Col. Jeff Bovnton. of Arlingtc

Col. Jeff Boynton, of Arlington,
Ca, has discovered 4 novel way for
favoring watcrmclons. He says you
can flavor them with any extract you
desire. His method is: Before the
melon ripens, cut Il slit about an inch
ong in the stem and about two-thirds
through it, and pour in a drop or so
OF the extract every morning. until
you think you have the melon favored
highly enough. Every morning after
pouring in the extract, close the stem
and tie q string around it to hold it
together. Colonel Boynton favored
quite a number of melons in this man
ner, and is now enjoying some rare
and excellent melons.

The Hedges ut this season of the year are void
of foliage, leaving nothing Lutthc naked fence,
and il is now stock-prOof. occupying less than
one foot of ground and from three to hve fcct

From our observation of this and the grow

From the Courier we clip the fol-
lowing:
Mrs. Glass, reTict of the fatc Lewis
F. Glass, died at the residence of her
o Isaac, situated i mife from Ber-
ryville, on Sunday morning, after a
brief illness.
A cowhiding Ease occurred in Mill
wood last week, in regard to which
the general verdict seems to be,
"serYed him right" 1t seems that
a young man of that place wrote an
insulting letter to the daughter of a
much respected citizen of that town,
and when she received it she handed
it to her father. Providing himself
with a cowhide and taking his daugh-
ter with him, the father called on the
young man, and, producing the let
ter, asked him if he wrote it. The
young man, we are informed, partly
admitted writing it, whcrcupon the
father of the young lady seized hold
of him, and at the same time produc-
ing the cowhide, babe the daughter
lay it on his back with all her might.
This she unhcsitatingly did. The
young man, Thos. Russell, was fined
by a justice for writing the letter, but
as the matter has been appealed we
will forbear making any comments.

RIVERSIDE PARK IMPROVEMENT.

Amap of Riverside Park with proposed improve
ments prepared by General Egbert l.. Viele; was
presented to the Park Board yesterday by west
Side propert y-Owners. Simeon Z. Churcn, cyrus
Clark, Ira Birdse and Fleming Smith represented
the West Side Propert -Owners' Association Ihey
asked that certain Improvements indicated shouid
be carried forward rs far as possible during ine
present year. The plans provide Tor general li-
provement 6f the park from Seventy -second-st. 10
Claremont, where the monument to General Grant
will be placed. Stations are also narked at inter
walls for q rapid transit road which will run along
the river front where the Hudson River Railroad
now has tracks for freight. sc
"The authorities of the Hudson River Railroad"
said Mr. Chnrch, told General Viele that they
would be willing 70 provide rapid transit along this
route in the future as soon it should be needed.
Those who have seen the West Side develop within
ten years know that this new line is already
needed"
Fleming Smith said that he was ready to sub
scribe $500 for a statue of Fulton on the site
known as Mount Tom" tho ehighest point OF
Riverside-aye., which has been designated for Full
tons statue. He would also subscribe 5000 each
for similar memorials to Hendnck Hudson and
De Witt Clinton. which he thought equally appro-
pirate to this Park.
President Beekinan said that work would begin
on the improvements IN Riverside Park as soon as
the weather would permit. resoutlon presented
by HIM was passed providing for the removal OF
the nursery and propagating houses from the upper
portion of Central PARK TO Morningside Park. The
