Farm, Garden and Household. Cost of Starting Ten Acres of Hop. A correspondent of the Syracuse, N. Y., Standard says : It may be inter esting as well useful to know something of the expense of hop-growing, and I will endeavor to give the cost, very nearly, for 1 have been in the habit of keeping some account of these and other farming items, and I think I can come very close to the mark, which, of course, will vary with different men and localities. The labor is on tne basis oi $1.50 per day. To 15.550 poles, c'odar, MJc, sharpen ing., 15o... $2,333 40 To six davs laving out yard, 12s 9 00 To 40 buiiliels(15 pounds per bushel) roots, say 8b. por bushel, we have 6s........

In addition to all this, a house is needed, with beds, a stove, cooking and table ware, for a family of twenty-five to forty, for use only from fifteen to twenty days, in picking time. I believe these 'aro about what . will be needed, and the prices on an average nearly correct. I have said nothing about the use of the land for the first year, or the cultivating, as the corn crop will pay this ; nor have I said anything of such tools and implements as are needed in usual farming, for these are on hand, if no hops are raised. A two-horse culti vator will be desirable, on the score of economy. The labor, cost of harvest ing, use of land, fifteen per cent, on cost of poles to make them good when worn out, ten per cent on other capital, etc., for each year, with good fair crops, will be about fifteen cents per pound. Household Notes. Eice Cakes. To make rice cakes of a superior quality beat the yolks of a dozen eggs, for nearly half an hour, with an egg-beater ; mix well with them 10 ounces of refined sugar, pulverized, put in i pouud of rice flour, a little or ange or lemon-water or brandy, the rinds of two lemons grated, then add the whites of the eggs, well beaten, and stir the whole for fifteen minutes. Put them into a pan and set them in a quick oven lor a bait an hour. Tins is a de licious cake. Sugar Gingerbread. 11 wounds of flour, 6 ounces of butter, 1 pound of sugar, 4 eggs, half a teaspoonful of sal eratus dissolved in rose-water, a table spoonful of ginger, and a nutmeg ; to be baked in a slow oven. The eggs and sugar should be beaten together, and then put into tlie flour and butter. French Custards. Boil a pint of cream witu some mace and cinnamon, and when it is cold take the yolks of four 'eggs, a little lemon-water, nutmeg and sugar to taste : mix them well and bake carefully. Pie Crust. One quart of flour, i of a pound of lard ; put in half the flour to bait t ie lard, and with, water Knead until smooth ; roll it out thin three timep, touching it each time with the lard, sprinkling it with the flour, and rolling it up to be rolled again. Nice Gingerbread. One cup mo lasses, one cup of thick, rich cream, one teaspoon Baleratus mixed with the cream, one teaspoon ginger, one well beaten egg with a little salt. Bake in a quick oven. taffy. une cup molasses, one cup sugar, two-thirds cud water, a piece of butter the size of a hickory nut. If brittle when dropped in water, pour out cn large plates ; stretch out to the thinnest while warm ; when perfectly cold Drean into squares. Application of Lime. At the Solebury Farmers' Club, there was a talk on the subject, in which Moses Eastman said " he thought as soon after harvest as possible, was the right time to apply lime, and the place on tho wheat stubble. Applied iu this way it helps the grass crop, puts the ground in good condition for corn, and does not make oats ripen unevenly, Hampton Bice had obtained the most benefit from-applying lime on the sod the winter before the corn was planted. Samuel H. Bice had applied from 700 to 1,'JOO bushels per year for 40 years. on a farm of 80 acres. It had almost made his farm, but for a few years past it bad not been much benehted by it, Wallace Paxson thought the man hit it who said " get it on, never mind where, but get it on." Henry Wildman had applied a handful of -air slaked lime to the hill of corn after it was up, with marked benefit. He had also made mixture consisting of 50 bushels of lime, 10 bushels of plaster and 6 bush els of salt dissolved the salt and slaked the lime with the brine. He sowed the mixture on 12 acres of grass in the spring, and had a fine crop on land poorly set. How to Preserve Flowers. Take a deep plate, into which pour a quantity of clean water. Set a vase of flowers upon the plate, and over the plate set a bell glass with its rim in the water. The air that surrounds the flow. ers being confined beneath the bell glass, is constantly moist with water, that rises into it in the . form of vapor. As fast as the water becomes condensed, it runs down the side of the bell glass into the dish ; and if means be taken to enclose the water on the outside of the bell glass, so as to prevent it evap orating into the air of the sitting room, the atmosphere around the flowers is continually damp, The plan is desig nated the " Hopean apparatus," The experiment may be tried on a small .oale by inverting a tumbler oyer a rosebud in a 6aucer of water. A Thought fob Cigar-Smokers. A good cigar costs on an average 10 cents; a moderate smoker uses three a day. Three cigars a day, at 10 cents apiece, amount in a year to $109 50, a sum sufficient to purchase the nucleus of a fine library. Placed at interest at six per cent, it would amount in six years to over $150. Thus invested it does not destroy an otherwise sweet breath, waste nervous energy, perfume the family or personal wardrobe, nor create an appetite for stimulus which leads to indulgence in strong drink. SUMMARY OF NEWS, The Roman Catholics of New Brunswick are moving strongly for separate schools, and have prepared an address lo the Queen on the sub ject In Australia as in California, gold mines are being discovered almost as rich as those which tomptod the plonoers a quarter of aoonlnry ago The total ylold of the toe crop Maine for the present season, including old ice on hand, cannot be reckoned short of 1,600,000 tons, and It may possibly reach 2,000. 000 tons. Of this amount probably 300,000 have been sold or bargained for at f .1 per ton, or a total of nearly 1, 000,000 A. story of brutality toward a child was related In a Now Orleans police court. Lurry Joseph was ar. ralgnod for 111-troatment of her step-son, a boy of eleven, very small for his ago. Bho had tortured him oruolly ; among other expedients compelling him to kuool upon hot bricks until his knoes became roasted. While amply feed ing hor own children, bIio gave the stop-son nothing, and he had to beg. The boy was constantly asking for food when in court, and quickly devoured a loaf of bread. . . .Statistics of marriages in Ohio, since I860, show a remark able decline iu matrimony. According to the published figures of each year, since I860, it is Bhown in that year there was one marriage to every eighty-two of population. In 1873 the proportion was one marriage to one hundred and eighten of the population In reply to a resolution of the U. 8. Committee on Bank ing and Currency, Comptroller Knox says that the amount of the 354,000,000 of bank circu' lation remaining unissued on .Nov. 1 was 5,049, 051. Since then about one-fourth of the amount has been issued to banks which had perfected their organizations, leaving at this date about $4,000,000 unissued While Christian Ehmann, and an employee, name unknown, or Philadelphia, were crossing the Delaware river at Kiukara, in a skiff, it upset and both were drowned At a meeting of the Permanent Committee of the French As sembly, tho Minister of the Marine announced that a rigid investigation in the case 'of the Bteamship Amerique had been ordered. In order to equalize tho currency the United States Controller Bays it will be necessary to withdraw circulation from tho States which are iu excess, as follows : Maine, about $729,000 : Vermont, about 8755,000; Massachusetts, about $15,783,000; Rhode Island, about $2,808,000; Connecticut, about $3,025,000; New York, about $500,000; Pennsylvania, about. $1,400,000. Total, $25,000,000 A Bcston man who had injured his heel, took it into his head the other day that his wife had bewitched the wound and it was necessary for him to shed some of her blood before he could get well, So he attacked her with a razor and nearly lulled her Of 136 estimates of the cotton crop seventy-three were opened at the Cotton Exchange in Mem phis. The highest was 4,287,000 bales and the lowest 3,891,000, average 4,132,000 There are about three hundred and fifty churches in New York, with sittings for nearly or quite three hundred thousand people Business is entirely prostrated in llayti, and the rainy season has thus far proved very unhealthy, tho mortality among the natives from fevor being very large. Added to this, a revolution with threatened bloodshed is expected. Dismissing the Undertakers.

Holmes, George Liorillard, Henry btone, James W. S. Arnold, Francis M. Weld, and Dr, Samuel Sexton. Prof. Henry Stone presided. Mr. Edward A. Caswell, the Secre tary, read the report of the Committee on Organization. They proposed a stock company, which shall bind itself to dispose of the bodies of the company by cremation. The secretary said that it was impossible to make it absolutely obligatory on any member to bo cre mated, as a person after death would have little to say. The company purpose to dispose of bodies by cremation at as near cost as possible. At a meeting of eminent physicians the subject was discussed and it was thought mat the expense would be irom sd to S3 for each bodv, The company, the Secretary thought, would be able to erect a suitable lur nace, with all the necessary appliances on the outskirts of the city for about 810,000. Several models of furnaces, he added, would soon be exhibited to the society for their selection. Care would bo taken not to dispose of a body which had come to its death through unnatural causes. iJost mortems, if thought necessary, would be made, and physician s' and undert akers' certificates. as now required, would always have to be lUlillDUW, IHIUCO Ul L lit; UrllU WUU1U be at the disposal of the friends or rela tives, who might choose to bury them ana erect a monument. Francis C. Bowman, of the law com mittee, reported that after a careful in. vestigation they were of opinion that there was nothing to prevent them from carrying out the objects of the society, A public meeting is soon to be held in which eminent speakers will be heard upon cremation. JJr. Barnard, of Col umbia College, Prof. Seeley, Mr. Crof ton, Rev. Dr. O. B. Frothingham, James n. uwignt, and others delivered, ad aresses. Many more signitures were added to the list of members. Too Much for Him. Horace Greeley used to affirm that newspaper men were the most patient people, as a class, on the earth, and he was not far from right, though there are times when patience ceases to be a virtue with the most enduring. Nearly everybody in the western part of Michi gan knows Burr, who used to start a newspaper about once a month the year round, generally bringing them out in Grand Rapids, but sometimes making a flying trip to other points. Burr could stand to be told that he lied about circulation, was on the fence as a politician, and that he didn't know anything about publishing. a paper; and when men threatened to sue or thrash him he only smiled a sad smile and wished that mankind wouldn't get excited. During a religious revival at Grand Bapids, Burr was converted, and it frequently happened that religious people called at Lis office to talk with' him. One day a minister came in and, after talking a while, he proposed prayer. He was in the act of kneeling, when bis foot struck one of the outside forms, which was leaning against a leg of the stone, ready to be lifted up, and over it went, making a bushel of " pi." Burr looked at the ruin wrought, thought of the two weeks of overwork, and com menced taking oB his coat, saying : "I'm trying to be a Christian and set a good example, but rat my buttons if I can't lick you in just two minutes I" The clergyman backed down stairs in no time, dodging the lye-brush on, the way, and Burr backslid at once, XLHId CONGRESS . SENATE. The House bill for the relief of persons differing by the overflow In tbe Mississippi river was reported in the Senate and passed, with an amendment providing that the act shall expire on Sept. 1, 1874. when tne Louisville and Portland canal Bill was discussed It was shown that the U. S. Government held 9,995 out of the 10,000 Bharcs in t lie canal. The Honato considered the bill to enable the MsmwnitoH, from liussia. to effeot a perma nent settlement on publio lands of the United rUatoa. Mr. llainsoy, of Minn., submitted an amondmont providing that In the 9th section of tho bill the aggregate of lands held under declaration statements shall not at any one time exceed 800,000 acres, ins tend of 600,000, as rnportod by the committee. Nor Bhall any one filing embrace more than 50,000 acres, instead of 100,000. Agreed to. Mr. Ilamsoy also sub mitted an amendment to the 2d section of the bill providing that location micht also be made upon certain Indian lands iu Minnesota, hold In trust by tne Uovernmeut, not exceeding 10" acres for each member of the society. Agreed to. The Senate passed the bill amendatory of tho act to provide internal revenue to support the Government to pay the interest on the pnblio debt, and for other purposes, approved June 30, 18C4. It provides that no legal document or paper required by law to be stamped whicli waa made, signed or issued in the Southern mates prior to the 1st of July, 18U5, shall be deemed or held as invalid and of no effect, by reason of the failure to impose thereon the re quired Btamp. uavis, oi w. v introduced a bin to reauce the tax on the circulation of State banks to an amount equal to that paid by national banks. He said the tax on national bank circulation was one per cent., and that on State bank cir culation ten per cent. , which practically pro vented any circulation of the latter class, lie saw no res.HOn why national banks should have an advantage over mate banks ten to one. Mr. tttewart, or Nov., introduced a bill to prohibit national banks from lending money on monoy as security and for other purposes. De ferred to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Windom, from the Committee on Com merce and lloutes, in presenting their report, Delivered a long speecn. Me said mat me vaiue of commodities moved by railroads in 1872 was over 10,000.000,000, for which their gross re ceipts were $473,241,055, and yet the facilities were inadequate to supply the demand, con sequently agriculture is paralyzed and labor interests languish. The various routes for carrying Western produce to the seaboard were spoken of in .detail, and the committee's ob servations and conclusions stated. Mr. Edmunds, of Vt., introduced, by request, bill to provide for a commission upon the subject of postal telegraphy. Referred to the Committee on lJost Ulhces and 1'ost itoaas. The Chairman of the Judiciarv Committee reported unfavorably on the bills to relievo the political disabilities of J. W. Dennett of Mary land, John Forsyth of Alabama, George Pickett of Virginia, David A. Telfair, of North Caro lina, and liaphael Scmmes of Alabama. Most of these bills did not have the necessary peti tions from the parties named, and the latter one tbe committee was not disposed to consider favorably. However, the committee was dis charged from their further consideration. Tne veto meBsace of the l'resideut of the Finance bill was considered, and tho Chair an nounced that the Finance bill was before the Senate, and the question was. Should it pass, notwithstanding tho President's objections ? Upon this question the Constitution required that the vote should be taken by yeas and nays. No one taking the floor, the roll was called, and the vote resulted as followB : Yeas. Messrs. Allison. Boqxj. Doreman.

Two-thirds not votwu in tne amrmative. the biu was lose ROUSE. Mr. Hurlbut, of 111., submitted a report on cue bin to cnarter a double track freight rail way company from tidewater on the Atlantic to uouncil mulls on the Missouri river, and to limit the rateB of freight thereon. The report recites the various features of the existing railroad system, and Bays that the company proposing to build this great freight railroad will accept the low rates of freight agreed upon by the committee 15 cents a bushel to Chicago, 18 cents to St. Louis, Ac. The com pany asks the Government to guarautee its 5 per cent, bonds at the rate ei $2U,uuu a mue : and while the committee is not in favor of rail road subsidies, it thinks proper that tho subject should be fairly submitted to the consideration of the American people. It therefore reports a bill without any recommendation. Ordered to be recommitted and printed. Mr. Southard, of Ohio, offered a resolution instructing the Committee on Banking and Cur rency to inquire and report the reasons why the zo,uuu,ouu or national Dank currency, author ized to be withdrawn from the States having more than their proportion, has not been with drawn and distributed under the provisions of the act of the 12th of July, 1870, and what further legislation is necessary to secure that result. Mr. Hereford, of W. Va., introduced a bill providing that the tax on State banks shall not be other or greater than the tax on national banks. Bills were introduced repealing all statutes which forfeit widows' pensions for second mar riage ; to permit parties to testify in their own defense in United States courts ; to provide a freo system of national banking and for the. resumption of specie payments; to facilitate the resumption of specie payments, and to prevent fluctuations iu the value of United States notes ; repealing all laws imposing a tax on State banks ; to impose a tax of five per cent, on all incomes of individuals and corpora tions exceeding $5,000 ; declaring it oppressive to impose additional taxation, and inexpedient to retrench on necessary appropriations already made iu the interests of commerce, and pro viding as a measure of temporary relief for the issue of au additional fifty millions of legal tender notes. Mr. Negley, of Penn., asked leave to offer a resolution instructing the Committee on Mili tary Affairs to prepare and report a bill to amend the act of the 8th of June, 1872, relative to soldiers' and sailors' homesteads, so as to allow honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, their widows and orphan children to acquire homesteads on the public lands, without being required to commence settlement and improve ment. Tbe amendment to the appropriation bill striking out the paragraph requiring the de portment clerks to work seven hours a day instead of six was struck out. A number of amendments were made to the bill and it passed. A Breach of rromise Case. A Liverpool eotton-broker has recent ly been cast in 2,000 damages for breach of promise of marriage. In a rather unpleasant interview with the father of the young lady he seemed to have been subjected to a rigorous ex amination as to his reasons for break ing the engagement. He had nothing to allege against the girl's character or disposition. She had given hiru no cause for jealousy. He was not entan gled with anybody else. But there waa one grave objection to the match : "I have discovered," said he, "that she does not take a sufficiently lively interest in cricket." Certainly this, was a very unfortunate dissimilarity of tastes, yet it does not seem to us essen tial to the happiness of married life that two hearts should beat as one even at the sight of the bat. Croquet of course would be a different thing ; but the strictly masculine games, like cricket and draw-poker, hardly demand the active co-operation of a wifo. . The following remedy for choked cat tle has never failed when tried : A tea cupful of soft soap dissolved in a pint or a little more of warm water, and poured down the throat of the choked animal. As soon as administered, the apple or potato is instantly thrown up on passing the band npoq and along the throat. Statistics show that of the thousands who die annually, a large proportion are destroyed, not by old age, or by the natural exhaustion of vitality, but through intemperanoe, or disregard either on the part of the sutierer, or nis parents, of the simplest laws of nature. Such being the ease and figures can not misrepresent facts the conclusion is that were the causes of intemperanoe, its kindred vices, and a disregard of natural laws, removed, the average length of the human life-time would be extended proportionately. What agent most rapidly, harmlessly and certainly will eradicate these vices, or the ten dency to them, is the question which has been as thoroughly and persistent ly agitated as has the search for the I'mlosopher s stone. Tne aiscovery has been made bv Dr. Joseph Walker, whose widely known ViNKoAn Bitters are accomnlishins wonders which the old fogv doctors never dreamed of. Try them and judge for yourself, as tnou sands are doing all over the country. Com. A Haunted Murderer, An old upholsterer was barbarously murdered, some months ago, in his apartment in Paris J he was found with his skull open, the neck severed with a razor, and a mattress over the remains. The murderer carried off money and railway sorip. He has just been arrest ed and has made a full confession. After the crime he entered a restaurant, ordered oysters, and found a clot of his victim's blood had dropped on them ; he rose and took the train to Brussels, disposed of the scrip, but the old man with his oleft skull haunted him ; he believed it interposed in all his doings; was the first to occupy his chair, his pillow : when he washed he imagined it was in the old man s blood : . it was only his figure he saw at the theatre ; he tried to read, but he felt be was ever perusing an account of the crime ; every Soster he concluded to ba a reward for is apprehension ; in no manner could he shake Banquo off. Bronchitis. This Is an irritation or inflammation of the bronchial tubes which carry Ihe air we breathe into tho lungs. It arises from a cold settled in the throat, from Catarrh extending to these parts, irom Bcroiuious auccuons, ana from severe nse of the voice. The irritation from this latter cause commences in the larynx and giuiun, wnicn are tne organs or tne voice, and, extending downwards, produces hoarseness, coughing, and spitting mucous matter, some times mixed with blood . It is chiefly danger ous from its tendency to spread into the lungs, and terminate iu consumption. It is in the cure of severe and obstinate cases of this dis ease that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery has achieved unparalleled success, and won tne loudest praise from all who have used it.

It sparkles like a diamond, and is radiant with all the oolors of the rainbow, al though it lives in the mud at the bot tom of the ocean. It should not have been called a mouse, for it is larger than a rat. It is covered with scales that run np and down as it breathes, and it glitters like gold shining through a fleoky down, from which fine silky bristles wave that constantly change from one brilliant tint to another, so that, as Ouvier, the naturalist, says, the plumage of the humming-bird is not more beautiful.

Walker's California Vin egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, ma5e chiefly from the na tive herbfl fiotmil on the lower ranges oi the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the nse of Alcohol. Tbe question Is almost daily asked, "What is the cause of tha nnparalleled success of Vinegar Bit tees t" Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, nnd the patient re. covers his health. They are the grea blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before Is t"S history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Yineoar Bitters in healing the ! i : i, ; - rt rnk n,. Bica oi every uiHeast, mumo jnn w. - "jj are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonio, relieving Gongestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. Tho properties of D. walker's Vinegar Bittbcs aro Aperient, Diaphorotio, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretio, Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Altorar tive. and Anti-Bilioua Grateful TiioiisuihiS proclaim Vis EOAK Bitti.ks tlio liut wonderful In vigorant that ever sustuiucJ the sinking System. lVo Person enn take those Bitter according to directions, and remain long unwoll, provided their I ones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other meauB, and vital rgaus wasted beyond repair. Bilious. Remittent and Inter mittent Fevers, which are so preva lent in the valleys of our great rivera throughout tho United States, espeeiaU? those of tho Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Red, Colorado, lirazos, Kio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ko anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon these various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for tho purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as thov will oneedily remove the dark- colored viscid matter with which tha bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of tho live! and generally restoring tho healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the foody against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vikesab Bitters. JNo epidemic can taiio noia of a system thus fore-armed. DvsneDSia or indigestion. Head ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palplta tation ofthe Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, fain in tne region ot tuo mo neys, and a hundred other painful symp toms, are tne ousprings.oi uyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy r 'ivertise ment.

In these, as in all other constitutional Dis eases, walker's vinegar Bitters have) shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism. Gout, Bilious, llemit tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases aro caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. Persons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such aa Plumbers, Type-setters, (Jolu-beuters, and Miners, ns they advance in life, are subject to paralysis oi tne uowoia. to guard apainst this, take a dose of Walkk&'b Vnr- egau Hitters occasionally. i or Miln Diseases, Eruptions, Tet ter, Salt-Khcum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, rustmes, uoiis, carbuncles, King-worms, Scald-head, Soro Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Tliscolorations of tho Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system iu a short time- by the use oi mese ititters.
