ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.-Some wears ago
the husband of a young and beautiful wife
al Carondelet, Missouri, left her for while,
in order to try his fortunes on the Pacific
coast. He remained there seven years,
and was then unheard from; and finally
there came word that he was dead. The
widow put on her weeds-of mourning, and
wore them the usual term. At the end of
that period she received the wooing of a
neighbor and soon agreed to wed him.
On the morning of the wedding, and Just
as she was about leaving her house for the
church, her long-absent and mourned for
husband presented himself and asked for a
kiss of welcome, but with lofty mein and
disdainful air, she repulsed him from her
presence, leaped into the carriage and away
they went, the embryo bridegroom not COM
pretending in the least the strange proceed
ings; and, to cut the matter short, they
were in a few minutes at the appointed
place and married. The anti-terior hus-
band, we understand, wants his wife and
threatens to kick up muss. This is the
most novel wedding that ever occurred in
Carondelet, and has created as much SEN
sation as the Dean and Boxer affair din in
Gotham.

Putting in Cuttings.

Many fail in growing plants from cut
tings, because they leave too many buds
out of ground, and have too few in the
ground. If cutting has three eyes, or
buds, then two of them should be entirely
under ground, and the upper, or last one,
just level with the surface. Thesa when
a cutting hss four OR five buds: place all
but one under ground. When cuttings are
shallow-planted, leaving more buds out
than in the ground, the buds start the.
leaves form, evaporation is rapid, and the
delicate, new, fbrous roots soon die, as our
hot suns and dry seasons so heat the earth,
to depth of four inches, as TO dry up all
supplies. As consequence, the cutting
fails. When the cutting is inserted eight
to ten inches deep in to the earth, and but
one bud left above, the conditions in this
case favor the formation of roots, and gen.
orally cuttings so placed succeed. The
practice of laying in cuttings horizontally
and shallow, comes to us from abroad,
where the seasons are more equable, moist,
and of longer duration. 'a 9l'a .,

RADIsHEs-These roots are valuable
chiefly as relish; and when brittle and
tender, are very agreeable and healthful.
Good Harieties.-The early Salmon is
very good. The White Summer, for sum-
mer use, as its name indicates, is well
liked.
Crlture.-They are hardy, and require
no extraordinary care. A good bed, care
ful wedding, and successive sowings of the
right kinds for the advancing season, are
all that they need; but if they are thick,
they should be thinned so as to stand an
inch apart. They may be sown during the
entire season, and the fall crop-the Black
Spanish, is the best for this--may be lifted
in October, and stored in sand in the eel
lar, for winter use. They will keep till
April. as 5L1

Farmers, Omnibus.

There is 5 pounds of pure sulphur in
every 100 pounds of wool.
Carrots consume 1s7 pounds of lime to
the acre; turnips but 90 pounds:
A cubic foot of common arabic land will
hold 40 pounds of water.
1t takes pounds ofc to form one of
beef Three and half pounds of cooked
meal will form one pound Of pork. =
To add one per cent. of1ime to soil
that is destitute oft, requires 10 tons Of
Stacked lime, or 6 of caustic, to the acre.
Clay will permanently improve any soil
that is sandy or leachy. Lime and leach
ed ashes will also benefit leachy land.
A ton of dry forest leaves produces only
500 pounds of mold; hence, 500 pounds
of mold will produce ton ofplants. -l
Clay, applied to sandy land, is far better
than sand TO clay land. One hundred tons
to the acre, will give an inch in depth.
Pure phosphorus is worth from four
thousand to five thousand dollars a ton;
and as it comes from the earth, it shows
how scarce it is.
A rich mold formed by rotting clover, is
worth more than the same number of
pounds of clover. 400 pounds of dry
plants, will yield 100 of mold.
Swamp muck, or peat, when dry, will
take up, without dripping four times its
own weight of water. Hence the necessity
ofthrough drainage. a,
Limestone sand retains heat the longest;
black, peaty soils radiate heat most rapidly,
consequently cools soonest and is the first
to experience frost.
The reason why peas, beans and clover
rotate so successfully with wheat, is that
these crops draw comparatively very little
silica from the soil, but leave it for the
wheat.
Mangel wurtzel consumes 26O pounds of
common salt to the acre. If it is not in
the soil in the form of chloric acid and So
dunn, salt must be applied to the soil, or a
poor crop will be the result
Guano contains salts of ammonia, aka
line phosphates, and the other mineral SUBJ
stances necessary to produce the grain of
wheat, but is deficient in the elements nec-
essary to form roots and straw. s
The dung of a sea fowl yields As per
cent. of uric acid and ammonia; while
horse manure has less than one per cent
The reason is, in quadrupeds, the nitrogen
escapes by the kidneys; in birds, it escapes
in the dung, by the bowels.
Soils often contain not over one part Of
phosphorus, in soluble condition for the
use of plants, in 5000; and yet, without
this small portion, not blade of grass, or
seed of grain can be produced. To extract
this from the soil, and net return an equiva-
lent, will soon render the soil sterile and.
worthless.
Wheat sown in December, has ripened
and ready for harvesting by the middle of
May, in Georgia, while that sown in Sep
tember, is not ready to harvest before July,
in Maine-so that as many chemical chan
ges take place in Georgia in five months,
as in Maine in ten. These changes consist
in decomposing both organic and Inorganic
substances, and rendering them soluble for
the use of plants

g-A very distinguished Democrat, just
from Washington, expresses TO us the opln-
ion that Mr.. Buchanan will not live much
longer He says that the labors of office
and the tremendous pressure of office seek
ers are bearing very heavily upon Mr. BIS
health, and that he disease contracted BY
him at the National Hotel appears to be
fastening his inevitable fate.
President Pierce, soon after his inaugu-
ration, set one example which President
Buchanan, we think, would have done ex-
ceedingly we'll to initiate. The former
finding himself miserably beset by office
seekers, proclaimed through his organ that
the claims of no applicant would be con-
sidered who should be found in Washing
ton after named day. The effect was
magical. The dispersion was most marvel
Gus. Railroads and turnpikes were throng-
ed by the broken and flying army, and, be-
fore the rise. of the sun on the morning of
the designated day, there WAS not within
the limits of the district of Columbia sin
gle applicant for office. Thus Mr.. Pierce
saved what may or may not have been
worth saving-his life. 1t seems a pity
that Mr.. Buchanan should not have seen
enough to profit by the only smart thing
Frank Pierce ever did Louisuilie jour
nal
