WASHINGToN, May 81.
The trials of Houston and Heard are assigned for
this day three weeks. Both will be convicted and
punished 10 the extent of the law. | have learned
that the District Attorney declared that he could
not sustnin Indictment for assault with intent to
XIII against lfouSt0n and that he has been indicted
Tor assault and battery. But it will probably be
treated as an aggravated case of assault and bat
terry and punished with fine and Imprisonment.

From that time this study became his chief pursuit, and he visited several countries for the nurpose. of prosecuting his favorite researches, and at the same time giving public lectures on his favor- i,e subject.

 Baton Rouge, Oct. eO.-An inquest was held on Monday last by the Coroner of this parish, oyer the body of an Indian found in the woods near this town. The hole in which the body had been buried was so shal- low as not to let it more than half below the surface of the ground .the loose earth and some pieces of decayed wood serving to con- ceal, perhaps, the body at the time of inter. ment, but the rains had washed the earth from several parts of the body. On examina- tion it was found he had been stabbed with a dirk or some other sharp instrument ln two places.-We have heard that some evenings since, as gentleman was riding into town, in the neighbOrhOod where the body was found he saw two Indians have hold Ofa third one by the arms, saying they were going to kill him, as he had killed his wife. This being viewed as drunken threat, did not excite in the gentleman any suspicious Of what was DO doubt their real purpose. There can be no doubt of his having fallen by the hands of his fellows, according to the law of their tribe.- The execution ofthe law is committed to the hands of the relatives of the murdered person. for the purpose fappeasing his or her nanes, and is with few exceptions, submitted to with stoical indifference.

UNAccouNTABLE OccURRENCH.-- -Lake oG G;eneun, .SspifzerIand, Aug. I8.-Tile extraor- dinary heat which prevailed alTIost without | Interruption for nine weeks has Ipr oduced phe- u0uheUa in the countries bordering on our lake, to which there is no Parallel on record. At Geneva a sPontafcdty, combustion took place in the church-yArJ. of Pine Palais. al- though in rather damn plain. The high grass on the graves u.e cypress and fir trees took fire, and it Svss necessary tO bring the engines to extsn6u1sh it, which was effected, but sot without difficulty. A more remarka- bIe event took TIlace in Sasoy, near the village Of Masiand. lprovince of FSucigny.) All at once the alarm bell was sounded. not Oniy in the village, but the whole surrounding cOun- trys ans. in the valley, to summon the inhabl-
 tams with all speed to extiDguish a dangerous
 fire of kind hitherto unheard of for u was @ not houses or trees, or heath thatwas burn ing, but the roofs of the trees two feet under ground. This strange fire began at Seine, (in the commune ofArrache) nothing appeared on the surface !; the fnrze and bushes were untouched till at once several trees fell. and were then consumed by the fire that burnt from their roots. The people, indeed. feiled the wood that the fire might not spread. and would willingly have turned up the ground tO extinguish the fire that was burning at the roots, but in the terrible drought where were they to get water! This subterraneous fire. therefore, consumed g5O acres of fine forest. The fear of inc snbterraneous fire had such an effect on inc inhabitants that many villa gcs, for instance ColsaDe, were wholly desert ed, and as the people were also afraid of go ing into the forest, they remained exposed to the schorching rays of the sun, (generally l1s degrees Fahrenheit) in the naked plain. where the wells began to dry up. This subterrane- sO,ls fire is close connected with the flames which atthe same time issued from the earth in several places in Lausanne. The rain which came few days ago, and considera- bly lowered the temperature. seems to nave checked this fire, though many persons fear that the rain was by no means of sufficiently long continuance to penetrate so deep into the earth as to'rcmnve all danger of the fires beginning again. on the return of hoi aud dry weather, such as seems to be setting in.

APPLICATION OF LIME.
FEBRUARY 8, 1882.

Mr.. Smith,-In answer to the inqui-
ries of your correspondent, in the doth
number ofthe presentvolume OF the Far
mer, respecting the quantity of lime ne
cessary to be applied to stiff clay land and
sandy soils" | will endeavour to give
you what little knowledge and expert
ence have in the use Of that highly i'm
portant manure.
have found that stiff clay land re-
quires a greater quantity of lime, than
light OF sandy soils, and generally put
on the former one hundred bushels to
the acre its effects are hardly ever seen
the first season unless put OH ploughed
ground, In order to obtain immediate
advantage from it, plough the ground
intended for corn in the fall preceding,
in order to get the lime out as early in
the spring as possible; which | have
spread Immediately before corn planting,
if the season is not extraordinarily dry {:
its effects will be evident in the growth
of the corn. l have pursued the same
course on worn out lands, where scarcely
spear ofgrass was to be seen five years
ago, and which are now producing as
good crops as the richest limestone land
/ have. This land was naturally thin,
intermixed with slate, iron ore, and iron
pyrites, and the quantity of lime used a
bout seventy bushels to the acre.
Another method pursued by some We
ry good farmers in renovatiDg worn out
lands, is to apply fifty bushels Of lime to
the acre, evenly spread on the sod, which,
after the first season, will produce good
pasture from the growth of the natural
grass after using it for a pasturage for
two or three years, it is turned down
and about the same quantity of lime APP
piled on the ploughed ground, which
will then produce good crop of rye,
corn, or oats. A great object with me
has been to produce a good growth oil
clover; when this is once obtained there
is no difficulty in improving the quail.
ty of the land with proper manage
meDt.
If the foregoing remarks are Of any
service to your correspondent he is most
heartily welcome to them, and I hope
they may meet the eye of some of your
good Chester county subscribers, who
have been so much benefited by the use
Of lime, believing, that if am wrong in
my plans, they will be good enough to
set me right. Yours, &c.

Singuldr Adventure.

Some years before the French Revo-
luton, eomPositor at a printing house
left his work shop. He was seized by
four men, who promised that they would
not do him any injury ifhe made no re-
sistance; they tied bandage over his
eyes, and pushed him into a coach. The
poor man did not dare to utter a word
during the whole time he was upon the
road. When they united the baDdage
he found himself in room, in which
were cases filled with characters, and
presses. They ordered him to print
some pamphlets, and many ofthose OBJ
scene books, which have multiplied so
greatly within these few years, and with
such frightfnl audacity.
He was obliged to obey, and was
