The future Of the little frame church,

where Guiteau first intended to assossi.
nate him, is undecided. The church
society have about completed new
brick cditce on the site of the old frame

society Of the First Congregational
church purchased it with the intention
of removing il to another point in the
suburbs for use as mission chapel.
The District Commissioners refused to
grant permit to have the building
moved, and decided that it must be torn
down. Those who desire to have the
building preserved because OF its his

people in Il desire to have the necessary
permission to remove the building, but
the Commissioners are hesitating and

BURNING; RkISII

When u brush heap is burned the su
p"r'or growth Of the first crop on tht
spot has been generally y attributed to the
ashes left by the fire; hnt it is now as
srrbed 10 the heating Of the soil and
not 20 the ashes at all 70 prove this
an eNperimrntrr burned IA large pile OF
weeds, gathered up The ashes as soon a.
he fire was out and spread them at a
distance.
The ashes I'D no apparent good, but
the spot where the fire occurred gave
wheaf six or eight inches Ia Ter than the
adjoining, and about twice the yield.
This is Il good point for the fancy far
mers. Now that the ensilage fever is
dying out, let those who built sios con-
vert them into ovens for baking soil In
this they can rcvolutiouize agriculture
and confer an immense boon upon their

TrOullle with the RAlicp.

Last Saturday afternoon officers Hen,
mis- aud Osborne had a dispute at the
Quickstcp base ball grounds, in refer
tnrc to which one should be on duty at
the place. Some very proiane language
was used, and Osborne threatened to
arrest Hrnnis unless he left the place
The dispute waXed so warm that an
ofiiccr OF the grounds threatened tocjcct
both Hi them, and IN that way ended
tn" dispute. 1t is understood that the
base ball club pays VI to II police officer
to be on the ground TO preserve order
while Il game is being played, and that
explains the cause of the dispute. A
member of the Police Committee, in
speaking of the matter yesterday said
it was shameful, and that neither officer
had any business there if he was on
duty, as the grounds are outside the city
limits.

watch Ing for Their Master.

A special despatch from Plymouth,
n. G., says: One of the most remark
able reasons probably ever urged for
pardon of criminal has been presented
to the Governor of this State in appli-
cation for the release of Tim Buckner, a
negro desperate, confined in Jail here.
ABOUT eighteen months ago Buckner
melted riot, and placed himself at the
head Of 100 lawless negro lumbermen,
who threatened to destroy this town.
The Governor was compelled To call out
the military before the rioters We're sup
pressed. Buckner was convicted and
sent to jail for two years for being the
ringleader of the mob. AT the time Of
his arrest the negro owned two coon
dogs, which daily visited the Court
during the trial of their master and sat
by his side After Buckner was sent to
Jail, the poor brutes took up their station
at the jail-yard door.
During Buckner's imprisonment the
dogs have not been absent from thei"
post single night. They relieve each
other during the day to get food, but at
night are constantly at the door. The
people of the town became attracted by
this singular evidence of the devotion
of the dumb creatures to their master.
They built them kennel near the Jail
door and within sight of Bnrkner's cell
window. Governor Jarvis wife visited
the place a few days ago, and was
moved to tears by the wonderful fidelity
of Buckner's dogs to their master. She
has Joined others in recommending the
Governor to pardon Buckner, who still
has a year to serve. The principal
reasons urged for Executive clemency
are the facts here related.

AGRICU ULT URAL.
HOUND LIMESTONE AS A FERTILIZER

Limestone is the name given to all
rocks which IRE principally composed
of carbonate of lime, and so abundant
is it among the strata that compose the
crust Of the earth that it is supposed tC
constitute about 0ne-half their sub
stance. Carbonate of lime is composed
OF carbonic acid and lime. In the pro-
cess of burning the carbonic acid is ex-
PEELED and the lime, or oxide ofCalcium,
remains. This is known as quicklime.
The change in the composition callses
also change in the properties. Lime
stone, or carbonate of lime, is mild in
in its alkaline properties, while burnt
lime is caustic. Applied to the soil the
latter is a powerful agent in decompos-
ing the inert and inactive vegetable
matters in it, making them available as
plant food. Moreover, it act, beneticially
on the silicates of potash and soda com
bining with the silica, forming
siicate of lime and lberating the soda
and potash,
The latter is an essential element of
plant food and one that is seldom found
in large quantities il soluble form i'll
the soil, and is, therefore, soon exhaust
ed. Ground limestone, often called
raw" limestone, is insolube or near.
ly so, and therefore can have no such
effect. Where " free" carbonic acid is
present its solllbility is increased
Where the soil is destitute of lime in
sufficient quantities to supply what is
needcd for plant food the effects of pow
dered limestone are good, but this is
rarely the case. Its action is in all
cases slow, and its effects more lasting
than those Of burnt lime.
Where fuel is scarce and limestone or
marble abundant, the stone may be
chraply ground and be thus economi-
cally prepared for improving these soils
which are deficient in lime but neither
lands in which calcerous matter natur-
ally abound, nor those containing a
large proportion of impertectly dccom-
posed vegetable remains can receivpany
immediate benefit from the application
Of unburned lime, unless in tue way of
rendering lay soils mechanically light
ct and boggy ones more firm. On poor
sandy soils, and when reduced to the
finest powder, its effects have been
found to be the most beneficial.

three rooms at one Of the hotels in Jack

her three of the best rooms on the par

the rooms, but said they did not suit
her Being told that they were the
best rooms the citv afforded, she ordered
a carriage, went out to the stores and
spent over $500 ih fitting up the rooms
with rugs, curtains and bric-a- brac.
She occupied them just one week and
then left all her purchases behind her

returned north on IA special ear, which

merous carriages whirling along the

toward, New Castle. This is the tavo.

may be seen some good steppers and
stylish turnOuts, which are principally
owned by some of our prominent

ford the luxury of having team at
their disposal, have to be contentcd
with an occasional ride, by investing
two dollars in n team from a livery

Il ride. Reporters are numbered with
