The merits of clover as a fertilizer
cannot be too strongly praised. Clover
roots down, and brings up to itself the
most beneficial elements of the sub
soil. These elements are plowed
into the upper soil with the clover,
without bringing up the unnecessary
and useless elements of that subsoil.
1t feeds strongly, but it gives back
more than it takes. 1t is the great
rooter. If we were limited to clover
as fertilizer or to some other one fer
tilizer, it would be hard not to choose
clover. If we wanted to rest piece
of land for year or so we should sow
clover and turn sheep on it, and it
would rest, not only without loss, but
with large proft.-N. Y. Herald.

Who Pays the Funeral Expenses!

In Darmody's estate it was held by
the Orphans Court of Philadelphia that
a surviving husband is primarily liable
for the expenses of wife's funeral
suitable to the rank and fortune of the
husband. Although the undertaken
may in such case recover from the
executor of the deceased wife, the exc
cutor may in turn recover from the
husband. And this rule is not affected
by the fact that the wife left a separate
estate, nor that the wife is given by law
the exclusive possession and control of
her separate estate. In Smylcy against
Reese it was decided, that although by
the statute of Alabama married wo-
man is entitled to the exclusive use and
ownership of her separate estate free
from any claim or control of her hus-
band, and the husband is not liable for
her debts, yet the husband, as at COM
mon law, is bound to pay the wife's
funeral expenses, and cannot claim re-
endorsement therefor out of her estate,
nor for monument which he erected
at her grave. This liability rests on
the same ground as his liability for the
wife's support while living, from which
the married woman's statutes have in
nowise released him; and it is no
limited to furnishing the means of q
burial which shall conform merely to
the requirements of public decency.
In jenkins against Tucker, the wife
having died while her husband was
abroad, her father directed and paid
the expenses of her burial. The hus-
band having upon his return refused to
pay the father, suit was brought. 1t
was held, all the Judges concurring,
that under such circumstances IS a third
person who voluntarily pays the ex.
penses of q wife's funeral Suitable to
the rank and fortune of the husband),
though without the knowledge of the
husband, may recover from him the
money so laid out" In BERTHE against
Lord Chesterfield the estate of the hus-
band in possession of his devisee was
charged with the pay ment of the testa-
tors wife's funeral expenses. In that
case it should be observed the husband
died after the wife's funeral, for it has
been held that the husbands estate is
not liable for the wife's funeral ex-
penses. following the principle that q
wife's authority to bind the husband is
revoked by his death.-Albany Law

A Mystery Explained.

Parlor scene: Mrs. Brown, who has spent
the summer among the White Mountains in
search of health, and who seems to have
searched the whole mountain side without be-
ing able to find a pair of blooming cheeks or
an inch of healthful skin: Mrs. White, who
has remained at home because her husband
could not afford to 90, but whose fresh COM
plexion and bright eyes seem to have caught
their bloom and brightness from mountain
breeZes.

are looking! If you will not think me i'm
pertinent, let me ask how you can keep 80
healthy in this dreadful city? have been to
the White Mountains, 90 there every summer,
in fact, and can't keep off the DOCTORS list at
that.
Mrs. w. (smling)-I'n tell you the whole
secret, Mrs. Brown. You remember how
poorly was last spring, some days even being
confined to my bed. DIR. - told Mr..
White to send me to the mountains but
knew he couldn't afford it, and tried DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Its effects
were SO marvellous that also tried his Golden
Medical Discovery, to cleanse my system. In
my opinion, one bottle of the Prescription
and the Discovery is better than six weeks of
the White Mountains for sick woman. 1
have only been out of the city q week during
the whole summer; then my husband and l
went to Buffalo and stopped at DR.. Pierce's
mechanical apparatus for treating patients
accommodations were better than we had at
Long Branch last year, and the drives and
scenery are superb. Let me advise you to
use DR.. Pierce's FavOrite Prescription, and
try the 1nvalids' and Tourists Hotel next
summer instead of the White Mountains.

Egsu, ,s t6s nqtfer With the Rerchontss

The announcement by telegraph yes terdey, of ,he failure of Guindani & Co, Of Florence, leads us to make the above query, and to remark that just now there seems to be a sort of panic among the merchants of the Territory ". It is only few weeks since 4. w. Stowe, of Tombstone and Charleston had to give up his business entirely, and surrender all his property to his creditors. John Young, Of Greater vile, has lately met the same fate. J. 5
 Collins, of Camp Thomas, now has his property under attachment for sums amounting to more than can be real ized from it. On the heels of these come Guindani t Co.,, and we learn that other suits have been commenced and attachments issued against other merchants and dealers in this county, and inasmuch as this is preeminently country of long and easy credits, we can but regard the issuance of attach ments against merchants for debts made for goods as preliminary to their complete ruin. Just why this state of things should exist we do not see, un- less it be that too much credit is given 10 the consumer, for prices are gener- ally good, and expenses small, to out side merchants. We hope there is no disposition on the part of the larger merchants tO crowd their customers, because we are aware of the fact that our attachment laws put il in the pow CT of creditors to crush Q debtor in ,very short order if they choose to do so. We sympathize with the men who are developing trade in the outlying dis :ricts, generally with small capital, and with many peculiar difficulties, and hope their debtors and creditors may both come 10 their assistance in every way possible to prevent their be ing broken up and stripped of their little accumulations.
