GardeniHg. THE air has been ladcncd
with the odor from burning corn stalks and
other rubbish, this week Everybody has
been seized with gardening ft,' and
there has consequently been a great hunting
mp Of spades and rakes, and terrible ran.
sacking for seeds put away last season.
Some Adricc.-As this is the time fol
general cleaning up about back yards, eel
lars, ETC., We give little advice on the sub.
jcct. All kinds of filth should be removed,
aud all the outbuildings and fences white
washed. Having gathered the rubbish in a
pile, take it up and deposit it in the street,
this being very easy way of getting rid OF
1t. If there are any old feather or straw
beds to be emptied, take them into the
street-a by street is prcfcfablc-and pour
the contents out: the feathers will look SC
pretty as they are whir!ed hi,her and thithel
by the wind, and it will be such n source OF
amusement watching passers-by picking
them from their clothes. Be careful, how
ever, to always deposit this rubbish in front
OF somebody else's premises. This is al
excellent way to getthe good opinion of your
neigbors, and to avoid bad feelings and
chickering's.
The Parsonage. Methodists have
been busy for some days past preparing the
Parsonage for their new minister. Rev. Mr.
Matlack The building has been reprinted
and papered gas introduced the parlors
newly carpeted, and the furniture general,
repaired and vanished. On Wednesday,
the work was finished, and in the evening
reception was given to Mr.. Mntlack, at which
everything passed off in the most delightful
manner We congratulate the church or
the possession Of such an able ministers ant
hope that he may find this pleasant and
fraitiul field of labor.
A Bad Practice. People are prone to
sometimes forget what is due TO their fellow
creatures. There has been y vulgar and
very annoying practice INDUCED in by young
men--and, perhaps, by some not very young
for long time and as it is getting worse
attention is now called to it. On Sunday
evenings, when the congregation is dis.
missed, parallel lines are formed, sometimes
extending from the church door to dis
lance OF dozen yards. Ladies have to
pass between the lines, and undergo a scru.
Tiny by the eyes q nearly every person com.
posing them. This is very unpleasant;
and besides their cars are often greeted b,
coarse remarks. We hope the parties will
see the improperly OF this conduct, and that
all cause of complaint will be removed
Brought Home. The body of Mr.. Gus,
tavus Henderson was received ut the Elhton
depot, on Wednesday Of last week, aud
from then inferred Mt the Bethel graveyard.
Mr.. Henderson died at Bermuda, Wcsl
Indies, some two years ago, of yellow fever,
and his relatives have just been able, after
great deal of trouble and expense, to get his
body. His residence was near Cowautown,
IN tho 4th District.
The Elkton lee Compdny-Thc time is
sapid!y approaching fact is almost here
when the people will begin to want ice,
There is plenty in the CompaDy's building
to supply all demands Of our citizens, if pro.
perly distributed. 1t is time the Company
had meeting and some plan to serve the
summer luxury were devised. Let them
learn wisdom from past experience, and
avoid, by taking time by the forclock, the
|. larl and taugle Of last year.
