How TO HAVE PLENTY or CUrUMBERs.-

proper size, aud all the rest were gathered
every day for pick every day piuching of

continued fresh and productive until touched
by the frost. Some judgment can be formed
OF the value of this practice when add, tha,
more than barrel of pickles was maze from

Whenever a Leaf began to look rusty or vel.
lowish, 1t was removed, and the cucumbers

as not to disturb or iujurc the vine There is
an advantage in having them run upon brush
instead Of trailing over the ground because
they are much injured by being trvdden on,
and by being kept low on the brushes they
can be easily and thoroughly examined every
day. which is essential, because If cucumbers
are overlooked, and grow very large, it stops
the yield OF that vine.

We have received letter from Messrs.
Stitt q Underhill, wOolen manufacturers,
No. 1873 Chambers street, New York, under
date of August 5th, which we think of inn
portance to our East Tennessee farmers.
These gentlemen are readers of our East
Tennessee articles, called to see us last
Spring after trip through our country,
and they therefore know of what they
write. They write us as follows:


Since the writer had the pleasure of see
ing you, wool has advanced fully % per
cent, and scarce at that. There seems to
be more fine than coarse and medium in
the market. We are not able to see why
East Tennessee cannot get to work rapidly
in growing wool. We need more long
combing, coarse native, and quarter to
half-blood wool, and there is no enterprise
that will make your country rich faster.
We will (if you wish forward you all the
papers we can get on wool growing; also,
agricultural papers, showing where stock
can be had, and you can most always find
farm sheepin Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York markets. The WOolen Manu-
facturers' Association will take some ac-
ton on this subject on the 18th of this
month The land in Western Pennsylva-
MIA and Ohio has become so valuable that
it does not pay them to raise anything like
the amount they used to produce. With
your cheap and medium priced lands, we
look upon it more favorable to the growth
of wool than any other part of the country.
This applies to all the country from Cor
louisville Junction, Va, to Chattanooga.
We would be much pleased to hear from
you, and will do all we can to get the wool
growing started in your section.

THE DEACoN'S REToRT-The deacon
was not very much behind, if the follow
ing story be true. In a small town on
the Schuylzill river, there is church in
which the singing had run down. 1t had
been led many years by one of the dea-
cons, whose voice and musical powers had
been gradually failing. One evening the
ergyman gave out the hymn, which was
in an odd measure, rather harder than
usual, and the deacon led off. Upon its
conclusion the minister rose and said:


Brother B will please repeat the
hymn, as l cannot pray after such sing
ing"


The deacon very cOmposedly pitched
into another tune, and the clergyman pro-
ceeded with his prayer. Having finished
he took up the book to give the second
hymn, when he was interrupted by the
deacon gravely getting up and saying in a
voice audible to the whole congregation /:


"WilI Mr. make another prayer :?
1t would be impossible for me to sing
after such prayer as that"

Tile Missionary Record-the only


journali in the State edited by colored


man-aenounces the leaders of the


dominant party in this State: It says


"Ifthe signs of the times indicate


anything, it points clearly to the neces-


sity ofsa reorganization of the Repub-


lican party of this State. The depart


ure from the principles laid down in


the beginning of its organization has
left it shorn of it's effectiveness for


that great good which it designed


when it came into power. The gi-
gantic frauds and speculations which


has disgraced the party and tarnished
its honor, the profigacy with which the
leaders have spent the public funds,
and bartered away the peoples inter-
ests, calls loudly for Reorganization
and apurgation Of the-party. This de-
mand seems to be made in the North,
by the1eading Republican clubs, who
are calling for reorganization of the
party in view of the induction of SO
many unworthy persons into it. The
defraudings in custom houses, the rail-
road speculations which involve the
States credit, the various schemes of
public plunder which have brought
odium upon the Republican party anil
shaken,the confidence of the people in
its integrity, and question its effective
ness for future good, all these point to
the necessity of change. The class of
men who are now the leaders in the
politics are class who are so unscrupu-
lous that no man who values his repu-
tation' is willing to ally himself with
such characters. When set Of drunken
rowdies can rule the roost and put up
and elect their particular friends, ma
nipulating conventions and stufing
ballot-boxes, then there is no honor in
being, associated with that class Of men.


Reformation is now demanded in
the Republican ranks in such manner
as will warrant the security to The peo-
Pile as their interests demand, or there
will be an organization OF a party IN
opposition to the corruptionists who
now rule the politics Of our State.
Such Estate of affairs cannot last al
ways The time is coming when intel
ligence will not submit to be ruled by
ignorance and imbecility; when the
jewellers in public spoils and their ILL
gains, the result of their treache-
ry to the people, will meet their doom.
The time is not distant when this re-
orsan;,s4ion will begin in earnest, and
every honest man will ho found arrayed |
on the side of good government and a
purifcation in politics. "

After the discussion u better feeling
seemed to prevail, and there was more
liberal disposition manifested. 1t was
remarked that this was simply com
mcncement of the proceeding, and if the
sums allowed were not sufficient they
could be increased hereafter.


On motion of Alderman Kimball, it
was voted that the City Clerk notify each
iami Y OF the amount allowed. and the
sums should be paid to the families in
cash every Saturday at the Treasurer's
office.


Alderman Kimball urged the establish
ment OF Il system of appropriations for
the support of the families of those who

He thought it due to those who were
ready to volunteer, that they should un-
derstand how much was to be allowed to

lesion Of both muscles and tendons of the

CoL0EINu CHEESE. The subject of col
oring cheese is attracting more than ordi-
nary attention this season. Some of the
buyers for the London market insist upon
keeping up the color heretofore, while
others assert that pale cheese, or white, is
much more called for. We must say that
for our home market, uncolored cheese
seems to be demanded. Much prejudice
is being manifested against colorcd cheese
All admit that coloring does not improve
the quality, while many contend that it
does positive injury. One of our largest
dealers informs us that colored cheese
kept more poorly last winter than white
cheese. AS general thing, the colored
cheese becomes more mottled in appear
anc4 and tallowy in texture. On the coll
trary uncolored cheese generally winter
ed well. He is of opinion that in two or
three years, no coloring will be used in
the manufacture of cheese.


TO SOFTEN HARD PUTTY. Puverized
chalk and limseed oil are component parts
of putty, which is commonly used for fix
ing glass window panes in their frames.
1t becomes hard as 4 stone by the influ-
ence of the atmosphere and in case of its
having to be removed for the insertion of
a new pane, hammer and chisel have to be
used, A mode, therefore, of sottening it,
when its removal Is wanted, will be general
| ly appreciated. To that effect paste of
| caustic potassa has to be prepared by mix


ing the caustic alkal, or even carbonate of
potash or soda, with equal parts of freshly
| burnt quicklime, which has previously
| been sprinkled with water, SO as to cause
it to fall into powder. This preparation
has to be mixed with water, and then spread
on the putty, in order to soften it. If one
| application is found to be not sufficient, it
may be repeated Also some hot-soap
when added, would prevent the paste from
drying too quickly.

A good substitute for cheese, and one up
on which hard work can be done, is made
in the following manner: Take milk Just
as it begins to turn sour, pour over it about
one fourth It's bulk of scalding water, beat
ing the milk with spoon as the water goes
on, to cause the whey to separate. Then
strain off as much liquid as possible, finally
washing the curd with clean water. Add a
little salt, and the result is a very palatab lie
soft cheese.

TIE New NJ. f. CEMETRRY.-We have
been requested to call attention TO the misera
BILE condition of the new Methodist Cemetery
in this town. 1t is so badly neglected that the
cows have taken it for pasture ground, and
have broken off the young trees and shrubs in
the private lots. The walks are filling up; the
fence and gates are almost ready 70 fall, and
the whole ground shows a shameful want Of
oversight This is the way some of the lot
holders complain about it. Those who would
decorate their lots are thus discouraged, and
say they cannot afford to set out rare shrubs
and flowers to have them destroyed by cattle
Such neglect whilst it thus does injustice to
private parties, reflects on the congregation
owning it and the town it is in.

Jake Emberlin, with his wife and lit
tie daughter, has been living for some
time in the western part of the city, near
the Northern Indiana College. Last
Thursday night he went to one of the
numerous saloons here and invested in
large flask of liquor, and that night
drank copiously of it. The next morn
ing, which was the coolest of the season
the thermometer indicating fourteen
degrees below zero-Emberlin got up
and kindled fire in the stove, and then
went back to bed. Shortly thereafter
his wife arose, dressed herself, prepared
breakfast, and then called her husband.
He did not answer, and she went to the
bedside and attempted to awaken him.
but was struck with horror and over
whelmed with grief to find him dead.


Emberlin was a stout, robust fellow
in good health, apparently, up to the
time of his death, though addicted to
the use of strong drink. The last it is
alleged was undoubtedly the cause of
his death. A coroner's inquest was
held, but no further information was
