Local Affairs.

MERcHANTs.--Amongt the most active and
successful business men of this city, may be
mentioned the name of Lewis ]. Barker,
whose popular store is located on the S. E.
corner of Laurel and Washington streets.
Mr.. Barker like most other judicious en-
ployers, displays good Judgment in the Sc
lection of his employees. 1t matters not
how well merchant may understand his
business in all the various details, it is al
most impossible for him to be successful if
those in his employ are not of the right
stripe. 1t is unnecessary for us to say that
Mr.. N. Getsinger, in the employ of Mr..
Barker is one of the most energetic and
obliging young clerks in this city. While
he looks to his employers interest, he is
also attentive to the interests of customers.
Mr.. J. Broomall is all right in his depart
ment, if he does capsize wagon occasion
ally. Mr.. Barker keeps one of the very
best stores in this city; his stock, consisting
of Dry Goods, groceries, provisions and an
endless variety of useful articles is carefully
purchased by the proprietor himself, on
such terms as enables him to compete with
all other stores. If celery or anything of
the kind, not extensively produced in this
part of the country is in demand, Mr.. Bar
ker does not spare any expense to have it
fresh every day or two for the accommoda-
tion Of customers. 1t is a fact that Barker
is selling excellent celery cheaper than it
can be had at retail in Philadelphia; and
ef
less than city prices. One of the secrets Of
his success and the large amount of patron
age received. is that he advertises literally,
and printers ink will tell.
FINE PAINTING.-We are levers of fine
pictures, and have been gazing on one re-
Gently executed by Mr.. A. Sturge of this
city. We are glad to welcome the fine arts
among us, as elevating in its influences, and
rejoice that our friend has taken to the
easel. The prominent points of this picture,
"The Welhorn Swiss Alps" are that the
chiaro oscuro is excellent, it is difficult to
battle the distance and mountains in mist,
the clear, crisp Swiss atmosphere is well
presented, while the sunset effects are beau
tiful and pleasing, and the cataracts are
leaping with life. We understand it is Mr..
Sturge's intention, before next fall to visit
Watkins Glen, N. Y; some scenes in Penn
sylvania, and the ever fresh and grand falls
of Niagara, producing some sketches off his
own pencil, which by the Holidays Of 1873,
he hopes to offer to those of our citizens
who desire to encourage love of the beau
tiful in nature. He has written to Europe
for valuable sketches of the "Night Erup-
ton Of Mount Vesuvius'' last spring, and
the ''Matterhorn," companion piece to the
one he has just finished). The picture is for
sale, and viii be exhibited next week in the
window Of Mr.. John Laning, our polite
jeweller.

The NJ. E. Sunday School at Fairton,
under the superintendency of the pastor, is
in vigorous condition, growing from SUM-
day to Sunday both in numbers and interest.
The friends of the school have concluded to

in the hall over Swing & Tomlinson's store,
for the benefit of the school. In addition
to confections generally, and ice cream,

ters served up in various styles. A fine

GRANVILLE B. HAINEs.-The readers of
newspapers are already familiar with the
name of G. B. Haines, as one of the extern
sive dry goods dealers of Philadelphia. His
store, No. 1913 Market Street, having been
lately enlarged and restocked with new and
superior goods, is one of the most desirable
in that city at which to make purchases
The proprietor has had long experience in
the business, understands how and when to
purchase goods, in order to sell them at the
very lowest figures. The manner in which
customers are dealt with at his store is cal
culated to make permanent customers and
increase the number Everything is sold at
the very lowest possible figure, and if piece
of goods does not prove to be what it is rep
resented, it is either exchanged or the money
refunded. Those who do not know the val
ue of what they are purchasing, have the
satisfaction of knowing that they must be
all right in quality and price, if Mr.. Haines
or any of his clerks recommend them
There is no dry goods house in Philadelphia
where better goods can be had for less
money.

GUANO DEPOSIT OF FERg.

Harry Meiggs, the great railroad operator
of South America, has discovered, on the
main land of the west coast Of Peru, the
most immense deposit Of gusno ever seen
anywhere. The deposit is said to extend
for several miles along the coast and reach
far inland. The Chincha Islands have here
tofore been considered the richest In gusno
production, but this last discovery shows
conclusively that this is OF much better
quality and much easier TO handle than the
former. Millions upon millions Of tons can
be dug cheaply and transported to all parts
of the world at a much lower figure than
heretofore. This valuable fertilizer will no
doubt be used much more extensively in
this country, as well as Europe, as the price
at which it can be furnished will place it
within the reach Of ali. This discovery
alone is worth more to the Peruvian govern
ment than all the money they are to pay
Mr.. Meiggs for constructing railroads.
The above reads a little too much like a
puff Of railway man to be entirely relia-
BILE; yet We hope it may turn out as stated.

Honey LOCUST HEDaEs.

j. w. Pearman writes the Prairie Far.
mer of his experience in growing the Honey
Locust for the past Ave years, and his plan
In starting the seed is to place vessel on
the stove and gil It half full of water. Let
the water come to boil, I'LL the vessel with
seed while the sedter Is boiling, and then
set off covered up) for twenty-four hours,
after which, the seeds are ready for plant
ing. Seeds that are sufficiently scalded
are usually twice their natural size, and
very snft, and would appear, to one not &C
quainted with the fact, as bsing scalded to
death; but If you will examine carefully,
you will find the germ nicely started, and If
planted in good warm soil, well cultivated,
will come through in three days. Seeds
not sealded as above mentioned, will require
from four to six months in the ground be-
fore terminating. At least, that in my ex-
perience.
We would here say, that Of all the varie-
ties and species Of plants that have been
tried for hedges, in this section, none, in
our opinion, has proved more successful
than the Honey Locust. It does not kill
out so bad as the Usage Orange, and makes
q better looking hedges-Ed. Rural Home.

.sNot yerx WALL,

A feeling OF vague bodily discomfort, which
does not amount to positive Illness and yet is ir-
compatible with health, is often aptly described
by the phrase sfNot. very we'll" This feeling
usually arises from deficiency Of the nervous
power which is required to keep the vital ma
ehinery in vigorous and hes1thful operation

SUGAR FKOm wATERmELONs.

We regard the manufacture of sugar from
watermelOns as more likely to be successful
in this country than from beets. Dewey
& Co., Of San Francisco, have issued a
pamphlet on this subject written by one
who has investigated the matter in Europe
from which the following is copied:
SThs sugars from cane, maple, beets, pars.
nips, tlts sweet-gourd and all the varieties
of melons, when manufactured perfectly
pure, are chemically identical. la Hungary
and lts there are large establishments for
ths manufacture of melon sugar. We have
seen them. The cost of melon sugar as COM
pared with beet sugar, is in favor of the
melon. Every German or French authority
on the culture Of bees for sugar, admits
the necessity Of at least two, and recon-
mends three, deep and thorough plowings
of the land TO properly it 1t for the culture
Of be- s. With melons 1t is quite
otherys,. To secure the largest
Weld, and best eeets, the seed should
be planted in rows eighteen inches
apart, and from six to eight inches
apart in the row. Melons are usually
planted n hills, eight TO ten feet apart, but
they are hetter planted in rows twelve feet
apart, anu elgnb lucues apart ~ 80 wv
For bee, :, all the land-for illustration, say
fifty fee. IN width-must be plowed at least
twice. s5r melons, only four beds, twelve
feet apr, and each only four feet wide, or
sixteen hst in width Of plowed land against
fifty for 0sts.
The great expense Of beet culture is In
the hana hoeing and wedding Of every row,
and in l""st lands as many as three of these
weedint are required in season before
the leave are large and spreading enough
to keep Town the weeds. The difference
