Is Guano a Lasting Manure.


The wheat lands of Delaware are a
striking instance OF such injury. Boz
fore the use Of guano, the produce was
small but sure. Tho early crops from
the use of guano were very large. They
soon dwindled TO very low point, and
hnally not even liberal nnanuring with
guano would enable these lands to pro-
duce SO much as they had done before
gusno was known. Had the gwano ex-
hausted the land By no msans; the
wheat mad done the mischief The GU
aho had enHbied the crop to take more
mineral matter from, the soil than, with
Out the guano, would have been possi-
bic; and the demand ofthe increased
crop for mineral, food was much in ex-
cess of the quantity contained in the ma
nure. This excess was taken from the
soil, deposited in the grain, and sold
away When the large crops had COM
pletely exhausted the available food in
tho soil, the guano produced only .o
much crop an its own mineral mattera
supplied not enough to nav the cost of
cultivation. The land was exhaustion.

defeat tho whole object contemplated

A TERRIBLE MIsTAKE.-In Lee Co.,
Va, a man ramed Rafer had large and
ferocious dog, which some young man
of the neighborhood determined to kill.
He accordingly entered the promises and
shot the dog, which was chained close to
the door Of tho house. Mr.. Rafer, hear
ing the report of the pistol, SO near at
hand, naturally concluded that burglars
were about the building and that the
| pistol had So4r0 off accidentally, as one
of them was making his entrance. lie
arose, seized an axe, and quietly began
to examine about the premises in the
dark. Pretty soon he found himself near
somebody, and struck the intruder with
all his force. A terrible scream followed
and he discovered that he had struck the
axe into the face and shoulder of his
wife, whom he had left in bed, but who
had got up to look out of the window to
see if she could catch any glimpse of the
burglars. The probabilities are that the
injury will prove fatal.

THE TENNESSEE.

No news from the Tennessee. Twen-
ty-six days ego she left New York, and
since that times all is blank as to her
fate, aHd those ON board. That there are
grounds for anxiety, if not alarm, none
will question. The gloomy view has al
so been rendered murky, by the recent
declaration of General Banks, on the
floor of the House, that he had heard on
gineers, say they would not trust their
lives iii the Tennessee, and that it was
almost certain destruction for her to
venture to sea. If such isactually the
case there is great cause for alarm as to
the result Of her voyage. But while
there is door leading to hope for the
best, let the view be taken from that po-
sition. AT rough estimate, the distance
from New York to Domingo may be set
down at eighteen hunJred miles; and in
good weather, with no accident, ought
to be accomplished in from ten to twelve
days. But if, as it is now announced
the Tennessee was ordered to go direct
TO Samana bay, this might possibly add
two hundred miles to the voyage; and
it must also be remembered that since
she left, the elements along the Atlantic
cost have been anything but favorable
for quick passage. Besides this, there
are no means Of communication between
Samana and Havana, except by a vessel
dispatched for that special purpose, and
sach a vessel might not have been in
port when the Tennessee arrived at her
destination. There is hope in all these
suggestions, and they will tighten many
a heavy and desponding heart. News,
good news, from the Tennessee, would
be as welcome now as ''land hor' to the
ocean-tired mariRer.-Age.
