The Acid Work. Esrzlv 4.

About O'Clock yesterday morning He
Carson Acid Works were discovered 10
be in q blaze. The whole building ass
wrapped in flames at once, 80 !. seemed.
OF coarse the entire structure with al
its contents was destroyed. This is the
second destruction by fire of an acid
factory on the same ground. Tie pres
ent building was built by Joint stock
company At cost OF about IL, 0oo, and
was doubtless the completes. establish
ment Of its kind in this State i not On
the coast. It's capacities fox the produc-
ton Of sulphuric acid and blue-stons
were very considerable and all the ap-
pointments Of the factory were on a
very extended scale, it even being pro-
vided With q battery OF several stamps
for crushing the copper ore used on the
premises. The stock is divided into
1000 shares OF these Mr. Duffy owns
one-third. Mr.. Adolphus Watt one-third,
Mr.. George ellison one-sixth. and Mr..
Felix Merzbach oue-sixth. In the cham
Der were no less than one thousand car
boys of acid worth about $40 per csrboy.
In the watts were about II 600 pounds of
blue-stone worth 10 cents per pound;
and besides the acid mentioned as being
in the chamber there were ) tons of
high proof sulphuric acid for making
blue-stone. This was worth about $3.50
per ton. Then there were tons of
nitro worth 500 per ton, and II tons of
sulphur worth $50 per ton. This would |
make an aggregate Of stock worth about |
$13, 600. Thus building and stock
taking these estimates which we get |
from one Of the stockholders, were worth |
about $50, 900. This was insured, alto
gether, stock and all. for $25, 900 in
several companies Mr. Duffy, we be-
lieve has gone to Humboldt county.
This loss is a great one to the town, for
the factory which was an excellent one
will hardly be rebuilt. As to the fire
having been set by some malignant per-
son, there can be no doubt of it. Mr..
Stimson the night Waterman employed
there left the premises about 4 30; and
be had hardly been gone half hour
when the building was mass of flames.
When shall We catch and adequately
punish one of these devilish villains
who set fire to house in the dark:

THE ALARM OF FIRE which took place
last evening about s o'clock was occa-
stoned. SO we learned, by the burning of
something or other in Mercedes old
house Wherever that is. The cause
OF the alarm was e1tinguished before
much damage had been done, and the
services of the fremen were not called
into requisition. A fire last evening
would have been = serious thing. the
wind being high. The alarm caused
tremendous excitement, and Carson
street was alive with q very numerous
and lively crowd.

end OF the Valley yesterday brought in
loads of produce to be shipped from
Carson by the V. 4 T, r. Il. AZ contri-

Among the names of the donors are
Messrs. Gatswooa, Muserove, Lever,

which the sol! is composed. Yet
there is something besides this
that is important; some OF this is
known, and some is entirely in
the dark. Who knows, for instance
what causes the superior quality
of tobacco raised in some soils APP
parently the same as the eontigu-
ous land which produces an inferior
kind! This is common in the
island of Cuba, where our best
tobacco is grown; also an inferior
quality.
So, eminently with grapes. The
same grapes does much better in
some sections-this often depen-
dent of the climate. The grare
lsome sorts) will also grow thrifty
but bear little in some sections;
in others do remarkably and uni
formly well, improving the quality.
There is some element unknown
that has an effect. All this, and
much more that might be said on
this head, shows that a soil, in or
der to know its capacity, must be
tested.
Hence a local knowledge Of farm
ing is indispensable to success.
Books point only in a general way.
A complete science of agriculture
acquires knowledge Of the local
tiles. Of science in the result Of
knowledge. 1t will therefore be
seen how much there is to do for
the farmer; he must rely on him
self, see and note accurately. We
have seen this beautifully illustra-
ted in cases that we know of. Only
the best heads are the best farmers;
and these not necessarily the best
educated, but always and necessari-
" those who have the best acquain-
lance with their soil. The two,
q local and general knowledge,
combined, are the highest requisite.
Then thorough work and success
is assured, making farming q
safe and profitable thing, as well
as o very pleasant and agreeable
occupation.

To Clean Last Years Silks.

For the remaking Of last years
black silks, may be recommended
an excellent mode of cleaning
Rub each breadth carefully with o
wooden cloth to get the dust from
the surface, then sponge it off with
water in which one or two black
kid gloves have been boiled, q
quart Of water for pair Of gloves +;
iron while wet, with extremely hot
irons, on the wrong side. For
colored silks the same colored gloves
to be boiled. For this purpose it
is well to save old kid gloves Of all
colors. Another mode tried with
great success is the same process
of rubbing Of the dirt with WOOL
en- rag; then mix an equal quanti-
ty OF cold tea and vinegar, with
which the silk is washed by rub
bling 1t with a piece Of flannel. II
must be made very wet. Smooth
the silk carefully, folding It, and in
about fifteen minutes iron II on
the wrong side with very hot irons.
This applied to black silk, black
ribons, cravats, etc, but might DO
lipinIious 10 colors.

A Local knowledge Of Farm
ing.

There are truths that apply to
all soils. But there are also truths
and they are many-that apply
only to localities, and these differ
according to locality. Hence book
knowledge has only general APP
plication. There must be a know
ledge Of the particular soil worked.
This can only be acquired by prac-
ticc--by working the coil and
noting its effects. Analysis will

POmerOy & Jackson Mineral Railway.

The evening of the 22d inst. meeting
called at the Court House in behalf of
the P. & J. II. Railway organized by
making Hon. B. Kahn chairman and
Irvine DUNCAN secretary.
S. Dana Horton, of Pomeroy, was in
troduced and spoke at some length of
the prospects of Narrow-Gauge Railway
from Pomeroy to Jackson.
He explained an arrangement that had
| been effected with the Atlantic q Erie R.
R., by which the projected NarrowGauge
could use the roadbed and ties of the A.
q E. Road by paying taxes and keeping
up repairs, for five years, and use it ff-
teen years longer upon paying yearly
reasonable rent not exceeding t per cent.
upon half cash valuation to be made
yearly by arbitration. He said the ques-
tion with Pomeroy was by what line could
they quickest reach the Portsmouth
Branch, and which line would raise the
most money, and that Pomeroy would
take no part in whatever contention
over the question of route
might spring up, but would extend
welcome and a helping hand to whoever
met them first at Wilkesville
Levi DUNCAN spoke briefly of the diff
Guilty of obtaining subscriptions without
a definite route being agreed upon in ad-
vance.
Mr. Mackley said he was the only man
in the United States who fights Changers,
and believes railroads are the great de-
velopers and civilizers of the age.
J. NJ. Watts made liberal speech call
ing upon his neighbors to build the P. &
J. NJ Railway, and promising to divide
his limited means to that end himself
Isaac Brown moved the appointment
of committee to solicit stock on the
southern route to Pomeroy by way of
Buckeye Furnace and Wilkesville. The
committee consisted of Lot Davies, Eben
Jones, j. C. II. Cobb, Elias Crandall, j.
H. Stephenson, Isaac Brown and Thomas
NJ. Jones.
Thomas NJ Jones said it vas only a
question of whether we had any money
for the East end of the road and if we
had he was in favor of raising it and get
ting whatever route we could
H L. Chapman said he thought it a
bad time to agitate the question of route
at this time; that he thought Jackson
had better wait till the West end was
success, before engaging in a
contest over which route we should take
to continue to Pomeroy.
Eben Jones enlivened the occasion with |
some amusing remarks. The meeting |
adjourned with an understanding that |
the committee should meet at the call of
the chairman.
