TIE SHENANDOAH VALLEY.-The scenes
of rural peace and plenty to be found in many
p~ortions of Virginia are truly refreshing and
cheering. Especially is this the case in what
is known as the great Shenandoah Valley. We
have recently passed through a large portion
of that favored region, and were never more
struck with its beauty or with the abundant
gifts which a mupi6cent Providence has snow
cred upon it than then. From Staunton down
to its lowest borders it is one prolonged gar
den spot, blooming like a veIdure Gao OASIS.
All traces Of grim war have been sweep away
by the hand of industry and the bru!ai poas'
crow would have to carry Its rations "nie ~,
ing over it., exists only in the lnfamy OF the
mast. The barns and dwellings which his
torch-bearinr marauders leVelcd to the earth
have been rebuilt ; the destroyed fencing has
heen replaced, and OVERLOOKING gamers AMI
waving fields of corn and grass proclaim the
triumph of nature over the barbarism Of man.
1t is pleasant to behold the evidences of thrift
and prosperity which have 30 soon followed in
the track OF fire and sword. The fertile fields
which there abound, responsive to the toll OF
man are giving out a generous yield OF the
fruits Of the earth, and shedding abroad a
happy influence on the people.
Chief among the many places which com
mana the aQmlT8tlOD OF Inc tTaVelleI tnIouRu
the Valley is the magnificent Mount Airy
estate of our townsman Nh. John G. Meem.
We enjoyed the pleasure Of sojourning there
several days, and can testify alike to its rare
natural beauties, the elegant and bounteous
hospitality it dispenses, and the charming so
ciety which it affords. In combination, its
attractions are many and great. The place
itself, with it's thousands of broad fiat acres
spreading out in unbroken vista before the eye,
its background Of blue mountains, its silver
waters cleaning in the sun light, its graceful
slopes, its lowing herds aud luxuriant fields, is
worth a trip of a thousand miles to see. There
is probably no other estate in Virginia equal to
this. The corn crop now growing upon it will,
it is estimated, produce fifteen thousand bush;
els, and the yield of wheat was six thousand
five hundred bushels. And yet grazing. and
not farming, is the principal business. This
will afford some idea of the extent and value
of the place-but no just idea of its real beauty
can be formed without seeing it, and once seen
it will never be forgotten.
Nature was indeed in muoi6cent and pro.
digal mood when she formed and fashioned the
great Valley of Virginia. -LyncAJurg Nrg.

SUPER PHOSPHATE.

The best and mos! popular Fertilizer in use.
Quick and active rs Peruvian tiusno, and
permanently improves the soil.
1t stands the drought better than any other
Ferti. izcr, which is very important to the Tar
MGR.
1t is manufactured Of Bones, Animal Matter
and u rich Phosphate Guano, continuing over
sixty per cent. of Bone Phosphate of l. me,
treated with Sulphuric Acid, aud III to 10 per
cent. Bono Phosphate OF Lime rendered solu-
BILE; ut the same time rendered quick in its ac-
ton by the addition Of over : per cent Of Am
m"nia.
This superior Phosphate has now been tested
for over five years, on all kinds Of crops, by the
side Of all known Fertilizers, proved equal TO
tho best, and has givon Ill the general satisfsc-
ton that could be desired.
For this valuable Fertilizer we only ask n
trial side by side with any Fertilizer in the
market to attest is superiority.
Every farmer should give it q trial, as the
cost will be more than repaid the iir.t year, and
its beneficial effects lasting.
For Corn, Oats, Wheat, Ryo or Grass, it has
no superior.
Zeli's Phosphate is ino and dry for drilling,
and is put UP in bags or barrels.
Price $50 per ton Of 1000 lbs.
Send for u circular, and read the certificates
OF some Of the host farmers in Virginia who
attest its superiority over all other Fertilizers.

SOLURLE PACIFIC GUANO,
Improved in
QUALITY AND CONDITION.
The quality of this Guano is materially i'm
proved this season by tho addition to its COM
position Of q large per cent Of the
SALTS OF POTASH.
Tits improved in condition by being brought
into market sufficiently dry and uniformly fine
to pass with ftcility and regularity through the
orifces Of tho
WHEAT DRILL.
More than 81. UC0, 600 is involved in the pro-
duction Of this Gusno, and the trade in it has
steadily increased, until now it fur exceeds that
of any other fertilizer.
The Pacific Gusno Company has a far greater
interest in the maintainsnco Of thv quality Of lis
Guano than any number of consumers can
have; hence no apprehension need exist rs to its
continued excellence.

EXCELSIOR is composed of 700 pounds OF
No. l Peruvian Guano, and 1900 pounds of Sol
uole Phosphate Of Lime (bones dissolved in
sulphuric acid potash and soda, forming the
most concentrated, universal and durable fer
tilizer ever offered to the farmer-combining all
the stimulating properties of Peruvian Guano,
and the ever durable tertilizing properties of
| Ground Bones-supplyingan abundance of Am.
| monis for any crop, and all soils, and IN 8 per-
fectly fixed condHion-not volatile and passing
off with the first crop, as with PeruVisn and
other ammoniacal gusnos, but stimulating the
| crop to which is is applied, and all succeeding
ones. giving to poor, worn out and unproduct-
i've soils new life and vigor, making, them, IN
this respect, equal to the most highly Guilt
waited lands, upon which much time and money
have beer expended.
EXCELSIOR Has introduced in 1858, and we
challenge the manufacturer and vendors of fer
t~ilizers, natural or artificial Guano, to chow re.
suits so invariably successful as can be shown
from f q its use u % One Of the I PR0PRI ! rp s SH-
UTE OF ITS MANUFACTURE, and there.
fore warrant every bag uniform, and to contain
by analysis the standard of fertilizing proper
ties, giving that protection to the farmer which
he does not have i'll the purchase Of any other
Gusno or Fertilizer sold.
Excelsior is in fine dry powder, prepared ex-
pressly for drilling, and can be applied in any
quantity per acre, however small; and it is the
opinion of the most prominent and calculating
farmers, after TWELVE years experience in
testing it side by side with other popular fertii-
sior is equal to zoo to 300 pounds of any other
Fertilizer or Guano offered for sale, and there
fore is fully 100 to 200 per cent cheaper.
NArThe very best evidence we can offer of
the value of Excelsior as a crop grower and
fertilizer, is the fact of its being initiated and
counterfeited. Some unprincipled msnufac-
turers have actually used the trade mark for
the purpose of palming off their worthless COM
pounds.
