Leaves have their time to fall, - but
they are only a nuisance if left in the
yards and on the sidewalks; but when
gathered dry, and stored in the barn or
shed they add greatly to the value of
the manure pile in the spring.
A litter of leaves in the horse stalls
is more desirable than one of straw, for
it can be renewed without the necessity
of cleaning out the stall more than
twice or thrice q week. Besides, the
leaves absorb the ammonia more rap
idly shan straw, and can be more
thoroughly worked over and trodden
into it and they also make the manure
of much more value for flower gardens,
as they are particularly rich in phos-
phoric acid, which is, next to ammonia,
the most highly treasured constituent
of plant growth.
Apply bed of leaves plentifully
around the roots of your vines, shrubs,
roses and all Towering trees, then throw
shovel of manure over them, and
next spring will show how beneficial is
their effect.-N. Il. Farmer.

ST. PAUL, August 23.-Gen. Custer,
in his report of the expedition to the
Black Hills, says:
referred in n former dispatch to
the discovery of gold. Subsequent eX
aminationsat numerous points confirm
and strengthen the fact of the existence
Of gold in the Black Hills and some of
the water courses. Almost every kind
of earth produced gold in small yields,
showing that quantities existed. Our

anything but very hasty exam nation
of the country in this respect, but in
one place, and only one within my

Early Planting.

That in four years out of five, early
planting or sowing yields the best Is q
fact pretty generally conceded. This
is true to a greater extent in South
western than in the Eestern or Middle
States. If we have drOuth in Missouri,
it is almost sure to catch the late crop.
For the last eight yeals we have not
seen a single failure in the corn where
the ground was well prepared and
worked, and planted before the 10th of
May. When the corn is planted on or
about the first Of May, it generally has
time to make itself before the dry
weather sets in. Let us then plant
our corn early; and i'm order that we
may do 50, let not an hour Of the
spring weather 60 unemployed. There
are hundred things demanding the
attention Of the farmer at this season.
II neglected now, they will consume
more valuable time before the spring
work is done.

As the warliEe element of the De

record carried him through, it may be
well enough to give it, as published in
the Nashville Union and american :
Col. Porter had the unlimited CON

ties of Assistant Adjutant General for
four years with the greatest ability and
promptness, and received the highest
commentators from General Cheat
ham as a courteous and chivarous
gentleman, an able and trusty officer,
as a gallant soldier in the field, and q
sagacious counselor in camp.
Col. Porter had three brothers in the
Confederate service; one was killed,
and his brother, Capt. ThOs. r Porter,
an officer in the old United States navy
greatly distinguished himself. Upon
the breaking out of the war he was on
the Pacific, but resigned and made a
hair-breadth escape into the COnieder-
acy, where he was at once assigned Ia
the Mike Burns Battery, which he
rendered famous in the battles at Fort
Donelson, at which place he was des
perately wounded and brought To Nash.

had charge of another fighting battery

was captured on board Of tue Florida
