Twsive Reasons Why the Industry Woul a
b Profitable.
In An extended communication 10 a
New York paper on the natural value Of
the beet sugar industry. Gerrit smith
Glenn reaches the following conclusions:
!. That We have the market for suaar
at home ct the present time which win
consume the product Of ct least LOO. 600
acres OF land, that the per capita con.
sumption OF sugar here lie rapidly incress.
ing, which, with our great increase Of
popuiation, creates and insures . con.
stantly increasing demand, our imports
In 1891 exceeding our imports in 1850 nv
more than SOC, 600 tons.
2. That the production OF beet sugar Il
increasing more rapidly than that oil cane
sugar.
3. That the production of sugar beeta
here at Q profit has been clearly demon.
strated and therefore has ceased to be an
experiment.
4. The culture Of the sugar beet, when
understood, is simple, and does not re-.
quire skilled labor.
b. The beets can be sent direct from
the harvest field to the mandatory with.
out further preparation or storage.
d. That the culture Of the sugar beet
Zoos not require any considerable invest.
ment OF capital by the grower.
z. That the implements required for
the production OF sugar beets are simple
and inexpensive as compared to those
required for the production OF wheat.
y. That soil upon which beets have
been successfully grown 10 left in prime
condition for other crops.
g. That We have . very large area Of
comparatively low priced lands upon
which sugar beets can be grown succees-
fully.
10. That the profit Of the grower 10
greater than the average OF other crope.
IL. That four months after the crop 10
planted It can be harvested and ct once
converted into moAey.
IL That with patient and persistent
application any person with ordinary in
telligence can successfully produce euRar
oeets upon suitable lands within the belt
described.

"Our wool growers. who had become
elated with the unaccustomed prosperity
OF the recent past, at once succumbed to
dependency, sold their focks, some for
migration across the Missouri, others for
the city markets, and large numbers for
indiscrimiuate slaughter for pelts and
tallow. This destruction commenced in
the autumn of 1868 and resulted in the
diminution of the aggregate number by
at least 4,000, 900 during the winter.
They we're killed for pelts and tallow
even in New England. In the
principal wool growing sections Of Ohio
the number slaughtered ranged from
10000 to 10000 in each county. In
Michigan and other western states the
slaughter was in almost equal proportion.
The assessors returns from the state Of
Ohio shows q reduction in 1863 Of 1,349,.
855, and further diminution in two sub
seqHent years OF 1863. 1855, due partly 10
slaughter and partly to migration west
ward. The total decrease In three years
from 1922 495 to 4, 3O2 1904 amounted to
| 43 per cent"

 From 1866 to 1869 Dr Abbott was pas- tor of the New England church in New York City. From that date till .is call to succeed MT Beecher in 1888, he gave up pastoral duties and devoted himself to literary work, editing The Illustrated Christian Weekly and The Christian Union, and writing several books of great merit, among them Jesus of Naza- reth and Old Testament Shadows of New Testam ent Truths.
 Never was 8 greater recognition made of merit or fitness than when Dr Abbott, at MT Beecher's death, was unanimously called to be pastor of Plymouth church. MT Beecher was generally regarded as the greatest pulpit orator America had ever produced. Many thought it would be wholly impossible that his place could be satisfactorily filled, and many were the prophecies that Plymouth church, having lost it's great leader, who was its heart and life, must die as an organiza- ton.
 Dr Abbott has not only held the church to Mir Beecher's high standard, but has led it out into new and larger fields of work. His sermons are models of the homiletic art and are listened to every Sunday by crowds of people. Plymouth church was never in stronger condition than it is to-day. A single ex- tract from the annual report will show the work that is done: Number on roll, l532; number received into the church during the year, 69; membership of the three Sunday school connected with the church, 2.305; total contributions for the year, eA0S2.6S.

A GOLDEN WEDDING.

c S Stepney people will be interested in the following from an exchange, con- corning Mir and Mrs Isaiah Burritt. MT Burritt formerly lived in Stepney and kept the store now occupied by B. Haw- ley & Go. The quotation follows:
 "Mr and Mrs Isaiah Burritt were pleasantly surprised Tuesday evening, and reminded of the 50th anniversary of their wedding, by the assembling of their children, and the unexpected calling of friends to offer their congratulations and to leave aflectionate tokens commemorate ing the event. Among them were two very handsome vases of magnificent chrysanthemums and pinks, handsome center table lamp, ten $5 gold pieces from their grandson, and many others; but the one as highly valued as any, and perhaps the most highly of all, was the following resolutions from the Methodist church, (of which they have for the past 52 years been members) the Epworth League, and the Sunday school:
 Whereas, it hath pleased Almighty God, our heavenly Father, in His great loving kindness to spare the lives of our brother and sister, Isaiah Burritt and his wife Mary Burritt to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their welded life, and Whereas, the int innate relations which they have held for many years to and in the Methodist Episcopal church of South ington, and which they now hold with us as members of the same, make it prop CT and fitting that we place upon record our appreciation of these services there | fore
 Resolved, that we give praise to our Heavenly Father inasmuch as He has spared their lives to the present time; al- so that we pray Him to continue His blessings upon them during the remain der of their lives.
 Resolved, that copy of these resolu- tions be signed by the pastor of the church, superintendent of the Sunday school, president of the Epworth League, and the committee on resolutions, and given to Brother and Sister Burritt, and also that a copy be put upon the minutes of the church, Sunday school, and Ep- worth League.

THE LIFE OF DR LYMAN ABBOTT IN NINA
 TURF.

So much interest is being taken iH the coming to Newtown on December 4 of Rev Lyman Abbott of Brooklyn, N. Y., and in the lecture that he is to deliver here, that a condensed sketch of his life may serve as pleasant introduction to many readers of THE BEE. pr Abbott was born of good old Puritan stock and of distinguished ancestry at Roxbury, Mass, December Is, 1885. He was graduated from the university of the city of New York at the early age of 17, and several years ago. in token of the honor he had brought to his Alma Mater, he was given by the university the degree of Doctor of Divinity.
 After graduation, he at once turned to the study and practice of law; but the endless wrangle and disputation of lawyers did not seem fitted to his schol- srly and quiet-loving nature, and he soon relinquished law for theology. His first charge was at Terre Haute, Ind, and he has frequently alluded in his ser mons and writings to the feelings he ooos WhSA oSs yVunSf uHo- oAASo eAAAAAS- ter, first found himself in contact with the rough and irreligious classes, which then made up large element in the West.
 During the war Dr Abbott was pro- nounced abolitionist, and he threw him. self into the cause of the slave with the full force of his brilliant gifts and with great earnestness born of deep convic- tion. At this time he was attracted to Henry Ward Beecher, who, with the superb eloquence of his lofty genius, was making Plymouth pulpit an anvil on which hot bolts of righteous indig- nation were forged. The friendship of the two men continued strong till Mr Beecher's death; Dr Abbott loves to style himself Mr Beecher's pupil and willing scholar, and, on the first Sunday after the great preacher had died. no one could so dttingly fill his pulpit and
