Brad|ey's Phosphate
will raise good crops with
Peacham, Vt.

PeAcham, VT.
The general opinion of the farm
ers in this section, who have tested
the different fertilizers in the mar
ket is, that Rradley's Phosphate is
the best, and my experience con-
vinces me that that is the true YER
dict. In the fall of 1877, l broke
up a piece of moving that did not
produce hay enough to pay for the
cutting; last spring l applied 800
lbs, of Bradley Is Super.phosphate
to the acre broadcast, and narrowed
it in, then marked off the rows 81
feet apart, and planted to corn,
using 200 lbs. more of the Phos.
phate to the acre in the hill. I hOed
the corn only once, aud harvested
lao bushels of corn to the acre. The
fodder will pay for the labor, which
leaves me the corn for the Phos-
plate. This old land manured with
phosphate only, produced more
corn than good land near my build
ings where applied barn-y ard ma
nure plowed in, and hog and cattle
manure in the hill. The fodder on
the last mentioned lot was of a lit
tie heavier growth, but less corn.
Yours truly,

Messrs. Eaton & Co.,,
Gentlemen

Gentlemen:
] have purchased from you
for the past four years, Brad
ley's Phosphate, which l have
used with satisfactory results.
Have used it on Corn, POta-
toes, Vines and Garden Veg
etables. To test it's worth ]
planted three acres Of Corn,
one-half the piece l manured
with a fair dressing, the 9TH
er half I used a table spoon
full of Phosphate in the hill.
When the corn was harvested
there was no perceivable diff
ference in the quantity of
coru or fodder. Where the
Phosphate was used it came
forward faster and ripened
ten days earlier. On Potatoes
where no manure was used
the yield was much larger
where Phosphate was applied
in the hill. For vines and
vegetables it has no equal in
my opinion. I intend to use
more than ever before, the
present season, as the season
is late it will require concen-
trated manure to forward the
crop. Many farmers have
condemned all commercial
manures, they having been
cheated by worthless ar
ticles, which are constantly
being thrown upon the mar
ket. The motto should be:

is expected that the President will
promptly veto it, and that the mes

There is another short chapter oil
new discoveries in relation to the
Dexter bank mystery. An exami-
nation shows under date of Octo.
Der 20, 1877, two charges of money
paid, namely $500 to Mrs. Crafts
of Dover, Maine, on her deposit
account, and $500 to d. II. Straw,
of Guilford, as a loan on real estate.
They found under date of Novem-
Der IL, 1877, credits of money re.
ceived from the same parties for
the same amount as charged above.
The regular November examination
by the bank examiner interviewed
between these dates. Discovering
that no such entries were made on
the deposit book held by Mrs.
Crafts, the bank officials were moved
to investigate. They now have the
affidavit of Mrs. Crafts that she
drew no money and paid no debts
on the dates named, and the affida-
Wit of Mr.. Straw that he never bor-
rowed from or paid money to the
Dexter savings bank on the dates
named, or any other. 1t is asserted
that these fictitious charges aud
credits were made by Mr.. Barron
to tide the bank over the NOvem-
ber examination, the same in con.
nectiOn with which the alleged false
oath was made. This statement
from the bank has called out anOth-
er from Mr.. Wheeler, Of Dexter
who says that at the time of MIR.
Barron's death and for long time
thereto he had 81 100 in
U. s. bonds deposited with Mr..
Barron for safe keeping; that he

into money and use it himself or
loan to any other person when he

Mr.. Barron had available funds at

or him to change off in the manner
llleged for want of cash. |

Californin's New COnsti tn ii Oh

In spite of the active opposition
Of the party of property and capital
the people of California have pro
noanced at tho polls in favor of the
constitution framed by the party O
labor. The influence of this decis.
ion on the future of the State can
not fail to be highly important be
cause at stroke it changes the
conditions which have controlled
the re lations of capital and labor in
California since the admission Of
that prolific territory as a State of
the Union. Two leading features
of the new constitution deserve
special notice-namely, the provis.
ions relating to taxation and the
Chinese question. Under the
general head of property" every
interest in the State representa-
capital in any form comes under
the shadow of the taxgatherer. The
workingman who deposits his saw.

general revenue. The Chinese are
