MARKS OF THE WAR.-A correspondent
of the Chicago, Qll.) Tribune says: The
tourist who travels South expecting to see
much in the way of eaTthworks and fortid-
cations from his car window will be disap-
pointed. Almost every foot of the distance
from the Potomac to Richmond is historic
ground, but the scars OF nature quickly heal,
and except at two or three points, there is
nothing suggestive of the long war. Around
Fredericksburg, at the crossing of two An.
mas, and near Ashland, one gets glimpses
of forts or batteries, and there are plenty of
earthworks for the last three or four miles
before entering Richmond. Below Peters
burg, for twelve or fourteen miles, the at
tention is constantly held-forts, batteries,
rifie-pits, abattis and other works appearing
in rapid succession as the railway passes
through both the rebel and the Union lines.
Rain and wind have rounded all angles, and
grass and flowers are spreading themselves
where but lately cannon frowned anG senti-
mel marched. About Weldon and Colds
boro there are quick views of earthworks,
but between here and Wilmington hardly a
necessary token of war can be seen. There
are everywhere ruins OF burned homes, silent
chimneys standing alone and suggestive
doubtless they speak of wars work, but in
this the traveller can only guess"

a Horrible Disaster.

The columns of the European German pa
pers are filled with the particulars of the
greatest disaster that ever dcsolated any
mining district '-- ""- '.j ..
On the first Of July last the wooden frame
work of l 500 feet deep pit of a coal mine
in tue neighborhood of Lugan, in Saxony,
gave way, blocking up. with an impenetrable
mass of timber and rock, the pit at depth
Of about 305 ellis from the top. At the mo-
mcnt of the disaster l02 men, nearly all of
them the supporters of large families, were
working in the bottom of the mine. Their
provisions were calculated for one day. On
the 9Th of July, the date of our latest news
by mail, the place where the fallen masses
had stopped the pit was such a solid struc.
ture that the water was standing on it many
feet high. From all sides the most avail
able help was offered, but the conviction
that nothing could be done soon enough to
save the uniortunate miners weakened, as it
seems, any energetic efforts.
They were doomed to die of starvation
and want of fresh air. On the 4th of July
all attempts to reach the bottom of the mine
by any quick process were abandoned, and
a slow but sure plan was devised by which
at least the corpses of the perished could be
extracted. Iron tubes of about two feet in
diameter were to be sunk through the OBJ
| structions to the bottom of the pit. Among
the dead are forty-four married men, one of
whom had wife aud nine living children.
The scenes at the entrance of the pit are
described as lamentable without parallel.
One hundred and thirty seven children filed
the air with their woeful cries, whilst the
! superintendent of the mines, to whose negi-
| gence the disaster was ascribed by the peo-
! pie, coul only be saved from being mobbed
by his sudden imprisonment.

THE AMENITIES OF MARRIED LIPE.-

The AMENITIES OF MARRIED LIFR.-In
the Divorce Court in London, last month,
the case of Forth against Forth, a suit by
the husband for divorce on account of the
wifes cruelty, was tried. The parties were
married in 1857, and their life since then
seems to have been made mp of violent
quarrels. Mr. Forth was called, and stated
the various acts of cruelty of which he
complained. Among them was an attemp pt
to throw one Of the children by the first
marriage into the fire throwing candle.

face; throwing the contents of milk,jar

and also burning his own face with lighted

forehead open with the heel of boot
throwing baking dish with ftuit pie in
it at him, the contents going all over him

TuRNIrs.-If ruta bagas are not yet sown,
lose no time in doing SO, whenever the
ground may be moist enough to sprout the
seed quickly. The different sorts of white
tdrnips may be scwn at any time when you
get ready for them and the ground is in
order. The purple top, or any other g be
used fef stock, should be sown at once,
though for table use, as late as the Goth will
do. Turnips, as they make heavy growth
In very short time, must be well supplied
with some fertilizer. A good phosphate,
not less than five hundred pounds per acre,
should be spilled, unless the ground is very

Planting Out strawberry ,,e,,..

olrawberry plants can now be set out st
any time. 1t is true August is prnpraIlv \
very warm and very dry month, but in casa
OF the absence of rain the newly planted
peos must be watered every day or twd
until they become established.
The bed should not be in damn s;t,..
tion or the soil heavy. Dig deep, pulverize
finely, and apply pretty heavy dose of
good barnyard manure. Let the divisions
be about three and half feet in widtl, and
as long us may be desirable. Set the plants
about eighteen inches apart; insert them in
the ground firmly and well up 10 the crown,
and then keep clear of all grass and weeds.
As to the varieties, we should choose for
our own planting the following Triumph" !"
RUSSELL" and Hovey," and if we wished
another, Jucunda. They should be planted
in this wise in making up full bed, with
half dozen or dozen divisions Tri-
umph, Jucunda, 8 Hovey, Russell. In
this way fine crop is assured with as much
certainty as any thing can be. The last of
November protect the plants with straw the
first year, after that, if needed, light manure
may be substituted as covering. ..'
A half crop may be expected the first
season. A mulch of straw cut two or three
inches long will keep the ground moist and
cool, which this berry likes, and smother the
weeds Germantown Telegraph.

PREPARATION FOR GRAIN SowING.--Piow-
ing for the fall seeding should be accom-
pllshed as eafly as practicable in this month.
After corn working and harvest are over, all
other work on grain farm should give
place to this when the ground is not too
hard to admit of it. 1t is not only very dc.
sirable to lave the blowing done early, but
it 10 doubly so to avoid being thrown back
so far in the season by the effects of drought
rs to prevent proper preparation in due
time. Plow to the full depth of eight inches |,
for although it is not well to SOW on deep
loose bed, yet plowed sufficiently in advance
of the seeding the broken soil settles well
and becomes sufficiently compacted. Then
the operation of seeding with the drill or u
shallow furrow, ,mukes such a seed bed as best
suits the character of the crop. r-. .....-
: III oat stubble is to be seeded to wheat, it
is especially desirable to get it turned early
and deep, that the STRAW may decay before
being disturbed again. Let not the mistake
he made of hauling the manure to the
ground before plowing: First, because it is
much better applied after; and second, be-
cause il postpones the blowing when it is
particularly desirable to have it promp tly
done. Plow first and put on the manure
after scattering from the wagons instead os
putting into piles on the field
Prepare for sowing rye by the 1st of Sep
tember. Though not popular, nor generally
profitable crop, great deal depends upon
its early sowing and due preparation of tho
ground. For winter and spring pasture
it is very useful, but the advantage IS lost
without early sowing. Any time after tbs
middle of August is suitable for it, a light
loan, Of moderate fertility, is the beat soil
for it. ...

A NEW IDEA FOR HOUSING PoULTRY.--
A correspondent of the american 44gicul-
turist gives novel plan for poultry house.
1t consists of light building, four by nine
feet, and set upon wheels or rollers Three
feet at one end open lath work. and the re-
naming six feet partitioned off-the parti-
tion coming down within d foot of tho
ground inclosing three by four feet. The
lnciosed potion is for the roosts and nest
boxes. The house is designed for fifteen
hens, and Is to set on the grass and moved
its length every day. The writer states that
such house is in practical operation, and
works well, the advantages being that the
fowls get fresh grass every day, that they
thrive better in small than in large iocks:
that they can thus be kept more cleanly and
in better health, dnd that by moving tho
house in any locality on the premises, SO
that it may be sheltered or exposed in warm
or cold weather, more even temperature
can be maintained. The house is 70 be pro-
vided with windows and doors, and can DO
made ornamental or otherwise, to suit taste.
The idea is novel, and We should Judge
not bad one either.-Muryland Farmer.
HORTICULTURAL HlNTs-From the New
York Horticulturist, for July, we copy tho
following seasonable suggestions
Grape vines, which have been permitted
to set all their fruit freely and to grow with

error OF neglect in measure remedied. Ii

we believe We will gain even on a large
scale by now thinning out the small and
surplus berries on each bunch by means of
vine scissors. In small grounds there is no
doubt OF the value of this practice for ths
table, and We incline to belief that tho
same practice will pay in market by the ex.
ira price obtained for the grapes.
strawberry beds, as soon as they hays
uone iruiting, should be dug over deeply
between the rows, in order to have new
plants from the runners take freely. 1t is
well, as soon as the ground is dug, to go
over and train out the runners from the
main or old plants just to the point wanted,
and sprinkle little earth over each starting
bud. Repeat this from time TO time; and
early in the fall you can dig under the old
vines, and thus help to increase the yigor
