The owners and drivers OF coal-carts,
omnibuses, hacks, and sleighs almost took
possession OF the street-car tracks, which
had been cleared for the ears.
They should, perhaps, have returned
thanks TO the street-car company, but
they said that what with the snow thrown
from the sidewalks and that thrown from
the tracks there was nowhere else for them

Foreign Exports.

The exports of horned cattle from the port
of Boston to European ports during the year
1882, aggregate 1860 head, which is only
about third the number shipped in 1881; =;
the exports of dressed beef fell of a trfie
less than one-half. The principal cause of
the decline was the extraordinary high price
of beef in the Chicago market. which. in the
spring was higher than ever known before
even during war times. The English
markets, are, as rule. steady. They
huctuate. { f course, more or less, but not so
extravagantly As our markets here, and they
did not rise at all in comparison with the
American market. High prices at the buy
ing points, had the effect of checking export
beef business, and the season has not been
greatly profitable to those engaged in it.
The shippers of live stock have still con-
tinued at disadvantage in the competition
with shippers of dressed meats in the winter
months. by the high rates of freight and
insurance, which are almost prohibitory In
hot weather, when the risks of dressed meats
spelling are greater. and the insurance and
freight rates in live stock lower, the compe-
tition is more equal, and indeed. it Is not
yet determined which class of shippers has
the advantage. The shipments of live sheep
were about 5000 head greater than in 1881.
but 100000 pounds less of mutton was
shipped.

Papers from the Senate disposed of in
concurrence
Mr.. Ives ot Castinc laid on the table to be
printed the following resolve
Resolve on education and taxation declara-
tive of principles. The existence and well
being of a government which is of the people,
and for the people and bv the people, is de-
pendent upon the intelligence and morality of
the people II is thereto the duty of the
State to provide and secure for the whole
people ,urh an education as will qualify its
citizens for seIf-government, and to tax the
property Of the State for this object. Such
an education our Common Schools are de-
signed to give. 1t is therefore the duty of the
State to establish and support Common
Schools for the whole people, and to provide
suitable teachers for the same by establishing
and staining Normal Schools. Institutions
of learning of higher grade for advanced and
professional education which are available
for the few and not the whole population and
not designed far the whole, should not be
supported by tax on the whole people, but
be selt->upporting, with supplemented aid,
such as private benev0lence has so literally
bestowed on our Colleges and advanced inst-
tulions of learning.
Mr.. Ives said
The design Of this resolution is to give
clear expression to the right and duty of the
State to educate the whole people, taxing the
property of the State for this object and to
dlaw the line beyond when the DUTY of the
State, in supporting institutions of learning,
does not eXtend-defning more explicitly on
this point Il 2 general duty enjoined in the
Constitution. The whole population must be
educated at the expense of the State. up to
point as high they can be carried bv our
system of Conn on Schools in their best state
The ge Ieral good dem: nds that there should
be ready and libe ! appropriation Of means
to secure this end-supporting the schools
and also providing for them well-traned and
competent teachers. Higher institutions of
learning are for the few and not for all
They are of the highest Importance. in giving
tone and elevation to our common schools, in
their gene. al lberating and Tightening in
fluence upon the whole community, and in
training men for professional and more i'm
portant departments of labor. In all appro-
PIRATE ways they are therefore to receive the
encouragement and fostering care of the
State. But as being for the few and not for
all. in no case may they depend for their
support upon tax laid upon the whole peo-
pie. Happily, for them and for all, this is
unnecessary. The beneficience of liberal
and enlightened individuals has been active,
and is still active. to meet the wants Of these
institutions not always just at the time and
! in the full degree which seemed important
| The want must first be known, and the ap-
peal be made and proper and earnest effort
put forth, before the end is secured. Within
/ the last twelve years, fully $1,000, 900 have
been given, BY personal liberality, to instiiu-
tions of learning in our country. These

Flowing Gardens in Winter.

Periods of mild weather occasionally occnr
during the winter, and where the fall plowing
has been omitted, it may profitahly be done
later The agency of frost in making the soil
fine and increasing its fertility. is not sufii-
ciently appreciated. If the soil be trenched
OF plowed afte' the crops gathered and
left in deep burrows, nearly twice the surface
is exposed to the frost The alternate lreez-
ing and thawing breaks down the coarse
Jumps and makes the plant food therein more
available for the crops of the coming season.
Flowing at this season also disturhs the win
ter retreat of manv insects that will be de-
stroyed by exposure 70 frost. The advantage
of working the soil in the late fall and inter
is seen in the cultivation of celery. The
stirring of the soil in blanching the crop, and
the rough shape in which the trenches are
left. give the frost and rains fair opportuni-
" to improve its tilth. Frosts will fine the
soil more perfectly than any tools of the
cultivator. 1t not only releases the inert
plant food in the soil. but makes the manure
that is added more available for the crops of
the next season.

Chinese Funeral,

Last Sunday an old Gbinamsn who
has lived in Chinatown for several
years past passed in his checks and
is now probably In the land of spir
its. The old fellow was a hines
Mason, and the Order took charge OF
the funeral. The ceremonies vt the
house were quite Interesting to those
who had never Witnessed anything
OF the kind before, aud it took quite
a little while to go through the per-
formance. His relatives, two neph.
ews and son, were the mourners,
and they performed their duty in a
very solemn and BETTING manner
Enough roast pig, duck and chicken
WAS set out for dinner 10 feed All the
ChiuaHen in the country for week.
and this over with the corpse was
placed in the coffin, the coffin in the
hearse and the processi u formed in
line and started for the cemetary
q, he , hinese band brought up the
rear and played "JohDny Comes
Marching Home" aud other sppro
prists pieces. arriving at the grave
the coffin was lowered and upon the
lid was placed bowl full of rice
with which the corpse is supposed
to feed himself while en- route to the
happy hunting ground. 1.-THE tool
of the grave WAS placed a roasted
chicken, some roast pork and other
indelicscies, and q large number oi
candles of various Sizes and shapes.
The Cinnamon present then went
through . performance Of moving
several times before the grave AID
