The Tichborne claimant has sent
from his prison to Mr.. Quartermaine
East another letter, half whine and half
blasphemy, in WHICH he says: ''If our
Saviour came from Heaven and appear
ed before Gladstone and his colleagues
in the Cabinet and told him the truth
he would not be believed. but in all
probability insulted if he mentioned my
name. There are none 30 blind as
those who will not see. And one of
two things are certain, either the truth
is distasteful Ito the Governments or
they are under a threat of displeasure
from the Throne. Fair play and JUS
tice have not been dealt ont to me- !
do not hesitate TO say that such a state
of things could not have taken place in
any other country Dut this, and would
never been allowed to take place in
this in King Georges time" '..

Renovation Of Old Pastures.

The pastures Of very many Of our old
farms have become SO completely run out
that they do not produce one-half the
feed that they did thirty years ago. In.
stead Of white clover covering the ground
as then seen, We see naught but tufts OF
June grass, and stunted at that; or, per-
haps hog brakes or fine knoll ferns. that
no animal will eat under uny circum.
stances. IL is often doubted whether
there is any paying plan whatever that will
warrent the attemp to renovate or i'm
prove the condition of these old and worn
out pastures. The design of this article
is to suggest simple and cheap plan by
which the desired end can be accom-.
plished, especially on rocky land, where
blowing Is out Of the question. On such
we would recommend the following: LIST,
The brakes may be eradicated by moving
two or three times during one season.
Then, for top dressing take one barrel
Of bone meal, 300 pounds of ground gyp.
sum or common land plaster, two barrels
OF unleached ashes, one barrel OF coarse
salt, and two barrels Of ground charcoal
Put the whole on barn floor and thor.
oughly mix with common shovel. Spread
the mixture over five acres, and watch the
result The cost OF the batch will be, say,
s. for bone meal, 81 so for plaster, ashes
81, salt Sl.50 charcoal 81; total $40, or 80
to each acre Now, if the land is worth
3 10 an acre before the Dressing, there is not
a shadow OF doubt but that it will be worth
more than double that after thus increas.
ing its value IS per acre above the cost OF
the material. Brother farmer, just try q
single five acre piece on this plan aud re-
port the result. The application should
be made late IN the fall or early ia the
spring = Mirror and Farmer.

The annual meeting of stockholders of the

out New England. The business has con-
tinued to grow rapidly on its own merits,
and the lights are daily increasing in popular
