ASHES FOR PEAs.-The Rural New
Yorker says: woman sends us the
following from her diary of her market
garden: I'm the spring of 1856, in
sowing peas we ashed some in the row.
leaving other rows unashed. The
difference was very remarkable. Those
that were ashed were more thrifty, of
a darker, richer color, producing at
the time of picking, larger pods and q
superior quality of peas. The same is
true of turnips."

II should be remembered, also, that the
new landing Is being built on ground granted
to the Rockford railroad company, and that
the trains Of that company will be made up
close by and directly across the approach to
the boat How great the Inconvenience and
danger, from this source, to those who use
the ferry, can be imagined after little ex-
perience with one Of Mr. Cables coal trains
across the present landing. onion.
Our comstose contemporary is waking up.
When the railroad ordinance was before the
Council, it STOOD tamey by" and saw not
only Mr.. Cables road with its to be quin
tupled trains remain on the levee, but two
other roads brought there. Then there
could be no Inconvenience, present or future
to the free use of the levee from its
abandonment TO railroads. Now, however,
the switching of the trains of one road
across the Ferry approach Is to be very
serious Advantageous and incoa7enient.
A little honest consistency would have the
same effect on the Union concern as stroke
of lightning--it would lay it right out.

PORT BYRON ITEMS.

On Monday, two gamblers were put ashore
from the steamer Dubuque, at Port Byron,
and one at LeClaire. They had been run
ming "chuck.luck bank, and had swind!ed
a number Of passengers out Of small sums
While this steamer lay at Port Byron, Con-
stable Daley went on board and searched
two trunks which had been put on at Mus
catine, and checked through to LaCrosSe'
As no one was on board having them Ia
charge, 1t was suspiconed that perhaps they
contained some of the jewelry stolen from
the store of Terry & Co., Muscatine, lew
NIGHTS AGO. They we're found to be all
right, however.
A great deal Of sickness prevails at PorS
Byron, principally in the shape OF ievers. In
the latter part oflast week Mrs Jeremiah Wif
ljams was buried, and on Tuesday, Mr.. Do
yid GAYLORD. Mr.. Gaylord was promising
Young man, and had been married only
about six months. We also learn that Mrs,
I. Irwin, wife oftho pastor Of the Methodist
church, is lying quite low
Business is unusually brisk. No new
wheat has been brought IN, none OF the
farmers having commenced threshing yet
Club wheat in the country adjoining is badly
bligbted, but tea wheat has yielded
finely. Better oats were never raised since
the settlement of the township than this sea
son. Barley is good. Corn on the low
lands looks miserable, but that grown on the
high lands cannot be e1celled anywhere
The fall session Of the schools will shortly
commence.
Rev. T.. Harper and family, of the Coagre
pationalist church, have taken six weeks
vacation, and left for Ohio on Tuesday
morning. Mrs. r. b. Chase and daughter

WHERE WAS THE USE? - The Union
charged Mr.. Woods with trying to swindle a
prisoner now in jail out of sum of money,
and when the falsehood was exposed By a
letter from Judge Peasants, refused to pub,
lish the testimony of that gentleman. We
published the letter at the request of various
parties, and now the Union very grammat.
ically asks, "where was the use of doing
so ?" Considering the source of the Islander,
and the character of the officer slandered,
as far as the opinion of the public was con-
cerned there was very little use in contra
dieting the statement. Nobody believed j.
from the frst-not even the editor Of the
Union, and we published Judge Peasants
letter merely to show up the editor of that
sheet in his true character. OF course it
