CHANCERY CoURT.-The argument in
the case of A. L. P. Green vs.. Shurer and
Brien was concluded. This has been an
interesting and rather novel suit. Before
the war A. L, p. Green borrowed $4,000
from Mrs. Shurer, a lady living in DeKaIb
county, and in 1852 paid the amount in
Confederate money. In 1866, suit was in
stiJuted by Mrs. Shurer and NJ. II. Brien,
administrator, for the original amount in
greenbacks, alleging that the payment in
confederate money amounted to no pay
ment at all. By decision of the Supreme
Court, the plaintiff recovered the amount,
and the $4,000 in greenbacks was paid
over. The defendant in the above case
now becomes plaintiff, and alleges that the
Confederate money which originally settled
the debt had been loaned cut to various
parties, and some five or six Thousand dol
lars had been collected by the defendants,
and claiming that all money and interest
accruing from the amount plaintiff paid over
in Confederate money, and which he was
compelled to redeem in greenbacks, should
be paid over to him. This is brief history
of the present suit, and the opinion in the
case will be looked for with interest. Il will
probably be day or two before the opinion
is rendered.

when in combination with other substance

Mnsn 10 combination with other substances,
such as sulphurie and plNOsphoric acid, but
It Is useful per seq the following may serve
to illustrate. True, what folloWsis not new
70 farmers and other persons conversant
with chemistry; but it may be useful 90
some who have either not the inclination or
the opportunity to become acquainted with
this important and useful science. It is
well known fact that lime quickly
decomposes, or eats up as it is called,
vegetable matter. It is also q fact
perhaps as equally well known that all veg
etable compounds are composed chiefly of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
The lime being placed in contact with an
organic substance separates two Of the
above mentioned gases nitrogen and ny
drOgen) which are driven of, and unite
forming new compound. The nitrogen
being in a nascent state enters into combi-
nation with the hydrogen, The result of
which is the well known base amonia. The
carbon and the oxygen also are driven of,
but it is in state of combination in the
form Of carbOnic acid. Both Of these sub
stances being highly important to vegetable
growth are seized upon with ayidity By the
plant. -.
1t may be proper to state in this connec-
ton that lime being thrown upon heap Of
manure will set free the ammonia very
rapidly. This may be retained by sui
phuric acid, highly diluted, being sprinkled
upon the heap, or by the addition of some
dry muck. Again, in some soils iron py-
rites, otherwise known as "Fools' Gold" or
the bisulphide Of iron, are found in great
abundance. These by long continued ex-I
posure oxidize and form the sulphate Of
iron or copperas, which is entirely useless
in all its properties as a fertilizing
agent. The lime displaces the
iron and unites with the sulphurie
acid forming the sulphate of plaster. The
iron remains in the form of the oxid which
gradually changes into the sesquioxyd.
Both these compounds are highly useful TO
the growing plant. 1t has thus changed
an object Of detriment into IN object of the
highest utility. Lime also deeompose the
silicates of the alkalies liberating the alkaE
which before was in combination aud thus
renders it useful to the vegetable world.
Calcia attracts moisture out of the air and
furnishes it to the plant, thus recuperating
and strengthening it. Filthy, but not
lastly, it itself is taken up by the rootlets Of
the plant and finds its way into our body as
phosphate and carbonate. CHIFFON.

NURSERY FURNITURE AND APPLI-
ANCES

Decidedly unique feature of the expo
sition at Vienna will be the baby depart
ment. Ii is not proposed to have an ex-
hibitiOn of infants, but to make a collection
of nursery furniture and the mechanical ap-
planes by which the babies Of different
countries are reared, amused and instruct
ed. There is said to be great anxiety on
the part of the directors to sprocure a large
representation from America, for the reas-
on that is explained by correspondent in
these words:
sit is thought here that nation prOduc-
ing men of the intelligence and general
good character of the Americans must, of
necessity, be brought up in a certain cute
way, that sticks to them all their lives, and
results in the production of the celebrated
member Of the human family, the ingen-
iOus, all cOnquering Yankee"
Hence the President requests information
and specimens ofthe means of promoting
clildren's health, and appliances for. secur-
ing them when left alone by working peo-
pie, also toys and other means of instruc-
ton to deve OPP and form child's first ideas
of things in general up to the age Of going
to school.

Ika.e Can,reII Boat Club.

The beautiful boat Of the Kate Cantrell
Club, fully manned, was out upon the
bosom OF the Cumberland last evening,
with colOrs flying and oars responding
quickly to the Stalwart arms of the merry
crew. L was about 6 o'clock when this
bonnie craft left her mOOrings on a voyage
to the upper island, and as she glided
swiftly by the levee, it required no second
glance 10 see how well she was worked.
The boat belonging to the Club is forty
feet in length, aud was built at a cost of
S2IO. The CIub also had constructed
boat house for their craft,
which has all the necessary con
veniences, and after they spend an hour
these afternoons in this healthful exercise,
the boat is carefully put away under lock
and KEY. While we have such a well or
ganized club and such a handsome boa, it
is a source Of regret that there is but one.
We should have a rival boat club by all
means, and then would follow racing, and
exciting sport, indeed, il would be. Success
attend the Kate Cantrell Club. Long may

Severely Beaten.

Yesterday afternoon a colored woman
named Caroline Maxwell was assaulted and
severely beaten in house on Gay street
by her colored lord. The provocation was
that Caroline, who is fond of the ardent
and well skilled in three ante shuffling, was
found in gambling house drinking whisky
and playing cards-demoralizing habits for
her sex. Her face was badly cut, and it is
thought she may not recover. After being
carried TO her house in the rear basement
Of a building on College street, near Capt.
tul avenue, it required several women TO
hold her in bed.

WE regret to hear that a new enemy to
the rice planters has made its appearance
within the last few days, and is likely to
damage them most seriously. We are re-
liably informed that the caterpillar, resemb-
ling that which has proved so destructive 70
cotton Of late years, has made its appear
ance in large numbers in nearly all the
Savannah river plantations opposite and
seven miles above the city, on both sides,
and are making havoc Of the rice crops.
Owing to the state Of the rice in some places
and the low river in others, they cannot be
destroyed by flooding, aud on such fields
they are having their own way. We hear
they have appeared on the Ogeeehee, but
not in such large numbers.-SGUGaRah Re

United States internal revenue, seized a keg
Of whisky from VIM. P. Lane, of Cooke
county. The ground of the seizure was the
alleged want of proper revenue stamps on

charge of a person was repleyied, a bond
being fled for its delivery or its cash value,
which latter, $3.50, has been returned to
the DrODpr officials.

EdgeGeId Public Schools.

The examination exercises in the public
schools of Edgefeld were brought to a close
YESTERDAY, and the Board of Education
were highly gratified at the progress which
has been made. The examination of the
4th, 9th, 9th and 18th grades, at the Russell
street building, was thorough, and it speaks
well for the classes when we say that in the
transfer Of grades there were no drOnes, but
every pupil advanced one step higher on
the round of the ladder which leads to
fame. The 9TH grade being the highest in the
school, it was found necessary to establish the
eighth grade, and the class entire transfer
red. The names OF those pupils who will
enter the eighth grade next session are az
follows: NJ. johnson, M. Petway, K. Pr
per, D. Never, A. Brantley, NJ. Guthrie, z.
Cooper, A. Grisham, L. Haslock, G. Bar
thell, NJ. Joseph, z. Joseph, S. Frizzell, H.
Sheetz, r. Murray, T. Halle and A. Cooper.
1t will be particularly gratifying to the
teachers to know that at a meeting of the
Board of Education, every one of them
was unanimously elected for the en-
suing year, without even being ex-
AHMED This is a compliment to the I'M
tiripg energy of the teachers one and all,
and we know that this action Of the Board
will be fully appreciated.
THE CONCERT LAST NIGHT.
As a fiuale to the present session, the
concert and exhibition by the pupils of the
schools last night was exceedingly apprO-
pirate. McClure's Hall on this occasion
was crowded to its utmost capacity, and
all present were fully satisfied that the
Edgefeld Public Schools were able to stand
alone, after this exhibition of the
talent of those who participated
The programme Of exercises consisted Of
music, declarations, dialogues, Rotations,
etc. The practice in calisthenics showing
a high state of training and discipline on the
part of the pupils. "Our Country Cousin
at Gierss," and the "Hard Scrabble Meet
ing'' were very laughable, and created rap
turous applause. Mrs. Ginx, by lit'l' Miss
j., was loudly encOred, and the youthful
musical prodigy had TO repeat another Of
the same sort. The declarations were
very acceptable, the music iine, and alto
gether the entertainment was much en-
joyed.

AGRICULTURAL ITEMS FROM KEN
Tricky

A well known importer Of fine stock in
Russelville, KY, under date of June 5,
says that Logan county Is undergoing a
great drouth, and but little tobacco had
been set out up to that date. A fine rain
fell in that region, however, on the night of
7th and large quantity of tobacco has
doubtless been planted unless the plants
had become Overgrewn, which was highly
probable.
Oats and grass have suffered severely and
viii not make more than half crop, but
the wheat will be the finest for several years.
The harvest began in southern Kentucky
about the 4th. The price for early delivery
viii be 81 so per bushel.
The proprietors of Greenlawn stock farm
have recently imported twelve head Of Jer-
sey cattle and three Ayreshires. They
came through in fair condition, suffered
some, but are all promising stOck-all herd
booked animals. There is a growing de-
mand for short-horns and Jerseys in our
State, and many are being brought from
Kentucky. If our State Fair would offer
such premiums as would justify the Ken
lucky breeders in running the risk, there
would be an increased animation in the
blooded stock rings, and an impetus given
to the introduction of improved breeds into
our State.
