A LARGE SLEIGHING PARTY.-A sleighing
party from this city, numbering eighty -one i'll
all, visited Doylestown on Saturday afternoon
last. They arrived there about five O'Clock,
and attracted considerable notice by the num-
Der, if not the beauty, of their turnouts. The
party took supper at Corson's hotel. Gen.
w. W. II. Davis, of the DoyIesto@n Democrat,
was present by invitation, and was introduced
to the company by G. A. Skillman, Esq. He
responded in few remarks. The supper was
an excellent one, and after partaking of it,
and spending a short time in social way, the
party started for home, most of them reaching
here by 10 P, NJ, but at what time those who
tarried at Centreville arrived we do not pre-
tend to announce. Everything passed off very
pleasantly, and all enjoyed themselves in the
best possible manner. The only casualty )"
was the loss of lawyer along the way. He
was picked up, however, before they had pro-
ceeded far, and was safely delivered in Doy-
lestown, in time for supper.

AMwELL MILLs.-The yarns of the Amwell
Mills Company of this city, have first-class
reputation among manufacturers of cotton
goods, and those who have used them declare
that they are not only equal to, but better
than, the best made by other companies Mr..
j. j. Frazer, the Superintendent of the Com
pany, has been untiring in his efforts to
put it in the front rank as to quality of
manufactures, and it is to these efforts that
the Company owes its present reputation in
the market. We hear that the Company is
pressed with orders, and could do double the
amount of business if $4,000 were added to
its capital. We trust that this amount of adj
.ditional stock may be raised, as it would be to
the profit of the stockholders and of great
benefit to our city. With the above outlay
(Which is less than two-thirds of the amount
now invested) the product of the mills could
be doubled, the profits largely increased. and
employment given to much greater number
of hands.

MISSIONARY ANNIvERsARY.-The mission
airy anniversary at the M. L. Church in this
resulted quite successfully. After an excel
lent sermon by Rev. j. S. IIeisler, collection
was taken amounting to $780, In the after
noon a collection in the Sunday School for the
same purpose amounted to $52.26. These
amounts added to $137.78 raised in the Sun
day School from March, 1872, to January,
1878, inclusive, and $500 contributed by the
Amwel Church, make the total amount thus
far raised S27i.O4, greater amount than was
asked for by Conference which was $3.50. 90.
There will be still another Sunday School col
lection before the close of the Conference year.
which will probably bring up the sum to
100000.

AN INDIAN RELIc.-A few weeks ago as
some young men from this city were visiting
the Goat Hill quarrics, they saw a rabbit run
under large rock. One of them crawled into
the hole, and found an opening where was de-
posted large earthen pot. 1t was of pc
cular shape, and contained some fancy work
on its upper surface. This was, without
doubt, of Indian manufacture, and had been
placed where it was found great many years
ago. Unfortunately, it was broken up by the
young men and pieces distributed among them.
If it had been preserved unbrolen it would
have been worth several dollars, as perfect
pieces of ancient Indian pottery are quite
rare.

said buckwheat was more profitable, if no
caught by the frost. Strawberries, he said,
could be made very profitable, if well attended
to in time. His plan for the coming year is
to SOW no more oats than he can help, but all
the buckwheat he canwith grass seed. J. A.
Wilson could not agree with Mr.. Young. He
thought oats was profitable crop--more so
than buckwheat, but the grass crop is the best.
Z. E. Holcombe noticed that where you SOW
buckwheat it leaves the ground more lively
but the answer to the question says, sow
economy. What does that infer? 1t means,
till your soil well; by sowing oats and blowing
under he considered would be sowing economy.
We do not pulvcrize our soil as we should do.
J. A. Wilson said, sow oats with clover, and
plow under the clover. 1t would be sowing
economysmore than blowing under oats. E.
E. Holcombe's plan for the present year is to
sow oats and pillow under for winter grain. 4.
b. Holcombe said, few years ago, when
blowing corn the last time, he sowed clover
seed, and the following summer he plowed the
clover under for wheat. Where the clover was
thin, he puta light dressing of manure, and
he had as fine a crop of wheat as he ever raised,
and the land showed the benefit to the present
time. ~. G ~
A motion was made requesting members to

cided success. There were a goodly number
in attendance, and all appeared to be pleased.
The hours glided away pleasantly in social
conversation, singing &c. The gifts consisted
of money, eatablcs, a splendid waterproof
cloak for the pastors wife, a bed-spread made
by the nimble fingers of the ladies and in
scribed with their respective names, and a
package containing six dollars, collected by
two little Misses of the Sunday School, chiefly
from the members of the School, presented by
them to the pastor for the express purpose of
purchasing new covering for the head. AL

parsonage a few weeks ago. makes the pastor
richer in pocket larder and wardrobe by about
one hundred and ten dollars.

The Professor failed to arrive and perform
