silica or carbonate of msgnesia, and in
shaking expands but little.
We are satisfied that no cheaper fertili-
yer than lime can be used by cur farmers,
or one that viii be so permanent in its
effects. 1t is great error to suppose
that lands resting on limestone need no
lime. Their impoverishment is often
times due to the exhaustion of this ele-
ment. Nor is it necessary always to burn
the limestone 10 get beneficial effects.
When the limestone rocks lie thickly on
the surface it is only required to have
them beaten up finely and more luxuri-
ant growth and heavier yield will be
seen in the succeeding crop.
In applying it to land it is best to haul
it out before it is slaked, and put in piles
twenty feet apart, four bushels in spot.
This, when slaked, can be scattered, and
viii give about one hundred bushels to
the acre, on the supposition that one part
before shaking will make two afterwards.
If only about fifty bushels is required,
put half the quantity in q spot. We
should not advise the application of more
than fifty bushels of csustic lime at one
time. We trust our farmers may derive
in the future as great profit from the use
of lime as the farmers in Maryland and
New York hsvein the past.

The Harpeth Disaster - Inquest
Held by Justice DiiIahuuty-PrO-

In former report the name of Airs.

the killed, but her name was not given
with Others in The verdict of the Coro-
ner's jury, Coroner Brien having depu-
tisad Esquire J. S D.llahunty TO hold the
inquest Mr.. DiIlahunty has sent in his
report to the Coroner, from which it ap-
pears that the jury found "that the de-

down of the bridge on the Nashville and
Northwestern Railroad.n,
The repairs on the bridge were pro-
gp ssing rapidly yesterday, and it was
tn usht that the b.idge would be finished
by Z o'clock yesterday evening. The
smoking car, the ladies' car, and the bag
gage car had lot st last accounts, been
removed from the river, and they were
so badly damaged that some of the men,
wi 0 had been working at the wreck, in
formed US yesterday that they would
prc badly be burned, and the iron re-
moved. The water is only about four
and half feet deep under the bridge.

FIRE IN KNOXVILLE.
Narrow Escape of the Press and
Herald Office from Destruction.

From the ChattanoogA IlmesI July o.
From passengers from Knoxville yes
terday we learn that our friend of the
Press and Herald narrowly escaped a
serious loss. About l o'clock yesterday
morning a fire was discovered in the eel
lar of Maj. Thomas O'Connor's extensive
saddlery manufactory, which occupies a
part of the building in which the Press
and Herald is published. The fire was
stopped before it reached the second story,
but in the meantime q large portion of
the type, ETC., had been carried into the
street.
The sitting smoke of burning leather
filed the building so that some of the
compositors at work in the third story had
to escape from the windows. The stock
of Capt. VALLEY, tobacconist and R. N.
McEwen, dry goods, were damaged by
water and by being removed. The total
loss was estimated to us at about SIS, 600.
Fears are entertained that the Press and
Herald would not be out this morning.
We sympathise with the sufferers, but
are glad the fire was no worse.

PROFITS OF GRAPES,

As the subject of grape growing is
claiming the attention Of some of the
best thinking men of the State, and one
in which the whole body of farmers are
beginning to feel decided interest, we
propose, as often as possible, to give the
experience of others as to the best methods
of culture, as well as the profits arising
from the products of the vine. The fol-
lowing from a correspondent of the
Rock River Farmer, is of great interest.
The reader will perceive that he counts
nothing for sale of slips or young vines,
which is source of as great profit as
the grapes themselves. He says:
l have twenty acres under my
charge, of which there were S,4O0 vine .
in bearing, mostly Concord, Norton and
Hartford. From these s, 400 vines l
gathered and shipped to St. Louis and w.
rious other places fifty tons of grapes, and
good many thousand pounds went 10
waste by the birds and by gathering. l
made the first shipment of Hartfords on
the 1st of August. Could have shipped q
few pounds the 25th of July. To gather
this crop, kept employed five hands,
four IS pickers and one teamster. used
the three-drawer crate, that would hold
from ninety to one hundred pounds of
grapes. Had stands made to slip one of
| these drawers in, to carry in gathering.
Each man could take one of these stands,
put in his drawer, and take q row of
vines, and after filling his drawer would
take it on his shoulder and bring it to the
packing shed, leaving his stand where he
left off picking. This saves much time
in looking for the place where you left off
and also keeps the bottom of the drawer
clean, as one has to go on the top of the
other, i'll the crates for shipping. One
man would pick from five to nine crates
FER day, and bring them TO the shed. l
have three miles to haul them to the sta
ton. Would make three or four loads
per day. Would take 1000 pounds to
the load. Now for the cost of running
this vineyard, with the very best cultiva-
ton:
A vineyardist for one year............ 800
One man, eight months, $50 per
month. ............................... $40
Tesmster, two months, $50 per
month............ ............ ............ 40
Three picker, by the dsy............... 100
Cost of team, wear and tear.......... 100
Commission on sales.................... 700
Total expenses.........................SI,s $50
Sold fifty tons of grapes at Z cents
per pound, amounts to..............$7,0 900
Now taking ont the expense. .........$1, $50
Leaves a profit of.....................S5,1 20
If any one has done better than this
with the same number of bearing vines
this year, l would like to hear from him.
Next year / shall have between 5000
and II, 900 vines in bearing; and if we
have a favorable season, l shall have at
least one hundred tons of grapes.
We hope to see one thousand acres, in
Middle Tennessee, planted in grapes the
following fall, md continued increase
in the number each succeeding fall and
spring, until all our, waste places may
rejoice in the daintiest and most whole
some, and most profitable of all fruits.
