gravel, should be given as preventive for
the fiIture.--Ana. Agricutturist.
HEN MANURE ON A GARDEN.-IIen ma
nure is al'cost exactly identical i'm quality
and effect with guano, and may be used in
the same manner. Except on very rich
soils it should not be used in larger guam
titles than two hundred and fifty or three
hundred pounds per acre, as it would only
stimulate strong growth which could
not be kept up in vigor. As change of
manure on rich carmen soil which is heayi-
ly cropped it may be used to advantage.
The best way TO preserve it is to keep it
dry or mix with EARTH. Its value, if free
from foreign matter and dry, is $50 ton

CHIEF JUSTICE E'l1 CHASE.

Within few weeks, the heads of three
prominent Americans, have been laid in
the lowly corfines of the grave. Jas. p.
Brooks, JAS. L. Orr, and again Salmon
p. Chase. Either and all of them have
filled the most exalted positions in the
gift of a constituency, and their record
links the past and pres ent, with the pages
of 8 history not yet wholly written. In
the zenith Of American greatness with
others of giant intellect, they met upon
the arena Of fblitical debate, and the
student may long Gull the flowers of rhet-
oric, and the geld of wisdom from the
store Of mental force they so skillfully
cxerted. Mr.. Chase had been much
encrvated, and left Washington last week
for Colorado, where he hoped to recruit.
The sad news of his decease reached us
on the 7th, and the North is draped in
the sable habiHmcnts of mourning for a
worthy servant.

a CURIOUS RELIC

"A gentleman from New York en- route
for Florida stopped at Orangeburg for a

river bank. This being novel opera

Of the rude cypress trunk as it. gradually
became shaped to shingles. One of the
hands employed there "a negro) came up
and exhibited to a gentlemen near by, a
copper badge or medal Of peculiar de-
vice. 1t was covered wittr clay and YER
digris. and being rubbed! clean, revealed
its age, one hundred and sixteen years.
The relic was passed over to the stranger
who gladly paid q liberal price for it,
and for the readers Of the T1MEs we give
description of the badge. The copper
piece is probably ak inches in circumfer-
ence. On one side is the figure of a
mounted soldier PORTING his sword'to a
tented field, where some troops arc in
motion. Around the scene is inscribed,

medal is "Lissa Dec. 9TH" .On.the other
side the smoke Of battle divides a re-
treating army from their purs,lers, the
foreground is covered with broken wheels
and horses and men are overthrown.
The inscription above this scene is "Quo
nihil majus .meliusve," and above is
"Rosback, Nov, 5, 1852. The medal
is in excellent preservation, and the finder
said he had ploughed it up, with other
pieces somewhat eimilar. It is evident
that among the early settlers of Orange
