The first day out the steamer blew up.

Those samples were placed in jars directly from the sacks, and the jars securely closed itnd numbered. The name or brand of the different fertilizers in the several jars, were only known to Mr. Johnson, the name or brand corresponding with the numbers as within on the jars, was recorded by the Secretary, and the record so kept as to pre vent any one having access thereto without the knowledge of Mr. Johnson. The jars containing the samples were then delivered to the Express Company hv Mr. Johnson, and forwarded to Prof. White, and were received l>v Prof. White iu good order. The analysis was made by num ber of the jar, Prof. White not having the name or brand of any of the fertilizers, nor who were the manufacturers, of cither of them, Mr. Johnson never having communicated the name or brand corresponding with the numbers to any one. The analysis of Prof. White was made known to Mr. Johnson, Secretary, who publish ed the result. Jar number !>, was found to contain the fertilizer manufactured by th* Patapsco company, and jar number 10, by the Chesapeake. The commercial value of Nos. !• and 10 falling greatly below the selling prices, aud not found to contain the properties in quautity as claimed b\ the manufactures, it was charged by these companies that they had been injured, and unjustly dealt by. and by the Pa tapsco company, that sample No. !) had been adulterated, and was not a fair sample. The charge went further, and, by implication charged Prof. White, with adul teration. At the instance of the Patapsco company, a meeting of the undersigned, members of the Executive Committee, was held in their office, commencing on the 25th of January, 1875. The Pa tapsco company were represented by Colonel Arnold, attorney, and by l)r. Liebig, Mr. Graffiti, and Air. Gibbons. Prof. White was represented by Col. AY.

He accosted Sum mers, as tlie owner of the residence, and said : “ I sec you have no lightning rods on this house.” “ No,” said Summers. “ Are you going to put any on ?” “ AYell", I hadn’t thought of it," re plied Summers. “ You ought to.

Daring tlie next halt hour the man had his ladders upntid his assistants at work, and nt the end of that time the jnh was done. lie called Hummers out into the yar ! to admire it. He said to Summers: “ Now that is all well enough, but. if it was my house, I’d have another rod put on the other side. There is nothing like being protected tlier- oughlv.” “ That’s true,” said Summers, “ it would he hetter.” “I'll put np another—shall 1?" asked the man. “ Why, of course, if you think it best,” said Summers. Accordingly the man went to work again, and soon hail tlic rod in its place. “ That’s a firstrnto job, r he said to Summers, as they both stood eyeing it. “ I like such a matt as you are. Big hearted, liberal, not afraid to put a dollar down for a good thing. There’s some pleasure iu dunlin' with vou.
