though they had been sold off directly for
cash. and there is the manure left to give

is peculiarly active. and inclined to fermenta-
ton, and mixed with other farm yard manure,
it quickens the effects Of the whole upon the
soil and crops. | might say more about this,
but must pass on.
There is the feeding of cattle for beef,
which has always been successfully practised
and every farmer knows how much more
powerful is the effect upon the soil Of the
manure from fatting cattle, than that from
cattle which only have hay and other forage.
1t is generally quite profitable to rear young
cattle of good breed, for their growth and
improvement, feeding them little grain
along with the forage crops Their growth
and general improvement often pays a large
profit on the cost Of making it,

A British officer writing from Teheran,
Persia, to the London Times, remarks /:
"a Cathartic Pill, manufactured by an
American Chemist, CDR. j. G. AVER, of
Lowell, Mass.) has cured the Shah of a
Liver Complaint that threatened his life.
This simple fact, as might be expected,
renders the Americans Intensely popular
here, while we English are overlooked.
Doubtless our W scholars made the
discoveries which he employs, and thus
it is in everything we do the labor, lhen
the housing Americans put their mark
on it and take the reward. DR.. Aver is
idolized by the Court and its retainers
here, which will doubtless be reflected to
him on a gold snuff box or diamond
hilted sword, while not the name even
of Davy, Christoson or Brodie - the
great lights by which he shines, is
known."-New York Sunday Paper.

Sad Accidents.
~- We learn that on Tuesday, OIL
last week, Mr.. EDWARD RYAN, a farmer,
living in Byron Township. was accident
ally killed by the falling of a heavy gate
upon him. 1t seems that Mr.. RYAN had
bought a COW Of a neighbor, and on
Tuesday went to take her home. The
o was in a field, and the neighbor told
him to go and drive her down, and he
would then help him to drive her home.
Mr.. RYAN started for the field, and the
neighbor, finding that he did not return,
went to see what the matter was, when he
found the gate down, and Mr.. RYAN ly-
ing under it, dead, his skull having been
badly fractured. Mr.. RYAN leaves a wife
and several children to mourn his loss.
On Wednesday of last week, Mr.. Gus
rAvus LANG, of Superior Township, took
a little daughter of his, about two and a
half years of age, and went several rods
from his house to look at a coal-plt, In
which he was burning some charcoal
Finding that the pit wanted repairing in
one place, he went up to do it, telling his
daughter to stay where she was, and not
attempt to come up. While busy, how
ever. the father heard a noise, and look
ing round, saw that his daughter had at
tempted 10 climb to him, and had broken
through the covering of the pit, and was
hanging by her little arms. He immedi-
ately sprang to her and pulled her out,
but found that she was burned almost
black up to her waist. The little suffer-
