DAUGH'S IMPROV WE'D RAW BONI
D PHOSPHArE OF lime.
ELLIS AMMON lat E D
BONE
SUPER PHOSPHATE.

The best and most popular Fertilizer in use.
Quick and active as Peruvian Guano, and
permanently improves the soil.
It stands the drought better than any other
Fertilizer, which is very important to the far
mer.
It is manufactured of Bones, Animal Matter
and rich Phosphate Guano, containing over
sixty per cent. of Bone Phosphate of Lime,
treated with Sulphuric Acid, and 10 to 10 per
cent Bone Phosphate of Lime rendered solu-
BILE; at the same time rendered quick in its &C.
ton by the addition of over 2 per cent OF Am
monia. ,
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
the best, and has given all the general satlstsc-
ton that could be desired
For this valuable Fertilizer we only ask q
trial side by side with any Fertilizer in the
market to attest It's superiority.
Every farmer should give it a trial, as the
cost will be more than repaid the first year, an d
its beneficial effects lasting.
For Corn, Oats, Wheat, Rye or Grass, 1t has
no superior.
Zells Phosphate is fine and dry for drilling,
and is put up in bags or barrels
Price $50 per ton Of 1000 lbs.
Send for circular, and read the certificates
of some of the best farmers in Virginia who
attest its superiority over all other Fertilizers.

tits improved in condition by being brought
into market sufficiently dry and uniformly fine
to pass with facility and regularity through the
WHEAT DRILL.
More than 81 UOO, 900 is involved in the pro-
ducton of this Guano, and the trade in it has
steadily increased, until now it far exceeds that
of any other fertilizer.
The Pacific Guano Company has far greater
interest in the maintainance Of the quality Of it's
Guano than any number Of consumers can
have; hence no apprehension need exist as to its
continued excellence

GAVE YOUR COALi
BY THE RADIANT BAsE-BURNING

The great and leadi2g features which distin'
tinguish the Radiant Stove from al otner base
Burners is the peculiar construction OF the
magazine and the arrangement OF the same
with the fire pot. Among the advantages gam
ed will enumerate- .,,
lst. The total preclusion of the possibility OF
explosion the magazine be ng so constructed
and perfected that instead OF the gases being
collected and retained therein, they are con,
veyed to the fire where they are consumed and
tbns producing greater economy in the con-
sumption OF fuel and increased power OF radis'
ting heat. .,,
"a. Largely increased fire surface for illumi-
nation and radiation by the magazine incilnlng
from the front of the top OF the stove 10 the
back of the fire pot.
Sd. The removal of all iupediments to the
free combustion Of the fire by relieving It OF the
whole of the pressure of the coal IN the maya
zine.
4th. The non.ignition of the coal in the mag.
azine-it being placed beyond the reach of the
intense heat of the f-e-and thus really giving
US a mapaz line to hold coal instead of q vertical
eetort in which all the gases Of the coal are De-
ing distilled and wasted by being either con-
till unfortunately exploded, involving conse-
quences not unfrequentiy OF q serious and pain
full character:
9Th. Simplicity of operation-merely requir-
inR the fire to be started as in any ordinary
stove, after which the magazine can be supplied
which the Gre may be desired.
9th. Durability radient; in the parts surround
ing and exposed to the fire, being made extra
heavy.
Each one Of these stoves will be sold at New
York retail price.
Also large assortment of Cooking Stoves.
Parlor, hall and Dining Room Stoves, Hot Air
Furnaces and Ranges Of the most improved
patterns, all of which will be sold low for cash;
Fire Place Heaters put to heat one, two and

STONE Coal IN RooKINaHAM.-We have
10 our Office specimen of stone coal recently
discovered upon the farm of a Mr.. Jones, not
far from the Shenandoah county line, about
nine miles from Timbervill, in Rockingham
county. The coal is of the anthracite variety
and of very fine quality, being but slightly
mingled With safe. 1t is said to exist 10 large
quantities and is easily reached from the sur
face. The discovery Of til, c,s was made BY

EXCELSIOR is composed of 700 pounds OF
No. Peruvian Guano, and 1900 pounds of Sol
uble Phosphate Of Lime Clones dissolved in
sulphuric acid potash and soda, forming the
most concentrated, universal and durable ter
tilizer ever offered to the farmer bining all
the stimulating properties of Peruvian Guano,.
and the ever durable tertilizing properties of
Ground Bones-supplyingan abundance of Am.
monia for any crop, and all soils, and IN per-
tectly fixed condition-not volatile and passing
off with the first crop, as with Peruvian ana
other smmoniscal guanos, 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.

he does not have III the purchase Of any other

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 fertil-
izers, that an application of 100 pounds Of Ex-
sior is equal to zoo to 800 pounds of any other
Fertilizer or Guano offered for sale, and there.

HrThe very best evidence We can offer OF
the value Of Excelsior as q crop grower and

STRANGE STORY or A JERSEY JUVENILE.

young gentleman from Brooklyn appeared in
Newark few days ago and stated to q member Of
the police force that lie was in search Of younger
brother VINO had disappeared from his home at
Elizabeth some months ago, and had not since
turned up. The truant and himself, he said, We're
stepsons Of DR.. King, Of Elizabeth. He was opposed
10 his mothers marriage and the moment OF its full
fment left AMI went TO reside In Brooklyn. Subse.
quently IN consequence, he alleged Of harsh treat.
ment, his younger brother cleared out, no one knew
where III the meantime the elder brother received
word that his stepfatber had attempted TO
perpetrate horrible crime Oh his (tlle
young mars, sister-.a mere girl. Her
brother posted ont at once TO Elizabeth, as he now
declares, with the full intention OF blowing out the
doctor rs brains He was armed, and, on arriving at
the lattels residence, he rang the bell. Expecting
his sepiather would answer the summons he
Ciutched his revolver. Some one else answered the
door, however, and it then transplred that the
doctor was III custody TO answer the alleged at
tempted outrage, as web other serious allegations
After concluding his story the young man inquired
the way 10 the Morris Canal as ne had heard lad
answering his brothers description, had been seen
on board one Of the boats. Within a very short time
he returned In company with a youngster-his
brother--wlom he was fortunate enough TO discover
ON Ole OF the boats in the lock.
