NTanuriag Market Gardens.

All successful market gardeners agree
that it is hopeless to grow good crops
without yearly application of manure i'll
large quantities. Henderson's Gardening
says:
ct is grave blunder to attempt to
grow vegetable crops without the use of
manure of the various kinds. never yet
saw soils of any hind that had borne a
crop of vegetables that would produce as
good crop the next season without the use
of manure, no matter how rich the soil
may be thought to be. An illustration Of
season. One of my meighbor1, q
market gardener of twenty year ex-
perience, and whose grounds have been
always a perfect model of productiveness,
had it in prospect to run a sixty feet street
through his grounds thinking his land
sufficiently rich to carry through crop of
eabbages without manure, he thought it
useless to waste money Dy using guano on
that portion en- which the street was to be,
but on each side sowed guano ut the rate
of twelve hundred pounds per acre, and
planted the whole with early cabbages.
The effect was the most remarkable [
ever saw ; the portion on which the guano
had been used sold off readily at
twelve dollars per hundred, or about
one thousand four hundred dollars
per acre, both price and crop being more
than average; but the portion from which
the guano had been withheld hardly aver
aged three dollars per hundred. The street
occupied fully an acre of ground, so that
my friend actually lost over 81, 600 in crop,
by withholding $50 for manure. Another
neighbor with a lease only one year to run,
also conclr'ied that it would be foolish to
waste manure on his last crop, and so
planted and sowed al without; the result
was, as his experience should have taught
him, crop of inferior quality in every
article grown, and his loss on his eight
acres of probably s.. 900 for the season.

STRANGE FREAK OF NATURE-AN EGG
WITHIN AN EGG.-One of the most singular
evidences of natures freaks was shown us
by Mr.. Francis M. James last evening. 1t
was no less than an egg within an egg.
This egg was laid Tuesday by hen be-
longing to Mr.. James and presented moth
ing singular in external appearance. His
wife having occasion to use it yesterday,
broke it and emptied the contents into a
bowl, when 10. smaller one about the size
of partridge egg was disclosed to view,
perfect in shape and real. existing curl
osity. This is a little ahead of anything
we have yet heard, and our own senses
bear witness of its truth.

The receipts of rents of City II ali and of Pound
fees have been kept in euoh manner that we have
been unable to arrive at any figures to what
is the condition Of those items OF revenue. We
have been informed by two parties that they
have paid larger amount for rent CT City Hall
than is credited, and it is well known that tho
building has been frequently occupied and only
eight occasions are accoTated for. The amount
Of Pound fees credited is much lees than citizens
have reported, but as few receipts given
and those not taken of we could not arrive
at the tacts-our rule having boe4 to reject all
items that could not substantiate beyond
doubt i and to which OF the city officers belonged
the duty OF collecting these two Items OF revenue
We could not learn.
We have made m examination of the disburse-

JACKSON, August 1.-The up
passenger train, due here at 2:l5
this morning from New Orleans,
encountered an accident last even
ing at Wesson Station, caused by
the carelessness Of some person
leaving a switch open, and throw
ing the train from the track, by
which a youth, aged about 10
years, named Robert Leonard, was
killed and the fireman of the en-
gine severely injured. Young
Leonard was a native Of Canton, q
newsboy on the New Orleans and
jackson Railroad, a brother-in-
law of the conductor, Oliver Ellis
worth, and withal a very popu.
lar youth. The party guilty of
this rec9less disregard of life in
leaving the switch open, should
receive the utmost punishment of
Of the law.
