From the Maine Farmer.

New Sharon, Me, April II, 1868.
Messrs. Editors-I have used Bradley's Super
Phosphate OF Lime corn and potatoes for several
years past 70 my entire satisfaction Last year
too particular notice of the corn grown where used
his Super Phosphate compared with corn raised with
barn-yard manure in the same field, and found the
ears raised on the rows where Bradley's Phosphate
to the end with an increased crop Of at least one
third, and OF much better quality, The corn arewn
on the rows where barn-yard manure was used was
two weeks later, with considerable soft corn, and
none the ied out to the end as was the case
where the Phosphate was applied.
On potatoes 1t acted equally as well as it did on
my corn. L think no farmer in Maine should raise
corn or potatoes without Bradley's Phosphate, and
sure if they will once give 1t trial thew will be
well satisfied that they would be unwilling as
am TO do without 1t. esaa.5s fs-s

The Mount Vernon Estate,

As apprehension may follow from
the announcement made very generally
through the press, that the Mount Yer
non estate will be sold shortly, we will
correct the mistake and state the facts,
The original plot OF Mount Vernon
contained 5000 acres, which has been
divided from time to time among the
relatives and heirs of General Wash
ington. The. residence and 1000 acres
descended to Mr.. JohnA. Washington
who occupied it for many years. When
it was understood that he must sell
Mount Vernon, and it became likely
that the tomb of Washington would
pass into the hands of strangers. The
Ladies Mount Vernon Assoc iation was
formed, with a Regent as presiding of.
fcer. A Vice Regent was appointed
for every State in the country, and
subscription books to Mount Vernon
fund were opened. Through the ener.
gy and patriotism OF these ladies, aided
by the liberal contributions ofMr. Ev.
erett, the amount required was realized
and the home and Tomb Of Washing.

rs it has been. wrong in policy for the
Conservatives 10 run a candidate for
Governor, but allow the dominant
party to furnish a man Of their own
politics chosen by the qualified voters
Of all parties. Gov. Senter seems to
administer the business of his office in
a manner acceptable to the people Of
tie State, and we ought to be satisfied
with it, without m experiment with an
untred novice. We should let "weIl
enough" alone, at least in these times
of distrust and danger We had better
be content with the quiet and friendly
policy now governing us, than risk the
enactment of malignities heretofore en-
dured under the administration of n
man who would declare from the
capitol that his opponents had only
the two rights left them--using his own
wicked and vindictive tcrms--"To be
hanged, and to be damned"
Gov. Senter has won and secured
the respect and confidence of large
majority of the people of Tennessee,
and this will at once obviate unfair and
perverted constructions OF his official
acts, thereby promoting harmony and
good feeling among his opponents.
There is no prejudice in the minds OF
the people against him, and it seems
that being a Radical, without the least
suspicion of dishonesty attributed to
him by his party, and being the choice
of a great majority of the DISTINGUISHED
citizens of Tennessee, we say it seems
that it could be no sacrifice on the part
of his political friends at least to res
pect the preferences Of the prescribed
class and the Conservative party. And
if they are disposed to manifest any
liberality toward these unhappy people,
this regard for their choice not in the
least endangering the existence of
those principles for which this pro-
scription has been made and so long
perpetuated, would, to say the least of
it, intimate to responding minds that
they are not forgotten by their rulers.

they may be regarded by all parties,
and that the political waters may not
be disturbed this summer, but the peo

give their enemies great deal of trou-

move, though there is no authentica-
ted report of any severe fighting III
fact there has not been an engagement
deserving the name of battle. in Cuba
since the instruction began, and there
is no probability Of one of one unless
the filibusters now going from differ
ent parts Of the U. S. take the field
in regular form. 1t is admitted by the
warmest partisans cfthe insurgents that
their only hope of success rests upon
recognition and aid from the United
States. Th ey appear to be getting a
good deal of the latter, but it is ex,
tremely doubtful that they will obtain
recognition until they establish gov
ernment, and show that they are able
to hold the island. The unreliability
of the dispatches and general state
ments in the New York and the pro
vincial newspapers, in regard to the
doings and the intentions of both par
ties, is so notorious that it is difficult
even to estimate the prospects of sue
cess for either Side. But the crisis in
Cuba cannot be far off, and in few
weeks perhaps, it will be safe to pre-
dict the result of the instruction.

x Dutchrnan's Insurance. !

A certain Dutchpau, owner Of a
small house, had effected On insurance
on It of eight hundred dollars, although
it had been built for much less. The
house had got burned down, and the
Dutchman then claimed the full amount
for which II had been insured; but the
officers of the company refused to pay
more than its actual value--ab0ut six
hundred dollars. He expressed bis
dissatisfaction in powerful broken En-
glish, interlarding bis remarks with
some choice Tuetonic oaths es
"If you wish it," said the actuary OF
the insurance company, 1--WE will build
you house larger and better than the
one burned down, as we are positive it
can be done for even less than six
hundred pounds"
To this proposition the Dutchman
objected, and at last was compelled to
take six hundred dollars. Some weeks
sitter he had received the money he was
callen upon by the same agent who
wanted him to take out q policy OF
life insurance on himself or his wife.
Ifyou insure your wife's life for
$4,000" the agent said, "and she
should die, you save the sum to solace
your heart"
"Dat be tam " exclaimed the Dutch
man. "You 'surance fellows ish all
tiefs! If l insure my wife and my wife
dies, and if ] goes to the office to get
my two tousand pounds, do gets all
the money? No not quite. You will
say to me, 'she wasn't worth two tous-
and pounds; she vas worth bout six
hundred. If you don't like the SIX hun
dred pounds we will give you bigger
aid better vife!"
