English Service at the First Lutheran
Gwch.-We attended divine service at the
First Lutheran Church on Sabbath last, and it
was our good fortune to listen to very excel
lent sermon preached by the pastor. The
Rev. DR.. Brandt is very eloquent preacher
who combines with his eloquence sound reason
ing, and degree Of learning not easy sur
passed-and it would pay we'll to go and listen
to his discourses. He appears to be one OF
those men to whom you cannot listen without
being instructed and whose very soul is IN his
sermon. His preaching carries conviction With
it. May he prosper in our midst Il.
STONE MASON WANTED.-We regret to
note the suspension of work upon pavemcnts
within our town which have been ordered to

to be the impossibility Of procuring stone

mason would do well If he located here. He
might obtain remuneratve employment for
several months from the Town Council alone. -

TO KEEP FEET DRY. We notice in our ex-
changes numerous receipts for making shoe
leather water proof, most of the compounds
involving considerable trouble in preparation
and more or less expense, and none of them
half so good as the simple article of castor oil,
which can be bought at the drug stores for
twenty-fv to fifty cents a pint, according to
your locality. Apply it to the boot when dry,
and soak it by the fire till the leather is satur
ated. Treat the socs in the same way, being
careful to dry them we'll so that they will not
grease the carpets. Castor oil will keep the
leather soft, plabc and black, though not
glossy, and quite impervous to water.

In an article on the culture OF Tobacco in
Virginia, the Petersburg Express says 1t
is difficult to realize the fact that this plant
which has been leading staple OF Virginia
since the days OF John Smith, has reached Its
eliminating point, and that its culture here Is
on the decline. Before the war the average
crop was about $4,000 or 10000 hogsheads;
last year it was 5000, and thi2 year it may
reach $4,000, At the same time the cuItlva-
ton has been rapidly extending in the West,
where, by reasons Of the superior fertility OF
the soil, it is grown at about half the cost 1t can
be produced here. Under these circumstances
it is impossible that a successful competition
can long be maintained by our planters, except
in the case OF particular descriptions. "

as very effectual agent for the destruc-
ton of the peach worm. He says: In a
neighborhood where the peach worm usually
destroys one half the peach trees, we have seen
them preserved in the healthiest condition by
the annual application of handful of coarse
salt about the collar of the tree about the sur
face OF the ground.
