A Minister,s Novel Enventinn.

LIrcHFIELD, Aug. 2s.-Rev. A. B. Morri-
son, of this city, who for thirty years. has
been a Methodist pastor, and who has, of
course, attended great many burials, for
several years has been devising an easier and
safer process of depositing bodies i'll the
graves. He has at last completed an inVeE-
tion for that purpose. It consists in an adjus-
tible folding crane, derrick and lever, by
which the heaviest body can be safely and
gently lowered to its last resting place with
out the possibility of mishaps. This appara-
tus is not cumbersome, but can easily be
folded and set aside. Mr.. Morrison received
a telegram from Washington on Saturday
notifying him of the granting of the patent.

1t is much better to plant onion sets in the
fall than to wait until spring. Aside from
the gain of time by doing it in autumn, the
risk of keeping them in good condition is
avoided. They should not be planted until
next month, or until so late that the tops
will not start into growth. At this SESSION
the soil is warm and mellow, and the work
can be done with much more comfort than
in spring The sets will commence their
growth very early and be much in advance
of those planted in spring.
