Anthracite Coal Ashes Manure.

MEssRs. EDIToRs | have tried several experiments
with anthracite coal ashes and have found it valuable
manure and would confidently recommend it to my
follow agrlculturlsts
As now managed in New York it is perfect nuisance
deporably lost, and wilful waste Much Of it finds its
way into the rivers, from the streets and steamers and
will eventually impede navigation, as II cOngomerates
and forms hard masses at the bottom IT, after careful
experiment, it is found servceabe to the farmer, law
might be passed by Congress, forbiddng the of
beautiful rivers and bay, receptacle for not only coal
ashes but many other valuable manures, which daily
find their way there the value of which, if properly hus
banded, would be almost incacuable. 1t is susceptible
of proof that the fertzing substances thrown away IN
New York, during one year, would, if placed upon the
soil, add many millions of dollars to its resources
Anthracite is species of coal which differs entirely III
Its properties from all other kinds, consisting as 1t does,
altogether, nearly of carbon. with hardly any by

issues from it when ignited and consequently no gas

is like coke than any other substance except in ap

Important Cases in the Supreme Court Of
the It s

by the following Report Of the dongs of the Fedora
Coult at Washington, it will be seen that the State
laws regulating the sale of ardent spirits and taxing
emiglants sustained. This decision will be hiph
y satisfactory as far as the temperance question is
concerned. Tine States can impose such checks on
the wicked business Of making dunkards as it thought
netdfnL The New York Express SAYS, under date OF
March g.
The Supreme Court of the u s. met at the usual
hour this morning. and after the business which occu-
pied the court for short time, there was an adjourn
Inent to the first Monday in December, according to
law. There were SIX of the nine judges on the bench
viz, Judges Taney Mclean Wayne, Nelson, Wood
bury and Grier.
An opinion was given upon the important license
cases which were so fully argued before the court at
the present as well as at the last term The judr-
men OF the Circuit Courts are affirmed, and the Su.
preme Court decides that the States have IA rirlt to
regulate the licensing Of, and trade in ardent spirits
Thus the law of New Hampshire which cont OILS the
mower over licenses generally, and the law Of Mass4-
chnSes, which toibdS the slIe of any smaller qu4nti
ty Of liquor Ihon % gallons, and the law Of Rhode
Island, limiting the sale to ten gallons all affirmed
by the Court. These cases have been ably argued by
counsel from each of the States and the decision q
tn" Court wall happily put the question OF power t.
rest and settle beyond successful Legal controversy
1t Iels the power Of the States over the retail trade in
ardent spirits.
The Court today entered the clse between the Mer
chants INK OF Boston, and the owners of the steam
bout lexington growing out OF the shpwreck ana los:
of specie, for the second Monday in December next
The Court also affirm an important decision of the
Circuit Court of Ohio, growing ont of the abduction
slaves. The cause will be known as the Vnzan
case.
The Court has also affirmed all the State laws il
regard to the INK upon foreign emigrants arriving il
the potts of Massachusetts and New York. These
laws are regarded police regulations and necessa
ny for the preservation ofthe health.
The business of the court was conducted by Judge
Mclean; and Judge fancy directed the crier, after
brief session. to adjourn the Court to meet againaccor
ding to law.
