pLOuGHINC. UP RAW SOIL.-We some
times hear farmers remark that, ploughing
deep, they get less grain that, bringing up
the new mellow soil. their crops suffer
1t would be very strange II this was not
the case for this soil, even il ever so mel

green or long 1t is not vet converted
or changed into plant food. 1t needs just
what the long manure weeds-to be chang
ed by the heat aud the air that Is, decom-
posed or rotted.
When the top soil is less fertile than it
used to be when the laud was first titled,
You may rest assured that this under soil
is AWAY better than the upper soul, be-
cause the upper has deieriorated while the
under has not, but rather improved.
1t is, therefore, inadyisable. nay, suicidal
in some soils. to turn up deeply the under.
ground in the spring or in the fall at SOW

Don't Leave the Farm

Come boys, l have something 10 tell vol.
Come near, would whisper it low
You are thinking Of leaving the homestead,
Don't be in hurry to go.
The city has many attractions.
But think of the vices and sins,
When once in the yorte.s of fashion,
How soon lhe course ofdownward begin;
You talk of the mines of Australia,
They're wealthy in gold with doubt
But ali there is gold ON the ia. m, boys,
II only yeu'll shovel ii cut.
The mercantile life is a hazard,
The goods are first high and then low,
Betteririsk the old farm awhile longer.
Don't be ina hurry to 90.
Tho great busy West has inducements.
And so has the busiest mart,
But wealth is not made in day. boy,
Don't De i'll a hurry TO start.
The bankers and b. okerS are wealthy.
The take in their thousands or so,
All. think ofthe frauds and deeeplons,
Don't be in a hurry TO go:
The farm is the safest and >urest,
The orchards are loaded to-day.
You're free aS the air OF The noun. aims,
And monarch of all YOU survey.
Better stay on the farm while longer.
Though profits should come rather slow,
Remember you We nothing 10 risk, boys,

This will give the harness a nice glossy
surface and the leather will retain Il good
color and continue pliable for months
If it becomes soiled with mud or sweat. an

rected without oiling, will be sufficient
to give it bright appearance.

essary for livery meu, aud others who use
harness constantly, to apply oil ottencr,
but in most cases two oilings a year, and
washing with suds when soiled, will keep a
harness in good trim for sight and service.
This process will give large dividend in
extra service and durability to say moth
ing of improved appearance. We are as
sured that the same or a similar appllea-
ton Is Just the thing for carriage tops which
are made of top leather. The only differ
ance in treatment is, that less oil should be
used, as rather lighter coating applied
and it should be washed off before drying
in. top leather being thin and much more
penetrable than harness. OF course. the
mixture would not answer for enamelle,

Some of our Democratic fellow citizens
say we slandered their tin emblem on
their South pole, by infering that, as its
face was set South, it was waiting for
commands, from the democr attic lead ers
of the rebellion in that direction, to
"crow." We only reiterated the idea
advanced by LATE Develin, who, when
he saw the cock with its head South
wald, declared it was good omen
that it was from thence they received
their inspiration of victory-the COM
pletc union of the Democracy of the
North with their brethren of the South, as
it was in the past, insured Democratic
triumph! If the Democracy here
abouts are so tender-footed and thin
skinned, as to get their backs up at
reiteration by US of fact acknowledged
to by one Of their champion orators.
that the Democracy of the North are
now striking hands with the traitors of
the South, let them at once and forever
abandon the traitorous company they
find themselves acting with, and vote
with the party and for the NAN who
whipped the rebels and saved the Union.
Let them abandon the party that was for
peace whilst the Nation was plunged in
war, and vote with the party whose
motto, now that peace is conquered, is
s'LET Us HAVE PEACE"

SEvAsToPoL TAKEN On Thursday
night last, the Republicans took Sevas
topol by storm. and had most excel
lent meeting. MILES j. SHINN, Esq,
who has for years past, acted with the
Democratic Party, and voted the Demo
cratic ticket without scratch, came
out from the foul party, and, in an elo-
quent speech, showed up the sins and
shortcomings of its leaders, and adyo-
Gated the election of GRANT and CoLFAx,
and urged the keeping in power Of the
party that, under God, had saved the life
of the nation. Mr.. SHINN spoke from
the heart and it reached the hearts of
his hearers, who responded to his patri-
otto appeals with shouts of appreciation
He mentioned seven otherold and con-
frmed Democrats, who had resolved to
do as he had done: Come out from the
party that was making treason respect
able, and vote for the man whose DEEDS
spoke louder than words, and vote with
the soldiers who stood by the old flag on
the battle fields, and with the party who
sustained the integrity of the Nation
and our soldiers in the field, by their
action in Congress, and by their votes
and contributions at home.
w. w. Foulke, Eco, also addressed
the meeting, with good effect, and
strengthened the determination of every
lover of~his country to ego ahead in
their efforts of saving by the ballot that
which our brave soldiers had gained by
the bullet: "equal and exact justice to
all men," The Fighting Boys in Blue
were out in force, and added much to
the spirit Of the meeting and its enthu-
siasm. The Republicans are becoming
fully aroused. Push on the colmn, boys!
Charge along the whole line! and the
victory is ours-sure!

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

Tuesday evening. Aug. Is. Council
met. all the members present Mayor
Young being absent, Mr.. Elder was .ap-
pointed President pro tenn ~
A petition was received from David
Bullendick, asking Council. to have the
alley between south Pearl and South
Front streets. near Market graded and
xrsHefsd.T Referred to Com mittes on
streets.
Mr.. Coffin. from the, Committee, Of the
Whole, to whom was referred the sub
ject of the Marion street sewer, made a
report instructing the city Attorney to
prepare an ordinance with view to the
prosecution % said work. sAI il 4
Mr.. Coffin from the Committee on
streets reported favorably on the petit
ton of Mrs! Morris and others, asking
that the alley in rear of their lots on
South Sixth street in Arnold's ambition,
be vacated, and that the city Attorney
prepare an ordinance vacating the alley.
Accepted. VIM. A. Bickle, Esq, asking
consent, appeared as the counsel Of Jas.
Dickinson and 9th ers, and addressed
Council in regard to vacating the above
alley. He said that if the alley was va
Gated, the ground would revert back to
the estate Of Mr.. Arnold. The persons
that petitioned for the vacation would
not be benefited, the city would receive
no benefit, but it would be a serioussin-
jury to the property holders on the East
sid e Of the alley.
Mr. Coffin said that the report was
made in good faith, after learning all
the facts in the case. 3Ig
On motion of Mr.. McGirr, the vote
ordering the alley to be vacated was
and the petition was re-
committed to the Committee on streets.
The license paid by Mr.. Van Camp
for the privilege of selling watermelons
at Wholesale, was refunded.
An ordinance to construct sewers and
drains and providing penalties for OBJ
the same, was presented, and
read the first and second times.
Mr. Palmer called attention to the
fact that the drain on North Green-st.
was not of sufficient capacity to carry
off the water that accumulated in it after
heavy rains, and in consequence the cell
lars near by were overlooked. The
Street Commissioner was ordered to en-
large it. sUg E1 Eal6
Mr. McGirr stated that Mr.. Miller, AS
sistants Superintendent of the c. C. & I.
G. r. R., had called his attention to the
amount of travel on the tracks of the
railroads in this city. Notwithstanding
there were streets on both sides of the
roads, within short distance, there was
scarcely a minute when the track was
clear of some one. Frequently small
children walked the track from the depot
to Ninth street. notwithstanding the
1tmost care had been taken to prevent
several had occurred and he
vas fearful there would be others, unless
IL travel complained Of could be pre-
vented. aat
The Council unanimously expresseda
wish that a sign be prepared to warn
people to keep off the track. !
On motion the Street Commissioner
vas instructed to notify the property
FOLDERS on Noble. ST., between Sixth and
Ninth SITS, North side, to have the same
yraveled and graded within a reasonable
lime, or the same would be done by the
:ity at their expense.
On motion, Council adjourned.
