however, is different from these, and. however in
terestng, they must be passed by. The rich mineral
deposits of some of these formations too might well
occupy time Ii would be interesting to speak of
the iron ore, the copper, the zinc, and the gold but
they must be passed five refer to the section and the
order in which the rocks deposited, it becomes
apparent that the surface had been greatly changed
since the original deposit. The softer rocks have
been worn away, the soluble ones have been dis
solved. and the hard and compound ones have been
dlsintegTated decOmposed, and tho soft material
has been carried away to form new beds. Soils
originate in these ways. First, by the decay or
railroad passes through hill the matter thrown
out though apparently hard rock, soon crumbes and
makes an excellent soil. Soils are also made by
dntt that is, by the debris of rocks carried from
one place to another considerably remote. This
removal is often for remarkable distances. In the
north of the State hills beneath which is trap
rock the crushing of which would make compare
lively poor soil But these lands are good because
they are made up partly of the dust of Limestone
rocks that has been carried from the north and de-
posted upon the trap ridges. The third way in
which soils originate is by the solution of rocks and
the mechanical action of water Ill river bottoms.
Some of our richest soils are thus composed. The
chemical difference in the makeup of soils is very
great and analysis is of great importance, for If
correct, it will correspond to the results developed
by actual illage. For instance. IN the north OF tho
State,~ along the Kittatlnny Valley, is a soil that
upon analysis surprised by the quantity of rich
constituents with which | found 1t loaded. 1t Is

MIDLAND BONDS.

on THE
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
RAILROAD IN NEw-YoRK STATE.
TIE NEw-YoRK AND OswEGo
MIDLAND RAILROAD
extends from New-York City to the City of Oswego.
on Lake Ontario distance of 400 miles, including
branches. The line is completed about LOO miles
from Oswego, and regular trains running daily.
Rapid progress is making in the balance of the line.
and the entire work will be completed at tno earli-
est practicable period.
There is no railroad bond offered upon the New
York market which so clearly combines the elements
of PERFECT SECURITY and a HIGH RATE OF INTEREST
as this proof of this assertion the following SIM
pie facts are presented:
/. THE LOCATION OF THE ROAD, stretching from
the City of New-York across the northern part Of
New-Jersey and the rich and populous MIDLAND
COUNTIES OF NEW YORK STATE, to the nearest port
on the great Lakes, is such that it must command
large through and local traffic from the moment it is
opened The route from NewYork to Buffalo will bs
shortened seventy miles, and to Oswego forty-fve
miles.
@ The Cosr OF BUILDING THE ROAD is about
$4,000 per mile and 10000 of that amount is neces
sary furnished by stock subscription before dollar
is used from the sale of bonds since the issue Of the
latter is positively limited to $4,000 PER NILE Oh
ROAD BUILT AND IN RUNNING ORDER.
OVER s6,0O0OOO have already been paid in on stock
subscriptions.
g. The mortgage bonds every railroad running
out of New-York City are good and interest 10
promptly paid on them.
f. THE TOTAL INTEREST LIABILITY of this great
through route of railway between the Lakes and tho
Atlantic coast 400 miles in length. will thus be only
s5GOOOO per annum after the whole line is completed
On tho most moderate calculations the average
EARNINGS OF A SINGLE MONTH would Ear exceed
this sum.
These bonds pay seven per cent in gold. free OK
United States Income tax and this with gold at l20
is equal to about 81 PER CENT YEAR. No rational
person could expect SAFE INVESTMENT WITHIN
OUR Own STATE to be offered on more liberal terms
than these.
The bonds have % years TO run; are issued IN de
nominations of $1,000; bear Seven Per Cent Interest
in gold free of Income Tax: are Coupon or Regis
tered, with interest. payable semiannually in New
York, on the lst of January and lst of July.

Aftergivngthese analyses of soils from various Sec
tons the Professor spoke of the deposits of fertilizers
OF these there many in theregular formations and
the superficial deposits OF the State There would be
time to mention only the most important; and, first
of green-sand mari. fertilizer occurs
in regular and extensive beds Three OF these are
well characterized and defined. They are each about
twenty feet thick, and extend entirely across the
State from Raritan Bay to the head of Delaware
BAY. distance of 90 miles. They slope off toward
the SOUTHEAST with descent of 80 feet to the mile
so that any one of them has breadth of 10 miles
within 800 feet of the surface. The amount OF the
material is practically ineXhaustbe. 1t has been
the means of eurching large district of country.
Land that was entirely worn ont and abandoned
has been restored 10 more than It's original
fertility by the use of mari alone. Its OK
cellence is attested by the experience Of
thousands who have enjoyed its benefits. |
am confirmed in my opinion of its value by the teSt-
mOny of successful farmers, who have used IL for
twenty years or more, and who assure me they can
better afford to incur an expense OF from s. to s. per
tun than to farm without 1t or 10 use any other pur
chased fertilizers; and also confirmed by my own
observation in all parts of New Jersey where mari
has been used 1t gives lasting fertility to the soil
While all other fertilizers are exhausted, and the
soils become poor have to the first field that has
ever been well marled that is now poor One instance
was found where poor and sandy land marled
more than thirty years ago. and has ever since been
titled without manure and not well nanaRed which
is still in good condition. Occasionally married fields
are seen that do not grow crops as large as they
once did, but all their fertility is Immediately re-
stored by dressing of lime, an effect which could
not have been produced by the lime on unmarried
land. | am averse TO having the valuation of the
various gTeen-sand marls which are used III the
State based on the phOsphOric acid and potash only
has been done in some analyses for do not think
they the only useful substances in it. Some have
fine carbonate of lime OF too much value to be
many of them is enough to be very beneficial to
crops The question of the value of manure adj
mts of exact solution. for phosph0rc acld, potassa
and ammonia have regular market value. Using
the basis of Prof johnson, and also OF Nocker ana

The comparison may be carried further, for as the

the weakness or other disorder of the stomach be-
trsyed by the face Of the invalid. The complex.

The broken main spring of a watch nav BE- re-

Moving Match :

Moving Match. The moving match,
which was arranged to take place on the farm
of Mr.. McArdle, south Of town, on Tuesday
last, did not call out as many people to witness
the trial, as would have been the case had it
been more generally known. When every
thing was in readiness to commence, com
mittee Of three was elected to examine the
working OF each machine, and report their de-
cision at the close. The machines on the
ground were the Clipper, brought by Con w
D Lindsey; tho Sulky, by A D Pelton, and
the Buckeye, by John Stahl. Commencing
with the Buckeye, the merits OF each machine
were tested in turn, after which a decision, on
the general merits Of the machines was sub
mitted by the committee, NJ T Nef, Jeremiah
Gibbs and Jonah Hendricks, in favor of the
Clipper. 1t is not our place to criticize OF conf
mend the decision of the judges. Each Of the
machines arc good, and are probably the best
three now in use.

Altogether it proved very pleasant and in

were made to organize Lodge of Good

A week previous to last Saturday, number
