on the Nine Mile Prairie. For five or six years
the management was to cut twice year, two
inches higher each cutting; for two or three
years, three or four inches, till the hedge had
attained the height OF four or five feet. The
succeeding years 1t WAS cut once year, re-
tanning the last mentioned height. But | be-
came seriously discouraged with It. nogs
would pass through it at pleasure, aud it be-
came more serious job to cut it back yearly.
Last summer mot with an old gentleman from
Texas who informed me that he practice there

by the class. The sum realized from these was
not quite sufficient to procure an instrument
OF the kind desired, but the amount having
been nearly made up, Prof. Grobe kindly do
mated the balance, and the class became the
possessor Of an excellent cabinet organ. The
presentation OF this Instrument to the school,
was The principle feature OF the meeting last
Sabbath. After the opening exercises, coDsis-
ting OF singing aud prayer, al address was
