his services, and honor him with compli-
ments. Today scarcely soul of them
all was there to meet him, and instead
of the distinguished gentlemen who
have been wont to crowd his quarters
only beggarly crowd of Greeleyites
we're on hand. The sudden realization
of the terrible change which has come
over his relations with, the people OF
Massachusetts, aud their leaders was too
much for his spirits, and tonight he is
prostrated and unable to receive any one
at his apartments. 1t is the severest
shock which he has ever experienced,
and it is exceedingly doubtful whether
he can bear up under it. lie is not a

too apparent that he is Senator with

Miss Virginia f. Townsend's charming

The Democrat

How very refined, well we might say
religious if we thought the Editor OF
the Democrat knew the meaning Of the
word. How Uery much out Of place it
is, in the estimation OF this younger
Democratic saint, for minister of the
gospel to state his political views when
requested to do so. The intelligent
men Of the community of both parties
we're somewhat surprised to find an at
tempt at neral lecturing on this subject
in its last weeks issue. They were of
opinion that ministers were citizens OF
this Republic, and as citizens had all
the rights aud privileges OF citizens, aud
they are very much of the same opinion
still. Ministers were as largely repre-
sented among the men who fought TO
save the country during the Rebellion
as any other. profession according to
Numbers, and pretty story it would
be now, if by Democratic prescription
their lips are to be sealed on the politi-
cal issues Of the day. But no one has
as yet suspected that the Democrat now
has, or ever had the slightest tinge of
sympathy for the soldier (from any call
ing in life) who fought to save :he ma
ton, or the cause for which he fought,
but on the other hand abundant evil
dence that its sympathies were all on
the other side.

APPLICATION OF MANURES TO
GRASS LANDS.

Most Agricultural Journals advocate
manuring grass lands in fall. I here
with take issue with them on that theo-
ry, and pronounce early spring as the
best time to apply manures to clover or
timothy grasses. Firstly, manure APP
piled in the fall cannot develope the
plant until the coming spring, a period
of five or six months; and during that
time the larger part of the ammonia
and nitre of the manure will be exhaust
ed. and no small part of it will be wash
ed and leached away, leaving but COM
paratively small benefits to the soil to
which it is applied; especially would
this be the case in an open and rainy
winter, some of which have experienced
in western New York. Secondly, it
makes a covering for ground moles, I'M
der the cover of which they can make
their nests, and feed upon the roots dur
ing the whole winter otherwise they
would be compelled to take to the woods,
where they will find a substitute in the
fallen leaves which strew the ground,
affording food and shelter. Early spring
finds the soil open and porous after sue
cessive thawing and freezing. Then is
the time to give meadows top-dressing
of well rotted manure, or which is better,
a compost formed of muck and leaves
with equal parts of stable manure This
compost is easily made, and incurs very
little expense. Most people are already
familiar with the process of making COM
posts. We would say that the first of
April is as near the time to apply ma
nure for the Northern States as any,
though the weather may make it neces-
sary to change to little earlier or later,
as the case may be.
Be particular to spread the manure
evenly, leaving no Jumps or clods: say
two cords or ten wagon loads to each
acre, and my word for it, you will be
surprised to see the results, especially if
you have always been in the practice of
manuring in the fall. [ give the above
from experience actual practice, not
counting from theory. The warm spring
rains bring the juices of the manure in
direct contact with the roots of the ten
der grass, which gives it a thrifty and
healthy start, adding a hundred per cent.
to the weight and quality to the crop
when gathered, besides affording much
better pasturage for stock during the
late summer and early fall. Give the
above one trial, early and thorough, 'and
report the results in the next Farm Jour-
nal, for the benefit of all who have not
been convinced. Respectfully.-Am.
