MIScELLAKE0Us.
OUR NOMINEE.

- Mr.. Faulkner is one of the old repre-
sentatives of sterling Democracy. Ile has
seen much of political and public life, and
was Minister to France during President
Buchanan's administration. His experience
and attachment to the principles of his party
will enable him to do honor and credit in tho
next U. s. Congress, to his constituents.
{ Wheeling Register.
- With Faulkner then as our standard
bearer we go forth to battle, and catching in.
spiration from the eloquent and patriotic at-
terances of the chivalric Martin, who was his
chiefcss competitor for the position, we shall
not doubt that the ides of October will witness
a glorious victory for the Chief whose white
plume will be found leading in the hottest
fray MartinSbmrg Statesman.
Mr.. Faulkneris is undoubtedly an able man.
one who is influential and to degree popular.
especially in the Eastern Panhandle. Should
the Republicans exercise indiscretion Gas they
often do) in making choice at Cranberry
Summit, Mr.. Faulkner will be able doubtless
to show his opponent cear pair of heels all
the way around the course; but in the event
of good, popular choice by the Republicans.
the Democratic majority in the District will
be Offset, and there will then be the liyelest
race ever seen in tho State.
[Grqt1on Sentinel.
- Hon. Chas. J. Faulkner of Martins-
burg, has been nominated by the Convention
which met at Piedmont last week, as the Con~
servntive candidate for Congress in the Se>
cond district of West Virginia. We COM
mend the wisdom manifested by tho people of
his district in selecting this gentleman to be
their standard, bearer. He will make rcp-
resentative worthy of the people that elect
him.-Roclsin3ham Va.) Register.
- We congratulate tho people of the
Second District on the choice Of their Con,
ventiOn, and the Conservative party of the
country on the prospect of having in the next
Congress, so able a defender and advocate.
As representative in the forty
fourth Congress, Chns. j. Faulkner will stand
the peer OF the best man on the AOor.
[LeesGurg Nirror.
While others may have deserved tho
honor, yet the State of Vest Virginia can
boast of no son more gifted, talented, or
one upon whose shoulders the burden Of rep
resentation could fall more gracefully.

INDELIBLE INK.-The cheapest material
for marking linen is coal tar diluted with
benziue to the proper consistency. Another
inexpensive description is to place iron filings
or old nails in strong vinegar: let them stand
many days and filter the liquid. Another
way is to take equal quantities of vermiIIion
and ccpperas, and rub them mp with some
old varnish. The first and last preparations
have to be used with fine brush; the second
with common pen.

NINETY BUSHELS CORN PER ACRE.
The following is found In the Eddy
Vile advertiser OF late date, under
great hallelujah headlines:
Myself and son gath cred ninety
bushels Of corn to the acre this year
from five acres of land that had been
in cultivation twenty-eight years.
The ground has probably been in grass
two-thirds Of that time. The six first
crops were in corn; then seven crops
In red-top grass then four years In
corn then In timothy eight years ;
and lastly, two years In cora, as stated
above, ninety bushels to the acre.
II il the hight of nonsense for a
farm to run down in Iowa; keep the
land In clover, timothy or red-top
grass ut least half of the time, and IL
will keep clear Of weeds and rich.
The land will also tend the first years
after timothy or clover with ut least
twenty-five per cent. less labor than
land continuously in corn, and will
raise at least twenty-five per cent
more. 1t will also be in twenty five
per cent. better fix. This Is my expe-
rience.
1t Is surprising to see the amount Of
grass roots there are on q square foot
OF land to rot for manure.
