PLASTER OF PARIS.

The farmers Of III, neighboring states
have been reaPing immcn,c profits for ma
ny years, from the use of Plaster of Paris
as manure--some intelligent and enter
Prsing farmers of this state have used il
with the happiest effect.
1t is known that great portion OF the
soil of any state answers that description,
OH which this plaster operates most GER
tainly and powerfully.
The following extracts from Judge Pc
ters' valuable publication on the subject
(this book itself ought to be read by every
tarmer) are inserted to induce further sx-
periments -
Quesfie". Hsw long have you used the
Plaster?
HnSUer. About twenty five years.
was among the first who began to use it
in Pennsylvania.
Q. In what condition was your land
when you began to apply it?
n. Worn out by long and bad cul-
ture full of weeds and other noxious
plants.
Q. What quantity per acre have you
generally used2
n. have seldom used more than two
bushels per acrs in one season, but gene
rally one, and one and halfbushels, which
| find sufficient if repeated yearly, whilst
in clover.
Q. What soils are the most proper for
this manure
II. Light soils, dry and sandy, or loa-
my. On clay never succeeded, though
] have heard of its being used in clay with
a degree of success.
q. Have you repeated the application
OF 1t with or without ploughing; at what
intervals, and with what cfc6!s?
n. have beDeGcially repeated the ap-
pllcation, with & without ploughing but
succeed best in repetition after cultivat-
ing and dressing slightly with stable ma.
nure' or with ploughing in green manures,
such as Buck wheat in full blossoms.
2. Do you find that it renders the
earth sterile, after its useful effects were
gone
10 Iperceive no greater degree of ste
rility alter plaster than after dung.

He understood from gentleman who
said he was member of the grand jury,
and who agreed with the deponent in politi-
Cal sentiment, such an attempt would be
futile, as the grand jury would not make
the application,
Question. Do yen believe that you
had such a recollection. Of the charge as
enabled you to state the substance OF it
correctly?
Answer. do,except those parts which
Gas believing them unimportanD did not
notice.
Que.tion. Did the Judge read the
charge or deliver it extempore
Answer. FIe read it from paper.
But frequently appeared to speak extern
pore also. 1t appeared TO a gentle man
(Mr. Carp who made the observation to
me, that many of the observations of the
Judge were drawn forth by the presence
Of some Of the members of the Legislature
of Maryland, who supported the measures
which he condemned.
Question. Have you not given the
charge higher coioriHg, than it received
from him?
Answer. II was my wisl, rather to
nnder-charge than over charge it. Where
ever had doubt erased from my first
sketch. I hoped my publication would
draw forth full publication from the
judge.
The charge as published by Mr.. Chase
(.N1t. Intel. tug. s. 1903. read.
Question. Is this the charge which the
Judge delivered f?
Answer. In some respects it varies
from that which heard. The Judge did
positively say, that The act Of Congress re-
peaIing the Judiciary law was uncousttu-
tional aud expressly asserted the right o!
the court 10 declare the laws unconstitC
tional, These words" am of opinion
that every citizen should have an equal

judge.

dingtcn, whether in the information he
had communicated to the House on Mon
day he distinctly meant 10 assert, that the

was not suspended? And if such was his
meaning, whctherlhat assertion was found
ed on his own knowledge in consequence

Mr.. Add;ngton in reply referred to what
he had said on Monday, wiki the addition
that he had not had personal access to his

been afforded him, whereon he formed
that opinion, he meaut the concurring SEN

Continued in the state in which they were

The application OF so powerful an agent

but be productive Of important effects in

or hurttul, according as it is made with
Judgment or otherwise. Nj. VassaH- Eandi,

ces, has addUced some facts on the sub
ieG deserving the notice of physicians {;
accompanied, however, by pathological
observations, which will in general be
deemed hypothetical, and which we shall,
therefore, pass over. Amongst a variety
ofcases where galvanism was successfully
performed, are the following.
A lady, thirty years of age, after having
suffered long from severe headachs, lost
the sight OF her right eye. TO all APP.
pearance, the organ was as sound as the
other; the affection, therefore, was
attributed 10 a paralytic state Of the optic
nerve. The author constructed pile of
thirty pairs, about the diameter Of a crown.
piece. and used gold wires IS conductors.
He caused the galvanic fluid TO enter near
the external angle of the eye, and to pass
out sometimes a. the eyebrow, sometimes
exactly over the ophthalmic branch Of
nerve which passes through the orbital
foramen, and sometimes at the inner an
gle OF the eye. The operation was pam
ful, and was attended with a considerable
dow OF tears but in the space Of half an
