WATCH NIGHT-ITS OBSERVANCE
The lecture-room of Bread-street Metho-
dist church was well filled last night with
persons drawn together for the purpose Of
participating in religious exercises incl
dent to the observance of watch night.
About half after nine o'clock services were
commenced by singing hymn, after which
prayer was offered by the pastor, DR..
CRANBERRY. The Doctor then made short
address, which was full of fervor and
solemn impressiveness. Singing and prayer
followed, after which Bishop Doggett
made stirring and eloquent. address of
some length, in which he REQUIRED to the
history Of the time .honored old custom of
watch night, class meetings and feasts, and
regretted that they were not more gener-
ally observed. His remarks were followed
with singing and prayer, after which Rev.
DR.. Edwards made most happy and feeling
address. At the conclusion OF which, it then
being few minutes of IL O'Clock, Bishop

as the old year died out and tbs new
dawned in upon them, many perhaps think

year, tLTOugu WHICH Cney nau SaIely passed
and wondering what tldings the new one

praying for strength to resist it the coming

hoping for return of like nature.

WHAT THE CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS
DID LAST NIGHT.

The members of the Senate, at their
meeting, nominated all their old officers.
The worthy and experienced Davis,
as clerk, did not expect any opposi-
ton and was not disappointed, but the re-
suit in the cpse of the sergeant-at-arms, Mr..
j. West Miner, first door-keeper, confidently
expecting to GUST Writ Harrison for the
sergeancy, was disheartening to the gentle
man from Loudoun. A plaster Of conso-
lation was administered to-day, however,
in the shape Of return to his old
place of first door-keeper. The position Of
second doorkeeper, formerly held by Abra-
ham Hall, colored, was abolished. This
was only negative consolation to Soon
sentative Niger but it sorely disap.
pointed sixty-seven other white gentlemen,
each Of whom expected to get the place.
The clerks power of appointing state off.
GERS and others as committee clerks ad
aayfnttem from any and everywhere was
very properly restricted at this meeting--a
wise effort in the direction Of ring break

A joint resolution was received from the
House, which was concurred in, relative
70 the appointment Of committee of two
on the part of the Senate aud three on the
part Of the House, to wait upon the Gov
ernor with reference to any communica-
ton he might have to make to the General
Assembly. Judge Nowlin and Senator
Quesenberry performed that duty on the
part of the Senate. The committee re-
turned and stated that Governor Walker
had no written message to make wished
them happy New Year, aud stated his
readiness to receives the incoming governor.
The usual formula was then gone
through in reference to the counting Of
the ballot Of election for governor and
acknowledgements which was performed
in the hall Of the House in the presence Of
both bodies.
Similar action was taken in the House
with reference to the counting Of the ballot.
The House assembled at II sharp, and
call for order was made by the accomplished
Bigger, who, the roar of many voices hav-

offered up prayer. The House, with
commendable celebrity, proceeded to bust

The message Of Governor Kemper was
received, and on account of the lateness of
the hour its reading was dispensed with,
and one thousand extra copies were ordered
to be printed.

I The Office Of the secretary Of the COM
monwealth was vacant when we saw it,
but the handsome and accommodating
Binford was doing the honors in the south
cast corner Of tho state library. Herein
that inevitable saw-fsh snoot aud the
Algerins musket looked as blood.thirsty
and belligerent as ever, while the smiling
countenances Of our ancient governors
looked down -benignantly from adjacent
walls. Here also could be seen copy of
the ordinance of secession; JEFF Davis
portrait |; copies of the warrant to execute
Mary Queen of Scots in 1887; do. to
execute King Charles the I in 164s the
roll of Battle Abby in 1896; Magma
Charter-an extract from King John by
English Barons in 1915; the bail bond Of
j. Davis and numerous other cuiiosities,
Including some Confederate notes.
We found the office of the accom-
plished Owens, aid to the retiring gov
ernor, apparently deserted. Everything
was bright as newly-shaved face, and
the retiring incumbent was doing the
parting honors with his usual grace and
dignity. Mozis Addums sat in an adjoin-
ing apartment, calm and serene as q
summers morn. Il
The oath Of Office to Governor KEN
per was administered by Judge Mon
cure, of the supreme court of appeals,
in the office of the secretary of the COM
smonwcalth, without parade or ostenta-
ton. The Governor will be serenaded to-
night at his new quarters by the First
Regiment band. "
The work entrusted to DR.. William
Price Palmer, of preparing the archives

THE Scientific American cautions peo-
pie against the too frequent use of CAM
phor as medicine. 1t says the nature Of
camphor is that of nervous stimulant
similar to opium or alcohol, and when
taken in large doses causes irritation of
the nervous system and produces convul-
sions, often fatal in their results.

RESTORING CoLoR.-When color on a
fabric has been accidentally or otherwise
destroyed by acid, ammonia is applied to
neutralize the same, after which an appli-
cation of chlorcform will in almost all
cases restore the original color. The ap-
pllcation of ammonia is common, but that
of chloroform is but little known.

!. Here this month is generally rather given
to preparation, than to the performance OF
any actual work in the garden, though our
Southern readers are doubtless beginning
TO plant, it being considered safe to put out
the hardy vegetables whenever the soil is
dry enough and the temperature of the air
will not fall much below an average of 45o.
In this class may be included beets, carrots,
cabbage, onions, parnips, Leas, radishes,
spinach, turnips, &c.
The getting together of materials for
manure is work that is always seasonable,
and litter, leaves, muck, &C., may be
advantage mixed with the stable
manure to increase its bulk of all fertiliz.
ing materials for use in the vegetable gar.
den, it is doubtful whether any surpasses
in effect that which is largely composed OIL
such materials as named and others Of
vegetable origin. Mineral manures, guano,
&C., will stimulate and cause early
maturity Of. products, but good compost,
well rotted, gives more permanent fertility,
and seems more congeniai to the crops
grown in the garden.
Hot-beds should be prepared for use,
glass mended, soil made ready, mats and
shutters put in order and sash painted.
The time to start them varies Of course
with the locality, the rule generally adopt
ed being to SOW the seed six or seven weeks
before the usual time of setting out the
plants, though tomatoes may be given an
earlier start than this.
Put tools in order before they are need
ed I; replace broken parts, sharpen hoes
and spades, and see that you have every
thing ready for work when it begins.
Examine your stock Of seeds. Do not
trust any that are uncertain as to age or
variety. Prepare your lists of such as are
to be purchased from the scotsman, and
send for them early. By postponing this
until the planting season is about to open
you join in the rush, and are liable to
mistakes at time when they are difficult
to be remedied. By procuring your sup
plies early you have the opportunity also
Of testing your seeds, which it is well
always to do. Stick to approved varieties
for your main crop. If you wish to
try new things, do it on small scale first,
giving tho wider breadth to kinds found
adapted to your section and climate.
The difference in the estimate of
the value Of novelties is seen in the
reports of. the various tomatoes, newly in
troduced rs candidates for public favor.
The Messrs. Landreth say they purchased
and tried two kinds Of these, and that on
the goth August one of them had not a ripe
fruit on the vine, and the other had not
even set fruit; while Mr.. Wick says the
darlington" was not worthy of introduce
ton, and that the Canada Victor, !" .dver-
tised last year as very early, Ls had pre-
viously tried, and considered without merit.
The Trophy" seems to maintain its char
acter for size and solidity and is popular,
though coming late.
