A NEW MANURE.-Robert Bryson, ESQ. of
Cumberland county, about eight miles from
harrisburg, Va, has been en- pc rimenting for th,
last ten years, TO make exhausted tan bark avail
able and valuable as manure. Besides his mag
niheent farm, he likewise carries on the tan
ming business. Finally, after a great deal Of
expense. and many failures, he has succeeded
in discovering a method Of producing from, M.
tan an efficient manure. This is his plan: He
has tan wheeled out on a level piece Of ground.
aud leveled of two or three feet thick Over
this he spreads layer Of two or three inches
Of lime, and over that again a stnaIa Of tan
then layer Of lime, and so on. He let's tbs
bed so prepared remain for two years; at the end
Of that time he finds himself in possession of a
bed Of manure, the effects Of which upon the
land can hardly be surpassed. for the richness
Of its product snd the durable fertility which

Smoothness and high finish are EASY Of attain-
ment in any substance capable Of fusion In a
mould; but what is most al nirabls in xatta-
psrcha casts 10, that, while they present an aD-
pearanee closely resembling the finest polished
oak, their points and edges, where the design
requires IL, are sharp an crisp as il they had
been done with the knife Of the most skilfsl
carver. The material is equally applicabls TO
the minutest and the boldest designs; and, a. to
durability, is less frangitls, merely than any
other known comp osiiion, hut perhaps than oak
itself In this respect, indeed, il 10 quite equal
to papier machs. In its simple and purified
state, IL presents, when thrown into the shape
Of trays, ink stands, card baskets, Sc, natu-

color can be changed at will, an exceeding
