The science ofoxster oulture.


 In his last London letter to the New Yorh ture, The English Illustrated Magazine, Mr. Smalley says:
 Professor Huxley concludss his paper on oyster and the oyster question, winding up with charac- tersticaly confident expressiOn of his belief that means of breedisg oysters will be discovered. t'1 dertake the business are provided with . proper knowledge Of the coalitions under which they have were hardly in type when English paper published account of the process recently discovered in America.
 If the distinguished naturalist will keep himself in communication with the Smith sonian Institution and Prof. Baird's work in the fish commission of the United States, he will often hear of things to his advantage. The breeding of oysters has been well un- derstood on this side of the Atlantic for se7- eral years. The 'spat," or spawn, of the oyster is expressed in pure waters, salt and fresh, properly proportioned and mixed, and carefully guarded against dis turbance. The animalculs is 8 very lively ''wiggler" for some hours, after which it at taches itself to whatever stationary object iE most convenient, and begins the formation of shell, The cuItivators provide clean smooth tiles, upon which the creatures soon present themselves under 8 amsgnifying glass At the age which experience has shown to be suitable they are delicately removed from ths tiles and planted with room to grow in Watert suitable to their nourishment.
 twill soon be necessary to make this pro duction of the young oyster serious business for the indiscriminate plundering of the bes waters of the Chesapeake and Delaware bay and the tributaries, both for the market and for 'tplants' elsewhere, threatens to dimin ish the supply, while the demand is rapidly increasing. Under improved processes, witt reasonable care, oysters can be produced more thickly than onions on land, in thou sands of square miles of American waters and so the scientists are helping to solve tn, problems of the future food supply.

At the Protestant Episcopal Christ church on Broadway very interesting service was held on Sunday evening. The baptism of seven young candidates for confirmation was very solemn and impressive. The text of the instructive discourse which followed was, Psalms xciv., 19, ''In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soul" This psalm was read in the lesson of the evening from the Psalter. The different wording was explained as having the same meaning. The surpassiDg value of the Chris tian life to it's possessor and to all within it's influence was beautifully taught and illustra ted.

RICHMOND AND DANv1LLE.
A Report of its Past Earnings and Ex-
penditures and Future Prospects.


NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The directors of
the Richmond and Danville Railway Com
pany this afternoon issued the following
notice to the debenture bondholders;
"By the terms of the debenture bonds
it became the duty of the Board of Direc-
tors to ascertain within sixty days after
September 30, 1882, whether the net earn
ings of the fiscal year ending on that date,
exclusive of the expenditures made for re-
pair, renewal and the improvement of ex-
isting property, as we'll as for the purchase
or construction Of additional property
and the equipment necessary for the
proper conduct of its business, were suffi-
clent for the payment of a sum not eX-
ceeding q per cent. per annum on the de-
benture bonds. That board having
omitted to perform this duty, it deyolves
upon the present one to determine
whether the company have realized
sufficient sum in excess
OF such improvements to authorize its
board to declare dividend to the de-
benture bOndholders on October 1. 1888.
The net earnings for the year ending
september 30, 1888, as shown by the an
nual report, were $l,29S, ,034. Deducting
liked charges of $1,219, 1853, it left
balance of $1S,S66. There was expended
for new equipment and betterments

ture bOndnOlders October l. 1882, sos, 760.
total of S1,621 sos, which was
provided out OF the profits on the sales of
securities owned by the company and the
increase of its floating debt. 1t thus APP
pears from the foregoing statement that
the net earnings Of the company having
been expended in providing additional
new equipment and betterments, as au-
thOrlzed by the terms of the debenture
bonds, they should not therefore have
been applied to the payment Of dividends
on these bonds. For the information of
the stock and bOndholders of this COM
pany 1t is proper to state that the ascer-
tanned net earnings for the eleven months
OF the present fiscal year over operating
expenses and fixed charges, havekbeen
$50 sol. The estimated earnings for Sep
tember are $72,7 a total of $3.50, $40.
The expenditures for the eleven months
for new equipments and betterments have
amounted to $402,091. The gratifying in
crease in the company's business and the
earnings and improved condition of its
road, and the determination of this board
to materially reduce the expenses of its
operation and administration, warrant it
in expressing the opinion that the net re-
suits of the company's business for the
coming year will be eminently satisfac-
tory to all holders of its securities.
