DR. STuRTEvANT's fourth paper on
"How to grow 100 bushels of corn
per acre. in the current number Of
Land and Home, treats of manuring.
The DR.. insists that experience and
reasoning unite in demanding that
the manure should be kept near the
surface, and for this reason recon-
mends that it be spread on the plowed
ground and narrowed in. No one
sentence in the article contains more
wisdom than this {: taking into con-
sideration the fact that the farmer
should each year cultivate more land
than his manure will cover, it is good
policy to keep the dung for the grass
and the grain, the potato field, the
orchard and the garden, and to buy
fertilizers for the corn.n
THE agricultural editor of the
DEMOCRAT acknowledges the receipt,
from the publishers of Land and
Home, of beautifully engraved copy
of Sir Edward Landseer's celebrated
painting, "Wild cattle of Chilling
ham," The study is nm exceedingly
interesting one to those whose tastes
lead them TO admire beautiful ami
mails. 1t represents magnificent
white bull, with COW and calf, of what
il supposed to be the native breed of
cattle of the British Islands. The
bull standing on high ground, facing
the observer, with bold front and
head erect, and the beautiful COW and
calf In the foreground, as If under
his protection; altogether, forming
m interesting picture of these useful
animals in their wild state. No de
scription can do justice to the strik-
ing effect, nicely Of execution, and
natural beauty of this picture. a

NEW CASTLE, June II, 1870.
The gutter at the intersection of
Union and Delaware streets has been
the cause of breating great number of
carriages. and should be put in better
order. Iron gutter plates are what is
wanted.
Delaware street from Market to Union
should be repaved. 1t is one of the most
used streets in this city. 1t is matter
that should be looked after by our City
Fathers. Pearl street is the one most
used by workmen in going to and com
ing from the Delaware Iron Works, and
from the gas works to midway between
the Delaware and the railroad, there is
no pavement, whilst other streets with
one-tenth the travel are curbed and paw
ed. Council ordered this work done
over month ago, and why it has not
been done is "one of those things which
no fellar can find out"
Last night we were visited by another
heavy rain, accompanied by terrific
winds. 1t was feared at one time that
great damage would be done.
The attendance at the State Medical
Society was quite large.
During the heavy part of last nights
storm, fire was noticed towards Hare's
Corner. learned that ii was the barn o
Mr.. Lyman, near Stanton.
A large number of men are now en-
ployed in sorting berry crates at the bat
terry.
Work has been begun on the rive

which fact is a guarantee that it will b'

Marrying a Governor.

The recently-elected governor of the Indians at Pete Dana's Point, near Ca- lais, Me-, is, or was, unmarri ed. The Indians allow no such conditions to last, 50 steps were taken to marry him. The process is unique. Two of the tribe were constituted a committee to get him wife. He braided seven straws to. gether and gave them to the committee. They went to Pleasant Point and assem bled all the squaws in their hall in a circle. One of the committee marched around the circle shaking horn full of shot, while the other carried the braided straw and sang solemn song or chant. After several times marching around, the braid was presented to the maiden selected for the governors wife. The first choice refused to marry him by throwing the braid on the floor. So the ceremony was repeated and second choice made, and this time the fair one was willing and retained the braid. Then the committee sent for the gov. ernor to meet the destined bride in Ca- lais. He came on the train.

On Decorations.

The Committee on Art and Decoration, of the Detroit Lime Kiln Club, submit. ted their fall report, saying that there was no great change in busts, no altera- tions to speak of in landscapes, and that oil paintings were still used to consid- erable extent in decorating certain rooms.
 After the report had been accepted and filed and Samuel Shin reprimanded for splitting on the stove, Brother Gard ner said |:
 "It am we'll huff to keep track of art, an none of us am so poor we can't decorate jist leetle bit. De time may come when ebery member of dis club will be able to hev paintins by de ole masters and busts by de young ones, from de front doah clar back to de last nail in de woodshed. Meanwhile, I shall hev my own ideahs on dis subjeck. I shall decorate my kitchen dis winter wid at least two big smoked hams. De cellar will be decorated wid ten bushels of 'taters, heaps of onions and turnips. and about barrel of pork. In place of bust of Cato I shell hev a crock of butter, instead of bronze cupid shall lay in few of dem Hubbard squashes and de ole woman will put down some pickled peaches. I frow dis ont as a gentle hint to de committee dat it am powerful hard work to see de beauties of fousana dollar paintin' when you've got an empty stomach. ."-FTee Press.

Tie Floods in Spain.

The southeastern corner of Spain is suffering from a dreadful calamity. A hurricane on the night of Tuesday, the 14th inst, caused the rivers to overflow and rise several yards during the night, and whole villages were swept suddenly away. The district devastated by the floods extends from Valencia to Murcia and 8 portion of Andalusia, the most fruitful and luxuriant regions of Spain. We have, as yet, only very bare idea of the loss of life and property. One authority says that the total damage is estimated at twelve million dollars. Three thousand five hundred houses and hundred and twenty mills have been destroyed. Two thousand people have lost their lives. These are the bare figures brought us by the cable; the terrible details of the disaster arc yet to be revealed. AS in the case of the Szegedin disaster, the great-hearted world is ready to come to the relief of the sufferers, not only in expressions of sympathy, but in much needed contri- buttons. King Alfonso initiates Kaiser Franz Joseph in going to the scene of disaster, in contributing good sum of money, and thoughtfully asking that the bodies intend to contribute toward the celebration of his marriage shall be de. devoted to the relief of the sufferers. The Pope has given six thousand francs, and a rich inhabitant of Alicante has given no less than $400,O0O. The Span ish Consul General in New York has started subscription list and arrange ments have been made for contributions to be taken in all tn large cities of the United States. Similar subscriptions are being opened in all the large cities of Europe, and those who are able will undoubtedly open wide their purse strings. The Spanish Government will do wise thing if, after looking to the relief of the sufferers, it cause an official inquiry to be made into the origin of this terrible disaster. The causes will not be difficult to ascertain. The sud den storms that como up with the au- tumn from the Mediterranean rarely fail to bring loss of life in their train through the provinces now devastated. Though these districts are remarkably fruitful, where, in some parts, the ''val- leys teem with fruit-laden trees, and 1aurels and oleanders literally grow in the gutters," it will probably be found that the tablelands have been denuded of their forests; that culture has been extended at the expense of the natural regulators of the rainfall, and that the present disaster is chiefly the result o1 this universal deforestation.

companied by the officer bearing dis patches, they set out for Helpmakaar. The evening shadows were lengthening as they entered and rode through the streets of that town, and soon they were received with warm welcomes beneath the roof of the good missionary.
 Not long afterward, before these officers returned to their posts, they were called upon to witness the union of their Zulu comrade with his royal bride. The ceremony was performed by their friend Mir. B. in the words of the beautiful service of the English Church. And here let us leave them. They have set themselves resolutely to ths task of preparing for that labor of love which they feel certain God will in His own good time open up for them-a wide field of missionary work in their dear native land. Be it ours to pray for the success of all such noble hearts, and for the time when the swords of all the world snail be beaten into pruning hooks, and the nations study war no more

Military Discipline.

A letter from Mayence to the Fra'ak- .furter Zeitat,sg relates little incident of the man@uvres which follows harshly in the wake of festive accounts of the Elm peror Williams visit to Lorraine. A young Hussar who had been guilty of some military oversight was tied to a tree in punishment thereof. A com rade, seeing that the tightness of the straps was causing him pain, took ad- vantage, as he thought, of an unob- served moment, and loosened them a little. Unfortunately, however, he was discovered by an under officer, who took the liberty of boxing his ears, and the charitable young Hussar seems to have forgotten himself to the extent of return ing the blow. The under officer re- ported the offence, and the Hussar has been sentenced to five years incarcera- tion in a fortress, for breach of disci- pline which cannot but raise the offender in the esteem of his fellows.

Not a Saint.

Jacqueline Bosse, girl employed by a farmer in France to watch his sheep upon thu hillsides, arrived in state of great excitement few weeks ago at her masters house and informed him that while she was looking after the sheep a man had taken her into a wood and shown her light burning in fir tree, and that she had there received visit from the Blessed Virgin Little atten- tion was at first paid to her story; but she repeated it with slight variatione, and said that the Virgin had enjoined her to ask for money to build a chapel on the spot where she had first mani fested her presence. Several people came in the hope of seeing the same vision and though the Virgins presence was not visible to them, they all heard her conversing with Jacqueline Bosse. Miracles of certain kind were also per formed, and child dug up some haricot beons at spot where Jacqueline said that she would be certain to find them. These strange proceedings at length reached the police; and one day when about 1,5OO persons had assembled in the expectation of witnessing fresh prodigies, they arrested the youthful visionary, who confessed that she had been making use of her talents as ven- triloquist to mystify the public, and that she had done so in the hope of be- ing received into convent. She still maintained, however, that she had been instigated to do this by the person whom she described at first as coming out of 8 wood and giving her glass of white wine but the tribunal gave no more credence to his than to the supernatural part of the story, and sent her to re- formatory for six years.
