Several of our agricultural friends
have written to US. asking what kind of
''superphosphate' we would recommend
them TO purchase. Certainly there ought
to be only one kind of superphosphate,
and that a genuine suphosphate of lime,
containing at least ten per cent of solu-
bic phosphate acid, and an equal guam
tlty OF insoluble, in addition to the phos-
plate OF lime. We do not know of anv
brand we can recommend rs being prop
erly manufactured, genuine superphos-
phate of lime. If there is any in market
we have not been able to find it, and we
have searched diligently. As the in
qWrles are presented, we can make no
answer. If the question should assume
another form-"What compounds. COM

barrels, and labelled 'superphosphate,' >
we would rccommend'-we should still
be unable to reply us we have found
these mixtures to vary 50 exceedingly in
tertiliZing value, little reliance can be
placed upon them. In color, some are
quite dark :; others gray, or light yellow
In oder, one is like fish ofi;ll, another
like carrion others have kind of sui
phurous smell The color is due to al
admiXture of charcoal, or bone-coal, or

GREAT DOCTORS IN CoNsULrATTON.-
When DIR. Bethume and his wife were in
Europe, Mrs. Bcthume had been trans
ported by water from Liverpool to Lon
don i'll order to consult Sir Ashley Coop
cr and Sir james Clarke. At this place
her husband joined her. to make the dis
covery that even the most learned doc
tors may be found mapping. The accom-
modations not being extensive, when the
two physicians retired for consultation,
Mr.. Bethume was in a position where he
could overhear their remarks. They had
had a pleasant interview one relating
how he on certain occasion came very
near fighting 4 duel The difficulties and
danger of the position occupied some time
to describe, and they were about to sep
arate when one recalled the patient ''But
what shall we do with Bcthume's wife p
so, give her the old pill was the ready
reply. 1t is supertluous to add that this
most expensive medical attendance quick

that Il collection would be taken up for

fractional currency he discovered ten
dollar confederate bill. lie looked at it
Tor some time with evident disgust and
then took a calm look ut his congregI-

clapping the uncurrent bill upon the

claimed; .'Brederin, put dis bill right
