A friend of Greeley's, living in New Jersey,
lately wrote to the Philosopher asking him how
cider should be kept during the winter. Gree
ley replied as follows: | never raised cider on
my farm but would advise that it be washed,
the eyes cut out, then dried in the sun. After
the moisture has sufficiently evaporated, roll it
out in thin strips like pie crust, varnish, and
hang up in cool place in the cellar where the
flies cant get at it. In my opinion, cider can
be kept this way year.

Gadding Machine.

We have received a Communication
from the Sullivvn Machine Company. cor
recting wrong impression that might be
conveyed by the statements of our West
Rutland correspondent of the 9th inst.
We append the items and the correction !:
-Gadding machines said to be time,
money and labor saving, are in use in
several quarries here. The mechanism is
ingenious and durable.
The Diamond Drill Machines en-
ployed here are quick cutters, but difficult
to keep in repair. ..
Editor Rutland Herald The above
items from your paper of the 9th inst. need
correction. Our "Gadding Machines" are
Diamond Drill Machines" and are re-
ferred to in the first paragraph. A corres-
pondent states to US that the second item
refers to comparatively new machine
which has been in operation for Saaoing
marble in the quarry, and which has
failed on account of the difficulty men
toned, viz: "cost of repairs" We are
informed that this machine employed a
diamond drill to open the cut preparatory
to saving, and this fact has probably mis-
led your informant in his use of terms.
Will you be kind enough to publish a
correction that will cover the case, as the
item is calculated to do us injury, and
oblige Yours, &c,

DEATH OF Rev. ENSIGN SToyER--
1t j. our mournful duty to record the
death of Rev Eusign Stov"r, who died at
his residence, 10 Saratoga Springs, at IL
o'clock Monday night. For more Than
30 years Mr.. Stover has been an honored
member of the Troy Conference of the
Methodist Church. s,d during all those
years has sustbined an effective relation
serving with the greatest aoeeptibility
aud usefulness many of the important
churches in the Conference. For "A few
months his health has appeared to be fail
ing and at late session of bis Conference
he asked and received "supernumerary
relation" and moved to Saratoga to re.
cruit bis failing health, or spend the rem
nant of his days ss Divine Providence
should ordain. He had scarcely settled
in his new home before he was prostrated
with typhoid pneumonia, and after an
illness of only six days, closed bis eyes
forever to the scenes of earth.
His funeral took place from the Ohio
street Methodist Church at West Troy or

JOHN WEsLEY's WAY.--When John
Wesley saw a young man in danger Of
falling into the snare of evil associates, he
did not watch him sharply at distance
and speak of his shortcomings to Others,
predicting that he was " on the high road
to ruin" He invited him to his table,
and by gentle afable manner, sought to
give him good subjects for thought or hints
for conduct. Advice thus Hospitality en-
forced was very impressive. He would
draw out young man in conversation,
and learn what studies he was most pro-
ficient in, which were most essential to his
success, and then assist him to acquire a
mastery over them. Another most valu-
able way of aiding a young man whom
social danger threatened, was to make him
acquainted with well disposed, religious
young men, who would lead him into good
paths. He watched over their future
career with fathers interest and tender
ness, and in very simple manner &C
complished a vast amount of good, be-
sides preventing world of evil.

THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 49,
ime. That while Vermont during the

time. That while Vermont during the
last decade increased only $4,000 inhabit-
ants, Iowa made complete gain Of 516,-
8S9. "Row is that for high"
This is doubtless accounted for by our
friend, from the fact las he says "the
West is full of cut throats." So this
enormous growth of half million in ten
years, is supposed to be made up largely
of this unfortunate class, instead of that
personificstion of human goodness, "prod-
igal sons" What paradise it must be
in old Vermont by and by when all the
rogues and scallwags are removed to
Iowa. That we have our share of these
Escape goats" ia probably true, but that
we have a surplus over and above the
average is untrue.
As class the people of Iowa are steady,
Industrious, intelligent and honorable,
no State has better climate, is more
healthy, or more beautiful, with soil
that beats the world, an abundance of
fuel, and excellent water, entirely out of
debt, and good surplus in the treasury.
School privileges unsurpassed, and a
Commonwealth increasing in population,
wealth, commerce, imports and exports,
growing in education and all the ele-
ments of nobleness and greatness, offer
ing home and plenty to those possess
ing the needed elements of manhood, en-
terprise and energy, to launch their
barque on the broad ocean of Western
life-none others need apply. E. L. C.

BEFCHER ON THE ECHURCH.-Beeoher
preached an extraordinary sermon few
Sundays since. He denied that Christ
built the church. The whole church was
purely human invention. A man
might baptise or not baptise, partake OF
the Lords supper or not partake oil
it, it would make no difference to Him,
and, said Mr.. Beecher, my impression Is
that if our Lord and Savior were on earth
now there are very few CHURCHES into
which he could get. He would not be
considered as sufficiently orthodox.
