DEAru or COMMODORE NUT. - George
Washington Morrison Mutt, well-known to
the public rs Commodore Mutt, died early
on Wednesday at New York city, from
Brighl's disease. lie was 81 years old and
but forty three inches in height. Ills father,
Major Rodnia Mutt, was a substantial far
mer living in Manchester, n. H., i'll which

occurred at Grace Church, New York,
February 10, 1863. The bridesmaid on that
occasion was Miss Minnie Warren, u SISTER
of the bride, and more dimlnutivc wo-
man. Subsequently, the quartctte travelled

LIncoln's Speech at Gettysburg

Four-scoro and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this continent
IL new nation, conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all men
are created equal. Now We are engaged
in great civil war, testing whether that
nation. or any nation 30 conceived and SO
dedicated can long endure. We are met
on II great battlefield Of that war. We
have come to dedicate II portion of that
field as final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that that nation
might live. 1t is altogether fitting and
proper that we should do this. But in n
larger sense we can not dedicate, we can
not consecrnte, We can not hnllow tins
ground The brave mon, living and dead,
who struggled here, have consccratel 1t
far above our power to add or detrnct.
The world will little note, nor long re-
member, what we say here, but it can new
er forget what they did here 1t is for us.
tho living, rather to he dedicated here to
the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far ~ nobly nj
vanced. Ii In rather for us To he here
dedicated to the great task remaining he
fore us, that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause for
which they gl,ve the last full measure of
devotion; that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in
vain that this nation, under God shall
have IA new birth of freedom, and that
government Of the people, by the people
and for the people. shall not perish from
the earth.

An unusual number of trees from the
nurseries have been set out this spring,
and planters have generally learned how
to do the work well. A moro common
mistake is to neglect them afterwards.
The ground becomes hard and crusted
about them, and they suffer from neglect.
1t will make great difference in their
growth if the surface is kept constantly
clean and mellow for a distance Of at
least one yard on each side. Mulching
the surface as hot weather approaches is
especially useful for young cherry trees,
which suffer severely and often perish in
hot weather if standing in hard, dry,
crusted soil. AS growth begins, watch
for black knot on the bearing plum trees,
and cut it out on the first appearance.
Trees may be thus kept clear Of this e1-
cresence M easily as the soil is cultivated.
By neglect, it becomes incurable. Straw
berry plants intended to be kept in stools
should have the runners cut frequently,
or on their first appearance if allowed
to make some growth they exhaust the
plants Gardeners should always bear in
mind that the best exterminator Of weeds
is light steel rake, which enables the
operator to pulverize the surface of the
soil frequently and rapidly, breaking and
destroying all incipient weeds before they
can reach the light, saving labor and pre-
venting the formation of a hard crust.

The Jews IN the United States.

In little pamphlet published by the I'm
ion of American Hebrew Congregations" we
find some interesting statistics respecting the
Jews in the United States. The number re-
ported as living within the bounds of Yer
mont is 1l9. of whom "A are said to be in
Poultney, "a in Rutland, 2 in Montpelier,
Is in Burke, and 4 in Charleston. The only
congregation is in Poultney, and is said 10
number 10 members. New Hampshire is
reported 10 have no congregation, and but
few Jewish families probably $50 per-
sons" in all. The census Of Jews in Rhode
Island is estimated at 1000, with two con
gregations in Providence. Boston is said to
contain 1000, with eleven congregations, one
benevolent and two literary associations.
There are supposed to be 1500in other parts
of Massachusetts. Connecticut contains
three congregations, . in New Haven and l
in Hartford The Jewish population OF the
former city is set down at 1000 New York
city has 90 congre cations New York State
80 more, with population for both city and
State of so, 5G5, of which G0,OOO are in the
city. Plattsburgh has one congregation, or
ganized in 1861, with 30 members. This
society counts 125 in all, and maintains
school which etlucates 81 children.
For the whole United States total popu-
lation of $50, ,a57 is reported, with 1855
children in religious schools, and l2,5lo
members Of congregations, which in the ag-
gregate number 21S, and own real estate to
the amount of 81, 1ss, 200, and other proper
ty to the amount of 81 $50, $50.
They have four Orders, or Secret Socie-
ties whose main objects are the moral, social
and intellectual improvement of lsraeltes,
the relief of the sick and bcreaved and the like.
Many other orders exist, of various sorts.
Nine Orphan Asylums are reported, and two
Homes for the Aged, with five Hospitals,
one in each of the following cities New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati,
New Orleans. They have also College
with an efficient corps of Professors, which
affords gratuitous instruction in Hebrew (in-
clucing Rabbinical studics) and the classics
to students Of all denominations. They have
Young Mems Associations in twenty-five
different cities, and seventeen newspapers
and magazines, of which all but two seem to
be in the English language.
The pamphlet from which We have taken
the above facts, seems to be the first serious
attempt on the part Of the Hebrews in this
country to collect and publish their own
statistics 1t furnishes very interesting
proofs of their activity in the lines of educa-
ton and benevolencc, as also of the vitality
of their ideas of religion and nationality.

! behind me rs If III warning, but all can
do is to hold on and trust in Providence.
| Our pace. if possible increases, and, with
n sort Of idea of going up IN balloon,
Gar and myself seemed suspended IN
| the air miles above the brook. 1t seems
ages before we come down again, which
We do with a Jerk that would have un-
seated me had it not been for Gar sud
denly springing forward and shaki ig me
back to my proper place. We rush ON to
where the hounds seem to be scraEib bllng
for something and quarreling amongst
themselves-they have run into The fox
and Car comes to standstill lu;t out
sibe the worrying pack.
Up comes the first whip and iiogs them
off their prey, and SEQ Sir Harry ad-
yancing towards me, red i'll the face and
violently gesticulatinS with his heavy
hunting crop. What have Idone? Have
| unconsciously infringed some point III
hunting etiquette or have l hurt Gar?
Neither the one or the other. Sir Harry
hastily flinging himself off his steaming
horse, comes up to me and seizlng me by
the hand nearly wrings my arms n and
bursts ont with:
"Well done, my boy You rascal, you
You've pounded the,wholeo OF us. Never
saw such going in all my life: Don't be,

could have done it, Here Lord George

heartily by the hand. Il trust I" he able
to show you some good sport if you are
thinking of remaining in our country

While he is speaking several gentle
men ride up. to all of whom | am intro

the hunting field, presenting me with the
brush, | handed it to her with all the
grace compatible with mud-stained habili-

We rode home together-Sir Harry and
an old crony of his riding some distance
in the rear Gar was complacent and
had apparently had quite enough, at any
rate, for that day ; so thinking that L
might never have another such opportu-
nifty, l gently took Hates whip hand and
ventured to put that question which had
been so long on the tip of my tongue.
Her answer was whisper Yes" but
suddenly turning to me she added-"On

"Name it, dearest" replied.

must promise me never to hunt after We
