that ''words are things the agents who
have created greater things, were men of
fewest words. Washington could not have
made an Grafton to save his life. and JEFF

pendence, had but small power of think

force ofgrand imPassioned speech; we hold
that utterance IS a sublime faculty, that it
can set the brain on fire, and the heart in
fame; but TO guide a nation, when that
has reached lis climax of excitement, the
finest utterance Will be feeble. 1t was

Hints 10 BrOIller Farmers.

Friends, buy nothing that you can prof
itably produce yourself. If you find
your means restricted and not sufficiently
able to supply all your necessary wants,
extend your system of culture, and do not
stop until it embraces all those little mat
ters that enter into the consumption of
your family. Enlightened economy, state
and personal pride, all occur, says some
one, in indicating that a farmer should
never go abroad for the necessaries and
comforts of life, so long as he possesses
the ability TO produce them for himself;
for every dollar sent from the farm for
such purpose, is reckless waste of
means, as the necessary consequence Is,
that, 10 the amount Of It's value, Ii tends to
impoverlsh the producer, or enrich 4
third party who had no agency in lis pro-
duclion, and who from the remoteness of
his local position, and has no identity
of interest in or affinity of feeling with,
the persons whom he has thus, in q
measure, rendered tributary to his enrich
ment.
Always endeavor 10 secure good tools.
This is of paramount importance. No
man can work contentedly, or perform his
work successfully, with imperfect imple-
ments. Il often costs more to keep poor
axe, or plough, or scythe IN order, during
that particular portion OF the year when lis
assistance is most required, than It would
to purchase new one. 1t is at best,
but poor economy, that which requires
us to earn one dollar at the expense of

of the numbers he noticed a receipt for the
cure of certain disease common to swine
and by the ravages, Of which he had, in
previous years, lost several animals with
out applying or attempting 20 apply, any
remedy, having always been induced TO
regard the disease in question, as one
wholly incurable- A friend of his, had at
that time fine porker suffering from the
attack, and apparently III the last stages
of ;he same disease. The recipe was
communicated 10 him, the prescribed med

this, he asserted, would in all proba bility,

Ii you have superior COW, sheep, mare

much importance to 4 few extra shillings
or collars, as to let il be the means of de-

worthless one. Remember that good arti-
cles are cheapest in the end. Poor purcha-
ses never realize ones expectation and are
source of never-ending perplexity and

THE TORCH OF THE INcENDIARY. - Late on
Tuesday a missile was found in the yard of M.
White & Co.'s Paneing mills on the New Basin,
which was evidently intended to fire the premises.
1t consisted of a large stone to which was bound
bunch of matches, with a slow match attached.
The latter had been ignited, but fortunately had
become extinguished before it reached the large
bed of shavings in which it was thrown. On
Tuesday night the police formed a patrol and
guarded the mill and yard Capt. Forno informs
us that the villains were the alert and that the
gas light at the corner was put out by them, but
taking the alarm from some cause they gave up the
attempt.
This discovery leaves no doubt that the recent
fires were caused BY missiles of this kind and also
corroborates the statements made by others in re-
ference to their origin. 1t is now rendered impera
tive on our authorities to adopt every measure of
precauion within their power. The reward of
$500 offered by Mayor Crossman, is one step to-
ward this, but an efficient patrol should be imme-
diately organized besides the corps of Fire Police
retained by the Insurance Companies. The torch
of the incendiary has been applied with success
which is an earnest of future operations, and the
bold ate Bpt frustrated in the present instance is
warning that should not be disregarded. Property
to the amount of half a million depended upon the
Pickering match which was so well applied and
had the material fully ignited we should, without
doubt, have been called to record another terrible
conhagration. ....
