OTHER newspapers beside the Spring
field Republican begin to clamor for the
removal of Gratz Brown from the Greeley
ticket because of his Incorporate habits.
The Lewiston IN. " Journal says IN
Three times within the last twenty-five
years the Vice-President has been called to
take the Presidential chair. OF the
manifest unfitness of Gratz Brown for
such position there can be no honest
difference of opinion. His personal
habits are VIGOROUSLY bad. And in making
this statement do not catch up mere gossip
or belief, but we refer to published testimo
ny that is positive-testimony referring to
acts within few weeks. In this respect the
two tickets stand in marked contrast. Tie
character of Henry Wilson is above re-
proach. His moral and pc it cal integrity
are above suspicion. He has shown politi-
cal craftsmanship Of high order. No one
would have the least fear, should the Ieins
of government fall from the hands of the
President, that he would be incompetent
to take them up and hold them, to the hon
| or and interest of the Republic.

THE FARMERS MEETING IN Pc
TERsBURG.-The farmers meeting was
largely attended yesterday. The commit
tee on fertilizers, to whom was referred the
address or Mr.. Drumgoole, of Brunswick,
made report. The committee indorse the
recommendation of the speaker that lime
proyement, as not only logically true, but
eminsntly so in practical point of view,
as proven by the long and carefully con-
Quoted experiments Of Mr.. Drumgoole.
The committee called the attention of the
meeting to the frauds practiced in the man
ufacture of commercial fertilizers, both in
the use of improper and worthless material,
and through ignorance of chemical comhi-
nations and scientific principles. The COM
mittee believe that the articles, as now
manufactured, are by far too high in price
for the manureal value they contain. They
point to Mr.. Bruckner's recently published
work upon the subject to prove that not
one exceeds in actual value of material
thirty-lour dollars, and most OF them
at much less value, while they are asking
in the market from $50 to $50 as cash and
time prices. They recommend the appoint
ment of a committee by the farmers meet
ing to memorable the General Assembly
of Virginia to take into consideration the
propriety Of establishing within the boun-
dairy of our State the manufacture of ferti-
llzers as new, important, and
self-sustaining industry, to be worked
by the convicts in the penitentiary.

and Peter Holmes, of Southampton, Will

Rural Readings.

Giue Water Freely-Horses and oxen at
work, need water often. The plowman
carries his jug of water, or leaves his team
to rest while lie goes to the house for a
drink. But the team works harder than
the driver, and probably needs drink as
often; yet many teams are taken out early
in the mern ng, to the field, where there is
no water, except in the drivers jug, and
worked five or six hours before they can
get drop.
Is it any wonder they are injured by
drinking too much when led to the spring
at noon? As an act of kindness to the
horses and oxen that serve man so faithful
ly, and as a matter of economy, we recon.
mend that in all cases where the water is
not in, or very near the field, in which
the team is at work, tub or bar.
rel be furnished, and filled with
water as regularly as the plowman's
Jug. This, with bucket, may easily be
set in wagon, and taken to the field, and
the team should be permitted to drink once
at least, every half day, and oftener if the
weather is warm. If Ievery one would
adopt this plan, we should hear nc
more of 'water founder. The teams
would be more vigorous and hardy, ano
perform more work for their owners.
