The ground Will' need at least one more ! tborouga tirnng with cultivator or Wrow before the seed is sown. It cannot be made too mellow or be too finely pulverized for a seed bed, and as each stirring assists in germinating and destroying the weed seed that lie jdormint in the soil wiNallow the plants to get better growth before the weeds spring up to choke them out, and give cleaner crops next year. 2oj seed.! should be used which has no been first carefully screened and winnowed, for the removal of foul stuff from ft, and to take out shrun ken, light or imperfect seed of any kind. : ' , . The usual amount of seed used is from one. bushel to five pecks to the acre when drilled in, and about half a half bushel more when sown broad cast, to make up for loss of seed by covering;too deep or not deep enough, the proper depth being about One and a half to two inches If all seed could be placed at equal distances apart, and at equal depths, a much less amount of seed would be sum i cient. A Connecticut farmer sowed about two hundred rods of drill with one quart of wheat, and harvested eight bushels, and tjxnight he would have had smore if birfai and neighbors, to whom a wheat head is a curiosity, 4ould have been kept sway front it. As there could be over 2,600 rods of j drill, ohe foot apart, in an acre, it would require a little over thirteen quarts of, seed, and a yield equal to his would give over a hundred bush els per agre or fifty bushels per acre eould be grown in drills at two feet Spart, from six and a half Quarts of seed, go so JL. - . . . ' - We do not advise farmers, to fatas this in the matter of light seeding. They cannot all have old garden il to sow their-seed upon, nor givdffit garden cultivation, but 0 give jUiis as' ah illustration of ;the- pobilijties of ligtt seeding in good soil. is - j The use of a good superphosphate has been found to ereatlv stimulate the growth of Wheat; but the differ - ence in phosphates is but imperfectly unuerHiqou even Dy tnose wno nave ilsi'd them for many years, and many :fail in- their experiments because of I; not knowing how to adapt then! to I their crops or soils.

Shall we find him in the Federal Con stitution? There was a sover eign smitten to early death by tra:tor hands, trampled in the dust by ti aitor feet, but the hands and feet were not theirs. Do we hold that the men who fought against them were traitors? Not at all. They, too, were loyid to their ooyereiern.

We had as well be good nauired about it, for the street cars have come stay.

Moonahiner on the Rampage in Chathan There seems to be quite anexciting i aud perhaps an alarming state of ; alTiira in the northern part of Chat . ham couuty. Moonshiners are mad ' aul making threats against people i on. aecouut of the destruction of their i stills. Tho Chatham lieeord says : tlt.it a number of illicit stills have been captured and destroyed this year in tho northeastern corner of fii,dley township, and their owners have become so exasperated that they are making threats against certain citizens of that section, whom they i accuse of having informed against I them. One night last week a band of a dozen of these illicit stillers disguised themselves and were on their -way ti lynch a good citizen of that neighborhood (whom they ac cused of informing against them), when they were dissuaded from their purpose by a prominent citizen who saw them. It is said that there is an organized band of these lawless men, and, through fear of them and in con sequence of their threats, some of the be?t citizeui of the community hide out at night.

I New Yoek, Oct. 27. The- sub-iieH-iury has now. its representative iu Canada in the person of Henry Jackson, its paving teller. He has ifoue with exactly $10,000 -of Uncle Sam's monej-, bub there is this satis faction for tbe Uoasury officials, that oxekson might have taken more. . He did not, however, have access to the aults, as more stringent rules con t eriiing admission to tho vaults were made under the present treasurer. Juckson took iho money, as assis tant treasurer Cauda siud today, on :ast Saturday, the day of his depait ue, His cas!i was carefully examin ed ou the 13ll, and found to be cor rect. On the 17th inst., when Jack son was absent through illness, Mr. Canda said his accounts were again gone over and the deficit found. Ou Monday morning last tho dis covery was maae ana measures wera taken to intercept him, his default in :he meanwhile being kept secret. Mr. Canda said today: ''I know no way ihat has been devised to prevent mo jey nvtressaniy commiiiea to tneiT' cuarge ifuhey are dishonest. Jack sou was ;ipointed in February, 1879, nnc was r'Nmmended by several of ' he' most influential men in the city. He was previously in the National Currency bank and other financial institutions of this city, occupying smaller salaried positions.- When he was first appointed he was. promoted successively until he reached the po sition of paving teller at 3,000 per annum under the present assistant treasurer. He was a self possessed and capable man." Jaekson was not under bonds, so Mr. Cauda vudl have to bear the loss. Mr. Canda spoke of the default of $185,000 under As sistant Treasurer Milhouse of several years ago, showing that thid not the first loss of the kind to the treas urer. A Hirllon of Quarantine. W.sHixr.Toy. Oct. 27. The steamer i'id;'pendente from Mediterranean iorts, which touched at Palermo, a .holera-infected port, brought to New York over four hundred steerage pas sengers, who were landed iu Brook lyn after a dav and a half detention rV Quarantine and have Been scattered t abroad throughout the countrv. cj There had been' no infectious dis- ease on board during the passage of ; 22 days and all the passengers were . well. Surgeon General Hamilton, of . the marine hospital service was today i interviewed on this subject and said: "The first information received here was tho receipt of a copy of a New York evening ' paper of yesterday which contained a list of the places where the. immigrants ; irom the steamer had been sent. , J immediately telegraphed the facts to the health officers at the places : j.amed, wliich I was required to do l.y section 4 of the Act' of April 2'J, 1878. Response3"have been received from Chicago and Baltimore that the immigrants are being looked up,' and nil necessary measures will doubtless be taken in regard to their baggage I have similar information from the wealth officer of this city, who was I advised by me that two of the Inde I pendente's immigrants tad left New York for Washington. As to the power of the government to restrain vessels from infected ports from en tering I have to say that there is un doubtedly such authority found in I he act abovo cited, which requires ! that regulations shall be issued by - tue Burgeon-general of the marine i hospital service and approved by the i President. The doctor cited pre j cedents covering the case. It is prob j able that no, further action will be taken by the U. S. .authorities until I request be made by -tho local au- ihorities, as the law forbids interfer ' ence in any manner with State quaran tines. Consequently tne initial steps for federal action must come from the local authorities when m their judgment the time for such action das arrived. Some of the telegrams i received by Dr. Hamilton from i health officers of distant cities are ; couched in very indignant terms. The quarantine authorities in Newtfork have given out assurances that no , danger is to be apprehended : from the immigrants on the Indepen- lente . aud they defend themselves from the criticism directed against i them in the matter of the Indepen ; dente and the Britannia, another ves sel from the same ports now ithder ; detention at quarantine, and sustain ' Health Officer Smith ia all he has ; done, but a dispatch from New York I tonight ' sayB: At a special meeting meeting of the quarantine commis sioners this afternooon it was decided to ask the Secretary of the Treasury if ships coming from ports where cholera prevails cannot be sen) back, it being the opinion : that if that power exists it is now time to en force it. , Glra Thtuua Chance ! That is to say your lungs. Also all vour breathing machinery. Very wpn- terful machinery it is. Not only the) arger air passages, but the thousands of ittle tubes and cavities leading from them. When these are clogged and choked with matter which ought not to be there, your lungs cannot half do the work. A.nj what they do they cannot do well. Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumonia, catarrh, consumption or any of the fami ly of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, ail are baa. All ougnt to be got rid of. There is just one sure way to get rid of thera. That is to take Bos chee'a German Syrup, which any drug gist will sell you at 75 cento a bottle. Even if everything else has failed you, you may depend upon this for certain. Mahacaibo CorrE. A lot of sje- j eially fine old Maracaibo Coffee, just , received. Will drink as well as any i Mocha. E.
