Religious Charitable Society IN the
COUNTY OF WORCESTER.

This Society held its 18th anniversa-
ny at Millbury, on the 18th inst. The
branches composing it were in general
represented, and large number of Del
egates from various parts of the County
were present. The Meeting was open
ed. as usual, with song of praise, and
with prayer by the President. The
Directors for the last year presented
report of their proceedings, also the Au-
ditor read his report of the state of the
Treasury; both ofwhich were consider
ed and accepted. We were sorry to be
Informed from the last of these reports,
that while the state Of the Church is be-
coming from year to year more interest
ing, and the charities of Christians are
flowing forth in new channels and richer
streams, the receipts of this Society
have been gradually diminishing. Its
average annual receipt, during the II
years Gifts existence, has been 1888 so;
while for the three last years, il has re-
ceiyed considerably less than this, and
in the last, only, 1894 81 cents. We
hope we are not to attribute this de-
crease of its funds to iminution of in
terest, or any relaxation of effort, on
the part of our friends in this region,
in respect to those great objects which
Christians at the present day are asso-
ciating TO accomplish. We know that
much has been contributed, in many Par
ishes within the limits of this Society,
which has not passed into IFS Treas
ury; and the most charitable conclu-
sion is, that in The multitude Of claims
which have been urged before the pub
lie, those of the Society now in question
have been comparatively forgotten
We nope however this may be less the
case in future years. The objects Of
this Society, it appears, are extensive ;
more so perhaps, than those of any
other charitable association in the re-
gion. II was designed, by lis original
constitution, to embrace the three great
objects of Foreign and Domestic Missions,
and Charitable Education and by re-
cent enlargement of its powers, il is al
present authorized TO receive and APP
propriate monies, for any charitable OBJ.
ject whatever. AS there is no object,
therefore, TO which the mind of Chris
tian can be directed, which may not be
aided through the medium of this Socie-
ty, why should il not, to a considerable
extent at least, concentrate the reli-
gious charities offs friends, and be hon.
cured as the future almoner Of their
bounties?
1t appeared from the report of the
Directors, that they have been pursu-
ing with their accustomed zeal, and tc
the full extent Of the means entrusted
to them, the various objects for which
the Society was instituted. Besides al
fording assistance TO the American BoarC
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions
and aiding in furnishing to some in Oul
immediate vicinity, who must otherwise
have been destitute Of religious means

, of the gospel, they have continued to
considerable extent the business Of chal

chance, more than to genius, for many
OF the most valuable discoveries.

Potato stalks and lcaues.-The Chris
tian Observer mentions that an apothe-
cary of Amiens is said TO have recently
obtained new and very lucrative pro-
duct from potatoes, by burning the stalks
and leaves of the plant, to extract the
potash, which it contains 10 abundance.
His method consists in cutting the plants
just when the flower begins to withef,
at which time the stalk is in its full Wig
or. He cuts them FIVE inches from the
ground, with very sharp instrument.
The stumps left, soon push forth new
shoots, which suffice to bring the roots
to maturity. The plants cut down are
left upon the field eight days, to dry
them properly. They are then burnt,
as the manufacturers of soda burn the
alkah, in hole FIVE feet diameter and
two feet deep, washing the ashes and
evaporating the ley. 1t is said that
$500 lbs, weight Of the salt may thus be
obtained per acre, besides a considera.
bic increase in the crop of potatoes, &C.
casiohed oy tnis mcae OF management.
Br:ck-making-A patent or privilege
has been obtained at st. Petersburg for
press for making bricks, which is not
only to diminish labor, butto perfect the
forms of the brick. By means of this
machine not only bricks both solid and
hollow, can be made, but tubes straight
or crooked, cornices, flutes for columns
and architectural ornaments. The pa,
tentee is a M. Thomas, who propo-
ses to establish model brickyard with
improved ovens for baking the bricks,
Three or four men can produce, it is
said with this machine from ten to
twelve thousand bricks daily Of different
forms.
