rotation to which on? cereal crop Is seldom j
made to follow another, aad wheat may be
own after clover or psas, or on a good
summer fallow. / .
| Ttio rotation should also bo arranged for
frequent seeding to clover ; for the oftoner
a good clover sod ean I o plowed tind-r, the
sooner land can bs made rich, aitd the leas
need there Will be of making Urge amounts
of manure; while there la no other crop in
which caa he more easily and cheaply
grown the material for making a large
amount of rich manure for wheat.
For to grow good wheat in Western
New York, as a general rule,plenty of licit
manure is indispensable. A largo portion
of the laud has bsca so long cropped t?
wheat williuut a pui table rotation, frequent
seeling to clover, or snfUol-nt manuring,
that It ran no longer be relied on to grow
wheat, unices well manured, while there Is '
hut little of our best land on which wheat
would not be largely benefitted by a top
dressing of well rotted rich manure before
Sowing.
I say rich manure, because land that Is
much run down needs something b?<tt. r
than Is usually mad* by feeding straw.?
Manure Is seldom b*ller than \he material
it is made of. If litis is mainly or wholly
straw, it will b# of little viilue; but when
n>sde by feeding plenty of clover bay and
grain or oilcake, it is valuable. J. D. Laws
estimated tits value of the manure n.ade by
feeding a ton of tha different kinds of food,
as follows:
Valua of mannrs from
Descrlplipn ol food " one ton of food
Olhmks . fltf.Ti
JJsens, 15.75
Pee 1S.S8
Oats 7 40
Corn, 6.06
Barley, 6.28 .
Clover hey ".. 0.64
, Meadow hay 6 48
Oat at raw ?.90
Wheat at raw,....... ?68
Rarleyatrnw, 2.15
While this is Intended to ahoar the actual
value of the manure obtained by feeding a
ton of each kind in England, it Is valuable
at ahowing the comparative value of the
manure obtained by feeding the same here.
Still, with wheat at present prices, manure
moat soon be nearly aa valuable here as It is
' in England. However this may t>?, it roust
now lie appnront to all, that.to make wheat
growing snuoessful, we roust ad-.pt some
such course as is now practiced in England
?that in, In order to grow mora wheat, we
must keep mora stock and make more ma
nsre. True, clover doea so much better
here, aa to answsr In pnrt for heavy tnanu..
i"g; yet much of the advantage Is lost bv
not. strictly adhering to some good rotation
ot crop*, like the Norfolk system. So that,
look at tliia question from almost any prac
float point, and the great need of more nod
better manure is at nnoe apparent

Thla new and hitherto unknown grass,

on Sunday night, 3d inst., at Albany,

Is said to have occurred under tho follow

robbery had beoli committed in Albany on
Saturday night, and Sunday morning a pnrty
of cititcii*, including the decerned, went in

ahead in the pursuit, came In ch>?e contact
with the supposed thtof, and fired at bim several
time?, but without effect. The party returned
to town, and that evontng, about 7
o'clock, Mr. K. walked down to tho hotel, and
finding several tnen engaged in conversation
respecting the robbery and pursuit, joined in
tho conversation. Tho men wore sitting in
chniis iu front of the hotel, and ono of them
uauiod lletts rose from his seat and Itskcd him
who he was, to which E. replied, " my name is
Emerson," and repeated it for the third time.
Tho uinn then asked, " Who are you and what
nto you," to whioh K. replied, " I work for a
I dviiig; I utn a hard-working man." lletts
I said, " Clear the way, men," and iurtnodiutely
drew his pistol and fired twice, both halls entering
the breast, and Emerson fell doad, with,
out (peaking. The murderer was 'formerly
Colonel of the 14th Alabama Hegiincut, live*
iu Atlanta, is a notorious gambler, and liaa
murdered six men. Ho trtado his esempe, but
two of his friends and accomplices, who were

Tbe deceased had been in Albany bnt a fow
months, and had won many friends who now
siQceroiy mourn his untimely death. The
futiorcl services ware performed the next day
by Rev. Mr. Qailiard, of Greenville, 8. C.
These are the particulars, as obtained from

xi> ? Oil the night of June 11, 18-14, a fuiil
murder was committed in this city. A Mr.
Lyons, an English Hebrew, who kept a
watch and jewelry store, and livi d hy liiin
self, on the premim-a, on East Hay, after
wards occupied by the Mercury office, next
door to the French Coffee House, and who
was supposed to he a man of considerable
wealth, was found d?ad in liia bed the next
morning, witli nis throat cut from ear to
ear, and no due could lie found to the mmderer.
A tespeotablc man wis afterwards
tried for the deed, but there being no evi- I
dene* against him, lis was acquitted. The
excitement about the murder gradually
died away, and it was only recollected ns
a strange and hoirible mystery, which had
never TW. l -f..?
J ? J vWv. day,
a gentleman of tliie city received a
letter from a friend in Hungary, elating
tliat a brigand who had lately been executed
, in hia ueighborhoo.l, and who called
himaelf Pappi, had confessed juet before
hia execution, that lie had murdered n man
by the name of Lyons, In Charleston, in
1844, when he himself wna connected
with a Mr. Eppiug. in the drug t>iwii|??f?
The Hungarian correspondent wielieJ to
know whether there ever had been ruch a
murder committed here, and whether there
was eueh a drug establishment as that of

beyond doubt, that the ni)itcrlous murder

Dimmer house flowed a sparkling stream, ;

the rustle of the reed* upon the bsnk, and ,
it sounded to him like the crying of that ,
poor widow's children, nbd he grew uneasy
upon Ids cushions. - ,
Tlien he listened to the rushing of the 1
brook, and it. seemed to^iiin that he lay on

command his servant lo restore her house
to the poor widow. Rut she and her children
had gone into the wood*, and Were
nwwhere to be found. Meantime the tempest
was at its height, and it thundered and
raiuel furiously, and Chryses wandered
about, full of remorse.
Another day, Chryses heard that the sick
child hod starved in the woods, nod the
mother, with the rest," had wandered far
away. Then his garden and summer house
and cushions became hateful to liiui, and
lie no more enjoyed the coolness of the
