the grasses are grown must either
have it naturally or it must be ar
tifcally supplied in the form ofstone
lime, oyster shell lime, or mari.
2d-Al improvements of lands
must look TO lime as its basis. 81
3d-I1ands which have long been
in culture viii be benefited by ap-
plication in the form of bone dust,
guano, native phosphate of lime,
lcomposts of fish, ashes, or I'm oyster,
she'll lime or mari, if needs lining
also. srce ru lai ua-L ~ y
4th-No land can be preserved in
a high state of fertility, unless the
clover and the grasses are cultivated
in the course of rotation.
5th-M0uld is indispensable in
every soil, and q healthy supply can
alone be preserved through the cnl-
tivation of clover and the grasses,
the turning in of green crops, or by
the application of composts rich in
the elements of mould. t 9.
6th-All highly Concentrated AMI
NAL manures are increased in value
and the benefit prolonged, by ad-
mixture of plaster or pulveFized
charcoal. - ~ .e .

proving the health of the neighbOr-
hood. .oi al-d '
14th-To manure or lime wet
lands is TO throw manure, lime and
labor away.
15th-Shallow ploughing operates
TO impoveTish the soil, while de-

AUTUMN LEAVES.

Like the half smothered waiiings
OF mOurners for the dead;
Or. like some wandering spirit,

Ger all its bright days wsstetl--
Mourn the sad, autumn leaves.
Like them our lives are changing;
Like them, 7e too, must fade,
When pass our few brief seasons.
OF sunshine and OF shade;
And though perhaps, our passing,
some home eur heart beTeaves.
We're soon no more remembered
Than withered autum leaves.
Oh. moaning leaves Of Autumni
As sad were early life.
Were there DO future
Undimmed by grief aud strife,
Where heartstrings are uRbrokeu.
And no sad spirit grieyes-
Where are faded flowers,
Or withered Autumn leaves.

a AMADMAN'S CRUISE ON A LOG.-
There is no knowing what shape a
mans insanity may take. At COun-
ell Bluffs, Iowa, last week, as a
steamer was crossing the river, some
one on board described man Hoat-
ing down the river on a log. A boat
was lowered and sent after him The
occupant of the log declined to
leave his strange craft, but the crew
from the Irene concluding from his
actions that there was something
wrong with him, removed him by
force and conveyed him to Omaha.
To inquiries as to how he came to
be thus adrift upon the turbid wa
ters of the raging Missouri, he re-
piled that he was pursued by two
thousand armed men up in Dakota
Territory, and that he escaped from
them by jumping into the river at
Fort Randall. After swimming a
short distance he succeeded in
mounting this tree, and had fioated
| from thence-sOme three hundred
miles-on the kind old log without
once rolling of. His hands and feet
were shriveled and water-soaked-
| indubitable evidence that he had
sailed on his own queer craft for a
! long time but that he had navigated
| the tortuous Missouri in this man.
ner from Fort Randall was not gen
orally believed. He was examined
by the proper authorities of Omaha
pronounced insane, and sent to tho
asylum.

It's Heaven seat token eaTthward flung
It rested Ger their sacred tent
And in their camp the host abode;

And they It's desert pathway trode.
They saw it rest, they saw it rise,
The signal Of JehOyah's VIII;
They watched it with unfailing eyes
And struck their tents, or waited still
Now in eolumned shade or fame,
Our steps, o God, thy Glory leads;
But sigus divine Thy VIII proctaim,-
Thy banner still thy church preeedes.
Thy light is on our pathway shed,
Thy counsel on our hearts impressed, =
And by thy guiding spirit led,
Thy watching host move on, or rest.

A New CONNECTION Propo.ed.

Ever alive to all that interests our
own people, and willing now, as in
the past, to labor for the building
up of the material prosperity of
jackson, we copy from the Nash
vile Banner of late date the follow
ing interesting article, touching the
early completion of a through road
from Cincinnati to this city. After
awhile it will begin to creep through
the wool of even the old fogies of
Jackson, that it is a place of no
mean Importance now, and that it is
daily attracting the attention of the
live, cnterprising men of other To-
calities, and that in point of fact, it
is destined in an incredibly short
period to become the Atlanta of the
West. There is no inland city in
the South or West, which possesses
the advantages which we do, by rea-
son of our railroad connections in
every direction; and when we get
our Memphis road, our Jackson and
Tennessee River road, and the ex-
tension of the Mississippi Central
North, and of the Northwestern
road, West, from Huntingdon to
this city, we shall be a railroad Gen.

CINcINNATI's CHANCE,
Her Best outlet 10 Nashville ana
the NOrthsyUest.


On the 25th of last month a COM
pany was organized at Hopkinsville,
XIV, for the construction of what is
to be known as the Kentucky and
Tennessee Road. The following
gentlemen were elected Directors:
NJ. d. Davie, E. H. Hopper, j. W.
Fraser, @. NJ. Quarles and a. IL.
Clark. At a subsequent meeting of
the Directors, NJ. ID. Davie, ESQ,
was elected President of the Board,
Stephen E. Trice, Treasurer, and a.
III. CLARK, Secretary. This perfected
the organization of the company.
The Hopkinsville papers assert
that Mr.. Davie, President of the
road, is live, energetic, business
man-in every way qualified for the
position to which he has been called
and, if properly seconded, will
successfully complete the work un-
dertaken.

vile, where it connects with the
Evansville, Henderson and Nash
vile Road, and will run south and
southwest until it forms a connection
with the Mississippi Central, eX-
tending north from Jackson in this
State.
OF the prospects of the road, the
Evansville Journal, of yesterday,
says:
s'By the completion of this road
our business men will have very
nearly an air line railroad connee-
tion with Memphis, New Orleans,
Mobile, and all intermediate points

Good Manners.


YonHg folks should be mannerIy.
How TO be so is the question. Many
a good girl and boy feel that they
can't behave 10 suit themselves in
the presence of company. They
feel timfd, bashful and self-distTust-
ful the moment they are addressed
BY a stranger or appear in company.
There is but one way to get over
this feeling and acquire easy and
graceful manners that is, TO do the
best they can all the time at home,
as well as abroad. Good manner
are not learned by arbitrary teach
ing so much as aquired by habit
They grow upon us by use. We
must be courteous, agreeable, civil,
kind, gentlemanly ana wOmanIy at
home, and then il will become a
kind of second nature to be so eve
rywhere. A coarse, rough manner
az home begets bit of rOughness
which we cannot Law off if we try
when we go among strangers. The
most agreeable people we have yer
known in company are those who
are perfectly agreeable at home
Home is the school for all good
things, especially for good manners.
The rich odors so grateful to the
I senses, which float in our atmos-
phere, are tiny atoms escaping from
! the decdying petals of the rose or lilly
which blossoms at our feet. Meet
eInblems are these odOrs-hOating

Case OF Collector Robb.
1t was charged sometime since
that Col. Robb, Collector of Gus
toms at Savannah, was defaulter to
the government in heavy amount
The charges were partially investi-
gated at the time, with the result of
there being some changes made
among subordinates, but the Col
lectOr managed to escape ensure or
dismissal. These old charges have
been renewed, with many addition
al items on the complaint, by some
prominent citizens of Georgia, who
are now here endeavoring to have
Robb removed. Robb was the Colo
mel of an Illinois volunteer regi-
ment, and originally obtained his
position through the influence of
Senator Yates, which was given ra-
ther for a consideration of anything
but with reference to the moral re-
putation of the ex-senator. The
new charges of corruption are so ex-
plicit that it is not believed the adj
will continue Robb in
his present position, and an intima-
ton has been given to that effct by
