earth out of the alleys, and then rake the beds
smooth.


Sowing BEET SEED.-For this porpose make
choice of a piece of rich deep ground; lay it
out into four feet wide beds, push the loose
earth into the alleys then sow the seed tolera-

alleys to about three-quarters of an inch deep,
Or let drills be drawn with hoe, near an inch
deep, and foot or little more asunder; drop,
the seeds thinly therein and cover them over
the same depth as above. Or you may sow
the seed on piece of ground, rough after be-

Lying between the cities of New York
and Philadelphia, and peopled largely BY
the wealthy, comparatively ignorant and
supremacy selfish aristocracy Of those great
marts Of trade, New Jersey has been pecu-
Iarlg distinguished for hunkers, not to say
in some localities, traitor politics. Hers is
the unenyiable distinction among all the
free States, Of having given part Of her
vote against A1r. Lincoln in the last presi-
Dental canvas And besides the influences
to which we have referred, the State is
cursed by wealthy, powerful and most
odious railroad monopoly, which for
nearly q generation has virtually held the
State in the grasp Of giant and ruled it
mainly for its own benefit


But in spite Of all untoward influences,
the great mass Of the people Of New Jer-
sey have shown themselves in1exibly loyal
to The constitution and the government Of
their country. From the commencement
Of the rebellion to the present hour, her
sons have been among the very foremost
in every battle east Of the mountains,
where danger and death were to be braved
and the glorious old flag Of their country
was to be vindicated- The war has brought
all true patriots in New Jersey, as else
where, together, and it is believed that at

OF Z0llicoNcr's Defeat.


BALTIMORE, Jan. "a, 1882.
The Norfolk Day Book publishes the Union accounts Of
the defeat Of Gen Zocoer and says that IT does not be-
lisve word Of it, and that it is Wall street lie, got up
to raise the spirits Of the Yankees after their defeat at
Ironton by JEFF. Thompson.


The Richmond Dispatch has the following in regard to
the Union accounts Of the fight at Somerset, Ken
tucky:-


We publish batch Of the federal dispatches, and do
not believe that there is word OF truth in them The
fact is as the reader will perceive reading the money
article OF the New York Epcing Pos, that stocks
going down at such rapid rate owing to the failure Of
tho Burnside expedition and the licking the federals
Gently got at the hands Of jeff. Thompson that it
necessary to steam up in some way other to keep
down the rebellion at home. SO they resorted to
these dispatches their regular plan Of operating the
stock market and OF keeping their spirits up We sus
pect that General Zollcoer has given them licking,
as he commenced the attack according to their own
count contained in Of their despatches and
not likely that prudent commander az Zollicofer
would have opened the ball thom and then suffered
them to defeat him easily. The whole yarn s "fshy"

The New York correspondent Of tho
Bulletin says:


A very curious divorce case was decided
by our courts on Saturday, that of Fowler
VS.. Fowler, it being a cross suit, each party
aIedging crminality against the other, and
both being convicted. The unreilectng
reader who is not posted up in legal matters
may perhaps think that, there having been
a double suit and double conviction, there
must necessarily be a double divorce-the
husband from the wife and the wife from the
husband-aud consequently that hereafter
there will be wider gulf between the two
than would have been the case under the
circumstances of single divorce. Not a
bit of it. On the contrary, the Judge tells
the parties, that both having been equally
guilty no decree of divorce can issue in ia
vor of either.
