The House of Bishops Of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church, in their pas
toral letter delivered at the close of the
recent General Convention, speak in
no uncertain language on the subject
of divorce. The following passages,
incorporated in that document, are
worthy of serious consideration in
this day Of the easy sundering of the
marriage relation:
1t is part Of the liberty wherewith
Christ has made US free to lift up all
our domestic life into the pure atmos-
phere of spiritual thought and feeling.
Marriage is no longer union of con-
venience or a matter of civil contract
1t is the one blessed heirloom trans
mitted from the days of innocence; il
is the type and emblem of that union
which is between Christ and the
Church. The freedom of the chaste,
pure Christian house stands pre-emi-
nent among the earthly blessing be-
slowed on US in Christ.
How is it, then, that some among you
have presumed to put away wife ex-
cept for the cause Of fornication? We
are distr,s ed to know that some, un-
der pretext of civil divorce, have,
without adequate cause, dismissed an
uncougenial wife or husband, and after
marrying another have profaned the
Holy Sacrament by coming to it with
! a body thus de6led.
Be ye well assured, brethren beloved
that whatever license may be tolerated
by society and by civil courts, if any
persons be joined together otherwise
than as Gods Word doth allow, theiI
marriage is not lawful. Be admonish-
ed that f any cleave not to his wife
but unlawfully marries another, and
then comes to the table of the Lord
although he doth carnally and visibly
press with his teeth (as st. Augustine
saith) the Sacrament of the Body and
Blood of Christ. yet in no wise is he
partaker of Christ, but rather, to his
own condemnation. doth eat and drink
the sign or sacrament of so great q
thing.

IRON WAGON.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: - The iron
wagon work seems to be growing in
favor with our people. With a few
honorable exceptions, all I have heard
speak of it speak we'll of it. l think
our Grange will to man take stock
in it. have solicited no member who
has not taken from one to six shares.
There seems to be the strongest
reasons to believe that our town and
county will have one of the livest
manufactures in the State.
am not one of those who believe
that the iron wagons will supersede
the wood wagons-at least not for
many years-but it is clear to ne that
we must have more durable and
stronger wheel than the wooden, and
that the iron wagon is needed and will
sell here.
Wagons are necessarily exposed to
the weather and ought to be of material
not affected by it. The wooden wheel
is constructed of wood and iron COM
bined. The wood in the spokes and
hub are the braces. The iron in the
bands and tire is the power that holds
the wheel together. When everything
is tight this wheel can stand immense
strain, but the nature OF wood and
iron are such that no earthly power
can keep them tight for any length oi
time without sending i. to the smith
Iron and wood are affected in entirely
different ways by the vicissitudes o.
heat and cold. In hot, dry weather
the iron will expand and leave the
wood, and the wood will from the samt
cause shrink and leave the iron (anC
nothing can prevent it.) This i!
bound to destroy. for the time, thu
strength of the wheel. If cold weather
the iron must shrink, and from DAM
weather the wood becomes softer snC
expands, and this subjects the wheel tt
a strain that must damage it. Almos
all machinery is run by iron wheel
where strength and durability are re
quired, and why should the common
wagon, the most useful, numerous ant
exposed of them all, be without them
l hope this matter of building n
manufactures will occupy the stten
ton of every thinking man Of tow
and country. 1t is certainly the in
terest of all to urge it forward.
especially look tothe citizens of Clarks
vile for earnest and substantial aid
They will be the greatest benefciarie
and should be the leaders in this a
they have been in other enterprises.

THE FIRST PRINTED BooK.-The
first printed book on record is The
Book of Psalms" by John Faust and
Peter Scheffer, in 1457-precise au-
thors adding the date August 14th,
probably meaning that it was finished
on that day. The work which most
sgnalized Faust, and his art was the
Bible, which he began in 145O, and
finished in 1860. Copies of this Bible
he carried to Paris, where he offered
them for sale as manuscripts, and had
the misfortune to be imprisoned under
the suspicion of dealing with the Evil
One, for the French could not under
stand how so exactly agree in every
letter and point; nor could the un-
fortunate printer obtain release till he
had divulged the method by which his
books we're produced.

AFARMER in Missouri. has made q
calculation which shows that, allowing
two to each family, there are 460, ,00O
dogs in the State. He farther esti-
mates that the food consumed by these
dogs, if fed to hogs, would create go
COG, 900 pounds of pork, worth s., ,000,-
coo. He does not include in the esti-
mate of loss, the amount of wool or
the number of sheep destroyed which
would add largely to the cost of keep
ing ours; nor does he allude even to
the revenue that ought to be derived
from an equitable tax upon them. A
levy of one dollar upon every dog, but
one, exempted from taxation, would
yield to the State revenue of $3.50, 900,
which would prove great blessing if
added to the School fund, and great
convenience if appropriated to pay in
terest on State debt. 1t would give
an impetus to sheep husbandry which,
in return, would contribute to the fer
tility of farm lands, in the end, save a
large amount of labor now hired to
scratch poor fields and produce crops
at cost which their sale will not re-
pay. A flock of sheep is the best and
cheapest fertilizer the farmer can pro-
cure, and whilst the sheep are enrich
ing his fields, and ridding them of
pests, they are paying him literally, in
wool and flesh. for the little care he
may bestow upon them. With the ex-
,eption of a well-trained farm dog to
guard the premises, all others are
worthless so far as profit is concerned,
sud worse than worthless when they
sntice to the woods and fields, those
Sho ought to be driving the plow.

SOWING.

If it is very early in the Fall, the seed
should not be sowed until the danger
of very warm days has passed. After
the last of November the sowing
should be as soon as the bed is pre-
pared. A little less than a heaping
tablespoonful to ten steps square is
about the quantityof eeed. = CeEerthe
seed very lightly with the rake or
tramping the ground with the feet.
Cover the bed with good layer of
straight brush, not enough to keep the
light rains from the bed, but at the
same time enough to keep the ground
in moist condition even In very hot
weather. Make a low close brush
fence around the bed to keep the leaves
from being blown upon it. Rs-sow
whenever the plants are well up, so as
to have two chances. Take of the
brush cover when the plants are big
enough to shade the ground them
selves. If the plants are rather thin
on the bed, do not uncover until you
go there to draw the plants. If there
is any danger of a scarcity of plants,
always put the trash back after draw

/ / was requested by this Grange I,
write something about making plan
beds. It is new time to commence fol
the next crop and / respectfully offel
the following: ~,
To make good plant bed requires
good management and pretty hard
work. It will hardly be done well
without the presence Of the farmer to
attend to it.
The time to make bed is from the
18th of October to the 1st Of April.
The best beds are made in the Fall,
for the reasons that the ground is then
very dry and therefore more easily
burned and besides there is more time
for the ashes to rot before the hot
weather. A bed burned in the Fall
will hold moisture much better than
burned later. 1t takes less wood to
burn well. The plants are more vigor-
GUS and tougher.
THE SOIL
should be rich and light, and never
titled before.
THE LOCATION
should be as much exposed to the sun
as possible. 1t is best for bed to be
surrounded by timber. The bugs are
not so apt to find it. Low, rich val
leys will generally do better than
ridges, though any good rich new
ground will make good plants if well
burned aud prepared.
BURNING.
The ground should be naked, very
clean Of leaves before packing on the |
brush and wood. The Ere must have !
a fair chance at the ground. The |
brush should be packed on straight |
and close. at least enough wood mixed |
with it to make it lie close. If the |
brush is green, endeavor to mix what
dry stuff there is all through, so the |
FIRE will burn through without trouble. |
1t is very importantthatthe fire should
be as hot as possible while it is burn
ing. The bed should not be rained /
upon after it is set before it is burned,
as it will be doubtful whether the
ground beneath the brush will get dry
we'll. The ground should be always
as dry as possible when it is burned.
The bed should be set on fire in several
places at once so as to have very
great heat on it at once. Ifthe ground
is we'll burned it will be little crusty
and whitish. and will pulverize bcauti-
fully. As soon as the ground is cool
enough it may be loosed up and pull
rerized. This should be done well /
md may be done with good sharp
harrow and then followed with hoes
md grubbing hoes. Aim to keep the
lshes and rich soilon the surface, and
or this reason a bed is some times +
damaged by too deep working Bake
getting off all the roots and
rash. The bed should be drained by /
/ little ditch around it on the upper
tide.

A NOVEL CROSS DIVORCE SUIT.

The case OF Harriet Dietz against her husband,
John G. DietZ, came up before the General Term on
appeal from an order made by Judge Donohue,
denying the defendants motion for an injunction
restraining the wife from iurrher prosecuting her
action Ior divorce IN the Supreme Court. 1t ap-
pears that prior to the commencement OF this
action the husband brought an action for divorce
against the wife in the Superior Court OF this CITY,
and on a trial OF the action before referee both
parties we're found guilty OF the offences charged,
and the husbands complaint was dismissed and
judgment in accordance with the referees report
duly entered IN the action For subsequent of1enCeS

On the appeal from the order made BY Judge
DonoRue Mr. Charles W. Jones, on behalf OF the
defendant argued tnat, under the statute the
judgment OF the Superior Court was bar to the
vile ever maintaining any action for divorce, and
that therefore, the Court would restrain the
plaintiff from prosecuting such action while the
decree OF the superior Court remaned unmodified
Mr. William II. Gale, on behalf OF the paintin,
argued that the decree Of the superior Court was
not bar to an action for divorce on the part OF the
wife for new offences committed by the husband !;
that the judgment OF the Superior Court under
the decision OF the Court OF Appeals In the case
OF Pitts VS.. Pitts stood as a judgment or convlc-

obngations, aud that q repetition OF the offence
since the action In the Superior Court revived the
injury and gave to the vile new aud entirely dis
tinct cause OF action from that passed upon
by the superior Court, ana that, therefore. the
judgment OF the superior Court could not be used
in this Court as a bar to the action. Plaintiffs
counsel also argued that under the code Of proce-
oure no injunction could be granted to defend
ant In an action and that only party plaintiff
would have the right to such relief, and under
the decision Of the Court in the case OF Schell vs.
The Erie Railway Company the Court had no right
