HrsroRIcAL IxAccuRAcIEs.-In a late mum.
Der of your paper, were exposed three errors
in a floating paragraph of five lines relative
10 the death of Gen. Washington. The fol.
lowing is another specimen of the same care
less publications:
THE Baptist church was organized in
1899, and has s79l churches. valued at Sl9,-
93l 1882, and accommodating '.l30,s76 per-
sons"
"a church having "churches," with a
s'value" attached in dollars, and an approx
nation TO the number of persons they may
" accommodate" is very much of "mixed
metaphor" blind and lame. But let me cor
rect the positive errors.
lst There is no "the Baptist church" those
who hold that name being themselves judges.
There is a sect or denomination of Christians,
called Bap,ists, sub-divided into other persua-
sions, each forming independent worshiping
congregations or churches" the pious mem.
Der of which, in the judgment of charity, are
also members of the general assembly and
church of the first born whose names are
written in heaven" But there is but one "the
church, and that embraces all true believers
I'd. The German Protestant theologian, DR.
Mosheim who fourished over century since,
states in his celebrated Ecclesiastical History
that "lhe true origin of that sect which &C.
quired the denomination of Anabaptists, is hid
in the remote depth of antiquity" Upon the
promulgation of the Reformation by Luther
persons holding the fundamental tenets of the
Baptists sprung forth from concealment in va.
rious parts of Germany, England, &c. John
Thomas, in l77s. published book in which
he gives History of the Baptists in Wales
/ from the year So after Christ. Robinson S
History Of Baptism refers to records of the
Bishop of Ely establishing the fact that Bap.
tist church existed in Chicester in l457-4O0
years ago.
Sd. 1t is true, however, that the first Baptist
church in America was founded in l639-ai
Providence, r. l., and that the Census of 1850
gives s,79l as the number Of ofBaptist"church.
es' in the United States. But the "churches'
there referred to are the houses of worship
only-and their value is put at ten instead Of
nineteen millions. The number rofreal"church-
es" of baptized believers connected with the

A suit was lately tried before Judge
Culver, Of Brooklyn, on claim for servi-
ces as lobby agent in Washington. Tbs
defendant took the ground that the servi-
ccs were of nature against public policy,
and won his case. Lobby agents must
therefore hereafter get their pay in ad-
vance, or run the risk of losing it.
ANOTHER VIcrIM-Major George NJ
Nair, who was attacked on the sth of Jan.
last with the National Hotel disease, died
this morning without struggle. His
death will cast gloom upon his old asso-
ciates of the war of 1872. He was 50
years of age.-Vashington Star, IL ut.
The South (newspapsr) is very much
displeased with Governor Walkers con-
duct in Kansas, and charges him with
intending to bring Kansas into the Union
free State. The South may rest assured
that if intrigue could decide the matter,
Slavery would triumph in that Territory.
1t is stated that the Alabama Confer
cncc of the Methodist Episcopal Church
has unanimously voted in favor Of expun-
ging from the Discipline the general rule
forbiddins "buying and selling of men,
women, and children, with an intention to
enslave them."
Mrs. Patten, the woman who 50 heroi-

is said to have been frequently tried and

HydrophoJia or Bite of a Mad Dog
Wash the bitten part Immediately with
warm vinegar or water, and after the wound
is dry apply thereto few drops Of muria-
tic acid, which will neutralize and destroy
the poison of the saliva and cure the bite.
An English journal says that an old Saxon
has urged this remedy with perfect success
for the last fifty years. This is the SIM
plest remedy have yet seen-lct it be
tried.
Baltl.,ess Of the Head.-Rubbing the
head once or twice day with the surface
of raw onion, till the roots Of the hair
are moistened, will, i. is said, prevent the
hair from falling off And q mixture Of
brandy and sweo. oil is said to be very
good for cleaning the hair and making it
grow.
Tooth and Gums-Washing the teeth
and gums every morning with salt and
water will preserve them and answer all
purposes af the costly dentri6ces used BY
fashionable people. DR.. johnson in his
"Economy Of Health" says, "The mouth
should be rinscd in hot water aud then
Immediately with cold every morning
throughout the year. If this were regu-
larly done in infancy the dentist might shut
bis shop" Others tell US that the best AZ
tiels for heepiuy the teeth clean is soap-suds
made out of the puress white soap, for no
other soap should be used for this purpose.
Liyhtning-Persons rendered insensibls
by stroke of lightning, may bo revived
by pouring cold water over tho face and
head
Bal Smells, Iatections, dc.-Dissolve .
pound Of copperas, (si1 cents WORTHY in
gallon of water, and sprinkle the water in
your privy and over your drains, bitches,
&C., producing noisome smells, and it will
speedily remove the smell and make the
air wholesome. If the smell be very bad,
double the quantity Of copperas should be
used, with as much ground plaster as will
form thin paste.
CAUTIoN.-Most people are in the habit
Of throwing of a portion Of their winter
clothing on the appearance Of one or two
sunny days in carly spring. The young
are very fond of doing this in order to don
their summer clothing. But it is very
dangerous pracIlce, auo urinss more SICK
ness on people than most persons imagine.
Therefore if you value your life and health,
keep yourself and family warmly dressed
until the mi3ale Of June, however much
the increasing heat may occasionally make
you scratch your biting skin, as it is bet
ter to scratch than to catch cold, get sick,
and have a heavy doctor bill to pay.
Again-"Never enter sick room in q
state of perspiration, as, the moment you
become cool, your pores absorb. Do not
approach contagious disease with an emp
ty stomach, nor sit between the sick and
the Ere, because the heat attracts the thin
vapor."
In conclusion let me add, am Mother
an NJ. D. nor a quack, but gather useful
information from all available sources, 80
that 1 may know something Of the various
professions and pursuits of life.

When Freedom in her splendor bright
Unfured her banners 10 the morn,
Proud glory CLEANED from every height,
And loudly rang her battle horn;
For courage sat on every brow,
And every eye glanced proud and free,
And every heart had made Its VOW
To live or die with LIBERTY;
And proud the trumpets' joyful swell
Rebounded through the azure sky,
And out through every ringing dell,
And under every whispering tree.
The tyrant heard The Weakening peal,
And uembled for his iron sway,
Whilst proud on every glistening steel
Refulgent shone high Victory;
Columbia's giant rocks among
Re-echoed loud the joyful strains,
And every valley caught the song,
And ali the mountains and the plains
Were free, we're free! Wen brook no chain,
Away with manacles and kings,
To despo, mods we neer can dcign
Whilst LIBERTY hath Angel Wings
They fought-and DER their glorious band
The spangled banner proudly waved,
Bu, firm in heart and strong in hand
Were they who Freedoms birth-right saved;
They were the "rustic hounds Of war;
0flron grasp, and bearing high,
Aud brows of courage, which TO mar
Was bu, 10 do, or else 10 die.
Then sing We nations, for the brave
Were found amongst the .hardy few
Who coursed the land, and skinned the wave,
And did what towards fear to- do.
With falchions bright, and hearts of oak,
They raised their glistening swords on high,
And fought their way wherever spoke
The trumpet voice of LIBERTY;
And soft their peans sounded, when
The sun of Freedom shOne more bright,
And gathered DER those hardy men
lis haloes soft with glorious light.
Then sing aloud-theT sons are here
With hearts that burn with Freedoms fame,
Ani brows that pale with no strange fear
Whilst Freedom own glorious name.
Behold, IN one, united band,
They raise the standard of their power;
The breath that warmed our infant land
BreatheS stronger round us every hour;
And these are they on whom that breath
Comes with holier. purer fire
For naught but Liberty or Death
Can ever southe their high desire.
Then shout aloud for BY their might
Our happy land is ringing DER
With FREEpox's voice, and every height
Re-echoes 10 the sounding shore.
Then hail ye Sons of Liberty,
Yestrong in hand, and firm in heart,
On may your glory ever be
To cheer and nouriSh every ART!
And when the glorious sun shall sink,
In faded splendor, 10 the tomb,
His final tomb-beyond Times brink
Your gleam may cheer the darkling gloom.
Then shout aloud, awake the song,
And swell the trumpets' joyful peal;
Three hail! ye Of the dauntleSs throng,
May Time your splendors all reveal.

Turnips among Corn.

wish to call the attention of my
brother farmers to the fact that turnips
can be grown amongst corn with very lit
tie trouble or expense. I have raised
them for several years in the following
manner: After the cultivator went through
the corn the last time for the season, l
followed that with the turnip seed, sowing
broadcast; boy follows dragging hand
rake, and it is done. Last year used a
drill with better success than broadcast.
Two boys can keep up with the cultivator
one to pull, the other at the handles.
Put one row of turnips between each row
of corn. Iof course am alluding to ground
that will bring a good crop of corn; in
poor ground it is useless to put turnip seed
or anything else among corn. l have
tried several kinds of turnips and find the
Yellow Aberdeen and White Norfolk to
produce the best. The latter I think is
the most productive. The seed can be
procured at almost any of the seed stores
in the city, at one dollar pound; pound
l think is sufficient for five acre field.
Now consider the cost and trouble
not in comparison to that amount Of tur.
nips to feed during winter and spring. /
do not consider the corn injured in the
least by the turnips, as they grow princi'
pally after the corn is cut of.-[SIMoN,

He had good supply of honey, and gave
US one hint which may be worth remem-

when any of his bees were short of honey
in the winter, instead of giving them hon

the bottom beard inside of the hive, and
the bees taken out the kernel more nicely
than mice could do it.

this Valley is inexhaustible, and may be
used forty years without requiring manure.
No pine trees to be seen, but oak shingles
and cedar fences. Wheat generally badly
