The extraordinary increase tina. has taken
place in the sale Of Hostetter's Stomach BitteEs

No amount of puffery can lift inferior articles

Old worn out rails have OF late years
given rise to trade, of the magnitude and
Importance of which but few not intere s'ed
in it have any idea. New York and Phil
adelphia are annually i'll receipt Of m
mense shipments, principally from Eng
land. although OccaHional cargOes are also
received from continental pors. and
few from the West India Islands aud South
America; and the demand from the roll
ling mills and iron foundries for old rails
has recently increased this trade to such
an extent that the demand is far In
advance of the supply, and sales
are made almost Altogether to ar
rive, and on gold basis entirely.
The advantages possessed by this form of
iron for entering into new manufactures
are several, among which are convenience
of form and shape for piliDg and heating,
superiority and com pactneSs OF the metal,
from the constant pressure of locomotives
and trains to which it has been bjected,
and the facility for working it with new
iron with less trouble and fewer manipu-
latiors than any other forms OF old iron.
Enormous quantities of old rails are
brought from across the Atlantic by YES
sells, and thence by railroad over the ALE
ghanies to the mills of Ptttsburg and
Johnstown, where, phmnix-like they arise
from their ashes and again assume the as
poet and usefulness of former days. Old
rails are also largely patroDlzed by the
makers of railroad spikes aud bolts, and
by the manufacturers of fishplates aud
bars, on account Of toughness and super
ior quality Of this metal.

The Pee Dee Herald learns from gen
tleman from Stanley that while
the Rev. W. J. Leard was addressing
large audience in the Methodist Church,
at AIbemarle, on Thursday. the 31st ult.,
panic was created among the congrega-
ton by the breaking of a bench in the
gallery, which was mistaken for the falling
of the building; every available means of
exit was at once resorted to. and in the
confusion which ensued one lady, Mrs.
Freeman, had her arm broken, and several
other persons were severely bruised.
The Sentinel says: Sheriff Hughes, of
Orange, arrived in our city at 2 O'Clock
q. m. yesterday. at 10 a. m. he had paid
into the State Treasury 81 200 collected
of the people of Orange last week. At II
meridian he was riding Billy Smiths iron
horse on his return to Orange. There is
nothing like promptnes, in public officers.
Orange never had but one Radical Sheriff
and he, SO far from paying promptly, did
not pay at all.
The Raleigh Sentinel is responsible for
the following Considerable excitement
prevails in locality on Neuss river, at
what seems to be sea serpent which has
made its way no from the Atlantic. It
has been seen by several very reliable gen

its jaws, having seized ihem when at the
water edge drinking. Various attempts
to capture this serpent have proved fruit
less should they succeed he will be on

Salt for Oats.

At meeting of the Farmers Institute
of Eastern Pennsylvania recently, P, MGR
r1s exhibited sample of oats grown by
81. Ingersoll, of the Philadelphia Society
for Promoting Agriculture. 1t was of ex-
traordinary size and early maturity, pro
duced by the application of six bushels OF
salt to the acre. The stalks were much
larger than usually seen, the leaves broad
er. and in every way superior TO other
samples exhibited. Mr.. Ingersoll stated
that the advanced condition of his oats, a.
we'll as the unusual size of the stalks, was
owing TO the fact that he had sowed broad
cast upon the field six bushels of salt to
the acre after sowing the oats. A large
quantity of salt could bs used. but never
greater than forty bushels. Salt, to be eff
fcacious on oats, wheat or cora, ST onld
be Iut on sandy soil, and not on stiff clay
lands. Mr.. Ingersoll had been using salt
for a number of years. and found that not
only the grain crops were benefited, but
the after crops, particular y clover.
