1 hare been much interested of late
in tins discussions, in various agricnltu
rill papers, upon the application of ma
nures. While some advocate surface
naming, others are strong in its con

most immediately plowed under. With

fbw practical facts, and leave your in

In almost any way applied.
Your correspondent, "A Resident of
Delaware Qpunty," is quite severe in
his condemnation of full surface manur

ried off into " mill dams" and low
lands." I admit that in some situations

to, on such unfavorable locations I and
the fact, that a loss may be sustained in
such cases, is no argument that each
Applinistions would not prove beneficial
on a more level surface. The objection
gauerally made to top dressing or sur
face manuring, is the escape of ammonia
by exposure to the air. If this is the
main objection, and it certainly is the
one mostly urged, t would remark,
that.the moment the heap of manure,
either in your barn-yard or ,anywhere
OW, .0 disturbed, this process is com
menced. If, then, you cart out your
manure as speedily as possible to your
MO, spread it, and set your plowman
to turning it under, are not these vola

My fiFite plan, if practicable, is to

by doing so my manure will go much

♦ Prousaiaa Jkfiate.
A Prussian journal of tho Lower
Rhine tells a very good story of a re
ligions community thereon, who, ap
preciating the long and able services of
their faithful minister, unanimously re
solved, as a slight testimonial of the
same, to present him this year of a
bountiful vintage each with a bottle of
white wine. The minister was ofcourse
duly sensitive to this delicate tribute of
love and affection, as well as pretty
proud of it, as an evidence that his
ministry not been altogether in
vain, and at considerable expense pre
pared in his cellar a huge ornamented
cask, at which, on the appointed day,
appeared every member of his flock
and emptied his bottle. But what
was the surprise of tho minister,
as well as of the generous donors, on
tasting from the now overflowing cask,
to find that it was not wino, but water I
A strang e thing, nertainly, and of which
wo have no other explanation than this,
that every member of the society was
of the same idea that ono bottle of water
would not be noticed in a whole cask of
wino.
stir An honest Jonathan from the
interior, on a visit to the metropolis,
was awakened one night by hearing
the cry of" Oysters! buy any oysters !"
in the mellifluess tones of a vender of
the lucious shell fish, who was passing
under the window of the hotel. A
noise so new to him startled him, and
ho asked his room-mate what it meant.
" It's only oysters !" roptiod his fol
lom-lodger pettishly.
" Oysters 1 ." exclaimed Jonathan, in
astonishment ; " and do oysters hollor
as load as that."
war" I shan't be with yon a great
while, Jane,". said Mr. Molter; " I
shan't stay here a great while."
"Oh ! Mr. Maker, how can you say
so?" said Mrs. Melter, with a lugubrious
expression of face.
"Because," said he, " I feel as if I
was 'most gone, and that I was just
passing away like a cloud before the
rising sun."
Mr. Metter vented his prophecy the
next day, by running away with a good
and sympathizing sister.

to another, "let us play fighting ! and
you stand on the table ; that's the fort ;
and I'll be the enemy, and undermine
the fort, and blow it up—take the table

over. Won't it be fun ?" Johnny was
doubtful, and 'suggested That Charley
stand upon the table, or else he must
decline playing.

want a boy to havo a hundred shirts?"
Sarin going up to Buffalo, the other
day, the coupling between the two cars
broke. This, of course, broke the bell
cord which passes thrqugh the cars.
The train immediately stopped. An
old lady asked, " What's the matter'"
"The coupling has broke, martn."—
The old lady, looking - at the broken
bell-oord, said, "Don't wonder, if they
tie the cars together with such a pesky
string as that."
Arafura! Clima.r.—ln tho hearing of a
case tbr an 'assault and battery, a coun

witnesses, asked him what they had at
the first place they stopped at ? "Four
glasses of ale," " What next?" "Two
glasses id whiskey." " What next?"
One glass of brandy." " What next ?"
" A fight."

Lottery • It's no such thing. The Pencils
are sold at their cash value, and all the profits
over the first cost are thrown into the
which actually cost the purchaser nothing.—
The prises are distributed on a simple plan
of drawing, which would take too much
room to explain. but which has never- failed
to give complete satisfaction. We have
drawm and sent to purchasers 183 gold watches
of various prices, 74 purses of gull dollars.
2311 gold lockets,.Bso gold chains, and a cur
re4ponditag number of other prises, within
two months.
THERE ARE NO BLANKS, but every
porehaxer draws a prise worth $ oertain, and
it stands thousands of chances to Le a higher
figure.
We want a good agent in every neighbor
hood throughout the country, to solicit par
chasers, and any agent, to be successful,
must have a Pencil and prize to exhibit.—
We pay agents $1 cash fur each purchaser he
obtains, and the first person in any neighbor
hood who applies for a Pencil and gift, will
receive the agency fur that locality. Should
an agent obtain a valuable prize to exhibit
with hit Pencil, he would have little difficul
ty in obtaining scores of purchasers. and
making it a paying business. ,
A NEW IDEA! RE-tD!! READ!!!—We
ask nobody to send their annoy till they know
what prise they draw. Any person wishing
to try their luck, can first send us their name
and address, and we will make their drawing
and inform them by return mail what prise
they drew, when they can send on and take
the Pencil and prize, or not, whichever they
choose. We give this pris ilege only once to
a purchaser. After the first drawing, every
purchaser will be required to send in advance,
through the authorized agent. We will send
with each drawing the number taken out,
with full description of the plan of drawing.

Important Discovery.
OON'sUiIISTION and all Diseases of the
Lungs and Throat are positively Cured
by Inhalation, which conveys the remedies
to the cavities in the lung 4 through the iii
passages, end coining in direct contact with
the disease, neutralizes the tubercular matter,
allays the cough. causes a free and easy ex
pectoration,' heals the lungs, purifies the
blood. imparts renewed vitality to the nervous
system. giving that tone and energy so indis
pensable for the restoration of health. To be
able to stateconfidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation. is to me a source of
unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under the
control of medical treatment as any other for
midable disease : ninety oat of every hundred
cases can be cured in the first stages, and fifty
per cent. in the second but in the third stage
it is impossible to save more than five per
cent , for the Lungs are so cut up by the dis
ease as to bid defiance to medical skill.—
Even, however. in the last stages, Inhalation
affords extraordinary relief to the suffering
attending this fearful scourge, which annually
destroys ninety-five thonsand persons ir. the
United States alone and a correct calculation
shows that of the present population of the
earth, eighty millions are destined to fill the
Consoniptive's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
lktal as Consumption. In all ages it has
been the greit enemy of life, for it spares
neither age-nor sex. bat sweeps off alike the
brave. the beautiful, the gracefel and the
gifted. By the help of•that Supreme Being
from whom cometh every good and perfect
gilt, I am enabled to offer to the afflicted a
permanent and speedy cure in Consumption.
The first cause of tubercles is from impure
blood, and the immediate effect produced by
their deposition in the lungs is to prevent the
free admission of sir into the air cells, which
causes a weakened vitality through the entire
system. Then surely it is more rational to ex
pect greater good from medicines entering the
cavities of the longs than from those admin
ignored through the stomach : the patient will
always find the lungs free and the breathing
easy, after Inhaling remedies. Thus, Inhala
tion is a local remedy, nevertheless it acts
constitutionally, and with more power and
certainty than remedies administered by the
stomach. To prove the powerful and direct
influence of this mode -of administriteon,
chloroform inhaled will enkire'y destroy sensi
bility in a few minutes. paralysing the entire
nervous sptein. so that a limb may he am
putated without the slightest pain : inhaling
the ordinary burning gas will destroy life in a
few hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
system when fainting or apparently dead.—
The odor of many of the medicines is percepti
ble in the skin a few gnitiutes after being in
haled. and may be immediately detected in
the blood. A convincing proot r of the consti
tutional effects of inhalation, is the fact that
sickness is always produced by breathing foul
air—is not this positive evidence that proper
remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously
administered through the lungs should pro
duce the happiest results? During eighteen
years' practice. many thousands suffering
from diseases of the lun g s and throat, have
been under my care, and I bare effected many
remarkable cures, even after the sufferers hail
been pronounced in the last stages. which
fully satisfies me that consumption is no
longer a fatal disease. ,Nly treatment of con
sumption is original, and founded on long ex
perience and a thorough investigation. My
perfect acquaintance with the nature of tuber
cles, 4k.c., enables me to distinguish readily,
the various forms of disease that simulate con
gumption, and apply the proper remedies, rare
ly being mistaken even ins single case. This
familiarity, in connection with certain patho
logical and microscopic• discoveries, enables
me to relieve the lungs from the effects of con
tracted chests, to enlarge the chest, purify the
blood, impart to it renewed vitality, giving
energy and LOW to the entire system.
Medicines with full directions sent to any
part of the Muted States and Canticles by
patients communicating their symptoms by
letter. But the cars would be more certain if
the patient should pay me a visit, which
would give me an opportunity to examine the
limp and enable me to prescribe with touch
greater certainty, and then the cure could be
effected without my seeing the patient again.
