The announcement comes from London
that arrangements have been made by AS
slstant Secretary Richardson to dispose of
the balance of the new four per cent. loan.
The whole matter is to be taken in hand
by the London house of Jay Cook & Co, !
As matter Of fact, however, our hard
working Governor has, with his other null
hilarious duties, been arranging with the
.c,llear-headed, persistent Secretary of the
Treasury all the minute details of this
great undertaking. These details were
completed only three days ago and tele-
graphed to London, where the necessary
arrangements were concluded by Mr.. Rich
ardson.
The firm of Jay Cooke agree to purchase
$40, 0OO, 900 at once, and pay the cash, and
then to dispose of specified amount each
month till all are taken. National banks
will have reasonable opportunity to pur-
chase so much as they may desire in ex-
change for iive-twenties. The balance is
all to be provided for.
Thus again this great firm comes to the
aid of the government just at the right time
and in the right way Washington CAyons-

The New York Tribune says: 'sThus
far, the evidence elected by the Board of
Steamboat Inspectors has determined that
the boiler OF the ferry-boat Westfeld was
cracked, and that it wasn't cracked !: that
the iron was good, and that it was yerv
bad ). that the water was low, and that t
wasn't low that the engineer was neglect
ing his duty, and that he was giving usual
and sufficient attention to his boiler /; that
the initial fracture at the moment of explo-
sion occurred at point opposite the lower
range of flues, on the port side, and that
It was at pointnear the 'man-hole' on TOP
that the steam was escaping through the
saiety-valye, and that it wasn't; that gas
did it, and that 'gas' didn't. On the other
hand, there has been an absolute unaninity
on the point that the explosion was caused
by 'oyer-pressure.' That phrase. in this
case, means anything or nothing. To us It
looks like an ample admission that all these
experts had failed TO discover why the boil
er exploded"

SPECIAL NOTICES.
IT III IL "P AIN KILL + r.. F."

The PAIN KILLER - may justly be styled
the great medicine of the world for there is no
region of the globe into which it has not found
its way, anu been largely used and highly priced
Moreover, there is no cline to which IL has not
proved TO be well adapted for the cure of a con
siderable variety Of diseases. 1t is a speedy and
safe remedy for burns, scalds, cuts, bruises,
wounds and various other injuries, as well as for
dysentery, diarrhoa and bowel complaints gene
rally. 1t is admirably suited for every race of
men on the face of the globe
It's a very significant fact, that notwithstand-
ing the long period of years that the "PAIN
KILLER has been before the world, il has
never lost one whit of its popularity but, on the
contrary, the call for it has steadily increased
from its first discovery, and at no previous time
has the demand for it been so great, or the guam
tity made been so large, as it is to-day
Another significant fact is, that nowhere has
the " PAIN KILLER" ever been in higher re-
pnte, or been more generally used by families
and individuals, than it has been here at home,
where it was first discovered and introduced
That the "PAIN KILLER will continue to
be, what we have styled it, THE GREAT MEDICINE
OF THE WORLD, there cannot be the shadow of a
Adpertiser. iy16-lmd&w

What a Half Acre VIII Do.

A shoe maker over in Jersey bought a
half acre lot. He was fond of fruit and
read the papers. The soil was wet clay,
and he selected fruit to the climate. He
built house and put his land in condi-
ton to produce fruit. He had no ma
nure but the droppings of street cattle.
In his leisure, he brought from the woods
bark, rotten wood, moss, and leaf mould,
which he mixed with the soil three feet
deep.
This was done by degrees, and as fast
as the ground was prepared he planted
fruit. He became so interested and sue
cessful, that he retired from his cobbler's
bench. l was his neighbor, and knew
him intimately. His half acre supported
himself and wife OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in
elegance. She had no servant, and had
plenty of time to cultivate flowers.
Strangers enquired about their beauti-
full home. Isabella grapes and common
currants formed the bulk of his fruit.
With better selection his income would
have been larger Others had the same
success on small pieces of ground. One
| knew, who supported his family on an
acre. Half was in grapes, the crop OF
which in one season, sold for $500, and
had no bills to pay. If contraction
brings success, let us know it,and practice
it. DR.. Peak, IN Neao York Club.

Spanish MerinOs in the South.

Mr.. Richard Peters Of Atlanta, Ca,
writes to the Rural Carolinian that, in the
year 1S47, he purchased farm in Gordon
county, in order to try sheep raising in
connection with other stock. He OBJ
tanned flock of one hundred selected
native ewes. They proved to be unprof-
table, subject to disease, and not calcu-
lated for keeping in large focks. He
disposed of them after three years tri-
al, and purchased, at high prices speci-
mems of the improved English breeds,
including the Cotswolds, Leicesters, new
Oxfordshires and South Downs. He
bred them pure, and crossed them with
the native sheep. The result was neither
profitable nor satisfactory. They ap-
peared to thrive well for year or two !;
then they gradually became unhealthy,
more especially during the summer
months.
In the year 1850 he purchased flock
of pure bred Spanish Merinos, and from
that day to this he has been remarkably
successful. His flock has increased to
upward of three hundred head, and he
desires to increase it to a thousand head.
They have continued healthy, are easily
managed, and yield annually an average
of seven to eight pounds ofwool per head.
Until he adopted the Merinos, he could
seldom find in his flock a sheep fat enough
for mutton. In April last he sold to the
butchers in Atlanta lot Of CRASHED tive
years old wethers, pronounced to be the
best mutton brought to the city during
the season. He obtained for them So.
SO per head after being sheared.
The Spanish Merino and the native
sheep has been tried in the Southern
States, and all agree as to the superiority
of the half bloods, as compared with the
native sheep, both in the quantity and
quality of the fleece, and in their size,
vigor, and rapidity of growth.

for the family forage for the stock, and
money for the bank, are not the only
things worth striving for. We need hap
piness as well. Bat ifa portion of this
time be given to a wide-awake farmers
club, ideas will be gained practical knowl-
edge acquired, which in time will bring
about results far in excess of those which
will be realized by the farmer who does
not improve these opportunities.
THE EXERCISES OF THE CLUB
Should be varied to suit the tastes Of diff
ferent members. Discussions upon IA
miliar farm topics should generally be
held each evening, and every member
should take part in them. Do not depend
upon professional takers, who may know
little of the subject about which they are
talking, but give your own experience
and your opinions drawn therelrom, as you
would talk them to neighbor sitting by
your own 6reside. Practical knowledge
will thus be impaired, which all should
seek for. Essays upon the subjects which are
to be considered, may be prepared and
read by those who have taste for put
ting their thoughts in writing 1t is a
good practice to assign topics six months
or year before hand, so that those who
are to prepare essays may have ample
time to "rcad up their subject, or to ex-
pertinent upon it on their farms. In this
way almost every member can, if he will,
prepare valuable paper. To Gil up any
spare time, extracts from books or papers,
which are not accessible to all, may be
read, and the ideas or recommendations
discussed.-Z. A. GILBERT, Androscoggin

THE FooT AND Mourn DIsEAsE.-We
hear of the appearance of this disease in
various parts of Massachusetts, but have
no intelligence of any action by the COM
mittee, Of which Mr.. Loring is chairman,
appointed by the Board of Agriculture
TO confer with the authorities Of the State
in relation to the adoption of measures to
prevent the spread of the disease. Mr..
A. Scott, of North Blackstone, says in
the Patriot, there are cases which cannot
be accounted for otherwise than by sup
posing that it was propagated by contag-
ion through the air. In an article in the
Maine Farmer, by s. L. Goodale, Esq,
fumigation of the stable by burning bits
of birthstone on live Goals in suitable
vessel, is recommended as a preventive.
Care and judgment, however, should be
exercised in its use. An ounce or two is
enough to burn at once fer a barn of
from six to twelve or twenty cattle, and
the operation should be repeated regu-
larly twice day. The fumes should
pervade all parts Of the room equally.
and rot be stronger than the attendant
can bear with moderate discomfort.
