MCRAVIAN CHORAL PERFORMANCE.

On Monday evening last (Whit-Monday,0 a
Sacred Choral Performance took place at the
Roebuck Morayian Chapel. The attendance
was moderately good. Admission was by tick
cts to the Gallery at Is each, and to the body
of the Chapel at Is.
The object was to obtain Funds for the pur-
chasing an Organ for their Chapel at Mount
Tabor.
The proceedings commenced sometime af-
ter Z o'clock. The platform for the chOris-
tiers was the largest ever put up at that
Chapel it had to accommodate sixty or more
choristers, male and female, and did not af-
ford them comfortable room. All the Au-
thems announced in the Programme we're exc
cutcd. A Professor Of Music was present,
and remained till about ! past s. The audi
ence seemed 10 be highly gratifed from the
very commencement, and often expressed
their sense Of pleasure by vehement applause.
After the first six or eight pieces were gone
through, The choir seemed to acquire greater
confidence and it appears to the writer than
the singing would have been still better, if
there had not been so much orowdiug on the
platform to the Inconvenience of the Singers
besides their having come a great distance
from the county that evening.
The Rev. Mr.. MOORE, of Mount Tabor,
had at the outset deprecated ANY severe criti-
cism, and a little before 9, while the Choir
paused to breathe and rest, he took occasion
TO give an interesting and very amusing ac-
count of his own musical history with what
mighty efforts, through the kind help of a
little boy, he had learnt to sing the first hymn
he had ever attempted and he gave a Iudi-
crous caricature of that bis first successful effort
at singing. he proceeded from one instrument to
another with the most praiseworthy efforts,
succeeding by dlnt o. perseverance, and pur-
chasing many books for his musical education.
de had received great help and kind encou.
ragement from the Rev. j. 4. EDGHILL, the
present Superintendent Of the Mission here;
who, he humourou.ly observed, " had never
sung 6 times in bis life," and be supposed
f" never would until he had gone up and Join
had trained a choir in Antigua, which had
given a great stimulus to religious music in
that Colony. The Choir from Mount Tabor.
here this evening, had not been long enough
under training for much to be expected of
it for, two years ago, most of the members
knew not a note in music. The Performance
of the remaining Anthems then followed.
The one, "Mtfhjnks [ hear the full Celestial
Choir" was sung earnestly, the three male
singers in particular, who went up into the
Back Gallery for the purpose, sang their re-
sponsive part admirably.
At the close Mr.. EDGHrLL referred to
friends present, and especially to the person,
(Mr. INCE) who had used great e~xertion in
putting up the platform. He referred point
eddy to the important benefits to the commu-
nifty at large likely to result from the gene

t. Michael Legras, the former in,
cumbent, has been commissioned, by
Kellogg, as State Assessor and Collec
tor for our Parish. He reached home
on Mond"y morning on the Hodge, and
Will, we learn, at once commence his
anything but pleasant duties. Mr.. Lee
gras has been Collector for more than
four years, and we in justice to HIM
unhesiiatlnsly admit and place on re.
cord that he has made a good, faithful,
jnst, and above ali lenient Collector.
and has given almost general satisfac
ton TO our people. And we, for one,
hail his appointment, under the pres
ent peculiar aspects of affairs, as a
good appointment and good siga.-
We can't, as yet, admit it as legal
one, but must do Justice where itright
fully belongs. Kellogg, with his usnr-
ped authority and bayonet status has
shown some forecaste and some good
sense in commissioning Mr., Legras. 1t
is a hard blow to the newly created
ring of the Rapides Radical crew, and
will cause one good word to be spoken
for kellogg. Next?

divided and not leave on the same day

the change, aud the public be vastl,

matter.

l We call attention to the procla-
nation of Governor McEnery in anothe,
column with regard to the illegal col
lection of taxes by the Kellogg usurpa-
ton. 1t will be remembered that the
State Legislature suspended the col
lection of taxes by the legal govern,
ment, and the Governor promised full
protection to those who should hold
out against kelIogs's officials. The
usurpation cannot last until the next
Congress without money, and it rests
with the people TO say whether they
VIII pay money out OF their Own
pockets to aid in rivetting the chains

This very popular ballad has, like
Beautiful Snow" and Crock Me to
Sleep, Mother" several rival authors.
Will Carleton, the Michigan poet, pub
lished it as his own in the Toledo Blade
in 1871, and has lately included it i'll his
collection of Farm Ballads" This has
called forth protest from Miss Nan
nette Snow Emerson, of Massachusetts,
who claims that she is its author. Miss
Emersons story is, that a few months
before Will Carleton published it as his
own she recited it, as she was in the
habit of doing, to a visitor, Prof. Will
liam S. Roberts, of Philadelphia, who is
Will Carleton's brother-in-law. At his
request she gave him written copy of
the lines, which soon reappeared i'll
print, as already stated To this state
ment Mr.. Carleton responds IN the fol
lowing strong language, through the
columns of the Detroit tribune, with
which journal, we believe, he is editori-
ally connected: q have thus far treat
ed with silent contempt the alleged
claims of Mrs. or Miss Emerson to the
authorship of this poem Betsy and

inform the public that the statements
she is said to have made concerning the
matter are base, deliberate lies; that
the ballad Betsy and I Are Out as
published in the Toledo Bladc, in 1871,
was wholly my own conception and com
position, and that any claims she has
made to the authorship of the poem, or
any part of it, places her in the position
of IL rank impostor and a literary pirate

dictory and irresponsible statements
which have been made concerning this

!SCANTI LOCKS.

Cleanliness is better preservative for
the hair than any quack hair dyes. Some
people have a strong prejudice against
washing it, and imagine that it is pro-
ductive of serious evils, such as head
ache, earache, toothache, as we'll as
complaints of the eyes. On the con-
trary, it is well supported by fact and
experience that nothing contributes
more to prevent those consequences
than freely washing the head with tcpid
water-that is, iuke-warm. When the
hair is very long, or much use has been
made of oil and pomatum, the l.air can
not be rendered comfortable without
frequently washing it. Water is also
by far the best for giving beautiful
gloss to the hair, if care be taken to
have ii well-dried and combed and
brushed. When the hair has been
properly washed and thoroughly dried,
to give the requisite gloss, you may
then with advantage use little salad oil

tricts of Maine. SO the members of the

4 IIGIL1NT OFFICER.

The Calais (AIe.) Idrcrtiscr has a
good story of vigilant customs officer
of St. Stephen, who learned that a GER
tain man had brought over the river
some dry goods which he had placed in
Il bed in his front chamber The officer
at once called on the offender, who de-
MED the charge of smuggling, but was
informed that denial was of no use, for
positive evidence had been received that
the goods in question were deposited as
aforesaid. The man found he was caught,
and owned up that he was over to Calais
the day before, and was married and
brought his wife over, and that they
occupied the front chamber The official
was a mild-spoken and polite man, and
drew at once upon his whole fund of
good manners, and all would have gone
off smoothly as Il mere congratulatory
visit, but unfortunately the boys of the
neighborhoood got wind of the Joke
while it was in progress. The saucy
wrctches gathered in front of the house.
and when the deputy collector made his
appearance he was greeted with shout
which now bids fair to echo across the

Sheep Eating Their Wool.

Instances of sheep eating their wool
are quite common, especially during the
latter part of winter and the early part
of spring. Some have thought tn e
cause resulted from the presence of
small parasites-as minute as the red
spider of some towering plants-which
produces an irritation, and, to allay
this, the sheep requires the habit of bit
ing its own skin, and thereby eating its
own wool. 1t is generally believed,
however, that the habit is analogous
to that of hens eating their own feath-
ers, and of the abnormal appetite of
cows for old bones, wooden rags, ETC.,
and is caused by an exhaustion of the
phosphate in the soil. Old pastures and
fields that have been long cropped are
deficient in these elements, and there is
Il want of them by the animals. AS
preventive, mix a smallquantity of bone
meal with corn meal, and give them an
occasional feed. Sulphur has also been
found to be preventive of the habit,
and many farmers keep their stock con-
stantly supplied with it. 1t no doubt
assists i'll giving healthy tone to the
system.

FARM AND NONE.



Notwithstanding it is the general
opinion that mare may be bred to a
horse when she attains her third year, it
is by no means safe to follow it as a rule
Breeders forget to take into account
the differences of soil, climate, parent
age, etc, and the great influence they
must necessarily exercise in the develop
ment of the animal frame. The fact is
patent to the most casual observer that
in the Blue Grass region of Kentucky
and Tennessee, the horse, as a general
thing, is as fully developed at three years
old as in Maine and Vermont at four.
Assuming this to be correct, it follows
that a three year-old filly in the New
England States cannot have arrived at
maturity at that age, and hence is unfit
t. be sent to the stud. There are, of
course, exceptions, but these very ex-
ceptions go far to prove the force of the
rule. 1t is n violation of natures laws
that the young shall propagate its kind,
and that law is inflexible Whenever it
occurs, the foal robs the dam of some
portion of the nourishment destined by
nature to develop the material frame,
the result being puny offspring and per-
manent injury to the mother. Thus
time and money are both wasted.

Lime and Salt Mixtures.

Prof. johnson recommends for fer
tilizing purposes to mix one bushel of
salt and two bushels of dry lime under
cover, and allow the mixture to decom-
pose gradually, thus forming an in
innate chemical union of the two mate
rails. For this purpose the mixture
should be made Mt least six weeks before
use, or still better, two or three months,
the heap mentioned being turned over
occasionally. This salt or lime mixture,
when applied at the rate of twenty or
thirty bushels per acre, forms an excel
lent top dressing for many crops. 1t
acts powerfully on the vegetable matter
of soils; fifty-six bushels applied to n
turnip crop have produced as large a
crop rs barn-yard manure. 1t is also
destructive to grubs anAEother insects
of the soil. Like salt, it attracts mois-
ture from the air, and is useful against
drought. Itssdecomposing power is re-
markable, and if three or four bushels
of it are mixed with load of swamp
muck, the latter will soon be reduced to
powder.

Never burn green wood in q cook
stove, as it requires twice as much wood,
and three times as much patience as
dry wood does.
Never allow the oil to burn low in a
lamp, as it Injuries the burner by getting
too hot, and there is more danger of an
explosion.
Never allow bed comforters to get
pressed down in any way, for they are
not SO nice and warm; have them tied
instead of being quilted, so that they
can be easily taken apart when they
need washing. If they are used between
two quilts they will keep clean several
years.
Never wear broom on one side. as
it will wear much longer and sweep bet
ter if kept straight.
Never use sewing machine without
being cleaned and thoroughly oiled.
as it runs harder and injuries the ma
chine.

A Cheap Wash for Buildings.

Take clean, water-tight cask, and
put into it a bushel of unslaked lime
Cover it with boiling-hot water six
inches deep, stir briskly, and wait for
the lime to Stake. To the lime and
water add two pounds of n cheap salt
called sulphate of zinc white vitriol)
and one pound of common salt. These
ingredients cause the whitewash to
harden, and not crack and fall off. To
form beautiful cream color, add three
pounds of yellow ochre. A lump of
ivory black will give apearl or lead color.
Lamp-black may be used to produce a
darker color, if desired. Applied to
palings, plank fences, and all outbuild-
ings, they last longer and look better.
