He, full of wrath at my supposed ig-
norance, bounced upon me like "lhe
hon upon the lamb and said, if the
public believed such doctrine, the coun
try would be ruined, and Immediately
advised all farmers to put an expensive
covering upon their manure heaps to
keep the ammonia confined there.
This example was followed throughout
much of England. and every man was
anxious to save the ammonia who un-
derstood the meaning of the word. Lei
beg had ordered it, and it must be so.
About three years afterward Leibig's
opinion changed. The mystery of such
heavy crops from top-dressing, where
all the ammonia escaped, was puzzle
to him, and by some scientific knowl
edge of his own, he found out that
ammonia was not the fertilizer he had
represented it to be, and he wrote an
apology to the Mark Lane Express for
his abrupt contradictions to me.
The covering of manure-heaps is now
dispensed with, and ammonia is al
lowed free access in the air after it has
done its duty in decaying the compost
hoav

Dressing

Mr. w. II. Sotham, OF Detroit, IN no
ticing the operations of Mr. VIM. Smith,
on his farm IN Wayne county, Michigan,
where ten miles of cedar posts are built
and fifteen miles of tile drain laid down,
SAYS:
L was much gratified to find that my
theory and practice were well sustained
on this farm Mr.. Smith showed me a
field of grass, partly cut and partly I'M
cut, about half of which was dressed
with barnyard manure and its liquors !;
the other was left to its own culture.
The half dressed, Mr. Smith estimated
at three tons per acre, while that not
dressed cut but little over ton-both
being in a similar state previously.
This was guesswork, but the contrast
was truly great. -.
You remember that the noted Lelblg
considered ammonia almost the only
fertilizer in manure. My experience
taught me differently [ have long con-
sidered ammonia a decaying agent, and
that it never enters the plant at all ex-
cept to destroy it, | admit, that the
more you can get of it into the soil, the
more Won release the fertilizers that are
in it, and when you put it III, III the
shape of guano and other artiticials OF
the same nature, they rob the soil OF its
fertility to support the crop, leaving 1t
sterile for the following one, and If SUCH
a system is long pursued, farewell TO
good farming.
Some fifteen years ago, letter OF
mine appeared in the Mark Lane Elk
press, published in London-a paper,
| suppose, which has greater and
wider circulation than any other agri-
cultural paper in the world. 1t was CO.
pied into several agricultural papers IN
this country and in England-the doc
trina being 50 different from that pre-
giollslv tanght by Leibeg.

Astonishing Skating Feat.

On the % inst. three Newburghers,
name respectively Charles f. and
George June and Gilbert Carpenter,
skated from Newburgh to Albany, a
distance of 100 miles, in seven hours
and five minutes skating time. From
Newburgh to Poughkeepsie, distance
sixteen miles, they found the ice very
rough, and were one hour and fifty
minutes skating that distance. From
Hyde Park to Catskill, forty miles, the
ice was in a SPLENDID condition for
skating and e-boating, and they made
that distance in two hours and half,
or an average of sixteen miles an hour.
Just before reaching Castleton they
found the ice to be very rough, and
were compelled to cross and recross
the river several times. On the last
mile of the one hundred Charles F.
June made "spurt," and skated it in
three minutes and one second. The
feat is believed to be without parallel
in the history Of skating on the Hud-
son.

How a Library was Formed.

The young meu's institute at North
hampton, Mass, ten years ago gave
their library of 1000 volumes for a
free republic library for the town, in
case the town would annually appro-
pirate for its increase sum of forty
cents on each of the ratable polls, or
about $1,000 year. In 1869, John
Clark, founder of the institution for
the deaf and dumb, left bequest of
$40, 200 to this library, the interest OF
which is annually to be expended for
the purchase Of books, &c. The libra
ry now contains 1000 choice volumes.
The town lately voted an appropria-
ton of S25, 600 for the erection OF a
building suitable for the library and a
hall, in case the same amount should
be raised by private subscription.
That amount has Just been secured.
Rev. Mr.. Leavitt, pastor of the First
Congregational Church, is chairman of
the library committee for purchasing
books, and has Just received $4,000
worth of standard works, some Of them
finely illustrated, which he had ordered
from Europe. The library is highly
appreciated and extensively read by the
people

Paris before the Surrender-A Mil
liOnaire In Distress.


NJ. Labourchere, whose fortune is put
at half million sterling, writing from
Paris to the London Daily News, just
before the capitulation, gave the fol
lowing pitiful account of his sorrows /:
II am looking forward with horrible
misgivings to the moment when l shall
have no more money, so that perhaps
shall be thankful for being lodged and
fed at the public expense. Ny banker
has withdrawn from Paris, and his rep
resentative declines to look ut my bill,
for friends they are all in like condi.
ton, for no one expected the siege to
last so long. AS for my hotel, need I
Observe that / do not pay my billa but
in hotels the guests may ring in vain
for food. I sleep on credit in gor-
geous bed--a pauper The room is
large. l wish it was smaller, for the
tirewood comes from trees, just cut
down, and it takes an hour to get the
logs to light; and then they only smol-
der, and emit no heat. The thermome-
ter in my grand room. with it's silken
curtains, is usually at freezing point.
Then my clothes--I am seedy, very
seedy. When l call upon friend the
porter eyes me mistrustfully. In the
streets the beggars never ask me for
aims The other day / had seine news

took one from me and paid me for it. l

had been absent from Paris before the
siege, and returned with a small bag.
It is difficult to find tailor who will
work, and even if he did l could not
send him my one suit to mend, forwhat
should wear in the meantime? Decen-
cy forbids it. Mypea- jacket is torn and
threadbare, my trousers are frayed ut
the bottom, and of many cOlors-like
Joseph's coat As for my linen, l will
only say that the washerwomen have
struck work, rs they have no fuel. 1
invested few weeks ago in a pair of
cheap boots. They are my torment.
They have split in various places, and
wear pair of gaiters-purple, like
those of respectable ecclesiastic--to
cover the rents. I bought them on the
boulevard, and at the same stall /
bought bright blue handkerchief
which was going cheap; this l wear
around my neck. My upper man re-
sembles that of a dog stealer, my lower
man that ola bishop. greatest troub-
les are my buttons. When I had more
than one change of raiment the buttons
remained in their places; now they
drop off as though l were melting
fowl. l have to pin myself together
deliberately, and whenever want to get
anything out of my pocket I am afraid
of falling to pieces. For my food, l
allowance myself, in order to exc out as
long as possible my resources. l dine
and breakfast at a. second class restau-
rant. Cat, dog, horse and rat are very
we'll as novelties, but taken habitually
they do not assimilate with my inner
man. Horse, doctors say, is heating;
/ only wish it would heat me. give
this description of my existence, as it
is that of many others. Those who
have means, and those who have none,
unless these means are in Paris, row in
the same boat"

ANOTHER THEORY DOUBTED. Charles
Dickens, it has been repeatedly stated,
was victim TO some extent of too VIC
lent and persistent exercise, and every
body who has got himself out of bed az
an untimely hour in the morning, "to
get the fresh air., or for some other
nonsense, remembers with bitter feel
ings against the one who advised him
to do so, the exhausted state which re-
suited from his experiment in the latter
part of the day The New York Lead
er has labored article to show that
exercise is not necessary to good
health, and proves it position by some
remarkable examples. "Louis Napo-
leon" it says, "was close shut mp in
Ham five years, and all the time was
'vulgarly healthy, while since he has
been confined in Williamshoe he has
had : fat time of it, and was never
better"

Sad Accident in China. MANY Lives Lost.


Hong Kong Dec. 1877 Correspondence of the New
York Times.
An accident at Canton has attracted
considerable attention among the native
population The foreign settlement of
Shameen is built on an artificial island,
separated from the mainland by canal,
across which two or three bridges were
built by the British engineers, under
whose supervision the island was filled
in. A few days since Chinese house
on the native side Of the canal caugh1
fire, and two fire engines took up their
position on one of these bridges, the
better to command the burning build
ing. The bridge was crowded with
natives working at the engines with
considerable zeal and effect, when sud
denly, without moments warning, the
trestlework gave way, and engines and
men were precipitated into the canal.
Some we're crushed beneath the engines,
and many more beneath the huge tim
bers of the structure, while others were
drowned before help could be extended
to them. 1t Ia computed that there
were from eighty to one hundred per-
sons on the bridge when 1t collapsed,
a few of whom escaped with their lives.
Eighteen corpses only have thus far
been recovered, but several yet remain
beneath the dcbris at the bottom of the
canal. The fabric having been con
structed by British engineers, advan-
tage is, of course, taken Of the fact by
the anti-foreign agitators OF the city,
and considerable ill-feeling has, III con-
sequence, been manifested, though
happily as yet, confined to words.

Throat Diseases and Coughs, and this popu-
larity is based upon real merit, which cannot
be said of many other preparations in the
market which are really but weak imltaf Ioris OF
the genuine IrocLeS.

THE first and only turkey ever cook
ed on the summit of Mount Washing
ton was taken up by the lately returned
journalistic party, and it was stuffed,
roasted, and eaten there, with the re-
mains of an excellent pudding, which
was sent mp for a Christmas present by
the wife of Professor Hitchcock, Of
Dartmouth College. Life on the noun
tain is not as monotonous as would be
supposed. The cooking of meals, TAX
ing observations, making reports, writ
ing letters, and consulting scientific
works, keep all the party busy. Two
meals day are provided breakfast from
S to 8, and dinner from to o'clock.
The bill of fare embraces corn beef,
lamb, mutton, salt pork, pilot bread,
eriddle cakes, corn starch pudding,
baked beans, canned peaches and to-
matoes, apple sauce, pickles and onions
