Another terrible railway accident oc-
cured on the Michigan Southern and Lake
shore Railroad, near Ashtabula, Ohio, on
the evening ~ the 10th. The Pacific Elk
press train, comprising six coaches and two
drawing room cars, drawn by two locomo-
tiyes, left Erie for Cleveland one
hour late. About s p. m.
the train reached the bridge over
Ashtabula Creek, and, in passing over,
the bridge gave way, precipitating the
whole train, with the exception Of one To-
comotive, TO the frozen bed Of the stream,
IS feet below. The cars were completely
smashed In pieces; the Ice was broken
and portions OF the train sub
merged, while the remainder OF the
wreck took ire and burned. The night was
intensely cold; the sufferings OF the wound
cd were terrible, while II was almost inn
possible during the night TO recover the
dead and rescue the dying, who we're
fatally bruised, burned, or drowned.
About 80 OF the wounded managed TO
escape from the wreck, and were removed
TO Ashtabula, where they were tenderly
cared for. II was believed that from 70 to
100 lives were lost, but at the hour this dis
patch was forwarded II was impossible TO

WHAT is MOST PRoFITABLE.-In-
quiries are frequently made as to which
is the most profitable branch of farming.
It depends on several contingencies. In
some places corn-growing and pork-rais-
ing, in others wool-growing, and in 9TH
ers dairying are steadily profitable one
year with another. Where circumstan-
ces, such as rich corn land, healthful, dry
pastures, or abundant grass, with pure
water, favor one or the other of these
specialties, it is best to fall into them and
to keep to them. But for general pur-
poses special crops or employments are
rarely suitable, and mixed farming sthe
best reliance. This implies the culture
of roots, grass, and grain, chiefly for
feeding to the stock, and only partly for
sale. The aim must bs to distribute the
produce 30 that good portion comes
back as soil manure, and the soil is kept
improving constantly in fertility and
freedom from weeds The immediate
advantage can be taken of any excep-
tional condition of things, and if grain
does not pay, meat and wool may be
made, and if grain happens to be high, it
may be sold, and some cheaper feed be
bought to replace it. A sharp farmer
who has some capital, and can turn about
at short notice, will never be caught in a
poor year without at least average profit
from his characterization Agricul-
turist.

TOMATO CULTURE.-My plan of culti-
vation is as follows: I plough or spade
my ground deep-pulverize it thorough
ly, first having it very rich {; lay off four
feet each way, and with q shovel throw
out the earth to the depth of one foot,
which fill with a compost of hen manure,
unleached ashes and surface soil, putting
about an inch of soil on top, procure
stakes four feet long and drive down near
the edge of the hole; set plants in centre
of holes, which should be one foot in di-
ameter. As the plants grow tie them to
the stakes. Nov the main thing is to
stir the soil and pinch out all laterals or
suckers, like tobacco raisers do tobacco.
When plants get to top of stakes, pinch
out the tops; be sure to keep them we'll

pea vines, you are enabled to keep good
stock of cattle and horses, and make ma
nure enough to enrich your lands with
out purchasing commercial manures.-
Every county in the State, has for several
years past, averaged at least one hundred
thousand dollars in the purchase of COM
mercial manures. This will amount to
three millions of dollars. There is no
doubt that these manures have greatly
increased our cotton. crop, and enabled
us to grow cotton finely at feetof our noun
tains. But barn yard manure has proved
Just as successful in the cultivation of
cotton. 1t grows the weed just as we'll
and natures the fruit as early as the
phosphates do.
In order to save labor and trouble, have
your barns and stables, cribs and corn
sheds we'll arranged and convenient to
the house. Keep your stock we'll shell
tered in the winter and their manure will
pay for all your trouble and expense.
Moreover, you will have the pleasure OF
seeing your cattle look we'll and do with
less food.
It is our duty to be kind and strictly
Just to all of our tenants and hirelings.
This the rules and regulations Of your
Society require. The negro is in general
very grateful, but he is sensible to kind
ness, aud appreciates it. We have to
live together. He has had bestowed on
him in the Federal Constitution all the
rights and privileges of citizen. These
rights and privileges cannot be taken
from him, and we should endeavor to
make him as worthy of them as possible.
In doing so we are promoting our own
interest as we'll as his. But there is neith-
er Justice nor wisdom in wasting our kind
ness. We cannot afford to keep about us
those who are assisting rogues in stealing
from us, and bad men in expressing
and running the country.
It was hoped, and confidently expected,
that the election of Tilden and Hampton
would restore our country once more to
peace and prosperity. But the one has
been most infamously defrauded of his
election, and the other is still in contest
for his just and constitutional rights.
But do not despair of the Republic
Right will ultimately prevail, and our
country will be once more we'll governed,
prosperous and happy.
