Meeting at the Brooklyn Academy.

Meeting at the Brooklyn Academy.
Another meeting Of the prominent citizens Of
Brooklyn was held last night in the directorsi
rooms OF the Brooklyn Academy OF Mu-ic for the
purpose OF completing their organization, to be
known as the Municipal Union Society Of Brook
yn." h
Mr. 8. B. Chittenden, who had been chosen as
chairman Of the organization, was in the chair.
After the minutes Of the previous meeting had
been read Mr.. John Winslow presented draft of
the bylaws ana constitution OF the Union. This
was adopted.
Mr.. Chittenden then made few remarks, taxing
the same ground as on the former meetng-that
both cities would be greatly benefited BY being
ing 80 rapidly that 1t must find an outlet, and
eventually large portion would be crowded over
only twenty-five square miles, while the area OF
Philadelphia was loo, AID Baltimore and other
places in like proportions.
Mr.. Charles DENNIS sent In q communication
recommending that the cities be united by series
OF bridges the same as In In LONDON ,o and white,
provided Tor the PASSAGE OF act to submit to the
people the question OF the desrabity OF the union
OF the two cities under one municipal government,
Mr.. winsow stated that there had been sixty
four names added to the roll.
Mr.. Demas Barnes spoke at some length upon
the subject. He thought the reasons for annexing
were 100 reasons for Union ten years ago there
we're only ten reasons now The value OF their
property was decreasing. ana p,,,e people
Madison square.
General Slocum was OF a contrary opinion, but
thought IL was unmanly on the part OF Mr.. Barnes
to speak In that manner In regard TO Brook lyn.
We aid not ask New York to take pity on us, for
We were rich In property, and our debt was very
small compared with that OF New York.
Mr.. Chittenden wished to cOntrovert the posi-
ton taken BY Mr.. Barnes II he wanted to puy
property now he would purchase property in
Brooklyn In preference 70 New York. He considered
the completion Of the bridge as indispensable to
the welfare OF the city. This winter had shown
the necessity OF the BRIDGE even II used only in
foggy weather,
4 resolution was then adopted to the erect that
the Executive Committee be empowered to confer
with kindred organizations favorable to the object
perfected.
The meeting then adjourned.

liquid half emptied. The County Physician was
notined, and on making an examination OF
the case ne resolved to order an inquest. JEAN

Hints for ouf farmers.

One of the leading topics of discussion at
the New England Fair this year was the
breeding of horses. and the unanimous
opinion Of the gentlcreD who spoke upon
this question seemed to be, that New
England farmers and breeders should
make speciality of the roadster or gen.
tleman's driving horse. In this class Of
horses. tough, hardy, spirited and snowy,
of only medium size but great speed it
was claimed that New England could sur
pass the world. The attempts 10 breed
the heavy draft horses, such as are raised
in Pennsylvania and the west, has not
been successful in New England. Our
barren, rocky pastures and billy roads
are not adapted to them, and they are
expensive to keep. 10 the discussion the
fast horse found still less favor than the
heavy draft horse. Ono speaker said
that not more than one horse in huud-
red which was bred for speed alone was
able to trot fast enough to make it an OBJ
iect to train him for the turf, while in
breeding for speed other valuable qualities
were sacrificed. The demand for the sty-
lish, fast trotting, geutleman's horse was
said to be increasing, and farmers were
advised to breed horses Of this class, which
is best adapted to New England, will al.
ways sell for renumerative prices, and if
not stylish or speedy enough to bring
large pric,, is still just the horse the far
mer wants to keep for his own use.

HARVEST HYMN.
BY "a. WHITTIER.

BYJ.G. WHITTIER.
Once more the liberal year laughs cut
Der richer stores than gems Of gold;
Once more with harvest song and shout
Is natures boldest triumph told.
Our common mother rests and sings
Like Ruth among her garnered sheaycs;
Her lap is full of goodly things,
Her brow is bright with autumn leaves
Oh, fIvOrs old, yet ever new;
Oh. blessings with the sunshine sent!
The bounty oyerruns our due,
The fullness shames our discomfort.
We shut our eyes. the bowers bloom on;
We murmur, but the corn-ears fill;
We choose the shadow, but the sun
That casts its shine behind us still
Gives us, with our rugged soil.
The power to make it Eden fair,
And richer fruits to crown our toll
Than summer-wedded islands bear.
Who murmurs at his lot to-day?
Who scorns his native fruit and bloom,
Or signs for dainties far away.
Besides the bountcous board of home
Thank heaven. instead, that freedoms arm
Can change a rocky sol! to gold;
The brave and generous lives can warm
A cline with northern ices cold.
And by these affairs wrcathed with flowers,
And fields with fruits, awake again
Thanksgiving for the golden hours,
The earlier and the latter rain.

and to get living by ones wits, even at
the cost of Independence and self-respect,

passing from Americans to lrishmen and
Germans. Fifty years ago father was
not afraid to put his children to the pillow,

are "too feeble" for bodily labor; one
has a pain III his side, another slight
cough, another very delicate constitution,
another Is nervous and so poor Bobby,

in the pure and bracing air of the country
is just what these puny, wasp-waisted lads

swing the sedge, or shove the foreplanc,
and their pnched chest will be expanded,
their sunken checks pumped out. and
heir lungs now cabined, "cribbed and
