JUSTPUBLISHED, DOMAT ON CIVIL LAW
INrrS NATURAL ORDER, translated into English
by VIM Strahan, LII d., Advocate in Doctors
Commons Edited, from the second London Edi-
tion by Hon. LUTHER s. CUSHING, late one of
the Judgesi in the Court Of Common Pleas; now Lee
turcr on Civil and Parliamentary Law in Harvard
University. In vols. Royal Svo.
Among the writer's on the Roman Law whose
works are best known to English and American
lawyers, and which have cxerted the most infiu-
encc upon our Jurisprudence, Is DomAT, "whose
work. entitled The CiUii Laio IN its Natural Or
DER" says Judge Story, preface to Bailments, }
considering the age and the circumstances in
which it written, is truly wonderful per-
Torrance. His method is excellent, and his mat
ter clear, exact, and comprehensive"
The object of the author, in this learned produc-
ton, to disembarrass those of the principles
and provisions of the Roman law, which of gen
eral interest and application from the TECHNICAL
ties of the system, and, by presenting them in a
natural and scientific method, to render them more
Ineligible, and their attainment more useful and
agreeable; and, though the work was particularly
intended for and adapted to the French jurispru-
dence of the age it 10 not less applicable to every
system of law, Of which the Roman code is either
part, in which it is recognised body OF
written reaaon Besides the general claims which
the work thus Possesses to the attention OF the Anne
rican lawyer Domat has peculiar interest in those
of the States, whose legal institutions derived
in part from those of France Spain, and thus
founded in the Roman law
These reasons have induced belief on the part
of the publishers that modern edition of this cee
bratcd work would be acceptable to the profession
and have led them to engage in republication o.
the English translation OF itby DR.. Strahan.

Ec0u0miSe Your Manure.

"Let none of your manure become fire
fanged," was the remark of the celebrated
Judge Buel one of the best men and most
intelligent agriculturalists this country has
ever had the honor 10 produce. When
the spring advance early and rapidly, and
the long manure LAYS in large and compact
heaps in the yard, there is a serious dam
ger of lis being injured by violent fer
mentation, a process which involves the
strong ammonia, and other volatile and fe-
cundaIing gasses escape into the atmos-
phere, and are lost, leaving the residum
exhausted of two-thirds or one halt its
original strength. That such is the fact
every one may easily satisfy himself by
visiting the stercorary, or exposed manure
heaps after few days of hot weather III
the spring, when this gaseous loss viii be
made convinclngly apparent TO his senses
by the strong, 9ungeut, and almost sutfo-
eating fumes which tmenate from the
heaps. In order TO preserve this volatile
and highly fertilising product, 1t IS an eX-
cellent plan TO mix all the manure as IT Is
thrown out, with a sufficient quantity OF
muck, or rich loan, to absorb and retain
all the ammonia, which as | have before
said, is the richest and best part OF the
manure. Ii the fermentation Is 3lloWed
to proceed unarrcsted and the decomposi-
ton to go on while The dung is in lis nat
ural ant unadulierated state, this must in
evItably be lost. Ii has often struck me
with surprise 10 find so few farmers who
apply gypsum to manure. Let any one
enter a stable where large number OF
horses are kept, and witness the strong
ammonical odor that arises from the stalls
and manure heaps. This is highly often
sivc; yet the sprinklng of few quarts OF
plaster of gypsum, will effectually prevent
this nuisance. by absorbing and fixing the
ammonia, and render the manure one third
more valuable than ii would otherwise
would be. When you end violent fer
meuta,ion going on in your manure heaps
lose no time in covering the surface with
ovpsum. This article costs bat little, but
When applied in this manner, effects I'M
mense good II is probably to its capacl-
ty of fixing this gaseous product OF decom-
posing vegetable matter that gypsum de-
rives il principal value as an application TO
growing crops.

An Hour with q californian.

We yesterday had the pleasure of pas
sing an hour with our old friend, A. w.
Brockway, Esq, formerly of the firm OF
Hays d Brock kway, of this city, but for
over year past a resident of Sacramento
city, California. He gives a glowing de-
scripiion of the present progress and fu-
ture prospect of California. No person
residing in the old States, he says, can
form any correct idea of the immense bu>
siness done in the towns and country in
the neighborhood of the Pacific. And he
is OF the opinion that the wealth and busi-
ness of California are only now beginning
to be developed. The future is opening
as bright as the most enthusiastic dreamer
could possible desire.
Most of the mining operations hereto
fore in California have been confined to
the wet and dry "diggings, on the vari-
Gus little streams and rivers running from
the mountains. The gold dust is generally
found III the sand along these streams,
from two TO three feet under the surface
of the earth. Recently, however, the peo
pie OF California have been turning their
attention to the business of taking gold
from the quartz rock, which is fonud in
great abundance on the mountains.
Mr.. Brockway has in his possession
many specimens of gold quartz, which he
exhibited TO us. One lump, weighing
two and a quarter pounds, containg 20
per cent Of gold, and is valued at $3.50.
Itlooks as rich as Ophir! He has other
Jumps of quartz interlarded with VEINS of
gold, which, when assayed, will yield ten
per cent of the precious metal. He has
still other Jumps in which the gold is not
visible to the naked eye, on account of
the extreme smallness of the PARTICLES
This he calls the "four of gold," and
when assayed it yields about Sl5 to 100
pounds Of rock. These quartz are the
least productive of any found in Califor-
MIA.
