ONO FREE NEGRO CoLoNIEs.-Thc Xenia
News. in couple of issues, has been exposing
the moral and social condition of the free negroes
in that community. We make the following
extract from one of its articles: What is the
fact. as developed in Greene county? What
has been added to our strength, rs producing
community, by the influx Of negroes We find,
upon examination, that some two or three hun.
dred negroes are idle loafers, either living on
the fruits of gambling, or are those whose mas
ters have with their freedom. giving them pro.
perty or money. Others subsist by picking up
quarters and halves in choring about town.
While few may be found, like men in the coun.
majority prefer to live about Xeniaa, and earn
precarious subsistence from day to day. Another
characteristic, and a still worse one, is that
when they get money it goes like water. The
darkey loves his good dinners, his good clothes,
and the other useless ctcctcras of life two we'll
to resist gratifying his taste as long as there is
a shot in the locker. Nor are they thrifty, when
supplied with munilicence to tart in the world
with. A gentleman from the South, who has
quartcred upon farm in our county some of
his emancipated slaves, during late visit, de-
tailed the following facts: He said he found
everything going to ruin about the place the
work thriitlessly done the negroes living like
nabobs and supporting numbers of their friends
whose purses were empty; and in few years,
if things went on as they were going they must
come TO poverty. What good will such class
of persons do the community? Unless paupcr-
ism and crime are esteemed benefits, none what
ever.

deceased went with her father and others to q
saloon to get supper, and on returning to Mr..
Martins house she went in the basement way,
followed BY her father. AS she entered the hall
the servant girl called out "halls,,' Or something
that sounded like that word, and Miss Evans
became suddenly frightened and fell to the flag

r. restore her. but she continued in'a swoon and
died in few minutes. DR.. Benton made q post
mortem examination Of the body and found that
blood vessel in the brain had been ruPtured,
and the jury rendered as follows: "That de-
ceased came to her death by shock to the nerr.
GUS system in being frightened by thinking she
perceived some strange shadow in the basement
above alluded to-" In Baltimore, Tuesday night,
James Shannessy, a lad of Is, in passing q

theory would pronounce, practice has i'll
many cases doue, that its power Of retaining
ammonia under those circumstances is at the
best doubtful"
This statement is one Of interest to far
mers and ought to receive their attention.
There is no doubt that salt is most valuable
fertilizer. In England, the salt used for agri-
cultural purposes amounts to too or three mill
lions of bushels annually. Mr. Johnston has
several times lately alluded to the beneficial
affects OF salt upon his farm in his correspon-
dence published in your columns. In the yicin-
ity OF the salt works salt is used top-dressng
to a considerable extent. ''Second quality"
OF salt, that is damaged or duty salt, is carried
Oft for this purpose by the wagon load. l have
heard good farmers say that they got two three
bushels OF barley for each bushcl of salt put on
the growing crop when fro IN six to ten inches
in height From experiments conducted under
my own observation, am satisfied tina, it is
the best possible preventive for the ravages ef
worms likely to infest any crop-the wire
worm in corn, for example, and the worms that
attack cabbages and ouions in field cultivation
Carefully conducted experiments in Great
Britain shows that salt may be spread upon
land to the extent OF sixteen bushels per acre,
before it begin to destroy vegetation much,
hut three bushels per is perhaps lalge
an application as ID ordinarily needed.
