TR Purchasers.

There is n halt in the conversion Of ev-
denCes of city indebtedness into the ctys
watcrwOrks stocks. The WaterwOrks Com
pany decline to transfer on their stock book
the shares exchanged by the city for It's float
ing debt The reason for this declensiOn, we
are informed by the president Of the com
pany, is the fear that the terms of the law
have not been strictly adhered to In advertise
ing for the bids. For example, the act Great
ing the WaterwOrks Company, provides that
these advertisements for bids shall be adver-
tised for fifteen days, and while it is admitted
that the advertisements did appear in
the official paper during fifteen consecutive
days, it is questionable whether the law
meant to authorize the opening of bids on the
fifteenth day, at noon, as was the case. In
other words, that it might have been neces-
sary, In order to comply fully with the law,
not to open them until the sixteenth day

BLACRBERRIEs.-O all fruit con-
ducive to health, we are disposed to
concede To the blackberry the highest
place. Thousands of lives, especially
Of children. might annually be saved
by free use of this fruit during the
summer. 1t is of the easiest culture,
requiring but little attention after the
first year or two. aud yielding abund.
ant crops for half a century. Set
plants four feet apart in rows, with
rows full eight feet apart. This will
require about l.500 plants to the acre.
The three leading varieties are the
Kittatinny. Lawton and Wilson's Ear
ly. The Kittstiuny is the best black
berry in cultivation. Its extreme hard :.
iness. great bearing qualities. large size
and luscious quality make it favorite
wherever grown. 1t continues in bear
ing for five ar six weeks, or until the
earlier varieties of grapes and peaches
begin to ripen.
