There is a significance in the name JAN
uary, the opening month of the new year
which has been recognized for ages. From
the time of the Roman emperor Numa the
new year has begun with this month. 1t re.
ceiyed its name from Janus, deity in the
ancient Roman mythology, who was repre-.
sented with two faces-one looking back
over the past and the other gazing into the
future. He also bore in his hand a key
which denoted the place of January at the
oDening of the wear.

On Wednesday evening, the 22d inst, the
merry jingle of the bells could have been heard
in various directions while the happy young
men and maidens were vending their way joy
fully and briskly over the newly fallen snow to
the residence of Mr. Jesse Guyton, the event
being the celebration of the nuptials of Mr.
George 7. Huff, of Mill Green, and Miss Rebec-
ca P. Guyton, of Fallston. The parlor was
brightly lighted, as also were the faces of the
company beaming with pleasure. Shortly after
seven O'Clock the bride and groom entered and
were met in the centre of the room by Rev. Mr.
Colbun, of Trinity Church, Churchville, who
performed the ceremony. Although the scene
was pleasant one, yet no doubt all present felt
due solemnity when the minister babe the
newly welded pair knecl before him, while he
invoked the blessing of Almighty God upon
them. Both the bride and groom looked the
picture of neatness he in the usual suit of black,

AN OLD FASHIONED Snow STORM set in last
Saturday night and continued until Sunday eve

but from fifteen to sixteen inches fell The
roads were impossible in many places, the snow
drifts being as high as the fences. None of the
stages started on time, Monday morning. AT
ter the roads were broken the sleghing was ex-
cellent.
Another snow storm set in on Tuesday eve
ming, and about two inches of snow fell during
the night, On Wednesday morning the sno
came down again in true old-sashioned style,
and continued to fall all day. In the evening
the snow ceased and the stars came out. We'd

Ice CUTTING.-The Susquehanna river is COW
cred with beautifully clear ice about seven in
ches in thickness. Messrs. Cochran d Co., Oler
IL Co., Barnes & Archer and Frederick u Sons,
who own the large ice houses, near Havre de
Grace, were prepared to cut on Monday, but the
ice was covered on Sunday by deep coating Of
snow. A force of laborers came up to Havre de
Grace from Baltimore city, on Monday to en-
gage in cutting ice, but were disappointed. The
storing capacity of the ice houses at Havre de
Grace is 200, 900 tons. About one thousand men
are required to run the houses to their full ca
pacity. The ice must be seven or eight inches
thick before it is considered safe to put several
hundred men, plows and horses on it.

WHEAT CULTURE.-We are indebted to
the publishers, the Orange Judd Company,
of the american Agfcultu,1st, for pamphlet,
written by Mr.. D. S. Curtiss, of Washington,
entitled "Wheat Culture how to Double the
Yield and Increase the Profits" The cost of
raising and marketing wheat is estimated at
$40 per acre, including taxes, interest on
land and wear and tear oftools. The aver
age yield per acre is placed at fourteen bush
] els, and the average price 81 per bushel.-
This gives profit of 81 per acre, allowing
nothing for the straw, which should be re-
turned to the land. Estimating land to be
worth 500 per acre, the interest ON the fixed
capital invested is thus only four per cent
BY doubling the yield, the interest will of
course, be eight per cent. on the same CAPT
tai. How to obtain large yield of wheat is
the question. Mr.. Curtiss argues that this
can be done by undertakings, except where
the soil is naturally of loose texture; by
deep cultivation with the sub-soil pillow, SO as
to enable the soil to retain moisture in dry
time as well as to allow an excess to pass of
readily in wet season; by perfect pulveriza-
ton and stirring of the soil, by fine blowing,
narrowing and rolling; by literally supply
ing the soil with soluble silica and alkaline
matters, such as potash and lime; by clover
and plaster by the proper selection and pre-
paration of the seed, sowing perfectly ripe
seed, which has been gathered, threshed and
4 binned without being cracked or heated in
/ the lightning threshers, and which has been
! perfectly screened and cleaned in the tanning
:nills Mr.. Curtisss little book Celebrates the
points to which we have alluded and con-
tains, besides, much that is interesting in re,
4 gard to the history and statistics of our great
cereal crop.
