Mints. to ,Farmers. The Tomato-4nd Its Culture. This fruit, long known as "the love apple," and said to have come from the far south, has rapidly gained favor wherever grown. It is susceptible of great improvement, though it has gener ally received less attention than most garden vegetables. While under careful culture they have been long in reaching their present state, the tomato has been a comparatively short time under cul ture, and yet, nature has done so much for it that it already holds high rank among our finest fruits of the garden.— Many medical men claim for it valua ble hygienic qualities, and the human system—that most perfect of all labora tories—has confirmed the decision. It is delicately-acid, cooling and healthful.— In hot weather our children seize the golden "love apples" and quern:l . llllth thirst, while we all use them at our ta bles. Since this fruit must be brought to perfection, why grow course, unsightly, spongy, ill-Ilavored tomatoes, when by attending to a few simple, but impor tant things, the finest qualities may be had'? A great deal might be said on varie ties; but after having tried the most popular ones tire writer pow grows " Lester's Perfected Tomatoe:." in pre ference to all others. Pruning.—As the greater part of the fruit on the tomato vine is borne near the ground it will be found that the shortening of the vines will eatise nutri tion to flow to fruit instead of making branches. • Don't be afraid to cut out all suckers and non-bearing branches, and to shorten those that wander. The writer knows that the advantages of pruning are questioned by some, but he has learned by experience, whatever may be the rutionalc of the matter, the results are in favor of rather scrPrr pruning. Krsjrinf/ Me Fruit Cban.—The fruit may he kept clean and prevented from premature decay by spreading brush, salt hay, or other such Material under the vines, or by training' them. But if the soil be light and dry this will not be necessary especially Mr a general crop. In garden culture, if it be thought best to train the vines, a simple way is to set poles twelve feet apart, the tops live feet high. Attach wires horizontally to than, which will form a cheap trellis for the vines, thus exposing them to the free action of the sun and air. The flavor of the fruit thus grown will Ire liner than that ripened on the ground.

A Wonderful Flower one of the most exquisite wonders of the sea is the Opelet, a flower resembling very much the German China Aster. It has the appearance of a large double aster, with a quantity of petals of alight green color, glossy as silk, each petal tipped with rosecolor. These lovely petals are never still, but wave about in the water. while the dower clings to the rocks. So innocent and lovely-looking, no one could suspect it of eating any thing, certainly if it did, only a bit of rainbow or a drop of dew. But those beautiful petals have other and more material work to do—to provide food for a large mouth which is cun ningly hid deep down among them. They do their duty famously, for as soon as a silly little fish comes in contact will those rosy tips, lie is struck with a poi son fatal and quick as lightning. Ile dies instantly and the beautiful arms wrap themselves about him and drag him into the greedy mouth. Then those lovely petals unclosed, float innocently on the water, just like our own water- THE LANCASTER WEEKLY INTELLIG-ENCI4 -, ,=WEDNESDAY . , JUNE 1, 1870 lily. This flower was long ago talked of, but its existenca doubted, until the last century. Now the Opelet is known to be a thing that really exists. itocal Entellignce.

'rho question for discussion On the pro gramme was talc's up— " What art' the features of a good Sabbath School, and hose can they be secured 7" Charles Rennes, Esq., was ealled On to open the discussion. He commenced by saying that the first great feature of a good Sunday School was order; the second, a unifier distribution of the library, so as not iI,IIONV children to ha n dle too many b o oks and thus came confusion :old divert atten tion ; and the third was that the Superin tendent endeavor to secure the hearty el)- operatU,ll of the teachers. The exereises were here interspersed with singing the hymn "Shall We Gather at the River." Ste v. Mr. Riemensnydor took up the subject next ; he remarked that one very good feature is the predominance of the re ligious element, many of the is/hoots having teachers who arc not Christians. 01 r. Kingsbury, of Philadelphia. was next called ;he had been in the work for fifty yoars ; still feels he has to neh to learn in this groat work ,• and a good feature is to have father,: and mother to attend and sit together with the Children in the Stleility Schools, and time encourage thous b - their examples. Bev. Mr. Rosenmiller thought that the encouraging of time was n good feature of a Sunday School. Some Superintendents were over-tedious in small matters. Singing of another verse from "Shall We Gather at the Sliver?" The second subject for .discussion was next taken up: "The Sunday School Mis sion Work in the County; its claims and best method of meeting them." Rey. Mr. Riemensnyder opened the sub ject by giving an account of his labors as Missionary the last year, and stated why it should be continued and sustained. lie established 12 new schools with ItS teachers, 459 scholars, visited and addressed 4:1 schools, distributed 174 Bibles and Testa ments, visited 331 families, traveled 204.0 miles, delivered 61 addressee, preached 33 sermons, wrote 162 mission letters, and there was $644.21 collected for the cause in the county. • Kennedy next took the floor. He said many children remained out of the Sunday Schools because they thought they were too large to be set/tilers, and too small to be teachers, and were not suffi ciently encouraged to attend the regular services of the church. • Mr. Reinochl thought more money was needed to carry forward more efficiently the Sunday School work in the county. I). S. Bare gave an account of the efforts of the committee appointed to secure means to keep the Missionary in the field. Chas. Denues, Esq. was in favor of the organization of auxiliary societies through out the county. Itev. Mr. Turner said Missionary work was emphatically needed in the county, and claims universal sympathy. If proper information was spread abroad the sympa thies of the people would surely be en listed. J. M. W. Geist urged the necessity of giving all the items of Sunday School work to the public through the secular press, A Committee was appointed to carry out the above suggestions and to adjust some feasable plan that it might be accomplished 'Revs. Mr. Riemensnyder, Robinson and Rosenmiller were appointed the Commit• tee. • The collection of last evening was an nounced to be $20.00. Questions were then read, which had been handed in for discussion. Adjourned, with doxology and bonedie- Con by Rev. Mr. Robinson. Thursday Afternoon Bession.—Opened with singing and prayer by Rev.
