| Concentrated Blood ManHre.-A bag OF this
manure was exhibited at the agricultural exhibit
| ton, held in our city last week, by John L..
Miffiin, 10. lao South Wharves. Philadelphia,
who is the sole agent for its sale in that city. 1t
| is spoken of by good judges as good fertiii-
ger, and calculated to take the place of guano.
The farmers OF our county and State would
| therefore do well to institute some inquiry in
regard to its merits. 1t is made of blood,
fresh meat, the offal of animals killed for food,
mixed together so as to form semi. fluid mass,
without coagulation, or the loss Of any ingre-
dient; when organized phosphate Of lime, the
comminuted bones of fish, forming what is
called Mexican guano, are converted into SUI
per phosphate OF lime, and then the several
parts are intimately combined, and allowed to
become dry, when the mass is powdered and
put in bags containing $50 pounds, and sold at
$50 per net ton. The proper quantity for
grass, grain, &C., $50 to 500 pounds. 1t has
been manufactured in England for several
years, where it is extensively used and has CIV
en- great satisfaction. A company has been
recently formed in this country for its manu-
facture, which is protected by two patents, and
many farmers in the eastern part of Pennsyl-
yania, have purchased a few bags of the above
named agent, for the purpose Of giyngit fair
trial. Our agriculturists should do the same,
as it will most probably pay Il large dividend
In the shape OF increased crops. They should
at least make Mr.. Mifflin visit, and Judge OF
the article for themselves.

Suspended 0perations.-J. Pussy and Sons
discharged the hands in their factory on Front
Street on Tuesday evening, in consequence
OF the dull times, although they had not used
up all the cotton they had on hand. Lammot
and Son ceased operations ut their large fac
tory in Brandywine village last week, for the
same reason. As soon as the times improve
they will be put in operation again. Five of
the -four mills at Brandywine have suspended
operations-having heavy stock of wheat
and flour on hand, and We are informed that
man from Chester County brought down a
load of wheat few days ago, and took it
away, not being able to find purchaser. As
soon as the heavy stock on hand is disposed of
however, these mills will become again as
good market for corn as any in the, country.
