observed on such occasion
Let the lady advance one pace beyond the
door of the pew she wishes to enter, half about
face and salute. The pew must then be va
Gated by such gentlemen as are in it, by flank
movement. The squad should rise simulta-
neously when the lady presents herself, and
face by the right flank, then deploy into
the aisle, the head man facing the lady,
and the rest walking to hisright and rear, the
direction of the line being changed by right
countermarch, and forming again into line. up
and down the aisle, still faced by the right
flank The lady, when she sees the coast Is
clear, completes her salute, and advances to
her position in the pew. The gentlemen
break off by files from the rear, and resume
their places Great care should be taken, of
course by other parties not to enter the aisle
when this evolution is in progress, until it is
completed.

THE Wheat CRoP-We hear from all
sections of the State that there has recently
been great improvement in the condition OF
the growing wheat Fields in which six
weeks ago there was not believed TO be ly-
ing spire, and which the owners contemplated
ploughing up and planting in corn, now look
green and give promise of partial crop 1t
is worthy of mention that the wheat sowed
with drill has everywhere stood the rigor of
the winter better than that seeded by hand .
This is easily explained by the fact that the
drilled wheat is in all cases covered to proper
depth, while much of the hand-sown wheat Is
imperfectly covered by the harrow or left en-
tirely on the surface This matter is well
worth the attention of farmers.--i'schmosd
