Action to Test the Validity OF Title to Real
Estate ON Seventh Avenue.
Elizabeth NJ Conkling us. j. Roneaine BrOacn-
This is an action to test the validity The title of the
paintin to certain property in the Twenty y-second
ward. Baltis Moore died and left considerable pro-
pery in real estate to his sister and grand nephew
Of his who were his only heirs. The sisters name
was Margaret Cheesebrough, and the grandnephew's
Augustus NJ. Winter. division Oi the property was
made by deed by these two heirs. Mr.. Winters
mother married second time, and had children by
her second marriage and when Winter died without
being married a question arose as to who were bis
heirs. BY the laws Of this State properly In
herted by descent does not 60 10 relatives
OF tine half blood, and on this ground the
mother OF Winter claims the estate in fee.
The plaintiff was about to buy OF this property,
but on advice Of his lawyers refused to confirm the
agreement on the ground that the division Of the
property between the grandnephew and sister OF
Baths Moore made Winter purchaser or the prop
ery, and not an inheritor. If this the case the
estate would go to the half brothers and sisters OF
WINTER and not to his mother. 1t was decided, how
ever to bring the case before the General Term to
decide the question OF title. After much argument
yesterday the Court took the papers, reserving Its
deCtStOn.

Enterprise In Farming.

We are inclined to think, says Doctor
True, that more farmers fail in being
what they wish to be, or in having what
they want to have, through want OF en-
terprise, than the want of any other
requisite, IL industry and frugality there
is probably no class that equals them. The
money gained by honest toll in the field is
seldom wasted IN the wine cup or gam
bling table. They work hard and long, and
ccrupul0usly save their earnings; still,
comparatively few become wealthy, and
with those few the wealth acquired is or
dinerily the work CT lifetime.
This comes, we think, chiefly from a
lack CT eDteJpEise-from being over eau
tious about entering into any branch OF
farming operations that has not been
thoroughly tried, tested and declared safe.
TEE old atage, nothing ventured, moth
ing had" is exemphfed in the lives Of %
Out OF every hundred farmers.
A certain degree Of caution is good
thing; but it is quite as tad TO have too
much Of it SO too little. For every farmer
who loses by showing some enterprise in
raising new crops, sowing new varieties
of seed, or in branching out into some
new line of farming, there are a hundred
who keep themselves poor by always run
ming into the same old ruts II is not to
be expected that all new things will pay
10 farming, any more than II other kinds
Of business; but some OF them will psy,
and these will compensate for what has
been lost in experimenting with others.
AS rule, man thinks better of him
self, and his neighbors thing better of him,
if be have tle courage and enterprise to
strike boldly out into some new under
taking that promises well, even if he fails
in it, than they do If he sits coHtentedly
down, and docs the thing which his father
saw his grandfather do.-Farm and Or.

Democratic Gains In Connecticut.

The result Of the election in this town
is especially encouraging TO the DemOc-
racy. There was very little interest tax
en- ny tho political committees, and every
mSn voted or not as he saw fit. Yet the
the result was q Democratic majority Of
about $40, which is jus5 about the aver
age Ma jority st town elections for several
years past. Last year the party was d.
vided md a mixe1 ticket was elected.
This yeer Democrats took our advice and
c01ciudsd 10 fight the tnemy instead OF
their friends. The old f,;ht CT factions is
now happily ended, and the party Is IL
position TO Go good service in the spring
campsisn. The Democrats of Walling-
ford have seen the error OF their ways
and elected the regular ticket by about 80
majority. This speaks well for the party
in that sterling old town. The efforts OF
few to create discussions were success
full for time, but the common interest IN
the success of Democratic principles has
produced harmony. We regret that the
Democrats of HaTtfjId were not Animal
ed By the same spirit as those of Wal.
lingford and New Haven. Owing to local
dissensioBs only q portion of the DEM
Ocratic ticket was elected. TIE board of
selectmen is divided. The Democrats
elect the town clerk ard most of the cub
ordinate officers. So far as returns have
been received, very few changes have been
made. North Haven, which has been
steadily Republican IL or ID years, went
Democratic by 6 majority on Mondsy.
Norwalk has usually been good for about
300 Republican majority, but this year il
elects a citizens ticket. A special dis
patch to the Register saysthst the Radical
slate for town officers was defeated by q
large majority. Other towns in the State
have done well. BTanford, divided last
year, elects a clean Democratic bosrd
Barkhampsted, which has heretofore been
very close town, gives 60 Democratic
msjority.-New Hioen Register.

ManurIng Land.

IN recent number of the Agriculturdl
Gazette this subject is discussed from q
scientific standpoint. The article con-
tains much valuable data which will be
found useful, and we herewith reproduce
the material portion of it:
Prof. Playfair says that from every
wheat growing farm of 500 acres, on the
four course system, there is removed
every year, in the form of grain and
straw, more than $4,000 pounds of aka
lies, about 5000 pounds of salts of lime
and magnesia, $4,000 pounds of Silica
and nearly $1,000 pounds of phospates,
the latter being found nearly altogether in
the grain, and therefore almost all re-
moved from the premises. Phosphate of
lime, magnesa and soda and potash, and
some other phOspates are necessary for
the formation of a great many seeds, and
are found in considerable quantity, es-
pecially in those of the cereals indeed, it
has been often remarked, that the cereals,
like domestic animals, naturally follow
man in his migrations. The seeds of all
kinds OF grasses, beans, peas and lentils,
also contain large proportion of the
phosphates.
In applying bones to land for the pur-
pose OF restoring the phosphates, the
farmer must not expect 10 see any great
improvement upon the next succeeding
| crop; if he wish them to have an imme-
date effect, he must mix with sulpburic
acid and water; but this diminishes the
permanency of their action, and in some
measure entails loss, as the increased
| solubility of the manure renders it liable
to be washed away, beyond the sphere of
the plant, by rains. The medium state
between too great insolubility, and too
great solubility of bones, is after bruising
them. This gets rid of the gelatine or
glue with which they are combined, and
which diminishes their solubility if the
| soil be rich in vegetable matter.
According to DIR. Play fair, every farmer
should keep an account Of stock, with a
debtor and creditor side, for each field
then in his crops he could tell how many
pounds of potash, OF phosphstes, and OF
magnesia, he had robbed the soil Of by
the growth of the plants, and let him give
credit to the field in manure for those
amounts of which he bad robbed it. II
he robs it only of potash, as in the case OF
turnips, why should he be at the expense
of giving it silica and various other ingre-
dients2 Let him give back the potash
there is no uss in giving hOst of other
things to the soil let him give such ma
nure as is necessary and useful To the
plant, and not put in several other things
which the plant does not require.
The Plymouth Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1869-1941, 1870-10-20

IF we take glass Of water it begins to
enter the blood within one minute after it
is swallowed, and soon it is all there. If
we take cup of tea all the soluble parts
of it are in the blood in very short time,
usually. Ii we take glass OF whisky or
dirty beer it Is on the same route of travel
with the tea, and very impure blood it
makes at times. To be sure, all hands
go to work to get rid of it; the little ca
pillaries of the skin go to emptying the
liquids out through the skin as fast as
they can, and if the weather is warm,
they get along pretty rapidly at their
work. The lungs throw it out in our
breath, in the shape of vaper, and the
kidneys work away as lively as they can.
Then our food, when it is properly pre-
pared by digestion, goes so far as 1t is
soluble into the same current OF the
blood. If we eat suitable, nutritious
food, the products of it are all wanted to
supply the waste to the tissues and the
material is carried along to the points
where it is wanted, and is then used.
Further, when the smallest part Of mus
Gle, or nerve, or of any part of the
body is worn out, it must be removed,
and il is taken in very small pieces and
floated Off in this same stream Of the
blood to be still further changed, and if
of use, it is used; otherwise it finds its
way out Of the body.
So We can see how the blood is continu.
ally changing, growing pure an d impure.
Not impure because some villainous
stream of dark poison maintains its stay
there, floating around to do what mischief
it may, but impure because we have in
trOduced the impurities to it through our
stomachs or lungs; impure, perhaps, be.
cause we have filled it with the contents
OF some viliainOus bottle of somebody's
dye stuff, which he claims will purify the
| blood.
If we would have pure blood then, lei
Us breathe pure air, eat pure food, and
drink pure water. -HOusehOld.

advantages it offers to purchasers. Sup
pose Elias Howe had patent which
covered all TIE principles of construction
be found in any of the sewing machines
the country, what would such
onopoly bring in the market?
About five years ago, when another
enormous hoist was given to the rates OF
C 1stoms duties, q special tax was laid on
manufacturers o. four and halt per
cent. They protested to be satisfied with
this arrangement, because the tariff
shielded them against foreign competition.
They would have charged just az much
without the tax IS with it, because the
demand for their products at that time
was greatly in excess of the supply, and
the cost of production was not made the
basis of calculation in determining what
the prices of their goods and wares
should be. In releasing the manufacturers
from the tax, the people ct large were
not enabled to buy goods cheaper, and
tie treasury lost about $50 OOOOOO.
We now understand how the repeal OF
the tax on sales will result in great re-
lief to the people, but they will not OBJ
| tain relief from the repeal of tax impos-
| ei on classes of mOnOpOllsts whose prices
are adjusted, not by the laws OF supply
aud demand when the doors OF competl
ion are open, but by an authority which
makes the public subject to them IN the
business under their control.
| If our tariff laws have not given manu-
facturers q monopoly, very many leading
| Republican Journalists and Congressman
have sadly misrepresented the operation
OF those laws. If the railroad corpora
| tons OF this country are not monopolies,
a large majority of the people are mis-.
taken OF this point If the National
Banks have not been granted speclsl and
exclusive privileges, men of both parties,
in dealing with those institutions, and dis
cassing the influence they exert on the
business and legislation of the country,
have been led into grave errors concern
ing the character and powers OF the
banks.
Congress has repealed the tax on manu-
features 1t las taken off the specia
taxes on national banks and railroads. II
hiss cut down the income tax halt, by
which heavy capitalists will be most di
rectly and greatly benefited, and now tht
Republican press i5 busy in alleging thai
these diminutions in taxation will release
the whole body of the people from bur
dens equal to the extent Of the loss o
revenue which will be occasioned by sucl
action.
This claim rests on the assumption tina
the consumer in all cases psys the tax
The idea is that the tax enters into con
siderstion with the producer in determin
ing the prices of his products. SO far a.
this idea is concerned, the rule will no
apply TO monopolists. Their prices ar
determined, not by cost OF production, in
Guiding taxes, and expenses of every de
scsiption, but by the necessities of pur
chasers, and the ability to control th'
market. Congress has taken burden
from the shoulders of capitalists, and ha
rot reduced those of poor lien and work
ingmen.-CHicqqo Times.
