To carry on an intelligent war against noxious weeds, it is necessary to know somewhat of their method of propaga- tion. White daisies, iron weed and other pests which spread from both root and seed, ought to be dug out of the ground previous to the maturity of their blossoms, iu order to destroy the seed crop for that year as well as the germ which produces the stem and blossoms the next. This is accomplish- ed with greatest ease directly after a rain, when the ground is soft. When enemies of this character have multi- plied themselves to suoh an extent as to render (lisging out iml'ractible, the only remedy left is to plow up the in- fested ground before the seed matllreR. Brtrdooks whielh spring ap quickly after bring mown above groun,t will soon succumb provided the cutting is done it few inches below the surface. Elders and briars that thrice perRistent- ,ly in neglected pl'aoes are in ",tune des- troyed by m'owing .'own twice a year, during May and August, ]'lowing up the roots and llat'rowiirg crit the roots is an effective merle, especially when the ground is planted' evith' some swell orop•Fla corn.

The warfare, as has been Intimated, must vary in kind with the nature and growth of the weeds and be increasing: With con- staut cniture,gen'erou5 fertilization and the employment of Olean seed, it is hardly rossible fi)r any weed, however tenacious for life,; to gain possession of one's fields. A CURIOUS CUSTOMER. A HlA�i tVtr0 'WANTED TO ENGAGE BOARD POR TWENTY YEARS. The other day shortly after the ar- rival of a train, a man entered an hotel in this city and asked the clerk, who stood busying himself with a patent blotter, the terms on which he could engage board. 'Owing to the location of yonr room, sir. Big demand for our roums. Feud well.' '1 dant care so mach about the satin' part.' replied the elan. 'I am forty odd years old, and have beau eatiu' about all my life. Its getting to be an old thing to toe. Well, say, give me a respectable room—how much will you charge ?, 'Just yourself, sir ?' 'Well, iu a manner.' 'Two ity-flve dollars per month, in ossa you are al.►ue.' !You see, it's this way :—Aly wife will be with me, but as times are pretty tight, I concluded to arrange it this way ; I'll take breakfast, my wile take dinner, and we'll throw up—wet or dry —for eunper.

Davidson, of Nova Bootie, is now iu St. Tnomas, endeavorin a to es- tablish a plate glass factory. Ile will not accept any tonus from the city, but offers to put in the largest amount of capital of any one of the cotnpany to be formed. This will be en im- portant industry for the conotry as well as the town of St. Thomas, as there is only one such establishment in Amerina, which is in Pittsburg, Pa. Mr. Davidson states that the sand iu the regiuu of St. Themes is the best he hes found in the country, and seems very anxiety to proceed with toe open- ing of the factory.—Toe above is clip- ped from the Lendou Advertiser of Sept. 4. The Tizar man never the less finds fault with the N. P., and says that it is ruining the country, but under the administration of his politi- es) friends, ho never was able to report the starring of any new, or the revival of any old industry, strange that he is so blinded to facts. .02111.1111 Important to Consumptives A gentleman having been so fortunate as to sure his son efOoilauttll)tion in its worst stage4, after being given up to die by the n.ost cele- brated physicians, desires to make known the cure r(. n•1ti uh proves successful in every case) ( Y H(. ) to those atlticted with Asthma, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, Consumption, and the Aiiica- tions of tho Throat red Loup, and will sand tl)e Beelpe, free of elntrge to all who desire it, if they will forward their address to DANIEL ADEli 94 Liberty St,, Now York. 6m. 1)r.
