Its area is estimated to contain six hundred ln proportion to adapt the result square miles. It is intersected by j iDS composts to different soils or New river. Its surface is ppiipm r level; the soil sandy. Corn, cotton, rice, Inmber, naval stores, potatoes, peanuts, beef, pork, fish and oysters are its chief products. The county was formed in 1734 and was named in honor of Arthur Onslow, speaker of the British Hooso of Commons. Jacksonville, formerly Onslow C. 11., is the capitol. The county has recently voted in the affirmative ou the proposition to invest sixty thou sand dollars county lionds to run thirty years in a railroad through her territory looking to a continu ous line from Norfolk via little Washington and New ISerne to Wilmington thus conitituting in reality the Atlantic Coast Line. It would be useless to undertake here to allude to the advantages the pro jected road would confer upon this isolated section.

She bears the ear-marks of her honored old mother and ever has with alacrity obeyed her injunc tions. Her population is sparce but good middling in quality, a most excellent nucleus upon which o build a populous and thrifty ettlement. Much of her best lauds are yet untouched Baye by the turpentine dipper and they are equal to anypme lands, with much nch swamp intermixed. Thecumate from the mouth of Cape Fear to i Cape Lookout. is aptly compared, with Southern California in equili-l brium. At noon daily observations have been noted for the last forty days and the extremes Fahrenheit have been 30 to 5S while only a little north ofnsthe country has been ice-bound. These observations were taken at Swansboro, an old dilapidated and partly deserted town, one hundred and sixty miles southeast from Raleigh Mn the northeast corner at the month of White Qak river, which dis charges its waters here through Bogne inlet into the Atlantic. It is claimed by the resident physician and others of experience in sanitary affairs, that no point in the State is superior if equal in healthfulness to tbis old town, Judging from the. appearance and number ot children visible about the place ; they are a good index. This is true. The influence of the Gulf stream accounts for this equable terapcrature.

Henderson, Commis sioner of Agriculture tor tLe State of Georgia, has issued his report of analysis and commercial values ot fertilizers season 1SS7-S3, and ap 1 npnna tlif fnllnwinn' which ttp nrp ' sent to the readers of The Progres- 1 sive Farmer: If the stable manure and cotton seed have been protected from waste by exposure to rain and sud, the following formul.T is recom mended : Stable manure 650 pounds. Green cotton seed 6-0 Superphosphate 700 " Making a total of 2.000 pounds If the compost is intended for use on soils particular deficient in ' potash, the proportion of cotton sed and stable manure may be re- ; daeed 50 pounds e;tch, and 100 of pounds kalnit used instead. The1 formula) .would then be : Stable manure Cottonseed, green.. Superphosphate Kainil 600 pounds 600 " 700 " 100 " Making a ton of 2,000 pounds These ingredients may be varied crops, mil eiuier oi the above will be lound to give satisfactory results in every class of soils and on all of our cultivated crops. To the above it may be added that if the quantity of stable ma nure available for composting is either relatively greater or less than the proportions indicated in the above formula-, the proportions may be disregarded without detri ment to the value of the practical results. The point to be kept in view is to preserve approximately the re-, lative proportioning oi the three ! elements, ammonia, phosphoric acid j and potash. This may be substan tially accomplished by preserving the relative quantities of cotton ed, acid phosphate and kainit, as given in the second foimula-. This would give about one per cent of ammonia, and three fourths ef one per cent of potash for every Ave per cent of phosphoric acid. The addi- tion ot stable or lot manure in whatever quantities would not ma- teriaiiy aner tuesu relative percent a. Imt wmilrt Rimnlv rlnp Piw-h ; in about the same ratio, and to the ' extent of such addition. ' If decorticated cotton seed (the , kernels of the seed) be used instead of the whole seed, use half the ' quantity. If the meal b used, reduce the quantity of one-third of the weight of cotton seed in the formula? given. These substitutions, in the qnanti - ties suggested, will not materially alter the relative proportions of the three elements, but will make a more concentrated fertilizer. If the proportion of 6table ma nure be greater or less than stated in the formula1, increase or diminish the quantity applied per acre, ac cordingly. Farmers can save much of the immediate profits on sales of ferti lizers if they will club together and buy from first hands, in twenty-ton lots and upwards, the ingredients Crown colonies to take care of them reqnired, to wit: acid phosphate, "selves, refuses what they ask, and cotton seeu meai anu potasn. n ; tne saving win oe one dollar per ton on account of sacks. There is no mystery whatever in mixing or manipulating fertilizers.

The under- taking is one of the .greatest on record, and Richmond losses one ef her chiefesfc objects of interest for northern tourists. A Dispatch reporter somo years ago interviewed a ntftcber of hack - men as to what it was in Richmond tnat most tourists hrst wished to ; see. The answer from nearly all , was '"Libby Prison.'' Richmond has the finest monu- , mental pile of bronze and granite in the world, it has the oldest American canitol and the oldest State records; it has within her 1 i tu i ts the graves of Chief Justice Marshall, Monroe, Tyler, A. P. II ill, Stuart and Pickett; it has the church where Patrick Henry made his speech, "Give me liberty or give me death ;" it has the house where President Davis lived while he waged one of the mightiest of modern wars; it has a thousand other things that ought to interest the man of mind but the northern and western tourist above all wished to see Libby Prison. Hereafter they will not come to Richmond they will go to Chicago to see it. Josiah Cratty, one of the corpo rators, in talking of the scheme, said: uIt should be understood that there is no idea of waving the ' 'bloody shirt' in this. It is simply a business speculation for what; there was in it." Richmond Dis- j patch. i Fronde Contrasts America and En? lojid. Men speak of the sacredness oi ""erty.

From the 6mall, tattered news boys and bootblacks, matching pen- nies on tne sioewaiKs, to lanitiessiy seems to be for speculation. Com menting on this tendency, a writer in a late number of the American Magazine tells tue following. A young physician who has made more money in buying and soiling land during the last year than he could expect to make with his pills anci powders in nan a iiietime, anu whose mind was taken up more with his speculation than with his practice, called upon a patient one d.ay last summer, and alter making the fact.

Vauchan, Profess - or of Physiological and Pathologi c.il Chemistry in the University of and those of Dr. Vaughau's friends j who have witnessed the experiment j and their results declare that the j germ theory in typhoid lever is now ! a settled lact. The cat inoculated ! showed all the symptoms of the disease, especially "that of a greatly lightened temperature, a symptom heretofore lacking in all other cases of inoculation. Dr Vanghan, in , reference to his discovery, said: ! '"Last August there was an : epidemic of typhoid fever ,iu the village of Iron Mountain, a place in northern Michigan of about 4,000 inhabitants. Part of the town was supplied with water from a moun tain spring and part from private wells from six to twenty feet deep. It was noticed that all those who used the spring water escaned the ! disease, while those who depended j upon the shallow wells were gene I rally stricken down. In all, there were many hundred cases;, ml about 1 forty deaths. I secured some of the water from these shallow wells, and witn it experimented upon a num ber of cats, finally obtaining, after labors protracted over a period of six months, the result which I an nounce to the State Board of Health." On one of our railways a short time since a spoony young couple from the rural districts occui ied a front seat in one of the bars. As the train went through a short tunnel tln-y indulged in an affec tionate enirace and kiss, when the train suddenly emerged Irom the tunnel and pulled up at the station. The brakeman, as was his custom, called out "Sawyere!'' (which was the name of the place). To the surprise and nmuseme-nt of the passengers, the girl deliberately re piied : "I don't care if you did: I reckon we are married." ' iuw imi near, ahcm.
