Rect Culture.

The UtsterR Rural notes the fact that
farmers in the West, on account of the
partial failure of the corn crop last
year, are now turning their attention to
beet raising as an equivalent to that
staple for stock feeding, and still further
for the purpose of making sugar. 1t
remarks:
The mangle wurzel is admirably
adapted for mich cows, and also for fat.
tening stock. When raised IN rich SOIL
and properly cultivated, this variety OF
beet produces an immense quantity OF
nutrious provender, which is exceeding
ly useful for keeping stock improving
in condition during winter and spring,
1t is probable that the manufacture OF
sugar from beets will soon be carried on
extensively in the Northwestern States;
the want of supply of beets is all that
prevents manufacturers from establish
ing sugar factories all over the country,
Farmers should raise sugar beets this
year, aud encourage very important
manufa cture. The pulp from the fac
tories is very valuable for breeding cat
tie. The leaves are also useful for for
ace. Farmers will advance their own in
terests very much by assisting to estao-
lish an important manufacture at theli
lown doors.

The New England Farmer gives some
very sensible advice on the subject of
bringing swamp land into proper state
for cultivation. 1t is q fact that the
low lands are the most fertile and dura-
bic we have, and great wealth might be
be added to our country by suhjecting
swampy sections to the plow. The
Farmer says:
When we see farmer employing his
leisure in digging bitches, or putting in
tiles, we set him down as a thriving
man, as one who will succeed. He
knows where his labor will pay. Most
of these low lands may drained. Let
them be well surveyed; ascertain where
is the best out-fall, and how deep it
must be made, and then set about it
with a will, even if the main ditch has
to be made four or five feet in depth.
Make as many side drains as may be
necessary to take off all the water stand
ing within two or three feet of the sur
face. Tiles will be best in most cases,
for the side drains. These will take up
no land, and will be out of the way OF
the plow and moving machine. The
subsequent tire atment must depend upon
circumstances In some cases, top
dressing seeding and narrowing will be
best. Potatoes will generally be found
the best and most profitable crop for
cultivation.

The Penusylvnuia Cont Trade.

The Philadelphia Ledger reports the
anthracite coal trade to be still very un-
settled, no satisfactory arrangement as
to "basis' by which to determine wages
at the mines having been agreed upon
The difference is fifty cents ton as to
the minimum price of coal at the ship
ping points in the mining regions. The
miners insist on s3 as the lowest point,
while the operators adhere to their de-
termination to adjust wages at $3.50
per ton, advancing on that price as the
market shall warrant. The Ledger adds !:
The delay of an adjustment has, so
far, worked in favor OF the men at the
mines, as, under the impression that
operators will not advance, and that
there will be a strike on the lst of
ApIil, manufacturers ard other cousum-
ers of large amounts of coal have in
creased their orders during the past
week, and as coal production has not
been large, the trade has beea quite
active, aud prices for nearly all sizes of
coal firm. This has put operators in a
better humor, and Correspondingly
strengthened tie miners in their de-
mand, so that we learn q continuance
of work is probable at compromise by
splitting the difference making the
minimum basis S275 per ton, with
corresponding pay for all labor in and
about the mines.
As strikes aud suspensions carry
with them much loss to al. the various
interests in the trade; to the laborers
no less than to the operators, carriers
and consumers, it is greatly to be de-
sired that some satisfactory conclusion
should be arrived at before the men 60
ont. The production has considerably
increased the past week, especially in
the Schuylkill region. The Reading
Railroad Company brought down of all
kinds for the week ending on the oath

DEIAwARE. Msrch 26. $50.

DELAWARE, March 26, 1870.
As you have already stated, Bishop
Thomson's remains arrived here on
Tuesday. Yesterday afternoon, from
two till five o'clock, they laid in state
at the William Street N. z. Church, In
charge of the Alumni of the University

The funeral services took place to
day at 10 o'clock in the same church.
which was crowded to its utmost ca,
paeity. As the funeral procession came
in Rev. J. NJ. Jamison read a service;
Rev. DR.. Goodfellow read the 1OS6th
Hymn, which was sung to the tune OF
"Braden," by request of Mrs. Thomson
Rev. DR.. Trimble then led in a beauti-
full and affecting prayer, which brought
foods of tears from the audience. The
23d Psalm and 18th chapter of 1st Coiin'
thians were then read by Rev. -,
after which the choir sang the anthem
"Cone unto me, all ye that labor"
Rev. L. B. Gurley then made short
address, reviewing briefly some expert
ences in the earlier part of the Bishops
career, and all through his later years,
touching with beautiful effect upon the
grand and noble life which went out 80
suddenly but joyfully. Rev. W. D.
Goldman, the senior alumnus of the
University, then followed in an address,
in behalf of the three hundred alumni
of the University. He reviewed with
fine effect some of the dear legacies be-
queathed to them by the Bishop, and
added his testimony as to the sublime
and glrious nodel teacher who had now
departed, remarkiDg in the beginning,
that perhaps there were hearts more
deeply touched, there were no more sim
cere mourners than the alumni of the
Ohio Wesleyan University. Rev. DR..
Merrick then followed, and first read a
telegram Just received from the Pitts
burgh Conference, Bishop james presid-
ing, which stated that in honor of the
funeral occasion the Conference was
standing, mingliDg its prayers and SYM
pathies with the friends gathered about
the departed Bishop in Delaware. The
President then read beautiful closing g
address, following short biographical
sketch with tender, loving words in
honor of the illustrious dead. The An
them "Cast thy burden on the Lord"
aud silently, slowly, and sadly, the fu-
neral procession wended its way to Oak
Grove Cemetery. Here Prof. l.. D. Nc.
Cabe read the burial service, and the
choir sang the beautiful hymn, "We
shall sleep, but not forever Prof. 2.
S. then followed in prayer and the
benediction; and soon all that earth
claimed of Bishop Edward Thomson
was hid from the gaze of loving wife,
affectionate children, sad relatives and
world of friends, deeply bereaved, to
appear no more until the resurrection
morn. Though dead, he ever liveth il
our hearts, and will live while life en-
dures.

JEALOUSY AND MURDER.
A Negro Dashes Ont His RtVaPs
Brnins With a Water Pitcher.


About six weeks since, John Tillman,
le negro, was assaulted in Philadelphia
tby William Henry Atkinson alias "Plck
IAtkinson," alias Luke st. Clair" q ne
gro barber, from the effects of which
assault Tillman died. 1t appears that
the men had been at celOred ball,
where they both paid particular atten'
tion to Annie Miller, negro belle. AT
| the conclusion of the ball Tillman ac-
lcompanied Annie to her home, at the
corner of Fifteenth and Julian streets,
and this so incensed Atkinson,
that he vowed vengeance against
both of them. Soon after they
bad returned home, Atkinson came to
the door and raped. Annie got out OF
bed and admitted him. He rushed into
the room armed with n large knife, and
threatened to kill her if she made any
outcry. At this time Tillman was sit
ting asleep in chair, his head resting
on a table. Atkinson seized heavy
water pitcher and struck him on the
head with it, fracturing his skull. de
then threatened to kill Annie if she in
formed against him, and the girl be,
came so frightened that she concealed
herself under the bed. Atkinson
then left the house aud city. Annie
soon after disappeared. Tillman, I'M
gered for three days, when death
ensued. 1t was subsequently ascer-
tanned that Atkinson had taken refuge
in New York, and two Philadelphia
officers went to that city armed with
warrant for the arrest of the fugitive,
and on Saturday they arrested Atkinson
and the woman Miller, and both were
locked up in the police station. The
woman said that Atkinson threatened
her life if she made any disclosures,
and had compelled her to accompany
him to New York. Atkinson, a few days
ago, shipped as q barber on the Bnited
States frigate Colorado, and was ashore
on leave when arrested. Both will be

HomeatsAds for Discharged soldiers
Our attention is called to n bill lately pre-
scented In the House by Hon. q. W. scoaeld,
Of Pennsylvania, entitled can act amenda-
tory OF the homestead act Of May 20, 1869,
in favor Of honorAbly discharged soldiers"
The bill commends itself to all, inAsmuch as
1t asks for no bouutles whatever, but Is In
tended to give real and solid encourage
ment to large class Of our discharged sol.
dIers who desire homesteads upon the public
lands In the Western States. Such proyls'
ions as are therein contained will assuredly
gain the approval OF the Public Lands Com.
mittee, as the bill ia especially designed to
thoroughly protect and encourage actual
settlement upon the public lands, whilst the
inducements presented should DO held out to
the discharged soldiers, many Of whom have
but little means with large families to sup.
port, and would gladly avail themselves Of
the privileges therein contained. The con-
dltlons are much the same as under tho
homestead act, but grants much easier terms
to the soldier At the commencement than Is
now obtained under that act.
The policy of the Government Is that the
remaining public lands shall be taken up by
actual settlers. This bill will materially
assist In accomplishing this great and wise
purpose. The thanks Of the discharged
soldiers and the country is due Judge SEQ
deld for introducing, at this opportune time,
such Just, benevolent and most Salutary
measure, as 1t not only secures a home to
applicants, but will very materially acceler-
ate the settlement and improvement OF the
great West. Such measure will be a long
deferred act Of justice TO many Of our brave
boys who need homes. We hope the Public
Lands Committee, to whom the bill was re-
ferred, will take favorable action at an
early day.
