DE- BURG EXCELSIOR
PERUVIAN eUANO EXCELLEO
DIS BURG"

eGnE BURG is composed Of chemically
~ prepared Peruvian Guano, Bones,
/ Flesh, Blood, &C. and is prepared expressly
! to supply all soils, whether deficient or not,
+ with the constituents to produce all crops, and
at the same time improve them no Guano or
edmixture Of Guanos can do this, as none con-
tain the requisites within Themselves.
/ ANY one Of the seven clements Of De Burg
are as important to the practical farmer as
either Of the two which guano supplies; as a
proof Of this, we subjoin the opinion OF Dr.
/ DAVID STEWART, Chemist to Maryland
State Agricultural Society, who inspocts every
lot we receive, before offered for sale, and says
in his report 10 us:
"De Burg compound is much more general
ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture of phosphates and ammonia or manip-
ulated guano."
Again =" There are other elements in De
Burg to which attach as much importance as
ammonia and phosphates, and cannot pass n
cargo where one Of these is absent, however
much ammonia and phosphatcs are present.
We call your attention to the following Tes-
timonials, received within the past month,
from well known gentlemen, nearly all of whom
speak Of the fcrtilizing and durable properties
of De Burg in addition to its value as a crop
grower;

that would not have brought more than three
made 10 barrels per acre applied at The
same rate for oats, and they were very good !;
for tobacco, like it very much, as it grows
off quick and natures it early. It does not
affect or burn the roots Of corn like guano'-
My wheat sown with De Burg looks equally as
well as that beside it, sown with Peruvian
Guano."
r. B. S0PER, Esq, Montgomery Co., Nd.
says, Jan. %, 1858 81 applied 100 pounds
OF De Burg per acre, on corn in the hill; this
| consider q very light dressing. The growth
Of the corn | think equal to what it would
have been from the same number Of pounds Of
Peruvian Guano, and the caring and filing Of
the grain consider better; believe it is a
more permanent fertilizer than guanO."

A young man named Richardson lately COM
mittcd suicide at the National Hotel, in Cincin.
natl, under peculiar circumstances, since which
revelations have been made concerning the cause
of the act, which gives new and painful proof
of the inexplicable fascinations which some
women are capable of exerting even when known
to be lascivious and dcpravcd. The true story
reminds one Of the history Of George Barnwel,
the London apprentice, who is tempted to his
ruin by human syren named MllwOod.
Richardson, the young man in question, was
formerly sober, quiet and industrious fellow,
until he became accidentally acquainted with a
very beautiful woman, whose reputation, how
ever, was rather questionable. lie became pas.
sionatcly attached to her, ard on learning her
true character, endeavorcd to persuade her to
become his mistress. She consented, and in that
relation took occasion to weave him still closer
about her, until he was almost completely in her
power lie lost all selfrespect, and made every
sacrifice her caprice demanded. Anything she
asked Of him, no matter how degrading and re-
voting to his nature, he did without question;
mere instrument in the hands Of this lovely but
wicked woman.
After having ruined her lover, mentally, NOR
ally, physically and pecuniarily, the Cifce began
to grow Indifferent, and finally cold toward him.
She contracted liasons with other men, and, when
demonstrated with, laughed at the poor fellow
who had been blighted by her inexorable and
rapacious demands At length his pride began
to awaken, and he threatened to leave her =; but
she, with tears and supplications, suddenly be-
came repentant and won him back again, to
continue his life Of slavery to her.
When she had thus secured him, she was again
unfaithful, and again repented, and so on, for
several months, during which time he lived in a
state of alternate delight and despair which drove
him to the excessive use of stimulants, and almost
to madness. Thus reduced to the lowest state Of
abjectness, he dragged out weary existence until
last summer, when his mistress ran away from
him with one of her former admirers. He then
attempted suicide, but was saved by medical
treatment.
The woman who had forced him to this step
then returned, having cast of the lover with whom
she ran away, and went back to Richardson for
awhile. A new face attracted her once more, and
after many violent stormy scenes with her idola-
tor, she left him for the new protector, declaring
she would never see him again. Richardson
threatened, at FIRST, to kill this last companion Of
hers, but finally, despairing Of ever winning her
back, he wrote her q note, to the effect that he
would soon rid her Of all further anxiety about
himself by dose Of poison. After reading this
note, she coOlly remarked that it was the first
sensible thing he had written her, and the very
best thing he could dol
He then executed his intention, but her callOus
indifference followed him even to the grave. On
hearing Of bis death, she exhibited no emotion
whatever, and went to tho hotel where his body
lay, merely to take from itwhat few articles Of
value he had wornl She then returned to her
new lover.

Miners making from So to $50 a-day
TIE INDIANS FRIENDLY.
People Abandoning their Homes and the Mills
TO go TO the MInesI

By the arrival at this port yesterday Of
the schooner Wild Pigeon, Capt. Jones, we
have been put in possession Of late and
highly interesting intelligence from the gold
fields of the Suswap country.
Capt. Jones reports that the excitement
relative to the gold fields lately discovered
on Frazer's and Thompson's rivers, is very
great.
A large number of persons had returned
to Victoria, Vancouver's Island, for provis-
ions and implements for mining, bringing
large quantities of gold. They report the
miners to be making from EIGHT to FIE
TY dollars per day.
The Indians in that section Of country,
heretofore regarded as unfriendly, have man.
ifested great friendship for the whites, and
no acts of hostility have been committed thus
far. They are no doubt intimidated by the
presence of so large a body of miners.
1t is estimated that some three hundred
people have left Vancouver's Island and the
lower part of the Sound within the last ten
days.
The hands employed in the various mills
are leaving, and there is scarcity Of help at
tie present tine. 1t is said that about sixty
have already left. Parties are also preFar-
irgt leave this place for the mincs.
