Mr. Thompson was a merchant and Post Master at Sugar Valley and was a de formed man. On Wednesday morning his remains were found near his store, his face much bruised and his skull split open. Near by was a bloody axe, and an extinguished torch. Ilis wife was found in bed and from all appearances was killed with a sledge hammer or per haps with the head of the axe. This couple occupicdasa sleeping apartment a room in the rear of the store, and there were no other persons in the house. A lady living in a heuso a short dis tance off heard persons talking in the night but her suspicions not being excit ed she fell asleep again. There is an in tense excitement in 'the neighborhood wliore this foul outrage was committed. The affair is all wrapt in mystery, and no clue discovered yet by which the murdorors'ean bo detected. Mr. Thomp son was an industrious citizen and high ly respected. It.is supposed the scoun drels stole about seventy dollars to com pensate them for their villainy.

One passenger ticket lias been found, witli tho name of Ellen Skecham. A despatch to the Cunard Steamship Company, from Cape Sable, says that tho steamer's lights were soen on Cape Lodge at three o'clock on Monday morning; at daybreak her spare and pipe were standing; at ten o'clock they were all gone. The ship settled fast.— There was a heavy sea running moun- tains high and breaking over the wreck. Communication with the spot was im possible. It is probable ail hands were lost, unless the boats loft the ship before day, whicli is unlikely.

PROFESSOR MAFES’ iillrogenlsc4 Superphosphate . Of Lime. Patented November 25, 1830. FOR WHEAT, CORN, BOOT CROPS, COT- TON, Ac. TYRIOR TO the year V84T, Superphosphate JL bad been made in England, by treating burnt bonus with sulphuric acid, and by the formation of sulphato of lime, thus abstract ing one atom of, lime from the bones, 6 solu ble phosphate had been formed. In 1847, J. J. Mapes mode a series bf experiments, thus: ho found, analytically, that Peruvian Guano contained the neecssary elements for insu ring the growth of plants, but not in the right relative proportions to eaeh 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 of Peruvian Guano, twenty pounds of sul phate of ammonia, formed a mixture every way superior to Peruvian Guano, and that it would not excito tho soil, but would con tinually odd to its fertility. He had found that one barrel of blood, fresh from the animal,'mixed with a cord of organic matter, would, by fermentation, pro duce a manure equal to a cord of well rotted stable manure, lie further found that sev enteen barrels of blood, when dried, would make one barrel, and that blood could be procured at coraparitircly little cost, in cer- ;aln sections; that it could bo dried by cook ing and pressing so as to produce a dry pow der, and by adding to tho above named in- redients an equal weight of dried bullock's lood, a manure is formed one hundred pounds of which are epual in power and lasting ef fect to one hundred and eighty-five pounds of the best Peruvian Guano. Since lie has offered his invention to tho farmers of the country, some fifty companies have imitated this article under various named, and for tho purpose.of rendering it uiar, have traduced Prof. Mapes and nil elo, claiming to make that of a superior quality. Every year presents new imitators of this article, who manufacture an inferior article, using the mineral phospstes as a ba sis. instead of the calcined bones of animals. Notwithstanding all this, the demand for Mapes’ Nitrsgonised Superphosphate of Lima has doubled. Peruvian Guano contains an excessive amount of ammonia, the only use of which is to render water oapable of dissolving a larger amount of the inorganio constituents of the soil, or as sometimes called to act os an excitant. The market gardeners of New Utrecht commenced some years ago by using two hundred weight of guano to the acre; they are now compelled to uso twelve hun dred weight of guano to produce the same effect, and their lend is evidently impover ished by its use, while those who baVo usod the Nitrqgenised Superphosphate of Lime, have steadily found their soils to be improv ed, and instead of requiring more, they re quire less fertilising material each year. And this is particularly true of Tobacco and Cot ton lands. Among the advantages arising from the le of Nltrogeniied Superphosphate ore 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. Goodwin and others, if gives a greater weight per acre of cotton. For Wheat, it has steadily prov. ed itself to be superior to the Peruvian Gu ano; when in contact with seed, it does not destroy it as' does tke Peruvian Guano; and it supplies the deficiency of the Phosphate of .Lime and othor ingredients; produced bl excessive reaping of grain and andne pas turage. The reports of the farm of the inventor, of tho Amerloan Institute, and committees of other institutions, wh i have visitod it, altho’ it is manured entirely with this'fertiliser, prove that no manure lias yot been used which produces an equal amount prof' Tbe American Institute have just a thoir Silver Medal to Professor Mapes, for the best fertilizer, after a most thorough investi gation into the merits of all in the market The subscriber has been appointed Sole Agent in Augusta for the. sale of the above fertiliser, and guarantee/ that its constitu ents aro the materials stated aboTe, and no thing else.
