house was for the same purpose as the church
for religious education principally. The schol-
airs were also taught to read and write, but
hat was not the principal. The chief things
taught were the catechism, prayers, and the
doctrines and principles Of the Catholic church.
When the bishops trustees were appointed,
they had demanded from the congregation S
trustees the money and records of the church,
which they at first refused to give up. In the
course of the evidence on this point, it appear
ed that twas customary for the Catholic church
to become the banker of its members-borrow-
ing their money and for this purpose the bish-
OPP and cure were authorized to bind the church
property. One of these notes was produced in
evidence, and was translated as follows:
" BE it known to all men, that the German
Catholic Church of the Mother of God, of Cow

hand-pick in use and that tho work done By
the machine shall bo better than be done by nine
out of ten of the best handlers of the common pick.
The machine makes a clean, clear, thread like mark,
and does net brittle up break the face OF the
It be controlled at the will of the operator in
stantly to make the most delicate lick one with
the force Of ten pounds if required. Every practical
Miller knows that stone ia only required TO DO dress
cd where the proof staff indicates. This be done
by the machine, matter how brittle tender, or
how close and hard the face place the stone
may be- the operator can face il down, or touch as
lightly he pleas.s. There three very good reG-
sons for trying them:
First. With fair use, the machine will last twenty
years Second. 1t is complete within itself and viii
not take Eve minutes, cost Ave cents to try it.
Third. give with the machine thirty TOOLS pick
blades which will last any two pair of stones to be
dressed twice week, for two years, and then any
good smith can replace them for twenty 1--WE cents
apiece.
l have used this machine in my mill for nearly
fourteen months 20 dress both the face and the fur
rows of two pair Of four feet French Burrs and there
has been hand pick used on them in all that time
I know that l mako good yield, and think the
reputation of my mill will warrant me in saying that

ingenious and useful machine for Dressing Millstone

Having recently obtained Letters patent, am now
prepared to furnish the machines, and TO soil State

not only economy in time and tools, but the stone

to handle the machine, and any one who has expe-

sharpen the face of stone for grinding can very soon

RESPECT TO THE DEAD IN PAR1s.-A com.
mon practice in Paris, which impresses
strangers favorably, is that of lifting or ta-
king off the hat as funeral passes. This
is observed by all classes. A little while
since, (says writer) I.noticed small fu-
neral train moving in the direction of the
Madeleine. Evidently the one born to buri-
al was of the humblest class, for the body
was followed only by few workmen in
blouses and women without bonnets. AS it
passed on, hats were taken off by the we'll
dressed crowd, sitting or moving on the walk
by gentlemen in carriages with footmen in
golden liveries, and by men driving their
watering carts through the street. 1t was

Decline i'm the Price OF Bread
StuffSs

l,.., ~. Breadstuffs have materially declined in
To- the Eastern cities for the last fortnight in
consequence of the heavy crops throughout
.lsuEurope, and the probability of there being
very little or no foreign demand for our grain.
.s'It is now ascertained, too, that we have an
lal abundance of grain for home consumption.
s' Canada has also produced an Unprecedented
.,. crop, and will have it is thought, couple of
ora millions of bhshes of Wheat to export; and
49, the late reciprocity treaty between the Uni
'ted States and Canada, which opens the
- Ports of both countries, and admits the pro-
duets Of both free of duty, will attract the
es greater portion if not all this surplus grain
Io to our market. The present high price of
-four must, therefore, yield to lower prices,
'7 when the surplus of grain in the West,
East and South is thrown into market
While we are paying SO per bbl. for flour,
it is selling in Baltimore at $6,75-at New
York at $7a7, ,5O--at Cincinnati at $6.5oa
-sr $40, and at Zanesville, at $7,5Oa7,75.-
,a This disparity in prices, will doubtless give
s2away to the natural course of trade.-SAied

A CONTRAST FOR FARMERs.-Last year
the crops on the continent of Europe failed
= on every side. Famine stared France, Ger
,e many and Italy in the face. We were grow
ing unheard of quantities of wheat and
4 grain, and between the farmers and mer-
b chants we must have made on the years
--cfoPs full two hundred per cent. profit
10 Now the case is reversed. The show of fall
wheat on the continent is good, though the
constant rains have injured some of the finer
I qualities, and the price of breadstuff's is fall
ling rapidly at Paris. Where, on the con-
strary, the continued drought is destroying
our harvest. Unless we have heavy falls of
-9fain within short time millions of acres of
.ccrn will be dried up. 1t would be singular
oh we should have no surplus, and France
should again export large quantities of grain.

ifidraw an ounce Of blood from their veins,
