Salt paid $62,639 tolls, because the dl -an salt is onlv about 50 cents a ton takina the -sole together.

Professor Siliiman, who immediately examined the accident, attributes their escape to the fact that the foundation cf the house contained a great quaulily of iron-stone. The injury done to the house is accounted for by the circumstance that the lightning rods eutered the ground but two or three inches.

Wild Rick. I have about a pound of wild rice, which I brought from Rice Lxke, Upper Canada. It was collected by the Ontonahee Indians. Some of this rice iB Rice Lake takes root in water twelve feet deep, in rich mud, nnd rises to three or four feet above the sur face Of the lake. The Indrnns paddle their canoes into the aquatic field, and with a long pole turn over the heads of the rieeinto the ea noe, and then with a small stick beat the gram from the heads.

The rice is a dark olive co lor. I have eaten it boiled, served up as a des serf, with fresh butter and the sweet syrup of the maple -it was delicious. One of my daagh ters paid a visit to the settlement of the Ontort- abee Indians early in this month, and will obtain and bring home with her some of the wild rice. The Journal of Commerce of Tuesday morning contains a letter from one of its correspondents at the Upper Lakes, from which I make the following extract Galena, August 14, 1845. In notiqing the plants of interest in the country through which I have travelled, that of the Wjld Rice presents an interesting appearance.

It is everywhere found on the upper lakes, and, as is well known, constitutes an important articled' food with the Indians. We found it growing extensively oa the borders of the Lake St. Croix, and skirting, for a considerable distance, the shore of the. river. Il was in full bloom.

The seed part ol the plant pppeared at the very top of the stalk, while the blooms or pollen were attached to the stalk below the seed head. appeared to be very slightly attached to the marshy deposit at the bottom of the lake by its roots, being easily pulled up. The entire length of a stalk is four or five feet, with one half of it beneath theater. Its blade.s, stalk and head risefom one to one and a half and two feet above the water. It grows so thick that, when viewed al a short distance, it presents a uniform surface of green, entirely concealing the water beneath.

It ripens in September and October, when it is gathered by the Indians, who go among it in cauocs tooblain.it. Its blades are tender and sweet tasted, and would no doubt make very nutritious fo.ider for catlle.

The troubles ill these counties are of a very serious nature. The crops are wasting upon the grounds unfathered, nnd the inhabitants in arms against each other, nnd every new trouble but to increase the spirit of hostility and anarchy. The dillieuUies in these counties require a pacificator the misguided men should be reasoned with. Broggudocio notices of the delnded victim adds fuel to the Humes, and kindles up wrath and leads to no good end. Boastings in such cases are out ol place, and such men should not be entrusted with a command.

Culm, considerate and fearleys men are required for these trj inj scenes. The Weather. The heat has been oppressive for several days, and more debilitating than the hottest days of July, which were about ten degrees higher thnn those of August. The Jaly heat was a dry atmosphere, the August, a moist atmosphere in this locality. It is stated that a rain guae keptnt Poughkeepsie, shows a full of but one inch of rain, since the lift day of July.

Rain has fallen abundantly in many localities, while others have suffered excessively from drought. Such are the mysterious operations of nature, and these are as far beyond human research, as to the cause, as they were 1000 years ago. Caution to Boys. One hundred or more boys may be seen in the outskirt of our city, every Sun lay in succession, robbing the orchards of fruit. The week before last on complaint of Thcodorus Polhemns, Gowanus, the Mayor ordered out a pos-e of police to protect his grounds, and a number of boys were arrested who upon promise of not being guilty of M'CoFmic arretted, upon the same grounds, a number of Brooklyn and New Y'ork boys who were examined at the Municipal Court yesterday.

Two from Brooklyn named (William Barns and Thomas Early) were fined $3 each. The New Y'ork boys gave bail for their appearance at the next Conrt. Police We stated in yesterday's paper fhnt a watchman was arrested and discharged for creating a disturbance in his watch district, which was incorrect. He gave bail for his appearance before the Court of Oyer and Terminer. Thomas Fullingham, was arrested by officer Clayton, and put in jail charged with taking money from a money drawer.

Piano Fortes. We refer our readers to an advertisement in to-day's paper, of Gilbert's celebrated Piano Fortes, for sale at 295 Broadway, N. Y. An examination of these instruments, will enable persons to confirm the high ly favorable opinion expressed by Mr. Henry Russell, and qther eminent composers, or the superior qualities of these pianos.

IThe maker has had an experience of about twenty-five years, and has now a reputation as a manufacturer excelled by none others in thi country. There are said to be now use in Brooklyn, about forty of these instruments, whose owners unhe in the strongest opinion of the good. Qualities possessed by Mr. Gilbert's Patent-action Piano Fortes and persons about purchasing will do themselves justice by examining them. Judge Firman's Addrfjs.

The Agricultural Society of Queens County, have just published, at.the press of C. S. Watrous, Jamaica "Address delivered before the Queens County Agricultural Society, at its Third Anniversary, fit Jamaica, October 1841, by GSRrr.t. Furman." We had the pleasure of hearing this Address, which, we doubt not, will be read with much. interest by who cherish a re gard for historical research, and curious facts relative to Agriculture.

Il is much to be feared that many of you do not sufficiently consider the high responsibility you are under to your God, lo your families, and to Ihe community at large, for the manner in which you treat your children.

As the Herald has laigc circulation, il is proper these mis-staiemenis should be corrected. Brooklyn City Intelligence Lack of Public Spirt Public Buildings, This eitv of churches and palaces, notwith standing its boasted soperior civilization, 'nnd its sixty thousand inhabilanis, has scarcely a sufficient number nf public bnildines for the transaction of its ordinary municipal That Brooklyn does nol lack in Public Spirit is quite evident from what hat been done, rather than what is left undone. We are yet a very young city and to save us from a worse expense and litigation, we have paid fifty thousand dollars for surveys of the city into streets maps, plans, Jic. 'Thewalls of the capacious structnre which was intended for a City Hall, are still in This very foundation is an evidence of great public spirit' too great by far I We incurred a great debt which we are now very successfully reducing. We suffer no inconvenience for the want of the building all we lose is the interest of its debt, and the ihgrace of having nf'l Se'lfong projected public hospital, is still only an imaginary We have always had a comfortable and proper public hospital, although it is not much of an We shall probably erect edifices as fast as we can obtain the means.

The Park, (so called) is an unsightly plot of unenclosed ground situated in a miasmatic and unhealthy portion of the In time thia will be a fine park, conferring blessings to thousand. Its location under all the circumstances was very proper otherwise an unhealthy spot might have been continued. Fort Green, the once favorite resort of the Brook lynites, is rapidly giving way lo the levelling operatiqns of the steam Unless a portion of it is reserved as a public Park or Parade, which is much spoken of, it may well come down.

We think the propertyiwill be purchased and made a permanent promenade.

"This is incorrect. There are sewers in several streets connecting with the olher sewers are wanted at present.

-Wc are all supplied with good and wholesojne water from which are plenty enough in every street. There are natural springs near the Ferries, along the whole front of the city on the East River. At WalLabout and Gowanus bays there are many. If more good water yeas wanted, a few steaia engines would elevate a uiTicient nsi-ntily. The only public of any extent or importance, in the county, are the Poor House and the Jail.

The latter is said to be one of the most admirably constructed edifices in the United States and its interior arrangement, under the management of its present popular keeper, (Mr. Vaa Voorhefs,) are infinitely superior to those of any other prison in this State not only in reference to its cleanlines, bnt also as regards the rigid ord-r and discipline which reenforeed.
