Mr.. WIN. L. BRADLEY.
SIR:-Seeing certificate in the "Caledonian,
a newspaper printed at st. Johnsbury, VT, sign
ed by Capt. G. W. Newhall, with respect to Pad
dock, Dean & Cos phosphate, Tor VT. raw-bone),
we take the liberty to say that that certificate
was not given by SAID Newhall, nor authorized
to be given by any other person, and that it is
the most of it FALSE. We will now state the re-
suit of the use of the phosphate last year, the
first we ever used. We bought barrel of yours
and exchanged ten pounds with one of our neigh
bors for P. D. & Cos for trial. Having piece
of grass land ploughed the previo Is year. (lS67)
with q coat of manure turned uni sr last spring,
we, to try corn on new breke land, planted about
onethird of an acre, the first four rows with moth
ing in the hill, the next four we used P. d. &
Co.'S phosphate, the remainder we planted with
yours. The result was this Where P. d. 8 Cos
was used the corn was double to that where no
phosphate was used, and where yours was used
| there was ONE FOURTH more than where Pad
dock, Dean & Co.'S was used. We used one large
spoonful in the hill Also same in our potatoes
| until the barrel was used up. And we are salts
| fed wo had one hundred bushels more per acre
where Bradley's phosphate was used than where
no phosphate was used.
We are so well satisfied with our trial last yea1
that we shall double the quantity this.

A SUSPICIOUS CRAFT.-The La Place,
arrived from Martinique, reports that on
the 22d of August, in lat. 20 deg n, 46
deg. W. at about 4 P. NJ, she saw bark
Of about 800 or 900 tons lying-to. About
p. m. the bark hoisted the French flag at
her mizen. The La Place approached her
and hailed her in French, but received no
answer. On being hailed in English, she
replied she was bound from Hamburg to
New York, and requested the La Place
to send boat aboard the latter, however,
deeming the circumstances suspicious. hois-
ted a light, and directed the bark to follow
in her wake, promising to assist her in the
morning. The bark put on press Of sail
to follow, but the La Place being the fast
er vessel got away. The bark was q
wooden vessel painted black, with a yellow
streak, had balfround stern, bows rather
projecting, and false deck with copper
light port; her poop was not lighted, but
the room above was pierced with ports,
and hung with cloth or red velvet, and was
brilliantly lighted; all her sails except the
mainsail we're set, and her funnel was so
covered with tarpaulins that it was not un-
til approaching very close to her that the
La Place perceived her to be steamer.
She appeared to be of English construct
ion. About twenty men were seen on the
deck, but no officers in uniform, nor was
there any difference between the persons
who answered the sailors on deck She
appeared to be in a perfectly navigabIe
condition.

AT Sydney and Newcastle the other
day the sea rose and fell on a sudden
many feet, and some vessels broke in con-
sequence from their moorings, proving the
occurrence, no doubt, of some subterrane-
an commotion, respecting which we shall
probably hear more in while. These per-
turbations are alarming enough, but are
precisely what may be expected from time
to time. For, considering the geological
formation Of this continent, and the obvi-
ously immature condition which is its
characteristic, and the large presence of
chemical materials ready on very small
provocation to start from their slumber of
inaction, and generate explosive gases
sufficient to rend the comparatively thin
crust of the earth into unresisting frag-
ments, it would be in no degree surprising,
however alarming, if earthquakes were to
become the rule rather than the exception
in this part of the world. 1t is pretty
generally admitted that settlement upon
this continent has been somewhat prema-
ture, and that if we had waited a few
thousand years more it might have been
better prepared for our sustenance, and
less likely to startle US with periodical re-
currences of intestine connections. But
having adopted it as place of habitation,
we have now to make the best of it, and
if our cities are occasionally engulphed in
some horrid chasm of molten minerals, we
must look upon such accidents as the in
evitable concomitants of our enterprise

HOW rHEr NAxAeE EpuoArIoN ~ Franc

How THEY MANAGE EDUCATION IN FRANCE.
From return published by the Imperial
Commission on Technical Education in
France, it appears that there are fifty farm
schools for giving theoretical and practical
agricultural instruction In the first degree
to youths who intend to follow the occupa-
ton of farm servants. The expenses, so far
as regards the salaries of the masters, and
partly of the board Of the pupils, are de-
frayed by the State; but all the outlay and
risk of the farming are borne by the director.
The whole expenditure of the State for each
of these fifty establishments amounts, on
the average, to 1900 or 1900 francs, and
instruction is given to about 1,500 appren-
tees, which corresponds to an average of
thirty pupils to each farm, at an annual cost
of about $50 francs per head. The results of
technical and practical teaching given at these
farms are generally satisfactory, and the devel-
opmeut of such primary agricultural institu-
tons can not be otherwise than beneficial
Above these first schools, and as establish
ments of secondary instruction, there are
three agricultural district schools Each of
these schools has six professors, and the
course Of study, which extends over three
years, is terminated by examination, at which
the pupils who give satisfaction receive GER
tificates. Besides the schools spoken of
above, there are establishments of an UMPIRE
tending kind, intended to train either good
farm bailiffs, or simply agricultural laborers
and maid-servants. Owing their origin to
charity, these private institutions find their
pupils amongst the poorest and most desti-
tute Of the youthful population, and tend TO
retain in the rural districts, and employ in
feld-work, the young girls whom the attrac-
tions Of lighter labor, but less favorable to
health and morals, are continually drawing
towards factories or work-rooms for sewing
and neutrality-suspicious. Express.

PICTURE FROM THE CHINA SEA.-Glorious
masses of living coral strewed the bottom
immense globular madrepores-vast over
hanging mushroom-shaped expansions, COM
plicated ramifcaiions of Interviewing
branches, mingled with smaller and more
delicate species-round, finger-shaped, horn
like and umbrella-form-lay in wondrous
confusion; and these painted with every
shade Of delicate and brilliant-colouring-
grass green, deep blue, bright yellow, pure
white, rich buff, and more sober brown
altogether forming Kaleidoscope effect of
form and colour unequalled by anything l
had ever beheld. here and there was a
large clam shell (China) wedged in between
masses of coral, the gaping, zigzag mouth
covered with the projecting mantle of the
deepest prussian-blue; beds Of the dark pur-
pie, long-spined Echini, and the thick black
bodies of sea-cucumbers (HolothuriR) varied
the aspect of the sea bottom. In and out of
these coral groves, like gorgeous birds in a
forest of trees, swarm the most beautifully
coloured and grotesque fishes, some Of an in
tense blue, Others bright red, others yellow,
black, salmon-coloured, and every colour of
the rainbow, curiously barred and banded
and bearded, swarming everywhere in little
shoals which usually included the same spe-
cies, though every moment new species,
more striking than the last came into view

DIPLOMATIC relations with the Celestial EN-.

DIPLOMATIC relations with the Celestial En-
pire are no trihing matter, and ennuied unpaid
attaches can scarcely sigh for the new sensa-
tons of Chinese Court when they are not to
be procured at less cost than by inditing let
tiers measured by yards instead of inches.
The New York Herald informs its readers that
the Chinese carefully graduate the size of their
correspondence to the grandeur of its subject
and circumstances. 1t appears that the
+" Brother of the Sun has addressed an In
perial letter to the President of the United
States, extending over twenty-five feet of
parchment, which has been formally presented
to the Secretary of State. The people Of this
country, knowing something of Mr.. Stewards
love of writing, will appreciate the humor of
the remark in the New York Herald when it
observes" No wonder that Mr.. Seward could
not restrain his delight at the prospect of be-
ing called upon by the President to prepare a
reply of corresponding length."-Er.

Who knock all day long at grandmamma's door.
They turn up their eyes, and turn out their toes
But what is all that Il they do not propose,
You say that you love me, but love all alone
To unmarried girls is q thing quite unknown;
You Sigh and look down, and present me rose;
But that is all stuffi-do you mean to proposei

Why stop and look sbeepishi-there's nothing to

You men are such geesei-only Beelzebub knows
The trouble you give us before you propose!

You shipper and smile and you whirl me about;
But this is not business, the horrid time goes,
Another VIII have me IL you do not propose.
You take all the airs Of 4 man Pve preferred;
You keep OF the rest, and dontsAy word.
This is not fair playa fellow who shows
Such uncommon devotion should speak and pro

Down with the administration and up with

Nine-tenths of the people break for home,
slam the door behind them, and get under
the bed. The other tenth go and overturn

WHAT IS SPENT ON LIouoR.-The New
York Times, in its article upon Minor To-
pics" makes the remarkable statement that
the public debt is less than twice the retail
value Of the liquor consumed in the United
States for the year 1867. The cost Of liquor
for that period was ten times the value Of all
church property in the country equal 10 the
value Of all railroads in the United States,
except Pennsylvania more than the value of
the metallic yield Of the mines west Of the
Rocky Mountains for twenty years past, and
United States for the year. The liquor in
terest obviously is powerful, and how far its
influence upon politics is sanitary is grave
question.

WATER TELEscoPEs.-The people Of Nor
way carry in their fishing boats water tele-
scope or tube, three or four feet in length.
They immerse one end in the water, and then,
looking intently through the glass, they are
able to perceive objects ten or fifteen fathoms
deep as distinctly as If they were within few
feet Of the surface. So when they discover
plenty of fish, they surround them with their
large draught nets, and often catch them in
hundreds at haul, which. were it not for
these telescopes, would frequently prove pre-
carious and Improbable fishing. This instru-
ment is not only used by the fishermen, but is
also found in the navy and coasting vessels.-

A MEMORABLE Observation-Disclosures
sion Day, 1872. rose fair and bright in the
city of Caracas. The air was calm, the
sky unclouded. 1t is an error to suppose
that earthquakes are usually accompanied.
or preceded, by any threatening appearance
Of the elements. Large numbers Of in
habitants were at church, in attendance
on the services of the day. Suddenly the
bells tolled without touch of mortal hand !;
this was the first intimation OF the earth
quake, which, almost simultaneously, was
upon the unhappy people. The move
ment of the earth was from north to
south, with transverse jerks from east to
west. Those cross agitations OF the sur
face, occurring with extreme rapidIty,
instantly Frustrated everything animate
and inanimate. The people we're unable
to crawl to the church doors, and those
vast churches, which are characteristic Of
all South American cities, from the largest
to the smallest, descended in ruins around
them. Ten thousand persons are said to
have been killed in the churches alone.
The churches Of La Trinidad and Alta
Gracia, more than $50 feet 10 height, with
naves supported by pillars Of IL aad ID
feet in diameter, were reduced to masses
of ruin little more than a mans height.
In the barracks, regiment of soldiers had
just been drawn up under arms, ready to
form part of procession that was to take
place after divine service. Scarcely man
Of them was left. And all this was the
work of single minute. From the first
tollig of bell to the falling of the last
stone of the city of Caracas, one minute
only elapsed. Many thousand persons
were MANNED and wounded, for whom
there was no shelter, no medicine, no food,
scarcely drop of water. There were not
even implements wherewith to extricate
them from the ruins which lay upon them.
The survivors dug out with their fingers,
1000 of their crushed fellow citizens.
