A writer in the Gardeners Chronicle
lays it down as the result of his expert
ence, first: that the proper time TO top
dress lands is in the fall, and secondly,
that the stock should not be permitted
10 remain thereon late in the fall. in
support of the first of these propositions
he maintains that as the temperature of
the soil and atmosphere being cold in
winter, the dung affords protection TO
the tender roots of the plants, and that
whatever PARTICLES of fertility which
may exist in the manure, are in winter
washed down into the soil, and lose out
little of their virtue by evaporation,
and that the drying winds and sun of
summer are more injurious to the man
ures than any drenching rain can be.
Immediately after the autumnal appli-
cations of manure, he recommends that
the meadows should be thoroughly har.
rowed-a most wise recommendation is
this, enc that will greatly encourage the
economy of the manure.

Editor Of the Register:


Until very recently, no remarkeJle
event has disturbed the tranquility OF
of our usual quiet horizon. A few
nights ago worthy yeoman of this
neighborhood, while in his bed wrapped
in slumbers, was attacked by blood
thirsty midnight sneak in the shape OF
"big Gnaw-a-way-rat which made
a courageous assault upon his ground
works. Being much fatigued with his
field-toils of the preceding day, he
bore the assault with an unusual degree
of resignation, and was aroused
barely in time to save himself,
but not until his cuticle was
eaten through to the quick. For
several days he was unable to move
about except with the aid of crutches.
These suspicious looking "varmints''
have, offate, attracted the attention OF
the farmers of this section. They seem
to be on a crusade, having their COM
pass set Northward, and are quite an
moving to the farmers of this section.
Is it not fair to conjecture that these
carnivorous hordes are seeking the
father-land of some distinguished apoS-
tie of "great moral ideas" away up i'll
the country of the self-righteous Pur-
itans. We would suggest the idea that
the Governors send for few regiments
of the Brownlow Malitia aad drive
these invaders from the soil of West
Virginia. Truly Yours,

We clip from the Clarksburg COnserra
tire the following paragraph in relation
to a well-kuown legal gentleman of oul
State:


We see our esteemed friend, Colonel
Iohn S. Hoffman, at his old employment
in the United States Court. Since his
return to this section, Colonel Hoffman
has shown little disposition to resume
the practice of the law. His long and
thorough research into the land titles
and land law of the country, however,
make il difficult for him to retire from
his old cases or avoid engagement in new
ones. We learn that he will give to
those who desire it, the benefit of his
services in the United States Courts, in
the preparation of important cases in
the State Cuurts, and in the investiga-
ton of land titles.


We cheerfully give place to this NOTES
of the return of one of our first lawyers
to his old place in our United States
Courts Colonel HoFFMAN's reputation,
as land lawyer, is of the highest order,
and We are glad to add that it is well
deserved. In this branch of the prac'
tice he is admitted to have no superiors
in the State.

Drying fruit has several advantages
over canning or bottling. 1t is cheap,
er; it may be adopted on an extensive
scale; the fruit may be kept with less
care, and, being several times lighter
than when fresh, may be sent long dis
tances, at a moderate expense. When
fruit growers shall learn that dried
fruit from the highest favored sorts is
as much better than that from the poor
unsaleable varieties so often used for
the purposes, as the best fresh fruit OF
the one sort exceeds the other, purchas-
ers will also be willing to pay much
higher price for the article. When
superadded to this, the fruit is dried
rapidly, so as to retain clear, light
color, and a perfect flavor, instead Of
dark, half fermented fruit resulting
from slow drying in weather, there will
be no difficulty in finding a ready sale
for all that may be offered III market.
When abundant seasons occur, the sur
plus should be saved by drying, and
may be kept another year.

The incompetence and violence of the
Radical party leaders and their organ;

try, and indicate popular movement

This is eviDced by the recent election
in California; by the increase of the
Democratic vote and the great falling
off in the strength of the Republican;
in that State. California is slow tC
feel the influence of political reac
tion. This was shown in the com
mencement of the rebellion, as we'll rs
in the subsequent issue between the
President and Congress on the question
of reconstruction. The fact that the
Republican party in California was
rent asunder by internal dissensions
and that tho opposition vote has been
materially increased, will materially
| influence the result of the elections in
New York and Pennsylvania and prob.
ably in Ohio.


The Uorld has the following:


Read this handwriting on the wall, ye
Disuuionists who have sqHaudered a
third of the nations wealth, million
of its lives who have substituted a
military despotism for republican liber-
ty in ten of the sovereign States of the
Union, plundered the people with your
protective tariffs, robbed them with
your paper money, and cursed them
with q colossal debt. Read this hand
writing on the wall and know your fate,
for this is the beginning of the end OF

Says the Age:


The glorious news from California
will cheer the true friends of the Re-
public in all parts of the country, as the
surrender of Yorktown did the patriots
at the close of the war which gave sep
arate nationality to the American colo
nies. California has replied to Connecti-
cut. The Demscrats of the East and the
West are united in defence of the Consti-
tuition and the rights of white nen,

checked by the determined action of

of cannon, the ringing of bells, and the

In attempting to provide means
of transportation in future years
for the enormous grain trade Of the
West, it is necdful for those who
manage our railroads and canals to
reflect upon the rapidity of its
growth. The Buffalo Commercial
Advertiser says: The unparallel.
ed development of the West in pop
ulation and produce will, in the en-
suing thirty years, give trade be-
tween the West and New York
equal to upwards of SIS, 600, 600, 900
to 60 through the canals-if they
shall be made sufficiently capacious
for it's accommodation. There will
be this amount of trade aside from
that of the RAILWAYS. A canal-boat
of the size now navigating the Erie
canal, two hundred and fifty tons
burthcn, will carry as much as one
freight train of twenty five cars.
From seventy to eighty boats of
this class can be laden with grain
and despatched eastward each and
every twenty four hours. If the
canals should be ignored, and the
entire business now done upon them
should be transferred to the rail-
roads, it would require forty freight
trains to be dispatched daily by the
Central and forty by the Erie, in
addition to the business they are
now doing.


twenty-five years ago the grain
trade of this city was between two
and three millions of bushels annu-
ally. Tt now averages from fifty to
sixty million bushels annually in
addition to the -four trade. The
receipts at this port of grain in one
day last year were upwards of three
million bushels. The receipts here
on the 18th ult., were upwards of
seven hundred thousand bushels,
besides upwards ola million stavcs,
and six million feet Of lumber. Es-
timating the results of the future
by the past, the time is not far dis
tant when the grain trade at this
point will be five hundred million
bushels annually. \ movement of
sixty million bushels of grain by
rail would require G,S57 trains of
twenty-five cars each, equal to
seventeen trails daily by each Of
lie two roads during the entire
navigation season Of two hundred
days, and yet the grain trade is
scarcely half the tonnage to be
moved.

He closed his remarks in recent speech
