Der certain man in Argos who ran for
Justice of Peace and was beaten i'm the
convention, and because of his defeat, got
mad and worked for the Democratic nom-
inee, heaping all manner of slang and
abuse upon the.man who opposed him in
the convention. Such is the case. Be-
cause of his defeat ut the convention he
literally sold himself to the Democratic
party. Should not this be sufficient cause
to justify the people in remembering him Z?
1t is well for the Republicans that the
real principle of the man was found out in
time, and his party thus saved the dis
grace of supporting such a man at the
polls. We do hope that we now have a
man in the Office who will not sell him
self for drink of rot gut, or any thing
else.

An Electric Shock.

One OF Plymouth's highly educated i'm
ported school marms wrote a note TO par
ent in this city last week requesting her
child be furnished with an Electric spelling
book.-ReDublican.
What of it, There was method in that
teachers madness; but where Ignorance
is bliss 'twere folly to be wise" Had not
the highly educated" editors of the Re
publican been so recently imported" they
would haye learned ere this, that even in
the schools of Plymouth, may be found
children, who, if they ever acquire knowl
edge of the photography of the English Ian
guage, will require the aid, not only of the
Electric spelling book" but of all The
electricity which can be generated by a
complete battery.
ONEoF THE IMPORTED.
Such an unexpected, piercing cleo
trio shock is more than we relish and
the imported editors" make their
best bow to the "THE IMPORTED" and
gladly retire from the field. As they
go, however, they cannot but wonder
who deserves to be pitied the more =
the poor children who must patiently
bear so many future shocks ere they
can acquire a knowledge OF the or
biography of the English language,
or we.

nonnds Of beef would be worth
twenty dollars. The manure from
the cake is worth. according TO the
chemists. over thirty dollars. The
hide and tallow would balance Tor
the trouble. Thus, for every ton
of this cake consumed, at twenty
five dollars, the farmer would make
in manure and meat, a proht OF
twenty-five dollars. The manurial
value of a ton of corn is a little
over five dollars; using the second
quality of this OF the cob, IN con-
junction with the cake, but little

intruders.
We ~apprehend the same fate for
the numerous native songsters in

we, several months ago, deprecated
their Introduction. AS there is an
abundance of concurrent testimony
to the mischievous results of their
Introduction, and not a single merit

We hope every member OF the
"Fair management" who has not
read, will read the well-tempered
and logical letter of W. IL. c., OF
Warren, in the last FARMER AND
MECHANIC. It's practical, good
sense must strike those who have
the interest of the FAIR at heart.
He estimates that had the Grand
Piano been put as a premium on
the best four acres in wheat" 1T
would have increased the crop SIX
ty-four thousand bushels" We do
not doubt but this approxlmates
what this premium would have &C
complished. But, for the sake of
being more than liberal, let us stew
it down to fifty thousand bushels
even let us put it down at twenty
five thousand bushels can the
management see how it could have
been better, agriculturally, expend-
ed? Twenty farmers IN a county
contending, might lead twenty
more to initiate their example, and
in course the yield double. 1t

tensive," that is the word we like
to see used, for in it the success of
our agriculture must, at last, be
held. When our people come to
understand its meaning, then will
our farming rise to a plane of profit.
By all means. let somethings'grand"

does need moving up the scale. 1t
is a blame, if not a disgrace, when
it is known that in some "experi-
ments made here, our yield has
not hardly been excelled. We have,
upon substantial authority, that in
Granville county, over sixty (60)
bushels have been raised in the old
fashioned rough and clinch" way

must be dealt with literally. By
all meal let the premiums be put
in the reach Of small farmers. The

unreasonable. Ten pounds is a
plenty. \. A. G..

WAY.

In a judicious use Of commercial
fertilizers, to a man with capital,
there remains some profit, but the
chemists and managers OF agrlcul-
tural stations will have to take an
other step up the agricultural lad
der before we can assent to the pro-
miscuous wholesale plan some Of
our farmers are inclined to pursue.
There is but one. crop to which we
would give our unqualified consent
for the use Of these manures, and
that is bright tobacco - to this
we believe they are almost a sine
qua nan. We are all we'll versed
in this method Of manuring, and
know quite enough of commercial
fertilizers. 1t does seem that with
peas for the East and clover for the
West, we ought to be independent.
But for farmers who do not fancy
these crops, and who, like a great
statesman, would ego out Of the
way to kick a sheep" there is still
another method Of enriching our
lands and producing maximum
crops. 1t is by means of ''purcha-
sed food" OF course stock are a
necessary feature of this plan. But
it would not require improved
stock. 1t costs but a trihe to raise
our cattle-such as they are-and
if a farmer did not care to raise
them they could be bought cheap.
Butchers buy them IN the fall, from
the fields, and make a handsome
profit. Farmers could buy them
as low, and, after using them as
machines through which to run
this purchased food, sell at a higher
profit. What "a blinded policy it
does seem for US to be sending to
some far off island for dung and
dead birds, with mixtures of doubt-
full value, thereby encouraging In
dustries in which we have no earth
ly interest. We let home enter
prises 60 unencouraged, and our
country is yearly depleted. Sup
posed some of us who occupy poor
lands were to invest in some of the
thirty-four millions of corr now
shipped from our country, and
