The STATE HOUSE OF CoRRECTIoN-AE IN
TEREsTING CONFERENCE. There was highly
interesting conference yesterday afternoon at
) O'Clock, at the office Of the Mayor, in re-.
gard TO the House Of Correction for the con.
iinement and reformation Of such youthful
offenders against the laws of the State as are
now sent to the penitentiary and the Jails OF
the Commonwealth only to graduate, by rea.
son of the training of old and hardened
conYicts, into accomplished and irreclaim.
able criminals. Among those present
were Messrs. Jordan and Loyenstein,
OF the special committee appointed
by the House Committee Of Asylums and
Prisons to attend the conferences; Senators
Motlett and Kirkpatrick; Colonel Gilman, Of
the House and Judge Guigon and Mayor
| Kelley. The interview was pointed and
practical, the remarks Of each gentleman
showing that he had given the subject more
or less attention and investigation. All
agreed, however. that the State, with the as
sistance of the city, could not longer delay
the establishing of house of correction
without doing violence TO humanity and
souud policy.
twas agreed that Judge Guigon shall,
right away, prepare bill embodyipg the
views Of the conference, and that the same
shall be reported to the next meeting of the
House Prison Committee. Further, that
Mayor Kelley shall see the special committee
of the City Council on this subject to-day,
and ascertain in regard to the material help
Richmond will give the project.
All the members of the Senate and House
present pledged themselves to advocate
earnestly in their respective bodies the es-
tabliShment OF State House of Correction,
and from their known influence and energy
we anticipate good,rcsult>. By the way, we
have heard Of no one who objects to such
house of correction as is proposed.

A folded newspaper not our paper) placed over the chest in side the vest, on going out during the present raw spring weather, constitutes an excellent protector for the lungs.
 In painting; do not apply a suc- ceeding coat before the previous one is dry. Do not use 8 lighter color over darker one, nor add dryers long before using. Use as little dryers as will do the work.
 The simplest, and perhaps best, paint to prevent buried wood from dccaying is made of boiled linseed oil, into which charcoal is stirred until the whole is of proper con sistence. Apply with an ordinary paint brush.
 Painters estimate that about one pound of paint per square yard is required for filling new work, and nearly half a pound for the second coat. The proportion is about half white lead and half oil of turpcntine for the filling coat.
 A citizen of Philadelphia, who used a weak solution of carbOlic acid as a wash to neutralize the offensive odor arising from can cer, discovered that the latter was entirely removed by the applica- tion. The solution consisted of one fourth of an ounce of acid di- luted in quart of water.
 One who has tried it, says: A cup of coffee is a sure barometer, if you allow the sugar to drop to the bottom of the cup and bubbles arise without disturbing the coffee. If the bubbles collect in the mid dle the weather will be fine; if they adhere to the cup, forming ring, it will be rainy; and if the bubbles separate without assum- ing any fixed position, changea- ble weather may be expected.
 An amusing story is told of Geo. Childs, of Philadelphia, who takes great pride in showing his establishment to visitors. He had passed through several of the de partments, and as he approached the stereotype rooms, remarked that this room was always kept in perfect order, when, on opening the door, there lay drunken com positor fast. asleep on one of the imposing stones, who did not ap- pear to be in perfect order. Tho disgust sf MT. Childs can be bet ter imagined than described.

Vandalism.

There are many "Goths and Vandals' yet in the world. Just look at the mutilated guide boards, the hideous scars and wounds which disfigure our shade trees. Look at the notches cut in the eatc posts and fences. The loun- per's knife seems never idle and benches, corner boards, chairs and even door castings sometimes share the same fate as the old goods box. This is all wrong and when 1 see any one stick his ax into q shade tree, or any tree in fact, merely ito be doing" l feel like telling him he had better 'be do ing something useful.
 Can any one derive pleasure from looking at q once noble oak or elm now half killed by ugly wounds on it's trunk? No; and they who have ruthlessly murder cd that aged oak should be com pelled to cut down and cut up into cord wood the once stately tree and haul it to some poor widow as Christmas present.
 Let our people discountenance and frown down such vandalism. Let all the boys read "Woodman, Spare That Tree," and let them read in history how the Goths and Vandals behaved in those ancient wars with the Romans, and they will learn what Vandal- ism means. I.

THE SUN. NEW YORK CITY.
WEEKLY AND DAILY FOR 1878.

The Weekly Sun has now attained circulation of over seventy thou- sand copies. Its readers are found in every State and Territory, and it's quality is well known to the public. We shall not only endeavOr to keep it fully up to the old standard, but to improve and add to its variety and power.
 The Weekly Sun will continue to be thorough newspaper. All the news of the day will be found in it, condensed when unimpOrtant, at full length when of moment, and always we trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instructive manner.
 It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the best family newspaper in the world. It will be full of enter taining and appropriate reading of every sort, but will print nothing to offend the most scrupulous and deli cate taste. It will always contain the most interesting stories and TO- mances of the day carefully selected and legibly printed.
 The Agricultural Department is a prominent feature in the Weekly Sun, and its articles will always be fresh and useful to the farmer.
 The number of men dependent on politics is increasing, and. the Weekly Sun is their paper especial ly. It belongs to no party, and obeys no dictatiOn, contending for principle, and for the election of the best men. It exposes the cor cuption that disgraces the country and threatens the overthrow of re- publican institutions. It has no fear of knavcs and seeks no favors from their supporters.
 | The markets of every kind and the fashions arc regularly reported in its columns
 The price of the Weekly Sun is one dollar year for sheet of eight pages, and tifty-siX columns. As this barely pays the expenses of pa per and printing, we are not able to make any discount or allow any premium to friends who may make special efforts to extend its circula- ton. Under the new law, which requires payment of postage in ad- vance, one dollar year, with twen- ty cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is the rate of subscription. It is not necessary to get up a club in order to have the Weekly Sun at this rate. Anyone who sends one dollar and twenty cents will get the paper postpaid, for year.
 We have no travelling agents.
 The Weekly Sunlight pages, fifty-six columns. Only $l.2O a year, postage prepaid. No discoun, from this rule.
 The Daily Sun.-A large four. page newspaper of twenty-eight col umns. Daily circulation over l20 900. All the news for two cents Subscription, postage prepaid 5' cents month, or SG.J0 a year. Tt clubs of ten or over discount O twenty per cent.

RECIPE FOR KEEPING MAY Bur TER.-Thc following has been tried for many years, and when closely followed will certainly keep spring butter good for one year or even longer:
 To three gallons of brine strong enough to bear an egg, add one fourth of a pound of white sugar and teaspoonful of saltpeter. Boil the brine, and when cold strain and pour off carefully. Make the butter into rolls and wrap each in clean white cloth. Pack a large jar full, and put a weight on top. Then cover com pletcly with brine, and keep it covered all the season. A roll at q time may be used as wanted.
 The writer once lost q large jar of butter down . well, where il remained for three years. On cleaning the well, the butter was found to be perfectly good, except an inch on the top. Good butter will keep any length of time wher completely excluded from the air These seem to be the conditions necessary to insure success.-Cor Prairie Farmer.
