PERMANENT GRASS. Water inca.
d0wsare among the most productive
of permanent grass lands. Cut the
management of water meadows is
very frequently injudicious. No
cattle should be allowed upon an IT.
rigated meadow. nor should the wa
ter be permitted to run continually
over one spot. A meadow thus
treated very soon become a morass,
and is then spoiled. A dressing of
bone dust is remarkably beneficial
to water meadows, greatly thicken-
ing the grass and improving the
quality of the hay. An application
of plaster the next year still further
improves the meadow. AS soon as
the hay becomes inferior in quality
and decreases in quantity, it is re-
stored by repetition of this treat.
ment. The chances for making
water meadows are frequent, and as
their value becomes appreciated
they will become mnch more com
mon than they are now.

The hall, which holds 9, 500. was deuse1y packed.
The meeting vas called to order by :he Hon. SAM

Chairman Tho Chairman HI,oko At some
length relative to the necessity Of cphoding shat
part O. tia Consolidation act governing the COL
lection, management, e1lstodv, and disbursement
OF public funds; that no discretion IN tho mstter
should be allowed TO any official, no matter how
high his station or honest his motives. The
speaker warmly euloRized Judge slanloy in the
matter, ana proceeded to trace the bankrupt
Stn.c Of New York and other 1aryo Eastern
cities to the neglect and disregard of such laws
by those having the custody Of public funds, aod
concluded by hoping law would Lc go formed
that any official guilty of placing tho public
funds in any bank except Is q special deposit,
should ba sent to the pcn!tentiary.
TEo Hon. s. soule also expressed the same
sentiments.

10 chow iu detail that sucn had been the case,
ard, arguments to tue contrary notwithstanding,
the money was not deposited IN the Treasury,
and did belong 10 the city. The certified corti5-
cates represented money due to the city and
county, and not to tho State, as no separation
had at that time been made. No g; ecia! deposit
had taken place. and there we've the certificates
of deposit simply meant that the bank owed the
tax collector the eum Of money named. and, Ind
the bank failed, tho Gig would have certainly
lost the money. There has been inaugurated

Of putl.c money which, in the hatds OF dishon-

III question has not been lost owing to the bang

Mr. Hishton alluded to tho national loss Of

for his personal absence from tho meeting, aud

offered a Bar:es IT resolutions which we're uuani-
