a SINGULAR INCIDENT OF THE
WAR.

In the early part of 1864 short but
spirited fight occurred at a place in East
Tennessee called cambridge, between a
erablc force Of Federal cavalry Many
were killed on both sides. Among the
Confederate killed was man named Sea
ford, from North Carolina, who had been
professor Of mathematics to one of the
colleges of that State, and who was one
of the finest looking men we ever saw.
lie was private in the Washington Light
Infantry from Charleston, ). C., and
would not accept commission, though
it was rendered him several times He
was buried OH the spot where he was
killed, and his comrades returned to their
quartcrs-scven miles away. About two
weeks after the fight letter came to his
address. The captain of the company
opened it, and it proved to be from a
young lady to whom Seatord was en-
gagged to be married. 1t was written on
the very day the fight occurred at Dan
dridgc, related dream the writer had
Just had, i'll which she saw Seaford lying
dead on the battlefield shot through the

exactly as it was, and even the topography
of the field, though she had never seen it,,
and in all probability knew nothing of
the battle. She begged him to send her

From the Ovid Register
a REH'I JOURNALIST On
GIN

Don c. Henderson, editor of the 1Uegan
Jo'u2.ol, arrived in Ovid Saturday, and
went into camp with the Union man.
That evening he was driven around the
village and the adjacent country by J.
w. Fitzgerald, and, being disciple of
the late Horace Greeley, was, of course,
reused to enthusiasm by the agricultural
scenes and implements through which he
passed. He spoke with regret, however,
of the lack of fish-polc culture in the low
lands along the Maple, and strongly
urged that forest trees, which are now
merely ornaments, be utilized for training
turnip vines. "The turnip," he said, " is
something like an editor 1t needs fresh
air, and the higher it climbs the more it
shows its culture"
"Again,' he went on to say, every
body knows the blessings mankind has
derived from the cultivation of rye, which,
| observe, YOU do not raise the best va
riety of about here; and from this hint
the energies of agriculture should be di-
rected to the turnip, with the unbounded
possibilities of the future opening like
vista before us. Take your turnip to
your forest tree; let the vine twine round
it, and when it comes forth at the top
there it will meet the oxy-gin and nitro
gin of the air, and your fruit will blossom
like live turnip in a live town. In the
fall tap your crop and draw off your gin.
Two crops will pay the national debt and
save the country from Democratic con-

An EXCELLENT FERTILIZER.

A German farmer once told the writer
that every year he prepared heap of
manure which. when applied to his soil,
made it produce marvellous yields. His
mode of preparing it was as follows, to
use his own language: have but one
horse, one COW and about two dozen
fowls | save every particle of their
droppings and place them under shed
which has a cement floor; upon this
spread a layer of forest mold, and in or
der to preserve the ammonia in it cover
the dung with another layer of mold,
taken from the woods close to my house.
| continue this system of layering each
time the stable, cow and hen houses are
cleaned out. also save the urine of the
animals and that from my house, and
pour it upon the heap; sometimes | also
add a small quantity of litter from the
stable, and when not too busy to collect
them, lot of leaves. BY attending to
the heap in person, and seeing that all
the manure is rigidly saved, find on
hand by the early spring a large quantity
of the richest fertilizer have ever used.
During the few winter months it has
thoroughly rotted, and when needed to
spreal upon my garden it resembles a
heap of ashes, so completely is it pulver-
ized. My garden consists of five acres of
ground, which receives this valuable ma
nure. On farm where twenty or thirty
horses, mules and cattle are kept, and a
flock of sheep and fair number of fowls,
besides their combined droppngs, if
treated as above, enough Of this excellent
fertilizer could be saved each year to
thoroughly manure fifteen or twenty
acres Of land, and no farmer should be at
loss to have what manure he requires,
for this is the foundation of successful
