'Gen. Sam Houston is said to be the only member of the present CongTess, who was also a member thirty-fire years ago, when Edward Ererett formed one of the three hundred constituting; that body." There are some slight inaccuracies in that statement (say the -A", O. Pitxrpint) although not material. The Congress, in which Geneml Houston and Mr. Everett were members together, was that of 1825 -'27, more than thirty years ago, but not thiny-fire ; and the whole number of I members was 231, and net 300. It is of 1 that Congress that Gen. Houston was the only member who is a member of this Congress. But he is far from being the only surviving member, and there is at least one member of this Congress tvho was in Congress long previous to 1S25. Mr. Crittenden, the venerable Senator from Kentucky, was in the Senate in 1S17, more than forty years ago. Hous ton left Congress in 1827, and did not come back till 1S46, having not only been out of Congress, but for the most part out I of the Union, brought back, if all accounts of his ante-annexation coquetry with England be true, rather agaicst his wilL That Congress contained a great many men who have since acquired great rep utations, and occupied the highest posi tions in the country. Four of its mem bers, Van Buren, Harrison, Polk, and Buchanan, have since been elected Presi dent. Two Richard M. Johnson and Wm. R. Kicrr have been elected Vice- Presidents. The presiding officer of the senate was John C. Calhoun, then in the zenith of his popularity and the highest vigor of his intellect. The eccentric Ran dolph occupied the seat which, at the close of the term, was filled by John Ty ler, afterwards President. Daniel Web ster was in the House, and Hush L. White in the Senate men whom large masses of devoted friends uuavailingly strove to elect to the Presidency. Benton, then a giant among orators and statesmen was in the Senate; so was Hayne, of South Carolina, who died so young, and so deep ly lamented ; Forsyth, who never had a superior as a debater in the Senate, after wards Secretary of State and minister to Spam; Louis McLane, who successively became becretaxy of State and of the Treasury, and minister to England; Levi Woodbury, afterwards Secretary of the Navy, of the Treasury, and Justice of the supreme Court of the United States In the House, besides McDuffie and Hamilton, and Philip P. Barbour men wno nave lett great reputations uncon neciea wi;n putnc stations mere were Edward Livingston of Louisiana, Secre tary of State and minister to France; W L. Kives, or lrgmia, also minister to France; Andrew Stevenson, of Virrinia .. T-v 1- 1 1 .

Robert consoled the widow, and determined at the expiration of a year or so to marry her. He had too much respect for her to press his suit im mediately, and did not for fifteen months, when he proposed. To his horror she informed him that she was already enga ged, and that in three months more her second marriage was to be consummated. Two years passed. In the meantime the widow and her husband moved to Syra cuse, N. Y., and Robert pciiessed by some strange hallucination followed them. That season the cholera swept that city, and among its victims was the second hus band. Robert allowed a year to pass, and was on the point of urging his claims, when he received an invitation to her wedding. She was to be married to her : husband's partner. Robert remon strated. The lady assured him that her present step was rot one of love, but purely of necessity. The partnership affairs of her late lamented were in such state that settlement was impossible, and to save immense losses she had deter mined upjn marrying the surviving part ner. She assured him alio that her sen timents towards him were unchanged, and that should she ever become a widow again, she would give him the preference She was married and in a short time re moved with her third husband to Detroit, Mich. But a fatality seemed to pursue ner. Herself anl nusbana were on board of a steamer that was wrecked near Buffalo some years since. The hus band perished and she escaped only through the superhuman eiertions of a friend who happened to be on board. The friend was ycunsr, unmarried, and his gallantry inspired such sentiments in the breast of the widow, that she married him before Robert had time to claim her When he learned the state of affairs, he was somewhat indignant, but she toll him the circumstances and managed to satisfy him with the promise that if she ever be came widowed again, she would most po sitively marry him. The lady with her fourth husband settled on a farm near Bacyrus, while Robert removed to Mans field that he might be near her. In the course of a year, they removed to Pitts burgh, where the husband went into raer cantile business on Liberty street resid m?, however, m Alleghany city. Robert followed them, and finding employment determined to watch the chances closely, One day he was passing the store of Mr. , when he saw a terrible commotion Rushing in he saw Mr. , a mangled corpse upon the floor.

One of the bloodiest and most desperate encounters ever recorded, even in the annals of Kentucky, took place in Spring' field, Washington county, between Ben. Palmer and . Mack Booker. The for mer was instantly killed, and the latter is not expected to survive his wounds. There had been some ill feeling between the two arising from the election of Boo ker to the command of a company that had been raised in that county to go to Ltah. The particulars of the desperate afl ray are these: The parties met in the bar room of a tavern in Springfield, and an altercation instantly ensued, one or the other first using his fists. Each then drew a revolver and fired four shots apiece in rapid succession, three of Palmer's hit ting Booker one in the left hand, a sec ond in his leg, a third in the left breast. The first shot fired by Booker struck Pal mer in the groin, penetrating the blad der a mortal wound. He was also wounded in the leg. After exhausting killed him instantly. He inquired if any one had been sent to acquaint, his wife of the accident. Yes the first clerk had just started. Looking once more at pocr Mr. , to make sure that he was per fectly dead, Robert started for Allegheny as fast as his legs could carry him. The first clerk was only a trifle ahead of him, and Robert knowing the importance of being in time, from past experience, and fearing that the clerk had designs upon the widow, ran like an Indian.

In looking over the list of members of this Congress, -as published in .Yiles' Register of December, 1825, we notice a curious circumstance. The list contains the full names of every member cf the House of Representatives, but one. There was a new member from Tennes- ged to stop to make change, while Robert who paid toll by the year, passed without delay, He reached the house, told the heart-rending news and obtained a solemn pledge from the widow before the clerk arrived. This time she was true to her promise, and after a year had passed they were married. As all her husbands died wealthy. Robert is very comfortably fixed.

GIBSON, BLACKSMITH Second Street,between Main acd Nebraska, BEOWNVILLE, N. T. Perseyerance Rewarded. We clip the following story from the Bucyrus (Ohio) Journal. Of course we do not know who this modern Jacob mav be: We picked up a Pittsburch paper the other day, and saw therein the marriage of a couple that formerly resided in this lace. There are many marnases in other towns of people who have once liv ed in Bucyrus, and we do not pretend to law B - record them at all, but m mis instance there is an incident of too uncommon a nature to be passed over. It is as follows: Twelve years ago the bride was a young lady of twenty; the daughter of a wealthy merchant in asnington, renn. In her father's employ was a young man named Robert , who, the youn? lady being bewitchingly beautiful, as in duty bound, feu desperately in love with her. She reciprocated the attachment an! they were betrothed. Unfortunately, the young lady's father entered his protest against this pleasant arrangement, and according ly the young people put off the happy day indefinitely. About a year afterwards she received a most tempting proposal, which, urged by her father, she accepted Farm and Garden. From the Country Gentleman. "Cot any Ashes ?w What to do with inem. . "Got any ashes?" asked an itinerant gatherer of the dust, calling out from the road-side. "Yes, a hundred bushels or so," an swered the farmer. Down iumped the ''ash-man," and was about to open the gate when he was told "Hold on!" "Hold on ! .why, I want a lead of your ashes." But they are not fortaU my friend ; WW W 11 w we snail need ail we nave lor use ai home." Wondering what one min or woman, rather could want of a hundred bushels of ashes, the "pedler" went grumbling on. Farmer, let him go ! If you got "any ashes," keep them, and use them at home as a manure for your farm. Let us give you some authorities in regard to their value. Ashes have been employed as a ferti lizer of the soil from a very early age. Cato, a Roman writer upon agriculture, recommended the use of wood-ashes as a manure, and the ancient Jews, Rcman3, and Britons, burned over their stubbles preparatory to another crop. In modern times they continued to be employed, but not as largely as their value wou.d com mand, were it better understood and ap preciated by the farmer. Ashes are said by Browne, to "render clayey soils mellow, and to give consisten cy to those which are light, rather suiting moist than dry soils, but it is necessary that the former should be well drained." "From four to six bushels per acre," ac cording to Johnston, -'may be applied to thin, almost sterile soils, with good ef fect, larger quantities would be too ex hausting, unless the soil be naturally rich in vegetable matter, or mixed from year to year with a sufficient quantity of barn yard manure." Ashes are employed in Great Britain a3 a manure for root crops, and are used for this purpose in connection with bone dust, and drilled in with the seed. Ac cording to Johnston as much as fifteen bushels of each are app-ied to an acre, and often with great success. Turnips, carrots, and potatoes, seem equally ben efitted by ashes. "They may be used with advantage for almost every class of crops," says Browne, "but especially for grass, gram, and Indian corn, though k: ri ui.i v:, :.w accoruintr to oprensrei, -tne unnieumie ma si-uia, laiiuci uuiitru 1.13 l'iiiui wnui , e. e i. , igth a-ainst Booker, who, ?ent 01 aes 13 IDOsJ Ppuoie from one acre of orchard. HughJIatch of Camden, N. J., obtained from four trees of the Tewsbury Blush, 110 bushels of apples, or 35 bushels from each tree. Examples almost beyond number rnay be given, where single trees have yielded from So to S 10 u year in fruit, and miny instances wheTe S'20 or S30 have been obtained. An acre cf such trees would be equal to any of the preceding instances. ' If one tree of the Rhode Island Green ing will afford 40 bushels of fruit,, at a quarter of a tkllir per bushel, which has . often occurred, 40 such trees cn an icre would yield a crop worih S4C0. Bat tak ing one quarter of this amount as a low average for all seasons, and with imper fect cultivation, 8100 would still be equal to the interest cf 81,500 per acre. New, this estimate is based upon the price of good winter apples for the past 30 year in our most productive districts. Let a similar circulation be made with fruits rarer and of a more delicious character. Apricots and the finer varieties of the plum are often sold for three tosix dol lars per bushel, the best early peaches from one to four dollars, andpearsfrom hardy and productive trees for an equal amount. Of the three former kinds, two to five bushels, with a good management is a frequent crop, and on large trees, five times this quantity. An acquain tance received SS for a crop grown on two fine young cherry trees, and 8-4 from tour young peach trees of only b years years old from the bud. The farmer. then, who sets out twenty acres of good orchards, and takes care of them, may expect at no very remote period of hi life to receive from one to two thousand dollars a year, which is quite a "good in come, and the farm can be worked as well as if the trees were not planted on it. An orchard is a capital which pays yearly dividends that are better to be counted upon than our American railway stocks, which a person holding cne day may count his thousands of shares, and the next day' find them all vanished, as Aladdin's did, in fairy tale, in a single night. He can then sleep without anxie ty as the goldenshower comes from above and drop at his feet, and as the reasons roll, so his rewards increase. all his strength thinking himself mortally wounded, seiz ed the other with his left hand by the coat collar, and throwing away his pistol, drew a bowie knife and stabbed the un fortunate Palmer nine times in the breast and body. The latter fell dead in his tracks, his body streaming blood at every pore. Booker may possibly survive his wounds, though it is thought the shot in the breast will prove fatal. Booker is the son of JudrePaul Book er, tor many years Lnstnct Judge in the State. Palmer is the son of the Hon. R. C. Palmer, ex-Senator from Wash ingtcn county, and a grand son of the late Ben. Hardin, of Beardstown. Louisville Courier, 5th. A Greek lawyer recently moved, in the Supreme Court at Alliens, for the rever sal of the sentence agiinst Socrates. This is coin? back a little more than tveenfy-two centuries. upon leguminous plants, such as clover, peas, beans, &.c." Upon red clover, "the effect be more certain if previously mixed with one-fourth their weight of gypsum. The use of ashes as a manure for corn is becoming quite reneral in this section of the country they are applied as a hill-dressinT immediatelv after the first hoeing, at the rate of two table-spoonfuls per hill, or about two bushels per acre. They are found useful, applied at the same time, to potatoes, to beans, and to almost every hoed crop. We have used them in these ways and upon grass land, to the benefit of the crops and the perma nent amelioration of the soil, and have no doubt but that it will be far more profit able to any farmer to 'use them at home, than to sell them for the pittance gener ally offered 8 to 10 cents per bushel "in trade equal to perhaps one-half that amount, nett cash. A Thief Claiming to be Honorable. On the nieht of the 17lh ult.,the office of the Mill of Andrew Lincoln in Pen field, was burglariously entered, the desk broken upon and robbed cf a wallet, con taining a number of papers, and between four and five dollars in cash. The notes amounted to some four or five thousand dollars, and Mr. Lincoln was anxious to ol tain them, although they might be o no use to any other person. Yesterday a package came to ihe ad dress of Mr. Lincoln, at Penfield Post Office, containing a part of these notes and a letter from the thief, of which the which the following is a verbatim copy March 2d, 1S5& Injured Sir I take the first opportunity wright- ing to you and sending you your papers which are of no value to me ; Having been at work on the Canal at Fairport until the 12th inst, with poor pay I determined to Quit- Seeing the Shape of affairs in your house I thot I Might make a htwl. had Some trouble to get in but when there I had more in getting in the desk.

It turns under weeds and rubbish, loosens the soil generally, andTthus gives the root3 a chance to ramify and seek fresh food. Without this annual spading (or forking,) besides depriving the shrubs and flowers of much benefit, will cause you no end of trouble to keep down the tiresome weeds. In such a case you will find to your sorrow, that "all weeds grow apace," and are difficult of eradication. On the contrary, spade or fork over the soil, leaving it moderately rough at first; level down with a rake as soon as the ve getation begins to put forth, and just draw your hoe occasionally through dur ing summer, and the weeds do not get the first chance to grow. Do you want to increase the stock of your flowering shrubs and plants ? If so it must be done at the same time. Those little shocts or suckers round about the old Lilacs, Snowball trees, and other shrubs. are precisely the pieces required, and are doing injury to the old plants. Take them up with a spade, and set in your garden in rows two feet apart or so, and six inches in the rows; or if that docs net suit, just plant them here and there in among the other shrubery. Seme kinds do not sucker or but little; a few of these may be tried as cutting?, put them ino sandy soil, preparing them about six or nine inches in length, cutting the bottom under a joint; in fact quite similar to the way you would set gooseberry cr currant cuttings. Supposing- they would not root this way kindly, you will have to layer the old plant, which consists in nothing more than taking down a shoot near to the ground, and burying with a little soil; it will require an oblique cut to form a "tongue" to root freely. If you want to try your hand in raising new kinds, you must next year save seed from any pro mising flower, sow it, and the result may be "something new." Do not forget to occasionally divide old large stumps cf perennial flowers. In doing so however give them a fair chance that is, do not take your spade and just chop off its sides, leaving it precisely in its original position, barring the outside either give it fresh soil altogether, or re move it to a fresh spot.
