lRich cold Deposit in Connecticut.

The recent discovery Of gold In the
town of Ashford, Windham county,
Conn, has caused much interest among
sspeculators in eastern Connecticut. A
Short time ago, Mr.. Darius Barlow, a
farmer, Of Ashford, purchased forty
acres Of ledge land Of O. L. Dean, which
was supposed to be comparatively
worthless. Two local prospectors,
imaginative fellows Steve Lewis and
one Huntley--had conceived the idea
that large amount Of gold was i'm
bedded in the finty lodges, and they
acquired an interest in the land. They
carried on prospecting operations
quietly, and finally struck an appar-
emily rich deposit Of gold. Specimens
Of the gold-bearing rock were sent to a
mining company in New York city, who
assayed them at the rate Of from $18 to
S27 d ton. The company we're DESTROYS
Of investigating further, and desired
the Connecticut prospectors to send on
three hundred pounds more of the
specimens, saying that if the rock would
assay $50 ton they would put $4,000
into the working Of the mine, and send
one hundred men to begin operations
at once. The three hundred pounds
were shipped to New York. The assay
is not yet completed. The last batch is
said to be- much richer in gold than the
first.

Salt Cor Sheep;

An important point which many sheep
raisers overlook is the providing salt in
places easily accessible. It is said that
in Spain, whenever sheep are kept in
the neighborhood of rock salt hills or
sea salt, and have access to it, they
thrive better than in other localities,
and wherever this is the case the same
results ensue; sheep give more and
better wool, and the mutton is more
highly esteemed than that from other
localities. This also applies to cattle,
and in fact to all like stock. Salt is
necessary to % perfect sanitary condi-
ton, and should not be overlooked.
Place it where stock can have easy access
to it. They will not abuse the privilege.

ManurIal Value OF Leaves.

III was IN one OF the Middle States, !"
says writer in the Nep England Home
stead, "where this experiment. Of mine
with leaves was tried and the soil was a
light sandy loan. There was not fer
tility enough in it in its natural condi-
tion to produce over twelve bushels Of
shelled corn to the acre. Having pre-
viously applied commercial fertilizers
Of various names and brands on the
same description Of land with result
ing balance on the debtor side Of the
ledger, and not being able to obtain
stable manure except at an exorbitant
price, Iset about the collection Of leaves
for the compost heap. A neighbor very
kindly gave me permission to remove
all the leaves from his woodland that I
might desire, and in the hollows and
along the fences found them in large
quantities in fresh as well as par
tally decayed condition. I collected
150 one-horse loads in the course Of the
fall and winter. Afterward / could not
help thinking that my neighbor's wis.,
dom was in inverse proportion to his
generosity. The leaves, except enough
to furnish bedding for q horse, COW
and a pig, were deposited in q basin
shaped barnyard. The contents Of the
stables we're daily added to the pile, and
a load Of leaves was added from time to
time, the precaution being taken to
keep the mass well moistened. BY
March my compost heap had attained to
gigantic dimensions. 1t was then care

and covered with two or three inches Of
earth. During the process of fermenta-
tion, which soon ensued, water was oc-
casionally added to check the tendency
of excessive heat and hasten the decon1-
position and oxidation Of the leaves. A

stated that the fish of the Gulf Of Mex;

destroyed them in great numbers, SO
that their dead bodies have been drifted

similar but less extended visitations
have been observed at other times.
Unfortunately, no proper examination
of these phenomena have been made,
and hence not enough is knownsof the
facts and attendant circumstances to
afford complete material for o solution
of the mystery. Some have supposed
that the fish were poisoned by decaying
vegetable matter poured into the sea
from tropical rivers but IL this were
the case the poisoning would invariably
take place in and at the mouths Of such
rivers; but there is no evidence to this
effect, and deep-sea fish have as often,

caused by the poisonous effects Of the

An UndesIrabIe Present.

Yesterday afternoon a few minutes before
the knocking off, hour at the Central
Railroad shops, the express wagon was
driven up, and large box, addressed to one
Of the employees, was delivered. The box
was neatly made, and had appearance as
though it contained something valuable.
The party to whom it was consigned pro
ceeded to open it, curious to ascertain its
contents. As he removed the top, an ALI
gator three feet long sprang from the box,
causing quite stampede among the men
who had gathered around. On regain
Ing his liberty the gator jumped
at one Of the spectators aud seized him by
the pants and held on until large iron bar
was inserted between his jaws. He was then
secured. The party receiving the animal,
not considering it a very desirable present,
turned It over to Mr.. Chas. Blase, 12l
Broughton street, who proposes training it.

GEORGIAN. buried az gettysburg.


Mr.. WR. H. Gelbach, who has farm just
outside of Gettysburg, between Hancock'S
and Pettigrew's positions in the great fight,
furnishes the following information to the
Baltimore Gazette, which will be of interest
to many of the readers of the MORNING
NEWS:
"On Saturday Mr. Gelbach, while eXca-
waiting on his farm, discovered trench con-
tanning the remains of a number of Confed
crate soldiers It was about this vicinity
that Thomas brigade. of Georgia, was
located. No Union soldiers reached that
part OF the ground, which confirms Mr..
Gelbach in the belief that they were mem
bers of the above named Confederate COM
mand. By piece OF decorated ceat sleeve
found on one of the arm bones 1t was ascer-
tanned that the wearer had been Lieuten-
ant The bodies had been so heaped in the
trench that no one skeleton could be ex-
humed entire, although all OF the principal
bones were preserved. The remains Of
twenty soldiers were taken out, though
more remain in the trench. Those taken
from the trench have been carefully boxed
up and temporarily inferred. Mr.. Gelbach
has seen Mr.. McHenry Howard, Of this city,
in reference to bringing the matter before
the Society of the Army and Navy OF the
Confederate States in Maryland to arrange
for q proper interment of the remains, and
the Georgia society will also probably be
communicated with In regard to the dis
covery."
