Professor Johnson says that formerly in Flanders the

for each person. 1t is hardly possible that, with the
general advance in prices, their present value should

perience in the use Of manure, intending uieht-sOiI,

this estimate would apply over The whole country may
fairly be questioned, hut one-half of the amount or,
SIS per head, would bring the amount wasted by the
whole population Of the country TO a sum that would
more than pay the interest on the national debt.
There is another view Oftle case, which IS also sug-
gesled in the foregoing question, that has an importance
not to be expressed in dollars and cents. The fertility
of the soil depends on constituents which it contains
10 very small proportion. These constituents enter
into the composition of the crops produced, and at
harvest they are removed from the soil. A very fertile

severely and destroying the building with its
entire contents 1t is feared that the injuries
received by Mrs. PARHAM will prove fatal,

some hope of her recovery. Reader, you

LATER. MRS. PARHAMS DEATH

further particulars of the above melancholy
accident. together with the news of Mrs PAR
HAMS death, which occurred on Saturday
last AT the time of the accident, late hour
in the night, her three small children had
been put to bed, and Mrs. P, having prepar-
ed to retire, and noticing the oil nearly ex-
hausted in the lamp, undertook to replenish
1t in order to keep light in the house until
her husbands return, he being absent from
home at the time and she looking anxiouslv
every moment for his return. The flames
spread so rapidly that by the time Mrs. P.
had rescued her sleeping children, and while
standing with them upon the front gallery of
the house, another can containing five gallons
Of oil took fire and exploded, followed by the
firing off of a loaded gun and pistol which
were in the house. What an awful nights
experience to a weak and delicate woman,
with her three small children, who were the
only beings on the place at the time TO wit

on the road, about a mile distant, and heard
the noise of the second explosion, and arrived
in sight just in time to see the top of his resi-
dence falling in.
Mrs. PARHAM is said TO be most estima-
