| HE LIVING MAcHINE.-IDjure the main spring
OF watch and every portion of the works
becomes disordered. Tie human stomach is
to the human system what that elastic piece
OF metal is to chronometer. Itinf1uences the
action of the other organs. and controls, to a
certain extent, the whole living machine. The
comparison may be carried further; for as the
weakness or other imperfections of the main
spring is indicated on the face of the time -piec
so also is the weakness or other disorder OF the
stomach betrayed by the face of the invalid
The complexion is sallow or faded, the eyes are
deficient in lustre and intelligence, and there
ls worn, anxious expression in the whole
eountenance which tell as plainly as written
words could do, that the great nourishin ing orqan
whose office 1t is to minister to the wants Of
the body. and to sustain and renew all its parts,
's not performing its duty. 1t requires reno.
waiting and regulating. and to accomplish this
snld to be the ono thing needfia. The broken
main spring of watch may be replaced by a
new one, but the stomach can only be repaired
and strengthened, and this is one Of the objects
OF the famous vegetable restorative which for
eighteen years has been waging a successful
contest with dyspepsia in all climates. As
specific for Indigestion it stands alone. When
the resources of the pharmacopeia have been
exhausted, without, at best, doing more than
mitigating the complaint; course of this
wholesome and palatable, yet powerful, s,om-
ashio effects a perfect and permanent cure. In
all cases of dyspepsia the liver is more or less
disordered, and upon this important gland, as
well as upon the stomach aud bowels, the Bit.
ters act with Singular dislinotness, regulating
and reinvlgorating every seorstive aud aasimi.

IMPORTANT DECISION. AT the re-
cent term of the Court of General
Sessions Of this county, q decision of
some importance was rendered by his
Honor Judge Orr. A warrant for
bastardy, some time ago, had been
referred for trial to Warren D. Wilkes
Esq, magistrate. The defendant, by
his attorney, J. P. Reed, Esq, fled
n plea to the jurisdiction Of the court.
The magistrate was disposed to sus:
tain the plea to the jurisdiction, but
over-ruled it, in order that the case
might be sent up on appeal to the Cir.
cult Court. On Monday last, the
whole case was fully argued" by Mr.
Reed for the defendant, and Solicitor
Perry ou behalf of the State. After
consideration, Judge Orr decided tc
sustain the plea to the jurisdiction
and held that, under the present state
of the law, neither magistrates mol
trial justices have the right to try ca
ses of bastardy. His Honor distinct
ly stated that the law imposing I
penalty for bastardy was not repealed
and reserved to himself the right tt
decide, upon q case presented, wheth
er the Court of Sessions did have tn,
right to try such offence. We drew
the inferencS that the Cont of Ses
sions would take cognizance of bas

The Manure Question.

We would really like to know what ques-
ton in farming may be said to be perfectly
settled. For some time past we have been
hearing much about saving manure in piles
and under sheds, composing, the waste of
ammonia if spread on the surface, and the
necessity of having it well rotted. Now
comes the Germantown Telegraph, one of
the oldest and wisest of agricultural Jour
mails, saying that there is no danger of los
ing fertiliZing properties by evaporation,
that unrotted manure plowed under il
worth twice a. much as that which il rot
ted, that it should be hauled directly from
the stables and placed upon the land for
spring crops, if the land be hard and not
frozen, and that all the trouble OF stacking
or housing manure is not only useless, but
one years use of ii is lost We have no
doubt that unrotted manure plowed in will
help the first crop materially, and still be
worth about as much for future crops a. if
held over to be thoroughly rOtted. In adj
dition, land with which unrotted manure
is mixed will stand the drought better than
without it. On the whole, we are disposed
to concur with the telegraph, except, of
course, when manure il wanted for spe-
cial purpose, and to apply on hills for the
greatest possible advantage the first year.
THE Country Gentleman considers plaster
one of the cheapest fertilizers used in
American farming, and says: "Where
plaster is applied to clover and other
grasses to manifest advantage, there can
be but little doubt that from fifty TO one
hundred dollars worth of hay is realized
for every ton sOwn, at the rate of one hun
dred pounds per acre" AnEnglish farmer
says that sixteen pounds of guano are
equal to one load of barn-yard manure.
Use broadcast with plaster; in hills with
iOam
