GUANO FOR GARDENS. WE do not propose to go into a critical analy sis of guano, but simply to state our experience - of its benefits in Southern horticulture. We last season used a ton of guano on mQlons and garden vegetables; and the only benefit which we could find we had derived from the use of the ton was in keeping away-the striped bug from the mebon vines. The season was said to be unpropitious for guano to te, and we have used another ton this season, with no better results. Five hundred melon hills, manured with guano, have not paid for the labor of cultivating. It is true, the season was unfavorable for melons, but five hundred hills manured with stable manure, &c., in the same field, planted at the sane time, yielded a fair crop of large fine melons. On vegetables it is only safe to use it in a liquid state, and were we to speak our- whole mind, it is only fit to use in a liquid state in a Southern climate on any crop. It is urged by those who advocate its use, that the two past seasons have Lieen unfavorable to the develop ment of its wonderfut virtues. Grant it-and we contend that any fertilizer that is so costly and precarious should not be introduced on Southern soil. It is again urged, that there is much of it sold that is not genuine. 'I his we believe. and the Southern cultivator that has his own interest at stake, should look well to the domestic guanos before lie spends his money and loses his time and crop on a worthless imported article. Eve ry farmer or gardener that can afford to buy a Ion of guano, can, by a judicious use of the same money, make two tons of a better fertilizer for Southern soils. The great viitue of guano is said to be in its containing all the liquid and solid excrements of birds. Who saves the liquid manures of the South ? Another great virtue in guano is its phosphates. Who saves the bones about his premises? Were we as anxious to save money as to ;pend it, our yards, streets antdwellings would be nich cleaner, sweeter and healthier; for we should convert ill the offdl and filth into an inodorous and fertilizin.r food for plants. A manure that is so uneertain in its operations, so liable to adulteration, even were it laid at our door free gratis for nothing, das not worth the attention of Southern garden ers; but when we take into consideration its costliness, it must be aI gold-bearingr erop that can bear it under the most favorable circuetan ces. This is our experience in the matter of guano.-Soil of the South. x Utah, on thle death of a man, his property descends to the Mormon church, his wives and children not being recognized as heirs. The church is the sole heir of all property. HYMENIAL. Maa. , on Sunday the 22d inst., by S. Posey, Esq., Mr. THos. J. IAnits and Miss MARY, second daughter of Mrs. S. B. Cloud, all of this District. May long life, good health and abundant success crown the efforts of our young friends. C. grindependent Press will please copy. OBITUARY, DIED, at Ridgewood on the 21st inst., SALLIE I MAx., eldest child of Janics 11. and Sarah .1. olims, in the sixth year of her.age. " Thy will, Oh God! not ours be done !" The uncommon loveliness of disposition, which was developed in one so youngr, can only be appre ciated by that parental love whichi-niouring breathes this simple tribute to her memory. 'Go.l took this precious bud of ours Too pure for earth, too sweet, too rar, To Ifeaven's eternal, blissful bowers, To live and bloom immortal there. J. S. M. IT becomes our melancholy duty to record the death of two citizens of this District, a husband and his wife, who were called to their reward within a few days of each other. Mr. ED:!UND B. BELCHER departed this life on 29th September, and Mrs. MARY BE.CHEa, on 7th of October, each in the 73d year of their a;.te. Of these two persons it might almost be said, as was of Zachairias and Elizabeth, "Anud theyJ were both righteous before God, w::lkin~z. in all the coin mandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless." in D~ecember 18ti9 Mr: &: was-basptized upon a pro feson of his faith in Chrii.t, and becaime a member of the Bevthany Church ; the September following Mrs. B. was baptizeud and joined him in his pious miarchi towards the heavenly world. They raised a fanmily of daughters, whom they lived to see memibers of the Church ; two of wvhomn survive them. In Mrs. B. the graces of the 11oly :Spirit, " love, joy, pece long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, mieekneuss, temuperance," shone mi an enii mient degree. A nd she was a model of feimale piety. Mlr. 11. was indeed a remarkable ntan-reiarka ble especially for his moral excellence. Possessing a conciliatory spirit lie was a " peace maker," both amonigst his brethren, and his neighbors. BWest with a benignant heart, cultivated under the influ enee of divine grace. he :.eemied to love all men and to be loved by all who kin.w himi. I would suppose, if ever a man lived, amid died at his age, ini the Dis trict, without ani enemy, that Mir. EDsmCo BEL cnEs was that man, lie served the State as a i)is trict officer, and the Church as deacon several -,ears, with etitire satisfaction. hlow true the languamge of Solomon, " A good nanie is rather to be chosen thman great riches, and loving favor rather than silver andm gold."' The Church at Bethiany adopted the following preanible and resolutions, as expressive of their feel ings ini reference to his death. " WnEnns,5 In the dispensation of an all wvise P'rovidence, our aged anid much esteenmed brother E. B. BELC.cnL lia lately been removed from our midst by the hiand of den:hi, therefore " Resolved, That whilst we bow in humble sub mission to the will of iim who doeth all thiitgs well, wve vet moturn thte loss of one in whose life and pious walk, the character of the true Christian has been patiently exemnplified. "Recsolred. That ini the deaith of our brother BEi~cnEs the chureb has lomst a faithful oficer and an exemplary nmember, the neigihborhood a good citizen amid one whose getneral good qlualities enideared hinm .to all by whom lie was surrounded. " Resolved, rTat in mietmory of this long tried and faithful servant, these resolutions have a sepa rate page oii our Church book, and that a copy of them be handed to his afieited family." J. M. C. DiED, on .the 14th August 1854, Mr. AnmntosE Rhrr~ev,a5 the 86th year of his age. . Hie was born in thme State of Virginia. andl eni grated to South Carolina when about five years of age. lHe lived front that period till his dleath int this State, andm for upwards of ifty years on thme samte place, where lie closed his earthly existence. When sixteen years of age, he took ui arms in defence of~ his country during the Revolutionmary war, lie was stationed near Charleston, and remained in the ser vice till the close of the wvar. lie was ever regard ed as an upright and hoinest man, maintaining a good reputation throug'iout his life, lie left a nmber of highly respectable descendants, all of whom it is be lieved remain in Soiuth Carolina. DEon the 1sIt August 1854, Mrs. MAarL RirrLEY, in the S3ud year of her age. She was the wife of Mir.
