OBITUARY.

Died, in Charlotte, the 4th nst after protraced
illness of eight weeks L. Granville Jones' eldest of
DR. L G Jones. 1t saddens the hearts of those who
knew him well, and especially of his numerous rela-
tves who best knew his generous warm frank, benevo
lent and afectionate nature, to know that but
lately combining in eminent degree all the elements
requisite to the high enjoyment of social and joyous
e and of dispensing comfort and JOY to Others should
the insatiate destroyer To mind highly appreciative
of all that beautiful and lovely in nature,
added high and nice of honor. Amidst all the
that enshrouds the hearts of his home circle
his loved ones-the heart rejoices midst its grief to
know that death to him had terrors, and that his
loved spirit took its flight rejoicing in the glory and
goodness of God and that the lusrons beams of his
expressive eyes, and the happy smile of his radiant
counenance in the last of his life, well
his dying words testified to the unspeakabe happiness
of his departing spirit Peace to thy ashes, dear
time will not erase from the memory of many the
illness of thy visage and the nobility of thy heart B.

Bag- The authorities of Richmond, Va, have
adopted measures to prevent an influx to that city
of the laboring poor Of the northern cities. They
have very properly guarded the aboring classes of
Richmond against being over-run by the paupers
from the North, many of whom, doubt, helped
to elect Lincoln and brought the distress upon
themselves. 1t would be we'll for all southern
communities to adopt some plan to prevent the sur
plus population of the North from flowing too free
ly into this section. Such persons might give US
serious trouble hereafter. Besides, let own
people have employment first.

Tue practice Of sowing turnips among Indian
corn, at the last hoeing, and especially where
The latter has been thinned By worms or other
insects. ia one which cannot be too urgently re-
commended. The turn;p is vegetable which
requires less assistance frcm ko1ar liz ht during
the incipient stages Of its Development, than al.
most any plant III the y hole catalogue Of edi-
bles; consequently, it is but slightly injured by
the foliage Of the corn plants, Or the closeness
Of the atmosphere thus created. Afterthe corn
crop is harvested, and before the advent of
iFost, there will be aap1e time Tor them to root,
especially if the soil be well cultivated. Burnt
lands, in which the natural vegetative powers
Of the eoil are augmented By the alkaline prin-
c1pies OF the ashes, are very favorable to the
cultivation Of turnips; aud when thev are
soTed among co-n Oh kuc.1, they almost invari-
ably produce q lucrative crop. Hundreds of
bushtls Of excellent turnips NAV frequently be
grown in this way without any appreciable di.
minution Of the corn crop. "Economy ls
wealth" saya the adage, and il is certain no one
extent his meaus Ior future operations md en-
te1pr1scs- In this business OF producing CHEAP
crops in substitution lor the more extensive
cereals, We gain seYeral important advantages,
among which may he mentioned as not tbs
least prominent, tie sasing Of time, and the re-
al,zation Of lucrative yield Of produce from
land prepared for another species Of roots or
gram. The ravages OF insects often prove fatal
TO many vegetables especially to Indian corn !;
and when this happens, unless the vacated land
can be filled with some crop Of later growth, it
must remain, either in part or wholly idle.
Again, the turnip bears late sowing 80 well
that It may be grown on fields, from which ear
" vegetables have been taken; it succeeds well
after crop Of peas, beans, DC.
Bone manure, wood ashes, lime and poudrette
all excellent articles to be used in the cult-
Hf md 5a1
and bones dissolved in sulphuric cid-itself
possessing powerful stinsulant and manurial
properties, makes un admirable dressing. Gyp.
sum also, is applied With success, both before
and after planting. Green and fermerted man
ures sh,.uid never be used on this crop.
