the name OF Manlry, 40 being the paramoar Of
the wife. Manl-y had BEEN tried twice for the

village, Ave miles from Wianebago, he was
again On trial. The court acquitted him again,
when Leahy INSTANTLY drew his revolver, and
shut Manley dead-the ball catering bis kidneys
and passing through his b,dy Manley's blood
was not enough to satisfy such villain. and he
immediately fred upon Col. Merton, Manl-y's
lawyer. the ball hitting law bo"k under hi,

Farmers Should Read.

As this is the season for study and men.
tai improvement with farmers, it is to b.
hoped that it will be improved to the best
advantages.
Could the body of farmers iii the seve-
raj States, improve their leisure time in
the study Of the farm, and in gaining
general knowledge, greater impulse
would be given to improved agriculture
than ali the "Fairs' have done in the last
five years. 1t is true our yearly fairs
please the eye and improve the mind, and
help to keep up friendly feeling among
farmers. Yet it Isl study Of the farm by
the farmers, that leads the way to perma-
ncnt improvements. Examples from in
tcligent farmers go Il great way in intro
ducing improved methods. Yet there are
but few farmers who make improvements,
unless they arc in all respects reading and
thinking men.
Of all classes Of laboring men, farmers
have the most leisure in course Of the
year, and they ought to be the best edu.
Gated. 1t has been the practice, in what
are called Professions" for men to
spend years in close mental application to
fit themselves for their calling. And what
business is followed which requires a
more varied study than agriculture? That
it is generally carried on by scantier
supply of head-worl," / am ready to
admit. But this does not prove that it is,
or should necessarily be SO. 1t only
proves that the farmer IS willing to plod
on from year to year at I hap-hazard rate,
with less amount of knowledge of his
. business than would satisfy any other
class of men. / am often surprised, Ill
asking farmers to take an agricultural
paper to hear them reply that they would
take it, but they have not the time to read
it. In nine cases out Of ten, the plain
English of this is they have not the will
or disposition to read. The worst of all
excuses that the farmer. can plead, is that
he has not time. to read. Every individual
has time to spend we'll or i'll, as his taste
dictates. That farmer who does nothing
more than dig and dig from the beginning
to- the end of the year, lives to Il very
small purpose indeed.
There is a satisfaction found in reading
and improving the mind, which can only
