Blackberries.—The difficulty with
most blackbcrrie* is that they are too
tender to stand our winter uncovered
and too brittle and thorny to be easily
covered.

and justly. They can
be grown ami picked standing up on our
feet; they are excellent dried or pre

Itliuharh.—In pulling rhubarb early
in the season when the stems are short
take only a few from each crown; but
later, when well grown, it is better to
pull it (lose and then hoe around Hie

Bom Smut.—There is no doubt of
the hurtful charin-fer of com smut, and
the cattle should l>e prevented from de
vouring the stalks affected with it. Where
cattle are worth more than the
labor of saving them, this may be done
by throwing out smutty stalks by them
selves and burning them.

If that is not strong enough, add more

plication of soft coal ashes around the
roots of gooseberry of bushes is said to be a

of all the better and larger kinds of

of common half dozen a procession consisting
a or more hacks or
carriages, drawn by matched horses,

from 135 to $100, and a long retinue
of the members of some secret society,
to which the deceased belonged, headed
by a brass band, hired for the occasion
at a cost of from $30 to $50. The entire

the private funerals, often exceeds to

It is said that there are at present 497
churches, cbapels and missions of all de
nominations in the Metropolis—a gain
of 98 in the last 10 years. Of these
churches and the like, 402 are set down
as Protestant, with accommodations for
285 00 ) persons. The Episcopalians have
the most of a'l the Protestant churches
with 52,806 sittings. The
teriaus have 69 churches, with 43,241
bit tings. The Methodists have 61
churches, with 30,766 sittings.
Baptists have 48 churches, with 26,912
sittingo. The Reformed Dutch have 28
churches, with 14,986 sitings; The the
Lutherans 23, with 8,891 sitting churches, 0 .
Roman Catholics have 57
with 71,784 sittings, the largest Dumber
of any sect in the city. As it is estimated
that the present population of New
York proper is from 1,250,000 to 1,300,
000, more than three-quarters of all the
inhabitants could not get into church if
th-y should want to. But they do not
want to, obviously. If they did, plenty

to be furnished. It is asserted that not

Many of the churches are never half
full except on special occasions. On'y
the Roman Catholic edifices are likely
to be thronged at any time. This is
not a cburch-goinsr town. The working
classes, outside of the Irish and a few
Germans, do not usually attend church;
and there are a great many educated
Americans who invariably stay at home
on Sunday.

"Our experience with Alt.f.n’s Lung Balsam, for Colds

So efficient, indeed, have we found it, after repeated trials
in our family, that we have discarded all other similar
remed.es. We are satisfied that it is the best remedy fox
a'l affections of the Throat and Longs before the public,
and most cordially recommend it to those who may be af¬
