ULTIMATE EFFECTS OF GUANo.-The great
value of guuno as an application to worn or
exhausted soils is very generally conceded,
especially when used in giving poor land start,
so that course of rotation and cropping can
be commenced with encouraging results. But
further observation and experience are needed
to show whether it can be depended upon year
after year for the fertilizing of the farm, the
same as barn-yard manure. We find this
subject started in the Piedmont Va. Wing,
paper containing editorial articles of value to
the agriculturist. 1t is well known that guano
has been the great manure for the renovation
Of the exhausted soils of that section, and that
its use and value is probably better understood
there than elsewhere in the country
The law of action and reaction is applicable
to the soil, as well as to all else in nature
Everything stimulated or excited to an
unusual degree of action, must suffer cores
ponding depression after the excitement is
over" And all ammonacal manures seem to
have an active, stimulating effect, perceived
almost Immediately in the increased growth of
the products of the soil to which it is applied
This is illustrated, and also its ultimate results,
in a case mentioned by Liebig, and referred to
by our authority The vine-growers of one of
the principal Rhine wine regions made disco
very by means of which they doubled their
crop of grapes.
Unfortunately, in year or two, their specific
not only failed to accomplish the purpose
expected but their crops dwindled away
almost to nothing. They had stimulated their
vines by manuring them with shaving of horn
which contains large quantity of ammonia !;
and when the reaction came, the product fell
as far below the medium standard as it had
for year or two been above it, The vines,
too, were permanently injured by this treatment,
and were never restored to their original con-
dition. Another case is related of Virginia
gardener who, when guano was first introduced,
made trial of it upon some rose bushes.
The consequence was such development
of flowers as no one had ever seen before
The trees were loaded with profusion of roses,
of the finest quality. But it soon became
manifest that it was only temporary excite
ment, soon to be succeeded by corresponding
depression The trees never recovered fully
from the shock which they had received, and
Some of them perished outright"
From this it would appear that on perennial
plants, the continual application of guano
produces very injurious effects in the end, but
these effects would probably be much less on
ANNALS, renewed from year to year, like the
grain crops. But still some results must be
produced, and this it should be made the object
of careful experiment to ascertain There can
be no question, however, of the Importance of
this manure to the country and everything
going to show how it can best be employed,
and giving better understanding of the results
which may be expected, will be of value

COVERS a wide and popular range of SUBJ
jects in the literature of this country hitherto
but very imperfectly attempted. While em-
bodying vast amount OF information as to the
history, doctrine, government, and statistics of
the different religious bodies, it is yet so hap
PLY blended with inSnmerable lively and ell
tertainng tales, anecdotes, and poetry that the
reader is surprised and delighted at the beauty
and interest with which the subject is invested.
Its circulation since first issued has been un-
paralleled in the annals of the business, and
proves 1t to be beyond all question the most
popular subscription book in the market. From
the borders of Maine to the confines of Texas,
there is vast field for its circulation. The
harvest truly is great, and only wants the pre-
sence of the labsrer to gather it in. Active,
earnest, selfrelying and determined men can
find pleasant and profitable employment, and
pick up vast deal of knowledge of men and

THESE justly celebrated Pills, having been
thoroughly tested and proved by large class
of our most enliShtened and respectable citi-
zens in this village and vicinity, and also by
those of other communities, where they have
been introduced, they are now offered to the

The Proprietor, feeling grateful for the favor
with which they have been received, feels it
his duty to repay this kindness by making
them as agreeable as possible, without altering
the composition. He has accordingly added
to them coating Of pure white sugar, where
by the disagreeablc taste and smell are COM
pletely obviated. For particulars in regard to
the composition of these Pills and the diseases
to which they are applicable, reference is made
to the Circulars which are freely distributed
and one of which will always be found around
each Box.
CautiOn.-Thc genuine Pills are put
up in round tin boxes, with a circular and di'
rectiona around each Box, and pink wrapper
