The Rev. IL. Il. Kellogg, one of the pas
tors of Chicago, gives the following testi-
monies as to the permanence of the reform
work Of Mr.. Moody among the intemperate
of that city. The letter appears in the
Burlington IIawkeye. "Dr. Gibson, of the
Second Presby terrain Church, says, we re-
eeiyed over one hundred, and do not know
of one who has dishonored his profession.
Dr. Kitsredge, Of the Third Presbyterian
Church, says, 'We received between two
and three hundred,a and they appear quite as
well as the average Of any other members.
DR.. Thompson, OF the Fifth Presby terian
Church, says, 'We received one hundred
and fifteen, and all walk worthily. OF
these, six were very hard cases of dr.nkards
reformed, all of whom stand firm F." Mr..
Kellogg also states that Gospel temperance
meetings have been held throughout the
year in Farwell Hall, and have been a.ten
ded by hundreds of persons.

Mr. Jones says these "mythsn were
pushed through under cover Of "and

great 1t would have been foolishness In
him 20 have made inquiries concerning
them" He also says If he had placed
any inpediment in the way Of certifij
Gates being issued to pay this class of
claims he would have lost his position;
and that in some instances the only supi
plies furnished was the paper on which
the account was made out. Sergt. VIII!

were made out in the names Of fictitious
persons for large amounts, passed upon
by the committee or contir gent accounts,

a rich sugar refner of San Francisco has
bought 10000 acres Of land in the Hawai-.
ian Islands for the cultivating of sugar
cane. He will irrigate the dry lands, drain
the swamps, build railways and spare nc
money to make the thing a success The
same man, when the reciprocity treaty
making island sugar free of duty, appeared
safe of confirmation, slipped over and cor
rallied all the sugar for three years ahead.

A committee appointed last year by a
Georgia grange to ascertain the exact cost
of corn crop reported as follows: One OF
the committee planted forty acres of land,
having a rich red sub-soil, and from which
he obtained forty bushels per acre. The
total actual cost of cultivation and manure
was $lS5, and the rent of the land was
worth So per acre, making the 1000 bush
els of corn cost 1907, or little over 1e
cents per bushel,

Ireland, an island, with no larger area
than that of the State of Maine, shipped to
England last year 100000 head of live
stock, as follows Cattle $1,000, sheep 651,
600, swine $4,000, goats 1000, horses 49,
500, asses and mules 500. Irish graziers
have not done as well for a few years back,
having to purchase their stock too high in
the Spring and selling them off cheaply in
the latter end of the season, when grass
begins to fail.
Smyrna times., 1878-11-27

A house should never be surrounded
closely with shrubs. A free circulation of
air should be maintained all about it, and
shade trees SO disposed as to leave large
openings for the light and sun to enter.
The heavy rains Of some seasons produce
great dampness in our residences, and effect
the health and well-being of the occupants.
Such facts should always be kept in mind
when locating houses, and when planting
trees and shrubs about them.
Smyrna times., 1878-11-27

The flesh of young animals is more tender
than that of old, but experience shows that
it is mere resistant to the digestive powers.
Veal and lamb, for instance, are found by
dyspeptic to tax the stomach more than
beef and mutton. The flesh of an aged
animal, as is well known, may be so tough
