gK For I ho Times. About Orohard Grass. ^have been sowing Orchard Grass for some .uMfcrs and think it the best grass for upland ^tistares wo know anything of. It will stand * more grazing and hot sun than any grass 1 have ?ver tried. I have sown thoTall Meadow Oat, Italian Rye, Peronnial Rye and Orchard Grass, all together. The latter took possession of tho ground, in a rich piece of very opeu Timber land. " Break tip the ground at least twice with a long scooter plow, harrow, and then sow ttro bushels of clean seed to the acre, aud brush in. This seems like heavy seeding, but it will pay in getting a good stand. It will do to sow from now until the 1st of November. The books will aay something like this: It is very nutritious and very palatable to all kinds of stock. It gives a bite earlier than almost auy other grass ; is permanent; will bear viuac nuu wviisiniib viuppiug , biuiiuo ocvcrc drought, nnd when cut will, in r week, give another good bite to stock. It is, therefore, Admirable as a permanent pasture grass. It blossoms with clover, gives a very large proportion of hay, grows a speedy and luxuriant aftermath, and, with olover, makes a permanent meadow." If your friend wishes any clover "in his," one and a half bushels >of Orchard Grass and :two gallons of clover seed, mixed, is the quantities I would advise. By the way, Mr. Editor, suggest to your friend t to help you establish an Agricultural column or two, in your paper, aad advise him to tnke the vMr Southern Cultivator and Amjmean Agricultural. * - - - '?

Wherever a true man, faithful and heroic overy inch to his exalted mission ; broadly liberal in all his views ; bringing to his labors a mind originally brilliant and enriched with all the acquisitions and adornments of long years of C arduous study ; wherever bucIi a man is appreciated, and the good of his life and his lubor felt, there will the death of Dr. Duncan be deplored and there will his memory be fondly cherished It suffices that we join in the expression of sorrow and sympathy which will flow in one volume from North and South when the sad news is flashed abroad that this Prince in Israel has prematurely gone from his place of labor.

Thus the lameut for his death will begin with the first citizen of the Republic; it will reach through thousands of the humblest, who were no loss his admirers and friends.?I'eter*bur</ Index, 25M. Cut This Out. It May Save Your Life. ?There is no person living but what suffers more or less with Lung Diseases, Coughs, Colds or Consumption, yet some would die rather than pay 75 cents for a bottle of medicine (hat would cure them. Dr. Bosciikk's German Strut has lately been Introduced in this country from Germany, and its wondrous cures astonishes every one that try it. If you doubt what we say in priut, cut this out and take it to your Druggists, Gibbes & Co., and get a sample bottle for 10 cents and try it. Two doses will relieve you. Regular size 75 cents.
