Il is not only itn?s portant to decide m to what crops shall be grown?having in view a judicious rotation B ?but to'providc thorofoi suitable fertilis^rifyis There is so much' uncertainty ij the eommerolal fertilisers oo0 in Tt^MH that few of tWirn provo as reliable and vajH uble as reprosantcd. For this cogent fjMffil sou it will be wiso for farmers ao4 entirely. Those whodepcud solely or mainly upon homo ni ids manures, not only know they have something valuable, and that cau be reliod upon, but arc not subjected to the losses and disappointments which so often nappcn to cultivators who place their entire i dependence upeu common fertilizers. This is the season when all engaged iu i said culture should attend to tlio compost i heap, and wo trust noue of our rural readers neglect a matter so essential to their i prosperity. Speaking of "compost," and how to prepare it, a couteiaporary in the I Northeast gives some hints which are also < applicable iu the South and Southwest.? It pertinently says that many farmers manufacture hundreds of loadsofthe best manure in this way: They gather together ou the premises forest leaves, cornstalks, iu eluding the roots, weeds, vines, offal from i fence corners, muck Irom ponds aud ditches, occasional sprinklings of liuio through < the mass, layers of barnyard manure, and t thus build up obloug squares and let rc* \ main over winter. When April arrives t the mass has gono through fermentation [ aud comminution, atd presents a mound of g fertilizing matter better than a small gold mine would be to the proprietor of the farm. But we want to see these compost heaps in the gardeu, aud there is no reason why they should uot be there as well as upon the farm. There is rubbish enough in the garden, with the assistance of leaves, some mould from tho woodi, if attainable ; if not from portions of the premises w.iero it can be spared; scrapings from tho turnniko - 1 1 manure from the stable, and every nttaina- t ble suftfiiancn that, will iLuuji Lhriuivh llui J winter. A little slaked lime will be a good r assistance. A half dozen loads of excellent t manure will be manufactured by the time I it is wanted iu the spring, without incur* I ring a cent of actual expense, and at the same s time tho garden will bo cleared of its vines* i stalks, weeds, &c. j These suggestions are timely and w irtliy t the attention and action of all interested i in the culture of the soil, whether in Geld i or garden The making of fertilizers at home ] is nil important and proGlable industry, aud uo one should neglect that great source of large crops aud cousequeut prosperity, the compost heap. There are various other sources of fertility which it is tho peculiar 1 province of tho wise cultivator to utilize, but which wo will not attempt to evou 1 enumerate in this councctiou.?Hon D. DT. Moore in Southern Industrie*. 1 .?. i Flowehs Fuiuiidden at FuNEtt.vr.s.? ^ The ecclesiasticil Synod, which held its 8 sittings in St. Patrick's Cathodrcl, New , York, and whoso deliberations came to a , close on the Dili of last month, issued do- | crocs which arc now iu tho hands of the | printer ami will bo published about the , middle of this uiouth. They arc not to bo L sent to Rome for ratification, as has been j supposed, lor they relate to mutters ol rnor- { uls and not of faith, and therefore do not | require Roman ratification. Thoso most | interesting to the public aro a decree for j forbidding priests to attend dramatic oper- . atic performances in theatres, one forbidding y clerical attcndunco at race courses uud ouo ( making the wearing of the rabba or Roman collar obligatory upon p.iests There is also a decree prohibiting tho use of flowers ] at funerals, oxccpt in tho caso of young s children, where they may be appropriately j used as typifying the innocence and purity ] of the dead. None of tho decrees deal with I the amusements of the laity. 1 For Burns and Scalds.?Nothing is f more soothing than the white of an egg; J which may bo poured over the wound. It i is softer ns a varnish for a burn than collo- ' dion, and being always at hand cau be ap- < plied immediately. It is also more cooling than the sweet oil and ooltou which was fui* j merly supposed to be tho surest application 1 to nllay tho suiartiug pain. It is tho contact with the air which gives tho extreme discomfort experienced from tho ordinary 1 accident of this kind and onythiug which excludes tho air and prevents ioflauinatiou 1 is the thing to be at once applied.

I have thought of it a thousand times, and I know of no parallo' to it. "It was iu the Clay campaign of 1844.-\n immense audience, fifteen or twenty thousand, had assembled to hear Preston. A. largo stage had been erected, which was srowded with prominent persons and the nultitude was packed around it. There was the usual buzz an l confusion incident ,0 such occasions, uatil after l'rcaton thud >ecn speaking a few momenta, when it be ?un to subside, and soon there was a'% dead uleiicc, except the music of that wonderful ,'oico. lie was in fine condition for his vork, and went at it in his host style.

A White Lady Assaulted uy a Mod. ?On Wednesday of last week a uiob ol colored women wont to the residence of Mr. 1*. 1<\ Boone near Doru's Mills, and made in assault upon Mrs. Bonne, one of the women with an opeu .knife and several ithers with clubs. Mrs. Boone's daughter, iged 14 years, attempted to interfere, to protect her mother when she was struck a iovere blow with a stick by one of the aegro women. Mrs. Boone succeeded in warding off their attacks aud finally made icr escapo into tho house and taking down lcr husband's shot gun weut out again when he negroes fled. It appears that one of the women had been in the employ of Mrs. IJoone aud had been discharged on suspicion >f having stolen som! articles from the louse, and being inccased at this she coL ected a mob and made the assault upon Mrslioone aud her daughter.

The bodies had been stolen from tho Lebanon Cemetery, a burying ground for colored jersons in the lower part of the 'city. The jrisonera are professional "Resurrectionists" ind their operations have been carried on for a ong time. The detectives visited the cemetery ground and arrested Robert Chew, its supcriuendent, and Andrew Mullen. When the bodymatchers were brought to Court yesterday they narrowly escaped lynohing at the hands of a mob which gathered around the Court. l'tiiLAUKLPiiiA, December 7.?At Lebanon Cemetery thirty g aves were opened to day. Prom about half of them the bodies had keen itolen. The health department will not allow any more graves to he opened until it shall have ascertained whether tho person interred died from contagious disease or not. Lynoiiino itt Louisiana.?New Orleans, December P.?On Wednesday night the jail doors at Bastrop, La., were broken down by a determined body of indignant men, and Tom Robinson and Rill Cepas were .taken out and hanged. Publie opinion it in sympathy with the lynchers, no desire to And them out being manifested.? Last Saturday ? negro named Wesley Andrews endeavor d to murder a white man named McDowell, eight miles from Bastrop. The negro has been captured, and reports nre that Judge Lynch settled his caso Inst night. Indulgent juries have aroused the people, who are determined t tat outrageous crimes shall not go unpunished. i S IIow to Impuovk tiik Housk's Walk ? Wo will take, to begin with, a horse ol tho slowest walking pace, say about three miles per hour. To improve this, put him alongside of a horse, cither led or in harness whose walk is about three and a half miles per hour; and when tho three uiilcr has couio up to this, then pu' him alongside ol a four uiilcr. and so goon increasing until he has reached the utmost limits of pace it is possible to get out of him.' Af.or this in riding or driving keep him up steady to this best pace, and in process of time it may become almost natural aud easy to him. it is best to begin with at cmpt to only increase his pace half a mile per hour is, if we tried at first to do it fastcv than this the horse would bo constantly breaking into a trot to keep up with his companion, aud iu consequence, his walk would not ho improved. The object is to keep him steadily to a walk, and not permit him to break it. Trotting horses are improved iu the same method; they are kept as strictly to this pace as possible whenever exercised or used, aud not allowed to gallop. If they break into a gallop at any time on being urged to do their utmost on tho trot, they are instantly chocked aud brought hack to the trot. Hut if a horse is naturallv n J ? slow walker, it will require considerable time and no little patience to much increase his speed at this gait. A reliable last walker must be lorn so, and the best, quickest, and in fact cheapest way to get at this is to breed him. For the purpose, select the fastest walking st .1liou to be found, aud breed him to the fastest walking uiare obtainable. As a gcucral rule these will drop fast walking colts. The fastest of these when grown should bo selected for breeding and so go on rearing and selecting till the breed is as well established for fast walking as those of fast trotters or racer * now arc. Sumo itiintt that special breeding to obtain fast walkers is uot necessary; aud that any sort of a horse can be trained to it. Such doubters have only to carefully com pare the anatomy of a fast walking horse alongside of that of a slow walk.w, to bo couviuced of the necessity of breeding for this special purpose, lor tho differcuce between the two in various nice points will bo found considerable in bone, uiusclo, ten. don, cord, aud to sum up, iu general structure. IMacc a heavy farm or cart horse alongside of a fast trotter or racer, aud see how very diQcrcut they are in make -up ; and how impossible it would be to increase the p ice ol tho former, cither in a trot or a run, to that of the two latter. Tho thing l.i out of the nUCStion?all tho teaching ? ? ? aud training of the worhl could not do it. Now, like, as a general rule, begets like, and if you want fast walkers, in order to obtain tl.eai of a natural, easy, reliable gait, they must be bred from fast walking pircuts.?London Live Stock Journal. ?# ? 1'eksimmons.?Although this fruit grows wild in our Southern States, it is a most delicious one, and there is no reason why they should not form a source of revenue to farmers. Mr. James A. llarwood, of Davidsou County, N. C., has recently shipped to Chicago a lot of this fruit, for which he received ?12 per bushel This gentleman devotes a goat deal of his lime to agricultural experimenting and propagating new varieties of fruits, and it is his opinion that the common persimmons could be greatly improved in quality by cultivation, a id he has now numerous cuttings of the tree from which he gathers the fruit mentioned above and has plunted some of the seed with n view to practically test the advantages from domesticating the wild plant. A U.nivkr9ai. Blizzard.?Washington, Deocmher 7.?Intense cold prevails all over the Northern United Slates and Canada and Great Britain.

All over great ltritain a fierce 9torm rage9. Telegraphic communication between London and Glasgow is interrupted, and also in other diiections. Many wrecks are reported along the liritish coast.

Taking tho human race as a wholo, says an exchange, it is observed that races living almost exclusively on uioat have been the most s.-vago ones.

Where in the last ten years was I'to find respectable clothing, where was I to get money ? Who would give me either ? I tell you it has been from one whiskey shop to another, then to the station, then to the workhouse, for ten years, and I am getting old.

There is uothing more for me in the world but misery. I am broken down. I can never bo anybody now. But onej, Judge?once ?I?was?" Her despondent tone and tearful face, together with her graphic description of her condition, moistened the eyes of many who listened in the solemn quiet that prevailed iu the court room. "Yours is a sad, sad story, Ellen !" said Judge IIigb-y, visibly affected. "Would the infirmary not bo a better place ? "Ob, I would like to go thero if they would take nie. I am very tired." The court continued tho case with a view to have her admitted to the iufirmary if possible. An exchange remarks that if subscribers to newspapers generally kuew how important it is to publishers to have each individual subscription paid at the proper time they would set down in their memorandum book the date when a fresh new voar begins y ^ and would be as prompt as ia the payment of a note in bank, in meeting jit. It is true that so small a sum as a few dollars is not much in the eyes of ninety-nine in a hundred subscribers, but the aggregate of several hundred amounts to considerable and any one can estimatojaudjjudgc what it may be to any publisher engaged in au activo busiucss. . e ?
