New Christian Sect,

A Christian sect of unknown origin
and antiquity has been discovered by
French missionaries in Loudiana, in
India. BY q voyage which extended
thirty miles to the south of that place
they fell in with a company of Shlkes,
who profess to believe the New .Testa-
ment as divine revelation, and who
consider Christ rs the immaculate in
carnation of the Deity. Their priest
(gouros) teaches his people that
Christ is about to reveal himself
from heaven, according to Matthew "a !:
25, and Revelation 1872 %; but in his
own person. This sect is wholly sepa-
rate from other Indian tribes, and is
considered by them as truly Chris
tian band. The number of its men,
bers was found to be on the increase.
They observe the Sabbath are accus-
toned to pray, and do not recognize
the obligations of caste. The sect OK.
tends over the territories of Maharajall
and Putteala, and probably belongs to
the Kuka race, despite differences il

A correspondent of the Germantown

From time to time, as there are any

with an old axe break them up fine and

the manure accumulates more earth is

then in a shape that it can be used at
any time or place. Ny practice is to
clean out spring and fall, and by hav-
ing a supply of dirt to use when want
ed manufacture and save with very
little labor or expense very valuable
fertilizer-the quantity depending on
the number of hens kept: but the
amount of manure which can be made
from hens in this way is much larger
than one would suppose who has never
practiced it, aud the value of it when
carefully saved and applied to the cul-
tivation of crops is probably moro in
proportion to the cost of keeping than
that Of any other kind of stock Kept on

The Pursuit OF Science.

Throughout the recent fearful ernp-

the dangerous task which Vulcan was
preparing for him. With his life in
his hand, he established himself in the
midst of circle of craters. Observing
their eccentricities as he might have

Domestic REGIMES.

SUCCESS WITH F1owERs-If the fol-
lowing rules are attended to, success in
growing flowers from seeds is almost
certain. But if neglected, failure in
many instances, will be certain to fol-
low: l. Sow the seed about the same
time that tomatoes. and cucumbers are
put out in the garden, and when corn
is generally planted in the fields. 2.
Make the bed rich and mellow and COW
Or the seeds with very fine earth, from
a quarter to half inch deep, according
to their size. 8. Shade the bed with a
board or paper, or in some other way,
until the plants come up. 4. Keep
the ground moist by sprinkling on a
little water just at evening, daily, until
the seeds sprout. Then remove the
shades, but continue occasionally to
give the plants a little application of
water, when the weather is dry, all the
season, until they blossom. Failure as
. general thing, is not because the seed
is bad !; but in most cases is caused
either by covering the seeds too deep,
or by letting the ground get dry down
below where they. are located, so as to
destroy the roots before the germ
reaches the surface.
