Warde, when political agent at the Court of Runjoet Singh io the I'unjaub, irtade the following extraordinary report to the Government of Caleutta i—1 _ ( "1 * 1 I was present at the Court of Runjeet Singh when the F«]|cer mentioned by the Honorable Captain Osborne was buried atlive for six weeks; and although 1 arrived a few hours after his actual intermcnt, and did.not, consequently, witness that part oi the phenomenon. I had the testimony of tho Runjeet Singh himself, and others the most credible witnesses of his Court, to the truth of the Fakeer having been so buried before.litem; from my hav. ing myself been present when he was disinterred, and restored to a perfect state of vitality, in a position so close to him as to render any deception impossible, it is my firm belief that there was no coljusion in producing the.extraordinary fact which 1 have related. Captain Osborne's book is not at present" before ntfe, that I might refer to such parts of his account as devolve the authenticity of the fact on my authority. 1 will, therefore, briefly state what 1 saw, to enable othors to judge of the weight due to my evidence, and whether any proofs of collusion can, in their opinion, be Growler*. Advertising. From th« PBNNB^ There is ft class of men in every com- j irtunity who go about with tinogur faces i growling because somebody feels ubove I tlieni, or because ilwy-are not appreciated I as they should bo, and who have a constant quarrel with their destiny. These men, i usually, bye made a very grave mistake i in the estimate of their abilities, or are unmlti'gftted asses. In either case they are unfortunate. Wherover this tuuh finding with one'fltwrdltion or position bctil/fs there is always a want of self inspect. If people dtspise you, do not tell it all over town.— If you. aro smart, show it. Do something, and keep doing. If you arc a right down ctever fellow, wash the wormwood off your fe'ee, and show your good-will by your deeds. 'Ffifib, if people feci above you, go strait ofl' and fee) above them. If they! turn up their noses because urc a me- ! cluiriio, or a farmer, or a shop boy, turn : yours up a notch higher. If they swell when ihey puss you in the street, swell yourself, and if this does not " frich flieui," conclude very gdod-naturedlv that they a're ; unworthy ol your acquaintance, and pity ; them fbr missing such a capital chance to get into good society. Society never estimate n man at what he imagines himself , to he. He must show himself to bfi pos: M-sscd of self-respect, independence, finer, i gy to will and to do, and a sound heart.— These qualities and possessions will " put ; him through." Who blames a man for j feeling above those who are mean enough to go round, like babies, telling how people ubuse them, and winning because society will not take ihem by the cpllar and drag thein into decency.

Judicious advertising systematically pursued, is always sure to build a ground work of opinion from which thousands of beneficial but unseen results are ocrtaio t« flow. Its effect can only be atcfrtaincd, by comparison between the trade of those n-ho advertise and those who do not, and then, not fully, for the advertiser indirectly benefits by his publicity his less enterprising neighbor.

Urain is heuvior and better in quality for oarty cutting ; and experience shows that ihe straw is not less superior for feeding purposes.—Some kinds, cut early, and carclully cured, arc nendy equal to certain vnrieties of hay, and even superior to most of that which has been suffered lo ripen and bleach till it is little bitter than a mass of dry sticks. Indian cornstalks, when cut as above, and weM cured, make a most admirable foddor. Tliey arc then sweet and nutricirnis in fin eminent degree.—When cut fine, and mixed with Indian meal, are eaten by cattle with much avidity, and eaten clean, bults and all. Some farmers think that really good stalks are worth about us much, as the best hay.,—\Vhen we consider the weight of them to bo obtained from an nerc of heavy corn, they are probably nr?re than equal, taking into account the respective quantities per acre. detected He then rubbed his ejeliffs with ghee, (or clarified butter,) for some second#, until lie succccded iu opening thorn, when (he eyes appeared quite motionless nnd glared.

" Whlit is the u.seof your head," replied the needle sharply, " if you havo no eye," « What is the au eye," said the pin, "ifthero is always something in it " 1 am more activt and can go through more hard work than you can," said the needle.

Warde, when political agent at the Court of Runjoet Singh io the I'unjaub, irtade the following extraordinary report to the Government of Caleutta i—1 _ ( "1 * 1 I was present at the Court of Runjeet Singh when the F«]|cer mentioned by the Honorable Captain Osborne was buried atlive for six weeks; and although 1 arrived a few hours after his actual intermcnt, and did.not, consequently, witness that part oi the phenomenon. I had the testimony of tho Runjeet Singh himself, and others the most credible witnesses of his Court, to the truth of the Fakeer having been so buried before.litem; from my hav. ing myself been present when he was disinterred, and restored to a perfect state of vitality, in a position so close to him as to render any deception impossible, it is my firm belief that there was no coljusion in producing the.extraordinary fact which 1 have related. Captain Osborne's book is not at present" before ntfe, that I might refer to such parts of his account as devolve the authenticity of the fact on my authority. 1 will, therefore, briefly state what 1 saw, to enable othors to judge of the weight due to my evidence, and whether any proofs of collusion can, in their opinion, be Growler*. Advertising. From th« PBNNB^ There is ft class of men in every com- j irtunity who go about with tinogur faces i growling because somebody feels ubove I tlieni, or because ilwy-are not appreciated I as they should bo, and who have a constant quarrel with their destiny. These men, i usually, bye made a very grave mistake i in the estimate of their abilities, or are unmlti'gftted asses. In either case they are unfortunate. Wherover this tuuh finding with one'fltwrdltion or position bctil/fs there is always a want of self inspect. If people dtspise you, do not tell it all over town.— If you. aro smart, show it. Do something, and keep doing. If you arc a right down ctever fellow, wash the wormwood off your fe'ee, and show your good-will by your deeds. 'Ffifib, if people feci above you, go strait ofl' and fee) above them. If they! turn up their noses because urc a me- ! cluiriio, or a farmer, or a shop boy, turn : yours up a notch higher. If they swell when ihey puss you in the street, swell yourself, and if this does not " frich flieui," conclude very gdod-naturedlv that they a're ; unworthy ol your acquaintance, and pity ; them fbr missing such a capital chance to get into good society. Society never estimate n man at what he imagines himself , to he. He must show himself to bfi pos: M-sscd of self-respect, independence, finer, i gy to will and to do, and a sound heart.— These qualities and possessions will " put ; him through." Who blames a man for j feeling above those who are mean enough to go round, like babies, telling how people ubuse them, and winning because society will not take ihem by the cpllar and drag thein into decency.

These ten States, comprising so important a portion of the country, have, a total area* of 169,700 square miles, of which Pennsylvania, with her 46,000, possesses more than one-fourth (27 per cent; ) and they had a census population, in 1840, of $- 819,107, of which Pennsylvania, with her 1,724,033, claimed a little over one-fourth, or about 26J per cent.

Hume Advertisements, in u newspaper lorm very pertain indications of local business energy; and there is no more common way limn tjiis, an»ong practical men, CiT judging of the enterprise of a community. Judicious advertising systematically pursued, is always sure to build a ground work of opinion from which thousands of beneficial but unseen results are ocrtaio t« flow. Its effect can only be atcfrtaincd, by comparison between the trade of those n-ho advertise and those who do not, and then, not fully, for the advertiser indirectly benefits by his publicity his less enterprising neighbor.

Urain is heuvior and better in quality for oarty cutting ; and experience shows that ihe straw is not less superior for feeding purposes.—Some kinds, cut early, and carclully cured, arc nendy equal to certain vnrieties of hay, and even superior to most of that which has been suffered lo ripen and bleach till it is little bitter than a mass of dry sticks.

From the time of the box being opened, to the recovery ol the voice, not more.than half an hour could have elapsed ; and in another hour the Fukeer talked with myself and thoae about him freely, though feebly, like a sick person ; and we then left him convinced that there had been no fraud nor collusion in the exhibition we had witnessed.

" I should like lo know," said the pin, " what you are good fiir, and how you expect to get through this world without u head." " Whlit is the u.seof your head," replied the needle sharply, " if you havo no eye," « What is the au eye," said the pin, "ifthero is always something in it " 1 am more activt and can go through more hard work than you can," said the needle.
