A very cheap and good way to keep
greenhouse plants over winter is to dig
"A pit about eight feet deep, large
enough to hold the plants you wish to
save pot the plants and set them in
the bottom Of this pit before they get
frosted. They will keep in there very
nicely without any cover, until the
weather gets tolerably cold, when they
should be covered at night with hot
bed sash, but kept open in the day
time until the weather becomes very
severe. The pit should then be cover
ed up tight, SO that neither air nor
water can get in. Care should be ex-
ercised in the spring to keep the water
from the plants, either from the sides
of the pit, or the sash. Bulbs and
early Towering plants can be made to
bloom about SIX or eight weeks sooner
than they do when left outside, If they
are put down with the rest of the
plants.

The r-port of the commissioner Of agriculture
exhibits the results of the experiments in which
that department has been engaged during the
past year. and makes important suggestions in
reference to the agricultural development Of the
country.
The steady increase Of our population and the
consequent addition to the number OF those en-
gaging in the pursuit of husbandry are giving to
this department growing dignity and I'M
portance. The commissioners suggestions touch
ing its capacity for greater usefulness, deserve
attention, as it more and more commends itscii

been allowed and inscribed in the pension roll;
~ $50 have been rejected and abandoned, beng
thirteen per cent of the whole number
Of claims settled. There arc now pending
for settlement 265,5T5 original psnson claims

number OF claims now pending will be rejscted Or
abandoned. THIS would show the probable re-

Of about 1873 900 .laims, all Of whicI involve the

BrookhaVen Loses the Bank.

Mr.. Bnftaloe has just returned from St.
Louis, and informs us that the gentlemen
who contemplated establishing bank here
have concluded to invest their money in
s,ch an institution at Hazlehurst. The on
" reasons he assigns for their going to Ha-
zlehurst is that Copiah county is much rich
er, larger and better than Lincoln; that it
has four good towns, when this only has
one; that everybody gladly welcomes the
bank at Hazlehurst, while it was opposed
by some people here. Mr. Buffaloe did all
he could to bring the bank here, but he was
opposed by Mai, Millsaps and Mr.. 1. n.
Ellis, the other stockholders. They have
purchased a lot at Hazlehurst and will at
once erect a building thereon suitable for
banking purposes.
We regret we are to lose the bank and
believe the directors have made a mistake
in taking 1t to Hazlehurst, yet we wish them
well.
We yet hope to have bank here Moth.

he thinks of opening a bank, in connection
with his store. 1t would pay him and
greatly benefit the town to do so.
