The Farmer of Mount vernon.

Washington was passionatoly fond OF a.rlcu-
ture. Its improvement was ever with him an oh
lect of pa ra noun, regard. Virginia can boas. of
few sons to whom her agriculture has been more
indebted; few who assisted IN promoting her in
ton of q more ardcnI and patronizing zeal. Tho
following account of his farming operations will
serve to exhibit the father of his country (tho
man first in war, first IN peace, and first the
hearts Of his countrymon) in his truas light.
The farm of Gen. Washington, at Mount Yer
non, continued ten thousand acres of land in one
body. equal to Is square mos. 1t was divided
into farms of convenient size, at the distance of
one, two, three, four and five miles from his man
siou house. Those farms he visited overy day
in pleasant weather, and constantly engaged
IN making experiments for the improvement of
agriculture Some idea of the cXtont of his far
ming operations may be formed from tho follow
inc fncts. In i7s7. TIC had five hundred acres in
grass, sowed six hundred bushels of oats, seven
hundred acres with wheat, and prepared much
moro for corn, barley, potatoes, beans, pcas &C.,
and one hundred and fifty acres i'll turnips. His
stock consisted of one hundred and forty horses
one hundred and twelve cows, three hundred and
thirty-fivo working oxen. heifers and steers, and
five hundred sheep. He constantly employed
two hundred and fifty hands, and kept twenty
four pows going during the whole year, whom
the earth and weather would permit. In 1856,
he slaughtered one hundred and fifty hogs, Ugh
ing e ghteen thousand fivo hundred and ninety
pounds, for the use of his family, besides provis-
ions for the of his negroes"

An Important improvement.

A native of Patterson. n. j., named Francis
McCulIy. has recently mado an important slmpli-
ficaton in the process of spinning cotton. He
has invented an improvement of the machine cal
led Throstle. which competent judges say is like
ly to work great revolution in tho
featuring business. The new process requires
less than half the power required by the ordinary
machine. takes less oil, dispenses with tho use of
ba nds, makes a smaller amount Of waste, enable
one person to attend larger number of spindles,
yet with all its economy In these several respects,
produces more yarn and Of bctter quality
The inventor has already secured patents for his
machine in England, France. Belgium, Mexico,
and this county.

The poor house at Salem, n. j., was entirely
destroyed by fire Saturday last, and the inmates
rescued with difficulty. The scene, says the
Philadelphia Sun, was one of lerror. Several
of the paupcrs, who unfortunately crazy
and chained fas; in their cells. were peculiar OBJ
iects Of connisseraton, and some Of the citizens
keepers more bold than the rest, rushed to thoir
rescue and succeeded in parting the chains which
bound them. One Of the lunatics had been bound
for the past twenty years, and was ferocious.
that IT was exceedingly dangerous for any one to
approach hlm-but his rcscuers, being impeliod
alone by sympathy for him, rushed violently into
his cell The crazy tartcd back and seemed
to be surprised; he asked what was the matter.
and being told the place on fire, he appeared
anxious to be let loose. His chains were then
broken, and he dashed off with more than Indian
agility. The other chained ones were liberated.
and all retakon and placed in the Jail.

A Miracle.

A man named Daniels, has lately published an
account of the death of Joe Smith, the Mormon
prophet, in which he says-"Whon tho life of the
Prophet being taken, light, strong,
bright, blazed between him and the corpse, that
he and the four who shot him struck
with terror and CONSERVATION. Their muskets
fell from their hands, and they stood like marble.
not having the power to move a single limb The
light something like fash of lightning, and
was much brighter than the day, that after it
had passed, it left slight darkness like a twi-
light"
We presume that Mr.. Daniels is disciple Of
Smiths and designs to mako capital out of the
marvellous event which no narrates. But he
hardly find any person of common sense who viii
believe it. Tho dcstroyers of Smith are to be con-
dcmncd for the action, for it barbarous; but
from all accounts, Smith was not great Saint
as to have miracle wrought to brighten his muir
derers.-Bah. Clipper.

The Elections.

Baltimore city, in her local elections has given a
handsome democratic majority.
GEoRGrA.-Rerurns are in sufficient to show that
Crawford, whig, is elected Governor by some 1900
majority. The Senate will have small democratic
majority and the House will be whig. The Demo-
cratic vote is very light compared with the Presiden-
tial election.
0HIo.-As was expected, Ohio has gone whig.
There is nothing to fear, however, the reasons
which operated on portion Of her democracy, will
not in all probability, exist another year. We will
take early occasion to allude to which we
think had important bearing the late election.
And here we will state, what may appear paradox
to many, that believe the State Bank Of Indiana
was one Of the causes of the triumph of whggery in
Ohio.
PENNsYLvANIA.-The triumph of Democracy in
the Old keystone State is complete. Sufficient re-
turns have been received to show the Democratic
jority to be close on to THIRTY THOUSAND !
Philadelphia county has taken right about face, and
carried every thing before it. The miserable idea
native faction, having swallowed up the larger por-
ton of the whig party, completely fared out
To such tremendous expense did they 90 to carry the
election, and to enjoy their triumph after achieving
it, that they generally, body and soul, newspa-
pers and ALL in the custody of the Sheriff They take
it much more easily than of the whig editors,
however. We have few grOanS of the latter on
our table, which will dish up occasionally.

COMMUNICATIONS.

SULLIVAN COUNTY, Oct. 10, 1915.
MEssRs. CHAPMASs MIR. JOHN II. Wilson, who
was elected last August member of the House of
Representatives from this county, has resigned his
seat, and is a candidate to FL the seat made vacant
by his resignation under the following circumstances
Mr.. Wilson had served Sheriff of the county for
four years preceding the first Monday in August last
his official term of Sheriff expired on that day. and
that day he elected member of the House of
Representatives his election has been contested-at
taken-upon the ground that he elected to the
Legislature in violation Of the 10Th section of the Sd
Article OF the constitutions of Indiana which is in
these words:
"NO person, holding any office under The authority
Of the President Of The United States, of this Stale,
militia officers ercePted shall be eligible TO seat an
ther branch Of the General Assembly, unless he resign
has office preriouS TO has election
Mr.. Wilson did reSigr ms office of Sheriff pre-
riouS to has election to the Legislature having been
elected second term to the sheriay two years pre-
vious to his election to the Legislature the rst
| Monday of August last. Quere Was Mr.. Wilson
constitutionally ineligible under the circumstances
As there is diversity of opinion among of the
prominent men of our State upon this point would il
be well to seek decision of the question: in some
proper manner! Certain it is that numerous in
stances have occurred of Sher being elected to the
Legislature under precisely similar circumstances
and contest has arisen upon that question
far known to the writer Of this. As there may be
Some other cases similar to that of Mr. Wilson, the
subject may be an important ct the present; Mr.
Wilson has thought proper TO resign as above stated
