MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE Peter Orn-
dorf and his little son, under ten years of age,
left home on Cedar Creek the afternoon of Fri
day the 5th inst, for distillery on the opposite
side of the North Mountain. Not returning that
night, g. Saturday being cold and rainy, an anx-
ious search was made for them, and they were
found on the following Monday both dead, in a
by path on the top of the mountain--the boy
nestled by the side of his father, and a jug al
most empty, near them. The little fellow was
still warm, and must have died of starvation.
The father, doubtless, fell victim to alcohol.

Effects of cropping upon the ses,.

May soil whyeh is naturally fertile ha rendered barren by continual croppinge Yes, H tho sasns kind of cropping be carried ca for long time, ths land wilt gradually heco,Re less and less productive.
 Give me an example. 1.-the field b. cropped year after year with wheat osts, t will at iass beeome aauble 10 grow either of th~sc crops.
 Why Is ths' BecsuSe these crops draw eeFtain substances from the soil In gn.at ahWnsisare, aud after a nunlber of years tIae soil caanot faFRssh these sulsstances in sufficient quantity.
 What substances does graia especially draw from the suiif The grstn ef crops especially exhausts tho soil of pAosPAor'e acd and of sones,
 How would you remedy saeh special exhaastioai By returning to the soil the particular substances my crop had taken out.
 How could you reiurn the phesg'hoTic aesd for ins,snce1 l weald apf,iy bone or guaHo, os sonas other maunre in which PhosPboric acid aboands.
 But with any kind of cropping, may nst fertile, soil at length be made aa Upprodnctivs oa"f fss. II Ih. cEofs are carried oil the land. and If what they draw from the soil is not restored 10 it. How is thls explainedf Every crop takes away from the soil certain quantity of those sabsiancss which all piaats require If you always taking out of purse. it will al last become empty.
 Then voa liken exhaasted land to an empty pursel Yes The GIrhsr takes his moaey cut ef the land :a the form Of crops and if hs ia always taking out and putting nothing in, it must al last become empty or exhausted
 But if he puts something into the soil and then. may he continue io crop without exhaustihg u Yes II h" put iH Hie proper EnOs'ances, VII the proper quantities nd at the proper tinte he may keep up the fertility ol his lamd perhaps forever.
 How much oirvery thing must the farmer put into his land 10 keep h ln tts pV~s"at co"dition He must put ia at lenst as much as he takes oat.
 To make his land better, how much must be Put in He mast put in more than he takes eat. But if he iA to put Into the land as mach or m0va ihaa he takes aai where is his profit to come from
