Furniture, Furniture. A splendid assoi tmont at Mills & Sum- tors Ware rooms, and also at the rooms of W. N. Ducker. It is really refresh ing to notice- the improvements that hare been made in the manufacture ot Furniture in the past two or three years in this place. Five years since thero was none mado here that would now be called fine, and the common artiolos were only manufactured to a limited ex tent. Now thero are about fifty hands employed in th'tB branch of labor, and some of the furniture turned out is in ferior to none made any where. The work put up here is made upon honor and from the very best of material. It is nono of your paste und putty work, mado merely to look pretty for a littlo while and then fall to pieces, but it i made for . “service” and “durability, and yet is as ornamental as is compati ble with these qualities.

Choate’s Coolness, At the time of Mr. Choate's great •eecli for Buchanan in Lowell, Mass., there was a sudden settling of the hall where they were. A Lowell gentleman, Hon. Boqjamin F.* Butler, well known as a lawyer and politician, volunteered to go out and examine the supports un derneath. He did so,- aud, to liis sor row, ho found them in such a state that if there should be the least rush ot the audience they would inevitably give way, the roof and floor would go togeth er, and all wonld be involved in a com mon ruin. With great fortitude he went quickly oack, and, to prove there was no danger, walked the whole length of the crowded hall up to the platform where the speakers and presi dents were. As he passed, Mr. Choate leaned down and asked him if he found dan ger. The gentleman, keeping his face perfectly unmoved, so us not to frighten others, whispered into Choate’t ear with characteristic abruptness, “If we can’t get this crowd out quietly, we shall all be in h—11 in five minutes.” As might have been expected from so blunt and terrible a communication, Mr. Choate's face became ashy pale; but tie contri li ed himself and. sat perfectly steady.— The gentleman mounted the stage, as sured tho people there was no real dan ger, but to guard against the mere pos sibility of danger, he advised them to withdraw quiotly, very quietly into the open air, where the speech would go on. In fire minutes the ball was clear. Dreadful as had been the moment’s shock to his feelings, Mr. Choate’s hu mor did not even desert him; for as he stepped from the hall himself, he said to his friend who had made the announce ment to him: “And did you really think, my friend, just now, that I was bound for the same plaoe with you f” Skating in Crinoline.—Two young ladies, Misses Temple and Williams, while crossing the Mississippi ot Du buque, Iowa, chanced to stop upon a spot in spongy ice, and each went through. Crinoline was of essential service, for it kept them from being sub merged further than the waist till assis tance came. They reached the shore in safety, though not a little chilled by their moonlight bath on a February night. Incendariis in Atlanta.—On Sun day night lost, while Mr. Wright Rogers, who lives on Collins street, was at Church, his house was fired by a torch.

PROFESSOR RAPES* '"HMiWVr! Of Limfei. Patented November 35, 1659. FOB WHEAT, CORN, -ROOT CROPS, COT TON, Ac. TVRIOR TO the year 1847, Superphosphate JL had been made in England, by treating burnt bones with sulphuric acid, and by the formation or sulphate of Ume, thus abstract? ing one atom of lime from the bones, a solu ble phosphate had been formed. In 1M7, Jr J. Mapes made a series of experiments, thus: he found, analytically, that Peruvian Quaao contained the necessary elements for insu ring tho growth of plants, but not in the right relative proportions to eash other. He instituted a series of experiments, practical ly, by which he proved that one hundred pounds of burnt bones, treated with fifty-six pounds of sulphuric acid, thirty-six pounds or Peruvian Guano, twenty pounds of sul phate of ammonia, formed a mixture every way superior to Peruvian Guano, and that it would notexoltethe soil, but would con tinually add to its fortuity. - He hsA found that one barrel of blood, fresh from the animal, mixed with a cord of organic matter, would, by fomentation, pro equal to a cord of weU rotted He farther found thatxev- etatoen barrels of blood, when dried, would make one barrel, and that blood could be procured at eomparitively little oost, in cor- ain sections; that it could be dried by oook- ing and pressing so as toproduoe a dry pow der, and by adding to the above named in gredients an equal weight of dried buUoek’s flood, a manure is formed one hundredpounds of which are epual in power and lasting ef fect to one hundred and eighty-five pound* of the beat Peruvian Guano. Since he has offered his invention to the farmers of the country, some fifty eomptnies have imitated this article under various names, aud for the purpose of rendering it ular, have traduced Prof. Mapea and his eg to make that of a superior DOMESTIC LIQUi * SUCH AS Ryei Bourbon & Monong’hela WHISKIES) foblt-triwly.

Affection of the liver, stomach, and other organs concerned in digestion, are tho most frequent.

The use of Hostetler's Celebrated Stomach Bitters will provo an eflleiont remedy for this evil, it will not only strengthen tho whole physich.1 or ganisation, but entirely cure the most obsti nate cases of Indigestion, Dlafrhssa, Dysente ry, and Liver Complaint.

Terms Oaab. SSL L quality. Every year patents new imitators of this article, who manufacture an inferior article, using the mineral phospates as a ba sis. instead of the calcined bones of animals. Notwithstanding all this, the demand for Mapes’ Nitregenlsed Superphosphate of Lima has doubled. Peruvian Guano contains an excessive amount of ammonia, tho only use of which is to -render water capable of dissolving a larger amount of the inorganic constituents of the soil, or as sometimes called to act as an excitant. Tho market gardener! of New Utrecht commenced some years ago by using two hundred weight of guano to the aare; they aro now compelled to use twelve hua dred weight of guano to produce the sam< effect, and thoir land Is evidently impover ished by its use, while those who have used tho Nitrogenlted Suporphosphhto of Lime, have steadily found their soils to be improv ed, and instead of requiring more, they re- luiro less fertilising material each year. And his is particularly true of Tobacco and Cot ton lands. Among the advantages arising from the use of Nltrogenised Superphosphate are the following: It carries no weed seed to the soil; it prevents rust, and insures the perfect ing of plants; thus, when used on Cotton, the bolls do not fall and. as by the experience of Mr. Lomas, Col Davis, and Col. Goddwin and othara, it gives a greater weight per aero of cotton. For Wheat, it has steadily prov ed itself to be superior to the Peruvian Gu ano; when in eon toot with seed, it does not destroy ft as does the Peruvian Guano; and it supplies tho defieienoy of the Phosphate of Limo and other Ingredients, produced M excessive reaping of grain and unda* pas turage.' . The reports of the farm of tho inventor, of the American Institute, and committees of other institutions, wh « havo visited it, altho’ it is manured entirely with this fertiliser, prove that no manure has yet been used whieh produees an equal amount profit. The American Institute have Just awarded their Silver Medal to Professor Mapes, for the bast fertiliser, alter a most thorough investi gation into the merits of all in the market.
