Cjanberry Culture at ISaiisJurn-A CORES
pOndent of the CODlNlercial writing from Sal
lsbury, says In August 1869 a company was
formed by five gentlemen oil oar town for the
cultivation of cranberries. A bog was purehas
ed which could be irrigated by wafer from the
river, bitches were cut crossing each other,
and dividing the surface into patches Of about
$50 square feet The turt was then broken
ard turned. this was covered by six inches OF
sand, and then the vines were planted. About
two acres were planted last season. SIX acres
more have been prepared this season making
now about acres About eighty bushels of
berries were gathered this sea on from the wild
vines IN the g. One of thc lnarSles whose
interest cost him 800 90, recently sold it for
$lbOuOO. Some persons who are familiar
with the culture OF cranberres in New Jersey
say, that they never saw finer patch than
this one.
An earnest effort is now being made to Sc
cure the erection of Town Hall in Salisbury.

ship Of these claims, on notice to the British
envoy, and that such arrangements he made
that the ownership shall rest with the nation
81 government.
During the past season the Canadian gov
ernment has pursued an unfriendly course to-
ward our fishermen. Vessels have been seiz-
ed without notice of warning, and the Prcsi-
dent charges that this was done for political
effect upon this government As the arrests
and seizures may be renewed next season. the
President asks Congress to allow him to sus
pend the operation of the laws authorizing the
transit in bond across our territory of goods
destined for Canada. The Canadian govern
ment has also claimed power to exclude our
vessels from the navigation of the ST. Law
renee, which, if it shall be acquiesced in, will
give to foreign hsnds a monopoly of the com
merce Of the lakes with the Atlantic. The
President argues this question at length, and
cites presidents, and laws, and treaties against
the Canadian claims.
The present monopoly of our foreign carry
ing trade by foreign vessels is referred to- and
the attention of Congress called to the subject
| The estimates Of the government expenses
for the next fiscal year are $lS,244, 346 OF
less than for the current one, and So, 81, ,I27 Sc

The average value of gold as compared with
currency in 1869 was 1874, and in 1870 it is lis,
showing gradual return to the specie basis
upon which point the President dwelIs at some
length As regards revenue, the President
says that there is no reason, if we persist in
our present course, why in few short years
the direct taxes may not bs abolished, except
the revenue stamps and the taxes on liquors
and tobacco, lfrevcnue reform means this
the President is in favor of it but if it mean,
the maintenance of the direct taxes and the
reduction of the tariff on foreign goods he j,
opposed to it.
The civil service reform is inaorsed and re-
commended by the President, as also is The
further prosecution Of reform in the Indiar
service, and variety of other matters
Altogether, this message is pronounced il
Its views, and satisfactory to all who have
heart the welfare of truly American interests

TnE REMODELING OF THE Dover NJ. Z.
CHURCH is nearly completed, and it IS to be re-
dedicated on the Sth of January. Concerning
the improvements, the UcLd,0uredn says:
The basement, or first floor contains large
lecture or Sunday school room also school
room OF ample dimensions for the smaller
scholars, and three comfortable class rooms.
The main audience room is now about seven.
ty-threc feet in length and forty in width, and
is capable Of seating about six hundred per-
sons The changes in this room render il al
most unrecognizable to former worshiperS
therein At the west end instead of the old
time gallery, will be seen neat platform With
seats for the choir and space fer the organ
and at the cast end, instead of the old white
pulpit nnd its plain surroundings, Will be dis
covered an elegant slate desk, on low plat
form faced with black walnut, recess with
side lights, and a low chaucel rail, or monrners
bench, Of black walnut, tasteful and elegant
in design and finish. The pewS, or benches,
are arranged in two blocks with centre and
side sises. They are capped with BIZ ck wal
nut rails and scrolls. The ends Of the benches
will be grained in imitation Of OAK, with a
moulding OF black walnut around the panel
The walls and ceiling which before were papered
are now snowy white. The chandelier which wa'
once considered an elegant fixture is now super
scded by new cOntrivance that ref'ct> the ligh
Of &c gas Jets from a hole in the ceiling with
brilliancy rlvaling the sun and enabling the fines
print to be read in any part of the room. Ou

ASSAULT ON NEGRO PAsSENGER.--T
Commercial says brutal assault was made by
Alouzo T. Stoops, on Thursday evening last on
the train, when near Middletown, upon ne
gro man named Frank johnson. He ol dered
johnson and his colored friends to stop singing
AID then threw at hiM glass tumber, cutting
his head open, and causing the blood TO flow
freely The tumbler also struck and injured
other passengers. Stoops was then joined by
other fellows, by the name of Cochran, and
they proceeded TO further beat and injure
johnson, cursing him at the time and calling
him indecent names. He finally got away
from them, and was protected by some of the
other passengers. The matter was brought to
the attention of the Court, On Saturday by
Attorney General Lore, and an atfid wit was
filed by johnson, setting forth the fact that he
had been thus assaulted while on his way
home flOm this Court, where he had been
summoned as witness The Court, thereup-
or, on motion Of the Attorney General, issued
bench warrant for the arrest of Stops, but
the Sheriff officers sent to execute l., now re
port that he has left the State.

THE I.oRD's PHAYER.-A few years ago
nothing would have seemed more Improbable
than the deliberate alteration, by an authora-
tive body of Christian clergymen and orthodox
Biblical scholars, Of the phraseolGgy and mean
ing Of the Lords Prayer, yet such has been
the case The New Testament reTlsioni>ts,
now in session in London, have voted that the
literal translation Of the phrase " deliver us
from evil" should be deliver US from the
evil one;' and they have decided to expungc
the doxology at the end of the prayer, as alb
sent from all the earlier manuscripts. Tins
shorn and altered the great prayer 81 the
ages will sound unfamiliar indeed.

APPLICANTS FOR OFFTCE.-The Sussex
Journal says that the election of Governor
from that county has brought out swarms of
office seekers who besiege Georgetown en- pub
lie days. There are legions Of applicants for
every Office within the gift Of Gov. Ponder
This Office seeking is one of the ills of public
functioneriss ard one Of the evils of parties
and people. Hundreds of men seem to have
no higher ambition than to get public office,
where but little personal exertiOr or business
skill is required to insure their daily bread.

Cleansing the Blood" upon which charla.
tans have harped SO much, is not mere catch

that some diseases exist like parasitic growths
upon the glObules of the blood, and it is further

eexpe them. These substances have been COM
