Religious Matters.

From the religious press of various demon
nations we learn that the past two months
have been regarded as period of extraord-
mary religious interest, in the history Of
of the churches. In many localities the
revival Influence has been all prevailing.
The New York Independent gays 1--WE have
taken pains to add up the accounts of con-
verts recorded in the Methodist paperssfor
siaqle aceek past, not because we believe
thd power of religion is measured by the
number of its professors, but because 1t 10
an index of extent of the the work of grace
We find during the past week 8,201 cases
Of hopeful conversions reported by the Meth
odst preachers"
The number reported by other denom'na
tons for the same week, is also large
numbering collectively some thousands.
1t seems the work Of fraternizatIon be
tween Episcopalians and churches OF other
denominations, does not appear to have been
arrested by the arraignment and trial OF
Rev. MIR Tying; similar cases are sprlnglng
up in different quarters Rev f. d. hos
kins an Episcopalian clergyma.' OF Iowanda
Pa, invited the holding of a uu'on Bible
Society in his church, which was a TENDED
by clergymen of different sects, who >Hccu-
pied the chancel and made addresses.
In respect to the exchange Of pulpits be :
tween Rev Mr.. Hubbard an Episcopal
clergyman and Baptist minister made con
trary to the advice Of the Bishop, the Prot
estant Cburcbman, an EpiscOnpalian journal
says:
eve thank our brother for the stand he
has taken and trust that his example may
be followed throughout our church 1t can
not fail to meet the prevail of all who pre-
fer unity of faith, to mere autward union
based on ritual"

Church Ohoirs.

Few persons have any adequate idea of the
amount expended for church choirs in many
of our large cities. The following are the
statistics of few charches in Chicago, taken
from one of the papers Of that city:
The Second Presbyterian Church, which has
the finest quartet choir in The city, approprl-
ates So $50; of which 81 400 is paid to the con-
traitO, Mrs. Matteson, a singer of re markaee
excellence. The organist receives $500, the
soprano 5000, and the tenor and bass each
$500. TRINITY Church pays 81 100, the FIRST
Presby terrain 81, 800; s.. PAut's Universailst,
s., 800 and so on. The FIRST Baptist Church
has large choir OF some fifty singers, with
very impressive. The leader receives 81, 900,
and the organist $500, which covers the whole
expense.

CITY Election

The city election is near at hand, and there
is one coEaid ration which must commend it,
self the good Judgment of every property
holder. Men of the best business capabilities
and sound discretion among us,are needed lor
officers the coming year. The condition of
our city affairs, requires close attention, aud
the wisdom of experienced business men, to
carry US through impending embarrassments.
This is not a time when i'll advised measures
can be afforded We trust therefore that the
psople win make primary consid Grafton, to
call out the most subtantial talent among us,

OF Ihe city Of Madison last week, passed a
resolution 10 ask the city council to require

on such streets of the city, where sucl
planting has not been done. The idea il
au excellent one; no Improvement costing
so little, adds so much to the attractiveness
of town, and increases the value of prop

City Superintendent.

The Legislature at the late session, legal.
lied the action of the Board of Education of
this city, in giving notice of distinct city
superintendency of schools from the county,
after the Limitation prescribed by statue had
expired. Probably no serious question of ju-
risdictIou between city and county Superin-
tendents, would have arisen, had there been
no Legislative action.

Town MEETINGS.

1t is hoped our Republican friends in the
country towns, will not allow local or minor
questions to interfere with the casting OF a
full and united vote at the coming town elec-
lions. A divided aud distracted vote at the
spriug election, carries an unfavorable iniu-
ence into the fall election. Care should be
taken that the best menare put in nomination
and when so nominated, no mere persona
cansidsra lions should prevent their receiving
the undivided Republican vote.

THE VALUE OF ADvERTIsING.-The sale of
a valuable article is always dependent on the
extent TO which it is nown, and tn MOI
brilliant examples of succe SIS in business are
those afforded by men who ave taken ad
vantage of this fact. We were forcibly struck
wilh this truth q day or twosince on hear
| ing he present immense and increasing
sale of a standard artic lie, which for nearly
twenty years has be n known and esteemed
only by lcw. A gentleman acquainted
with its merits, convinced that to secure
wi ely eXte ded patronage, AMI at the sa me
time to confer benefits on suffering humanity,
| it only needed to be known, secured an in,
terest in the article some eighteen months
ago, and ad ertised it in mum Der of papers
and periodicals The result was beyond IN
most sanguine expectations. Whoever read,
bought, and hat was better, whoever bought
acknowledged the excellence of the article
and warmly recommended it to their friends.
A good him once fairly set afoat, thus in
creases Its own reputation. From trade of
a few hundred dollars month in 1868, the
business has increased, till now the sales
reach over $780, a year, and are steadily
increasing and the amount paid for advertis.
ing some 200O of the best newspapers, mag.
azines and periodicals throughout the coun.
try, reaches nearly half that sum. The arFi

Kenosha Horticultural Society.

This Society met on Monday afternoon last
large number of members were in attend
ance. The subject of ''Hot Beds" was con
tinued from the last meeting.
Mr.. Zetterstrom, an educated gardener
gave the method of constructing hot beds
They should be located in sheltered position
built four feet high, and made one foot wider
than the frame. After the soil or composition
of the hot bed is put in, it should be left for
| three days, then turned over and left for two
days longer. 1t is then ready for the seed
As soon as the plants come up, care must be
| taken to give them air during the day, and
closing the windows nights. When the plants
are large enough to take up, they should be
put in twO-inch pots, after that in cold frames.
As soon as the garden soil becomes warm
enough, they may be removed and planted il
their proper place.
Mr.. Foster said from the little experience
he had, he was convinced that creating heat
underneath hot beds, was not useful, but su-
perfluous. 1t causes a mushroom growth
which is unnatural, and not conducive to the
healthy production of the plant Plants
'''''N P4%hbSu w OtiiCI eOli 1IOLl uOb bCuo, dIG
liable to wilt. The heat which nature has
provided for the growth of plants, is the best:
that is, sun heat hence he thought that
hot beds should be constructed to rely wholly
on deriving heat from the sun. Surface heat
Is all that is essential to the proper growth
of plants, and had been found in his expert
ence, sufficient for all practical purposes for
useful plants. He said according to the.ge
eral estimate, plants are put back two weeks
when taken from the ordinary hot bed; but
when taken from beds of only surface heat,
this time Is not lost. He had the earliest to-
matOes in the neIghborhood, produced from
only surface heat.
Mr.. Hinsdale, Pres't, remarked that an OPP
portunity would be afforded this spring of
testing the relative merits of surface beds,
with those having heat generated below the
surface. Ripe tomatoes had been promised
by members by the first of June, and Mr. Eos
ter could determine whether he could produce
them by his method at that date
Mr.. Galt said there was mouse in attempt
ing to disprove the utility of hot beds The
providing of hot beds with artificial heat, has
been sanctioned by the experience of profess
sional gardeners, both in this country and in
Europe. Let any one try hot bed and an.
Other cold bed, and see who comes out
ahead.
Mr.. Foster said he regarded what gardeners
called the hardening process ofplants unsound
The way provided by nature is the best way. |
The true law of growth of all plants in the
vegetable kingdom, was derived from the
light and heat of the sun.
The President said that his method oftrans-
planting from hot beds, was to put the plants
first into two-inch pots, and afterwards trans
fer them to their final place. By that meth
cd. the growth of the plants will not be re-
tarded.
