Gentlemen l used your "Magnum Bonun
Soluble Phosphate" on my tobacco crop, and
up to this time have seen marked difference
in its favor between it and stable manure. OF
course the tobacco is yet young, but am dis
posed to believe that the Magnum Bonum will
give entire satisfaction
In haste, remain yours, very respectfully,

ces, yesterday morning, in st. Mary's Church.

marched into the edhce to partake of their
first communion. The girls were robed in
white, with gauze wells and each bore light
ed candle After they had all entered the
main body of the church, girl at the head of
the column accidentally set her thin veil on fire
and instantaueousy sheet of fame ran half way
down the line producing the utmost consterna-
ton. Those whose wells we're on fire ran to the
main altar, where Father Mcdonald was en-
gagged in baptizing a number of adults The
baptismal water was thrown upon them. and
with the aid of several of his congregations
Father Mcdonald succeeded in subduing the
flames and restoring order-N T. Times.

Mr. Editor: Will you be kind enough to tell
me- why the farmers of Virginia don't DO some
thing in the milk trade. BY associations 1t can
be managed proftably. On all the eastern
roads it is very profitable traffic both to the
farmers as we'll as to the railroads. On the
Baltimore and Philadelphia Railroads at every
station large numbers of milk cams are always
seen and there is milk train run over that
road and one ought to be run over the u; ,,n :.
X Nj. and Washington d Ohio Roads. rms
latter road has made small commencement ID
that way. and milk comes down every day, yet
in small quantities There is no reason why

HENRY WARD BEEcHER AS A YALE Pro
FEssoR-For years the colleges have been
yearning after Henry Ward Beecher. They
have repeatedly offered him the stately dignity
of d. D., only to have the honor courteously
declined as though it we're trihe, and not Il
most audacious thing for minister to refuse to
be Doctor Of Divinity
Yale College has returned to the charge af-
ter new fashion by accepting all endowment
of $4,000 from Henry W. Sage of Brook lyn,
forthe establishment Of Lyman Beecher lee
tureshp on preaching, with the understanding
that Henry Ward Beecher is to fill the chair as
a lecturer in the Yale School of Divinity.
There is in all this an element of revolution
and progress which might we'll excite surprise
among the strcter and straiter sects of New
England theologians. Henry Ward Beccher,
standing in the shoes Of Jonathan Edwards,
would form all admirable subject for a new pic
turc i'll the Yale Art Museum -Nnr York.

Of its constant revolutionary state, and because

TOTAL DEpRAylTY. We take the follow
ing from the Norfolk Virginian, and consider
it a firstclass case of total depravity "A few
DAYS since u white man, whose name we sup
press, went into the Office OF one of our justices
of the peace to get him to issue document by
means of which he could procure set OF car
peuter's tools, which had been placed in pawn,
the ticket having been lost. Wishing some
information, the justice requested him to g, to
the pawn-broker and bring a certificate that
the articles had been placed in pawn. AS it
was raining violently at the time. the man Dor,
rowed the justice umbrella, saying nc would
be back in Il few minutes, since which he has
not been near the Office. As soon as the rain
was over, and he could get out, the justice
went to the pawn broker to ask him to look
out for the umbrella, which was i fine one,
when he found that it was already i'll the place,
the man who borrowed it having gone straight
to the pawn-broker on leaving the Office and
without saying a word in regard to the tools,
had pawned the umbrella for fifty cents: we
pity his case if he is ever arrested and that
Justice has to preside at the trial.

Go AND SEE.-Evcrybody knows that
A. HALEY keeps tin and stove store on
Washington avenue, between 10th and
llth streets but everybody does not know
that everything in the line of tin and iron
ware can be found there. Good house,
keepers, whose hearts always warm toward
nice, bright article Of tin ware, should
not pass Halleys store without paying him
visit. They may take the word of the
BULLETIN-which is well known never to
devate from the truth-that they will go
away enriched with some household con-
venicnce which appealed SO strongly to
their housewifely instincts that they were
compelled to buy. HALEY shows his wares
with the greatest pleasure always, perhaps
because he knows that the sight Of them
always induces a purchase.
