CLERGYMAN CALLED.-A Washington
correspondent Of tue Baltimore Sun says:
The vestry of Epiphany Church have call
ed Rev. Wilbur f. Watkins, of Brooklyn,
New York, to be rector of that church. Mr.
Watkins is native of Baltimore, where his
parents now reside. He was formerly u
Methodist clergyman of note and is consid-
cred one of the first pulpit orators connected
with the Episcopal Church in the United
States. He has been highly recommended
by several bishops and other clergymen of
high rank.
MIR. Watkins, some years ago, was the jul
nior preacher on West Hartford Circuit, and is
doubtless remembered by many as young
man of brilliant talents. His friends in this
county will read with pleasure the high cs-

Snow SToRM.-On Monday, the 18th, Old
Winter paid us, we hope, his parting salute,
in the shape of lively snow-storm, which
continued for several hours but melted as
fast as it fell, and finally turned to rain. Yer
lily, the hoary old monarch seems determined
to rob us of all the pleasures of spring time,
and will only be driven to his northern home
by the ardent rays of the summer sun.

SPRING CROPS

Mr.. EDITOR: AS general thing, farmers
are about done sowing oats for the present
Some are planting potatoes for early market;
some are busy blowing for corn-in short, the
weather has been so favorable that the far
mers are very little behind in their sowing
and blowing.
WHEAT.
A great many fields seeded last fall cannot
produce as much the coming harvest as were
sown on them. Then there are others that
are looking very nice. Taking the whole
number of acres sown last fall, we cannot
possibly have more than halfa crop.

rumor that Hon. Richard Grason will be u
candidate for the nomination as representa-

We have very little doubt but that Judge
Grason could get the nomination if he made
any effort to secure it, and have heard that
he has been solicited to run by influential
persons in Carroll county. We feel pretty
sure that Baltimore county would go solid
for him and his nomination would be q very
popular one, and that he would be elected by
a very handsome majority, if nominated, we
think there can be no doubt.

ROLLING GRAIN IN THE SPRING.
The Germantown Telegraph thinks il
farmers would look at the theory of roll
ing wheat and rye fields in the spring, it
would be resorted to much more than It is.
Occasionally the winter and spring have
been so favorable to these crops as to rem
der it unnecessary but in three summers
out Of four it is necessary, and doubtless
adds considerably to their productiveness.
The thawings and freezings of the ground,
throwing or spewing out the roots and ex-
posing them to the drying winds Of Febru-
airy and March, very seriously affect the
grain. Passing roller over as soon as the
soil is fit to enter upon, presses back the
roots into their beds, and gives them a fair
grip again upon the support on which the
crop must depend. This must be appa-
rent to every one who will look at its OPP
Grafton. We have no doubt that rolling
clover fields that have been badly thrown
up by the frost would also have most
beneficial effect.

Flint, in his "Grasses and Forage Plants :"
recommends the following mixture for now
ing on light lands: Orchard grass, 4 lbs. /;
June grass, 8 lbs; Hard fescue, lbs. |;
Fall Dat grass, lbs. !; Meadow Soft grass,
3 ibs.; Red-tops, 3 lbs. ; Italian Rye grass,
lbs. I; Red fescue, TBS. Perennial Rye
grass, 6 lbs. English bent, 2 lbs. /; Peren-
NAL Red clover, 3 lbs. Black medic, 2
lbs. +; White clover, lbs; Sainfoin, lbs.
There is nothing to be said against this
mixture. The greater the variety of nu-
tritious grasses the farmer can get estab-
lished in his soil the better, and the more
enduring and productive will the pasture or
meadow be, if it is properly fed and taken
care Of.

GRASS ON SANDY SOFIA corres-
pondent of the Rural Neto Yorker ash s
what kind of grass is best to sow on sandy
soil, and is answered as follows:
That must depend upon condition. Il
sandy land has been properly enriched with
vegetable matter-with leaf mould, muck
or course manure-a mixture of orchard
grass red-tops, June grass, red clover, and
white clover, equal parts, make a good
sod, and yields good crop for both pas
ture and moving. But if the soil is not
rich in humus, we should las we have) seed
more heavily with red clover. The red
clover roots, and the foliage which will fall,
will help to enrich the soil and render it
productive. If red clover alone were
sown first and plowed under in June or
July, about the time it is in blossom or
just before, and then mixture such as we
have sown, better permanent grass land
would, in our judgment, be secured.
Since writing the foregoing, we find that

southern Refugees in south America.

A correspondent of the New York
World writes from Lima. that, with very
few exceptions, the rebels who left the
South for South America at the end of
the war, are heartily sick of their change
of abode, but are generally too poor and
miserable to get to their old homes again.
He says:
"Many of the colonists, it is true, still
manage to keep up respectable appear
ance but after all, it is sort of 'out-at-
the-elbows, down-at-the-heel respectable
ty, while, sadder still, the vast majority
are to be met with whose appearance
most surely indicates that they are making
the pitiful effort to drown their miseries in
potent libations of the most poisonous, VIII
famous, and the vilest decoctions that hui
man ingenuity-or rather deviltry-ever
devised. In an out-of-the-way quarter in
Valparaiso, in one of the lowest precincts
of the city, known to the maritime COM
munity as the 'maintop,' whose brothels
and drinking booths are the resort of for
eign sailors, and the lowest class of the
native population, part Congo, part Indian,
part Spaniard, and not small portion of
Chinese, stands building that could
scarcely be dignified with the name Of
dwelling.
This miserable, rickety old howell pre-
sents more filthy and repulsive appear
ance than the most abject den of the pur-
lieus of the Five Points in days gone by.
Above the door is conspicuously embla-
zoned the legend, ''in Dixie's land we
make our stand,n which, without doubt,
proclaims the nationality of the proprietor,
while sign in glazing capitals just below
it, whereon is inscribed the "The Alabama
Free and Easy" indicates with equal GER
tainty the character Of the establishment in
question. AT the bar Of that disgusting
Chilean brothel, surrounded with the most
depraved of both sexes, and dispensing the
viles native drinks to as vile a set of scoun-
drels as ever went unhung, is what is left
of man who was not dozen years ago
q power in the land-a man who was
once delegate in Congress, as well
as prominent officer in the Confederate
army. His story is not dissimilar from
that Of others of his rank in South Amer
lea. Having lost almost all his worldly
goods by the war, he was tempted by
visions of hastily-acquired wealth, and free
dom from hard labor, to emigrate to Ecua-
dor. Thence he went to Peru and finally
to Chill, sinking lower and lower in the So
cial scale at each migration. His bright
dreams dispelled, honor and memory of
what he once was proved insufficient i'm
pulse to deter him from falling to the
lowest depths of miserable and depraved
existence. The above is far from being an
exaggerated picture 1t is only one in
stance of the result OF North American
emigration to the Southern continent"
