the year round. We are glad to note that the Re-
formed Dutch Church. on the corner of Fifth avenue
and Twenty-ffth street, will not be closed during
The present month"; the pastor and consistory having
decided to keep it open during the Summer, although
it may seem decidedly " uafashonsble" to do 70.
The Rev. Dr. Tying held morning and evening services
last Sabbath in his chapel, which was comfortably
filled, and would doubtless have been crowded had
his pensioners generally known that the sdiHce was
open.
LEMONS FOR THE SoLDIERs-The appeal Of our
correspondent c. A. p, for onions. has, we believe,
been literally responded to, and the health of the
Army Of the Potomac has been greatly improved by
the supply of fresh vegetables sent down 10 the
men. We would now urge that among the contribu.
tons TO the health and comfort Of tho soldiers in the
field, especially iu hot climate there could be mono
more valuable than liberal supply Of lemons. AZ .
means Of quenchng thirst, and in the camp as pre-
ventive Of the scurvy, they are invaluable, and
ought to be supplied by the Commissary Depart
ment. Wherever suffers have them, they are
greedily bought up by the soldiers ct dime each.
1t is fact, perhaps not generally known, that the
juice Of the lemon has most marvellous efficiency
in alayipg thirst especially in hot dsy-s single
lemon will domore in this respect than any quantity
of water that can be swallowed, and lemon is easi-
ly carried in the soldiers haversack. Furnishing
supply for those going into the field would cost but
little, and often prove most grateful relief.

meeting Of surgeons was held at the Park Barracks,
DR.. Detmold in the chair. There was a full Board

ISOLATION, its services being longer needed, since

cannot be AWARDED to these scientific and benevolent
men, who have at great sacrifice devoted themselves
day and night to ,he welfare of sick and wounded
soldiers. May the blessing of those who were ready
to perish be their reward.
