| VALUABLE FERTILlzER.-We have been sent
specimen of what is supposed to be super phos
phate of lime discovered on the farm of Mr.. Los
renzo sbert, near West View, and adjoining the
farm of Henry Edison, Esq. The deposit is of
considerable extent, and If it really is what the in
dcations seem to determine it to be, it will prove
valuable. A similar substance in graduated

SPARE THE BIRDs.-We noticed last week a
number of large strings of dead Robbins, offer
ed for sale on our streets. They had been shot
solely for the purpose of sale. Such description
of trade should moi be encouraged. The Robin

ably more destructive to insects and worms than
any other species of the fcathcry tribe, thus pre-
serving fruit trees and destroying the enemies of
Spring vegetation of every description. They
come early in the Spring, TO be ready, it would
seem, to make their attack upon the first appear
