AmInoniated Iganures.

Let farmers beware how they purchase
ammoniated manures. When we who
live in a wooded and cotton.grow ,ng
country buy ammonia, we commit as
great a folly us buying coal TO carry to
New Castle. This ingredient in the ma
nures we use is costly and constantly es-
Gaping. We have the material with us
to produce it in sufficient quantities and
at cost far less than what we now pay
for it. To do this requires some manage.
ment and industry. Let us inquire how
much of this costly ingredient is neces-
sary for q good fertilizer. Experience in
this, as in most matters pertaining to our
calling, is the best guide. A few years
since we were told that sixteen per cent.
of ammonia was needed TO make a first
oiRss manure; now two and half to
three per cent. next, will answer, none
that is, buy none from the manusac-
turer, / do not mean TO say that no
ammonia is necessary to the growth and
development Of plants and their fruit,
but that we should not buy it. We have
better and cheaper way to get it than
that. We have been taught by expe.
'ience that corn requires q different ma
nure. from cotton; that one manure is
not adapted for all plants. Il behooves
US, then, 70 study carefully this matter,
SO that we may apply our means and
labor to the best advantage, that nothing
may bb wasted. i.,j a;s.l z3,ss3
AS the time is near at hand when
farmers bur their fertilizers for the ensu-
ing year, propose in the next issue to
discuss fully this subject, in hopes that l.
may sa.- something that will benefit our
planting friends. L.

The Republicans are threatening to
investigate the right of General NJ. @.
Butler to his seat in the United States
Senate, but it il thought this is o bluff
game to prevent the Democrats from ex-
posing Kellogg. 1t viii hardly prevent
this Radical luminary from getting pre-
sented in his true light before the conn-
try. 1t is not thought that there is any
danger about Buffers seat, as If it was
declared vacant tho Democrats would
have the filing of tbs vacancy, while if
Kellogg sl:oald be unaeated It would
give the Democrats another Seaator; !;
hence, they can proceed against Kellogg
without running any risk.

SIDEWALK MEETING.

Saturday evening only fow persons interested in the sidewalk improvement assembled at the residence of Capt. Jo- seph Blackman. owing to slight sickness of some of the ladies and gentlemen, some of whom sent word that they could not attend. The president, MT. Edward Starr, was unable to be present, because of sickness. Mir. B. Booth was present, and gave the exact measurement of most of the walks to be laid and the cost for laying the same, either five or six feet wide. It Is probable that arran- gements will be made with Bridgeport firm, and the work commenced in a few weeks.
 There were no arrangements made for another meeting, but 1t is presumed that one will be called, and due notice given, just as soon as Mir. Booth and commit tee are ready to report definitely.
 Everything is favorable for a complete tinishing-up of all bad walks. Many who have not as yet acted in this matter are nevertheless interested, and have said that they would when the work Is commenced. They will also have con crete walks laid.

As this is the season of the year when the owners of property, and others hay ing dooryards, and gardens to clean gen. orally dispose of much of the rubbish by burlingit, we wish to call attention to the danger of building such fires too near the houses. We desire also to call attention to the law which forbids, under heavy .ponaltx building bonfire with in ten rodr of Newtoyn Street, or more properly, Msin street Many persons do not knaw that such is the law, yet law or no law the greatest caution should be used in building fires of this kind. for tAsre Is great danger from them.

We trust that this valuable institution will be remembered by parents who have sons and daughters. large enough to require advancement Roy. J. P. Hoyt and his assistant teachers arc fully qualified to give instruction. and 1t Is very creditable to them thatthe scholars who have been in attendance at this school speak 80 highly of their system of education, and discipline. To those living at distance we would say that there is DO better school than this ill this part of the State. It has m honor able record.

News is very scarce this week. Spring work is coming on. and the people have too much to dc to spend their time in public gossip. This Is no misfortune; 1t is far better for any commu- nity that all Its members be engaged in some thing useful, and that there never be any news of the ordinary kind, that Is generally retailed in places of Idle resort.
 We notice that there are many dogs still run. ming at large without muzzles. Some of them belong to our men iu authority, who should set Il better example to their poorer neighbors. |. looks like persistent and public contempt of tine law, and of the public authorities, who profiul, gated it. Any one who allows an unmuzzied dog to be at large of his premises Is liable to a fine of s7; an offense which It Is the duty of the grand jururs to prosecute. and any other per. son may do so, and have half of the fine. bc, sides, any person may kill such dogs and have si from the town treasury for his trouble, The Legislature, at its late session. passed law re- quiring tho owner, or keeper. of any dog to register him, and pay s tax of BIS for male dog, aud s6.i5 for female dog.
