Highly Important TO Farmers
NEWLY INVENTED AND HIGHLY IN
PROVED PLOUGHS.

FEItIE subscribers give notice that they have COM

PLOUGHS invented and improved by John Moore
3D. and Joseph Mason. The business will be car
red on under the firm of Moore, Mason, Gilman
~ Co. The proprietors have furnished themselves
with the best of materials and determined that
their ploughs shall be equal in style and quality 10
any made in the country. These ploughs the sub
scrbers believe to be in several important respects
decidedly superior to any others now In use. lhey
are so constituted to turn the turrow smootner
ond even without breaking, and will require much
less team than the plonghs in common use The
share is so attached that it be easily removed
and another put on, by turning one screw lheie
is also shoe the land side of the plough winch
when worn can easily be replaced by new one
which will serve to make the ploughs much more
durable. The propretors not wishing 10 pay tor

datious from persons who have witnessed the oper-
alton of these ploughs Said ploughs were first pre-
scented TO the public at the CALEDONIA County Cat
tie Fair holden at St. Johnsbury the 18th day of
October 1887 when, after a fair trial with several
other ploughs which were presented, the COMMITTEE

From the Ohio State Journal.

IMPRISONMENT FOR BT.--Eighteen
years ago, a distinguished member of the
late Assembly, introduced proposition
for the abolishment Of Imprisonment for
Debt. The measure was at the time
unsuccessful. Since, it has been re-
peatedly brought forward, but with like
result, until the present winter. 1t was
left for the Wing General Assembly Of
'3s, to consummate the freedom of man
within the territorial limits of Ohio, by
solemnly enacting that poverty should no
longer be taken and deemed crime,
and that imprisonment for debt should
never more be known to our courts Of
justice. By wise provision Of our fa-
theirs, African slavery was forever ban
ished the free soil Of Ohio, and il but re-
NAMED 10 take from those who enjoyed
the luxuries Of life, the power to restfrom
the poor debtor, the liberty which was
sustenance to his wife and children, and
health, strength, and happiness to him
self, TO render this State as free and
equal as any spot ofearth upon the hab-
liable globe. This great and desired
end has been accomplished by the law
|ofthe late assembly. That law breabs
the baisand bolts, and levels in the dust
the prison walls, which have heretofore
existed q reproach TO our Justice and q
terror TO the honest poor man. Had we
this act alone to appeal to as anevidence
Of the wisdom and humanity Of the | g
gislature of'3S, it would suffice to rem
der il over memorable. The late ses-
sion will be hailed by all as a second era
Of independence. The law 10 abolish
imprisonment for debt win ever be re-
|garded as the poor mans protection. Ii
IS emphatically the poor man's la,C.

not provided means for The thorough ed
ucation Of the humblest citizens, had it
not placed within the reach Of all, that
intellectual culture which alone fits man
to be his own master, and shield his lber-
ty against the assaults Of the designing
and ambitious. With views somewhat
similar to these, thelate Assembly es-
tablished system Of Common Schools,
on a scale which at once attest their Ii
beral and enlarged policy, and their con-
fidence in the spirit and intelligence OF
the People Of Ohio. By the law Of the
last session, half million dollars is APP
propriated annually to the education OF
that generation upon whose stability and
enlightened patriotism will mainly de-
pend the safety Of Republican America.
The act was OF the noblest kind, and it
will aid in coming years to mark the
Wing Assembly of f'3s as pre.eminent
in the history Of the legislation Of the
State. This law, too, is the poor mans
ldw. @ a
Misfortunes often strike down the
most prosperous, and the laws to which
we have referred secure to the rich and
boor certain immunity from personal
seizure, and to their children, the price,
less benefits of education.

PAYMENTS ON THE CANAL.--Fou

PAYMENTS ON THE CANAL.--Four
months have now elapsed since any pay
ments have been made to the contract
ors upon the line of the Wabash and
Erie Canal. This is not right. On all
the other public works of the State, pay
ments have heretofore been made every
month, and contractors have, from this
practice, been induced to expect their
estimates and payments at regular peri
ods, and it is a serious loss to them to be
disappointed. With us, the injury has
been very great. Promise after prom
Use has been made, and many times have
been set, but no payments made. Con-
tractors have been forced to make loans
Of paper from the irresponsible banks Of
Michigan, and our section is flooded
with useless paper as the consequence,
and a state Of unparalleled distress to
the business man and to the laborer, has
come upon us. The poor can purchase
no provisions with the trash that their
necessities have compelled them to re-
ceive, and the men Of business have
been obliged to suspend operations en-
tirely. There can be no good reason
for such a state Of affairs. The State
Of Ohio is rich; her stocks are at pre-
MUM, and she has only to take proper
measures to raise any amount Of money,
and it is but justice that she should be
punctual and regular to her creditors.
The time no,o set for the estimates is
the first day Of May, or at least such is
the report.
