This checked the upwsra movement in prices We must

After making this deduction from the estimates
submitted, it will be seen the expenditure, exc!u
sve of police lamps and gas, for 1883 is estimated
Mt s. 314 93S, which is increase that Of
1852 Of 81 sos $50 This increase is accounted for
by the continued and rapid growth Of the city.
The various public improvements required to meet
the demands Of the public and the age, the actual
expenditure Of 1852, largely exceeds the estimate
The amount required for police is $6l5 600, which
is the estimates OF 1852 of $75, 900,
which occasioned by the increased plumber Of men
required TO meet the increased demands upon the
department, for the protection an security of life
and property. The amount required for lamps and
gas Is $500 000-sn increase Of 800 600 1852,
in consequence Of increase of districts lighted by gas
The whole amount for which application must be
made TO the Legislature for authority TO levy, 10
So 229 1888 and the whole amount levied for 1853,
for City, County and State, is 81 93l S02 49, which
is an increase Of Sal POI on the levy Of 1852

Science Made EaS

The following which we copy from one of
our rural exchanges will pass without sugar
coating:
There was a lawsuit not long ago, and not
far off, i'll which the value of an OK (atelv
deceased) was in question. \ witness testi-
lied that the OK was very aged, and having no
teeth, his hay was swallowed without being
properly masticated; and that the rough un-
chewed hay, had in his opinion, worn hole
IN the stomach of the OK, and caused his
death.
W, the defendants attorney,-who by
the way, wasa thorough scholar. differed wide
ly with this philosophical witness, and adj
dressed the court thus:
The stomach of an ANIMAL said he. is a
membraneous substance, composed Of great
number OF coats or layers, and though small
IN It's natural state, is very flexible and tie
naclous, and capable OF distention to an al
most unlimited extent. 1t is therefore i'm
possible that any substance should wear n
hole IN 1t, besides, the gastric Juice would in
short time 50 soften the hay, that it could
not possibly wear away the stomach
Col. --, the opposite attorney. who had
introduced the witness, replied:
If the court please said he, YOU have
probably understood little that the gentleman
has said, on account of the technical language
he has used | shall explain the matter. so
that you anunderstand it, and then youwin
see that the gentleman is wrong. In order
to do SO, 1t is necessary to explain the mean
ing of these technical terms
The membraneous coating of the stomach,
which the gentleman speaks of, is nothing
more than the hyferneuton of the interreg-
mum, this having collapsed into magnus b0-
mum OF the sternum perceptable, the ger
ranlum OF the rhodumptum intersected the
lower extremity Of the popteeble. and pro-
lapIcated the mucus of the convention This
having produced confederation of moral
deficiency, the propulsion Of the hay obstru-
ded INTO the outer convcxlty of the pomatum,
and tioored the bovine exhileration of the OK.
and caused his death
Of course the Colonel won the case.

Bones as Manure

Many OF our farmers do not vet comnra-
hend the great value Of bones as fertilizer
and therefore, still neglect the application of
them to their fields. This should not aud

thoroughly intelligent on the subject of agri-
rlculture. The predominant ingredient in
bones, phosphate Of lime,) is essential to
every nuuitive vegetable, for it is only frcm
these that grazing animal, the OK the horse

their massive frame work. the skeleton on

Phosphate of lime does not, like lime,
potash, and some Of the other inorganic parts
OF plants, abound in most soils, but the avail

are speedily exhausted by large crops, and
we must look then TO furnishing the soil with
materials Tor the formation of bone or vege-
tatlon must dwindle. Every other ingredi

may exist there, but if phosphate of lime be

soil, the effect is sometimes shown bv a less
proportion in the forage grown upon it. and
the animals are not therefore capable of ex-

diseased. This evil is said to be remedied
by administering bone meal, fine, freshly
