Duration of Vitality in Grain.

"a Young Farmer" inquiries if seed
of the different kinds of grain year
or more old, will grow as well as
fresh seed. Our answer would be,
always SOW seed as fresh as it can
be had, for although some seed will
germinate after it has been kept years,
vet these are exceptions. We do not
know of any distinct experiments on
old and new grain, except it be a sim
gle trial which we made in pots
Fresh seed wheat was sown in pots
in autumn, one inch deep, and kept
properly moist In another pot, sub
ject TO the same temperature and the
same degree Of moisture, was sown
wheat kept over one year. In other
pots seed five years old was sown un-
der similar circumstances. The first
or fresh seed came up in eleven days,
the weather being rather cool; the
second seed, one year old, come in
thirteen days. The FIVE year seed
in the other pots came up irregularly,
the first in eighteen days, and after
wards for nearlya month. The grains
of all were counted when placed in
the earth, and the result was that all
the fresh seed grew; all or nearly all
the one year; but one-half the five
year seed never grew at all. From
these limited experiments we may in
fer that fresh seed is always the best;
if onl Y year old it may do well, al
though the plants will hardly have
the vigor of the first; but seed sew
eral years old should be employed
only for preserving or securing some
desirable variety. We hope some of
our readers will repeat the expert
ment on oats, barley, &c, by accu-
rately counting, measuring depth, re-
cording dates, &c-Couatyy Gentle

gallivanting through Chic and Nir-
ginia for two or three years, taking a
wife here and there, and it is quite
certain that he came to Detroit a
month ago from the Ohio State Pcne-
tentiary, having served n short term
there for being connected witha horse
stealing scrape in Lorain country.
Kingsburv boarded at house on
Castings street, and had not been an
inmate of the house a week when he
wanted to marry the servant-girl, Civ
ing her to understand that be was
soon to come into possession of a large
fortune. Being addicted to drink, he
one night got to feeling highly elatcd,
and "blabbed" most of his history to
a companion. This man got the
name of the wife at jersey City, and
wrote to her that Kingsbury was here.
The letter was sent to Prcll, and he
came on as stated. but Kingsburry
had departed. Prell left for Saginaw
as soon as possible, and hopes to
catch the bigamist somewhere up in
the valley. 1t is believed that the
man has, during the seven years, mar
ried at least ten women. Prell has
pessonal knowledge of four, and news
paper slips concerning four more, and
as the fellow was lost track of for
about two years. he probably married
twice during that period. If arrest
ed and given the average sentence
for each time he has married contra
ty to law, he will spend all his remain
ing davs in prison.

sheep rs a RcuOVatOr.

Many writers on agriculture are
now of the opinion that sheep are as
profitable stock as can he kept upon a
farm. The old notion that sheep are
a scourge on farm is giving place to
its opposite, that they are renova-
tor and blessing, and particularly
profitable to poor farm. i writer
in the Southern Farm Home says: Il
think | know a irst-rate renovator
which will pay for itself, by its own
increase, in one year, and leave the
good it does the land for clear profit.
The writer goes on to say that he
was Southern rcbel-came home
dead broke to a small worn-out farm.
He bought in the fall of one year. ten
ewes, for $40, put them into a small
field full of nothing but brambles and
weeds. They soon ate up all the
briers and trampled down the weeds
He fed them through the winter on
swamp hay, turnips, beets and little
meal or shorts. They throve well,
had thirteen lambs in the spring,
worth the price of the old ones, while
the wool and manure more than paid
for the cost of the feed That field
he put in with corn, and raised thirty
to thirty-fve bushels of good corn to
the acre, whereas, before the sheep
had manurcd it it would scarcely have
raised the seed.
This success gave him the cue up
on which to act, and now he has a
fine flock Of sheep, and his whole
farm is much improved. Who will
not say this is better than superphos-
phateS or puanO?

& Marrying Mana Horse Thief Ten
Times Married.

The Detroit Free Press Of the 18th
has the following:
A Brooklyn official, named Prell,
arrived in Detroit yesterday morning
for the purpose of making the arrest
of a man named James Kingsburv, on
a charge of bigamv Prell had u let
ter directing him to a manufacturing
establishment on Atwater street,
where he expected to find kingsbury
at work, but on going to the shop he
learned that his man left for Saginaw
the day before 1t seems that Kings
bury, who has until lately resided in
the east, married woman at Mt.
Morris, New York, about seven years
ago. He lived with her about six
months, and then ran away, turning
up at jersey City a year after as
minister of the gospel, and having
another wife, while the first wife
was taking measures to have him ar
rested Kingsbury slipped off to New
Haven, stealing several hundred dol
lars from his second wife. He was
not heard of again for ten months,
and was then discovered serving as a
clerk in crockery store, and had
been married about month, the third
wife being q respectable and worthy
young lady The brother of wife No
, was complainant in having Kings
bury arrested, and the bigamist was
placed behind the bars of a police sta
tion to be taken back to. Jersey City,
In some manner, which has never
been satisfactorily explained, hemade
his escape from the station, and
though closely pursued for several
days, he got into Pennsylvania and
concealed himself
The relatives of wives one. two and
three then made a shake purse and
employed an official to spend his whole
time looking after the gay deceivcr.
He looked for several months, and
then gave up the chase until he saw
a notice in a Harrisburg paper that
kingsbury had married the widowed
landlady Of a boarding-house in that
city, robbed her of money and jewelry,
and been arrested in the act of alb
sconding. The notice was week
old when seen, and when Prell
reached Harrisburg Kingsbury had
induced wife No. 4 to withdraw her
prosecution, and once out of Jail, had
made a successful escape. From
what can be learned, Kingsburry was

LEACHED AsHEs.-In the report of
the Rochester Farmers club, given in
the american Farmer, Mr.. Quimby of
Irondcquoit says that during the past
three years be has drawn l0, 900 bush
els of leached ashes on his farm, and
spread at the rate of 200 or 800 bush
elS per acre He had ashed 40 acres.
He says the application has doubled
his wheat crop, and greatly increased
the grass. He could see great DIFF
ference in the growing wheat where
the land had been enriched by ashes
and where it had not. His land is
light. He had seen ashes applied to
heavy ground with little benefit. At
the same meeting, Mr. Little of Hen
rietta, said he had applied a quantity
to one Of his fields, the soil being
heavy. He Thought the mechanical
effect was bad, making the clay soil
heavier tnan before. And yet, the
lightness and heayiness of lie soil has
not all to do with it. We have seen
ashes both useful and of no value on
light soils; and then some opposite
results on heavy soils. A nursery of
standard pear trees, on strong soil,
was doubled in growth by an applica-
ton of ashes; a similar application in
another locality, where the soil APP
peared to be quite similar, produced
no perceptible result As general
rule, ashes, both leached and unleach-
ed, are useful; sometimes eminently
50; but the only way to determine to
what extent is to give them a care
fnl trial, measuring.

of the American people when they re-
elected Washington, the Savior of his
country. Ii is their doctrine now in
reference to the third savior of his
country, and they will select Grant
accordingly. Cheers. 1t is said
that Grant made mistakes Oh, yes,
he has. All men make mistakes. To
err is human in the broadcst sense.
1t is said that some of his appoint
ments have turned out badly. Yes,
some of the appointments of every
President have turned out badly.
Presidents are not all gifted with
clairvoyancc they do not all read
character in advance. But we have
ample compensation, for notwithstand-
ing the industrious efforts TO saddle
him with corruption in these appoint
ments, they have all failed, and hchas
come out triumphant. Now, finally,
we must have Grant few years lon
ger in the Presidency, because the an
ti-slavery battle is not yet fought out.
| care very little for dollars and cents.
| do care for human rights. That bat
tie will not be fought so long as a sin
gle shread Of Ku-kluXism exists in this
land. 1t will not be fought so long
as a single man in this land is de-
prived of ore single right on the
ground of his color applause. and |
cannot but feel, whenever | see in the
proceedings of Congress the defeat of
an anti-Ku-klux bill or the defeat of a
civil rights bill, that here are steps to-
ward the revival of American slavery.
Grant is doing well, and crushing out
Ku-KluXism. We want him to con-
tinue in the leadershipa a little longer,
until the final and complete triumph
of our cause. Cheers.
Governor Picrpoint, of West Nir-
ginia, seeded from the delegation
from that State to the Convention,
and in his speech to the delegation
declaring his preference for Greeley,
said he had hoped, "when selected
without solicitation, to come as a del
eeate 10 this Convention, that there
might still be an opportunity to save
the party by the nomination of an ac-
ccptable Presidential candidate, one
who would obey the laws and re-
spect the popular will; but it was
now evident that it was hoping
against hope; that this is not meet
ing for deiberatiOn as TO the inter-
csts of the Republican party or of the
country, but a meeting to obeyy the
cxacting demands of arrogant power.
Neither the admonitions of Cincin-
natl. nor of Sumner. ane needed, and
it is proposed to betray the organiza-
ton to crafty mere personal govern
mcnt. therefore withdraw from the
delegation, and give you this timely
notice to gill my place. | shall then

An Immense Crowd Present.
Speeches of Morton, Logan and Nye.
Philadelphia Safe for Grant and the
State Ticket

The meeting tonight to dedicate
the Hartranft Wigwam is pronounc-
ed by old stagers the greatest ever
held in Philadelphia. For hours the
principal streets were thronged with
professions with music, having ban
ners, torches and transparencies, be-
sides masses of men thronging to-
ward the place of meeting. The
numbers were totally beyond cxpee-
tation, and the enthusiasm up to the
highest pitch. Senators Nye, Logan
and Morton were the speakers. A
campaign was never opened more
auspiciously. An immense majority
is promised for Grant and the State
ticket in Philadelphia, and there is
every probability that the pledge viii
be redeemed. The rain has ceased
and clear skies are in prospect.
