INVALID MARRIACEs.-Al late decision
in the cour: Of Queens Bench. Ireland,
declaring that marriages in the British do
mnions, solemnized by Presbyterian cler-
gymen, are invalid, has thrown the whole
Presbyterian community into the utmost
CONSERVATION. A case something similar
10 the above once occurred 10 one of the
New Eng and States. By decision Of the
court it appeared tina, all the maria ges
that had been celebrated in the state for n
year or two were illegal. 1t was found
necessary to resort 10 special Legislative
enactment, 10 make the marriages valid.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE-REPEAL OF
THE DISTRIBUTION LAW.

By the mail Of this morning we received
the Message Of John Tyler, to Congress,
proposing a repeal of the law approprlatng
the proceeds arising from the sale of the
public lands to the States. The Intelligent
Ger characterizes the distribution as the
"mos, vital measure Of whig policy, and
almost the only fruit of the political revo-
luton which placed the wings in MAORI
ty in the Government" and says, "lhls gil
wing and taking back seems but chld's
play" and of course opposes the repeal.
The suicidal measures Of the extra session
may indeed be chiId's play to the federal
leaders, but it has been death 10 the honor
and integrity of the government, which
from state Of prosperity, has been redu-
ced 10 bankruptcy and degradation, and the
sooner these measures are repealed, the
better.--- Ohio Statesman.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERs.-HartM asse,

IMPORTANT TO FARMERs.-Hart Massey
Esq, of this village, took small portion
OF the seed corn with which he planted a
field, and soaked it in a solution Of salt nj
tire, commonly called salt petre, and plant
ed five rows with the seed thus prepared.
Now for the result: The five rows plant
ed with corn prepared with sal,-pelre, yield
ed more than % rows planted without any
preparation. The five rows were untouched
by the worms, while the remainder of the
field suffered severely from their depreda-
tons. We should judge that not one kur-
mel, saturated with salt-pe,re was touched,
while almost every hill in the adjoining
row suffered severely. No one who will
examine the field can doubt the efficacy Of
the preparation. He will be astonished at
the striking difference between the five
rows and the remainder Of the field.
Here is simple fact, which is seasonal
bly, known would have saved many thou
sands Of dollars TO the farmers Of this coun-
ty alone, in the article Of corn. 1t is
fact which should be universally known,
and is, in all probability, one Of the great
est discoveries Of modern times in the much
neglected science Of agriculture. At all
events, the experiment should be extensive
ly tested, as the results are deemed certain
while the expense is comparatively moth
ing.
Mr.. NJ. also stated as to the result of
another experiment tried on one Of his ap-
pie trees, last spring. 1t is a fine, thrifty
healthy tree, about twenty five or thirty
years old, but has never in any one year
produced over about two bushels of apples.
While in blossom last spring, he assembled
the tree and sprinkled plaster freely on the
blossoms, and the result is, that it will this
season yield twenty bushels of apples
Now if the plaster will prevent the blast, it
is discovery of great Importance. Mr..
M. was led TO make the experiment by
reading an account Of trees adjoining a
meadow, where the plaster had been sown
at time when there was light breeze in
the direction Of the orchard, the trees con-
tiguous to the meadow bearing well, while
the others produced no fruit.

THE CASE OF THE CREoLE.-Mr Web
s,er in his letter to Mr.. Everett, having in
s,rucled him TO demand Of the British Co
yernment full indemnifcation for the loss
of property on board the Creole, it has
rendered the subject one of general COM
ment at this time: hence we re-publish a
brief recapiulation Of the facts in the case,
from the N. Y. Herald
"The case Of the Creole was pecul-
ary hard one. A bona fde merchant ves-
sci belonging TO the United States, from a
United States port towards another port,
with certain passengers, merchandise, and
several negroes; after being out at sea a
few days, these negroes revolt, commit
murder, and all sorts of outrages, seize the
vessel, plumber the cabin, dress themselves
out in some Of the stolen articles, and COM
mand those connected with the vessel to
take her into a British port; and according
ly, under force, they are compelled to run
the vessel into port of one of the British
West India Islands. On the outrage reach
ing this stage, the duty Of the British au-
thorities was clear and distinct. They
should have aided the captain and crew in
securing every one Of the negroes, put
them in irons, put the ship in proper order,
that the captain might bring back the ne
groes to the port Of Richmond, whence
they started, and have them tried for muir
der and piracy.
"This is what they ought TO have done:
now what did they do? They came off TO
the vessel; added insults to the injuries the
captain, passengers, and crew had already
received; took sides Immediately with the
thieves and murderers; allowed them to
plumber the vessel and retain possession Of
their il-gotten booty; and made common
cause with the blacks, against the Ameri-
cans; procured one or more vessels to take
all the negroes who wished TO 60 there to
jamaica; and ridiculed the idea of the cap
tain ever being able to claim any recon-
pcnse or satisfaction for these outragcs;
and some even went so far as TO assert that
the captain and crew not only deserved
all the brutal treatment which they had re-
ceivcd, but that if they had been murdered,
they would have got no more than their
deserts" --

From the Detroit Advertiser.
Nil. Courier.

O. Our friend, the postmaster. called
our attention TO the following. Ofcourse ii
is the duty Of every one to conform to the
law, while it exists. Many persons blame
the postmasters when they are only dis
charging their official duty according to
their oaths. 1t is wrong:
Newspaper postdge:-It has been decided
by the pos, master general, on case pres
ented to him recently from this village,
that The words "Mr. and Mrs. Barber to
Doct Mckenzie and lady," written on the
margin of newspaper, are such memo
randum in writing as subjects it to letter
postage.
In another case which also arose at the
pos,-office in this village, and was referred
10 the post master general for his opinion,
he decided that a person who sends news
paper by mail, has no right to sign his own
name upon it; and if he sends a paper,
himself sending it from the printing office,
he must tear of the direction TO himself be-
fore mailing it again, otherwise he will be
subject to letter postage.

PRICE OF REAL EsTATE.-We are in
formed that Mr. ADoLPHUs SPooR, was Of
iered, short time since, ten thousand dot
lars for his truly beautiful farm, situated
in Troy, Walworth county. The farm
consists of $50 acres, about 800 of which
is under fence, and about $40 acres under
n very good state of improvement. the
terms Of purchase offered were, two thou
sand dollars in hand, and the balance in
eight equal annual instruments. with intc-
rest, secured by bond and mortgage upon
the premises. The farm is situated about
thrty-fve miles south west from this place,
on the GAINESVILLE road, and is well situated
as respects timber, water, and prairie.
Mr.. Spoor, like his neighbor, Ma or Mca-
clam, is one of the earliest settlers in The
southeastern part of the Territory, and
both are among our mos. enterprising and
valuable citizens.
In the Spring Of 1888, Mr.. Spoor pur-
chased his land Of Government and paid
5000 for it, or 81 % per acre. When cas-
tern people learn that there are within 80
miles of Milwaukee, thousands Of locations
equally as favorably and advantageously
situated as the farm of Mr.. Spoor. they
can form something of an idea Of the adj
vantages Of moving to Wisconsin.

FROM FLoRIDA.-The Savannah Repub-

lican Of the 1lth mentions as a fact that
the chief Asynocis, with his whole band,
consisting OF d warriors and 81 women
and children, has surrendered to Major
Belknap. Letters from Florida state that
twenty-lhree settlers, soon to be followed
by others, have gone west Of Tampa, the
stronghold of the Indians TO open settle
ment. A block house is to be built for
them by the troops. This is certainly an
important movement Nine Indians have
come in TO Tampa. The Cypress has been
occupied and literally covered with trails
by the troops. Hopes are entertained of
soon bringing the war to another of its
ends which seem as plenty as the mouths
Of the Nile.

Mechanical Irade.--A good trade is
worth thousand dollars to any young
man. 1t is worth more than money as an
inheritance; for this may fail; that never
will if he be industrious. We think we'll
Of those institutions Of learning, where the
tedium of study is occasionally relieved by
employments in some mechanical opera
tons. These promote the health both of
body and mind, and may give the student
a trade, which in the event Of his not be-
ing able to acquire living by his wits,
will still enable him to derive a sure sup
port from profitable labor.

The following we take from the New
Orleans Jetfersonian. Ii is good:
A TEMPERANCE ANECDoTE.-The Wash
lngtonlans are driving a noble business
among the old soakers of this city. On
Thursday evening the church in Poydras
street was literally crammed, and many a
hard drinker we have no doubt was taken
out Of the gutter. Among a great many
pleasant anecdotes related by the speakers
was one defining the unpleasant position of
a certain Deacon who wanted to be tempe
rate without signing the pledge. He had
been importuned to that effect until he be-
came so outraged that he arose, and be-
lore the temperance society, delivered a
speech in favor of moderate drinking. He
was allowed to proceed, and at its termina-
ton he seized his hat and walked down the
aisle with great dignity. There was pre-
sent an old topper, who, at the moment, was
about as fall as he could we'll be, and be-
ing nightly tIckled atthc Deacon's speech,
he staggered from his seat and clapping the
deacon on the shoulder exclaimed. 81 say
(hic) Deacon, Mem's mig sentiments! III
stand by you (hic) old Teller in them 'ere
doctrines! So let's (hic( let's go ont and
liquor! The Deacon finding that his mo
derate drinking doctrines placed him in
such disgraccful fellowship, went back and
signed the pledge!

THE INpIANs.-Rumors are in circula-
