The following statistics of the Good Ternplars of the United States are taken from the annual report of the Seeretary of the Grand Lodge, lately in session in Detroit: The net increase of the Order is reported at 1,500 lodges and 125,000 members. It is expected that a, grand lodge will. be at once organized in Ne braska. Six lodges have been organized in Pew Jersey since the last session, and ground has been broken in Texas and Virginia. Application for a charter for a lodge in Memphis, Tenn., was made six months ago, but nothing more has been done. The lodge at Nashville is steadily gaining ground. There are five lodges (all military) in New Mexico, numbering 266 members. AGE or MasoNaY.—From a recent statement'in a Moscow paper, it 'seems that St; John's Lodge No: 3, of that city, has recently celebrated the, 809th anni versary of its existence, it having been erected by charter from Rini , Malcolm, in 1057. We should like to see the mus ter roll of that Lodge, beginning more. than eight centuriesago,and running along with the ages to the present time. What kings and kingdoms have risen and fallen since the gravel was first sounded in its East. How the -world has changed, and what progress has been made in science_ and art. Eight hundred years is the lifetime of a Lodge. ON M. Greeley's Visit to Richmond, to become one of the. bail for Jefferson Da vis, a newspaper of that city says that it is the first visit he has paid to. that city for thirty-one years. In 1836, he passed through Richmond, on his way to War 'rentou:North Carolina, for the 'purpose of being united iu matrimony to.a lady, a schoolmistress, born in the North, but then engaged in teaching in that place. He was married by a Richmond clergy man; and on Sunday last, Mr. Greeley heard this clergyman preach - 1h Richmond, and renewed an acquaintance begairso many years ago.

There are some drawbacks reported in certain sections of Ohio, 'Michigan, Illi nois, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Texas and Kansas. In some of these sections the amount of wheat sown was limited on account of the wet fall; some was winter killed; some injured by the alternate freezing and thawing in March; and in some counties of Kansas the giain has been destroyed by grasshoppers. To make up for this loss, some correspon dents report au extraordinary crop—in some instances double the' - usual quanti ty. - The Pacific coast forms. no excep tion to the general expression. 3, „ 13 Ore gon the winter has been remarkably favorable, and all the growirig, crops are in splendid condition.. Hints to Horse-Keepers. Never febd grain or give water to a horse when warm from exercise. Sweat is not always a sign of warmth; place the hand on the chest for a test. Water„,- given after a meal is safer than to give it before Never drive fast or draw them hard immediately after given food or drink. Never drive faster than a walk with heavy loads. Do not let horses stand long in the stable at any time in the year, without- exercislvg Feed regularly, and in quality accord ing to the appetite of the animal and the labor it performs. Do not drive or work long in storms. Do not let horses stand long in the stable cased in boots of dried mud and coati of matted hair. Groom them. At all times in the year make your horses comfortable when tied in the stable. They cannot help themselves there. Teach your horses to trust and have confidence in you rather than fear. VERMIN IN SUGAR.-S. F. Smith, M. D., writes to the Cincinnati Gazette to say that a great number of living animals are to be found in a 'spoonful of some kinds of sugar, especially Porto Rico. He says the best way to see them is to put a spoonful of sugar into a saucer of cold coffee, and set the saucer on a table near the window, on the side of the house from the suu, then put the face near the saucer and look across it towards the window, and you will see them moving all over the top of the coffee. To MAKE GOOD YEAST--Take a doz en large potatoes, a - pint of hops boiled in a gallon of , water, mash the' potatoeswell, add a teacupful of sugar and one of salt, one pint of yeast. Let it' rise a day, then put it in a jug and cork it loosely ; put about half a pint to a gallon of bread raisin _. • MAI BracK.
