are informed that the Books of Subscription
to the Capital Stock will be opened at Smiths
Hall, Ashtseula, on Tuesday, the ED inst, at

speculation upon the prospects and benefits of
the enterprise. About its utility, and its effect
upon the growth and material prosperity of
this place there has been no difference OF
opinion. The question NOW is Its practicable
". : Can the means for building it be raised ?

ly and liberally, and demonstrate to those
friends along the line, who are TO meet this
question after our demonstration has been
made, that we are in earnest, and that our un

about the character of it, when we think of the
amount of talent that is to take part in it, The
question of chief concern, seems to be, shall
the effort of our singers to improve our home
music be recognized by our citizens, and will
they give the concert their attention and sup

fcient 10 properly meet the expenses, and the
hope is that the receipts on ihis occasion viii
be such as to lift the promoters of the class
out of their pecuniary responsibilities.

A VALUABLE MoRroAaE.-J. B. Bowie
Esq. Clerk of the Circuit Court for tbis
county, received for record last week a
very valuable mortgage, the United States
stamps upon which amount to So, ,872. It
was given from the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company to John W. Garrett,
Johns Hopkins, and James Tinker, Of
New York City, Trustees for the Bond
holders of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company to Barring Brothers & Co.
agents for the bondholders in London.
The amount of the mortgage is e0OO, 900
sterling, which at "a, 81 of American gold
would be $3,872, 600 in gold in London !;
to which, if 10 per cent. be added for the
cost of exchange, would amount to $4,-
259, 200 in gold in London. The mort
gage is required to be recorded in six
counties in Maryland and also in thirteen
counties in Virginia, in every county
through which the road passes, as we'll as

THE COMING SPRING.

The thawings and freezings of the past
two months have been very trying upon
the growing wheat, and we fear some
damage may have been done by the throw
ing out OF the young plants. 1t is hardly
possible to expect another such crop as
that of the last year, and it is to be hoped
that more remunerative price may be
realized to the farmer than what he has
received for that of 1863 But we are
called upon to put forth all our energies
for the great corn crop of our country
which We are now soon to put in the ground.
No delay should be allowed in procur-
ing such manures as it may have been de-
termined to buy for spring use, in addi-
tion to the supplies they may have made
on the farm and those who may have APP
piled guano, bone-dust or super phosphate
last fall should be careful to sow clover
now, in order that when the clover crop
may be turned in, some two years hence,
the materials for forming mould may be
added to the soil, and its improvement car
ried on, as there can be no doubt of it
that the turning in of u luxuriant growth
of clover may be considered as equal to q
dressing of cen to fifteen tons of ordinary
barn-yard manure, furnishing, as it does
an abundance of the organic food which it
absorbed from the atmosphere in the
course of its growth.
Many farmers are manufacturing their
Gaoa nsdnures, the base of which is bone
arth dissolved with sulphuric acid-the
quantity of the latter is one hundred
pounds to two hundred pounds of the
bones the acid to, be diluted with twice
the quantity of water, and mixed with ten
bushels spent ashes, which will be suffici-
ent for an acre of land, and will carry il
through four or six years routine-to
be narrowed in.
A most excellent formula also for the
farmer is the following Ground bones,
plaster, ashes and salt, in the following
proportions for an acre, and will tell we'll
ON the soil for eight or ten years, viz ::
Two hundred pounds finely ground bones
one hundred pounds plaster, two hundred
and fifty pounds leached ashes, and ffty
pounds common salt. In this compound
will be found nearly all the mineral SUBJ
stances demanded by an ordinary grain
crop, but the two hundred pounds of bone
dust contains at least fifty pounds of organ
ic material, which, by. its decay in the
soil (Which speedily takes place as the
heat of the sun has its vivifying effect
rpon the earth) yields ammonia or some
form of nitrogenized matter favorable to
the growth of the crop. An acre with
such dressing will the first year produce
an increase of several barrels of corn to
the acre, and the effects will be probably
manifested for years to come. Let the
farmer make an experiment with it, and
our word for it, he will find his interest
to have been subseryed thereby, and a
more permanent improvement to his soil
than would have. been effected. by ,guano.

THR DEcIrNE IN GoLD The Baltimore
Gazette says-The heavy decline in: gold
has had quite marked effect in New York,
and there is more activity in trade at
reduced prices. Some of the retail mer-
chants have already adopted the plan Of
paying out silver change in sums not ex-
ceeding ifty cents at one payment. They
do this at comparatively small loss, as
Canada is overloaded with silver, which
can now be purchased there at a heavy
discount for gold. This must have its
effect. and it is not surprising that in
banking circles an immediate resumption
should be discussed. The great obstacle
IN the way is the return of bonds from
Europe. Government bonds are now at
par abroad, and spectators who purchased
them at forty and fifty cents on the dollar
make handsome profit by selling at
present prices. Quite large amount has
been thrown upon the American market,
and with the decline in cotton and the low,
price of breadstuffs, it is feared that there
will soon be drain of gold which will not
only prevent return to specie payments,
but run up the premium.
