A HINT•TO FAHMEHs WHO HUY MA-
As prnbably hot one half of your read
ers know what guano is, permit mu a small
spate to'explain that it is the droppings of
ins birds , that feed, through the day. on
fish in the Pacific ocean, and settle at night
on islinth and high peaks of land on the
coast of Peru. These deposits have been
accumulating since fish and birds were
created. So numerous are the* birds, or
rather haiet' been, that it is computed that
if each one voids one ounce in the course
of the night, the aggregate quantity has
been 90 tons in twenty-four hours, or 32,-
950 tons annually, from time immemorial.
You may judge from this nice calculation,
made by travellers, that there is something
eery ettrectire in the subject. As to its
qualities and uses, the writer of this has
received letters within a few days from two
scientific and very judicious practical far
tuens—Ffiends-,---who are slow -to be mov
ed—one in Montgomery county, and one
in Petersburg, Virginia—both of whom
speak of guano, after trial, as the cheapest
and most powerful of;a11 known fertilizers.
1 should be glad to annex their -remarks;
but. its the din of polities, whocareas about
agriculture
Well, as to its history as a manure in
England, give me room only to say that,
in 1840, only twenty casks were taken to
that country. having tried these twenty
casks, in 1841 they imported eight hundred
tons; in 1842, ten thousand tons; and
twenty thousand tons in 1843. how is it
now! Why, in 1844, at the close of AAa•
gust, 120 vessels had arrived at lehabiie;
airmail island on the coast of Africa, and
many more were expected. Allowing
400 tons to be the average tonnage death,
it is believed that, in the course of the curl
xent year, there will have been tecelerl
from that island 70,000 tons, 30,000 top
from Pero, and that, after various expeei
meets, increasing every year for the last
four years. In short, its effects havebeen
most beneficial on all the crops to which
it has been applied in England and in A.
merica. In Maryland, last year, it had
powerful effect on tobacco beds, not only
in accelerating thegrowth of the plants, but
in the prevention or destruction of the fly.'
And Mr. Pleasantg, of Petersburg, says
that even where he applied hit one hie
died pounds to the acre on wh‘t,tlin of
feet was twist striking.
Guano," says a respectable and disiji
serested also of.gteat use to tltp .
vine; and it is admitted that the dint:int of
Maguegua owes the abundance and quality
of its wines to the application of this kind
of manure in the early,stages.ofititgalhath/
It not only," says he, "gives health and [o
business to trees and shrubs, but also eau
hancea the beauty and flavor of European
as well as indigenous fruits,"
In his discourse, delivered by Mr. Skin
ner at Wilmington, he gives the following
comparative estimate as furnished by Mr.
Magmas, an extensive horticulturalist, of
the soundest character and judgment, reit

MOST WONDERFUL CURE.
Philadelphia, Dec. 4, 1847.
Penetrated with a deep sense of gratitude for
the benefit experienced by the use of Themsmis
Compound,Syrup of Tar, and that others who,
like me, have languished through lean of affliction
and suffering, without being able to find a remedy
may,know where it can be obtained, 1 voluntarily
Mike the following statement.
About four years since, after being affected with
a violent cold, it left upon me a troublesome and
severe cough. Whilst the cough continued, which
wfb with scarcely an intermission, during this
long period, language fails to tell what I have suf.
fered from debility, pains in the breast and side,
night sweats, difficult expectoration, oppressed
breathing, and in fact all those symptoms which
mark • severe pulmonary affection. The relief
occasionally obtained by the discharge of the mat
ter which obstructed the healthy action of my
system, but increased my fears, as the purulent
matter discharged was frequently streaked with
blood.
During this time I was under the treatment of
several physicians,and took many of those prepa•
rations recommended as serviceable in the cures
of others, but without relief : and I at length con
cluded that a cure in my case was hopeless. But
how agreeably changed is now my opinion! I
have n,eil for about three weeks Thomson s Cum.
pound Syrup of Tar, By the use of one bottle my
cough has been relieved and my system reinvigo
rated, and by continuing the use of it up to this
time, I am satistieN that my complaint is e ntirely
removed and eradicated.

Dear sir—:bout three weeks ago any wilt
caught a bPi vie cold, , A hiqh troubled her a goad,
deal and gave her great uticasiamis; she prepared
a great many articles which were recistmeended
to her by her friends, but without receiving the
benefit from any of then' ; her emigh was getting
worse every day ; her appetite was fast hi ling
and to sleep was impossiloe: the pains in irtir
breast and side became so severe that that she
had to go to bed. and my friends advised me to
call in a Physician. I thought I would call ire
the store where you were engaged sad see if 1
could not get something that Iseuld relieve her,
when you gave me a bottle of your Exygetorant,
assuring nie that it would cure her, she cowmen
cent taking it that night, not, however, without
great opposition or the part of some of her
friends, who said it was only some "Quack
Medicine," ■nd would do her more halm
than good.- But I determined winker your whiter,
and now led all knee the Remit 1 From taking the
first dose she felt easier, though unable ki sleep
on account of the quantity of phlegm that loosen
ed and world almost choke her, bin which etut:
could spit up with but little difficulty; the follow
ing day *be continued it seconding to the direc
tions, and that time, for the field time for neariy
two weeks, she enjoyed u good night's rest and by
the time she had finished the Int battle, she was
entirely cured. Make what one of this you think
proper, for such an invaluable medicine should be
made known to the afflicted every where. With
best wishes fee your sateeas.
