bntter is made from milt which everybody* knows is white. The reason milk is white is because it is composed mainly of j water and oil. These are mixed together and form whijt is called un etnulsi n. if you will put some water and oil in a vial and ehake it, the water and oil will look white, just like inilk. Milk is nearly all water. The oil that it contains is covered no in littlj sacks of a substance called casein. These being lighter than water, rise to the top, and are called cream. Churning breaks these sacks and permits the oil or butter us it is called to float on the top of the milk. Shuking milk turns it sour, because the sugar which is in it unites with the oxygen of the air and turns it to luetic acid. Bk a Man.?Foolish spending, is the father of poverty.
