Pursuant to adjournment this case came mn vet
terday before Judge Gilbert, in the Supreme Court
Special Term The previous statement OF the pron
erty owners opposing the confirmation of the report
OF the commissioners Of Estimates and Assess,
ments had been previously submitted to the Court.
and the Counsel to the Corporation now appeared
to argue in favor of the report presented
Mr.. OGorman said he was not merely the conn.
sci for the commissioners of Estimates and ASSESS
ments in this matter, having other duty than tn
sustain their report and present arguments IN adj
vocacy OF their decision, but represented also fbc\
city OF New York and Its citizens, and felt himself
charged with the responsibility OF representng ana
uph0ding their interests. Those whose pronert~
was taken invariably expected larger awards than
they ought to get, and those who were assessed for
dement, protested that they were the victims of con-
fscation and plumber, The question as to thaI
value OF real estate, and of the amount of benedtV
accruing to the parties Interested, together with
all the other questions Of fact had been presenteI|
TO the commissioners, aud the only questions
which needed to be discussed were questions of law
raised by the counsel opposing the confirmation OF
the Commissioners report. Mr.. OGorman then
presented, and finally claimed that the report Of
the Commissioners should be confirmed.
Mr.. Vnnderpoel took the ground that though only5
two Commissioners acted their action was ~
and binding He cited numerous authorities on tha
point. -
Mr.. Dea1eld insisted that the Legislature neu1
intended two assessments over the area an =
neither did Judge Card0zo in his order intend thia
He urged this point at length
Mr. Anderson claimed that the principle OF asso
ment was the extent OF benefit conferred on
property assessed. This, he urged, had not bees
principle upon which the present assessments
been made.
Mr.. Kitchel wanted to know on what princf
the westerly side OF Eighth avenue more rem,
from the Improvement was assessed higher tha
the casterly side OF the avenue. He contend
that the Commissioners had acted upon no princ6
whatever, as an analysis OF the assessment woT(
show.
After various other remark by various OF
counsel present 1t was decided that the differt
counsel should during the present week hand tfia
briefs to Mr.. OGorman, and he would transm
tnem TO Judge Gilbert for examination preparatofI
to making his decision.

shrInkage or Fruit In Drying.

In the letter from Charles Alden
owner Of the new fruit-drying ma
chinery which was rend before the
late horticultural meeting at iioches-
ter, n. Y, he states that n bushel OF
apples weighs fttypounds ; that the
cost Of cutting and preparing a bush
ell for drying is about fifty cents and
that a bushel will yield nine dried
pounds, two pounds Of which are
cores and skins, which when dried
find d ready market at six ceilts per
pound for making jelly without sugar
or boiling-a new product. One
bushel gives seven pounds Of good
dried apples, which sell regularly at
twenty cents per pound, making, af-
ter drying, sl.25 psr bushel OF ap"
pies, with cores and pairing.
1t will he understood that these
dried apples are greatly superior to
common dried apples, made by OK
posure TO weather, yield only three
pounds per bushel but two dried
ounces are found to be equal in sub
stance to a one quart can, and will
make rs much by adding II quart
Of cold water and ste%ing properly.
The evaporated tomatoes sell for
seventy-fve cents per pound, Peach
es yield seven pounds from abushel,
one pound of which is skins.

Economy in Feeding Stock.

Farmers need especially to study
economy in feeding stock this winter.
BY economy | do not mean feeding
less than is required for the proper
growth aud nourishment Of animals.
But what | do mean is, that waste
full manner thatmany farmers pursue
Of feeding SO much ut u time, that u
great deal is rejected by the cattle.
"a little and ofton" is the rule with
good husbaudmen, whether the food
is of the best quality or not. The
~haycutter should be brought into re-
QUESTION, both for horses and cattle.
With most farmers, stoaming cattle
food is practically impossible ; but
in many instances boiling water
might Do used to good advantage in
feeding poor hay, corn-iodder, &c.
Let these be run through the cutter,
and then thoroughly saturated with
boiling water, with Il little salt. In
this way corn-butts and stalks, and
very coarse meadow hay, with the
addition Of Il little now, can be used
without much waste.
Cattle should be provided with
plenty of water rs we'll as food, and
to this end, rs far as is possible, pure
water should be introduced into the
barn, yard. If, as has been demon
strated, stagnant water is fatal to
the animal constitution, farmers
should not overlook u subject so i'm
portant. At any rate, cattle should
have access to water twice or three
times a day. Where cattle are wat
cred but once u day, as is often the
case, IN very cold weather, they are
apt to gorge themselves. and hence
the chill they must experience. Cat
tie can endure more cid than the
human species, but if suitable pre-
cautions wero taken many trouble
some diseases might be avoided.
During very cold weather, if stuff
cient hot water could be added to
remove the chill, it would be good

now TO GET RID OF suRpERPLuous
Not long ago u gentleman Of
threescorc, who had hardly ever
been sick in his life, thought he was
too ilcshy and began to Bantamizc,
Tie succeeded famously, and boast
ed to his friends that he had got
rid Of ten pounds in Il few weeks.
a little later he was attacked with
a painful and dangerous malady,
from which he has been suffering
more than Il year. If II man can
sleep SonndIy, has u good appetite,
with no unpleasant reminders after
meals, the bodily habits being rcgu-
lar every day, he had better leave
himself alone, whether he is big as

disease have been reported by med
zeal men OF reputation as II direct
result Of practicing Buntam's plan
for getting lean. The very best
and safest way to get rid OF fat is to
work it off. This may be aided by
eating food which contains Il large
amount Of nitrogen and u small
amount OF carbon. Nitrogen food
is that which gives strength, power

Gus foods are those which make fat,
such as cheese, potatoes, rice, corn,

all oily and fat food. Raw fruit and
berries largely eaten arc great ends
to reducing weight. But, after all,
the great reliance should be on cX,

A nation comes to its last point Of

And the shrek of the eagle, as upward he
flew,
To battle his rich plumcs in a woIkino Of blue.
Meath n wide spreading oak that guarded
the stream,
pillowed my head, Of the future to dream ;
And as thoughts swept my brain, like wave,
on the deep,
A zephyr kissed gently my cyclids to sleep.
Thus locked in the arms of slumber,s soft

with hands lightly claspcG on my wild

Her hair was as dark rs the wind Ola storm.
And waved DER her neck all glowing ana
