 apartments eminently contributes to the presciva- 

 tion of healtti : hence we would recommend the 

 proprietors of cottages, to enjoin their tenants

 any other, and must be employed as soon as pos-

Employment of Bones as Manure. — The Chcva- 

 er Masclet has addressed a letter to M. Matthieu 

 e Dombasle on this subject, stating how much 

 ic was struck with the advantages of manuring 



ith bones, in a tour lie lately made in Scotland. 

 le found them equally effective on sandy and 

 layey soils, and that their benefit was felt for 

 riirty years. On humid and calcareous soils they 

 re of little use ; but on grass-lands tliey arc very 

 eneficial.

Loiter;/ Business. — The selling of lottery tick- 

 ets is completely cut up in the city. When the 

 now law went into operation, about thirty licenses 

 were taken out, producing a sum to the chariiable 

 institutions of about $7,500. Since, however, the 

 business has bceu so dull, that several have shut 

 «p shop pulled down their signs, and betaken 

 themselves to. other occupati:)ns. Some of the 

 most ancient of lottery vcniers sell two or three 

 tickets a week and some a,? many as half a dozen. 

 Before next spring, the whole lot of lottery deal- 

 ers v.iil be reduced to a handful. [Albany Argus.]
