From the LIST of July, 1868, to the goth
of Jnne, 1869, the business of the House
was much more prosperous than it was
either of the previous years. The propo-
sitiOn to the preachers and laymen of the
Church to purchase sixty dollars worth Of
our publications, as means of relief to
the Publishing House, while they would
receive value for the money thus expended,
met with a very prompt and timely re-
Spouse, and greatly increased the circuls-
ton of our books, and enabled US, on the
LIST of July, 1869, to make the following

One Hundred and Thirty Eight Tons of Gold

On Friday the examination of the coin,
currency and bullion in the vaults of the
snb-treasury began, preparatory to the
change Ofassistant Treasurer. On the advent
of every assistant treasurer Il count is made
of the effects, no matter how recent an
an examination has been made before.
Last November, when Judge Folger sue
ceeded General Butterfeld, there were in
the neighborhood of eighty millions of dol
lars in the vaults, which were thoroughly
examined, pronounced correct, sealed up
in the chests, and turned over TO Judge
Folger. Since then the seals upon about
S50,000,0 600 of the coin have remained UNI
broken, yet it was deemed advisable for the
interest of all concerned, that even this
should be recounted as well as the loose
coin, and this is the work now in progress
at the gold room of the sub-treasury. The
rattle of the carts on Nassau street is al
most drowned by the jingle of the coin as
it is poured upon the tables of the gold
room.
This is a weighty matter, as will be OBJ
served by a little calculation. The coin in
the vaults is not far from SO, 600 600 in
gold. The weight of this IS 1901 80 troy
standard ounces, equal to 276, 42S, SO avoir
dupois pounds or nearly 1881 tons of 1000
pounds. AS there are 1922, 800 in Il cubic
foot of gold, the amount of coin in the
vaults, if packed together, would occupy
more than 25G cubic feet of space.
On Friday the examination OF the bull
lion in the sub-treasury vaults was COM
pleted, and the amount reported was 81,
O753O9,l 10 i'm gold bars, and Sl259L0l i'm
silver bars making a total of 1881 500, %
On Saturday the currency, amounting TO
IS 900 600, was examined, the notes being
counted eiugly by clerks attached TO the
sub-treasury, assisted by a detail of thirty
clerks from several Of the banks of the city.

70 HARDEN BUTTER IN SUMNTER.-A
simple mode of making butter hard in
warm weather, where ice is not handy, is
to inVcrt a common flower pot over the
butter, with some water i'm the dish in
which the butter is laid. The Oritice at
the bottom may he corked or not. 1t will
still be cooler if the crock be wrapped with
a wet cloth. The rapid abstraction of heat
by external evaporation causes the butter

THE WAR AND THE GRAIN Market
According to some of the market reporters,
II is expected by dealers of produce that
the first great battle between Germany and
France will have an important effect upon
the prices of breadstufis. They think
that if the French win q victory it will
be the signal for the interference Of Great
Britain and Russia, and for a general Eu-
ropean war, while, if the Prussians obtain
a decided success, Napoleon must make
