T II E WESTERN .D EMO CR AT, ?. Cli ARLOT,TE N . fC . t PINE STRAW. 8Vp articles in the May number of The South ern Cultivator, on the Pine Straw question, hav ing attracted my attention, I will give a piece ,of nay p.w.p experience .in the matter leayuig .others to dispute aboyt the theory. I" 185" 1 .employed as manager on my s mall plantation experienced farmer, as well as a man of much practical sense. In our contract, it was sl.pula Jed.Uiat I was to furnish hands and transporta tion .to manure his potato patch Kith pine ttraxo. and the idea being a novel one to me, I '.watched.his proceedings with some interest The spot selected was a portion of a field of poor jrrnvelly brownish clay soil, which had been in cultivation longer than he or I had been living. The straw jzsed from the short leaf or "old-Geld" niae-T-jao rother kind growing on my place. 'OkVelJ, the potato patch was covered with this in January or Febuary, to the depth of 3 to G inches, nd the land (previously broken) "turned over." Jfo, other .manure was applied. On ray own jiatch.I put a bountiful supply of cow-pen manure H the, land, being fresher and better than his. -fThe culture was the same. His yield of potatoes .was at least 25 per cent Letter than mine. In , the fall. the whole field was sown in oats, and tfrom the time they x&me up until they were har vested, the difference between those in the .potatP .patch" and the rest of the field, was .perceptible at the distance of one to three hun dred yards the former having much the &tr.pjjcat and most healthy appearance, and the .yield was proportionately better. Next year the ; effects cpf. the Pine Straw were strikingly ob servable in tbe corn, as witnessed by several neighbors. And about that time we "peaceably .seceded," I went to the war, and don't know what ! .my pine straw potato patch did afterwards. 1 Jhat's all. E. 11. L. j JLilcsville, N. C, May, 18G7. , New Inventions. Dr. Jonos Johnson, of Northampton, county N. C, has been granted .two patents, one a fertilizer, distributer, ridger, .cotton planter, &c, and the other for an impor jtant bed spring. Of the first tho Weldon Stale .says, "it opens at tho same moment two parallel furrow3, deposits the fertilizer, therein, in any .given quantity to the acre without variation, and throws up the ridges, or cotton beds, on the fer tilizer. The land being prepared as above des cribed, by the first operation of the machine, in .the second operation the two ridges are at the .same moment planted with cotton seed And the .same covered to the requisite depth. When the machine is used for wheat all the appendages are tremQved and a corrugated apron is placed under , the machine at an angle of forty-five degrees to .the earth, the fertilizer from the hopper fall on dhe apron, which U made to spread the fertilizer broadcast most accurately on the space between .the wheels of which the machine, moves said apron, when the machine is moving, is made by .an eucentric arrangements on the axle to vibrate ,Jjyke tho seives of a fan mill, giving it a sifterlike .motion. The same machine then sows the wheat kmost accurately and harrows in the same. jttlLINERY ! BIILINERY !

ITow wondrous are the changes, Jim, Since twenty years ago, , , , When gab wore woolen dresses, Jim, And boys wore pants of tow;. When shoes were made of calf skin, And socks of homespun wool, And children did a haJf-day's work Before tlvo hour of school. The girls took music lesson Jim, Upon the spinning wheel, Aud practiced late and early, Jim, On the spindle, swift and reel; The boys would ride barebacked to mill, A dozen miles or so, And hurry off before 'twas day, Some Iwenty yers ago. The people rods to meeting, Jim, In sleds instead of sleighs; And wagons rode as easy, Jim, As buggies now a-days; And oxen answered well for team, Though now they'd be too slow; For people lived not half so fast Some twenty years ago. O, well do I remember, Jim, That Wilson's patent stove, That father bought and paid for Jim, In cloth our own gals wove; Aud how the neighbors wondered When we got the thing to go! They said 'twould burst and kill us all, Some twenty years ago. AT I?lcLEOD & STEELE'S, We are receiving a general stock of all grades of Seasonable Goods.

More Reforms. The Chicago Tribune (Re publican) wants Congress to tarn its attention to tbe Mormons and produce a few reforms in Brig iam Young's kingdom. It is feared that Brigham may injure morality in the Northern States by having a plurality of wives, and thus setting the bad example .of excessive happiness. The Tri bune says : "Polygamy is a recognized system of fornica tion which the Biblo and Christianity condemns, and if those Senators at Washington, instead of wasting their time in denouncing the despots of Europe and eulogizing the Mexican people, would only look to their own country, they would find a despotism more damnable than any across the water, Cannot a law be passed making polyg amy high treason, and authorizing the arrest of the criminal, in any part of tbe United States ? no matter where the crime is committed, so it is done within the territory of the Union. Pass puch a law, and let it be proclaimed far and uear, and I venture to predict that no one will dare to commit polygamy ere the centenary of our Na tional Independence will have passed away."
