OBJECTIONS TO LONG MANURE AS Tor
DsEssING.-Top dressing with manure has
tbs one dlsadvantage-that,w when in a long
or unfermented condition, it will SOW the soil
with weeds. We have seen this in many Ca
ses, probably in consequence of the most farms
being infes ted with weeds, the seeds of which
get into the manure, and without fermenta-
ton, remain active. There are other objec-
lions TO green manure as top dressing, espe-
cisliy when applied to meadows, namely, the
inconvenience of moving, and the acrid effect
which the raw manure has upon vegetation.
But beware of the weeds.-Rurai World.

BANDAGISG WOUNDS WITH SHEET LEAD
An eminent Belgian surgeon, DR.. Burggreave,
of Ghent, has published remarkably interest
Jog narrative of his treatment of wounds BY
bandages of sheet lead. His report embraces
Two hundred and thirty-six cases, covering q
period Of twenty-eight months, from January,
1864, to June 1866. or these cases, many
Of which he reports severe and critical, he
lost only eight. The simplicity of this process
commends il to the consideration of surgeons,
and should speedily bring it to the test of wide
experiment. He washes the wound we'll with
Iukewarn water, and covers it carefully with
strips of thin sheet lead which are held in their
place by bands of adhesive plaster. Nothing
whatever is done with the knife-by way of re-
moving confused or ragged fesh-but all is
left to the process of n ature. Warm water
is thrown in jets from time TO time upon the
wound, to cleanse and to refresh it and tie
progress Of the cure may be noted By an easy
removal Of one or more of the armor plates.
These do not irritate the flesh, and being in
flexible, prevent friction. They exclude the
air, and perhaps exert some physical reaction
upon the wound. DIR. Burggraeve's cases have
been chiefly the wounds of mechanical acci
dents, and from the CORE spondence of these
to gun-shot wounds it is supposed that lead
bandag ipg would be of vast efficiency in the
army The prejudice that the idea of leaden
dressing for wounds at first excites, should Ger
tainly not prevent fair trial of the application
thus enforced by extensive and successful
use.

MOUNT Milk FOR A POUND OF BUT
TER.-A Canada correspondent of the Coun
Try GentLemdn finds that the greatest yield of
butter is IN rhe winter, when the cows have
meal and roots, and the smallest when put to
grass 10 the spring soon after calving. Thus
far during the present year he has kept a
careful record of the amount of milk given by
his OWE daily, and OF the rumber OF quarts
it has taken to make pound of butter toeek!y.
The following is the result up to August in
January the average was % quarts to make
pound of butter February, 5 Is March,
9 IA; April, II IA; May, IA; juno, ga !;
July, II 3-4 August, II IA.
From January to May, che COWS had each
three pounds of bean or Indian meal daily,
with half bushel of carrots, mangold-wurt-
eel or turnips, and about sixteen pounds OF
hay, and some Oat straw or chat, with their
roots.
Soil AS DEoDoRIzER.-The value oil
common soil az q deodorizer is very little un-
derstood. The top soil of oIen ground, es.
pecially if it be light and dry, will, if thrown
or sifted over decayiDg matter or over night
soil, render these materials ipnoxious, and
convert them in the end into most valuable
fertilizers. There is impor tance-and prof,
also-in this simple fact for every house
holder, and if it is taken advantage of it viii
promote both health aud comfort.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY was reported in one
of the city papers yesterday, that on the
night before, at the close Of the services at
the First Baptist Church, jus, as the congre-
cation were leaving, they were invited to re-
main, and they again took their seats.
THOMSON, white mar, walked up TO the
front Of the pulpit accompanied by a coA
black negro woman, and producing his mar
riage license, the twain were made one flesh
and blood, in due form, by the officiating
minister Of the church."
The pastor Of this church is the Rev. DIR.
RIB. c. HOWELL, one Of the most eminent
and respected divines Of the country. He
did not perform the ceremony-andwe have
no thought that any officiating minister
occupying his place did. We haze no idea
that any such ceremony occurred in that
church at all Il is hardly time yet for
thr,isting such disgraceful scenes before the
church congregations Of this city, 1t re-
quires the adoption Of the proposed constr
tutional amendment frst-after that we
shall be prepared to witness any thing that
Radical ingenuity, united with the ignorance
Of the negro, may choose 10 bring before US,

Hon. WILLIAM D. KELLY. a member of
Congress from Pennsylvania, after making
speech of thirty pages to prove that it is
just to protect the Eastern manufacturer,
and to impose an export duty on cotton,
says of the South:
"The poor whites must be weaned from
the rifle, net and line, by the inducements
of well-rewarded labor, their idle wives and
children may then be brought to habits of
order, method and industry, and in a few
years We shall cease to remember that in
this nineteenth century, and under our Re
publican Government, there were, for several
decades, millions of people tending rapidly
to barbarism."
Whether Mr.. KELLY believes what he
stated, matters but little. In any event, he
knows mis- own people, and if he had not
thought that they would believe it, he would
not have made the statement. 1t is not
strange that the masses North, should to-
tally misunderstood the Southern people.
That they do misconceive Southern charac-
ter, is unquestionably true. And therein
lies the hopelessness of our situation. There
is studied effort to misrepresent us, and
we cannot counteract il. That our civiliza-
ton differs from theirs, we grant; but we at
the same time contend, that in all the con-
stituents of true manhood, ours is incom-
parably the superior. With true Puritani-
cal egotism and self-sufnciency, they style
all that does not conform to this notion, bar
bariSm.
