!. This Mari il obtained at Mount Olive.
on he..Wilmington and Weldon Railroad.
and according to the analysis before us,
contains sixty five per cent Of carbonate OF
lime, fifteen per cent Of phosphates, and
the residue silica. &c.; or in every 1000
pounds there would be $500 pounds OF
carbonate Of lime and 500 pounds Of phos-
plate. The company propose TO deliver
this Mari at the Hillsborough depot tor

In Great Britain, perhaps the most high
ly improved agricultural country IN the
world, lime is regarded as absolutely ne
cessary to the proper development Of the
