very heart of our city was disturbed on
wednesday evening last, when an an-
nouncement was made that another Of
these serious incidents was about to occur.
The place was in the Presbyterian Church.
Yes, a row in the church, Ii was at the
time Of the regular prayer meeting; the
faithful ones and some other persons Of
both sexes being present, were engaged
in their humble devotion before God,
when at 3 o'clock precisely the worshipers
were disturbed by some eight or ten per-
sons entering the church headed by the
leaders in this great sensation, who walked

IMPROVEMENT IN GRAIN.-Experiments
have demonstrated, and analogy has shown,
that the finest and best samples of seed, con-
tinued fo- years, will i'm prove the quality and
quantity of the product. A better wheat is
ed. On this principle, Tin farm stock) we
have the Shorthorns, the blooded horses. and
the different breeds of sheep, swine poultry,
etc. Experiments have not been made on the
tluu.~n apOe;e~, L.. .hA s.naa no doubt
holds good here.
We plant and SOW g as it comes" We
in the aggregate, and SOW it. Is not this the
case almost universally? Corn is an excep-
ton to some extent but why do we except
corn? Because it is handy to select But
why select at all? Because it is understood
to be good. Analogically, then, it is good to
do the same with wheat, oats, barley, etc
But this is less easily done we therefore
neglect it. How long will it take farmer
to 90 through his wheat, and secure the fin
est and ripest heads sufficient to SOW an acre.
or half an acre, OF a quarter-Or even a pint
of seed? This pint sowed will be sufficient
TO form a test crop. The best heads taken
from this again, sowed, will yield another
test crop, from which should be taken as before
and SO on for number of years, say half a
dozen, more still better. But three or four
years will work decided difference But
the thing should be continued from selected
wheat every time. In this way grain can be
improved and crops enlarged. There will be
larger grains. earlier maturity, and better
growth.-Rurai World.

PRESERVING MEArs-Meat of any kind
may be preserved in any temperature after it
has been soaked for ten minutes in a solution
made of the following ingredients, well mixed:
One pint of common salt dissolved in four
gallons of clear cold water and half gallon
of the bisulphite of calcium solution. This
recipe has just been patented in England
and experiments there show that meats SO
prepared will keep for twelve days in a tenn
perature of from so to ITO degrees, and pre-
serve their odor and flavor unim paired. By
repeating the process meats may be indefinite
ly preserved, and if it is desired to keep
them for an unusually long time, a little solu-
ton of gelatine or white of an egg may be
added to the wash.
A Maine housewife says she preserves
meat successfully by placing it in dish and
covering it with buttermilk.
Meat which has been slightly tainted may
be restored to perfect sweetness. and the odor
arising from it while boiling entirely prevent
ed by throwing into the Pot few pieces of
charcoal contained in a small bag. The odor
of vegetables slightly affected may be pre-
vented in the same way. Red pepper. and
even black pepper, produces a similar but
less perfect result. Another excellent meth
Cd of restoring tainted meat is to soak it for
two or three hours in a solution of saleratus
of medium strength.

CROP PRosPECTs.-Last week along the sea-
board the sun shone during day and a
part of another; the rest OF the time the wea-
Their was misty. but there were no heavy show
ers A good deal Of sod was turned for corn
for fear that the ground would continue too
wet. The first week in June opens bright
and breezy, plJws are running on ridges, and
as the soil dries are working down toward
wetter ground. An uncommon amount OF
special fertilizers will be used to give corn
and other crops a good start. Owing to the
aduIteration of mlny varieties the choice is
much in favor Of bone. Oats and wheat are
promising, and grass must be above the aver
age pple trees are passing out OF bloom
Strawberries are backward, but promise fine
yield.
In the great corn region of the west there
has been more sunshine, and large breadth
of corn on the driest ground has been planted
As good weather continued through last week,
the great bulk Of the crop must now be in the
ground OF course there Will be fewer acre
tnan there would have been had the season
been more favorable: but as more work can
be given TO fewer acres, the yield in the az
gregate NAV be expected to be large
from a greater area After all the gloomy
prospects it is not unlikely that the corn will
be as forward by the 18th of June as lift had
been planted earlier. But where corn is
planted extensively, early planting and work
ing are of great Importance, for the reason
that it may ''be laid before wheat and grass
are 10 be cut With the most favorable wealth
er vast and unusual amount of work will
be crowded into the month of June. 1t can
be done by means of improved farm Impie-
ments hut without them it would be utterly
impossible. 1t will be seen that they really
add TO the solid wealth of the country, and
in effect, add a month to the growing season.
The fruit prospects of the west are not encour
aging Strawberries are expected to be in
small supply and dear.
From the southern states we have favora-
bic accounts. Wheat looks well, fruit is like
Iy to be abundant, cotton has good start,
the negroes are doing better than last year,
and people generally confess that reconstruc-
ton is TO be accomplished more through work
than D .litics. On the whole, the promise OF
abundant harvests never was brighter. 1t is
true that adverse conditions may arise, but
sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. Duty
and hope belong to the present. At the
lowest estimate. the present golden sunshine
is worth a million dollars an hour-N. Y.

FORCING FERTILIzERs.-M farmers ex-
press themselves perfectly satisfied with barn
yard manure, thinking that perfectly sufficient
to meet the requirements OF any crop; and,
in fact, they do not know that one crop diff
iers from another in the quality of its tertll-
izing food. Barnyard manure is excellent :;
and, being home made, is the cheapest infalli-
BILE resource of the farmer. But there
crops which require a stronger element added
to it. In the majority of farm crops, the
most powerful fertiliziog ingredients are
phosphate Of lime and potash If farmers
termixture of those two elements to their
manure, any kind of crop can be made to pay
back the cost in a ten fold ratio, thus enab-
ling their home made manure to go over
larger surface, great and important result
will be accomplished iE the improvement of
the agriculture of our country.

HEATING NAILs.-Every one who has used
them knows that cut nails are brittle and cas-
lly broken (some brands more than others)
but when heated to a red heat ADD then cool
ed slowly, become soft, and will generally
cinch as we'll as wrought nails. Jacob Ab-
bolt thus explains the matter in a story which
he tells in Our SchoOlday Visitor =" Com
mon nails, being cut out from a plate ofiron
by mems Of shears working with prodigious
free, have the substance of the iron com
pressed that they are somewhat brittle, and
the points are very apt to break off if we at
tempt to clinch them. But these common
nails can be softened by heating them red hot
in any common fire and letting them cool slow
w. The iron of the nails, which is compress
ed and made hard by the action of the ma
chine in which it is manufactured, is sweled
out again by the heat of the fire and re
stored to its natural condition.

TRANsPLANTINo BY NIouT.-A gentleman
anxious to ascertain the effect Of transplanting
at night, instead of in the day, made an OK
pertinent, with the following result lie
trdnsplanted ten cherry trees while in bloom,
commencing at four O'Clock in the afternoon
and transpltnting one each hour, until one
in the morning. Those transplanted during
daylight shed their blossome producing little
no fruit; while those planted during the
darker portions maintained their condition
fully. He did the same with ten dwarf pear
trees, after the fruit WAS one-third grown.
Those transpianted during the day shed their
fruit; those transplanted during the night
perfected their crop. and showed no injury
from having been removed. With each of
these trees he removed some earth with the
roots. The incident is fully vouched for :;
and if few more similar experiments pro-
duce the same result it will be a strong argu-
ent to horticulturists, gardeners, and fruit
growers to do such work entirely at nj ght.

That wins warns, that kindIes softens cheers,
