A NOVEL MODE OF FERTILIZING.-D J..
Cummins, Esq, of this town, is now plowing
up clover field of from fifteen to twenty acres,
from which it is estimated that $500 worth OF
hay might have been harvested, preparatory
to putting in his next wheat crop. The OBJ
ject is to fertilize the land while the sap is in
the grass. The experiment, which attracts the
notice of the farmers, will prove the benefit.

The Fourth of July.


In our advertising columns will be found
call for a meeting tomorrow evening at Wards
Hall TO make arrangements for the celebration
of our National Birthday in an appropriate
and patriotic manner. We certainly ought: to
have, in the way of Fourth of July celebra-
ton something as grand as the occasion is i'm
portant If it were patriotic and pralseworthy
to commemorate the Nation birth, it is equal
ly patriotic and praiseworthy to celebrate Its pre-
servation. If blood and treasure were poured
out freely in the first instance, it has been CIV
EN- none the less freely in the second; 1T was
alike necessary in both. We have the double
cause for joy and thanksgiving. For the last
four years-'6l, '62, '63 and Give have
celebrated the day, but our wonted JOY was
mixed with sorrow and misgiving; it was more
of supplication for the future than JOY Tor the
past But '65 relieves our fears, revlVes our
dropping spirits and restores our joys. Couid
we,. if we desired, subdue our feelings OF de-
light?-would we, if we could?
Let all party feeling be set aside on tins oo-
casion. Let political differences be absorbed
in the universal Jubilee Peace, that all pray
ed for. has been restored; the Unlon that we
all professed to love, is still the UniOn--re-
claimed the Flag, that recently we have all
professed to recognize as the National EN-
blem, is the National emblem-these consti-

We see that Governor Curtin, of Pennsyl
vania, has issued an address to his State re
commencing that the approaching anniversar!
be one of welcome to our returning heroes
The idea is regarded with favor by other States
and it is suggested that something of this kim
should be made general throughout the Union
The approaching anniversary being the frs
after peace, it is appropriate that we shoul
render the full share of honor to those who
at the risk of even life, brought about thi
peace. They are returning home by thousand
every day to every State in the Union; yet
is rare that they receive local welcome. E:
Ipecially is this the case in our own State
Is not some mark of respect due them-sOm
token ofsorrow to those who have fallen?
: withhold it would be disrespect to our lOya
ty, an offence to their patriotism. Nothir
|
could be more grateful to them than an a
: knowledment that their struggles have bee
n appreciated by their friends and the count
e for whom they fought. Had they failed, i
stead of anticipating jubilee we would ha
r been mourning defeat.
A sumptuous feast has been prepared f
them on former occasions, when they were Fl
y loughed. This, we should suppose, would Il
:, be inappropriate or impracticable. 1t wor
: be far better than wasting our money and et
ing out our patriotism on sky-rock
and fre-crackers At all events, let us ha
III something at once commemorative of the p
OF and of lasting remembrance, not to say bene
T. in the future,-something that will show tn,
re that while we had inaffable pride in their w
u, like achievements, we did not mean to rel
ID them with neglect now that they are among

A New REAPER AND MowER.-The Moni-
tor is the name of new reaper and mower for
which Hoffecker & Co., of this town, have the
State Agency. 1t has been in use three years,
and has, we learn, given satisfaction in every
instance. Such was the demand for it last year
that the manuiacturer-F Nishwitz, Williams
burg, L. I.-could not fill his orders by 1000
machines, but by Increased facilities he expects
to be able to meet the increased demand. The
following are the desirable points, viz: light
ness with strength and durability, easy draft,
convenience of management, portability, sim
plicity of construction, and adjuStability to al
the different kinds Of work or land on which il
is used. But the great desideratum to the
farmers is that it is from $50 to $50 cheaper
than any other machine of the same quality
By test Of dynamometer, the draft has beer
found to be less by SO or 81 pounds than any
other machine extant. Farmers and others il
need will do we'll to call on the agents herr

I'm our Eigh School and District School No.

beenlin use two years; those in the High
School during this winter. So far they
have given entire satisfaction. For eff
ciencyip warming, quality of heat, econo-

The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, Of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building of this city in November last and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces In the following
important particulars 1t has, compare
lively. a greater heating surface; produces,
a larger volume of heat with given amount
Of fuel; the condition OK the air In respect
totemperature, moisture and purity, is SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply Of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated .. sra,
T6avoid scorching and decomposing the
ali, as Is done, to some extent, by other hot
airfirnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply of pure, fresh air, warmed
toa pleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect tn. wrought-iron air-hues from
the effects Of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This viii insure the
Influx of such large and rapid current OF
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
flues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability Of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in q heaIthftl condition. 1t Is
deemed proper to State in thissconnection,
that our Board Of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnaces, becatise two
other furnaces had been previously used In
out school editice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after q careful examine
tion of large number OF furnaces and
other modes Of warming school houses and
other public edlices, not only In Western,
but also In, Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was
elieved to be decidedly the best.
