A YEaR or two ago the Eloman Catholic Church in America was shocked by the anouncenent of the failure of Arobbisop Purcell, of Cini. 4innati, for hundreds of thousands of doiears deposited with Iim by mem bors of the church for safe keeping. Though no stigma attached to his In *egitv, Investigation laid bare a case of fright ful mnismanagemuent of fiude. An effort made to liquidate the amouut 4lue by subscription utterly failed. The Archbishop and ie brother Ed ward, who had been lits agent, were overwhelmed by the catastrophe. Two weeks ago Edward died, and on Wed 3tesday the Archbishop hinself was hopelessly Aricken with paralysis. The confilding depositors may learn a lesson to invest their money in sound business ventures hereafter, aid not to place their teinporai affirs in the hands -of spiritual advisers.. The State's Duty in the Coming Trials. It Is stated that the plucky little State of Delaware has instructed its Attorney General to defend its citi zens that have been arrested by Fed. eral imarshals on the charge of violat lig the election laws. It has been' suggested that the LegIslaturo of Souuth Carolina meet In extra session and makeo an approrielation for the defence of those citiens of this State who have been bound over to appear at court in Charleston. While there may be soine doubt as to the propriety of the State's tidertaking to defend Private iirn c harged ith alleged private violat ions of' lawi, the is none wantever as to hoe pe imlra Iive duity devolvingr upion her to defend to the utmo4t er swOrn iersriA tle anira gert, State constables and depruty Sher iff, who conlducted the election alnd Preserved the peace ai thile d plli confortuoitny With tie Stat. law, the m1ore espec11, ia a these officers s(!rved voluntatrily, wilhoet pay or reward.

IFon TI S NHWs AND U1RALDj - CKE1NCE' IN PAIMIINU. An Instruatiwe and Interesting Letter 01 AgieItural Geology, with Wino Jints tc Farmers. Geo. H. McLaster, Esq. As the schools of our day taught lit tie of cheinistry and geology, thougl these sciences are highly necessary t( understand the formation and con struction of soils, and as we are lao professors but homespun farmers, w will claim the privilege of using ou homlespun language in what we Iay' to say oil this subject. The outer surface of the earth i generally covered with loose or sol matter, in contradistinctiou to solid as rocks. This sand, clay, etc., I formed from rocks, either by disiite gration, decomposition or :by havin been crushed, ground or abraided b some natural caue. To the extren outer or upper crust of this coating constituting a thickness generally o f.en one to evcral Inches, we appl: the term soil. To the next inner cris of one to several feet we apply aiotlhe term, subsoil. Still another term ina be applied to the layer under the sub soil, of from fifty to one hnidred fee think. This is substratum, and this like the subsoil, has a very importani bearing oni the character and availabilj ty of the soil. 1f the ,tubsoil is too porous valuabi Ing-redients may s'ink into it and b lost to plants. .It it is pure Or pip clay, it will be too stiff and impervit u to waiter, and will keep the soil frony draining inl a natural way and tharow i1g oiits superfluou.s water.
