applied the Guano at the rate of $50 lbs. per
acre Gas thick as the drill would SOW IT'D this
application was made to - acres, one half sown
in W'heat, the other in Rye.
The grain grew well in the fall and both
Wheat and Rye promised fine crop in the
spring; the grain has been harvested but not as
yet thrashed l have reason to believe that the
Rye will make an unusually fine yield, but the
Wheat does not promise so well, owing to the
Fly having damaged it very severely.
This may be ascribed to no little extent to the
variety sown (Boughton,) as the bearded wheat
of my vicinity has almost entirely escaped the
ravages of both Fly and Weevl. The Clouer
sown upon the ground to which the Guano was
applied, is well set and very vigorous, and
esteem the application of the Redonda, though
not of speedy benefit, from the causes above, as
a very valuable permanent fertilizer.

Messrs. w. CR1cHToN & Son.
Gentlemen - The Redonda Guano, that we
purchased of you last fall, has given US entire
satisfaction, applied it to wheat, corn, pota
toes, and buckwheat, we sowed one field OF
wheat br oadcast, about 400 lbs. to the acre, in
Montgomery county, and narrowed it in, which
looks we'll. On the same farm, in this county,
we put in field of Buck,rheat, which was as
good as ever grew on land about 200 pounds to
the acre, of the Redonda, was applied. The po-
tatCes look well and the Redonda has made us as
good crops some of the Fertilizers that cost
US double the price the Redonda did.
Yours, truly, RAWLINGS & SON.

Advice That smouid be Needed

We desire to call the attention OF the afflicted
to the merits of Roback's Blood Pills, purely
vegetable cathartic, free from mercury and all
mineral poisons, and undoubtedly the best rem
edy extant for the radical cure of nervous and
sick headache, bilious disorders and all affections
of the Liver and Blood. They are, as their name
indicates, Blood Pin; they search the blood for
disease and strike at the very root, thereby eff
fecting not temporary but permanent cures.
As purgativc, they arc all that can be de.
sired being mild and safe in their operation
and unqueStiOnably one of our most satisfactory
Catbartic Pills, and should be kept in every
household aud, when taken in conjunction with
Robacks Blood Purifier, are unequalled for
curing Scrofula, Skin Disease Old Sores, Salt
Rheum, dyspepsia, ErySipelas, Tumors, Erup;;
tiOns, and all diseases arising from disordered
state of the blood or disOrganizcd state OF the
system. Try these medicines and you will
never regret H. Ask those who have used
them and they will tell yOu they are the best OF
medicines Sold by all druggists everywhere.

Z The colored milIiner, Mrs. Keckley,
says in her new volume; "Mrs.P
son and Mrs, Slower are kind. hearted,
plain, unassuming women, making no
prctensisnsfto elegance. One day when
7 called at the White House, in relation
to some work / was doing for them, l
found Mrs. Patterson busily at work
with sewing machine. The sight was
a novel one to me for the White House,
for as long as l remained with Mrs.
Lincoln, / do not recollect ever having
seen her with a needle in her hand"
A woman, with bundle, marched in
TO Summit street store, in Toledo, on
Thursday evening, walked up to the
proprietor, who was seated, and, drop
ping the package on his knee, said to
him: "There, that is your'n; Pve kept
it three weeks, as long as l wantit, and
yea must take care of it," or words to
that effect and forthwith unceremonious-
ly departed. The package contained
healthy infant, and the happy recipient,
instead of fainting, or making any 9th
er sort of fuss, quietly acknowledged
the responsibility, picked it and him
self up, said che s'posed he'd better
take it home," and did so. The paper
which mentions the incident thinks 1T
mot very creditable" to the individual.
But, would it have been more credita-
ble to have done the other thing
"gone back" on the little stranger!

him With haggard eyes. AT the sight
of Finettete clasped his trembling hands,
