A GOOD OLD CUSTOM.
TO the EdfOr or The Trtbune.

TO the EdftOr or The Trfbune
Sir: was glad to see in your paper suggestion
to revive the custom Of making New Years calls. The
most dscourteOus social act the ladies Of New York
ever INDUCED in their refusal to their friends
who called New Years Day. The custom was one
which gave significance TO the friendly genial style
Of New-YOrk city life far above any other since
introduced. native or imported. Wine, coffee and
other refreshments may be dispensed with, but surely
door might be opened and the hand Of friendship
extended ~ those who came with good wishes for
the opening year. AN OLD NEW-fORkEk.

Of political character by any OF the speakers Many
Of the delegates believed that the speakers Invited
by the board should confne themselves entirely to
agricultural TOPICS but the delegates decided TO lay
the resolution tho table. 1t was apparent from
the discussion that large majority believed that
the farmers could not be harmed by listening TO adj
dresses from students Of political economy. Dr. j.
A. Lintner. entomologist OF tho state of NeN-York,
read paper on Z" Our Insect Enemies and How to
Detect Them" and Professor George d. Hulst spoke
of tho chronological work at the NewJerscy Expert
ment Station. w. W. Case, Of Baptisttown read a
PAPER on "Money- making by Honey making' He
said tho State was well favored with all the kinds Of
blossoms that are needed to mako tho production OF
honey a profitable industry, but he advised busy
farmers not to engage in Bookkeeping unless they had
sons daughters with leisure enough TO give the bees
proper care. few committee reports were received
