INCREASE OF FREIGHT UPON CArTLE.-Some
Of the New York railroads have adopted a
measure that will add considerably to the price
of beef in New York. They have increased
the price OF freight upon cattle equivalent to
So a head from ohio,' Indiana, Illinois and
Kentucky, on the average, to go into opera
ton on the LIST of November. This will add
SIS to every bullock now in pastnre, and It will
add about three quarters ola cent a pound to the
cost Of beef delivered from the West 10 the
consumers In New York. The droyers arc
very wrathiul, and they are endeayoriug TO
make an arrangement to throw all their freight
upon single railroad line to punish the Others,

IMPORTS OF SPECIE.-The amount of specie
brought from Europe, Cuba, Mexico and Cal
tornia to New York, st. Lenis and New Or
leans during October, is set down at 81 ,45l.-
1906. The N. Y. Herald in stating this fact,
adds:
10 this sum should be added certificates of
deposit received by the Persia to the amount
of over million Of dollars, which certificates
are as good as, and in more convenient form
than specie itself, because remittances TO En-
gland can be made by means Of them. Out OF
these monthly cash receipts of seven and a
half millions OF dollars we have not actually
sent out OF the country more than mere trific
say two or three hundred thousand dollars
so that the first of November sees it richer by
at least seven millions of dollars in specie than
we were on the first of October Tbis NAV
seem extraordinary in view of the depression
IN trade, but the fact is nevertheless so. Though
times are hard specie is plenty.
BLOODY STREET FIGHT.-The Livingston
(Ala.) Messenger chronicles bloody atfray
which occurred on the streets of that village
on the 10th ult. The parties were Messrs.
James l.. Hainesworth and Thomas A. Scales,
both planters. residing in Sumpter county,
and the difficulty originated in a misunder-
standing, which had been nursed for some
time. Both parties were fully armed, and in
collision Mr.. Hainesworth, was instantly kill.
ed and Mr.. Scales dangerously wounded.

RENovATINu AMARyLAND FARM.-The finer
lean Farmer for August, publishes an account
of recent editorial visit at "Hayilelds" the
residence of John Merryman, Jr., ESD, in
Baltimore Co., ond formerally belonging to the
late Col. N. M. Bosley. The present as well
as the previous owner has shewn himself
thorough, enterprising and successful farmer;
and the course taken by his predecessor and
himself to renovate the soil and render 1t per-
manently productive, may be interesting and
instructive to many of our readers.
Col. b. was at first compelled to buy hay,
and it was thus his first object to get crop OF
grass.
"Everything that could be gathered in the
way Of manure from the stable, the cattle pens,
and composts, he applied to portion Of land
in sufficient quality TO bring it into condition
ut ence to produce crop Of grass. Here was
something to start upon part of the farm
however small made fertile, and ready hence
forth to furnish means Of Improvement TO other
parts, which In turn gave their help to the gen.
eral improvement. Lime was applied at the
rate Of fifty bushels to the acre. 1t was put
at first upon the naked land, after having been
worked In corn. After few years trial, he
found much greater benefit by applying ii in
his preparation for the corn crop on the invert'
ed sod. Mr.. Merryman's experience, let us
say by the way, leads him to prefer decidedly
| the application to the grass land, two ur three
seasons before it is to be plowed down, and
this opinion is corr1borated by that of MIR
Edward Stabier. "Aiterwards," said Col. b.
s'I found on application Of ono hundred bush
els of lime to the acre, the effects were mucl
greater, and it has since been my constan
habit to apply that quantity" We notice thi
statement particularly, because 1t is at varianc
with tie common opinion upon the subjeC
now; smaller applications frequently repeate
being thought the better practice.
