NEWARK, Aug. 7.
Walter f. Colt dropped in on us yesterday
morning. leaving again last evening. We were
glad to see him looking 80 well.
Newark has three carpet weavers doing custo-
mer work-James Taylor, Curtis Williams, and
Richard Parkinson, weaving from 300 to 4OO
threads. We have had -four at times and were
the champion town in the State. But we bear
that Stanton has the belt at the present time.
Mr.. Marshall. Nathan Hendrekson and Mr..
prchard are the weavers of that town. Taking
into consideration that Newark has more inhab-
itauts than Stanton, we must give Stanton
the championship in number, but Of
course we say Newark makes the best
carpets. Our weavers make carpets for miles
around James Taylors carpets, woven by $.
W. Mullen are spoken of i'll the highest terms.
They have ON hand just wove, one for Elkton
and one for Cherry Hill. Newark has beside
the above hand loom worked by John Stark
and owned By him for weaving bed sheetings
and table cloths, which, we understand, he can
do in the best workmanlike manner. He is also
superintendent of the weaving room i'll the mill
of Dean Pilling, Of the firm of Joseph Dean q
| Son.
More improvements The stone is being
hauled for the mason work of a house to be
built for Daniel Davis, painter, ON Choate
street.
The Quickstep base ball club Of Wilmington
have challenged the Newark Nine to play Oh Sat
urday afternoon, on the Newark Base Ball
grounds. The Newarks have accepted, go we
will have two games going at the same time.
A large number OF our people went down to
| Red Lion camp meeting, last evening, to stay
| all night A larger number were on the ground,
yesterday and last night than any time with the
exception of Sunday. Webelieve this camp q
success, and we hope they may continue having
camp meeting on the same ground year aftel
year. If it did not pay expenses we must re-
member we may never see times as hard as these
again or not tor years to come.
James Taylor who was hurt Wednesday is one
of our most esteemed citizens. He has been
constant reader of the COMMERCIAL for somt
time, and was on his way for the paper when th'
accident occurred. r.

HOW a LIGHTNING ROD MAN WAS MISTAKEN, AND
HOW DELAWARE LEGS WE'RE TOO MUCH FOR
PENNhYLvANIA ELECTRICITY
Last night, at the solemn hour of twelve, two
knights of the lightning rod business might
have been discovered on their way to this city
from Stanton They had reached the nearer
side Of the bridge, when two forms emerged
from the shade Of the fence and
walked swiftly toward the approach
ing vehicle. The proprietors, probably
fearful that there was cause for flight, whipped
up the two splendid animals attached to the
wagon and dashed towards the city, but not
sufficiently fast to outstrip the two in the road
who had evidently expected such manoeuyre,
and ran swiftly across the street cutting off the
team, and jumping upon the seat,
served a writ upon the unhappy vendert
of lightning rods, who were forced
to appear Immediately before Esq, Frazer and
required to leave behind them sufficient person

forgotten to settle, with their hostess at Stanton

Green Manures.

In many parts of the country one OF the most
serious questions is that of manure One may be
so situated as not to make II profitable or conve-
nient to keep much stock and yet ii manure has
to be purchased 1t is seldom that il can be done
so rs to leave much profit. On the other hand,
II Is clearly loss to farm poor ground; and thus
between these "upper and neither milstohes' one
hardly knows what to do
lu some places much use is made of giccn ma
nuies. That is, the land is sown with some rapid
growing crop, which, after IL has grown consider
ably, is plowsd down; and i'll this way the land
is fcrtilized Clover is often used Tor this pur-
pose aud in the South the cow-pea. There is
some considerable labor involved III this style of
manurinG; but this s not all in most cases. A
whole season is generally lost in this way Of Ter
tilizng the ground.
Still in many cases even tins has been found to
pay. instead OF buying either stable manure or
commercial fertilizers; and where land is cheap,
and taxes low, II may perhaps be the best thing
that can be done.
1t only some one could suggest something that
would grow so fast that we could plow 1t down
and crop the same season 1t would be one OF the
best possible discoveries. Something OF this kind
we find reported in the January number OF the
report OF the Depai tment of Agriculture, from an
English source. 1t appears that some one had a.
piece OF land SO poor that the wheat yield was but
four bushels to the acne. In lo60 immediately
after harvesting the wheat he owed cow-peas at
the rate Of two bushels per acre. Early in Octo-
Ucr he tuThcu tDe resulting crop uhuer Win u
deep turIow. A few weeks later he sowed on
this pee-sod wheat, narrowing IT. in carefully. He
harvested nine bushels per acre. He repeated
The same process i'll 1870, and realized seventeen
and halt bushels per acre; and again in 1871,
followed by yield OF twenty seven bushels per
acre; and again in 1872, with promise at the
time Of reporting OF forty bushels per acre.
Throughout this experiment, covering five years,
no fertilizer except the cowpea was applied.
This, II correctly reported, is a tremendous re-
suit and, If true, eclipses anyihiug heard OF
and is surely worthy of more thought than is usu
ally given to newspaper paragraphs. Year after
year the grain was soWn on the same land and
with only about two months growth of peas the
yield had in four years increased from four 10 for
ty bushels of whea With such results as these
1t will hardly pay, even under the best circum-
stances, to haul manure from the stable yard for
wheat. What has been done IN this way ought
TO be done again Somehow We can hardly credit
Ills stupendous result; yet we know that green
manuring is excellent generally, when we give 1t
years growth OF the ground, and 1T may be that
something like this can be done. We hope that
what we have written may have the effect Of
stimulating trials in this direction. -Foraey's
