NV Tue.-The Toledo Commercial, of the
says: a new tug, which has been named
the James Barr, made her appearance in
our harbor yesterday. The Barr is a very
neat craft of the following dimensions 4;
Length SO feet breadth of beam, 10 feet
depth Of hold 3 feet. Her engine is a fine
piece of machinery, manufactured by Ma
gle and Weed, of Buffalo, and was put up
by Geo. Balch. The cylinder is IOxlO. The
hull was built at Maumee during the past
winter, by James Carroll. and finished by
James Barn, her owner and master. This
tug is intended for light towing OF the river

IS well adapted for the business"

and other desirable varities are in very light
stock. Milwaukee spring advanced IOc per
bushel to-day, closing at $500 asked. Corn
Is IN fair request, and prices continue m
settled and irregular. Oats continue quiet

BARK JoHS swEEsr.-The Chicago Times,
of the I'd inst, after alIuding TO the violent
storm which prevailed on Monday evening,
saysi
CeGselessly the gale swept tho waters Of
the lake, beaHng them into serried waves
Of immense volume and hurting them with
fierce contention along the sinuous stretch
of leach. The lighter craft crept and ling
cred safely in port, fearful Of the risk,
while the spars and canvass of the stronger
vessels were strained TO their utmost ten
sion. Doubtless many accidents occurred,
but the only one that has been reported
was that Of the bark John Sweeney, that,
bleaching her moorings, sailed ont of the
river, and. after being tossed and whirled
on the high waves, was caught in a sudden
squall and had her mainsait rent from its
ropes and strewed in myriad fragments on
the waters. She Nas bound for Buffalo, but,
meeting With the accident at Grove Point,
was compelled TO refurn.

The Value of Turf,

Very few farmers are aware of the quantity
OF actual decomposable vegetable matter con-
talhed IN square yard of turf" taken from
the surface OF well-set sward land Accurate
experiments have shown that not less than
thlrty tons exist In an acre, most of which are
roots and hbres, small portion only of the
mass being above the surface. Il win hence
be seen that by inverting the sward of unlands
and meadows, and allowing the sward to de-
compose undlsturbed, a most important humans

fertility of any soil, and as it is replete with
juices and other principles that not only favor.
but insure speedy decomposition, the ad,
yantages resulting to the farmer from frequently
inverting hissward lands-where circumstances
require it-are far greater than we should be
induced to suppose. Many are inclined to
the opinion that when lands in grass are broken
up-unless they have been depastured-the
mere addition of the vegetable matter, roots,
grass, ETC., contained in it is of little or no
Importance; but allowing the quantity of
organic matter to be only fifteen tons to the
acre-one halt the quantity contained in an
acre OF good sward land-it will be seen at
once that very great benefit must be derived
from Its presence and action, both of the soil
