Mr.. EDIToR.-According to mutual
arrangement made between the u. p.
and o. S. Presbyterian Sabbath Schools
of Centreville, they assembled at the
church of the latter on the 4th inst, at
IL o'clock, NJ, to celebrate the day in
manner appropriate on such occasions.
Long before the hour appointed for meet
ing, groups of children could be seen
going to the place appointed for meeting,
with joyous expectation depicted on their
countenances, which such occasions
always excite. At the hour named, the
scholars, teachers, aud others present,
were formed into procession by W. O.
Breckenridge, Chief Marshal, assisted by
III. Ii. Vincent and j. W. George, As
sistant Marshals. The procession nuns
bered about 500, and was headed by a
band of music Each school had very
beautiful and appropriate. banners, which
were made by the ladies, and to whom
great praise is due for the skill and taste
displayed by them in this, as well as iu
all other departments assigned to them
The procession proceeded to the grove
selected on, the farm Of Mr.. VIM. Big,
ham, adjoining the village but soon
after getting there, a storm came on,
when it was thought advisable to return
to the church, by which time the storm
was ended, the air was cooler, and the
sun shining, which contributed much to
the enjoyment of the occasion.
After reassembling in the church, the
following list Of officers was read, and
| they took their places. Prof. Thomps
| son, President Nathaniel Cooper, VIM.
Bigham. Geo. Reed, and VIM. Vincent,
Esq RS, Vice Presidents; Jas. Midnight
and III. s. bingham, Secretaries.
According TO the programme made out,
the exercises we're opened with prayer,
by Rev Mr.. Williams, pastor of the
Presbyterian church. The choir then
sang the piece entitled America. The
Declaration of Independence was read by
Rev. Mr.. Williams. Singing by the
| choir.
Prof. Thompson, chairman, addressed
the audience in an able manner, showing
the increase and progress of Sabbath
schools in the United States from their
origin to the present time. The address
contained notwithstanding information,
aud was listened to with marked atten-
tion by all.
Rev. DR.. Walker, of Plaingrove, had
been invited and was expected to be
present, but failed to come, when Rev.
Williams was called upon, and responded
| in short extemporaneous address to the
children. in which he succeeded in gain
ling their attention and keeping it to the
| close of his remarks. He referred to the
interruption of the proceedings, caused
by the storm, and showed that we are
sometimes disappointed in our expecta.
tions by the providence of God, yet we
should not murmur; and that Provi-
dence overrules all for our good, and in
the end his providences always result so.
The remarks of the speaker were very
appropriate, and, without doubt, left a
good impression upon the hearts of all.
At the conclusion of the address, the
refreshments, of which an abundant sup
| ply was provided by the committee, was
served by the teachers and others ap-
| pointed for that duty.
| After few remarks by the President

the practice of total abstinence from all
Intoxicating beverages is the only safe
basis for pertinent temperance re-
formation; that the traffic in Intoxicating
beverages should be rendered Illegal,

that there is left out OF the original as

there is difference of ninety Psalms be-

is, Rouse, in putting the Psalms into mo-

would make ninety Psalms as long as the

A reading public will not forget the
fact, that slang and billingsgats are the
last resort of vanquished opponent
However severe men may be in argu,
ment, it manifests want of good breed,
ing for controversialist to contemptu>
ously treat his opponent. The pnblic,
then, will! pardon me if do not reply to
an article found in the citizen of July
Bird, over the signature Of VIM. Allen, in
his style, and with his animus. 1t pur-
ports to have been written at Allen Dell.
Webster says dell means hollow place
This article, then, found its birth at AL
len holio,c place, near Whitestown. 1t is
strange that Mr.. Allen did not give us
the point of compass and number of links
from the aforesaid Whitestown. And
then the aforesaid article was born on the
2Sth of June, in the year Of Christ
1867" i do wonder where Mr.. Allen
found that word "Christ.". l can assure
you that he did not find it in Rouse's
Psalms, and that if he is consistent
Psalm-singer, he never sung that blessed
uame in his life. Now, l have not in
this done any thing inconsistent, for fair
controversy allows me to say what / may
think proper, of any mans productions
but it does not allow me to bemean my
opponent. The intent Of Mr.. Allen in
his last article is to show that the authors
of many of our hymns are men of bad
moral character He does not say tbs,
but there is no doubt but that this is his
purpose. Now, if history does not per-
vert facts in most glar'n9 manner, no
one of the Poets mentioned would suffer
in the least, by being compared with
Rouse, in point of morality. 1 do not
except Robert Burns or Tom Moore
The difference between Mr.. Allen and
myself is this do not parade the pro-
ductions of these men mentioned by him
before the world as the word of Cod"
while he claims for Rouse's effusions the
infallibility of Inspiration. l fatty deny
that Rouse had the ability to translate
the Psalms at all, or that he even at
Iemptod to do SO. He only attempted to
put the English version into metre, and
he made miserable failure at that. 1t
is conceded by the learned that our pres
ent version Of the Bible is as nearly COR
rect as any version ever was, or perhaps
ever will be- We propose to give a few
specimens of Rouso's in.allible transla-
ton, and compare them with the prose
version.

Farm Work for August.

In England where the small grains, such as
rye, barley, oats, but principally rheat, are
the staple crops, August is the great harvest
month of the year. Our great harvest COM
mences in Jnne, when we begin to secure the
hay crop, which is even then laying down on
rich grounds. The gathering of this import
ant crop continues through July, August and
into September, in some parts Of New
England, where some of the late meadows
ere left uncut up to this late season. We
have seen good fodder taken from them du-
ring the first week of the latter month.
August is the time when most of our cere-
ais are harvested--he rye, barley, oats and
wheat In securing the grains. the practice
used to be to let the straw stand until the
berry became ripe, hard, and changed from
It's milky appearance to a dark brown color.
In this condition some portion of the grain
too much to be lost-would be shaken out
every time the straw was handled, in cutting
it. gathering, tying up, loading and unload
ing-and what renders such an operation
more Objectionable, is the fact that when the
grain is left to harden on the stalk, it is not
good as when cut from seUen TO fourteen
days before it is thoroughly ripened. 1t 10
lighter, per bushel, is not 30 nutritious, and
if ground, the -four is not 30 1" handsome !"
and will not make 50 good bread. as -four
will from grain cut earlier. This fact has
But our prime and splendid harvest is that
of Indian corn, which is begun in September,
and frequently does not end until some time
in November. When allowed to stand too
late. the grain receives no injury unless the
stalks are broken down and the grain lies up
the ground, but the fodder il considerably
reduced in value. This crop is not only ex
cecdingIy valuable in itself, but is valuable
in the preparation of sod lands to receive the
smaller grains--for it fOurishes best on new,
or sward lands. Flowing and hoeing the
crop three or four times during the summer,
pulverizes, enriches, and admirably prepares
1t for wheat or any of the smaller grains the
following season.
The meal from Indian corn is a universal
food All anima like it-biped and quad
ruped horses, oxen, COWS, calves, colts,
swine, poultry. dogs, even packs of hounds
that are kept for the chase, are frequen tly
fed warm Indian banock, morning and
night. 1t is wonderful how many ways it
can be prepared so as to be not only nutri-
GUS but exceedingly agreeable to tho taste.
In s. corn DODGERS brown bread, 1" Indian
puddings,'' CORR fritters, corn starch, and
many others which the '' cook book > would
tell us about it we had time to turn to it.
The stems and leaves, also, of the corn plant
are largely used in a green state for feeding
to miIch cows, and when dried they are our
best fodder, next to English hay. A crop
every way so valuable should not be checked
bg growth of weeds, or by neglect of hoe
ing and otherwise stirring the soil, and es-
pecialIy if the season is dry one.

ToPPING CORN.-While we have no doubt
that corn is injured by this practice, We do
not hesitate to recommend it. We lose some
thing in the weight of kernel, but grain in
the fodder and materially in managing the
future harvest it is worth while perhaps, to
60 a little more particularly into the matter.
The leaves of plants perform two important
functions evaporation, which principally Is
effected by the lower surface, and by which
he water that has been absorbed by the roots
and absorbent vessels is carried off in part,
leaving the residue in the form of concentrated
juices and, second, respiration, by which
carbOnic acid is t,ken into the circulation
of the plant and performs an important part
in the conversion of the proper juices, and in
preparing and maturing those elements which
constitute the nutri ious quality of the fruit.
This process must of course cease when the
parts which perform the Office are dest Dyed.
1t would seem that such must be the effect
produced by topping corn and though the
proper process may still 60 on by means of
the few leaves that are left below the topping,
it will be feeble and partial, the corn will
ripen by evaporation me ely; or rather both
the evaporation and the respiration will be
diminished, to the consequent injury of the
grain, which will have less of nutritious
property, and less weight will be more liza
bic to ferment. and to lose more in weight
by the end of the winter. By the process
named, the proner secretions of the plant are
in ripening rapidly converted into sug gar; and
80 far as the tipping checks the respiration,
it would also diminish the saccharine quality
and render the corn less agreeable to the
taste. as well as less nutritious. But after
having tried both ways, we incline to the
opinion that the loss is less to top it, than to
suffer the top to stand, and dry up and real
ize the inconvenience in harvesting -N. f.
