are Pleased to inform the Agrculturalist and
ethers that they are fully prepared to attach
this highly celebrated patented Compost to
every Drill desired The design of this invan
ton is to furnish the farmer with Machine
SIMPLE IN Its construction, durable in its make
ana at cost comparatively small, which will
enable hIm to sow with his glain the COMPOST
MahureS, which the experience of every prac-
tical FARMER goes 10 prove is the greatest terti-
IIZer brought into use. Tae mixture of ashes
ana guano ls contended by some to be the best
way IN which guano should be used, as it is a
saving to the farmer of 100 per cent. in his
outlay and almost treble in the enhanced value
OF his product, though this Machine is adapted
10 The use OF Guano in any form which the far
mer may think proper to use it. The certiti-
cafes which follow, though the Attachment has
Just come INTO Use, are from some of the most
Ihleliigent aud practical farmers in Virginia.
IL is shown, by the tests which have have been
made' that 4O lbs. of guanO as sown by this
attachment, is better than 200 lbs broadcast.
IL works with ease and regularity, can scarcely
be gotten out of order, can be attached to al
most any description OF Drills, and is, in short.
what the farmer just needs, and their true in

MOUNT PLEASANT, June 18th, 50.
The appropriate Name Of The Pldcc-ls Lo-
cHion and advantages. s-,
Mr.. EDITOR Having, time and again.
examined the columns of your valuable paper
without observing anything to represent Us
IN the shape ofa letter, take the liberty Of
furnishing your readers with n few lines.
1t is needless to enter into any etvmologi-
cal disqusition with the view ofeXplaining the
dcriva'ions of the various i'll .dcincd names
which have been from time to time been inn
properly used to designate our small bu!
thriving village-such for examples as Vine
gar Hill. Stony Batter. and other aprcla-
TONS no less inappropriate and opprohiouS
than the minds which gave birth to them
must have been vague and idle: but let it suf-
lice to say, that the proper name Mt. Pleas
ant Is now recognized as one peculiarly APP
proprIate inaSmuch as it is strictly expressive
of the general character of the place to which
it has been applied.
lii consequence of this village being located
upon very elevated hill we are not only
enabled TO command a delightful and inter
rstIng view OF an cXranSe Of fertile and b, att
utuily diversified country, which is out
spread around us almost as far as the naked
eye can reach, but also f,vorablv situated to
enjoy the benefits attendant upon the pres
ence of an inyigora,ing, pure and hcalthrul
atmosphere.
Amongst the several other advantages con.
ncctcd with the place may he mentioned
NJ. Il. Church, which thong h presenting to
the eye in its exterior aspect the evidence of
but moderate degree of ARCHITECTURAL skill,
affords to large and fine congregation
reasonably comfortable place Of worship.
AT the distance Of about mile, pleasantly
situated amid the summer foliage Of a large
and magnificent cluster of trees. is the
Friends Nottingham Church, which has
within a comparatively recent period re-
ceived a large additional mlmlcrof members
This church in common with all others Of the
same denomination, possesses its peculiar
characteristic features. which consist Of neat
ness, plainness and simplicity in the general
style Of its construction. BETA.

AN EplToRs PLATFORM. -These are the
days Of new parties and new platforms, and
we notice that our contemporary Of The Snou
HH Shield, having an eye to the good If h.
country. makes the following proposition in
his last issue. We have no hesitation in say
ing that we believe the Union would be safe
under such a system, and recommend the
course indicated to the politicians and pros
pectvs candidates in Cecil.
1--WE spprehcnd spicy time in Maryland
this Fall--with the four promised tickets in
the field. the Locofoco, Wing, Known 9TH
ing and Maine Law tickets. Now we propose
Il new plank for the platform of each, namely
that all the candidates for office Of the
several parties he required to put thcmscl-
YES i'll Market through the columns Of tile
Newspaper, Of their respective Congressional
Districts; and have printed in large type, all
they will do, if elected, for the .!dear peo-
plc;" and to pay for these publications Sin
cash or country produce'' at advertising
rates; and that 4 declaration to this effect; be
sine qua non to nomination. We admit u
little grain of selfishncss in making this mod
est suggestion, in as much as we can. under
present circumstances look forward with
pride upon the honor of retiring upon for
tune thus acquired. We do not think we
over-calcnlate the number Of political aspir-
ants in good old Worcester, and we feel rs
if We had just as leave grow rich upon the
ambition Of mankind as upon any other
principle of human nature. Who dare say
the present is not an suspicious time to ele-
yate the newspaper editors above the posi-
ton OF respectable m-nlcants, which they
have 50 long occupiedi Editors you have
been used long enough as ladders upon which
ambitious men have climbed into power.
Strike for your rights, tax this ambition
now's the time, you'il never have such
chance again.

Mr.. EDIron:-Will you be good enough
to publish these few lines relating to some
things I don't like to see.
don't like to see a man stoop so low as
to put his lovely wife behind the bar to sell
rum to Irish and negro vagabonds of class
not fit to associate with swine.
| don't like 10 see persons from foreign
countries perhaps from poor-houses and
stuff. under the sign of Mineral Water u

doh't like to see young men with families
grow Sc devoid Of feeling for themselves and
friends as to pour down whiskey, until after
the style of hogs they arc seen in the streets
on '.al fours."
There are set of men here, always find
ing fault with preaching, who instead Of be-
ing at church on Sundays are lounging ABOUT
bar-rooms.
1t is thought it would be we'll to move the
telegraph office farther down town for the
accommodation of one who attends to it part
of the time.
Ask the jailor at Elkton if our constable
has delivered to him man he arrested two

was ordered to give bail or to 20 to Jail.
