The popularity, in this immediate

meeting of the Republicans last even

to this same place TO hold a copperhead
meeting but no audience being present
the speaker as the last weeks Chron-
icte informed you adjourned to Maser's
tavern and ylnduIged in copious
draughIs of lager The arrangements
for the Republican meeting were begun
on Wednesday, morning and by the
time the speaking beganin the evening
over two hundred and fifty gathered
about the speakers stand in front of the
store of Wilson Stringer, Esq. The live
Republicans ofnBellRire came up in a
procession of 10 or IL wagons crowded
TO overlooking, preceded by Hensher-
ington's brass band. The utmost good
feeling prevailed, and there was plenty
of that earnest enthusiasm that char
acterizes good listeners. The real issues
of the campaign were laid before the
people and the false one which the
Democratic leaders are seeking to i'm
pose upon. The credulity of the IN
wary were we'll exposed, in short adj
dresses by Messrs. Anderson, Smith,
and King, of Bellaire, and DIR. j. Nj.
Todd and A. P. Tallman of Bridgeport.
We would advise the Republicans Of
Bridgeport and neiRhboring towns TO
initiate the good example OF their Bell
aire friends and go, in enthusiastic
crowds, to attend the meetings held at
various points conveniently near at
hand. Yours truly,

NOTHING is more apparent OH all
sides of the political world than the
sudden moderation that has overta<en
the Democracy. They don't boast as
they did few weeks ago-say before
they had heared from Maine and Yer
mont. They are not SO ready to state
how they will dispose of Republicans
after March. They are more secret in
their caresses of Wade Hampton and
his brother rebels. Altogether they
show that Simon has said "heads down.
and that they have heared. The rank
aud file are now convinced that the
Claims OF their leaders have been hol-
low all along. They show the shaky
feeling preparatory TO flight, while
every one sees victory written in the
port of Union men, in the speeches at
their meetings and the response given
20 them. The artificial enthusiasm for
Seymour blAzed and paled like cheap
fireworks. The earnest affection for
Grant still shines like star OF heaven,
and its light grows.

THE Democrats, who are now en-
ragged at General Dix, our Minister to
France, for expressing his preference
for Grant, have also chance OF firing
few shots at General Hovey, our

Flowing up Raw Soil.

We sometimes hear farmers remark that
blowing deep they get less grain that, brius>
ing up the new mellow soil, their crops suffer.
1t would be very strange if this were not the
case for this soil, even if ever so mellow, il
raw just like manure when it is ''gTeen" or
"lopg" 1t is not yet converted or changed
into plant food. 1t needs just what the long
manure needs to be changed by the heat
or the air-that is, decomposed or rotted.
When the top-soil is less fertile than 1t used
to be when the land was first titled, you may
rest assured that this under soil is always
better than the upper soil, because the upper
soil has deteriotated, while the under has
not, but rather improved.
1t is therefore inadvisable, nay suicidal in
some soils, to turn up deeply the underground
in the spring or in the fall at sowing time
The cold, cheerless ground will not help the
grain, and were it not for the other soil mixed
with it, an almost total failure would be tho
result.
But turn it Up in the fall, and let tho frost
and the elements take hold of it, and you
have another soil. 1t is turned into manure,
a good part of it, A little lime mixed with
it, scattered and narrowed in, or manure,
or both. would facilitate the process. In the
snring sow either with or without another
nIowing and you will find no more occasion
to complain. We have great fertility to draw
upon from below, but it requires managing.

lips, loose at the ends, and the upper over
tapping also show high mindedness and this,
too, belongs to the leonine type, and to high
spirited dogs. Thick lips, the upper project
ing, show folly, aud belong to the type OF the
ass aud the monkey. People with projecting
upper lips and prominent gums are apt TO be
abusive. A nose with thick extremities shows
indolcuce-the bovine 'ype. An nquiline
nose, well cleared from the forehead, shows
high-mindedness. The same indication is
afforded by round nose. fattened at the end.
A nose turning up rapidly from the forehead
shows impudcnce. Nostrils wide open shows
passionate character. Flcshy faces show indo.
