Fertility of West Jersey Soil.

The Salem Standard says: "It is a
prevailing sentiment among many who do
not live in this section Of the country,
that the soil of Southern New Jersey is
poor, barren and unproductive. We
know there are. and we suppose there al
ways will be men who, in spite Of the
strongest proof to the contrary, persist in
the notion that soil of sandy loan is un-
productive Let any man Of that opinion
read the statistics Of the agricultural pro-
ductions Salem County, and if he still re-
tains his old notions, he must either be a
willful liar or natural born fool. David
Petit, a farmer of Warrington township,
has sent letter to the Farmers Club at
New-York- published by them-refuting
the stigmatizing assertion that soil in this
part of the State is barren. After quot
ing from a record of the agricultural pro-
ductions of Lancaster Co., Pa, for 1850
in which. it is stated that said county has
no equal in that State, and that it raised
more oats than any county in the United
States, and more wheat than any excep

with all these great crops, the products
per acre is less than eight bushels, while th'
products of Salem County, including the un

| 8.45 bushers per acre. Salem produced q
many pounds of hay and butter per acre a
Lancaster, and produces now twice as man,
bushels of Irish potatoes as Lancaster did IL
1850, besides 100, ,000bushels of sweet potatoes
| 1t produced in 1850, 43,800 bushels of gras
seeds-more than half in the State, and NOR
than one-fourth as many bushels as New arl
which produced the largest amount of an,
State. In 1860 the crop had increased to 81,
900 bushels. The crops of grain have III
creased since 1850 to 100000 bushels or NOR
for an average yield. The crop for 1855 wa
large, estimated at nearly 100000 bushels
In other agricultural productions the Censu
Report will show Salem to have done he
share, particularly in fruit. The county ha
about doubled her productions the last twenty
five years, and, having two beds OF green-san
narl, and one of calcarious earth, or friabl
limestone, crossing the county and esay OF ae
cess, the people will be able to double thei
crops again in the next 25 years."

Iiudte, in an authoritative tone, ''why 90

the rights of an Englishman, without

| to have an honest man, my lord, no

Ell was accordingly called down from
the gallery, where he had been standing
lin view Of the elder brother, ahd impan-
neled with the rest of the jury. He had
Fn5t been long in the box, when he OBJ
served little man very busy with the
|jury; and presently he came to him and
slipped five guineas into his hand, init
mating that it was present from the
younger brother; and after his departure
the miller discovered, on inquiry of his
neighbors, that each of them had received
! dbuble that sum.
He now turned his whole attention to
the trial, which appeared to lean decidedly
in favor of the younger brother, the wit
nesses having sworn point-blank to the
death and burial of the elder BROTHER
His lord-ship proceeded to sum up the
evidences without taking notice Of several
contradictions which had taken place
between the younger brother and his
Witnesses.
After having peridiously expatiated in
favor of the younger brother, he con-
cluded; and the jury after being ques-
toned in the usual manner whether they
were all agreed, the foreman was about
to reply, whenithe miller stepped forward,
calling out, "No, my lord, we are not all
aggeed p "And pray" says his lordship,
"what objections have you, old dusty
wig?"
n have many objections, my lord; in
the first place, all these gentlemen of the
jury have received ten broad pieces Of
god from the younger brother, and |
have received but FIVE" He then pro
ceeded to point out the contradictory
evidence which had been adduced, in
such strain of eloquence that the court
was lost in astonishment. The judge,
unable longer to contain himself, called
out with vehemence, "Who are you /?
where do you come from? what is your
name 2" ~
To which interrogatories the miller
replied, II come from Westminster Hall;
my name is Matthew Hale; 1 am Lord
Chief Justice of the Court of Kings
Bench; and feeling as l do a conviction
of your unworthiness to hold so high a
judicial station from having observed
your iniquitous and partial proceedings
this day, | command you to come down
graced, and | will try this cause myself"
Sir Matthew then ascended the bench
in the miller's wig, ETC., had new jury
re. examined all the witnesses,
proved them to have been suborned; and
the circumstances being completely
changed, the verdict was unhesitatingly
given in favor of the elder brother.

you can't ketch this-a-way. They won't
go into the net; they won't touch the
hook. These are the lazy, fat old sinners
who lie in the cool places in the brook
