YESTERDAY afternoon says the Titus
vile Courier, of 18th inst officers Miller
and Breed were called to a house on
Mechanic street, near the corner Of
Perry, where the "sound of revelry by
night" and also day had been heard by
the neighbors for a long time. Upon
entering the house, the officers found
one of the most dilapidated looking
place for human being to quarter, that
has ever come to their notice, where
any quantity of filth and very little furni-
ture were visible. Upon a miserable
apology for bed lay three woman in a
beastly state of intoxication, and setting
upon the bare floor, leaning her head
against a box, was an old woman at
least seventy years of age, also beastly
drunk. Sitting on box in another
corLer, Was the man of the house, intoxi.
Gated clear through. None of them
had scarcely clothing enough on their
person to cover their nakedness The
officers found it necessary to call into
service a dray, in which the whole
"party" were loaded, and rolling about
on the bottom of the wagon box, in an
unconscious condition, they were hauled
to the lookup when the process of un-
loading was commenced.

RIDGE SPRINGS-ARNS AND AM
MUNITloN BEING SHIPPED TO THE
SCENE FROM AUGUSTA, GA.
Augusta, August 1S.-Thcre was
cons iderable excitement here this after
noon, caused by reports OF an anticipa.
led fight between blacks and whites at
Ridge Springs, Edsfeld county, South
Gan olina, one hundred and iorty-two
miles from Augusta, on the line Of the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail
road. 4 party of armed whites lef'
here this afternoon to aid their white
friends, and others will follow in case q
conflict begins.
AT 8 o'clock all was quiet at Ridge
Springs, but a fight was anticil aztec
Both whites and blacks are arming tol
the fray. There is an uneasy feeling
that a war ofraces will begin in Soutf
Carolina. In that event the white peo
pie of Georgia, on the Savannah rive
will 90 to the rescue of the white people
OF South Carolina. Arms and ammuni
tion are being shipped frlm this cit.
Everything is quiet here, but there is
feeling OF serious trouble in South Caro-

Reducing the Timber Supply.

IMPORTANT ACTION OF THE DEAL
ERs AND PRODUCERS IN CoNvEN
TION AT CLEARFIELD.
Clearfeld, Pa, August, 1S.-A large
meeting of the square timber dealers
and producer of this and adjoining
counties was held here to-day, the Oh
ject being the adoption of such measures
as will reduce the stock the coming
season to the actual wants of the mar
ket next spring. The business before
the body was transacted with but little
delay, the discussion on the questions
raised being short, though animated.
The most important resolution agreed
to was one to reduce the amount of
square timber put in the coming season
to an amount not exceeding third OF
that put in last season.

AN exchange inquiries: Why acHl
people at the station persist in crowd
ing into the cars before the people in
the cars have come out. 1t creates jam
and causes i'll nature, profanity, crushed
bonnets and hoops, besides giving pick
pockets the best opportunity in the
world to practice their profession
There is no necessity for it, because the
cars are bound to allow reasonable
time for passengers to get aboard, just
as much as they are obliged to wait for
the baggage to be put on" 1t seems
singular to us that the railroad manag-
ers do not inaugurate a reform in this
matter. Let the people inside the car,
IN arriving at the station where they
T7ish to stop, get of the front end, and
let those wishing to leave the station get
en- at the hind end. BY so doing both
he debarkation and the embarkation
vould be accomplished much more rap
,idly and pleasantly than by the present
want of system. And the very slightest
ez ,rcise of authority by the train men
au station masters would induce pas
llengers very quickly to fall into the new
and most sensible way of getting on and
of the cars. We charge nothing Tor
| tie hint-not even free pass.

Sea Weed,

Having had much experience IN the use
of Seaweed of the several varieties. | will
endeavOr to answer your enquiries with
regard TO their value and uses rs manure.
Eel-grass which grows in harbors, on Il
muddy OF sandy bottom, not uncovered
at low water, is valuable for banking Gel
lars, covering cabbages &c, to protect
from frost during winter, or for bedding
for hogs. but contains little fertillzing
quality, and no power of fermentation ;
ii is also sometimes valuable to tighten
the soil for a potato crop. kelp, the larg-
est of the sea plants, has stem about an
inch in diameter, with broad leaf six or
eight inches wide, and from six to twenty
feet III length. including the stem. This
is a very valuable manure; when put in
4 heap, rapid fermentation ensues; there
fore it becomes powerful agent in the
compost heap; and can there be used at
the greatest advantage. A compost heap
made up OF meadow mud and kelp. in al
ternate layers Of a foot each, thoroughly
worked, will make 4 manure of equal
value with stable manure kelp may
prottably be used as a top dressing for
grass in a wet season, or on low lands;
in a dry season it does no good but may
be positive injury Fine crops Of pota
iy from the ocean; 5 HIST It IS 'espeeially adaHt=
ed to cabbage and mangold wurzel crops.
Seventy three tons Of mangolds were once
grown upon Deer Island, Boston Ilarbor,
by Thomas +. Payson. by 4 bountiful ap-
plicaton of kelp alone, probably the larg-
est crop on record. have frequently
grown between fifty and sixty tons per
acre, with no other manure. The various
sea moses that grow in large quantities
upon rocks in the ocean, and are together
with the kelp ruthlessly torn from their
beds in 4 storm and cast upon the shore,
are of about equal value with kelp and
for the same crops. Rockweed, which
grows upon rocks that are uncovered at
every low tide is probably Of more value
for manure than any other variety, and
may be used in the same way as kelp for
the same purpose, but is more useful as a
top dressing B. p. Ware, Mass Plough

Liouid Grating Wax.

A. the season of grating and trimming
is at hand the following formula for
making Letort's Liquid Grating Wax,
which has been lately highly commended
IN France, will be acceptable Until
lately the formula was kept secret and
the preparation sold at 4 high price. All
who have ussd it speak of it as the best
preparation for covering wounds in trees
that has ever been invented. The follow
ing IS the formula Of preparation as print
ed in The llorticulturist
"Melt one pound Of common rosin over
a gentle fire. Add to il an ounce of beef
tallow and stir it well Take it from the
fire, let it cool down a little and then mix
with it tablespoonful Of spirits of turpen-
tine, and after that about seven ounces Of
very strong alcohol (65 per cent? to be
had at any druggists store. The alcohol
cools it down SO rapidly that it will be
necessary to put it again on the fire, stir
ring it constantly. Still the utmost care
must be exercised to prevent the alcohol
from getting inflamed. 10 AVOID 1t the
best way is to remove the vessel from the
fire when the lump that may have been
formed commences milling again. This
must be continued till the whole IS q
homogeneous mass similar to honey

phere in a thin coat, it assumes whltlsh
color, and becomes as hard as stone, being
impervious to water OF air, >
