Top Dressing for Gras. Lunds.

A writer in the Gardeners Chronicle
lays it down as the result of his expert
ence, first: that the proper time TO top
dress lands is in the fall, and secondly,
that the stock should not be permitted
10 remain thereon late in the fall. in
support of the first of these propositions
he maintains that as the temperature of
the soil and atmosphere being cold in
winter, the dung affords protection TO
the tender roots of the plants, and that
whatever PARTICLES of fertility which
may exist in the manure, are in winter
washed down into the soil, and lose out
little of their virtue by evaporation,
and that the drying winds and sun of
summer are more injurious to the man
ures than any drenching rain can be.
Immediately after the autumnal appli-
cations of manure, he recommends that
the meadows should be thoroughly har.
rowed-a most wise recommendation is
this, enc that will greatly encourage the
economy of the manure.

Improved Condition orFnrmcr.

AS rule, there is undenialbly, says a
contemporary, more education, intclli-
gence and refinement among farmers
than there existed generation since.
These, of course, call for tho enjoyment
of a greater measure of the luXuries OF
life-in fact, the two go hand i'll hand,
the enhanced means affordIng facilities
for better education and the increase OF
intelligence and refinement, calling for
a style of living different from that
which satisfied the uneducated mind.
Be this as it may, farmers as a class,
have with many exceptions, Of course, J
n thousand fold more of the comforts and
luxuries of life than were enjoyed by
their fathers. They live in better houses
with better furniture-they ride in bet.
ter carriages, wear. better clothning, 20
more regularly to church, enjoy more
social intercourse, exhibit greater de
gree Of intelligence and more refined
manners-in short, come nearer the
standard gentlemen, than did their an,
cestors, as class, thirty years ago

Letters from the People.
FROM MONONGALEA co.
LONE JACK, MoNoNGALIA Co., !
w. Va, Sept. 3, 1867. !

Editor Of the Register:
Until very recently, no remarkeJle
event has disturbed the tranquility OF
of our usual quiet horizon. A few
nights ago worthy yeoman of this
neighborhood, while in his bed wrapped
in slumbers, was attacked by blood
thirsty midnight sneak in the shape OF
"big Gnaw-a-way-rat which made
a courageous assault upon his ground
works. Being much fatigued with his
field-toils of the preceding day, he
bore the assault with an unusual degree
of resignation, and was aroused
barely in time to save himself,
but not until his cuticle was
eaten through to the quick. For
several days he was unable to move
about except with the aid of crutches.
These suspicious looking "varmints''
have, offate, attracted the attention OF
the farmers of this section. They seem
to be on a crusade, having their COM
pass set Northward, and are quite an
moving to the farmers of this section.
Is it not fair to conjecture that these
carnivorous hordes are seeking the
father-land of some distinguished apoS-
tie of "great moral ideas" away up i'll
the country of the self-righteous Pur-
itans. We would suggest the idea that
the Governors send for few regiments
of the Brownlow Malitia aad drive
these invaders from the soil of West
Virginia. Truly Yours,
BLUE RIDGE.

The ~. CIairsvIIle Meeting.

Tomorrow the Democrats of Eastern
Ohio and the Pan handle will be address
ed at st. Clairsville by Messrs. PENDLE-
Ton and THURMAN, two of the first and
best men of the country. The prepara-
tiOns for making this occasion a memor-
able one, are complete and extensive.
1t is now known that, with favorable
weather, the Grand Mass Meeting will
be al immense success.
The Committee of Arrangements
appointed at the meeting on Friday
night, have made all necessary provis.
ion to secure the representation of oul
Ohio county Democrats at St. Clairs'
Vile to. morrow. As announced on Sat-
urlay, the procession will form at
Bridge Corner, at quarter before seven,
We hope that al! who desire to behold
the magnificent display of the Belmont
Democracy will be promptly on hand
Certainly We will not soon have anOth-
er opportunity to witness the patriotic
demonstrations of so many thousands
of enthusiastic Democrats.
We are requested by the committee
TO state that fine band of music has
been procured and will head the pro,
ecssion. Also, that conveyances will be
provided for the accommodation o.
such as have no vehicles of their own.
Persons desiring seats can secure tick.
cts for the same, at any time after ten
o'clock this morning, by calling upon
the Chairman, Mr. w. w. MILLER, cor.
ner Main and John streets, or at the
REGISTER office.

CoIopeI John 8. Hoffman.

We clip from the Clarksburg COnserra
tire the following paragraph in relation
to a well-kuown legal gentleman of oul
State:
We see our esteemed friend, Colonel
Iohn S. Hoffman, at his old employment
in the United States Court. Since his
return to this section, Colonel Hoffman
has shown little disposition to resume
the practice of the law. His long and
thorough research into the land titles
and land law of the country, however,
make il difficult for him to retire from
his old cases or avoid engagement in new
ones. We learn that he will give to
those who desire it, the benefit of his
services in the United States Courts, in
the preparation of important cases in
the State Cuurts, and in the investiga-
ton of land titles.
We cheerfully give place to this NOTES
of the return of one of our first lawyers
to his old place in our United States
Courts Colonel HoFFMAN's reputation,
as land lawyer, is of the highest order,
and We are glad to add that it is well
deserved. In this branch of the prac'
tice he is admitted to have no superiors
in the State.

The party was returning home, with the
wagon loaded with apples, when, it ap-
pears, the load being heavy, the wagon,
in consequence Of some fault with the
harness, ran into the animals heels
in coming down the steep hill opposite
town, and away be shot, like an arrow,
down the pike toward the suspension
bridge. In turning the bend of the road,
near Mr.. Samuel Howells resi- dence, in
attempting to jump from the wagon,
Miss Maggie Lazier was thrown upon
the hard road, her head striking the
ground, and the wagon passing over
her left ankle. At about the same time
Miss Vance was thrown out, and her
clothes became entangled in the wheel.
The horse was going at his utmost
speed, and she was completely tied to
the wheel, whirling through the air,
dragged over the rough, sharp stones,
stunned, bleeding and senseless, for
over hundred yards! Her clothing,
all torn to shreds, finally became disen-
gagged from the wheel, and she was
free, but lay upon the ground notion
less. She was quickly taken into Mr..
William Fears residence, where Drs.
McLane and Brock restored her to con-
seriousness and dressed her wounds. By
this time the horse and wagon had clear
ed the bridge, Notwithstanding the ut
most endeavors Of several persons to
stop him, and was almost flying up Bank
street when he was ''fnally brought up
standin'" by Jacob Blue, a colored man,
and Miss Lou. and the little boys found
to be unhurt, except from the big scare
experienced on the occasion.
The two injured ladies were conveyed
home in carriage, and are now recoY-
ering rapidly.
The shafts and foot board of the wagon
were broken, but the horse escaped un-
hurt.

agricultural College.

Editor of the Register;
/ perceive by the Act of Congress
passed July 4th, 1866, entitled Gan Act
concerning certain lands granted to the
State of Nevada" that that body has by
necessary implication already declared
that any application of the proceeds to
any other subject than the teaching of
agriculture and the mechanic arts
without its consent, shall work for.
feiturs. Section Sd of that act reads as
follows: THAT the grant made by law
the 2nd day of July, 1862, to each State,
of land equal to 10000 acres for each OF
its Senators and Representatives in
Congress, shall extend to the State OF
Nevada, and that the diversion Of the pro-
ceeds of these lands in NerGdd from the
teaching of agriculture and the mechanic
arts 10 that of the theory and practice o.
mining is dllo,red and authorized rithou'
causing forfeiture Of the grant" -.
This is equivalent to saying that II
such diversion should be made without
its consent, it would work forfeiture;
and makes it clear that, without its
consent, a failure in any respect to
make agriculture and the mechanic
arts" the leading object" of the
College will work a forfeiture of the
grant. Do the Managers and Faculty
in our case expect, or have they already,
the promise of our Senators and Repre-
sentatives TO obtain the consent of Con-
gress to such perversion as they have
attempted j think our farmers and
mechanics at least, will have word to
say on that subject.
| Very respectfully, G. p.

The California Calamity.

The details of the recent Radical dis
aster in California are nearly all in, and
they show the affair to be much more
distressing than was at first supposed.
The latest Radical estimates place
HMGHT's majority at 5000. Consider
ing that at the last Governors election
the Radicals carried the State by over
$4,000, the change is not altogether in
significant.
As in the case of Connecticut, the
Radical journals are gravely attempt
ing TO solve the mystery of this grievous
mishap. They are setting forth all
sorts of "I-told- -you-sO" theories in ex-
planation. The most plausible seem to
be those which refer the unpleasant
ness to sundry corruptions and abuses
now, for the first time, admitted to ex-
lst in the high courts of the "loyaP'
temple. When we reflect upon the
character of the remedy. we can form
some idea as to the nature Of the disor-
der.
Upon certain occasion, when FRED.
DOUGLAS was narrating his sufferings in
slavery, an Irishman interrupted him
"Ye say they fogged ye FREDr'
Yes" An is it thrue they gagged ye y
Every word oft, l assure you." "They
branded We with hot iron, ye sayf'
"They did" "Thin, by my soul, ye
must have been a divilish name, dirty
nagur." In like manner the severity
of the California corrective proves Cal
ifornia Radicalisn to be "a divilish
name, dirty" affair. At the same time
it would be difficult to point out the
difference between it, and the Radical
ism of any other State.
The New York Tribune is by no means
satisfied with the result. 1t scolds like
vixen housewife on rainy wash-day
1t says:
1t is very poor satisfaction to be tOlt
in dispatches from California that the
Republicans might have elected theil
Governor. A great many good thing
"might have been.n There is scarce
doubt that Haight is elected Governor
and that Phelps is defeated for Congress
in the San Francisco District. Nor,
than this, the disaffection in our ranks
imperils the Legislature, and Threatens
Democrat in the place Of UniteS
States Senator Conness. Tho defeat il
itself is not of vital Importance; bu
the manner in which it was brought
about, and the elation 1t viii produc,
IN the ranks of the enemy, are not th
most pleasant matters for reflection.

DFyiuR Fruit.

Drying fruit has several advantages
over canning or bottling. 1t is cheap,
er; it may be adopted on an extensive
scale; the fruit may be kept with less
care, and, being several times lighter
than when fresh, may be sent long dis
tances, at a moderate expense. When
fruit growers shall learn that dried
fruit from the highest favored sorts is
as much better than that from the poor
unsaleable varieties so often used for
the purposes, as the best fresh fruit OF
the one sort exceeds the other, purchas-
ers will also be willing to pay much
higher price for the article. When
superadded to this, the fruit is dried
rapidly, so as to retain clear, light
color, and a perfect flavor, instead Of
dark, half fermented fruit resulting
from slow drying in weather, there will
be no difficulty in finding a ready sale
for all that may be offered III market.
When abundant seasons occur, the sur
plus should be saved by drying, and
may be kept another year.
