TKHI*UHA!\CK FXI'KKIMENT. THE GOTHENBURG SYSTEM TO BE TRIED IN ENGLAND. -■ ' ■■■■ " ii ... An experiment is to bo tried in Birt miugham, EugluuU, wbiob will a ouee engage the attention of all per sous Interested in temperauoe. The Council of that oity, by a vote of 40 to 10 has decided that it is desira ble for the municipality to obtain the requisite power !t •‘acquire, on payment of a fair compensation to be fixed by Parliament, ail existing interest in the retail sale of intoxica ting drinks in the city, and thereaf ter, if it sees fit, .to carry on the trade for the convenience and -on behalf of the inhabitants, but so that do individual shall any Eecuniary Interest in, or derive any enedt from the sale.” The ex[*eri ment is substantially that which has been put in operatiou in Gothenburg, Sweden, where the town controls the sole of liquor, dictates where it shall be sold, who shall sell it, and at what prices, and thus becomes re sponsible for the condition of the people so far as sobriety is conceru- Io Gothenburg it is claimed by the abvocates of the system that it has worked well and it is stated that intemperance has been materially reduced. This statement, however, is decidedly controverted by official reports. In letters from our Consul at Stockholm to the State Depart ment numerous citatious are made from medical authorities on this very district of Gothenburg, testifying to the effect of intemperance as the cause of puaperisrn. The universal testimonial is to the effect that in temperance has steadily increased, and that the laboring classes devote a large pert of their wages to the purchase uf intoxicating drinks. Since the passage of the motion in Birmigbum numerous criticisms of the desirability and feasibility of the plan have been made the ablest, per haps, by Mr. Lowe, member of Par liament, In an artiole contributed to the January number of the Fort ngihtlg, Review. He bases his ob jections to the experiment, first, upon the immense expenses at which the experiment is to be tried, amount ing iu the case of Birmingham to nearly a million pounds sterling nec essary to compensate the dealers whose license are to be extinguish ed. Second, upon the great danger of corruption in the vast amount of patronage which the operation of the scheme would throw into the hands of municipalities, upon which he says very pertinently : "The Birm ingham Town Council are cuttiug out for themselves an enormous amount of patronage. As the one publican of the town they will have some thousands of lucrative places to give away, aud to give away to persons who will necessarily become their own constituents aud the elec tors of the boroughs. Are they quite sure of their own virtue? Aud if a long and unvaried experience has made them secure on that; point, ean they answer with equal coufi deuce for those who may come after them? Have they no fear that their well-meaut endeavors to prevent Birmingbam from becoming a city of drunkenness mayYesult in turning It into a hot-bed of corruption? Burdened by Debt. A BROOKLYN CHURCH COUNCIL TO ADVISE A STRUGGLING CONGREGATION WHAT TO DO. Tne Council of Congregational Churches, called to give advice to the Puritan Church, Brooklyn, convened yesterday. The resignation of the ltev. Cbas. Hall Everest, who accep ted a call to Plymouth Church iu Chicago, was read and the church’s acceptance thereto. The council ap proved of the resignation. The other topic was the church’s financial difficulties. The architect who planned the church put its cost at $40,000. It was built iu the time of the war by day’s work aud cost over SIOO,OOO. The church committee explained to the couucil that, on the Ist of Eebcuary they were $93,700 iu debt, that foreclosure preceding had begun under the first mortgage of $40,000. Besides this incumbrance there was a second mortgage of $20,- 000, then a chattel mortgage of $9,000 on the organ and furniture, and a Boating debt of about $20,000. The church, was behind in its current ex penses, its salaries aud its city assess ments. There was not the slightest hope that they could pay their obli gations. The question troubling them was whether the individual property of the church members must go with the church property to pay the debt, or whether the relin quishing of all the property to the creditors discharged them. It was further explained that the trustees of the church had, when the mortgages were execated, signed the bonds for full amount, and they, of course, must be held liable for the de ficiency arising under foreclosure. One of the church members thought that if the costly building was entire ly off the ground they could get more money for the lots than for all together. After much discussion the couhcel, by resolution, advised the church and society to relinquish their entire church property aud lots to their creditors. They further advised the disbaodiDg of the society as a legal corporation as soon as this is done, but recommend the church by all means to oontiuue, under such new arrangement as may give promise of success, and in view of the irnpor tance-of the field of labor about it, they reoocnmeod it to secure anew place of worship at once.—Sun. Loving and Hating. —“lt you love love more. If you hate hating less. Life is too short to spend in haling any one. Why war against a mortal who is going the same road with us? Why not expand the flower of life and happiness by learn ing to love by teaching those who are near and dear the beautiful lesson? Your hands may be hard, but your heart need not be.- Yourform may be bent and ugly, but do you know that the most beautiful flowers often grow in the most rugged, unshelter ed places? The palace lor care, the cottage for love. Not that there is no love in a mansion; but somehow, if we are careful, business will crowd ali there is of beamy out of the heart. This is why God has given us the Sabbath and Saturday night that we may leave business in the office and have a heart cleansing.” A Queer Fall in Church.— There was a sudden sensation in an Oakland church on a late Sunday. It appears that a young lady member of the choir became so anxious to examine a certain exaspera tingly pretty bonnet in a pew back under the organ loft, she lost her balance and turned r sommersault down upon the un suspecting congregation. The minister had only reached “tenthly,” when he was shocked by a dissolving view of stripped stockings; and the millionaire underneath had just selected his smaliest coin for the heathern, when a pair ol two inch heels struck him in the back of the neck.-Pitts burg Gazette.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribute, by the wel known agriculturist, Solon ltobinson: All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil ia loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in which deposits ol peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover tbo cause of this continued fertility. The whole country 1* a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidence* of calcareous substances, geueraliy in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia ry formation; and this rnarly substance is scattered all through the soil, iu a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easilv assimilated by such plants as the farmer desire* to cultivate.
