Impel me not, I supplicate, to the abyss Of des-

Gentlemen: The Redonda Guano that we
purchased Of YOU last fall, has given Us entire
satisfaction. We applied it to wheat, corn, po-
tatoes and buckwhGst. We sowed one, field of
wheat broadcast, about 400 pounds to the acre.

which looks we'll. On the same farm in this
county, we put in 9 field Of buckWheat, which
WAS as good as over grew on land about 2C)

The potatoes look well, and the Redonda has
made us as good crops as some Of the fertile ors
that cost US double the price the Redonda did.
We soWed o field Of wheat last fall on our
farm in Howard county, and put it in with .
drill, we put about 800 pounds of Rcdonda to
the acre. This wheat looks rather better than
the wheat on the Montgomery farm, both put
in the same week; we arc so well pleased with
it, that we used four tons this spring on corn,
oats and potatoes, and the crops look wall. We
used it in our garden, and we think we have one
of the best market gardens" in the country
Our ncighbors say so at any rate
We are so we'll pleased with the Redonda

RATHER LUDIcRoUs.-A somewhat ludi-

Hastings Court yesterday which caused much
amusement among all present. Grave lawyers
were arguing earnestly and learnedly, as the
case might be, for or against judgment upon
a forthcoming bond--given tor the production
Of mule at Court The mule died after the
bond was given, and the body could not well
be produced. The death Of the animal, claimed
one of the Attorneys for the defence" was an
act of God" The lawyer for the plaintiff
claimed that it was ''an act Of nature TO which
view Mr.. Justice Dudley assented, and with
great dignity and solemnity, remarked from his
seat on the Bench, by way of illustration
God willeth the death Of no man." The effect
OF SO solemn speech over the 9ecease of a
NIUE uttered by a Magistrate sitting in Court,
can better be imagined than described. The
bar, the spectators, and the Court itself were
convulsed. -Rtersbwg EGpress.

from his "pieture gallery
Among the regular frequenters Of the court

fellow, with quick eye and merry face beaming
with fun and sly humor. He was the peculiar
patron Of all public speakers, and his com

far higher estimate Of my oratorical powers

me, noddiog and smiling. At last [ made
a terrible curl and had got up in the mid
heavens beyond the range of fancys

keen whistle and said, Gust listen at the
chicken; don't he crow young!' Had a rifle
ball penetrated my vitals, my fall would not
have been more sudden. He was once in
court as witness. Some OF the boys had
played prank oh the old man and had tried to
scare him with ghost, and there was some

was called to the stand to testify. The Judge

asks what was the decision of the Supreme
Court of the U. S. in the coniseation case Of
"McVeigh vs.. Underwood argued before
Judge Chase some four or FIVE months since !;
and which decision was to be forwarded by
Judge Chase to the clerk of the court to be
entered up. The Dispatch says sit has not yet
been received by the clerk. We have an indis-
tinct recollection that Underwood's decree was
set aside on the ground that the proceedings
had been in admiralty instead OF at common
law. Certainly Judge Chase made this point
in some confscation case"
