For storing onions there is no better
place than dry, cool and airy loft,
where they can be spread out thinly,
and looked over for the removal of
those which may have began to decay.
Warmth and moisture are fatal to the
keeping Of onions. and much handling
Is almost equally so.

AGRICULTURE.

90 MUCH SUNSHINE Plants In pots
On balconies, in windows, or In stu A.
tons exposed to the direct influence of
the rays OF the sun, are often half n nd
sometimes altogether killed by the
root roasting n which they are sub
1ected, The surface If he pots ofren bez

have, indeed, sorry time of It under
these conditions. The best of them.
too, are always la the worst place:
that is, on the outside Of the pots, and
In closest proximity to the hottest por-
ton. Roses are frequently badly In
jured by exposure of the surface roots
to too great heat. Camellias, azaleas
and many others, will not endure heat
on the sides of thin pots. Heat at the
wrong place and wrong time is fatal to
many plants, In spite of careful atten-
ton.
Double potting and the rendering
opaqua portion OF the glass through
which light and heat are admitted, are
the remedies too seldom employed by
novices In Horticulture. A too great
solar heat brings about a sudden flux
Of sap, softening of the tissues, a
dissipation and waste Of the juices of
the plant; and these leave traces of
weakness behind, which render the
plants an easy prey TO disease and in
sect pests; for IL is as true in vegetable
as in plant life that the weak invite
disease, while the strong resist it. The
very excess Of heat which exhausts the
vital forces OF plants, is usually most
favorable to the increase and strength
ening Of the pests that prey upon and
destroy plants.

Guilty OF Wrong.

Some people have a fashion of con-
fusing excellent remedies with the
large mass of "patent medicines" and
in this this they are guilty of wrong.
There are some advertised remedies
fully worth all that is asked for them.
and one at least we know of-Hop Bit
ters. The writer has had occasion to
use the Bitters in just such climate
as we have most of the year In Bay
City, and has always found them to be
tirst-class and reliable, during all that
claimed for them.

Obituary.

Died, at the residence Of VIM. Felix in
Ohio county, on the 25th day Of No
vember, 1881, at s O'Clock 4. NJ, after q
protracted illness Of several years, Mrs
Nancy Devices, wife of Farmer DE.
wees.
Deceased was the daughter of John
b. and Rhoda Haynes, and sister of Dr.
Haynes, Of Masonville. She was born
near Mt. Pleasant church, in Ohio
county, in 1916, and was for many
years member of the Christian
church. She left twelve children, ten
of whom are daughters, to mourn her
loss. Seldom has the dark angel OF
death looked in upon such Il scene. The
husband and four daughters, all women
with families, gathered around her as
if they would shield her from the en-
envy, but how feeble is human strength
or love to save from death.
May the husband, children and
grandchildren meet her in the climes
of blessed immortality.
Her soul has stepped in through the portals
OF that city paved over with gold,
And heard the sweet flow Of its murmurlng
streams,
A. through the green valleys they roll.

Miss Nancy Ellen Morgan, daughter
of Phocion and Elizabeth Poyner)
Morgan, was born in Ohio county, KY,
November 18th, 1852, and died of ty-
phOid fever in Morgantown, Ky, No
vember 30th, 1881. She had been i'll
for some, but was not regarded rs in
dangerous condition, in fact was
thought to be convalescing, when she
relapsed, became delirous and 50 re-
manned to her death; still she knew all
her friends who called on her, but in-
sisted that she was not sick. Her father
did not realize her critical condition UNI
til a very short time before she died.
Miss Ellen was not an ostensible pro.
fessor of religion, nor do we know any
thing definitely of her views aud feel
ings on the subject. We know she was
an attendant npOn church service, aud
expressed a liking for our preaching.
She was intelligent, industrious, self
reliant, pleasant in the social circle, an
obedient and faithful child, II loving
sister and II kind friend. Her willing
hands, fmpelled by heart Of sym.
pathy, were always r. ,dy to administer
to sick aud suffering humanity. She
will be missed Ia the social band, in thu
sick room, and in the home made desn
late by her absence, and loved ones lar
away will be sad and lonely when they
receive the sorrowful tidings of her
death. They are not demonstrable peo-
pie, they are wounded but bear il with
iortitude, and tie world will not know
the depth of the wound or the anguish
they feel.
An old friend, comes '.tO weep with
those who weep" and to bring the
wreath of "Edith, Hope, and charity"
as friendships tribute to her memory.
May the promises of the gospel and
hope of immortality cheer the father
brothers and sister in this hour of sor-
row, and may they all meet again in
the "Sweet bye and bye" +.
