RISING SUN ITEMS.

TIE Weather.-That standing topic for
correspondents and grumblers, has been
remarkably good for some time, and, as a
consequence, the roads are better than
ever before known at this time of the year
by the " oldest inhabitant."
Public Sales are all the rage. To look at
the quantity of bills posted up one would
think, everybody was on the move, or de-
clining business The professional vendue
attendant is kept very busy.

vile, fell from load of straw, a few days
ago, and was severely injured. No bone
were broken.
Improcemenes.-The l. O. o. F., and X.

Halls, and expect to occupy them in short
time. From the present appearances OF
furniture, carpets, &C., both Halls will
compare very favorably with any in the
occupancy of the orders, outside of the
cities

BUSINESS ENTERpRIsE.-We have learn
ed that Mr.. j. II. Brazier of the firm OF
]. Z. Caldwell & Co., jewelers., 902 Chest
nut Street, Philadelphia, has Just returned
from Europe, where he has selected very
large stock of elegant bronzes, Clocks and
Fancy Goods.
This we believe is the first occasion,
upon which such large importation has
been made at this season of the year, 1t
being customary to have such goods arrive
only in the Fall.
The immense demand for these rare
articles is however constantly on the i'll
crease, and it is certainly much more graf
flying for the public to be able to select
from new invoice, than to be forced te
select from stock that has undergone the
culling of the holiday season.

1t is now pretty certain that England
will repudiate the treaty of Washington,
when she finds she can't buster the United
States into any further concessions. When
European affairs threaten to become trou-
blesome, the British Government will again
come honey-fugling round America for a
settlement of the Alabama claims. A
score or two of cruisers let loose on her
commerce will most likely be the arbitra-
ton that will settle the matter g Protidi-

British Government since it has been a

Young Mems Christian Association.

MR.. EDIToR:-It is with all due respect
to those who have been foremost in the
work of organizing the Young Mems Chris
tian Association of Elkton, that attempt
briefly to give my views as follows:
1t is fact patent to every one interested
in this great work, that it has not met with
the approval of that class of young men
for whom such an institution is especially
designed, namely,-the young men who
are not members of any church. Not the
righteous, but sinners Christ came to save.
1t is with this view that / contend that,
first. the Constitution. shall be so changed
that any man of good moral character
shall be eligible to office after the present
officers terms shall expire; in other words,
that an associate member shall have all the
rights and privileges that an active member
shall have removing all distinctions, what
ever. The plan of excluding associate
members from office has worked well in
the cities, where the young men of the
church are power within and of them
selves; but in a small place like Elkton it
takes every man and every dollar that can
be obtained to carry on a work of this
kind. Get the young men interested in
this work, and it cannot but flourish. Does
any sane man pretend to say that it is to
be supposed that they will come in and
give their energies, time and money to the
cause without an equal voice in all its
deliberations? Why not, then, remove
this stumbling block in the very outset?
And while believe that the more earnest,
true, christian plety instiled into work
of this kind, the better, yet l think that
the desired end can only he accomplished
by getting all the young men of Elkton and
vicinity engaged in this work. Make it
their work, and trust to the good influences
that there will be brought to surround
them to eventually bring them into the
church, which no one can deny is the true
end and aim of the Young Mems Christian
Association. Not those that be whole need
a physician, but they that are sick.

Mr.. j. c. Murray few years since pur-
chased a poor rundown farm in the neigh
borhood of Bay View, and removed from
the city of Wilmington to it. Last year
he raised seventy five bushels of corn to
the acre on a field that had been in corn
the year before. The first crop which was
on a grass sod turned under, was as large
as the yield last season. We may here
state that no extra manure was put upon
the ground to produce the second crop, a
heavy coat of bonos having been spread
upon the land when plowed for the first
crop. Mr.. Murray's system of farming is
to seed down his stock ground in oats and
SOW clover seed with the oats, and give the
land heavy coat of bones or lime. He
raises no timothy, which is an exhausting
grass on land, and feeds to stock all the hay
and course provender raised on the farm.
He stidiously avoids close pasturing, and
allows much of the grass to rot on the
land. By liberal manuring and the Guilt
Walton of clover, this farm has been brought
to state of fertility which is capable of
producing two crops of corn in succession,
average seventy-five bushels to the acre.
And this result has been achieved in few
years on land width had been run down to
the starvation point. Mr.. Murray has
found wheat to be the poorest paying crop
produced by the farmer, lin fact it puts
him in debt is his experienced, and has con-
sequently abandoned it entirely. This in
brief is the experience of one practical man
who had faith in manure Investments. A
"a. m who has farm that he can take sew
-art, five bushels of corn per acre from, for
two &, lccessive crops, is better off than he

tied in ba. TX and poor worn ont place.

THE TRIBUNE ALMANAC This is one
of the oldest statistical ANIMALS of its kind,
and although it has many imitaters. and
new ones springing up every year, still
retains its position as a reference book per-
tanning to all the most useful political mat
tiers. and its tables of election returns are
acknowledged to be standard authority on
that subject. In addition to furnishing all
the information pertaining to complete
almanac, the public laws and joint resolu-
lions, passed by the Forty-second Congress,
are given in the Almanac of 1872; the pro-
CARNATIONS of the President of the United
States; the most important acts Of Con-
gress, passed by the last session; statement
of the public debt: receipts and Gisburse-
ments of the L. s. Treasury; population
by States and counties, and of the princi-
pal cities, and a great variety Of other valu-
able statistical and highly useful political
information. Whoever is careful to pro-
cure and save Tribune Almanac yearly,
will in few years have acquired a library
of most valuable statistical information.
about the political affairs of the country,
which for reference purposes can nowhere
else, in so convenient and condensed form,
be had.
