The Fourth in Centreville.

Il LAO Ill SO41L ON A4ASs
The Thurman Division Sons OF Tenn
perance turned out and marched with
music in front to Cherington's Grove.
The platform, which was decorated with
twining wreaths of evergreen, bearing
upon its front in mystic letters those
words characteristic Of the order;
Glove, Purity and Fidelity" contained
the choir, officers of the Division and
Speakers Of the day. DR.. A. S, Combs,
w. P, occupied the Chair After sing
ing Temperance glees and patriotic airs,
the exercises begun with prayer by Rev.
Edward l. Jones. The Declaration of
independence was read by Capt, J. Her.
bert Evans, prefaced by few explana-
tory remarks followed by singing
"America" by the choir. The political
issues of the day were discussed in an
able manner by Rev. D. /. Jones, Of
Delaware. The speaker took very rad
ical ground, and maintained his posi-
ton by sound argument. After sing
ing a patriotic air, the principles and
objects of the Sons of Temperance were
set forth in a beautiful and elegant ad-
dress by Rev. w. Gardner, of Centre
vile.
Dinner was now announced, and
baskets were in demand. Eeach family
brought its own store of picnic cake,
pies, &c, and shared with any friends
and neighbors so that none should go
away hungry. A refreshment stand
was also provided for the occasion,
where sweetmeats, lemonade, &c, were
dispensed for consideration.
After satisfying the inner man, calls
were made for volunteers to deliver i'm
promptu speeches. A. NJ, Waddell
Esq was the first to respond, and deliv-
cred such telling blows to liquor sellers
that Rev. Edward l. Jones, of Racine,
who succeeded him, moved that A. NJ.
Waddell be appointed lecturer on
Temperance. The motion carried with
tremendous applause, the whole audi
ence rising to their feet. Upon the con-
clusion of his pertinent remarks, which
were well received, it was strongly hint
ed that the young folks, land some of
them not quite so young,) wanted to
celebrate a little more emphatioally, and
begin some sports not laid down in any
text book on teetotalism or patriotism.
Accordingly with the customary "oh's"
and 81 don't want to's" by the young
ladies', and gallant urgings and insist
ings by the young gents, (no small and
uninteresting game itself) plays broke
out in different portions of the grounds,
wherein this magnetic touching of hands
and forming circles, lin fact some looked
at times as though trying to square the
circle,) went on with ever increasing
mirth and jollity. The lengthening
shadows of the old oaks in the grove
warned the gay throng that the day was
fleeing, and homeward they turned
with many shout and laugh, only re-

The tomato is one of the most
healthful, as well as the most universally
liked of all the vegetables Its healthy
qualities do not depend on the mode Of
preparation for the table; it may be
eaten three times a day, cold or hot,
cooked or raw, alone, with Or without
salt, or pepper, or vinegar, or altogether,
to like advantage, and to the utmost
that can be taken with an appetite. Its
healthful quality arises from its slight
acidity, in this respect as valuable, per-
haps, as berries, currants, and similar
articles; it is also highly nutritious.
The tomato season ends with the frost.
If hung up in a we'll ventilated cellAry
with the tomatoes hanging to the vines,
the Glove apple" will continue to ripen
till Christmas. The cellar should not
be too dry nor too warm. The knowi-
edge of this may be improved to great
advantage for the benefit of many who
are invalids, and who are fond Of the
tomato.--Scentfc AMERICAN. .

WHAT IS IT2

We notice that nearly allthe meadows
in this and the adjoining counties. are
filed with q weed, on the top of which
is white blossom. These weeds are
30 thick that some of the meadows look
Ike field of buckwheat. These weeds
are about as high as timothy. They
are hardto cut with o scythe, and we
presume stock will not eat them; so
that they will be a great incumbrance,
as we'll as roofing out the grass from the
meadows. We noticed patches Of these
weeds in a meadow we have in the
south part Of town, and we supposed
that they would spread, and the only
remedy would be to plow up the ground
and cultivate it in corn or potatoes for
year or two. We spoke toa man, one
Of our citizens, who was moving in
this part of town, and he said that sons
farmers told him that this weed might
not again make its appearance for years,
as it suddenly appeared, as it did this
year, and then again disappeared for a
time.
Can any Of our readers, who are en-
gagged in farming, tell US what is the
name Of this weed, what is its habits,
and whether it is likely to become a
fixture in our meadows} ---

Not Too Late to Plant and Sow.

Not Too Late to Plant and Sow.
If there be any land in the garden
from which early crops have been re-
moved, it should not lie idle, for it is
not too late to get another crop than
weeds, from it. If q crop has failed
from bad seeds, late frost, insects, or
bad luck" which is usually another
name for neglect, it is not too late to
put in another. There are yet three
months at least Of growing weather."
and it is not too late to do q good
amount Of gardening. The whole class
of salad stutfs can BIZ kept going--cress,
radishes, lettuce, and endive, the best
Of all late salads, Pickles are to be look
ed out for, and cucumbers, the staple
pickle, may be planted now with good
results; melons will make fruit large
enough for mangoes, gherkins, the little
prickly West Indian fellows, may be
grown if one likes them, and Nastur-
tiums will grow famously in the hot
months Bush beans, for snaps and
pickles, and a patch of Early Swee:
Corn may be put in for late supply.
Young beets and carrots may be had for
the sowing, as may Kohl-rabi and spi-
mach. Now is as good a time as any
other for sowing ruta-baga and French
turnips. There are probably other
things which may yet be sown. Better
plant every spare space and get only
partial return, than to allow it to run
to weeds, or to keep it clean aud get
nothing.

When to Cut Timothy.

~ A." Mexican Co., Pa, writes
soundly:
"One says cut timothy hay early
and another says cut it late I have
tried both ways with working cattle and
mich cows, and I value one ton Of early
cut hay above two tuns OF late cut hay.
The stock eat the early cut hay clean,
waste none, and thrive much better, and
do a vast deal more work, than on late
cut hay. Ii the season is favorable, I
am generally nearly through having
when others commence. Late cut hay
may last longer, and bass-wood chips
would last longer still. This question
would be settled forever, if men would
try the experiment fairly"

One Sabbath afternoon, a Sunday
school teacher observed two boys play
ing at marbles by the roadside. He
stopped, told them how wicked it was,
and succeeded in persuading the worst
one to accompany him to school. The
lad was decidedly fast youth, of about
eight years. In the class, among other
things, the teacher told him that ''Ged
made this beautiful world, and all that
was in it; we must thank Him for the
good things we enjoy. He gives us our
food, and our Clothes" q r.
"Does be give me my clothes, tool"
asked the lad. ..
"Yes, He gives us everything"

Singular Phenomenon-Automat-
ic Movements Of a Corpse.

S1uS uIdI ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AuLOu4dL-
ic Movements Of Corpse.
A man named James Haywood died
in New York about twelve o'clock on
Friday morning, at the Westchester
House, in the Bowery, of cholera. DR..
Waterman, of the Board of Health, saw
the body, and pronounced the case one
of cholera. An undertaken was called
in to lay out the corpse. In a short
time DR.. Waterman was summoned
again, and told that the man was not
dead, the hands, arms and eyelids hav-
ing moved several times. The underta-
ker was frightened, and fed from the
house, saying the man was alive, and
that he would not touch him again.
DR.. Waterman found, it appears, that
the movements had been caused by the
relaxing of the muscles of the body.
The man died of spasms, and the mus
cles were tightly contracted. After
death they became relaxed, causing mo-
tions which those present mistook for
evidences of life. DR.. Waterman had
never before witnessed a case of this
kind, although he had read Of them and
knew their meaning by the singular
symptoms. Physicians understand that
automatic movements of corpses occur
occasionally in cholera cases, and also
wherever plague prevails.

Fanny Fern, in chapter, How
to preserve woman" addressing ladies
particularly, says: keep away from
the stove or register. Air that is dry
or burnt, more or less charged with
gases evolved by the fuel, is poison.
Coup stairs and make the bed with nit
tens on. Fly around the house like
mad; ventilate the rooms and open the
shutters to the sun, too. Don't set bent
up in a single room, with double win
dows. Delicate fruit will not retain its
form, color or flavor in air-tight cans
neither will woman. They need air

attended previously too little to exer-
cses during these operations of rushing
about the house, put something more
