The payment of bills is one ofthe first duties

in this respect will prevent tho loss of time and

GRoUNDLEss FEARs.-The fears of the Ga
zette In regard to the admission Of colored chill
dren into The public schools, are altogether UNI
necessary. Where the colored people are suf-
fciently numerous they will prefer to have
schools of their own, just as the colored people
perfer TO have churches of their own. Where
there are only two or three colored families In
a district we do not see that any one would be
greatly hurt by their children having bacK
seat In the district school, just as the colofed
people have seats In some Of our churches. The
members of st. Andrews, and tile Second Bap-
list Churches of this city, are not injured by
the colored people In the gallery, and the men
who went to school in their boyhood with color
ed children, are just as good In every respect
as those who did not. There will be no trou-
BILE about the matter unless demagogues make
1t, and the attempt to alarm the people Is aim
ply ridiculous.
FARMING. We drect the atten tlon of farm
tiers to the article treating on "Clover as 3 Fer
illzer,' on the opposite page. II clover has
really such beneficial effect on the soil would
it not be good policy to have clover follow the
'"'' eioPt anu t"oH Piow ny tuo stHle tOr wheat
the next autumn, instead Of pursuing the pre-.
sent course of corn, oats and wheat. We think
the hint worth acting on, at any rate for few
seasons. Our friend, Charles A. Murphey,
adopted this plan Of sowing clover on his oats
field, and breaking up sod for wheat, and his
success in growing large crops is admitted to
have. been remarkable on what was formerly
known as one of the poorest farms In Cecil Co.
tie raised one season over thirty-six bushels to
the acre, when many farmers In the vicinity
nal not len. The great crop OF Mr.. Cooper,
hear Whitaleysburg, Kent Co., was also grown
on clover sod. In England three white crops
in succession is considered Improbable, and |
crop of turnips grass Is recommended as adj |
vsable between the barley and wheat. We |
should to hear the opinion Of some of our farm.
