A TORRENT OF DEFEATS

The radicals are certainly untortu-
nate now a-days. Fate frOwnS upon
them everywhere. East, West, and
Centre, all show heavy Democratic
gains Such is the story told by the
telegraph, with iteration which must
exceedingly disgust and annoy the
radicals. five take the purely agri-
cultural communities of the great
West, the mining districts of Penn
Sylvania, the manufacturing towns
of Connecticut and New Jersey, the
ship-yards of Maine, the golden in
dustries of California, and lastly, the
great commercial and manufacturing
centres like Philadelphia ard Gin
cinnati, we find the same unvarying
voice of condemnation for this party
and lis creed.
In California and Ohio the Repub-
licans made n most animated and
earnest canvass, sparing no pains t.
a .hieve success. In Pennsylvania
and Iowa they relied on more qniet
work, avoiding, for the most part,
public discussion andexcitement. In
Maine they depended mainly on their
great majority OF last year. And vet
in all, Notwithstanding these dis =
ent tactics, we witness overwhelming
defeats. In California thay ran a
civilian acknowledged to br in part
ntrShip with knaves; in OHIO they
supported, on the contrary, soldier
of high p, rsonsl character, and vet
they succeeded about as well, OF
rather as badly, in one place as the
other.

Rotation

"Why is rotation necessary :" Ihls Is
frequent inquiry with practical men-
Surprising crop carries off certain specr
fed amount of inorganic substance from
the soil, each of which is indispensable
to its developement, it follows as mat
ter of course, that the cultivation OF the
crop, for several consecutive years, VIII
abstract so far from the supply In the soil,
as ultimately to deprive it of the power
of producing it. But all crops do not ex-
baust the soil of the special substance and
hence if we cultivate Indian corn for a
couple of years in succession, on one held,
and then potatoes, turnips, peas, beans
or carrots, we shall find that the latter
are bv no means stultified from any lack
to nutriment-each finding its approprl-
ate aliment, and in sufficient quantities
to insure its healthy growth and matu
ration. There are many organic SUP
stances in the soil which the corn plant
does not specially require,or appropriate,
aud which are consequently not e1hausN
ted by its cultivation; while each OF them
are essential to the growth of some We
getable. Hence it is that when these are
grown alternately, the productive powers
of the soil are not so rapidly exhausted,
and fertility is kept up by sort OF recup~
erative process; the organic element nee

having time to accumulate while The soil,
is occupied by another crop by which
they are not required.
In many sections of our country the In
dian corn crop is one of prime Importance
consequently it is frequently cultivated
for two, or three and even four years in
succession, on the same field, but have
observed whenever this practice has been
injudiciously adopted, that, after the third
season, generally after the second, there
islan obvious falling off, even when liberal
manuring is adopted. Very few farm
ers, therefore, who consult their own in.
terests, and who have had the benefit of
experience and observation, are found to
favor it either in theory or practice
By adoptinga judicious system of ro'
tation, and adhering rigidly to 1t, with
the assistance of copious manuring-re>
turning to the soil more, if possible than
the crops carry off-any land may be re-
tanned in condition Of high fertility;
while by an opposite course, it will as Ger,
tainly be exhausted and "run out."
1t is a principal with me never to ats
tempt the cultivation of a crop which [
cannot afford to manure well, and this
should be the policy of every farmer
One had better run in debt for manure
than exhaust his soil by cropping with
out it, or, perhaps, had better suffer his
land to rest until manure can be made

EGG ToAsT.-Cut thick slices Of
stale bread-if uery hard and dry,
dip them for moment in boiling Wa
ter, and drain. Have ready eggs
beaten very light, with a grain of -four
in; roll the slices in this, the flour
will make it adhere. Have ready a
frying-pan, in which is boiling hard,
butter, with little lard, say one
third of the latter; lay in the slices
and they will soon brown. Serve
hot, and eat with pepper and salt.
Some use boiling ham fat, instead
the butter and lard. You might try
it both ways.

lost a sheep by dogs, although dogs

Getting Sick of the Negro.

The St. Louis Democrat in an article
under this head makes the following very
sensible remarks: "Why do you say SO
much about the negro o?' ask some people.
The tongue touches the tooth that aches.
An evil, a wrong, an injustice, always will
clamor until it gets righted. All national
troubles inevitably center about some ma
tional injustice. SO the French aristocracy
used to wonder why the canaitte would
shout for "bread." So the English aris-
tocrat grumblcs at reform movements, and
wonders what on earth the working people
want of the ballot. Even SO ninety years
ago John Bull gruffly demanded why those
Americans persisted in making such fuss
about tax on tea. Injustice always seems
little thing to those who profit by it, and
very great thing to those who suffer.
TO terminate national troubles, there is
just one sure mcthod-to do equal and ex-
act justice t. all.

BIG.-WhiIe Peter Bauer was boring a
we'll on what is known as "the Survey" "
situated about three miles west of this vii
lage, the drill struck sheet of mineral.
On boring through it was found to be one
foot thick. The drill then struck rock,
which was penetrated and found to be
about eight inches. 1t again struck a
sheet of mineral, and at last accounts the
drill was going through sheet of solid
mineral, already having penetrated it three
feet There is considerable speculation as
to the extent of this sheet, some claiming
it to be fat opening of vast extent, while
others think it is only a small perpendicu-
lar crevice. 1t is however at much
greater depth than any Of the diggings in
the vicinity, and may prove source of
great wealth.
