Impor,uut 10 Builders,

A suit of great importance to builder;
has been decided in the New York Court
of Common Pleas. A brick mason agreed
to build a house and charge 50 per thou
sand for laying the brick. When he came
to measure the brick he measured all the
opening windows, doors, &c, rs solid
work making his bill $4,000 larger than
it would have been had he only measured
the solid wall. The man for whom the
work was done refused to pay this So 300
and tho mason brought suit to force the
payment, pleading the custom OF brick
masOns in his favor. The court decided
that his charge was illegal, and that he
had no legal right to charge for laying
brick that were never laid. This decision
is important 10 builders and contractors,
rs other State Courts would be likely TO
follow the decision and precedent set by
the New York Court.

The american Rural Home publishes q
communication from F. p. Root, one OF
the best farmers Of the country, on the
subject Of manures, in which he makes
the following statement, showing the su.
periOrity Of raising and blowing in heavy
crops OF manure over system OF negli-
gence called manuring in the natural way:
Two adjoining fields, divided by rail
fence, have been long under cultivation,
and clover was often plowed in as ma.
nure for succeeding wheat crop. The
fence was taken away, and the whole, as
one field, summer iallowed and soWn
with wheat. The strip where the fence
had stood, and where the grass had so
long grown and decayed on the surface,
did not produce nearly the crop which
grew on the other ride where the clover
had been plowed under.
There we're strong reasons for this diff.
ference. The grass which grew and de.
cayed on the surface afforded little else
than vegetable mould. This could not
enrich the soil several inches down, and
did not possess in itself the fertilizing
character Of clover. The clover was
plOwed in, and was ultimately mixed and
diifused all through the soil, where the
roots Of growing plants were 10 penetrate
The vegetable mould remained only on
the surface, and could only operate as d
mulch.
We have heard such facts as this cited
in proof oil the folly of the practice o.
spreading yard manure on the surface
and never blowing in. The TRUTHS, this
mode of manuring would be Of little use
II 1t were practicable on cultivated fields
But fortunately, the very act ofcultivating
works in the manure, and it cannot, as {
matter OF course, remain at the surface
which the pillow is throwing under. Iii!
an excellent practice to allow spread man
ure to remain on the surface for a time
especially through autumn and winter
until the water Of rains and melting
SHOWS diTuse the soluble parts intimately
with the earth. When this Is done, theI
is the time 10 plow under this enrichel
topstratum, and it will be worth doubl
the same manure in Jumps, unmixed will
the soil.
Top-dressing without blowing unde
the manure is an exception, because tn
tibrous character of the roots serve t
carry down the manure in solution
which could not penetrate the cOmpac
layers Of bare soil. But turning unde
the manure is oilen Of great benefit eveI
on grass-more especially on thin up
land. Surface manuring on such land
although beneficial 10 certain degree
, will otgivC it the power to grow heav,
grass and withstand severe droughts. Me
, are apt 10 run 10 extremes, and havinI
discovered the successful results Of sur
face applications in certain cases, the
may carry the practice too far and omi
the deep, thorough and intimate diffusion
of manure effected by solution, b
thorough blowing, and by repeated hal
rowing, which can alone supply a rio
and mellow bed of earth for the extension
o! the roots Of the crop.

layer has TO fill in between. This Il Il
dlfhcultto do from tho confined space
and even If well done leaves uS a wall
with hole In It about two and hal
inches wide, by twelve or fifteen inches
high every foot. The wall, therefore, Is
not so strong on that side as on the other
besides all bond, so to speak, Is de-
stroYed, and VIC might as well watch a
post and expect 1t tOremaip strong as ever
rs to consider that the strength Of such a
wall has not been impaired, II ills a
party wall and the joists are run in from
both sides, Il is evident that the wall
above simply rests on the piers beneath
the joists. Walls arc generally and very
properly made thicker at the bottom
than at the top, for the reason that each
story has to bear In addition to It's own
weight the weight Of the stories above,
The outside wall being straight the dit
ference In thickness Is made on the In.
slice, which would have a tendency Ia
throw tho weight on the outer edge Of
the foundation. This, tho weight Of the
joists on tho corbelling, has tendency to
contract, and restore the pressure to the
centre OF the foundation, besides Which
the wall Is carried up full thickness, well
bonded, and without holes in It.
Respecting the iron bow girder, about
which so much has been said and 10 the
asserted failure Of which has been seen
the cause of the late accidents, there can
be no possible question. A cast iron arch
or bow, with wrought iron string, Il
can fail only by the crushing Of the arch
or Che breaking Of the tie rod or string
or by serious defect in the casting. II
is easily demonstrated by theory and ex-
pertinent that no weight which, In actu.
ual practice, these girders have to bear
can crush them, and no defect serious
enough 10 damage them would be likely
to escape the usual tests made in the
iOundries, and the effect of the straining
Of the tic-rod. Besides, there are hun
drcds Of them in use in this city, and
there Is no instance in which they have
been known to fail.
Like the foundations Of walls they must
have bearing sufficient at each end OF the
wall not to crush the brick work by the
weight imposed.
Any one rejecting on the foregoing
will perceive that the materials OF
structure must be bad, indeed 30 bad as
to attract universal attention, before they
will fail at the time-it using them-and
that it is more to the workmanship that
they should look than the material, and
where this latter has been reasonably
good land certainly men are not willing
to hazard their own lives by doing things
known TO be dangcrOus), as was doubtless
the case in the houses that have recently
fallen, we are 10 look still further for the
cause, and people in the meantime should
be slow to take snap judgment and visit
the consequences on the heads Of parties
who probably would have been willing to
have risked their lives with their work.

family assembled in very small and un-

stood the coffin, that all might take last

service was conducted by two clergvmen,
friends OF the family, who, with their long
prayers and extended "remarks," con-
sumed fully two hours. during which Mr..
Barnes suffered untold agony of suspense
and Impotence. Hardly had the second
minister pronounced the ''amen" when
