Phosphate for Flowers.-A. LIE,
Cummins has been experimenting
with and has at last perfected {
phosphate to be used in the cul
ture of flowers. A circular which
he has printed, sets forth its mer.
its, and is endorsed by some OF
our leading lady hori culturists
In this connection we may also
add that he has display at the
Middletown Fair of very large
corn, beets, potatoes, ETC., on
which his Diamond Crown Nitro
Phosphate was used.
The steeple of the Episcopal
Church, which blew off in the
great October gale of 1875 has re-
mained from that time unrepIaced
but we are pleased to learn that
the congregation have decided to
erect a new one this fail. The
members of this congregation
have been singularly fortunate in
"windfalls' Of another character
this year, and such a recognition
Of the hand of a bountiful giver Is
very appropriate and seemIy.
