CIVILIZATION IN EURoPE-Englan
and France are getting to be some>
what similar in elegance and bar
barism. Last month, in England,
there occurred what was quoted a
barbaric disply that could not be
matched in any other land-namely,
q pugilistic encounter between two
ladies in the mining interest. They
fought for sum Of money, had sec
onds, ring, and many rounds. The
issue was against Susan, who bit Sa-
rah, and lost the battle. This was
horrid, and truly English-but, 10 !!
in Paris, the centre of art and civil,
zation, two ladies, artistes of musc>
halls, and rivals, lately met at a cafe,
disputed and delivered blows. The
company present made ring for
them. and they had three rounds,
like the 'ladies of the North of Eng
land" The combat sted!Iong, but
was brought to a termination by the
infringement of the laws of fighting,
the same as in England.

THE SKY AN INDICATOR or WEATH
ER.-The color of the sky at par

guidance. Not only does a rosy sun

sunrise bad weather, but there are
other tints which speak with equal
clearness and accuracy. A bright
yellow sky, in the evening, indicates
wind pale yellow, wet neutral
gray color constitutes favorable
sign in the morning. The clouds
are again full of meaning in them
selves. Ii their forms are soft, unde>
fined, and full wealthy, the weather
will be fine; if their edges are hard,
sharp, and definite, it will be foul
Generally, any deep, unusual hues
betoken wind or rain while more
delicate and quies tiuts bespeak fair

AS our lands become exhausted the value
of manure of all kinds increases, and who
ever discovers cheap fertilizer is a benelac-
tor to his race and will receive the gratitude
of all who till the land for a living. Mr..
Metcalf of Franklin, Mass, has used for sever
al years with much success compost of salt.
ashes and plaster ON all his farm crops. The
results are SO favorable, that he does not hes
itate to recommend this compost to all farm
ers. Without being very exact in weighing,
or measuring the different ingredients he in
tends to mix one part ofsalt with two parts
of gray rock plaster, and then add an
equal bulk of wood ashes. This mass is
thoroughly mixed and allowed to stand a
few days before using. When applied alone
about 300 pounds are spread upon the land
whether cultivated or in grass; and in case
the land is planted, a little more is put into
the hill. If other manure is to be used upon
the same land, the compost is worked into
the manure and both used together 1t is
well known to those who have had expe-
rience on the subject that plaster alone OH
some kinds of soil, has but little, if any bene-
ficial effect. On such soil this compost works
favorably. Mr.. Metcalf prefers this home
made compost to any of the commercial ma
nures He is particular about the kind OF
plaster and says the white has but little agri-
cultural value. Our farmers would do well
to experiment with the compost. The ex.
pense is not great, and if found as valuable as
above described, the farmer will reap great
benefit from it's use.

THE SOMERSET RAILRoAD-oRGANIzAT
AND PROSPECTS OF THE COMPANY.
ANsoN, May IA, 1s6s
To the Editor of the Press:
Your readers are doubtless aware of an ef-
fort commenced about year ago to develop
the resources Of this section of the Kenne-
bee valley by constructing railroad from
West Waterville to Carratunk Falls, above
Solon village. Among the most active men
in this enterprise is Mr.. Joel Gray, the popu-
lar landlord of the City Hotel, Boston. Mr..
Gray is native of Embden, who went to
Boston when mere boy, and by his own eff
iorts has become wealthy. Not unmindful OF
his birthplace he has erected for the use OF
his mother one of the finest dwellings in
Somerset County. 1t is ON the main road
froln Anson to Solon, about three miles from
the former place. The farm is one of the
best in this section Of the State, well stocked
and thoroughly cultivated.
Mr.. Gray has been foremost in any move
ment calculated to build up this section of the
State He has subscribed literally to the
stock of the Somerset Railroad and will
spare no pains to secure the completion oi
the road. Nearly 100000 of the stock has
already been subscribed by individuals, and
the various towns on the line of the road
| The amounts arc as follows:

This road runs through the most fertile

the Kennebec from the Forks to Carratunk
Falls runs through a country almost a dead

quite likely, nevertheless. This Georgia ora
Gle, grinding out its daily denuuciation of Con-

"even the New York Times admits the inde-

very funny use of the word admit. We never
heard it used similarly but once before, and
that was by Col. u, up in Wisconsin, who re-
