Waste Grounds.

On thousands Of farms throught the
country, there IS waste ground enough
if brought under cultivation, to pay
the taxes and cost of cultivation. There
Is much more than this on many farms,
but we are speaking now Of old cult
waited lands generally throughout the
country These waste patches are
either grown up with elderberry or
blackberry bushes, or weeds, or they
are low spots that are too wet to cult
waite at the proper season. In either
case, there issno better time to reclaim
them than represent. They are only
nuisances to the farm, and should be
reclaimed if for no other reason than
the owners reputation.
Fence rows are often so grown up
with briars aud weeds as to render the
fences invisible, and have so encroached
upon the land on both sides as to rem
der wide strip utterly worthless. In
such cases use a good stout brush
scythe, and cut away the growth on one
side of the fence. Then move the
fence out on clean ground, and finish
the cutting, after which the brush and
weeds can be gathered into piles and
burned. Now pillow the groI nj as deep
rs yOu cau-and for this purpose oxen
are better than horses-harrow until
the surface is thoroughly pulverized,
and SOW it in buckwheat, for there
is no better crop for Graduating
weeds. We tried this several
years ago, from suggestion we saw
in print, and can testify to its efficacy.
Ii the ground is low, and grown up
with worthless grass or rushes, the
remedy is draining. This can frequent
ly be accomplished with very little
labor. We have one case III mind now,
In which farmer. 10y our persuasion,
thoroughly drained swamp of an acre
in extent, in three days time, and it
is now, and it has been so ever since it
was reclaimed. the most fertile acre of
the farm. And yet he had lost the use
of 1t for twenty years, just from want of
n little consideration.
These unsightly patches of land are
the richest you have on the place, and
will repay you ten fold for their reno
Walton, besides adding inestimably to
the appearance and value of the farm
and your satisfaction Ohio Farmer.

the body Of Herman Niehaus, a young la5
about II years old, employed by the firm as

composed, and had probably been hanging

himself in the manner described after the de-
parture Of bis employers. No possible cause
can be assigned for the act.

EUROPEAN TRAVEL AND TRADR.-Five
steam sailed from New York on SatardAy for
Europe, viz: the England, Baltic, and Java for
Liverpool; the Olympic, for Glasgow, and the
Necker, for Bremen. Their cabin passenger
lists made in the aggregate about Two hundred
persons. Among the passengers were Baron
Won Telenski, L. HambletOn, Gen. h. 7. Miller,
and DIR. b. Beverly Cole. The foreign steam.
ship lines running into New York are somewhat
alarmed at the unprecedented decrease Of their
business. The Hamburg line hak withdrawn
several OF It's steamers, the Bremen line has fol-
lowed this example, the Balric-Ll lloyd company
has taken or ali its vessels, and the whole deet
is now lying idle al Stettin. This company was
obliged 70 discontinue by an absolute want OF
business. But all the companies sre sufferers 20
a great extent. None OF them carry at present
one-baH or one third the usual number Of steer
age passengers, while freights are very light,
and competition has driven rates down 80 low
that little money can be made. Much OF all this
is TO be attributed 10 the general stsgnatiOn OF
business, and TO the fact that information OF the
overcrowded condition Of the labor market in
this country has been spread everywhere
throughout Europe. The Philadelphia Bulletin
claims that some of the damage has been done
by the European lines running from Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, which carry heavy freights
TO and from both cities, while tue American
line also brings quantities OF goods for western
importers who were once compelled 70 bring
their merchandise into New YORK.
