Nonpareil French Guano.

IN The great Desideratum in the matter Of .
CHEAP and EFFICACIOUS FERTILIZER has
been attained, after years of scientifcand prac-
teal tests, in the GUANO we are now prepared to
offer dealers and farmers. After several years of
the severest possible tests in France, where it was
discovered and introduced, it was pronounced by
both Chemists and Agriculturists as superior to
any fertilizer in USE Three years since it was in
troduced into this country, first in Maryland, and
is now rapidly superceding the Peruvian, and IN
extensive use in Maryland, Virginia, North Car
DINA, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia,
for the following reasons:
1st 1t can be supplied at about ONE HALF the
cost of Peruvian. I'd. 1t has been proven to com
bne property peculiar to it, which DESTROYS
ALL INSECTS in the soil, where the Peruvian
produces them to an extent which nentralizes to a
great degree its fertilizing qualities Sd. 1t has
been thoroughly tested with Peruvian as fertili-
ger, and it's power attested equal by all using
both, and by many the palm Of superiority award
cd it,
To substantiate what we claim for it we annex
few of the numerous certificates voluntarily placed
at our disposal by those who have thoroughly
tried it.
JOHN MERRYMAN, Esq, one of the most ex-
tensive and successful planters in Maryland, and
for years President of the State Agricultural So
ciety, after thorough test, endorses it thus:

curiOsitiss of the Census.

In preparing the State census, Dr.
Hourh has examined all the previous
census reports, and has made a summary
of them. They are euriousy suggestive.
The colonial reports, ten in all, extend
from 1898 to I'LL.
In the firstnamed year the total popu-
lation of the colony was 1907; of the
city. 4,93T. In the entire colony the
number of men exceeded that Of women
by 3S9. But even at that early day
there we're more women in the city than
men. The returns are-men, lOl9;
women. 1867.
lT7I the population of the colony
was 1929; Of the city, 2l,S62. The
population Of the colony decreased be-
tween 1902 and lTl2. That Of the city
decreased between l749 and l756. Once
the men found themselves in the majority
in the city; the returns for 1871 are
men. 1906: women, 1906.
During the revolution, Sir Henry
Clinton and others put such impedi-
ments in the way ofthe State authorities
that no census Of the city vas taken
until 1856. Then there were II ,S9T men
and 1913 women in the city l2l, $50
men and ll6,SO9 women in the State.
OF the city population, S623 we're under
sixteen years: the number Of children
in the State was lO6,5I3.
Land-ovning Is a luxury in which New
Yorkers do not indulge to the same ex.
tent as formerly. In 1890 the electoral
census returned 1889 freehOlders in the

for murder as follows:
"The fact is, Jones, that the Court did
not intend TO order you 10 be executed
before next spring, but the weather is
very cold, and our Jail unfortunately, is
in very bad condition much Of the
glass In the windows is broken; the
chimueys are in such dilapidated con :
dition that no fire can be made TO render
your apartments comfortable; besides,
owing TO the great number Of prisoners,
not more than one blanket can be allowed
70 each; to sleep sound aud comfortable,
therefore, is out Of the question. In con-
sideration Of all these circumstances,
and wishing TO lessen your sufferiugs as
much as possible, the Court, in the ex-
ercise Of its humane compassion, there
fore orders you TO be executed to morrow
morning as soon after breakfast as may
be convenient to the Sheriff and agreca-
Bile TO you. "4itH
