ADvER1lsING.-We have never known in
all our long experience, says the Mountain
Democrat, of an instance Of the failure OF any
who advertised freely in order to increase his
business. Examples of fsuccess resulting from
the free use of printing ink are numerous;
and we may also add, that examples who
were penny wise and pound foolish on this
subject, might be mentioned. But it is not
necessary. Every real business man appre'
ciates the advantages of advertising, and
makes it point to let the public know what
be has or what he can DO. A little advertise
ing will do a little good; but habitual and
liberal advertising has never failed to pay
well, and frequentlySenormously. Let those
who have not tried it make the experiment.;
at the beginning of the year is favorable
time to commence.

GRAPE VINEs-Prune as soon as the
leaves are off-th is when to prune. How
to prune will depend upon the vine aud the
persons knowledge Of its manner of growth
we can only give general directions. Look
at your vine now that it is divesed Of leaves
All that is seen Of the wood Of the present
years growth, has borne and done its duty.
The buds upon the canes, that now look so
ms gnifcant, are next spring to throw out
vigorous shoots and bear fruit of all the
buds left, there will be many weak shoots
and little fruit. If this years shoots are cut
back to two or three buds, these remaining
buds will push out vigorous shoote and pro-
duce much better fruit than if the vine had
been allowed to run wild. Have this in
mind whenever tho vine is pruned-the
buds, and not the wood now on the vine,
are to produce the fruit. Prune understand
ingly.

WIN. LowNDEs OF SOUTH CARoIINA-The
late Marquis ol Lansdowne remarked on a
certain occasion to the celebrated Mr.. Roscoe
that he "had just met the tallest, the best,
bred, and best informed man he had ever
known" Then" said Mr.. Roscoe, "you
must have met Mr.. Lowndes, of South Caro-
lima, for know no other person that answers
that description"
Mr.. Clay. on being asked by Col. John
Lee, of Maryland, who of all the public men
with whom he had been associated, woo, !"
his opinion, the greatest, replied that it was
very difficult to decide among so many distin
guished men with whom be had been init
mateIy connected; but said he, II think the
wisest man ever knew was Mr.. Lowndes, Of
South Carolina"
When we consider that the Oldest citizens
Of Washington were familiar in their youth
with such noble characters as Lowndes, Mad
ison, Chief Justice Marshall, Rufus King,
Bushrod Washington. Clay, Webster, Will
liam Piuckney, Writ, Story, Trimble, Wat
kips Leigh and John Mcpherson Berrien, it
is strange, as some of the Radicals appear to
regard it, that they do not conceive violent
affection for Thadeus Stevens, BENZ. Wade,
Zachariah Chandler, Henry Wilson, William
d. Kelley. J. w. Nye. and other luminaries
of the Destructive party! As we'll might
we expect those who drank in their youth
from the "pure well of English undeiled," !"
to rejoice in their old age in draushts from
the pesti!ental fountains which are fed by
the literary adventures Of Grub.-National

MANuRE.-The value of the manure Of
animals stands in direct relationship to the
value of the food they eat. Poultry have
the richest food; men next, hogs next, ta,ten-
ing cattle, horses, sheep, cows and growing
stock follow in about this order. The food
of well fed beeves is usually richer than that
of horses, and so is that of fatiening sheep
sometimes, but this varies Here, however,
is true measure of the value of the drop
pings, and as the care that should be taken
Of each kind. The farmers business is to
make manure Just as much AS 1t is to make
money, and he should do 1t first Y saving.
Hen-dung is easily saved by making the
birds roost over floor sprinkIed with earth
which is swept up and freshly earthed every
"ouk. OncuIato to have one-third manure
and two'thirds earth. Save tho utA, un Vie
list on precisely the same prinoiple-that is,
minging it with two-thrds its bulk of dry
fine soil; but do it every day or two. Hog
manure is saved and preserved by mixing it
with earthly or vegetable matters, anything
that will decay, but especially articles, soft,
porus and bulky, as weeds, sods, bogs, peat,
etc. The dropping of horses are very pro-
titaby added either to the manure Of the
sty, or mixed with that q neat stock, espec
pecially to that of young cattle and COWS,
which is thus brought up to a higher stand
ard. Manure of all other kinds is kept and
improved bv admixlure Of straw, leaves, etc,
and especially by being laid up in heaps
over beds of rails, so that the liquor that
teaches from it naturally or after being
pumped on, may be returned and pumped
over it again. Where this cannot be done,
it should be mixed with sods, dry peat, or
muck, or even simple soil, and laid in "a
compost heap as fast as it accumulates
The manure harvest is from November to
May.

RELIC OF THE ANCIENT IRlsH.-A remark.
able stone implement, ,tormely in use as a ham,
mer, or possibly as war club, by the ancient
inhabitants of Ireland, was recently raised
from trench in Balynamaddy. 1t is six
inches in length, four and half in breadth
across the center, and three and half inches
thick. 1t is shaped like wedge, rounded at
one end and tapering to an edge on the other;
and has a hole two inches in diameter evil
denlly intended for handle, bored quite
through the center of the block. 1t weighed
six and half pounds, and there is little doubt
it was constructed more than thousand
years ago.
