ORCHARD GRAss.-In alluding 10 the
value Of orchard grass, Alexander HYDE
uses the following language:
"It never says die. Il is the first 10
furnish bite for cattle in the Spring i
but slightly affected by the drought Of
Summer, and continues growing TN the
severe cold Of November locks IN the
source Of its nourishment. When cut or
grazed il starts up with the vigor Of the
fabled Hydra. Il can be moved in June
and August, and in few days is ct for
grazing, If il Is not desired to cut third
crop. II cut while in blossom, cattle and
horses are exceedingly fond Of the hay, and
thrive on It.
Sheep win pass over all other grasses to
feed on It. Even in Kentucky where blue
grass is generally considered king Of grasses.
Mr.. Saunders, of that State, admits that
when grazed down and the stock off, il will
be ready for re-grazing in less than half
the time required for the blue grass, and
in Summer it viii grow more in day than
blue grass will grow in week. It's in
clination to grow in tussocks may be rem
edied BY thorough pulverization Of the soil
and liberal allowance Of seed Cat least
two bushels per acre, and slight harrow
ing in the Spring where the tussocks are
more prominent.

Why Clover IMPROVES THE Son.
Professor Voelcker thus explains the ac-
tion Of clover in increasing the fertility Of
soils Gan who are practically acquainted
with the subject must have seen that the
best crops of wheat are produced by being
preceded by crops of clover grown for seed.
| have come to the conclusion that the
very best preparation, the best manure is
a good crop Of clover. A vast amount Of
mineral manure is brought within reach
of the corn crop, which otherwise would
remain in locked up condition ia the
soil. The clover plants take nitrogen from
the atmosphere, and manufacture 1t into
their own substance, which, on decompo-
sition Of the clover roots and leaves, pro-
duces abundant ammonia. In reality, the
growing clover Is equivalent, to great
extent, to manuring with Peruvian guano,
and in this paper Of mine / show that you
obtain larger quantity Of manure than IN
the largest dose of Peruvian guano which
farmer would think Of applying. 1t is
only by carefully investigating subjects
like the one under consideration that pos
tive proofs are given, showing the cor
rectness ofintelligent observers ia the field. "

We notice that certain parties are ad-
yertising largely in cur Southern and
Western exchanges corn which yields one
hundred and twenty-five bushels per acre.
We presume that what we have heretofore
said ON this and similar points viii put our
readers on their guard against such hum
bugs. That corn has been produced at
this rate per acre we have every reason to
believe, but that seed from such crop
win make any more under common treat
ment than similar seed from common
crop we do not believe. For instance, in
1871 we had about forty-five bushels per
acre, and from the seed Of this had about
seventy bushels in 1872, and from tho
same seed may or may not have as large
a crop this season. Those who buy this
corn and expect extra crops win be disap-
pointed, and the advertisers wen know Il.
Such huIbugging as this has dome more
TO retard and prevent the dissemination oi'
good seed among our farmers fhan al
other causes, united together, and ills high
time It was broken up.

CASE OF DAVID MURPHY.

Decision Upon the Appeal from the Yer
dict OF Murder In the First Degree
Affirmation of the Verdict by the
Supreme Court, General Term-Recom-
mendation Of Executive Clcmency.
1t is unnecessary to recte the particulars OF the
shooting and killing of David Barry by David MUIR
ply in April OF last year. AS is well known, he
tried In the Court OF General Sessions before Judge
Bedford convicted OF murder In the first degree
and sentenced to be hanged. The circumstances
were OF that peculiarly extenuating character that
his counsel Mr.. william r. Howe, appealed from
the verdict to the Supreme Court General Term.
The appeal was argued several days ago,
before Judges 1ngraham and Brady, on the
case ITSELF without any exceptions, the
circumstances being that Barry assaulted the
prisoner In a drinking saloon and then went out,
followed by the prisoner, who shot HIM. The
General Term yesterday rendered decision in the
case, affirming the Judgment OF the Court below,
both Judges delivering opinions. Judge Ingraham
states that the Court cannot Interfere with the
verdict there being some evidence TO support 1t but
he most certainly, Notwithstanding the animation
of Judgment, takes most charitable view OF the
case as he concludes his opinion as follows:-
while think there is nothing in the case to JUS
tny this Court in reviewing the Judgment, we feel
bound TO say that we think the clemency OF the
Executive may be properly exercised in commut-
ing the sentence to such lesser degree as shall be
thought proper on review OF the evidence" Judge
Brady also with the presiding Justice in his
conclusions OF law, but Is frank to confess that
been committed on the prisoner, raising doubts as
to whether he had time to cool before committing
the deed, he thinks that the offence might be more
properly called manslanghter in the third degree.
