FOR PRESIDENT,

. Ulysses S. Grant,

Of Illinois.

 

FOR VICE-PRESIDENT,

Schuyler Colfax,

Of Indiana.
Victory for the undue.

Yesterday, the House of Representatives
of our General Assembly passed a bill for a
drawbridge at Lyme, on the Shore Line rail-
road, H a vote of 136 to 92—a clear majori-
ty of for the bridge. The margin is large
enough to assure its passage through the
Senate beyond a possible doubt, for the
members of that body will not be likely to
tempt “witch currents” by stemming. the
tide of public opinion so emphatical y ex-
pressed. This is something tangible. It is
a triumph of public interest over local ca-
price; of state convenience over the trans
ury of corporations; of progress over in-
ertiu ; of the livingfuture over the dead past.
It is not a victory for any section, or over
any section; it will conduceto the ultimate
advantage of every county in the state.

——Nezo Haven Palladium, June 4th.

WWe are more than rejoiced at the suc-
cess of the Bridge enterprises in the interest
of many against the few; but to find such
noble uttranccs in the Palladium fills us
“with joy unspeakable.” Its sentiments are
eminently just, honest and fitting and we
trust its conversion to the popular interests,
though recent, is thorough, sincere and will
be lasting.

We congratulate New Haven, we con-
gratulate Hartford, and especially the peo-
ple of the entire State that a Legislature has
at last assembled within our borders, where
the paid lobby and the sham plea of local
injury (used only as a cover for the selfish
greed of some old monopoly) cannot dbfcat
a great popular demand for a public conven-
ience. The Palladium never uttered truer
words than when it says “it is not a victory
for any sectiop,or over any section, but will
conduce to the ultimate advantage of every
county in the state.” Whatever promotes
the growth and pecuniary interests of one
locality-aids all. Every new railroad, fac-
tory or grist mill erected within our borders
adds to the common prosperity, and when
we so legislate as to draw the men and capi-
ml of othcr’scctions,we are mightily enhanc-

' sing our own good thereby. As we have
said, we hOpc the conversion of our fiiends
of the Palladium is sincere, and when the
question of another railroad out of and into
the commercialmctropdlis of the continent,
comes to be ‘qqnsidered by the Legislature,
the people may h‘tive‘the aid of its earnest ad-
vocacy. The public demand another road,
and there is no more excuse or apology for
deferring it or denying its charter than there
is enacting that but one newspaper shall be
printed in New Haven. A new road is de-
manded by public necessity, by the compe-
tive spirit of the age and by every considera-
tion of justice and equity, and no man 'should
be so shortsighted or selfish as notto wish it,
and all other w, agood-speed.

nghway Repairs d; Obstructions.
To repair highways with soil, tm'f, or the
wash of the streets, from the gutters, is not
. ‘ yafalse economy but a useless extrava-
gupce. In a wet time the travel is obstruct-
ed‘by; the great accumulation of mud and -
when it is 'dry there-is a continual fog of
dust; so' by the time the season is over near-
ly the entire quantity Of material used has
been either washed into the gutters or blown
away in dust and all the while the highways
.e been a nuis nice fo‘fo’ot and carriage

nbt with an , j d," u ,of great detriment
to tbe‘community, for decomposing vegeta-
ble matter is extremely dangerous to the
public health. Thib is not as it should be.
All nuisances should at once he abated and
the sooner it is determined to require the
use of only such substances for the repairs
of highways as are free from soil or loam,
the sooner will the highways assume a better
condition and the tax-payers derive some
benefit from the money expended.

One word about the low hanging branch-
es of trees. Why are they permitted to an-
nOy and obstruct travel ‘2‘ Is it not the duty
of some official to keep the highways (Tee
of obstructions ? Yet there, is scarcely a
street or highway free from this annoyance.

 
 

 

WThe beautiful specimen of the English
Pink Hawthorne ought-to be in bloom
from the 6th to the 15th of.June, at Key-
scr’s Island. It is located in the east
door yard, near the carriage road, and all
lovers of the beautiful should not miss the
sight Its rare and peculiar fragrance is giv-
on out strongestin theearly morning.

 

WWe regret to learn of the demise of
Mr. George L. Townsend of the Waterbury
American, who died after a long and very
severe sickness on Friday morning last. .Mr.
Townsend, has been connected with the
American for the past 17 years, and was an
honest and indefatiguable worker; in fact
overworked, was probably the cause of his
breaking down. His Father-in-law Mr.
Hurlbutt, publisher of the American died
but a few months before, and the senior Mr.
Cooke, for anumber of months had been
confined to his house with paralysis, hence
the immense labor of conducting the daily
and weekly came upon him, alas only to

break down and crush him. He had made .

a host of friends by his kind, genial, even
temperament, who will sadly miss him from
their midst.

 

A GOOD MOVE—We are rejoiced to see
that Mr. Legrand Lockwood has come to the
rescue of such poor mortals as may be com-
pelled to drive over West Avenue, at least in
so far as his own exteded front on that
abominably conditioned highway is concern-
ed. He has commenced grading, graveling,
and guttering the east side of the avenue,
from the residence of our discouraged High-
way Superintendent to Gosling Brook. May
many follow his example. It was once our
fortune to be shipwrecked in a washtub of a
propeller off Hatteras. Our sensations on .
that occasion were peculiar, especially when
a mighty wave sent us pounding on a sand
bar. The nearest we have ever come to a
repetition of those sensations is when com-
pelled to drive over West Avenue. Oh, how
long ?

 

WCampbell, the Confectioner and Ice
Cream man, near the head of Main st. has
felt emboldened by the few days of warm
weather to start up his favorite saloon once
again, with D’Artois‘ renowned and some-
what famous-Ice Cream. Soda Water with
the choicest of cream and other syrups, also
on draught fi-om his fountain. He is deter-
mined not to be outdone by any. See his

W The Brakemen on the Danbury &
Norwalk Railroad have been uniformed for
several days. The New York &New Haven
Railroad uniformed its conductors immedi-
ately after the Danbury set them the exam-
ple, and it is now about time that they dresa
ed up their brakemen. They ought to get
within two weeks of the Danbury, certainly.
O

A CLosE SHAVE—One of the cars of the
morning train on the D. 85 N. R. R., on Fri-
day morning, came near being crushed by
the falling of a rock from the top of the out
just above Bedding station. It was probably
detached by the jar of the train, and in its‘
fall it struck the rear truck of the rear car,
nearly demolishing that and completely
wrecking the brake apparatus. It was very
fortunate that no more serious. damage was
caused by it. '

New England Agricultural Society.

The officers of the New England Agricul-
tural Society have perfected an arrangement
by which the next annual fair will be held
in New Haven during the first week in Sep-
tember, probably commencing on the first of
the month and continuing four days, The
posters and programmes will be issued in
June, and the list of premiums, which Will
not be inferior to any before offered by the
society, will soon be announced. The offi-
cers are determined to bring to this great
annual gathering of the farmers of N ew Eng-
land the largest and best collection of horses,
cattle, sheep, swine, poultry and agricultur-
al instruments ever gathered in the United
States, and they will be seconded by the offi-
cers of the Connecticut Agricultural Society
whose board have decided not to hold any
independent exhibition this year, but, unite
with the New England Association. The
Massachusetts Ploughman, in announcing
the fair, congratulates New Haven upon its
success in having secured the honor of hav-
ing held Within its limits the fifth fair of the
New England Agricultural Society, and says
the multitude of strangers always gathered
at these exhibitions suggests that our citizens
make active efforts to provide boarding and
lodging during the time of the fair, We
doubtnot that. the people of New Haven
will see that ample accommodhtions will be
furnished for the thousands of people who
will be in attendance.

 

E‘Betwcen midnight Thursday and sun-
rise Friday morning, a gang of men 'with
ox teams, &c., scraped and took away for
quite a distance, the hill just north of the
row of brick buildings on the east'side of
Main Street. Being done in the night time
it was probably unauthorized. At present
any travel by teams over the hill is rendered
impossible.

#

WThc Legislature, are to have under
consideration, the present week, a general
Railroad Law Bill. Such alaw has long
been in existence in Ohio, New York and
other states and found to work well. Full
half the time of every session in Ct. is occu-
pied in some Railroad fight, which this law
would obviate and better than all, it would
disperse the Army of paid ‘and professional
lobbyists who now nearly bore a members
life out of him.

 

FOR Roommates—Messrs. Uhle Bros.
druggists,Main street, knowing the difficulty
good housewives labor under in getting
good and pure extracts for flavoring their
sauces, puddings, cream, pastry &c., in order
to befriend them and render it certain that
the article they buy is really what it pro-
tends to be, now put up in neat cases, for
family use, choice and pure extracts of their
own preparation, of the most valuable and
fashionable flavors, such as Vanilla, Lemon,
Orange, Pine Apple, Strawberry, Peach,
Pear, Apple, Celery, Rose, Cinnamon, Gin-
ger, Nutmeg, &c., 850. They are in cases of
a dozen small bottles each, and are so nice
and handy for cOoking purposes that every
family ought to kecpa case constantly on
hand. We are glad to learn this effort of
theirs to please is already well appreciated
by the public at large.

More Drawers Wanted.

We notice that a resolution was before the
house on Friday last directing the messen-
gers to place new drawers under the seatshof
the, members, which elicited considerable
debate, some of the members being desirous
that the resolution should pass, while othe rs
were Opposed. Father Bennett of Hunt-i ng-
ton being in opposition thereto, one of the
members suggested that his drawers were
in'good order yet, as he had been so mu ch
of the time on his fect. HOW is it Father B.

 

 

W A genuine shock of earthquake was
experienced in this town, at six o’clock this
Wednesday morning. ‘ It was felt in different

to shake buildings—Bantam] Times

W The earthquake above noticed was
evidently the shock caused by the explosion
of 10,000 pounds of powder in a powder

shreds and the mills was completely destroy-
ed. The watchman fortunately was the only

BLUEFISH—Once more these vOracious‘fish
have made their appearance in our waters,
and are taken plentifully by our fishermen.
They are at present rather lean, and blue
looking, but furnish fine sport in taking
them. We cordially invite all who are in
love with good fishing, to come now and
give them atrial. Boats, lines, good boat-
men and everything necessary for a first-_
class fishing excursion are to be found here
in plenty, and we believe at reasonable rates.

‘ —Nanfucket_ Enquirer.

WThat’s so, Mr. Enquirer,'and we think
you’ll have a few callers this coming sum-
mer to try a hand at the sport. Your staid,
quiet old town seems to be yearly gaining
favor with excursionists and pleasure seek—
ers. It ought to be a favorite haunt for
health seekers also, for surely the steady,
pure Ocean breeze cannot but be most

healthful and enervating to all.

NEW TURN OUT—Mr. E. P. Harvey, late
agent in this place for the Merchants Union
Express Co., has just had built for him by
Messrs. Quintard &. Smith, a very superior
and elegant Express wagon, which he in-
tends running as a City Baggage Express.
He is also agent here for the express of the
D, '& N. R. R, and which our merchants will
do well to bear in mind, has a connection per
steamer Nelly White, with the Soldiers Mes-
senger and Express Association in New
York city. Since. the withdrawal of the
Merchants Union from this route the old
Adams Co. seem to have again returned to
their exhorbitant chargesfor carrying parcels,
but now, thanks to the Danbury & Norwalk
Railroad Company, our people have it in
their own hands again to patronize an ex-
press that will carry at reasonable rates.
Mr. A. N. Thomas, an experienced agent, is
stationed at the wharf foot of Market Street,
N. Y.. A word to the wise is sutiicent.

m

WA cause of constant grumbling and
complaining is the persistent action of the
Borough Board of Burgesses in using Kero-"
sene instead of Gas for Ofir street lamps. In
some cases the lamps give a fair light in oth-
ers they are hardly equal to a first-class
lightening bug, and now as the season ap-
proaches for their annual illuminating ap-w
pearances, would it not be well for the Bur-
gesses to stretch their economical streak a
little further and do away with the street
lamps entirely, for really it does seem hard
to collect taxes for such lights as we have
had the present season; either give us good
or cut off the expense entirely.

W‘James Buchanan, the fifteenth Presi-
dent of the United States, died at his home
at Wheatland, Pa., on the lst inst. He was
born in Franklin County, Pa., April 22d,
1791 ; graduated from Dickinson College in
1809; was admitted to the bar in 1812 ; en-
tered the Pennsylvania legislature in 1814 ;
was sent to Congress in 1820 ; took a seat in
the Senate in 1833 ; went to Russia as lulu-
ister in 1834; Was Secretary of State in Mr.
Polkls cabinet; was appointed minister to
England by President Pierce, and, and on
his return to this country in 1856, was him-
self elected President. His age was seventy-
seven years.

Gen. Grant.

All interest, of course, now-a-days centers
upon Grant, our noble and gallant standard-
bearer, and everything pertaining to him is
of interest to the masses. But of all things,
the most valudble at the present time is a
good, truthful and accurate portrait of our
great leader. Such a portrait, we are as-
sured, is the one just issued by Messrs. Tick-
nor & Fields, the renowned Book Publish-
ers of Boston. It is a large line engraving
by the talented artist Marshall, from his
own painting executed at the headquarters
of the General at Washington, and is vouch-
ed for as being perfect, by members of the
General’s own family and his -' intimate
friends. It is just the picture of all others,
with which to adorn our parlors and also
especially our club rooms during the pres-
ent campaign, for we all want to become fa-
miliar with the facial lineament of the great-
est captain of the age, and in order to do so
we want in conspicuous position the most
truthful and life-like portrait of him that can
be obtained.

In addition to its truthfulness as a por-
trait, it is claimed to be very superior as a
work of art—the author, Wm. E. Marshall,
being an artist of great repute and who won
much high commendation fl‘om his brother
artists and the public at large with his por-
traits of Washington and Lincoln.

to all thirsty souls. The Fountain is a
splendid elegantly mounted Excelsior patent

prising proprietors are to keep constantly on

on humanity it is to flog men, for while he

seen man an unfortunate mariner brutally
beaten. Taturally enough, Mr. Dana thinks
that if cruelty is illfitted for the moral dis-
cipline of men, it is equally illfitted fora like
training of children. He has, therefore, sup-
ported with his usual ability the bill for abol-
ishing corporal punishment in the schools,

How TnE CmNEsE EMBASSY APPEAR.—
At the interview of the Chinese embassy
with President Johnson, Minister Burlin-
game and the two secretaries were . dressed
in plain black suits without insignia. The
two chief Mandarins were attired in gorge-
ous figured and highly wrought silk gowns,
girdled with silk and jeweled cording, and
wearing sashes of their rank and office ef
peculiar richness and brilliancy. On their
heads they wore peculiarly shaped sun-down
straw hats, which were covered with a loose
flowing, deep red fringing. From the top of
the center of these hats was suspended a

lass ornament surrounded with jewels.

it?” General Butler tells the following
ood story: While he was in command In
New Grleans, a native Louisianian was ob-
served one day by a wag, reeding a staring
placard on alwall in the pubhc street, “ Buy
.your shirts at Moody’s” ihe reader inquired
of the wag what that meant. “Ghl’ said
the joker in a solemn tone, “ that is one of
the edicts of the tyrannical Buttler.” The
Louisianian remarked: “ But I don’t want
any shirts.” “Well," said the wag, “ you’d
better buy a few. It is the safest to com-
ply with the order, for Butler is a per-
fect despot, you know.” So the frightened
Creole sought out Moody, and bou ht a
quarter dozen shirts. In due time a aris
aper arrived in New Orleans, in which the
acts were narrated, as proving that Butler
was :both tyrannical and mean; using his
power to compel citizens to buy shirts of one
Moody,who was undoubtedly his pgrtner.

Connecticut Railroads. "
On Wednesday the Connecticut House of
Representatives passed a resolution iving
to the Shore Line Railroad permiss on to
builds bridgle over the Connecticut river at
Saybrook. he necessity for this improve-
ment in the railroad communication between
New York and Boston will be at once recog-
nized by every one who has occasion to
travel between these two laces. At pres-
ent, all freight, and some 0 the passengers,
going over that part of the line which ex-
tends from New Haven to Stonington, have
to cross two ferries, one over the Connecticut
river at Saybrook, and the other over the
Thames at New London. The first of these
breaks it is now proposed to obviate by a
bridge: and ifthis can be effected, the re-
moval of the second will follow, we pre-
sume, very shortly.

It is feared, howevcr,that the opposition of
the Hartford and New Haven Railroad Com-
pany may yet prevent the Making of this
much needed improvement, as it has been
doing for many years past. The delays in
cident to the two ferries we have mentioned
have the efi‘ect of diverting travel to Boston
northward to Hartford, and thence by the
way of Springfield and Worcester, thus con-
sequently benefiting the Hartford road. Mr.
Vanderbilt, who owns a controlling interest
in that road,- has not, of course, been lacking
in efforts to prevent anything being done to
the advantage of the rival line; and‘ we may
look fora repetition in the Connecticut Sen-
ate of those same manoeuvres a ainst the
resolution passed by the House of epresen-
tatives, which were tried in Albany last
winter against legislation on behalf of the
Ericdlailway. Should his efforts be succes s-
ful, this city will be the sufferer, since eve
obstructiontofree communication between 1t
and other places deprives it of so much life-
blood of trade and manufactures ; and Mr.
Vanderbilt, by‘ diminishing the facilities of
access to it, Will show, as he has shown by
his policy toward the Erie Railway Compa-
ny, his 0 aracteristic disregard of the public
interests when they seem to interfere with
his own.

Another improvement which COnnecticut
needs in her railway system is also oppOsed
and for the present prevented, by Mr. Van-
derbilt. The existing railroad from New
York to New Haven is not only eleven
miles longer than a straight line, but twenty
miles of it is included in the track of the
Harlem railroad. The consequence is, that
the whole railroad traflic of New England,
bound for New York, is not on] delayed by
the useless length of the New {laven line,
but, after it reaches the Harlem road, meets
the stream of local travel, and thus train has
to follow train with the dangerous interval,
in some Cases, of but a few minutes. A pro-
ject is on foot to remedy this inconvenience
py building a new railroad directly from

ew Haven to New York, thus shorten-
ing the distancc,and avoiding the thronged
Harlem track ; but it consummation has thus
far been defeated by Mr. Vanderbilt in the in-
terest of the old New Haven and the Har-
lem roads, of which he owns the majority of
the stock. What is really needed in Connec-

in this state allowing the construction of
railroads without a special charter; a gener—
al permissiOn to build bridges wherever they
may be required ; and sufficient public spir-
it in the people to avail themselves of these
privileges, and thus override the monopo-
lists who are sacrificin the welfare of the
State to their own.—— . Y. Sun. '

Touching Incident.

An affecting occurrence took place some
time ago in a seaboard town in England.
Six little children got into a boat on the
beach, and a mischievous boy shoving it off,
the boat drifted away to sea before the chil-
dren were missed. l‘errible was the agony
of the mothers when they knew it. A num-
ber of men went off in all directions, every
boat was on the lookout until far in the
night. Daylight returned, and still there was
no tidings from the helpless children: the
day wore away, and still nothing was heard
from them. hey were either lost on the
wide ocean or buried in the unfathomable

 

 

 
 

depths

A Plymouth fisherm , fishing early next
nfbrning, dis red omething floating in
a distance, h wn to it, discovered it

to be a boat, a n the bottom six children
all bundled together like a nest of birds fast
asleep—God having given that blessed so-
lace after a day Of terror and despair. He
took them aboard and gladdencd their de-
spairing little hearts with the pmmisc of
taking them home. Between three and four
o’clock in the afternoon, the fisherman was
seen in the offing, the boat asters. All eyes
were turned towards him; the best spy
glasses in town were rubbed again and
again, and at last they could fairly see that
it was the identical boat. The news flew
through the town—the mothers came frantic
to the beach, for there were no children dis-
covered in the boat; none to be seen in the
sloop. '

Intense wa's the agony of suspicion, and all
alike shared it with the parents. At last
the boat came" in, and word went-round
“they are safe;" and many stout hearted
men burst into tears, women shrieked with
joy, and became almost frantic with their
unsupportable happiness. It was indeed a
memorable day; and a prayer, eloquent for
its rough simplicity, was offered up to Al-
mighty God, who, in his infinite mercy,
had spared these innocent children from the
perils and terrors of the sea during that fear-
ful night. Five of these children were un-
der five years of age, and the sixth was but
nine years old.

PLANT A GRAPE VINE—Every person
who has the control of a square rod of
ground, whereupon a plant may grow, can
scarcel do better than to set a grape vine
of the oncord Isabella or Diana varieties
The first cost is trifling, and the after care of
them more of a pleasure than a task. The
grape is not only palatable and nutritious to
those that are well, but is exceedingly grate-
ful to those that are sick, giving tone to the
alimentary canal.

earth to the depth of two or three feet, and
fill up ten inches with coarse manure of any
sort, old bones, oyster shells, etc., and then
throw in rich loam; into this rake a few
quarts of house ashes, and then fill up with ~
loam and compost manure, and the soil is
read for the root. .

A er the plant is set scatter on'strawy
manure or leaves, aad through the summer,
occasionally throw upon this the c'ontents of
the tubs on washing days. A. J. Downing
late editor of the. Horticulturist, says: “I
have seen the Isabella grape produce 3,000
fine clusters of well-ripened fruit in a season,
by the liberal use of soap-suds from the
weekly wash.”

The effect Of soap-suds on other plants is
somewhat surprising: A cypress vine which
had remained stationary for a fortnight,
.when about two inches high, immediately
commenced growing after a good watering
with soap-suds, and grew about six inches
the first five days. _

With a little care this may be well done
by any one who has never attempted it be-
fore. Under this treatment, in the course of
two or three years, you will be amply repaid
by a most beautiful crop of luscious grapes,
and greatly ornamental tO the grounds and
dwelling. ' '

Prumny.—The grape vine bleeds rapidly.
Never prime it at all until the vine has small
branches in order to push forward large and
vigorous roots. Late in October and N o-
vember is the proper time—never when the
sap is in motion in the Spring. As the fruit
grows on new wood every year, in pruning
it is necessary . to cut back the branches
within two or three eyes of the main stem
The cultivator will find plain directions in
Cole’s fruit book, which costs but fifty cents,
and it will enable him to see the whole ope.
ration illustrated with engravings.

Never pinch of the leaves to aid in ripen-
ing the fruit, they are placed there for the

The bill incorporating the Connecticut and
Western Railway was taken up and consid-
ered. The bill came from the House, having

concurred with- the House in some of the
amendments and refused to concur on others
The bill as amended was passed.

tent or booth for sale near a fair or exhibi-
tion, shall be fined $5, and that no exhibi-
tion, swing, Whirligig, &c., shall be set up
within a mile of any agricultural fair with-
out consent, under a penalty of $7, was read
and referred.

A bill for ct permitting the Board of
Registratio act in the second voting dis-
trict of NO the Tuesday before election

we! referred.

Mr. Minor, of Stamford, moved to take up
the order of the day—tho/Air Line Railroad
petition.The resolution to amend the charte r
of the Air’Line Railroad was taken up.

Mr. Eaton said if this bill was like the one
passed by the House yesterday, his own re-
spect and his regard for the opinions of the
House would prevent him from saying a
word.‘ He, therefore, should take a different
action. He therefore moved to indefinitely
postpone.

Mr. Minor, of Stamford, gave the history
of the application, and the action of the com-
mittee and legislature last year. The bill
now proposes to restore the section giving a
draw bridge. The bill contains provisions
to protect all the river interests.

Mr. Spraguc, of New Britain, said his con-
stituents were interested. They sent from
30,000 to 40,000 tons down the river, and they
believed the bridge would injure their inter-
ests. The natural rights of the people Were
trespassed upon by these bridges.

Mr. Hall,of Meriden,thought New Britain
came here with poor grace t oppose this
bridge. It was itself the crea e ofa rail-
road. The road opened up a great isolated
country, and hence its need. This bridge
was to be the width of the channel. He be-
lieved that the opposition to this road did
not c5me fl‘om those interested in navigation
for the were in favor of a road to run paral-
lel wi the river, which would take away
the river trade.

Mr. Hotchkiss of Bethany, thought the bill
ought to pass. He felt friendly to Hartford.
He would yote for the river road, and also
for this bridge, because it would benefit the
river road to connect with it. He moved the
previous question; ordered.

The vote was then taken, resulting as fol-
lows: Yeas 74. Nays 121.

The motion to pat-pone was declared lost
and the bill was then passed.

Statement of Professor James C. Booth, of the results of
Croasdalcjs Super-Phosphate on ln‘sfarm of 60 acres,
mar White Hall, Del. 00., Pa., during the term of
five years. -

The returns are the cash receipts, after deducting
the purchase of only the feed and seed. The number
of cows are added to show, lst: That a considerable
amount of cash has been expended in this purchase.
2d: That a farm can gardually dispense or diminish
with the purchase of fertilizers, by increasing its home
' roductiou of manure: The cash returns of 1S61 show

ow poor the 60 acres were before using the Phoshate.

To the last cash account of 1865, and to the value of

the number of cows, should be. added the very large

increase of fodder and mums, and the greatly in-
creafcd fertility of the soil.
