EFFECT OF BAD SEED.-How slight thing
will sometimes have serious effect. For in>
stance, the farmer prepares a large field Of
corn, plants it with bad seed, as Is often
done, and the labor is all for nothing. He
has to plant over, and then he will get a late
crop the drought will effect it, and some
times the frost. If a third planting is neces
sary as is sometimes the case, the matter is
still worse. With wheat and the other
grains, the crop is generally failure. Plant
ed at the right time, re sowing must be too
late, aud thus defeats the crop. Now, with
little care good seed may be had-and then
all this evil will be avoided. Is it not sheer
careiessness We canpot be too careful in
getting ripe, sound, healthy seed.-Rral

the Bishop. At the close of the sermon, the can.

the apostolic rite, by the Rector, the Rev. E.
CoAN. This impressive ceremony over and
another eloquent address by the Bishop. to the
candidates, the benediction was pronounced and
the congregation about TO be dismissed, when
Senior Warden Dow arose near the chancel. and
asking the congregation to tarry a moment. read
the following resolutions as having been adopted
by the Nestry of the parish, prefacing them with
appropriate remarks:

the opportunity of his visit in our midst to assure
him OF our aftectionate regard, and Of our ready

to the new Stone Yard of Mr.. Louis GAGEL.-
Coming here less than two years ago stranger

There can be had not only the coarser kinds of

We understand that Mr.. G.. is not only skillful
workman in this branch of his profession, but
that he has had much experience in the higher
works of art, having designed and executed some
of the finest statuary which adorns so many Of
the Cemeteries of the old world. Mr. G.. is now
engaged in making plans for our Soldiers Monu-
ment, and as this enterprise seems to be secured
beyond the shadow of doubt, we say by all
means give the honor and credit of this work to
citizen of our own county
