1es@ Saint Patrick's Church, which
has been undergoing extensive repairs
during the past year, lit being entirely
remoddled and considerably enlarged
is now fully completed, presenting
most beautiful appearance. Indeed, no
cast has been spared to render it at
tractive and fit for divine worship. On
entering the church, the beautiful Go
thic High Altar in the centre of the
Sanctuary attracts attention its syme-
trical proportions, richly gilt pannels
and chaste graceful appearance when
viewed from q distance, loses nothing
in effect fr ON nearer inspection. The
handsome Gothic window Immediately
over the Altar, the deep blue painted
ceiling of the Sanctuary, studded with
bright stars, in imitation of the Heavens
all are so well conceived and so beauti-
fully executed as to render the scene
very impressive Where are also two
low Affairs, one on each side of the
Sanctuary, neatly fitted up and taste
fully ornamented ; inspiring the heart
of the devout worshiper with senti-
ments of reverence, piety and love. The
interior of the church also, presents a
very pleasant appearance. If there
be truth in the oft-quoted remark, that
the "tailor makes the man" it certainly
must be conceded, after viewing st.
Patrick's church, that the painter
makes the house. Here, what ever is
beautiful in the art of decorative paint
ing has been fully displayed. The
granting and vanishing of the pews
and galleries in imitation of black wal
nut, the decorative painting of the
walls and ceilings, and the harmonious
blending of the different colors seem
to vie with each other in exposition of
the artistic skill of our respected towns
man, Captain Eli Kellam, decorative
painter. Right tastefully has he per-
formed his part, and he deserves the
thanks of the whole congregation. The
exterior of the church is painted in imi-
tation of Portland brown stone, which
sets it of to good advantage. The
church, we are told, notwithstanding
the large addition which has been re-
Gently made, is already too small to ac-
commodate the rapidly increasing con-
grega tion-seven persons being COM
PEELED to sit in pew in which six could
not sit comfortably.
When we remember the financial en-
barrassment of that church few years
ago, and contrast it with its present
seemingly prosp erous condition, we
cannot comprehend the recuperative
remedy which could, in so short time,
and as we are told, without any under
appeals by the Pastor to the hberality
of his people, achieve such happy re-
suit. Verify it seems as if the Reverend
Pastor has the faculty of changing all
things he touches into greenbacks or
pure gold.
Shad are said to be abundant in the
Delaware river at Belyidere.

The race of mankind would perish
did they cease to aid each other.
From the time that the mother binds
the child's head, till the moment that
some kind assistant wipes the death
damp from the brow of the dying, we
cannot exist without mutual help. All,
therefore, that need aid, have a right
to ask it of their fellow mortals; and no
one, who has it in his power to grant,
can refuse, without mourning guilt

Planting Corn in Drills.

| Our readers are aware that we
have occasionally urged the superb
ority of the practice of planting
corn either in drills or in small hills
thick in the row, where the highest
amount of product is the object.
The average increase, in number
of observations and experiments in
drill or thick hill planting, has been
about twenty-five per cent John
Johnston says that this increase
much more than overpays the slight
additional cost of labor in hoeing,
and nearly doubles the cornfodder.
We find our views Endorsed in re-
cent article in the Clyde Times, with
the signature of "W.," which we
recognize as that of Joseph Wat
son, well known as an intelligent
and successful farmer. He states
that he has used Emery's corn plant
er for twenty years, and finds it a
labor-saving implement, planting
eight acres day, and enabling him
to put in his crop promptly and in
season, even if there happens to be
at the time a scarcity of farm labor
ers. He remarks that the object of
planting rows both ways, is not
equal in practice to the importance
attached to it in theory, and then
adds some reasons of the crow
one-way SYSTEM" in addition to
those which we have already given,
and which necessarily result from
the use of q planter or drill. He
states in substance that while the
blowing of the sod is going on,
which should be done with strong
team, a lighter team may be en-
ployed to harrow the freshly turned
earth as fast as each land" is com
pleted, and the corn planter follow
Immediately after. This obviates
the necessity of waiting till the
whole field is completed for cross
working and planting in the old
fashioned way-when the soil, per
haps, has become dry, and many |
days lost by the delay. The rows
thus planted by means of the drill |
will be either straight, or contain no |
short crooks; and hence the cult |
vator may be run close to the rows,
and lessen the amount of hand-hoe-
ing. Another advantage is, the hoes
may follow Immediately after the
cultivator while the earth is fresh |
and mellow; and any stalks acct
dentally covered are Immediately |
relieved aud set up, without leaving
them partly Frustrated several days,
as in the old practice, until the cross
cultivation is commenced. He fur
ther adds that he prefers the drill
with its one horse, to any five men
planting by hand and hoe, even after
the whole field has been marked
both ways; and that none of his
neighbors raise greater crops of
corn or at so little expense per
bushel. Country Gentleman.
