DRUAIOkE ITEMS.
From Our Regular Correspondent

From Our Regular Correspondent.
A most pleasurable and brilliant occa
sion was last Thursday evening at the fine
country residence of Washington House
keeper, esq.,. at Chestnut Level. it being a
birthday party in honor of Mr.. House.
keepers step-daughter, Miss Annie Alex
ander. Miss Alexander was the recipient
of a large number of varied, useful and
beautiful presents; betolsening the high
esteem with with which she is regarded
among her numerous friends and relatives.
a large number Of the guests, besides a
goodly home supply, were from Philadel-
phia, Lancaster and Pottstown, and COM
prised company of fashion, intelligence
and refincment-yes, and beauty, such as
the country seldom witnesses.
The refreshment table was an acmo of
good taste and good tastables, of which
the company showed a just appreciation
by its enthusiastic patronage. And the
great kitchen with its smooth and waxed
floor was just the place to do justice to the
excellent music as the hours were danced
away. There were all kinds Of dances,
from the very latest waltz, or
"Cotillion brent new frac France"
down to Irregular hoe down. with which
the festivities ended, having run two
lengths into the Z" wee sma hours O. night"
Just before dispersion Mr.. Sanders Collins
accompanied on the piano forte by his
sister Mary, entertained the guests by an
excellent vocal rendition OF ga Flower
from My Angel Mothers grave" after
which another gentleman sang a humorous
song entitled Handy Andy, - and won
the applause of his delighted audience.
Miss Alexander should be congratulated
upon the successfulness and refinement of
her party, and most certainly has the
united well wishes of those who were so
fortunate as to be participants in her royal
entertainment, and their hopes, that may
not be altogether unselfish, that she may
see many returns of the day."
What VIC all consider as one of the most
outrageous proceedings that has disgraced
our neighborhood for a long while, and
stirred up more honest and outspoken
indignation for the act, was the seizure by
the Brown heirs of a lot of tobacco, in
all what was grown on about fourteen
acres, hanging in the buildings situated
on the Brown quarry property at Peach
most Of tho tobacco, but portions o it arc
and others. They were given verbal per-
heirs to use the buildings, which are now
no longer used IN the manufacture of
slate, to hang their tobacco, aud now it is
attached for about twenty four hundred
dollars rent due them by Mr.. Harry Yard,
of ofPhiladelphia, who owns part of the
quarry and has the Brown interest leased.
The Sheriff will sell the tobacco next
Friday. Wc who believe in the unwrittcn
law of right cannot exactly associate the
proceedings with justice.
Mrs. Susan Ernhart, wife of Joseph
Ernhart, died last week and was buried at
Chestnut Level Sunday.

NIGHTFALL.

The hush of twilight, far and wide,
Fails on the green and slopinR meadows;
All tremulous the aspens stand.
BY way-worn zephyrs lightly famed.
Where the clear brOoxIets mimic tide
Sweeps onward to the shadows.
All day it's sun-tiecked ripples flow
Through pastures strewn with hay and
clover:
Through lonely glens where alders lean
To kiss the dimpled waves, unseen,
And sweet wild roses blush below
The brambles dropping over!
By this low bridge and moss-grown fence,
In fitful mood its music tarrles;
While tuted beach-leaves wide dispread,
And circling swallows overhead
Move lightly, till eOch wavelet hence
Some fair reflection carries.
Up the broad shoulders of the hills
Soft twilight shadows climb and darken;
But on their faces, westward set,
A smile of sunset trembleS yet.
And there throstle sings, and thrills
The world below TO hearken!
Far off the cuckoo's plaintive call,
Scarce separate from the silence, fngers'
In shadowland the blossoms sleep,
Where white-robed mists arise to keep
Their nightly watch, caressing all
With silent dewy fingers.
The stars peep forth, the afterglow
Fades slowly out behind the larches;
The birds are hushed-save one that seems
To chirp a little in his dreams
When outcast breezes family blow
AdOwn the woodland arches.
The ripples vanish, seward drawn:
The flowers in sleep their perfume render
Sonightly round each darkening slope
The light is sown in patient hope,
That the rich harvest of the dawn
May rise in golden splendor!

Prof. Beal, of Michigan, says: eft
you have money to fool away, seed

cultivate well till they are seven to ten
years old. Spread ashes, manure or
salt broadcast. Stop cultivating in

The Application Of Fertilizers.

Perhaps something more may yet be
learned in regard to the application OF
fertilizers and their supposed propensity
TO waste Certainly facts like the fol.
lowing are suggestive as well as in
structive: In West Springfield is a
field of corn of about three acres, that
stands remarkably well and has been
noticeably vigorous all the season. On
inquiry, we learned that on about one
third of this piece fresh stable manure
was spread in mid-winter, when it was
drawn On another third the manure
was piled, and spread at the time OF
blowing, as is the usual way. On the
balance of the field common mixture
of fish and potash was applied. The
proprietor tells us that the superiority
of the first style of treatment was plain.
ly visible all through the early stages OF
its growth, and that this accords with
his previous experience. If that is so,
it upsets some of the theories OF the So
called professors of agriculture. The
idea has been prevalent that manures
are injured by exposure to air and frost,
and consequently they are often housed
at considerable inconvenience till the
time of planting, when they are covered
with earth as quickly as possible. Some
pillow them in, lest some of their
precious qualities should Incorporated,
and Others harrow them in, through
fear Of teaching. There are those who
fork over their manures several times,
believing that it pays. and others
mingle it with the soil by frequent
plowings. The corn-grower above re-
ferred to is man of cautious speech
and abundant resources, and his testi.
mony can be relied on. An opportunity
is here given to establish a principle
that may be of value to farmers. Lei
us "prove all things and hold fast that
which is good. "-Sp1ingfeld (Mass.
