The Clover Plant.

A correspondent says: Our farmers
seem to be slow in acknowledging the
value Of the clover plant as a renovatiDg
crop, or in making any extended use
of it for this purpose. The experiments
of DR.. Voelcker clearly proves that there
is fully three times as much nitrogen in
a crop of clover as in the average produce
Of the grain and straw of wheat per acre ;
and there remains in the soil, after the
removal of a crop of clover. great weight
of roots, that ON decomposing furnish in
an available form large amount of plant
food which the plant has collected large
ly from sources that were inaccessible to
the finer rootlets Of wheat plant. More
over, the roots of clover penetrate deeply
into the subsoil, and on deeaying leave it
loose and open, fitted for the finer tendris
of succeeding crops to run down after
moisture in timeiof drouth, and for the
.nourishment which the decaying roots
furnish. ..'.
OF course the benifcial effects of grow
lng clover are much more observable
after two years growth of the crop. DR..
Voelcker also ascertained that the clover
roots were stronger and more numerous
and that more leaves fall on the ground
when clover is grown for seed than when
1t is mown for hay consequently more
nitrogen is left after cloverseed than after
hay which accounts for wheat Welding
better crop after clover seed than after
hay. I<. .a
In some States, New York for instance.
the value of the clover crop has for many
years been understood and in some
sections it would be necessary to learn
everything anew in regard to cultivating
the land, SO dependent are the farmers
upon it. Land devoted to this crop is
top dressed with plaster at the rate of
about one bushol per acre, each spring
after the ground is settled 'aeT
We are satisfied the plant affords the
surest, easiest and most economical means
Of restoring fertility to our worn-out
fields, and of rendering the sub-soil per-
meble to roots Of succeeding crops, that
is embraced in the economy of agricul-
ture, and hope our farmers will endeavor
to get into the way of making great ac-
count Of it. . .araI...,... ..

How TO Cook Beefsteak.

But few people now adhere to the old
and barbarousmethod of frying beefsteak
to crisp. The right way is to have
ready, first, the heated platter and the
butter, pepper, and salt. The steak is
placed on gridiron, over bed Of hot
Goals, and turned with EniUeS as fast as
possible, 50 that the juice may be retain
ed in the meat As soon as donclit
should be put on the platter, seasoned
highly, and served Immediately. Beef
steak is spoiled by squeezing. =

Protection Against Fire.

There is very simple process by which
muslins used for ladies' and children
dresses can be prevented from catching
fire. Dissolve asmall piece of alum in
the water in which muslins are rinsed
When dry, if light be put to them, they
will shoulder slowly away, but win not
break out in blaze. And this, so far
from being injurious to muslin, improves
its appearance greatly. tftr

Rev. N. MeFetridge, of this city,

Geo. X. Andsr of Titusville as del

comes down on this instruction like a

Creary as political shyster, and of

An exchange has the following
truthful remarks: The best way to
build up a town is for every business
man in the place to advertise his busi-
ness in the columns of the local paper,
and thus present an array of business
houses on the street. 1t draws trade
to town, draws produce to the town,
draws money to the town. If man
wants to buy anything, he goes where
he sees the most men trying to sell that
article. If he wants to sell anything,
he goes where the most men are buy
ing. If man wants to buy groceries
or sell produce, he goes to the business
man that advertises, for he knows
where to find him and what he has to
sell.

We clip the following items from
Titusville Herald:
Edward Dean, laboring man, who
lives on Plum alley, was yesterday ar
rested by officer Miller, for bruially
maltreating his infant child, a girl
about three years of age. 1t appears
that Dean was very drunk and assault
ed the child. The women in the neigh
borhood screamed for help, and the
officer happening to pass that way,
forced the door open and arrested him.
The child was saturated with blood.
The prisoner was conveyed to the
lock-up,and will have hearing to day.
A trial was made at the Driving
Park yesterday, for the purpose Of
testing the speed of Castle Bros. bay
colt. The animal is five years old,
fourteen hands high, with long sweep
ing tail, and black points all round.
he is an excellent stopper, but has
never been trained. The half mile
track was made in 1:20, and the last
quarter in 284 seconds. He was named
on the spot E. w. Ames. The animal
bids fair to be fast trotter, and it is
predicted that some of his local com.
petitors on the turf this season will
have to take back seats.
About four o'clock yesterday after
noon two children, one about six years
of age, and the other year and hall
old, were playing near the race, direct.
ly in the rear of the Franklin street
mill. The Oldest one, little girl, fell
into the water, and the younger imme.
diately commenced to scream, which
attracted the attention of a carpenter
named Thomas Welch, working in the
vicinity. He arrived there Just in
time to pull the child from the water
before it sank. Both children belong.
ed to Mr.. VIM. McMullen, who resides
in the same building occupied by Jus.
tice Strouse, Oh Franklin street. The
race should be fenced in.

The Prize Fight.

The parties, Mace and Coburn. met
at Long Point, Canada, on last Thurs
day for the purpose of comforting and
receiving a head. Mace toed the
scratch, and Coburn lodged around,
as though he was afraid of getting
hurt. This game was kept up an
hour and a quarter, without blow be-
ing struck, when one of Her Majesty's
officers SHE'D his castor into the ring,
and followed in person, read the riot
act, commanded a departure of the
combatants and crowd, got his pockets
picked, and broke up the fight. 1t was
a fizzle. Contrary to the hopes of the
public, neither of the combatants were
killed, not even crippled. Their deaths
had been looked forward to with anx-
iety. They met after the retreat, at
the Reed House, in Erie, and made
arrangements to meet for another trial,
at Kansas City, on the I'd of June.
This is supposed to be the virtual end
Of the affair, but there may possibly
be chance of their meeting, and dy.
ing for the good of their country.
