Lime has heretofore been beyond our.reacf
and our hopes. Bat from the accider4 ming
Of the soil Of neighDoring county in
tue course of the las. wear, we now entoX the
belief that It may ultimately be furnshedh such
quantities and for such prices as viii Justify its
application as a manure Of lands. The soil was
undcrllid with species Of rock that no person
hid drcampt Of being limestone: but the first
rain that tell after the fire, the rock Stacked and
furnished quantity OF fine lime. The quarries
from which the rock were obtained are abol-th n

II North Carolina had appointed a cor
Petent Geologist 70 years ago to survel
the state, at an expense of only feJ
thousand dollars, her wealth might bv thi'
time have been increased many milliors
from the proper application Of her beds d
lime,
! If the education of our farmers son5
were such as it ought to be, and such as
it might be at but little expense, no bed
Of lime stone lying about the surface of the
earth would remain So many years in long
settled neighborhoods without its nature
being discoyered.-Chtrdp Go=ette.
We were told by a gentleman who pas.
sed thro' this place a few days ago, and
who resides in the Northern part of Mis-
sjssippi, that at the last Court m his eoun-
Y, there were upwards of 400 cases on
the Docket. 1t was common, (he says,l
in some counties, to see between so and
100 Attorneys attending the same Court.
\ single Justice of the Peace has lurisdic.
ton in giving Judgment on all sums under
500. With Us the office of Justice is one
Of honor alone, but there they have stated
fees for work and labor done, and we I'M
derstand that the office of Squire in Town
there, is more sought after than that
District Judge.-Carolina Gdsette.
