Some oi our readers will remember that We
stated some months ago, that we lad been add
yiscd that Mr. Russell Sturgis. respected
merchant OF our City, had, while acting Tor
tie Government in the purchase or charter Of
vessels, received or bargained fcr commissions
OF those nno sold or chartered their vessels 10
tie Government through his influence. Mr.
Sturgis thereon sent US card which seemed
eYasiye, and we So characterized il. lie wrote
u agan, percmptorily and squarcly denying
what Lad been asserted TO his prejudice; which
we regarded and treated as conclusive. Yet in
a new Report from the Joint Committee on
the Conduct OF the War, We find the following:

Stops Of Kitchen and Chamber.

Few persons are aware how much can be
accomplished in slgne year by saving and
using the Stops ofkitcken and chamber We
know of more than one man, who on hiring a
village house and garden, with the soil nearly
worn out, has made it quite productive,
chiefly by this simple means. One of these
pursued the following course n OF being able
to buy much manure, he placed a tight barrel
near the kitchen door, where it could receive
daily offerings from upstairs and downstairs,
and weekly gifts from the wash-tub. Every
night in Summer, on1returning from his shop,
Mr.. X. took pail and watering pot, and seat
tered the rich Stops between his rows of cab
bages, beets, potatoes, beans. &c. The rain
fell often enough to dilute his liqnids. In
the FAN it appeared that his WORKOUT grounds
yielded better than that of his iorehandesl
neighbors.
Our advice. would be to big pit somewhere
in the rear Of the dwelling, wall it up with
slab, plank OF brick, and conduct all the slops
of the house into it through drain. Into
this reservoir cast, from week to week. all
manner OF aGsorbents. When the pit is filed
it will be worth good deal of money. But
let each man take his own way of economic
ing. Only let some plan be pursued of saving
all the refuse perishablc material about a
place, and converting it into manure. This is
the way to fer'ilize land and to feed its &C.
cupants. -.9meyican Agrituiturist.

New and Cheap Fences.

~ new style of cheap fence is thus described
In the Country GcHilemGn Sc 1t is made OF
split rails, and common worm fence nav be
converted into one of this sort 1t is COM
posed Of six rails Of each length, and is five
feet high. 1t occupies more space than a
post or board fence, but much less than a
worm fence. The uprights, which hold the
rails to their place, simply two sawed
strips wood, about five inches wide, an inch
and a half thick and five feet long, the length
being equal to the Wight OF the fence. They
are connected by mailing blocks between
them, leaving them about five inches apart
One OF these blocks is at the bottom, the
other within about a foot Of the top. On the
latter the three top rails rest. Three large
nails are driven at each place into the blocks
The fence Is kept upright BY a brace on
each side, which also serves as an additional
security in holding the uprights together
These braces ale five feet long, about eigh-
teen inches Of the lower entering the earth -
Three large nails secure the upper end to the
uplghts. They may be of sawed stuff, or
split like common fence stake. The lower
ends of the uprghls rest on flat stone. 1t
will be obscrvt d that no part is subject to
decay, except the braces, the lower ends Of
which will enter the ground. These will
need occasional renewing, unless of durable
wood. All the rest will last as long as the
rails, or thirty or forty years. If the nails,
before using, are dipped in hot grease, oil or
Fas-ar, they will not rust for long time
The braces should press against the uprights
about three feet high"
