JOSEPH McMURRAN, Secy.

TnE SrAUNroN (VA0 HoMcIDE.-An
examination was held at Staunton, Va,
on the 23d, into the shooting OF ID. l.
Clinebell by c. Carson The witnesses
examined for the Commonwealth were
DR. Gillian, David Zimmerman, Charles
Fish, (who accompanied Carson to the
croquct ground) John Wilson Palmer,
Stewart Mcclure, Misses Smith, Lou
Graham, Rose Brand and Hutchinson.
Miss Graham stated that she was III the
company Of Carson when Clinebell came
riding up and said to Carson that he
wanted settlement. She walked off, and
in a few seconds heard the report of a
pistol-Shot. Carson overlook her and
said that he had shot Clinebell in self
defence. The evidence throughout
showed that an enmity existed between
Carson and Clinebell, and that they had
two fights previously. The sympathy
of the public here is divided, though
largely in favor of Carson, The ladies
were much excited when they appeared
on the witness stand. Both families
are highly respectable.

TERRIBLE CASE OF GLANDERs.-One
of the most terrible cases of CHAMBERS in
human being of which we have ever
heard occurred in the vicinity of Viewer
ton week or two since, the particulars
of which have been furnished us by Col.
Amey, the excellent caterer at Viewer
ton Junction. \ man named Martin,
if we recolect Alright, living near the
mountain, about week before his
friehtful death, whilst attending to n
horse accidently got some of the virus
oozing from the nose ormouth OF a CLAN
dered horse, into cut upon one OF his
thumbs, and a short time thereafter was
taken with frightful spasmS, succeeded
by fearful sickness and prostration.
Medical assistance was obtained, and al
though every reasonable attention was
ciyen the man, Notwithstanding the re-
mort that he was deserted by his neigh
bors,) he died in the most horrible man
ner some six or seven days afterwards.
His body became mass OF ulcers and
at the time of dissolution the flesh liter
ally fell in pieces from the bones. Mr..
Jesse Moore had the remains inferred
in a cemetery near Harpers Ferry.
Chambers is exceedingly rare in hui
man being, and the case prior to the
one above, that we have seen recorded,
occurred to lady in New York. She
was passing to her carriage from the
Opera and a glandered horse threw some
OF the virus from his mouth against the
mucous membrane of her lips, when she
was shortly afterwards taken with the
worst symptoms of CHAMBERS, and died in
the most frightful manner.-Hogers-

Uses of Ashes.

DRY, clean wood ashes are richly worth
twenty five cents q bushel, we think, to
any farmer who wants more manure. You
can scarcely use them on any crop without
very sinsible results A handful thrown
around the corn plants at the first hoeing
will greatly increase their growth, and
give them a highly dark green color.
Scattered in the hill before the potato is
covered, or about the hill Just before hoe
ing, will have similar results Sown broad
cast on the moving fields at the rate of as
small an amount as five bushels to the
acre, will greatly increase the growth and
color of the crop. Besides this, their ben
eficial results will continue for several
years in succession. Strewed over young
cabbage plants, squashes, melons, or any
of the garden vegetables, such as toma-
toes, beets, onions, turnips or carrots, wood
ashes not only tend 10 disturb the inse cts
that infest the plants, but has a decided
influence on their growth and quality. All
the ashes made on the farm should be col
lected with care, kept dry and applied to
the crops Nothing could be better for
the young orchard. Spreading ashes broad
cast o"er the surface would be more USE
full than as a mulch for the trees. The
roots will soon fiud it if spread. 1t is bet
ter to use moderate quantity annually,
than to apply large amount at one time.
Ashes may be safely used in composts
of loan, muck, straw, or dry fibrous ma
teriais; they would tend to reduce them.
If in composts, where the droppings OF
cattle are a portion of the material, the
sshes should be applied Immediately be
fore the compost is to be used-and the
compost be slightly covered by the soil
The easiest and best way, however, is tc
apply ashes in dry state and unmixed--

Making the Root Crop a CertaiRty.

WE raise our root crops on land culti-
waited too shallow. This is a great, gen.
eral, a crying evil. There wants to be
deep tillage, the subsoil plow used thor
oughly, an implement used too little now
a-days, and when used, not sufficiently.
Fine the land for twenty inches CT more.
If all this depth is mellow yet compact
somewhat, draining itself readily, yet ad-
mitting the air, and if the crop is put out
early-es early as possible-so as to get
the start of the prospective drought OF
midsummer; If weeds are kept out and the
soil in good motion, stirring it well and
often if, withal, the land is rich snd not too
direct in the sun-not on south hillside,
but north rather-if ell these things are
Tigidly seen to, there will not, there can
not be failure of q good crop. E severe
drought will not prevent it, nor a rainy
season; the cool fall will perfect what the
summer advanced. The great depth of
soil is good for the moisture, where the
roots have chance to penetrate and luxu-
rate even with raging sun overhead.
But the land wants to be fertile, and If the
manure is put down it will not hurt it for
that crop; the roots will find it, and the
work will 60 on with vigor. The manure
should be spread and permitted to lie for
some time, for weeks, better for months.
The soil Immediately below will then have
received much of its strength, and when it
goes under, soil and manure are beth rich,
and will form good bed for the roots.
The best success l ever sew was a field
treated in this way, horse manure being
turned down. The soil was deep; there
was a great drought, but in the fall It push
ed forward the manure then drove, aided
by the rains. 1t was a crop of carrots. 1t
is the depth of cultivation and tie manure
that have a wonderful yirture, the very
things that are neglected. We use ma
nure, but not enough, not mixed with the
soil sufficiently, through its juices first and
then by the plow. We like sod for roots;
but let it be rotted and made mellow by
after plo = ing and cultivsting. This last
has been among our best experiences.
We can then secure root crop with
certainty Why not do it? Why run
risks? We know what they arei IN too
many cases they are loss, and this no one
