land is said to have written as follows, under
date Of Executive Mansion, Washington,
August l.: 81 have read your letter of the
oath ult. with amazement and indignation.
There is but one mitigation to the per6dy
which your letter discloses, and that is found
in the fact that you confess your share in it.
don't know whether you are Democrat or
not; but if you are, the crime which you con-
fess is the more objectionable. The idea that
this administrations pledged to give the people
better government and better officers, aud
engaged in hand to-hand fight with the bad
elements of both parties-should be betrayed
by those who ought to be worthy of implicit
trust, is atrocious; and such treason to the
people and to the party ought to be punished
by Imprisonment Your confession comes
too late to be of immediate use to the public
service. and ] can only say that while this is
not the first time have been deceived and
misled by lying and treacherous misrepre-
sensations, you are the first one that has so
frankly owned his grievous fault. If any
comfort is to be extracted from this assurance
you are welcome to it. )"

a cute lille GUS, you'd declare
With eyes full Of fun
And a nose that begun

As he played through the longSummer day,
And braided his que
AS his father used to,
IN chinaland far, faraway.
Once DER lawn
That All Sid played upon
a humble bee flew in the Spring;
MCLEAN butterfly p.
Said he, with winking eye,
Me catchee and pull of UNI wing"
Then with his cap
He struck it rap
This innocent bumble-bee-
And put its remains
In the seat Of his jcanes,
For pocket there had the Chinee
Down on the green
Sat the little sardine

And said with grin
That was brimful ofsin,

Little All Sid
Was only kid,
Nor could you expect him toguess
What kidd of bug

In the folds Of his loose fitting dress.

This year we offer to the trade the above
well-known brands of Fertilizers, the merits
of which are attested by some of the most
prominent farmers in this and other States.
We can buy materials cheaper, and have
better facilities for manufacturing than ever
before, and therefore can place upon the
market first class goods at very low price.
We guarantee these brands to be of the past
good standard. Owing to the low price of
wheat and the depression of business gener-
ally, we have made liberal reduction in our
prices, in order to place our Fertilizers within
the reach of every farmer, feeling that in
creased sales will fully repay US for the re-
duction in price.
We will deliver to any station on W. NJ. R.
r. our sSmith's Raw Bone Phosphate at
1913 per ton, crop time; our 'sSmith' S Soluble
Phosphate at $24 per ton, crop time; and
our EtSmith's Dissolved Bone at $35 per

freight on these goods at these prices. Ia A
liberal discount made for cash. See our cir
culars with testimonials. Send us your order.

solicitation for fair share of your patronage
