NcxY Kear,r Day.

Last night closed the old year-ths morning
begin the new. TO all our friends, readers. fol-
lowers and disciples, male and female, we wish
many deli ghtful returns-to our enemies, small po-
tatoes. We thank patrons for what they have
done for us and shall endeavor to oustrip our past
labors in the coming efforts.
We have reason 10 be thankful. Since January,
1882 the circulation Of tho Herald has quadrupled-
il is now over t,centy Mousaad-and calculating the
readers at Ave to each paper, it forms list of one
hunired thousand daily readers. We may well be
proud of our popularity and patronage. We have
fve editors aud reporters, six CORES pondents on
this continent and four in Europe-employ also
hundred and twenty men and boys, clerks,
compositors, pressmen, engineers, agents, boys,
and devils of all kinds. Our annual expense
enormous, yet such is our patronage, that since May
last, we have cleared in hard cash, all eX-
penses at the rate of seceieen thousand dollars per
aanum We are still the increase, and expect
next year TO clear S25 200 over all expenses-and,
what is more, we know how to take ofour money
when We have got it, and 10 make il tne seeds OF
future good. l never speculate, or lend to any.
We have also silenced and put down all our
mics, which were formed of the combined press Of
New York. We have begun great moral and
social re vouion, and W hole life shall be devoted
TO its devslopement The world is in the midst Of
q great moral crisis. We have liberty too much
laws too many-phosophy too much-banks too
many-polit;ciaus too many-fnanciers too many
We want more morals-more industry-more meek
ness-more religion-more love for good and hatred
of evi doors.
With these remarks let start fair for the
ing year. Let every visit his acquaintance,
and may the day end in happiness

PRESERVING WINTER AppLEs.-Last April
a year, ! visited a friend, when he made me a
present of alarge dish of fine favored ap-
pies, and it being out of season to have
apples in such a good state of preservation,
enquired his mode of keepingthem.-
He informed me that in the fall he made
la box six feet deep, which he sunk
into the ground to a level with the surface,
when he filled the box with sound apples,
and covered it with boards in the form of a
root, but leaving an opening at both ends.
The roof he also covered with straw and
earth, to the usual thickness OF an apple or
potatoe hole. In this condition he leaves it
till the apples are frozen, but as soon
as a thaw comes he makes it perfectly tight,
and in a few days the frost is altogether re-
moved and the apples are as perfect as when
they were taken from the trees.
am aware that this is an excellent plan
because know that most Of the apples and
potatoes in holes rot and decay, in conse-
quence of a warm and foul air accommodating,
having no %opprtunity to escape. thought,
however, to improve it. | consequently last
fall turied my apples in the usual way: then
| took four strips Of one inch boards and
haiieu theih toSot"eI III TIC oiu vi CLi'h
ney, leaving a vacancy in the middle Of
one inch square; this l placed in the centre
of the apple hole, the end resting on the ap-
pies inside, and the other end projecting W
feet above the ground. The vacancy in the
chimney was barely sufficient to permit the
foul air to escape, and not SO large as to let
the frost in to the apples. My family, DUR
ing the winter, whenever they wished to
have apples for consumption, only removed
the chimney and reachedin the hand to get
a supply, and then replaced it again; and |
can assure you, that of eight bushels that
were thus buried, only three rotten and five
or six slightly affected apples were discov-
cred, whereas my ~neighbors, who buried
their apples in the old fashioned way, lost a
large quantity.-Abany Culiuator.
