Three Fritud..

Trust to no friend if you have not proved
him they are oftener at the banqueting table
than at the door Of the prison. A man had
three friends; two of them he loved greaty
to the third he was indifferent; although this
one was the most honest and sincere. lie was
once summoned before a tribunal, where, al
though innocent, he was harshly accused. who
of you, he said will 60 with me, and testify
for me, for l am harshly accused, and the judge
is angry with me
The first of his friends at once excused him
self, and said that he could not 80 with him oD
account of other business.
The second accompanied him to the door of the
courthouse, then turned and went back. for he
was afraid of the judge. The third, upon whom
he least depended, went in with him and spoke
in his defence, and testified so readily to his in
nocence, that the judge dismissed him.
Man has the three friends in this world; how
do they conduct themselves in the hour of death
when heaven summons the soul before its tri-
bunal? Money, his dearest friend, leaves him
| first, and does not go with him. His relatives
| aud friends attend him at the door of the grave
| and return again to their homes. The third
whom he oftenest forgot in life, is his works OF
| benevolence these alone accompany him to the
| throne of the Judge they 80 before, speak in
his defence, and find mercy and favor for him.

am astonished at the ignorance shown by
the newspaper press over the country with re-
gard to the appointment Of Mr.. Fairman as post
master OF your city. Every paper in the country
has something to say ON the subject and all
seem to be wrong. The opinion prevails that
there was the bitterest Of feude between Messrs.
Fairman and Truman. That Fairman, because
of his extreme age and his four score years or
more of faithful service in the Post office was
selected in strict observance of bis civil service
rules, and that in selecting him Senator Cameron,
who is Mr.. Trumans special friend, was com
pletely snubbed and oyeuuled.
What nonseneel Every citizen in Phiadel
phla knows that MIR. Fairman is young man.
that there was no feeling between him and Mr..
Truman, aud that he is the warm friend of SEN
ator Cameron, and as much his choice as would
have been Mr.. Truman. by the way, hear 1ru-

Truman is set down for Register OF Wills in

The worrnIl.Neldls Homicide.

NOT GUILTY OF MURDER But - INVOLUNTARY HON.
iCIDE."
The death of David Neidig, in August last
from injuries received by stone thrown by
Joseph Worrall as they were journeying
homeWa ard from party together with others, is
yet fresh in the minds Of our readers Last
tuesday, the case was called for trial in the Del
aware county courts. and after all the evidence
was in and consultation with counsel, the plea
of not guilty was withdrawn and one Of iuyolun
tary homicide entered.
The reason for such action was not sufficient
evidence to justify a conviction for murder III
the second degree, because it was evident there
was no positive intention TO do bodily harm, but
that the act was simply one OF reckless brayado.

Applying Lime.

Lime is applied to land in three differ
emit states-as quick lime, Stacked lime
and mild or air-slacked lime. To raw,
stiff, newly drained land, especially if
there exists in it much of acid organic
compounds, it is best to apply quick lime
or caustic hydrate (slacked lime), as it
will have more energetic effect in ame-
liorating it. On light soils. mild or air
Stacked lime is considered most beneficial
1t is best to apply lime frequently and in
small quantities, so as to keep it near the
surface and always active. Lime is an
essential ingredientin soil. being constant
ly needed by plants in all their parts. Ii
may always be added with profit wher-
ever it does not already exist in sufficient
quantity, but the benefit or increase Of
crods by imingiit depends very much on
the amount of organic and inorg mic mat
ter in the soil. with. which lime combines
or forms .solubleicompounds.
