The EVIDENCES ACCUMULATE in proof OF what

We would call especial attention to the adver-
t;ssments of this Liniment, in our columns, and
viii take this occasion to say that this appears
to be one of the e,o popular medicines that really
nossess all the virtues ascribed to them. In eft

no matter how long standing, in an incredibly
short time and for sprains bruises. sores, burns,

heard of many cures that have been performed
that really appear incredible, were they not
vouched for by persons of responsibility and in

PRINCE MENscHIKoFF.-The New York
Courier is painting the character Of Prince
Menschik off, great grandson Of Peter the
Great, now seventy years Of age, and in
command of the Russian army against
Turkey. We quote
He is Of middle stature, has close cu:,
milk-whie hair; high, open forehead
sharply defined features, and brilliant,
sparkling eye. His gal. is naughty, but
slightly imPing, from wound tina. he re-
celved in singular manner at the siege of
Vienna, in 1923. 1t is affirmed, that one
eve ing, having some orders that he wished
10 see implicitly obeyed, he strolled through
The camp, and, as be was returning to his
quarters, he stopped and remained with his
legs stretched wide apart while he enjoyed
a pinch Of snuff. Suddenly the report of
a heavy gun was heard, and The Prince fell
headlong TO the ground. When he was
taken up it was found that cannon ball
had passed between his legs AID wounded
him severely in The thigh.

extensive landrd proprie,ors in the Empire,
and counts his SETS by thousands ; but uu-

THE SIXTH ANNUAL EXHIBITION OF

THE SIXTH ANNUAL EXHIBITION OF
THE CHARLES COUNTY AGRICULTU-
RAJ SOCIETY
Was held on Tuesday and Wednesday last.
There was a larger number of persons pre-.
sent on the first day than we have ever seen
at any previous Exhibition in this village
Our large public square was almost impas-
sable from the number Of vehicles Of every
decriplion, which came freighted with the
sons and daughters Of Charles and the ad-
joining counties. On The second day i,
rained, and no doubt many were prevented
by it from coming, who had anticipated
hearing the excellen. Address which was
delivered by Col. WILLIAM J. BLACKSTONE
of ST. Msry's, and to witness the dislribu-
ton of Premiums to The successful compe-

altogether, the Exhibition was highly salts.
factory calculated 10 inspire every
one present ilh feelings of admiration and
a hope that, at no very dis,sn, day, old
Charles will rank among the most thriving
agricultural communities of our country.
Every department. Of this Exhibition was
well supplied, with the exception of two
that appropriated TO Garden Vegetables and
that TO Agricultural Implemenls,-in both
these, however. there were some creditsble
exhibitions. The failure in the frs, was
owing to the past dry, unfavorable season;
and in the second to the difficulty of pro-
curing vessel in Baltimore in time to bring
such articles as were intended for exhibition
MIR. DRURY was here, withstsnding, with
some valuable implements and machinery,
This gentleman deserves we'll the patronage
Of our farmers, for the interest he has al.
ways taken in our Fairs and for the superior
manner in which he manufactures all articles
furnished by him.
To the ladies the highest praise is DUE
Their department was full and complete, and
their beauty, too. unsurpassed.

ceedings Of the Society and the interesting
Reports Of the Committees Of Award, from
which our readers will gather more salts

THE GOVERNMENT REVENUE The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Courier estimates that receipts
from customs for the fiscal wear Of
1853 will be S73,s5O,OOo, and the
receipts from public lands and other
sources S6,2OO,O00. thus making the total
revenue equal to $s0,050,O00. This is an
enormous aggegste, and will afford the gov
eminent ample funds towards reducing its
debt. The amount of debt received and can
eel!ed this week at the treasury, it is said,
will amount 10 over million Of dollars.

upwards of fifty years old, who runaway
from his master in Mar, land last April, and
came through his safe by the underground

HEADING CABBAGEs IN THE WINTER
A friend and correspondent complains to US
that the cabbages do rot manifest any dis
position 10 from close and compact heads;
and enquiries what he shall do with them.
We would advise him to let them stand
the usual time; end if they are not sufi-
cien,ly formed then, to give them chance
to head during the winter, by adopting The
following plan: -
Dig a trench on The side Of hill, say
foo. wide and two deep. Lett slope down
hill sufficiently to drain off any water thai
may chance to find its way in.
Put layer of straw on the bottom
Pull the cabbage up by the roots. close the
leaves Together. and place them in the trench
heads down and the roofs up. Place some
stsrw between them and the sides Of the
trench. Then take couple of boadrs and
set them over The trench so as TO form roof,
and cover the whole over ilh earth. In this
way we have caused cabbages 10 form good
beads during the winter, and take them on.
for use in The spring. By putting Them
down roots up. you proven. any dirt getting
in among the leaves. If The water gets in
and stand among them, they will be in dan
ger of roting.-.Maine Farmer.

PLoUGHING AND MIN1RfN G3@Af the re-
cent Agricultural Fair al Hampstead, Long
Island, Professor Mapes said :
"H'gh farming is not ornamental farming.
il is deep p!ouehing and increased manur-
ing. This is what pays The greatest
profit Who ever heard Of a crop suffering
from drough. in fields we'll drained and sub
so'led. say two feet Deep The atmosphere
gives out Its moisture in sub-soi.ed land, and
Keeps The crop growing. Look at such land
ana see The results, compared with shallow
plonghing. Many men have better farm
under the one they plough than that on The
surface. Gals never lodge on land where
they can get soluble slick 10 make strong
straw. They cannot get it in shallow
pionghed land that has been long in use
Two dollars an acre will give him plenty
of soluble siex. No matter what the sub
soil is, il will be benefited if i, dry BY sub
soIiing. Hill tops are benef,ted iii, dry by
subscribing and draining, for il lets in the
air. II makes crops earlier, and thus they
escape the frost. The most gravelly land
- benefited. sub-soiled meadow never
"funs out" There is no fear Of deep plough
ing gravclly lands msnures do not reach
downward; that notion is fallacy. To
prove il, dig in your barn-yard, and you
will find it has not made the hard sub soil
rich. Root crops are not appropriated as
they should be. Cslle may be fa,lened on
roots cheaper than you can feed them on
hay in the winter. One bushel Of carrois.
fed with oats, are worth more than oats for
horses. You can raise thousand bushels
of carrots to the acre, " or,h fifty cents
bnshel for feed. Carrots are equal for cows
in winter 10 clover in May"
