Application of Ashes.
Ashes are so valuable a fertilizer

dry
aud snndy soils, that they; can. hardly be

the Maine Statu Colleire farm show that
ashes were more lasting in their effects
on grass, than any oth'er fertilizer applied.
The soil was a strong clay loam, i We
have been general rather than defintt iu
speaking of the quantity of ashes to be

one half per cent of potash, but the leach

sibly one or one and a half per cent I may
be left, and some other soluble matters.
It is true tuat a lew sous may be so
charged with potash that crops growing
on them will not be markedly increased by
an application of ashes of the quantity
above specified, but as also stated (most
soils will be. grateful for their presence.

in New York,1 was sent to prison for six
months. He kil!ed a cat that had bitten

ago a respectable young man uamed Ed

for three hionth?, for permitting his dog
to kill mischievous rats. A morning pa

was a society; for the prevention of cruel

of cruelty to human beiugs.
The Stm says to-day the outrageous

drew a bushel of envelopes. Will you
believe me there were' only two
prized among 'em ! Well, gentlemen
after he went away, I found that the
Queen sent him here to try for heri I

ptill, but I could not. help it; we
must be impartial, and let luck go
where it will. All the rayel family
patronize us and most always have

without a heavy, run of prizes right
afterward.' .

The Candy Business.
The amount of candy manufactured in
this country is far greater than is usually

m.-iinli- p.atin'' mora, it is said, than all
the rest of the world combined. New
York has, until recently, made most of
the caudy; but now Boston is a large man-
ufacturer. Within a few years, many
small houses, mostly French, have sprung
up here, and reduced the price materially.
Boston has three large manufactories,
employing some 300 workmen, and pro
ducing over 4,000 tons of candy annually.
Not more than 'one-fourth of this is con-
suraed hi New England, the remainder
going Chiefly to the provinces of the West.
Boston makes, altogether, more than
5,000 tons, using something over 2000

made, though the Philadelphia make has
considerable reputation. We are not,
perhaps, as a people, so fond of sweet
thingsas the iitin nations, out we nave;
so much more money to spend that we
buy far more than they can. The com-
