WAsHINGToN, Jan. l2.-Senate resumed the
consideration Of the Iowa election case.
Staunton under the suspension of rules offered
a resolution instrncting the committee judiciary
to enquire into the expedency Of recognizing
circuits and districts in the United States in such
manner as to equslze the population and business
OF several circuits and Districts and give all Sec
tons Of the confederacy their equal and just repre-
sentaton in the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Keitt asked whether, il the Supreme Court pro-
nounced the fugitive slave law constitutional,
the gentleman would carry it out?
Staunton replied: "If the Supreme Court decided
that bred Scott Is a slave he would acquesce, but
should not announce bis opinion as to the fugitive
slave Law.
The resolution was passed.
Benson reported back TO the Senate, bill amen

Suggestions for the Farmer.

BosE MANURE. Apply crushcdor ground
bones to your fruit trees, old and young
Stir the soil about the roots, and dig in one
bushel TO each tree, IL the trees are old and
Of large size. lfyoung, less quantity will
suffice Grape vines are also greatly bene-
fitted by application Of the same. After
applying the bone manure, mulch carefully
with fine shayings, or tanners bark. Straw
will answer we'll for the purpose when these
articles are not easily obtainable. Sawdust,
also may be used as substitute. IL keeps
the soil light, and by its gradual decomPo-
sition, adds to the active staple Of the soil.
No practice Is moro to be commended in
treatment Of trees than this. =
Murlate Of Lime is u valuable article in
imparting fecuniity to lands that have be-
come exhausted and unproductive from long
and ipjudieious cropping. Ii Is also most
efficient ingredient in compost. If common
muck or pond mud be cirted out in autumn
and mixed the subsequent spring with
quantity Of muriatc Of lime, say fifty pounds
of the latter to every cord Of the former, u
very energetic manure will be formed that
will be well adapted to almost every kind
of crop, and every modification Of soil. Ii
will do well ON elay-it will do well on
sand, and be found highly economical when
ever and wherever applied. This compost
does remarkably veil when applied to fruit
and ornamental trees, stimulating the ab-
sorbent system, and inducing healthy ard
vigorous circulation OF the vital fluid, even
in old trees.
Roor CrrTERs. One Of these implements
should be found on every farm, especially
where large quantities of roots are raised as
feed for stock. A good root cutter will
prove very economical in the pref lration ol
this kind Of food. The cost is q mere tri'
he.
Corn Cons. Save all your cOrn eobs,-
Let it by no means be forgotten that the
cob contains considerable per centage OF
alimentary matter, particularly that por'
tion Of it called the piih. By grinding grain
and cobs together, u saving Of nearly one
eighth may Be effected in feeding most do
mestic animals. Try it, and satisfy your
self. The experiment will cost but u mere
trine.-Grmaniorn Telegraph.

The LOAF. Once upon time, during
a famine, a rich. man invited twenty Of
the poorer children in the town TO his
house and said to them:
"In this basket there is loaf Of bread
for each OF you; take it, and come back
every day at this hour till God sends us
better times"
The children pounccd upon the basket
wranglcd and fought for the bread, and
each wished TO get the largest loaf; and
at last went away, without even thanking
him.
Francesca alone, poor but neatly
dressed little girl, stood modcstly apart,
took the smallest loaf which was eft in
the basket, gratefully kissed the gentle
manly hand, and then went home in q
quiet, becoming manner.
On the following day the children were
equally ill-bchavcd, and poor Francesca
this time received loaf which was scarce
~ half the size Of the Others. But when
she came home, and when her sick moth
er cut the LOAF, there fell out Of it quite n
number Of bright silver pieces.
The mother was alarmed, and said,
stake back the money this instant, for il
has, no doubt, got into the bread through
some mistake"
Francesca carried II back, but the be-
neyolent gentleman declined to receive il.
"No, no" said he, ''it was no mistake,
l had the money baked in the smallest
loaf simply as reward for you, my good
child. Always continue thus contentcd,
pcaccable and unassuming. The person
who prefers to remain contcnted with the
smallest Loaf, rather than quarrel for the
larger one, will find blessings in this course
Of action still more valuable than the mo.
ncy which was baked in your loaf"
