Busiaess.-Our merchants and mechanics
all appear to be busy this morning. This
is what We like to see, as We despise s.dull
times" when the merchant and his clerks
can afford to sit upon the counter, and con-
verse for hours upon outside matters. We
like to see them busily engaged selling their
goods to paying customers. When we see
the mechanic at his daily labor we know he
is satisfied, and his satisfaction gives us
pleasure Upon the daily toll of the indus
trious mechanic, the 'daily bread" of mil
lions depends; and when the mechanics
child kneels beside its little bed, and asks
our Father in Heaven" to give US "our
daily Bread" it prays that the earthly
parents arm may be strengthened for the
labors of the day. The busy season is
opening; We hope all may have plenty to
do and good pay for the work

A DEPARTMENT OF AGRIcULTURE

The National Agricultural Association recently in ses
sion Washington, resolved to memoriaze Congress to
establish department Of agriculture The idea is very
proper The Patent Office acts in some degree as
bureau Of agriculture but it is not equal to the public
necessity The Government might do great deal for
agriculture by the introduction of seeds and animals by
the distribution Of information and scientific discoveries
and by testing processes and experiments With climate
stretching through half the northern temperate zone and
betting the whole continent we ought TO multiply ag
ricuitural products and to naturase here many for
which we dependant upon foreign countries or which
form their perishable nature, being adapted for
sea transportation, do not have At ALL There has
never before been time when so much attention was
paid to agricultural subjects Men Of fortune all over
the country are testing experiments the results of which
will be for the public benefit and large sums are expend
ed in Improvements which, If successful may be adopted
by others at far less cost.--Prowdence Journal
