 BEFORE THE ELECTION AND AFTER. Among the coincdences of this campaign is the fact that the military representative each ticket has travel ied over tho same ground as his opponent, and has been reviewed, as it were, by the same set of citi Zens. In Kansas and in Missouri, Gen. BLAIRs progress is an ovation. + General Blair, in spite of himself, has been captured by tho people, and they have demanded his voice to be heard upon the principles of which he is the exponent.
 Gen. GRANT, on tho other hand, has iourneyed as unnoticod as tho very trunks in which he Gar res his effects. His course from place to place, has been obscquously pre-hcralded, and the pco- ple have read the announcements unconccrnod- ly as they do tho quotations of tallow ill Liver pool Wot1d August z.

DISCOVERIES ON. THE PoToMAC. An
explorer along the banks of the Potomac
had his attention attracted few days ago
to spot near Marlboro Point, where the
Accoceek empties, and examination prov
ed the spot to have been used as place
for interment. The size of the bones Of
the bodies and of the skulls, at first led
the explorer to conclude that he had fallen
upon, graveyard of buried giants, and it
was only after the discovery of remains of
moccasins. several hammered pieces of
copper. and large quantities of beads, be-
lieved to have been made from bones, that
his opinion was changed to what is doubt
less the fact, that it was used hundreds of
years ago as the burial place for tribe OF
Indians, giant-like in stature. There, is
"a large fssure in the hill, some ten feet
up. The waters have gradually washed
away the earth until this is visible. and
large quantities of beads Of bone have
been found at the foot of the hill, which
is washed by the creek. A further ex-

DEEP FALL PLOUGHING.

At the meeting of the Massachusetts
State Board Of Agriculture last winter,
the matter of fall ploughing was fully dis
cussed, and the weight Of, opinion decid-
edly seemed in favor Of deep ploughing Of
heavy lands. Mr.. Hubbard, of Brimfeld.
found in his experience in the cultivation
of certain crops. that the fall is the best
time to plough the ground he thought
that all will concede the fact, that the
land, if it is heavy, clayey soil, can be
worked much earlier in the spring by putt
ting the manure on, and ploughing it in,
in the fall. He did not care how soon it
is put on after the crop is taken off; his
advice was to spread it on and plough it
in; and SO far as my experience goes, /
have got a better crop in that way than
by allowing the land to remain until
spring, and then putting the manure on
and then ploughing it in"
Mr.. Ward, of Monson, thought that
much depends upon the ground to be
ploughed, whether it is ploughed in the
fall. IF you have tough, hard piece

is better to plough in the fall; the frost
has considerable effect upon the hard soil,
and I do not think there is any very great
loss by the wind blowing off the surface
soil. 1 think light soil may as we'll be
ploughed in the spring as in the fall" "a
Mr.. Thatcher. of Lee, in speaking of
deep ploughing in describing subsoil at
tachment for plough, said: "We are
now using in southern Berkshire, plough
which turns over the sod from six to seven
inches, with subsoil attachment running
from two to four inches, which still does
not lift the virgin soil the first year toithe
surface. This attachmentrun behind
the mould-board to the depth of four in
ches. usually stirs the whole width of the
furrow to that depth after. We have turned
over the sod. Our idea is, that by loos-
ening the. subsoil by this attachment, we
enable the rains to soak down through,
which they would not do, our subsoil be-

ing clay, (Which will not take in water
unless the earth was. loosened), and our
corn roots run down there to get their
moisture. The effect of the manure is
felt there and the second year, when we
come to plough up again after this stir
ring of the subsoil, I'VE drop our ploughs
down and throw up part Of It'll think
we certainly in our northern country de-
rive benefit by stirring the soil the first
year, and very great benefit without lift

not get more than four or FIVE inches Of
soil before we came to- a hard clay yssoil,-

the land cold, backward and sour. After
