We learn that the commissioners ap-
pointed to locate the State Prison, after
visiting personally the several places from
which propositions had been received have
finally selected the village of Waupun. as
tae most eligible situation for that purpose
We are right glad the commissioners have
made this selection. aud have no doubt
that their judgment in the matter will
meet the appreciation of the State at
large. Waupun is near the geographical
centre OF the State. situated in beauti-
ful and thriving section of the country,
and is said to be quite healthy place
There is in the immediate vicinity an in
exhaustible quarry of stone. easy of &C
cess, and excellent material for building.
Waupun is about eighteen miles from
this town. This close proximity will be
Of mutual advantage to the two places
The necessity of plank road to connect

We hope our citizens will not be slow to
appreciate this necessity-but that they
will take right hold of the matter in good

TRANSIT OF Venus. On the third of
June 1869. eighty two years ago, the tran
sit of the planet Venus across the suns
disc, took place. A deputation of scien-
titic gentlemen was sent from England to
Africa, as better point for observing the
transit, and the report was one of the
highest interest The following notice of
the phenomenon was published in the
Boston Gazette on Monday, June 9Th II
50: "After long course of cloudy wea-
Their, the latter part of May, it cleared up
and last Saturday was very fair, and affor-
ded fine opportunity for viewing the
transit of Venus That curious phenom-
enon was carefully observed at Cambridge
with excellent instruments, and found to
happen very near the calculation at the
end of Professor Winthrop's lectures on
the transit, lately published. The Week
ly News Letter of June 9Th adds $50
extremely rare are these phenomena, that
till that which was observed in 1901. there
never was but one seen since the creation
and that by two persons OIL y; and now
this opportunity is past the present race
of mankind may take leave of these tran
sits, as no other will happen till the ninth
of December, 1874"

Charcoal and Wafer,

About one half of the dry weight of all
plants is carbon or charcoal. OF tae other
moiety' more than four fflhs are water, or,
more correctly, the elements of water, called
oxygen and hydrogen. Without the presence
of moisture, both IN the soil and the atmos-
phere above it. no plant grow and the
presence Of carbon, in dissolved or gaseous
form, is equally indispensable to the produc-
ton of all vegetables.
Ii matters little whether carbon is accnula-
ted in a solid form by imperfect combustion
as in the making charcoal from wood in a
common coal pit. or, BY the slow decay of
plants (eremacGa is of Lielig) in forming
mould, muck, and peat. The power of these
carbonaceous and exceedingly porous bodies
to condense the gaseous food of cultivated
plants should be universally known.
Gaseous compounds of PHOSPHORUS obey
the same general law. All we'll pu'verised
earths have similar property of condensing
oxygen and other gases; and through tillage
greatly promotes the condensation of vapors
and gases about the roots of plants, to nour-
ish them. Charred peat, muck, and wood
are exceedingly valuable TO mix with all ma
nures to prevent the escape of fer ilizing ele-
ments which are volatile and liable TO rise in
the atmosphere.
Charred muck. peat, and wood are coming
aided by gypsum or common salt. BY these
means fertilizer of great power and perfect
ly inordorous, may be formed. suitable 10 be
planted or drilled with all seeds. Well dried
and pulverised clay is valuable deodorizer,
and is used by many millions of people in
China and some parts of Europe, TO mix with
soil. In this way it can be thoroughly d ried
and not part with any offs gasses. Copper
as water and diluted oil Of vitrol poured over
night soil, convert all the volatile into invola-
tile elements.
To command water in dry weather and get
rid of the excess in rainy seasons, deep til
lage Is equally valuable. In The former case
moisture ascends from the subsoil by capillary
attraction, and in the latter, the excess of wa
ter in the surface soil Gecends into the subsoil
to meet an exigency of an opposite character.
The skillful control Of water is the first les
son in good farming.-Paien Office report.
