 Grier's Almanac. 
 
 R©BfflRT Gribr died, May 4th, 1848. Not withstanding the fact 
 thus noted, the people insist on having Almanacs made by Gricr, and 
 strange to relate, Grier's Almanacs aro still published, and ignorant 
 people believe the celebrated Almanac maker had something to do with 
 the calculations. But he has not. lie has gone where they don't make 
 Almanacs. We ask these lovers of Grier's Almanacs to look on the 
 title page and see who makes the calculations — not Grier, certain. 
 
 A Beautiful and lasting WliUcwasn. 
 
 Take a quarter of a peek of unslacked limo, and pour it in a kettle 
 of boiling water: while the lime is slacking, add half a gallon of stale 
 chamber-ley; when the lime is perfectly slacked, dilute it With water to 
 the proper consistence, and add to this mixture 'one-quarter of an ounce 
 ©f Prueian blue. This will give you a beautifal and lasting 1 wash, that 
 will neither peel off nor turn yellow. By incroasinf( the quantity of 
 blue, you may make either a pale or dark blae; and by adding yellow 
 er r%4. echre, you may impart either of theeo tints to suit your trwrte. 
 
 To Remote Panes of Glass. — Put soft soap on the patty for a faw 
 hours, and it becomes as soft as if just put on, though the putty had 
 become as hard as a stone.

 STAftflaae. — Sheep, as well as horses, are sometimes afflicted with the 
 staggers. It is occasioned by improper food. Oak leaves and buds are 
 particularly prejudicial. They bind the bowels and staggers frequently 
 follow. To cure this disorder, dissolve half an ounoe of assafoetida in 
 two quarts of water ; give a quarter of a pint, warm, every three hours.

 Starch. — Tn making starch from wheat, the grahi is steeped in cold 
 water until it becomes soft, and yields a ruiiky juice by pressure; it i* ! 
 then put into sacks of linen, and pressed in a vat filled with cold water, 
 as long as any milky juice exudes. After standing some time, the fluid

 MareW4th. — Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal llamiin elected Presi- 
 dent ana Vice President of the L T nited State*. This result of the Pre- 
 sidential election was viewed by the people of the South as an assur- 
 ance that their political rights in the Union were no longer to be res- 
 pected ; and they, therefore resolved to assert their independence, as 
 our forefathers did in the Revolution of 1770. and set up a Government 
 for themselves. They determined first', however, to try and settle all 
 difficulties, by an effort either to obtain some guarantees frwh the Norili 
 that their rights would be respected, or to separate peaceably, if possi- 
 ble. For this purpose, offers of compromise wore made by Souther* 
 members of Congress, and a Peace Convention assemble*} iu "Wasbiag- 
 ton city; and Commissioners were, also, Bent to Washington city from 
 South Carolina; but all to no purpose. Hence the States now «•■• 
 posing the Southern Confederacy seceded by the adoption of ordinances 
 of tecession, which were adopted in State Convent ions in the order iu 
 which they are here presented :
