We received yesterday morning, dispatch
received, at Burlington the.night before, in !.
forming as OF the unexpected but very graft
tying fact that the Atlantic Telegraph cable
has been successfully laid, and that as soon
as the connections with the shore line can
be satisfactorily made, messages win be reg
ularly transmitted over il. The dispatch will
be found in another column.
We have received one such ammo
before, which proved bogus, but we know
not why to suspect this Of being manufac.
tured, rs it comes connected with no such
sensation" news as accompanied that, and
wepresume it is authentic. We await with
interest the result Of the experiments te
work direct through to Europe, and the dem.
onstration Of the practical success Of thi,
marvel Of the nineteenth century.
- Since writing the above, we observe an
other Dispatch, published in the St. Loui,
Erening Hsps, little earlier than tina
which wspablish, and containing none Of tn,
desaiis, but making the announcement, from
New York, Of the success Of the Telegraph
We think it is a fixed fact.

Limited partner.h,p..

MEssRs. EDlToRs: With your permission
and for the information Of the public, de.
sire to make brief statement of the pro.
visions of "An Act for the formation o.
limited partnerships" passed by the las
General Assembly. do SO because Of tn,
Importance Of the act itself to business men
and also because have noticed erroncou.
statements in regard to its provisions in ths
newspapers, one of which appeared in the
Gate of this morning, copied from the Mus.
catine Journal.
The act does not apply 10 nor interfere
with general partnerships as they have ex.
listed heretofore and now exist in this State
nor does it in any manner change tho Law
heretofore in force concerning them but i.
| provides for the creation Of a new kind OF
partnership, called s'limited partnership .
where persons desire it, in the following man
ner:
The partnership must consist of one or
more general partners, who IRE liable as such,
and of one or more special partners who
may contribute any sum they may choose to
the capital stock Of the firm, and who are
only liable to the extent Of the sum 80 con.
tributed for the debts OF the partnership
Persons desiring to form such partnership
must make and sign n certificate, setting
forth the name of the firm, the nature Of
the business to be transacted, the name Of
oil the partners general and special, the
amount OF capital which each Of the special
partners, shall have contributed to the COM
mon stock, and the time of the commence
ment and expiration OF the partnership
Such certificate must be acknowledged and
fled in the Office OF the Clerk Of the District
Court and by him recorded in book to be
kept for that purpose. One Of the general
partners must also file an affidavit stating
that the amount of the capital contributed
by the special partners, as set forth in the
aforesaid certificate, has been actually paid in.
The terms of the partnership must be pub
lished for six weeks prior to commencing
business, in two newspapers. No part of the
sum contributed by the special partners can
be withdrawn during the continuance Of the
partnership, but they may receive lawful in
terest on the came and their share Of the
profits. No alteration can be made in the
names Of the partners, kind Of business, or
in the capital stock or shares, during the
continuance Of the partnership. No disso
luton can take place except by notice being
recorded and publication for four weeks in a
newspaper. All fraud is guarded against by
a stringent penal provision. The general
partners are alone authorized to conduct the
business anI bind the firm.
4 These are the main features Of the net.
Yours Respectfully,

at Carr Place, late in the canvass, Mr.. Bar

himself and Mr.. Blair on the question o,

that he was more favorable to Emancipation
than Mr.. Blair. These are bis words: afte,

one Kundred Tons OF Grass 20 the
Acre.

one Aundred Tons OF Grass 10 the
Acre.
A statement was copied from an Enelish
paper some time since, setting forth that on
hundred tons of grass had grown II one ga.
son from u single acre, on land belonging e
the estate. OF Lord Derby. Many supposed
that therwmust DO mistake in these figures,
but gentleman who recently visited this o.
tate SAYS:
"Tour or FIVE crops Of the heavy, stout, In.
dim rye grass il not unusual; and Mr.. Meohi
Of the celebrated Triptree Farm, informed
me tina. he had once grown seven crops
during the summer. This grass grows with
great rapidity aud luxurianoe under the sys.
tenn of irrigation adopted on many Of tbs
large estates in England, and particularly BY
Mr.. Mech, Of applying liquid manurel
through pipes embedded in tho soil"
In publishing the above fact the Valley
Farmer says:
eThe American farmers can hardly form a
remote idea Of the benefits that are yet to
result from science applied TO farming. -
Land draining, trench blowing, irrigation,
and liquid manuring, are agencies yet to b.
employed to swell the products Of our lead
ing crops to an extent now almost exceeding
belief"

BLACKBERRY WIsH.-There is no wine equal
to the blackberry wine when properly made,
either in favor or for medicinal purposes
and oil persons who can conveniently do so,
should manufacture enough for their own
use every year, as. it is invaluablei in sickness
as tonic, and nothing 10 better remedy
for bowel diseases. We therefore give tho
receipt for making it, and having tried !.
ourselves, We speak advissdly on the subject:
"Measurc your berries and bruise them to
every gallon adding one quart Of boiling wa
ter. Let the mixture stand twenty -four
hours, stirring occasionally; then strain OF
the liquor into cask, to every gallon add
ing two pounds Of sugar; cork tight, and let
it stand until the following October, and you
will have wine ft for use, without further
straining or boiling, that will make lips smack
us they never smacked under similar inhu-
ence BEFORE"

over in committee for the space of Eve hours,
and was finally agreed on by a vote Of eleven

the rcen-English dodge was prescribed, by
the infallible Sanhedrim, as the true and

THE CABLE LAIDr

We have just received the following dis
patch, containing the unexpected news Of the
successful laying of the Telegraph Gable:
TRINITY Bar, N. r., Aug. 5.
To the Associated Press:
The Atlantic Telegraph Fleet sailed from
Queenstown, on Saturday, July 18th, and ar
rived MT mid Ocean on Wednesday, 2Sth.-
Made the splice At LIP. m. on Thursday, Goth,
and then separated-the Agamemnon and
Yalorous bound to valentia, ireland, and the
Niagara and Georgian for this place, where
they arrived yesterday, and this morning the
end of the cable will be landed. 1t is 1898
nautical or 1850 statute miles from the tele-
graph house at the head Of yalnea harbor to
the telegraph house, Bay OF Balls, Trinity
Bay, and for more than two-thirds OF this
distance the water 10 over two miles in depth.
The cable has been paid out from the Aga
memnon Ut about the same speed as from the
Niagara. The electrical signals sent and
received through tho whole cable are perfect
The machinery for paying out the cable
worked IN the most satisfactory manner, and
was not stopped single moment from the
time the splice Vas made until We arrived.
Cupt. Hudson, Messrs. Everett, Wood
house, the Engineers, the Electricians and
Officers OF the ships, and in fact, every man
on board Of the telegraph feet have exerted
Themselves to the utmost to make the expe-
diticn successful, and By the blessing Of BIZ
vine Providence il has succeeded. After the
end Of the cable 10 landed and connected with
the land line Of telegraph, and the Niagara
has discharged some cargo belonging to the
Telegraph Company, she will 80 to st. Johns
for coal, and then proceed at once to New
York.
