A FTER % years experience in the FERTILE
IN ing business, and after establishing wide
reputation for the purity and excellence of his
Bone Dust the subscriber has been induced to
prepare Phosphate suitable to the require
ments and every way worthy the attention of
the Southern Farmer.
The "MARYLAND" is a rejuvenator and
permanent improver of the soil. 1t stimulates
equal to Peruvian Guano, and sustains equal to
Bone, being composed almost entirely of these
ingredients, with very liberal percentage Of
Potash in the residuum. There is no adultera-
ter nor inferior article used-every particle of
the Phosphate being of essential benefit to the
land. Neither pal ms nor expense have been
spared in its preparation, and we claim for it
the greatest benefit to the farmer from the
smallest outlay.
For Cotton, Wheat and Corn, and as gener-
eral stimulant and aliment for worn and i'm
poverished land there can be nothing superior.
1t is warranted to run as high in Ammonia and
higher in Bone Phosphate than any other fer
tilizer in the market.

MANSFIELD.

While in Mansfield last week we had
the pleasure of meeting M. D. Harter,
Esq, of the Aultman & Taylor establish
ment, who,with his usual urbanity showed
US every attention. We also met our old
editorial friend J. E. Wharton, Esq, late
of Parkersburg, West Virginia and who
formerly published paper in Massillon.
Mr.. Wharton is now high private & re-
sides in Mansfield Mr.. W. is a gentle
man of fine attainments and of fine liter
airy taste, Hon. B. Burns, of that city,
we also,met, with whom for many years we
have been co-worker in the Demo-

NAL gentleman. We cannot omit a CRATE
full acknowledgment of attentions extern
ded by the Reverend DR.. Dulittell and Mr..
Hillyer, of the Aultman & Taylor es-
tablishment. We once visited Mansfield
under different auspices, when men were
savages and bayonets ruled. 1t is to be
hoped we are falling upon better days and
some more sensible and better men.

THE COREAN WAR.

Full details of the second battle be-
tween Admiral Rodgers's feet and the
Coreans, together with list ofall the off,
GERS engaged, have been received at Wash
ington. 1t seems that 600 Americans de-
feated 5000 of the barbarians. The Navy
Department is in receipt of dispatches
from the Admiral, but they will not be
given to the public until the Cabinet has
had an opportunity to examine them
The last Anglo-Chinese newspaper con-
tains the startling rumor that the Colora-
do and another America man-of-war had
ran aground, were captured by the Cor
cans, and all on board massaered with the
exception of Minister Low, who was re-
tanned as hostage. There is no confr-
nation of this alarming intelligence from
official sources. The disjointed Admins
tration had better be getting together
from Long Branch and elsewhere to at
tend to their business. They had better
send some man of sense to take command
of the fleet. Admiral Rodgers seems to
have got big contract.

The Cnmp Meeting

On our Fair Grounds has been, in point of
numbers, grand success. On Sunday
last vehicles loaded with people came from
all directions until the grounds were
crowded.
The services have been marked with a
growing interest, the various meetings be-
ing more and more fully attended and
much greater spirituality indicated.
Rev. d. w. Gorham, of New Jersey, is
the Secretary of the Managing Committee
and an important spirit in the whole af-
falr. The reverend gentleman feels the
Importance of his position it would seem.
On Friday last he wished to drive out at
the entrance gate, but the gatekeepers
promptly stopped his advance and in
formed him the outlet was at the east side,
that no carriages were allowed to pass ont
at the entrance.
He enquired vehemently if they knew
who he was
mo matter" said the officers, 'our or
ders are strict, and we shall enforce them
without distinction"
His reverence declared in his excite
ment he was bound to drive out at that
gatel ~
The officers, however, with cool, western
sohdlty, firmly maintained their position
and the New Jersey reverence, after som,
length of time, reluctantly turned his
horses head and drove round and out at the
other gate.
Mr.. Gorham will learn, if he remains
with US long enough, that we tolerate nc
distinctions here on accounted position OF
color.
The religious fervor has been on the in
crease, and some of the meetings are par
ticipated IN with remarkable interest. Tie
preachers usually hold meeting in. the
tabernacle at 6 p. m. The speaking Is
voluntary-open to all who feel inclined,
The attendance of preachers has been very
large.
On Saturday morning last, much rehgi-
Gus fervor was manifested at a prayer
meeting, especially by. Miss Matilda Fox,
cfBeaver township, Mahoning county, who
at last went into trance in which she re-
mained until Sunday evening at o'clock.
The trance lasted Sc hours and to all ap-
pearance the lady was ifeless except the
beating Of the pulse.
We have heard of one or two other
trance efforts that were not a success.
