" In the valley of Virginia, as we see by the J
newspapers, farms are now changing hands at ?60
per acre, which, from the intimate acquaintance '
we have with them, wc know arc not as desirable i !
as those which tan be bought here at the prices ^
we have stated above?say, ranging from ?5 to : |
?10 per acre.*. Let the owners of such lands who
are dewing to emigrate, reflect upon the facts wc
have stated, before they go to the wild swamp or
prairie. Let them rcmcmberthe toil, and the ex. ; (
penac, and the risks in regard to good water and i
to health, in settling on an entire!/ untried locali- ,
ly. And then let them calculate the profits they j
may certainly realize by selling one farm at ?50 J (
or ?60 per acre, and buying another at least as (
good, in many respects better, for ?8 or ?10..
" A farmer, ror instance, in the valley of Virgi- '
nh, works some 12 or 15 negroes on a farm of
400 acres. He sells his land at ?60, which yields
him $24,000. With this sum he c:m.s to our
neighborhood, and he finds that for one half of that
amount, ?12.000, he can purchase three times as
much land, already improved and a sufficiency
cleared; and in every respect at least as good as
the land.be left His negroes and a portion of
his stock he brings with.him. He finds himseK,
then, removed from a tract of 400 to a tract of
1200 acres, and with ?12,000 in cash besides.? 1
With one half of this money he can purchase all '
the stock and implements he may need, and make
?aeh additional improvements as may be required,
if indeed any be necessary, for the comfort of his
/ family.

I PANGEP.OIS PROPERTY OF WOOD ASHF.S KXrOSED,
AND SOME OF THEIR OTHER FP.OrER.TJE8 EXAMINED.
By Dr. John T. Plainer, of Richmond, Indiana.
From Silliman's Jour, of Science and Arts.
I have recently devoted some time to a further
examination into the properties of wood ashes, and
especially into that property by which heat is conveyed
from a small space on their 6urfaco deeply
into the interior of the largest masses. I consider
the subject of sufficient importance to claim the
attention of the general as well as the scientific
'eader; for I cannot forbear thinking, that at leasl
some of the mysterious conflagrations which arc
repeatedly occurring are chargeable to tbishithertc
unsuspected cause.
Judging by the remarks of Frof. Ilubbard, ac.
companying two eases of combustion in wood
ashes, reported by him in a late number of thif
journal,* it appears to be his opinion that the caloric
in question was generated within and near the
bottom of the heap, by a spontaneous but Unknown
process. I conceive that the following experiment!
render this opinion highly improbable, and the}
go to sustain the view taken by the present wri

months, this has been emphatically a region o
peace, of quiet, of sobriety and of order. Th<
outrages tliat many years ago disgraced our towni
and villages have almost utterly ceased. Indus
try has taken the place of idleness?economy, ol
extravagance. * Religion, in the various denominations,
flourishes; and even now, throughout this
and the adjoining counties, its votaries are increasing
by hundreds. In this county and Madison
alone, nearly 400 members have been taken in
during the last month or two?many of whom had
been considered confirmed infidels. The great
cause of education is nourished. Two colleges,
within 60 miles of this town, one at the southwest,
the other at the northeast, are in a flourishing con.
dition. Each of them has a Faculty well qualified
for their posts, and each of them numbers
more than 100 students, though one of them has not
yet been twelve months in operation. 'Academies,
too, both for young men and young lad^s, are
springing up in every direction?while elementary
sckooUi those institutions more immediately associated
with the interests and sympathies of the
great mass, are engaging very general attention,
with a view to improvements in their management.
Sunday schools, too, thrive well. In this town

" Now, we do not wish any one to select a homeitead
amongst us merely upen what we have said.
iVe think, however, that we have shown enough
o induce movers to the west and southwest to
itop a while in this section of the country for the
nirposc of examination. If we can only persuade
hein to examine the advantages offered by a locaion
in these parts, we shall have done enough?
or we feel assured that, after inspection, it will be
bund that ' the half had not been told.'
" In conclusion, wc would say that strangers to
his latitude may find ah infallible guide, in re.
rard to the qualities of our soils, by reference to
he growths of timber, a* given by us at considertble

DO EEES GROW OLD AND LAZY ?
The Editor of the Massachusetts Ploughman
ij*, 41 Bees die with did age : they are unfit for .
crviec after a few years-, and we may with as much
roprictj- keep an ox as long as he will live, for i
fie good he has done, as an old swarm of bees,
ftcr they are unable to procure more honey than
; needful for their own consumption." Now this I
?ay be the case, or it may not be. Th?>rc is so
tuch wisdom uttered about bees, that we must
onfess we are bewildered with the very super- j
bundancc of it. It must be true, however, that j
he beis which do not die icill groic old." It must j
e also true, that bees, when they arc old, cannot 1
ibor as mufch as they could when young and vigorous
; if they can, they arc an exception to all
ther living things in nature.. But how old they
nust be before they 44 retire to private life" and
ease their labors, is more than wc ever could tell.
>Ve will give a fact respecting a swarm which we
lave had for the last five years. Five years ago
his fall, wc purchased one of Beard's Bee Houses,
vith two compartments and a swarm in each
:ompartment?the interior hives and the surround,
ng boxes were full of honey, and, if we were righty
informed, the swarms were put in some time in
func previous. - ' .
Just before cold weather, the two swarms had
4 a duff," or what appeared to us a quarrel,?durng
the turmoil, and while the whole host of bees
vcrc flying about the house as if they were about
r.canning, a sudden change of weather took place
ind a cold gust or blow of wind came", and they
ill settled down into one of the liivcs, where they,
lave lived peaceably ever since.
In the winter we took out the hive at the other
?nd of the house, and there'has been none in since.
Phev have never swarmed.. Every fall, until .this,
sve have, taken out on an average 25 lb. of the
?* i i ' ;?
f tcr, so far as its respects the origin of the caloric,
; and perhaps measurably as its regards ihe means
? by which the heat is diffused throughout the ashes.
. They show that the heat-retaining power is not
f peculiar to the ashes, but is common to various
. pulverulent substances; that this residue of com.
i; bustion contains an appreciable Quantity of char.
. coal in a state of minute division; and, as former,
i ly stated, that it is unsafe to deposit hot ashes
upon, perhaps, the largest heaps of cold ashes. I
shall marshall these experiments under the head
of
Ignitibility of xcood, ashes.?1. A pint of sifted
ashes was made into a conical heap four inches ,
high, upon a folded newspaper, and a coal lighted
at one corner only, was laid upon the summit and ^
very slightly covered. In seventeen minutes ,
the coal was examined and found to be wholly ignited.
It was again-, covered and in eleven mi- ,
' 1
nutcs afterward, that part of the paper on which
j the ashes rested became quite warm, and also the j
board beneath it. Oh sliding the paper nearly off (
the board, and gently bending it convexly upwards, ,
I I succeeded in producing a fissure, extending
from the apex of the cone downward to a consid.
erable depth. By this means I was enabled to sec
the interior of my diminutive volcano, and to discover
that the ashes within were red hot, if not
incandescent, as far down as the fissure extended.
After this peep, I closed up the crater by sliding
the paper back upon the board, and waited an hour
! from the beginning of* the experiment. At the
| expiration of this period, the coal was not wholly
consumed, and the asheB were 6till quite warm.
The coal used in the foregoing instance was of
sugar-tree wood, and at the time it was placed
upon the ashc6, two other coals, one of sugar-tree
and the other of beech, were thoroughly ignited
and laid upon a board. In two minutes the " fire
went out" of both these coals.
2. A wooden pill-box of the largest size was
filled with sifted ashes, and an oak coal weighing
Bivcn grains was barclv buried in them. In thirty-fivc
minute's the box was very warm all over'; I
and at this time I surrounded it with cold ashes.
In twenty minutes more, the ashes within and
immediately around the box were uncomfortably
hot. v
3. I renewed the second experiment, with the
exception of not wholly covering the box. The
edge was left exposed, to ascertain whether it ^
would not act as a vent to the accumulating ca-'
loric. In half an hour I examined the coal, and B
found it extinct and the ashes cold. The coal in
I this cr.6o was of beech.
[ 4. Tins beech coal lighted at one corner, was a
placed on a cone of sifted ashes, as in the first ex. fi
perimcnt, and in twenty minutes it was thoroughly b
ignited. I now pressed a cylinder of pasteboard a
perpendicularly into the ashes, so as to include the
coal and most of the heated ashes. I did not
examine the coal for an hour; it was at that time *
not consumed but dead, and the ashes were entirely 1
cold. b
j 5. I bu'.lt a cone of a quart of pale ashes and 1
deposited eight or ten dead coals some distance N
opart, near the base and remote frOm the surface; r
at the apex I buried a live coal as before." In three ^
quarters of an hour, stiff paper or a splinter of
wood thrust into the centre of the heap took fire; a
and on demolishing the pile, I found that the heat ^
had descended to the coals below, and ignited 1
them; indeed they were partiallj- consumed, and k
the whole interior of the base of the cone was ex- l'
trcmely hot. - a
6. A wooden box, ten inches deep and eleven J
inches square, was filled with unsifted ashes as c
cold as'an exposure of several weeks in winter
could make them. A pint of red hot ashes was
thrown, upon the middle of the surface and left ?
uncovered. In eight hours all the central portion *
of the ashes was hot enough to fire wood thrust f
' . ..
'- * ?.
into it, anil two Bides of the box were inca'csccnt. (
In twenty-three hours, the bottom of tho box was
quite warm, the top of the ashes cool, and thesides
of the box were becoming cool. A stick plunged
to, the bottom of the ashes, was drawn out ignited
or burnt at the end, but not even chirred above it.
i In thirty hours the bottom of -the box was almost
I unsupportably hot; and the upper half of the
{ ashes retained but little heat. In thirty-six hours,
.the temperature of the ashes being much reduced,
I emptied the box, and found the bottom of it on
the inside near the middle converted ) coal, one
of the sides considerably charred, and another
browned by the heat. Coals were found in differ,
cnt parts of the ashes, but I bcliovc they were con.
fined to those portions through which the hcat.did
not travel.
?
j The ashes used iu the foregoing and the subsequent
experiments, were derived from the mixed
j combustion of hickory, beech, sugar-tree, oak,
{ and a few other kinds of wood; and the sieve employed
consisted of twcnty.four by thirty-two inter,
sticcs to the square inch. I
To what cause could I attribute the augmenta- <
tion of heat and its downward course, wnicn me <
preceding instances exhibit? The plausible ah <
swer was, carbon. There, said tiic spirit of con- <
jeeture, was the fire, burning its way into the i
ashes, and leaving successive portions of them to
cool after it had consumed the combustible matter i
out of them; travelling downward, like the Goth's
descent upon Rome, into regions where its fierceness
could be fed. There, too, was the gray color
of the ashes, produced, said conjecture, by the ad.
mixture of fine carbonaceous particles with the
! pure white cineritious matter. To prove that the
; | proper color 01 wood ashes is white, there lay the
, i beautiful specimen with gossamer lightness- upon
. the hearth, the residue of tho undisturbed cornbus.
, tion of a solitary ember; showing the delicate
j fibrous structure .of the original wood ; with open
., avciucs on every side, and a' thousand apertures
I! within for the free admission of atmospheric oxy,
I gen to every atbm of carbon ; the carbon tlfhs affi
mce J to oxygen had escaped into the air; leaving
; its white m. n ?on unshaded by its presence. And
, how could I better account for the various shade*
, of gray which ashes present, than by supposing
r tlicm to arise from the various proportions of the
black powder intermixed t And then, there were
tho uniform results of repeated trials by fire, in
which iwniething craped out of the contents of the
~W
crucible; and what could this be but carbon? j
Such was the language of imagination before ex* I
periment had fully uttered its voice. To strengthen
these conclusions, I applied myself to other evidences
; but these, to my disappointment, instead
of supporting, kicked against my imaginings.
7. Selecting magnesia as an article possessing j
physical properties somewhat similar to those of
ashes,. I erected a cone of this material, and at the
summit buried ? partially ignited coal. In a few
minutes I was surprised to find the whole coal was
allte with fire. Shortly afterwards the magnesia
beneath the coal became icrnitpd and the hnlt/im
of the heap almost intolerably .hot. jj
8.-Guided by the specific gravity and the com. .
prewbility of the substances employed, I repeated
the experiment with pulverized chalk instead of
magnesia. The chalk soon became red hot, be- n
neath the coal; and the base of the heap -heatedbeyond
endurance. p
Thus discovering that these alkaline earths py.
scsscd the same heat-preeerving properties as ashes, t
and that the same downward, centralizing ten den- n
cy of caloric was shown in all, I was led to the ?
conclusion that the heat eliminated and diffused p
in the sifted ashes was ths result of the combus- p
lion of the single coal buried in them; and con- u
lidering their low conducting and radiating power, j(
t appeared probable that the amount of heat ap.
jarent was not very far from the absolute quantity
generated during the combustion. In every in- V.
itance, while the central parts of the cones were f1
cd hot, the exterior of the ashes, except at the 11
ipex, was cold throughout the experiment. The 11
raloric is evolved faster than it is diffused, and of b:
course it accumulates within a small sphere near b
he coal to an igniting temperature; combustible 84
natter lying at the circumference of this sphere \v
vould ignite and generate another ball of fire, and pi
his produce another, and so on indefinitely, or w
vhile the last ignited spheres reached new com. ^
lustible matter. In.this manner I conceive the
aloric travelled in the fifth and sixth experiments, ^
,nd I see no reason why it should not under simiar
circumstances circulate through a bed of ashes
pread over the whole earth. V'
. ll
Satisfying myself, in this manner that the pre- ^
encc of pulverulent charcoal was not essential to ^
he phenomenon in question, I submitted other
?wdere to similar trials. ' I"
9. Fine sand, scorified wood ashes, anhydrous P1
ulphate of lime, common earth, all thoroughly
Iried, and the earth and sulphate reduced to subtle T
?wders, were severally made the tenements of it
fully ignited coal; but in spite of all the persua- tl
ion I could command, the coal refused to be fli
uried alive in such sepulehres as these; almost
s soon as it was decently interred, it expired. ^

Washing Woollens.?If Icy be put fa the w*. cr
in which woollens are washed, it will prevent ^
heir fulling up. Articles that have been injured
iy bad washing may be rendered much softer and
nore elastic, by mixing ley with the water in "
vhich they arc washed. A quart of ley, of com- P
non strength, is about the right proportion for a
ailful of rain water.
Mildew.?If linen is badly mildewed, walhr 0
nd rinse it thoroughly, ru5 soft soap into the'mil- P
lewed parts, and then rub powdered"chalk over a
he soap. Let it la" in the sun, on" the grass, N
keeping it moist with a watering-pot. Every two g
lays wash and rinse it, to prevent its mildewing p
