Mr.. JOHN +. MARsHALL:
Dedr SH'-This is to certify that have used the
Popplein Sicated Phosphate bought of you for
Two years past on my entire range of truck, and
the results have been highly satisfactory. Ii is
decidedly the best fertilizer I ever used and I
have used several standard brands have tested
i beside good compost from my hen-house, and
hnd where used the Popplein my crops mature
better and the vines, especially tomatoes, bear
much longer, and the fruits of a superior quaii-
ty. Where used 1t on cabbage they were twice
as large as where there was none put Another
good thing can say in favor of this fertilizer is
with the phosphate without any injury to the
plant or seed. This have tried to perfection.

|. Music AND PLANTs-A scientist insists
that musical sounds stimulate the growth of
plants. He gives an instance in point. In a
barren section of Portugal he built small
conservatory, and endeavored to cultivate
roses and other flowers under shelter, but in
spite of his precaution and industry they did
not flourish. One day he took a harmonum
into the green house and played for several
hours. This practice he maintained for sew.
eral months, and was surprised to see grad
ual but rapid recovery of health on the part
of his plants He attributes their improve
ment to the influence of music, and unfods
the theory that the singing of birds is con-
duciye of vegetable life. II is n pretty the
DRY. Let the honest gardener hereafter
whistle as he waters his plants and trims his
roses. Let the pianos be moved from draw
ing room to green house, and the young Ia.
dies of the family practice there. Let the
small farmers hire all the organ grinders to
make music in their cornfields the glad sum.
mer long Let the brass bands be sent into
the wilderness until it blossoms like the rose

A HORSES AGE-A Southern journal
states that when n horse is over the age of
nine years a wrinkle comes in the lid Of the
eye at the upper corner of the lower lid and
every year thereafter he has ono well-defined
wrinkle for each year of his age oyer nine
If, for instance, a horse has three wrinkles he
is twelve; if four thirteen. Add the number
of wrinkles to nine and you will always get
at the age 4..s. ~.

A FOX CHASE.

MEssRs. EDITORS: According to previous ar
rangement it was agreed 10 wind up the fox
chasing for the season by one grand rally at
Saltwater on Thursday, the 18th inst. On
Wednesday evening previous, c. Q. Long and
Sterling Dickson, of Berwick, drove up in front
of C. B. McHenry's with their blooded stock, in
cuding the celebrated hound of Dick Oswald's,
and early in the morning the party set out for
the woods. The day proved to be excellent
for trailing, When the dogs were let loose it
was soon very evident that they had struck a
trail, and in due time routed the fox. After
chasing him rapidly for while, wonderful
report Of a gun was head, and j! being in the
direction where Mr.. Long was stationed. fears
were entertained that the chase would be pre-
maturely wound up, as he is known to be a
crack shot; but the long range he was COM
PEELED to shoot and the lightning speed with
which Reynard was being driven, is attributed
as the cause of missing it. BY this time ii was
getting exceedingly interesting, as Harry Low,
of Orangevile had arrived and turned on five
more honnds, (making eleven in all.) The
shooting and fresh recruit Of dogs caused th'
GX to leave in northerly direction, and soor
the cry Of the lest hounds could be heard NJ
ore, but the party concluded 10 follow. Afte
going Two or three miles we halted on hgi
Hill to wait for the chase 10 return, the tim
seemed very long and some of the PARTY begal
to get discouraged, when all of sudden ha
was thrown high in the air, AS one said b
heard the ho unds coming back. Then 500
followed scene which was just grand; the fo'
tax ing for circling ground large eleyated piec
OF ground mostly cleared and in full view @
us. BY this time the endurance as well as tn
speed Of the dogs was being thoroughly tested
They were fearfGlly scattered, the front dog
strainiug every nerve to oyertake Reynard, an
every time they came in sight the distance We
shortened until the head hound got sight, whe
a terrible struggle followed, but the fox, nj
forgetting his cunning, darted under larl
rock in time to save himself We took in Il
situation at once, ard all hands started for Il
hole. Mr.. Long, realizing his facilities e
lordng streams struck an air line while Il
others were compelled to 20 around by
bridge, consequently he was FIRST on the groun
We soon discovered lie was fafe. 1t being abo
4 O'Clock, we started for G. b. McHenry's whe
roast turkey and other eatables were enjoyed

whole day are capable of enjoying it. Az

PUT 1T IN WRITING.

Business carried on verbally sometimes an
swers every purpose but in many cases 1t is in
expedient and frequently results in trouble and
litigation. Put all contracts in writing and
take receipts for all moneys paid out, however
trining the amount may be. Many msunder-
standings result from the loose way in which
business matters are talked over, and after each
party has his or her construction on the con-
tract, the matter is dropped with the expression
of "all right" from each. In many cases it
proves "all wrong" and affords a job Tor law
yers, juries and courts. Ifpeople persisted in
putting their agreements in writing, much use
less litigation could be avoided. When reduc-
ed to writing, ideas are fixed and lasting.

that has been organized in this town. A char

is now ready to commence work. The insu-

which has proved TO be far more reliable than
the old stock companies, which have succeeded
in making their officers immensely wealthy and
then many of them collapsing. Mr.. Enos
Shine of Sunbury is the General Agent for this
company, and as he is an active, energetic and

what it will soon be placed on firm basis

Lewisburg Is having an exciting time over
the question as to whether cows shall be per-
mitted to run at large 10 the streets. The solu.
ton will depend on the number Of friends the
"poor man" has on their borough council,
though it it is said that a large proportion of
the cows are owned by men who are abundantly
able to pay for pasturage. This question is an
old one for Bloomsbury, and the people who
pay large portion Of the town taxes are wait
ing anxiously to see what our new council are
going to do IN the matter. There are about 100
cows owned in the town, not more than one
tenth Of which are the property ofpersons who
have no real estate. Shall we turn loose the
whole herd in order to accommodate dozen
people who prefer to pasture their cattle in
their neighbot's door yard becaus. IL Is
