DEATH OF A CITIzEN-Mr Michael G.
Ryan died at the residence of his father-in-
law, Michael Sherry, Esq, in this place, on
Thursday morning at 1 o'clock, after pro-
tracted illness, aged 30 years. Mr.. Ryan
was held in high esteem by all who knew
him as quiet, honest and upright citizen.
He was generally known as having attained
a considerable fund of scientific information
notwithstanding limited opportunities. His
mind was of more than ordinary calibre, as
those remember who have heard him debate,
and, had he been able to indulge it, his fond
ness tor intellectual exercises would have
made him man of mark. His correspon-
dcnce with the JOURNAL will also be re-
membered as the modest expressions of one
conscious of original idea, but wanting fin
ish. In all respects he will be kindly remem-
bered, especially by his bereaved family.
His funera! was held at ST. Michaels Church
yesterday afternoon and his remains inter-
ed in st. Michaers Cemetery, attended by a
large number of friends
IT is reported that notices were posted
at the mines along Georges Creek on
Thursday, notifying the miners that on and
after Monday next titty-five cents per ton
will be paid for mining coal, instead OF
sixty-five cents, the existing price.
Since the above was put in type it is re-
liably stated the New Central, Maryland
and American companies have posted no.
tees as above adverted to.
The Consolidation Company has notified
the public that men under twenty-one years
ofage will not hereafter be employed in the
mines of that Company.
In the reduction it is believed the men
will acquiesce, although with deep regret
for the necessities which compel it.

A Fathers Lesson TO His Son.

One day Roberts father saw him playing
with some boys who were rude and unman-
nerly. lie had observed for some time a
change for the worse in his son, and now he
knew the cause. lie was very sorry, but he
said nothing TO Robert at the time. In the
evening he brought from the garden six
rosy-cheeked apples, put them on plate and
presented them TO Robert lie was much
pleased at his fathers kindness, and thanked
him. You must lay them aside for few
days, that they may become mellow" said
the father; aud Robert cheerfully placed
the plate with the apples in his mothers
store-room.
Just as he was putting them aside, his
father laid on the plate the seventh apple
which was quite rotten, and desired him 10
allow il TO remain there.
"But, father" said Robert, I" the rotten
apple will spoil all the others I"
"Do you think so 2 Why should not the
fresh apples rather make the rotten one
fresh 2" said his father. Aud with these
words he shut the door Of the room.
Eight days afterward he asked his son TO
open the door and take out the apples. But
what sight presented itself The six APP
pies which had been so round and rosy.
checked, were now quite rotten, and spread
bad smell through the room.
" Father" cried he, Did not tell you
that the rotten apple would spoil the good
ones You did not listen to me-"
my boy" said the father, shave not
told you often that the company of bad chill
dren will make you bad 4? Yet you do not
listen 10 me. See in the state of the apples
that which will happen to you, il you Keep
company with wicked boys"
Robert did not forget the lesson. When
any bad boys asked him to play with them,
he thought of the rotten apples, and kept
himself apart from them Exchange.

The Testimony Of Physicians.

few months since a memorandum APP
peared in the public journals, signed by two
hundred and sixty-six distinguished physi-
clans and surgeons engaged in hospital prac-
tice in Great Britain, in which an earnest
| appeal was made TO the medical profession
at large to be careful, when using alcohol as
a remedial agent, so TO employ it as not to
| give ground that can afterwards be con-
strued into a sanction for its excessive or
even for its habtual, dietetic use. In this
memorandum there appeared an altogether
unqualified expression Of the opinion that
the value of alcohol as an article of diet is
immensely exaggerated, and that medical
practitioners are bound, in the face of the
grievous evil that results from its indiscrim-
mate and injudicious use, 10 incucate very
strenuousy habits of the utmost modera-
ton. Shortly afterwards a letter was printed
also in the public journals, addressed TO the
Archbishop of Canterbury, by Sir Henry
Thompson, the well known surgeon of Uni
versity College Hospital, in which he states
his own assured conviction that there is no
greater cause of moral and physical evil in
this country than the habitual use of alco-
holic beverages, even when restricted to an
amount which falls far short of the quantity
required to produce drunkenness, and that
is conventonally held to be quite within the
limits of strict moderation. Sir Henry fur
Their adds that such habitual use Injuries the
body and diminishes the mental power 10
an extent that few people are aware of and
that it is, in reality, the determining cause
of very large proportion of the most dan
gerous and painful maladies that come un-
der the care of the surgeon, and also of
much of the deterioration of the qualities
of the race that capacitate men for endu-
rance in the competition which must exist in
the nature of things, and in which the prize
Of superiority falls to the best and the
strongest Edinburgh Reriew.

More Experimental Facts.

Some time ago We gave some statistics from
the Bosion Cuhicaior in which the milk yield
OF Dutch COWS was compared with that of
others, especially Ayrshires, good deal to
the disadvantage of the latter. (And per-
haps here is as good place as any to correct
typographical error in a previous article
where, speaking of the Dutch herd of Mr.
Thomas Baker, of Barton. we were made to
say he had 4" a herd of three" where we wrote
ga herd of these cattle" Mr.. Bakers herd
is quite large, as well as an excellent one,
not inferior, indeed, to any Dutch stock
within our knowledge) We now copy from
the Scientific Farmer the comparative record
of two small thoroughbred herds, Dutch and
Jersey, kept at the Togus Military Asylum
farm, in Maine. We have seen these herds,
and know that they are well, but not extrav-
agantly kept Mr.. Douglas, the farm super
intendent, being just thorough farmer, of
the best old style. The record is as follows

The RuMsELLER.-The law of gain urges
the liquor dealer forward in his traffic, and
blinds him to its iniquity. II would seem
that he must be almost beyond the reach of
reform, ii the sufferings and misery ooca-
stoned by the sale of his articles causes him
to have no misgiyings. We rejoice in the
adoption of any means which tend to hinder
this dreadful traffic, Moral suasion has proved
itself effectual in many cases. Earnest and
importunate appeals can not be easily re.
sisted. This had practical exemplifcation
in the 80 oman's crusade" Those sincere
prayers, affecting songs and urgent entrea-
ties failed not to melt the hearts of many
hardened rumseller, But the dealer in liquor
will not always yield to prayers, songs and
entreaties, any more than an insubordinate
child will always obey by simple persuasion
or appeals TO his honor. An application of
the rod is sometimes the most eifectual rem
edy TO bring him 10 submission; so the
strong arm Of the law must sometimes be
brought to bear upon the drunkard-maker in
order to compel him to engage in some hon
orable occupation. Let legal force and moral
suasion heartily unite, and intemperance
will be effectually curbed, il not completely
overthrow.

Both the Jerseys and Dutch were fed alike
each year. In 1873 the Dutch gave 42G
times their weight in milk, and the Jerseys
4.55 times their weight. Here is real com

The amount Of feed to each herd is not re-
ported, but no one viii believe that the great
Dutch cows ate less than the little Jerseys /;

Native Fruits.

We extract the following items from a re-
port upon new varieties of apples, by Charles
Downing, to the Western New York Fruit
Growers Association
Mdgog Red Streak DR. T. II. IIosLins, OF
Newport, Vt, furnished specimens Of this variety
and writes that it originated in Newport, some
twenty years since, and although not first-class

Dundela, Ontario, some seventy years since, but

In a private note, Mr.. Downing adds
This is oneof the best eating apples have
seen for some time, aud is somewhat of the
Fameuse class, but Of better quality, and
Mr.. Mcintosh assures me that, growing in
the same orchard, it is much harder, longer
lived, longer keeper, better quality, and
has not missed good crop annually for
forty years.
At the same meeting S. d. Willard fur

ing great value on account Of its extreme
