10 distract the North by advocating measures
of the basest and most grUvelins nature, such
as every honorable citizen would shrink from

would destroy the Republic to preserve the
party, and follow little too close on the
heels of John c. Breckenridge TO be loyal to

HINTS For THE FARMERs

To get rid Of big stones, bury them 81
deep that the sob-soi pillow will not touch
them. 1t is easier than to cart them off to
cover perhaps some other ground; and more
over it is a good bargain: you swap stones
for soil
Frederick Holbrook says that tablespoons
full of Goes snper-phos phate of lime, in each
hill of corn, will make the corn shoot ahead
with great Insurance. This to give the corn
an early start; but for steady growth apply
manure freely. For oats, grain and grass
seed. Mr.. II. says that $50 lbs. of super phos-
phate to the acre increased the crop of grain
and straw, and gave superb catch of grass.
The Long Island farmers, in planting po-
tatoes, cut off the seed end or small cluster
of eyes, giving them to the pigs, and then
cut the potatoes lengthwise into quarters.
They say they get as many pounds Of pota-
toes in this way, and al large; while the seed
end runs to small potatoes. Three to five
vines in hill are enough. But Long Island
has poor soil. In good soil five vines are
few enough.
DO not prune your fruit trees tin June, and
later still will be better.

TRUE PATRIOTISM

We learn that Phillips Hill of East Mont.
pelier, thrifty farmer, has three sons who
are not only old enough, but have willing
hearts for the service of their country. Yves.
ley, the Oldest, being about 20 years Of age
was residing with his brother-in-law in the
town of Stove. At the time when the de.
mand was made on this State for troops, he
embraced the first opportunity for Offering his
services for the emergency by going to Nor
ristown to enlist but owing to defect in
one of bis eyes, he was denied the privilege.
On being refused he Immediately returned to
his sisters husband, and told him il he would
enlist he Phillips would stay with his fami-
", and take charge Of his farm at half sol
diers pay His two younger brothers. Jo-
seph and Harrison, have enlisted under Ma
jor Burnham of this village We are assured
that they are strictly moral young men. en-
dowed with noble qualities, and every way
worthy of promotion. We throw out this
last suggestion for The consideration of .heir

AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Wasbintone
correspondent ofthe New York Tribune writes
to that journal that it is now acknowledged
in Washington, even by those who at first Oh
Jected, % that the action Of the War Depart
ment IN the eight days following the riot at
Baltimore was judicious and necessary to
prepare the way for the intelligent prosecution
ofpolicy now determined on. Taken by sur
prise, not ready with the overwhelming force
properly equipped, wherewith to cut direct
path the question was between a cirouitous
route with the certainty of arriving at the
destination, and an "abortiye and murderous
attempt at drectness."
