TOP DRESSING.

This is one method of restoring fail
ing meadows, very generally practiced
and, where there is good sward and
the land is not too dry, perhaps there is
no better mode of treatment. But we
consider these two requisites of much
Importance in securing a good result.
Personally we find but little use in top
dressing dry upland meadows. or where
there is but scanty sward, unless it be
on newly seeded ground when the plan
works we'll. On land that is somewhat
moist, an occasional application of ma
nure produces excellent results, and will
be much better mode of treatment
than ploughing and re-seeding. 1t is
generally advised to apply manure to
meadows as soon as possible after the
crop of hay is removed. If the weather
is damp or rainy this practice will BE-
found to work well, but if very dry but
little benefit will be perceived, until
the rain commence to fall. Manure
may be put on at any time during th,
fall or even early winter with advan
tage, but If applied early in the season
and an aftergrowth of grass started up
this will serve as mulch during the win
ter for the protection of the roots, anc
a double object gained.

THE BOYS FIRST START IN LIFE

Many years ago a gentleman from
Methuen, Mass, while on a visit to
prominent merchant in Boston, was ask
cd by tho merchant if he knew a boy in
Methuen that he could recommend to
work in his store. At first the gentle
man could think of no one, for he knew
none but faithful. honest boy would
suit the thrifty merchant. At length,
however, he called to mind boy of ex-
cellent character in the Deighborhood ;
but he feared he would hardly do, as
his parents were very poor, and he had
no education or other advantages to fit
him for such position. But the dis
cription of the boys habits pleased the
merchant so much that he handed the
gentleman dollar with which to pay
the boys fare to Boston by stage, and
requested him to send the lad to the
city and if on personal interview all
hOuld not prove satisfactory, he would
pay his fare back home again.
The gentleman, as requested, visited
the boys parents, and, stating the mer-
chants proposal, advised them to send
the boy for trial. He then gave the
dollar which was sent to pay his fare to
Boston. and departed.
Under similar circumstances ninety
nine out of every hundred boys would
have said, 'Now for good time |
never saw city, and never rode in a
stage. Oh, there will be so much to
see, and it will be such long ride, and
money sent to pay my fare p Not SC

His mother patched up his clothes al

home, and set out on his long tramp t.
the great city, which he reached tire,
and dusty, little before sunset.

a Cha NICE.

Morgantown offers irst-class OPP
portunity for some enterprising par
ty to locate a wooden factory. Nor
gantown is located in the midst of a
fine wool country. Every year Mon
ongalia exports thousands of pounds
of wool, and if our farmers desire to
have their wool manufactured into
cloth they must go a long distance to
have it done. There are mills of this
class in our neighboring counties
that do well, and we have no doubt
it would do even better here. We
venture that suitable building could
be had here with steam power. This
being the case it would require much
less capital to establish it than where
the projectors must build and furnish
a suitable building. In connection
with this carding machine might be
attached that would add to the pro-
fits. Let some enterprising man, who
wants to make a fortune, step to the
front.

CIarIxsburg.

BY the way, it may not be known
to the readers of the NEW DOMINION
that Gen. John G. jackson, Of Clarks-
burg, then a large manufacturer of
iron and salt in w. Va, was the first
to move for the improvement of the
Monongahela river. Over so years
ago, by his enterprise and energy, he
procured the passage. by the Legisla-
ture of Virginia of an act appropri-
ating $50, 900 for the improvement of
the Monongahela river by locks and
dams. Gen. jackson was superin-
tendent of the work and built two or
three dams on the West Fork below
Clarksburg, but owing to the INSULT
cheney of the appropriation or mex
perience in making such improve
ments the first big freshet washed out
the dams, and shortly afterwards
Gen. jackson died, and so this wor-
thy attempt to develop the mining
and timber interests of the Mononga-
hela Valley ended. Gen. j. greatly
in advance of the people and his con
temporaries, knew the want of a way
to market for our minerals and tim
Der, but his untimely death pat the
matter to rest, and it has rested ever
since, unless the location of the Cap
ital at Clarksburg brings forth an
other jackson who will push the i'm
provement of the upper Monongahe-
la. So much for Clarksburg man
in old times.

MoReANTowN has reputation for
morality. In our day we were taught
that respect for old age was one of the
chief elements Of morality. Now, if
this be true, Morgantown is sadly de-
ficient. Such an exhibition as was
given last Monday of the good(?)
sense, not only of boys, but of those
who claim to be men is, to say the
least, disgusting. An old man, peace
ably and quietly attending to his own
business, insulted and hooted at by
a lot of men and boys, as if he were
some strange, awful being from an
other cline. We remember to have
read once Of a somewhat similar case.
A man named Elisha was booted af-
ter by crowd of boys; the conse-
quences are probably familiar to
most, but for the benefit of those who
INDUCED Monday it will be repeated.
