BUTTER. The following remarks upon the raanu facture and preservation ol Butter, wen written by the conductor some three o four years ago. With some slight altera tions, they are now submitted to the read crs of the Cultivator, as containg the mos essential rules to be observed in the man agement of this important household art Butter is one of the staple production of our State; and every hint that serve to improve its quality, must he useful.? There are various methods of makin butter, as from new milk, lobhered mill and cream ; and there is certainly a grea diversity in its quality. The cause of thi difference may partially be owing to th season, the feed and the breed of the cows but most is owing to management. On dairy women are very much like tliei good husbands, apt to be somewhat con ceiled, too wise to loai n, and generally be lieve their own mode the best, and neve suspecting that philosophy or science cai have any sort of connection with thi humble branch of household labor. A1 seem to be agreed, however, upon the fo! lowing points: 1. That cleanliness is the first rcqui site, for many and very obvious reasons. 2. That every sort of liquid should b separated from the batter?because il sue is suffered to remain, it soon become rancid, and taints the mass. 8. That the salt used to preserve i should be pure, because bad salt will no keep i: sweet?roek salt, and that produ Kir cn'r?r hr?:mr best. 4. That 110 more salt be used than i necessary to render the butler pulatablcall excess being injurious to the taste, an aa imposition upon the buyer. 5. That the vessel in which it is packe should bo incapable of imparting to it an bad flavor?wood abounding in pyroligni acid, & red earthen warebcing improperthe firstgiviuga bad taste, and the latter,b reason of the decomposition of the glazin* which contains lead, being in a measnr poisonous. 6. That when packed, the external ai should be wholly excluded from the bu' ter?because the air soon induces rancid ?y. Our dairy women have added two othc rules, which they deem all important to th preservation of good butter, but which am induced to think are but little know and less practised, viz * 7. That no water be suffered to com in contact with the butter in any stage c the process?because it tends to lessen th essential volatile matter which gives th butter its rich peculiar flavor. 8. To have the sJt incorporated wit the butter in the first operation of worl ing, and after an interval of twenty-loi ? -i i i. ji_ nours, to apply again me uuiier tame uu til the whole of the liquid is expelled, b this operation the salt is dissolved and e fcctuallv bleuded with the butter, whic is freed more effectually from buttermill And iLZ will add two other rules, viz:9. When the cream is employed, should be somewhat sour, though n( .stale, as in this state the butter more reac ily separates from the serous or cbces matter. 10. That the temperature of the crean when submitted to the churning proces should not be below 52, nor above 6 degrees?a lower temperature rendcrin the separation difficult, anJ a higher on essentially impairing the quality of th butter. A thermometer with a slidin guage, adapted to this and other househol purposes, will co*t $2 or $2 50. Th temperature may be regulated withoi bringing water in contact with the crean by setting the churn in a tub of watei either hot or cold, us may bo required t change tiie temperature of the cream. We sat down to write merely an intrc duction to two tables, which wo areubot to copy, and which indicate the tempera ture at which cream may be most advai: taseously wrought into butter. It may b said that these will serve but little pui pose, as a thermometer is seldom seen i a dairy house; yet it will show the impoi tancc of keeping one. Tbc Highland Society of < cotland u!

Windsor, to take into consideration the exio pediencv of estabiishing anew Theological e Seminary in Connecticut. This was a very ie interesting meeting. Two days were (r I spent in prayerful deliberation, during j j | which time, the great Head of the Church, j 1(} seemed to grant them special tokens of his j u presence. There appeared to be an unitj sual spirit of prayer. Nothing like a spir- j r' it of party was apparent in their delibera0' tions; but great spirituality and harmony ' of feeling pervaded the meeting. Sens;. b!e ot' the responsibility resting upon them, ]t they acted in the fear of God. 41 The great and all-absorbing inquiry was, what do the honor of God, and the intcress of .. i his kingdom demand? Thev were una::t 1 . O i lmous in their result, r'uuy satisfied that ; they had discovered the path of duty, they ' resolved to go forward in the strength of : the Lord."' Accordingly, they organized r ' themselves into a Pastoral Union, formed a A* constitution, and appointed a Board of <? * 7ri|.,;^"- ^hortlv after, the Truces pro. 't CCL':h'i h.

L ' ? *' ? casioned bv an attack made upon the Seminary in a Manifesto from tbo Theological Professors in Yale College.?I must give you sot: t account of this .Manifesto. The llev. Daniel Dow, a member of the Corporation of Yale College, having been appointed on a committee to attend the examination of the Theological School, and being called upon to make a report to the Corporation, at their annual meeting in September, 1 S31, took occasion to object to some of the doctrines taught in that School, and to suggest that the Professor ol Didactic Theology had taught and publislied sentiments inconsistent with the creed on which this Professorship was founded.? This led to some discussion in the Corporation, to a conference with the Professors, and to the Manifesto of which 1 have just spoken. j It may be proper here to state, that since 1722 until recently, all the officers of Yale College have been required to declare their assent to the Confessionof Faith contained in the Say brook Platform, which is almost entirely the same as that of the Wcstmin- j ster divines. But within a few years past, j the test-law of the College has been repeal-1 cd ; so that now, neither the President nor ! Professors are obliged to give their assent to any confession of faith, nor are the Corporation authorized to dismiss them from office on account of any religious opinions whatever This applies to the Theological no less than to the Academical Professors, with the exception of the Professor of Didactic Theology. But the repeal of the test-law could not affect this Professorship, because there were certain i if vvrw SlipUItlllOIlS Willi llIVy IVUUUU,U, ........ ( beyond the power ol the Corporation to re- j peal. The principal subscribers to the ; fund, made the following requisition: "Every Professor who shall receive the income or revenue of this fund, shall be examined as to his faith, and be required to make a written declaration thereof agreeably to the following, * I hereby declare my free assent to the Confession of Faith, and Ecclesiastical Discipline, agreed upon by the Churches of the State in 1708. (i. c. the Saybrook Platform.) If at any future period any person who fills the chair of this Professorship, holds or teaches doctrines contrary to those referred to, it shall be the duty of the Corporation of the College to } dismiss linn from omco iorinwuu;?uuu u they do not dismiss him, then we reserve to our heirs the risjht to demand the severa! sums which wo have paid, or may hereafter pay respectively." The Corpoia:iou after reciting the foregoing in a preamble, passed the following vote : ' This Board dotli accordingly found and estublish in this College, on said fund, a Professorship of Didactic Theology, on the terms, conditions, and limitations expresse 1 in said instrument signed by Timothy Dwight and others. It would seem from the foregoing statement, that the Professor of Didactic Theology is required to give his unqualified as-1 sent to the Confession of Faith contained j in the Saybrook Platform. It was so un-! derstood by .Mr. Dow when he made his 1 report to the Corporation. But the Profesfessors in their Manifesto, defend the prin- j * * ' 1 * * i r c.iple that a subscription to articles 01 lami, is made only for " substance of doc. trine. They admit that Dr. Taylor does hold and teach doctrines contrary to those contained in the Say brook Platform. They say moreover, that while Pfofessor elect, he "had certain knowledge from personal intercourse with the founders, that had he embraced every minute doctrine of I the Confession, it would have been considcred a decisive disqualification for the ! office." This is certainly a very exrraordi. nary declaration; and it naturally suggests several enquiries. What could be the object of the foun. ders. to require their Professor to give his unqualified assent to a creed, and then in. form him that if he did comply with their requisition fully and sincerely, they should consider him disqualified for the office? Was such a thing ever heard of before 0:1 the face of the globe? Wliv did thev not prescribe such a creed as they should be willing to have their Professor subscribe, ex animo, and without reservation ? Or if it was their intention that assent should be given to the creed on!v "for substance of C* . * doctrine," why did they not say so? And it Dr. Taylor intended to give his assent only "for substance of doctrine," why did he not say so? If he had informed the Corporation, that he could not give an unqualified assent to the creed, and if the Corporation had been authorized by the founders to accept, and had actually accepted of a qualified assent, the case would be (iitTerent. But it does not appear that the Corporation are authorized to accept of any [ but are unqualified assent; and so far its I appears, the assent given by Dr. Taylor ! was unqualified. And is the doctrine to be maintained and defended, that when persons give their assent to Confessions of Faith in the most solemn manner, and in | the most unqualified Vmguage, they are not to be understood as meaning what they I o * i affirm? Besides?"On what is this ProfessorshiD i I founded, and lor what cause are the Cor: poration required to dismiss the Professor I from office? The founders, so far as api pears from their statutes, make it the duty ; of the Corporation to dismiss the Professor I from office, if he holds or teaches doctrines I contrary to those contained in the Platform. Yet it is admitted that the present Professor does hold and teach doctrines contrary to j those above referred to. But it is con; tended, that lie is not liable on this account, , to impeachment, because lie had "certain : knowledge from personal intercouse with ; the founders", that it is their will that he ',? t ...vf ?;? >* !? i!*v*tre!C"? c "o'rr v*'? the Confession to which they have require I his free assent in the most unouulifie terms. What then is the creed by whic this Profeasor is bound? Is it the Saybroc Pla'Drm, "for substance of doctrine?"But this not mentioned by the founder And if we may suppose it to have bee so understood, how is it to be ascertains what is implied in subscription to aerec "for substance of docjrine?" How muc may oc rejected, and still the substance I retained ? Who shall draw the line, an and vherc shall the line bo drawn. But 1 have still another question in re!; tion to tiiis subject. Can a person be trul said to receive a Confession of Faith " fc substance of doctrine," whe? in his vie that confession contains the most destrue ivo errors? According to Dr. Taylor, tf: Say brook Platform contains principle which lead by legitimate consequence I "the verv worst of heresies"?"i universal1s3i, to inf1delitv a?*d to ath1 MrUt/Ui invnlrp flip nn< id.u, ?-Ul Ui^ll'iVO II IIIVII IIIIVIII' tions Willis a good thing"?"good in i self?Ac. * * * * In this Manifesto, as I liavc already r< marked, the Professors take notice of tl establishment of the Seminary at Ea Windsor, and endeavor to make the in pression that the founders and friends < the new institution are laboring under ad< lusion in supposing that any important e rors are taught in the New Haven School and tiiat under the influence of this deli sion, they have gone forward to establis a Seminary which is not called for, ar ought not to b patronized by tl christian public. This attack called fori the Appeal of the Trustees, which I ha\ already mentioned. To this Appeal, tl Professors repliod in a manner, and with spirit, which did them little credit. Abo; the same time the Rev. -Mr. Dow publisbc a pamphlet, the object of which, is to sho l?, .lnk Vnit. fTn,*r>n TlivInitV. It ttliai 13 tuu 1 1UIV11 ^ . , ...... . made up of extracts from the writings < the New Haven divines, together with son short comments, suited to show the nutui and tendency of their doctrines.

S. js Visiter. j en he 33ipobt.\nt '.xve.xt.'On. j Philosophers have long known the power nc of tlie magnet, and many have been their en attempts to apply tit power to the propuln? sion of machinery, but heretofore all these he attempts have been vain and fruitless. The a great difficulty has been that when attached ' is to the poles of the magnet, the needle or Jut iron became stationary; to neutralize the at! It j tractive power, ?r to cut it oil* at the point yet! of maximum attraction, has been often at* j hat i tempted, but in vain, and the turning this 'ell i power to any useful purpose in mechanics ry had cJme be considered al *;* as blc as the discovery oi perpetual motion, when a Mr. Davenport, a simple blacksmith of Vermont, succeeded i.. discovering the long sought for secret ofehuugiug ti*e poles of the magnet, so that at the instant it arrives at the point where hat lor its poies being changed it becomes stationary, tins is aecsmplished, and repulsion immediately takes place. The j>oles can thus he changed, if necessary, ten thousand times a minute, so that attraction and repulsion instantaneously succeed each oilier und p.-i pel the machine. We saw in New York, the other day, a smv.il machine about the size of a man's hatr put in operation which raised a twenty-four pound weight, one foot per minute. Tim machine is of the most simple kind imaginable, being merely an upright shaft with four arms of equal length, made ol soft iron; around these shafts are two semicircular magnets together forming a circle, but kept separated. The shafts, were magnetized by a current of galvanism, are of i i . _ _ _ i _ course strongly aurijcieu 10 me poies ui the surrounding magnets, and like the net-' die, will turn round till they arrive at the opposite poles. At this poiut the poles are instantaneously changed, and, as we before observed, repulsion takes the place of attraction, and vice versa. Thus the revolution of the arms and the shaft are kept up, with a power and velocity corresponding, with the election magnet power. The galvanic battery from which the stream is produced may, for a pretty large machine, he contained in a quart cup, and this is ail the U:e| necessary to propel the machine. Should the inventor of this mode <f implying magnetism to the propulsion of machinery be able to increase 'die power with a corresponding increase of the size of the machine, and we can sec no reason why this is not entirely practicable, the invention, is most unquestionably destined to supercede the use of both steam and water pow. er; us the expense of running it is nothing, there is not the leas: danger attending it, and it is so simple that a boy of ten years old cuu take charge of and regulate it. As the weight of the machine, in proportion tt* its power, is much less than that of a steam engine, and as the galvanic battery necos- , sarvtothc engine of two hundred horsepower would not occupy a space of more than two feet square, we cannot see why, in case the pow er can be increased with the increase of machinery, it may not be applied to propelling vessels over every part of "the wide expanse of illimitable waters," and. thus effect what has long been "a consummation devoutly to be wished," short uud certain passages to Europe and other parte of the world.?Philadelphia Herald. OcZOLAy THE INDIAN WAJtBIOS. EY N. 31. COHEN. Tiiis gifted individual is about thirty years of age, live feet ten inches high, rather slender than stout, elegantly formed-of remarkable lightness of limbs, yet capable of iron endurance, something of the Apollo and Hercules blended, or rather the easy grace, stealthy step and active spring of the tiger. His grandfather was a Sctchman. His. grandmother and mother were full-blooded 1 ' C ? L..J* Indians, ins minor wusui course a uu.,? breed; and Oseolu is therefore a quarterblood or one-fourth, which bis complexion and eves indicate, being much lighter than those of the Indians generally. When Conversing on topics agreeable to him, his countenance manifests more the disposition of the white than the red man. There is u great vivacity in the play of his features, and when excited, his lace is lit up by a thousand fires of passion, animation and energy. If is nose is Grecian at its base, and would be perfect Phidean, but that it bocomes slightly arched. There are indomitable firmness and w ithering scorn in the expression tt" his mouth, though the lips are tremulous from the intence emotions which seem ever boiling up within him. About bis brow, care and toil have traced their channels anticipating, on a youthful face, the havoc and the furrow work ol lime. To those who have known Oscolak)n?,? iiis lame does not appear as a sun-burst, but. as the ripening fruit of early promised blossoms.
