Mr. Clark is decidedly the best candidate presented
BY bis party these ten years, and undoubtedly poed
its full strength The scattering votes were thrown by
Wing and Free.Soil Temperance men, who did no
consider Judge Royce's letter so straight-out and
hearty as il should have BEEN.
The "Fusion" Lieutenant Governor, Gen. Ryland
Fletcher, Ia Free Sober, formerly Whig has proba'
bly still larger majority than Judge Roycos; the
Treasurer. Henry w. Bates, somewhat less, as some
Sellers supported separate candidate.
MsmJeys of C0ngress-Meacham Merrill and Sa5in,
Free Soil Whigs by msjoritie, respectively of 7O9,
100 and 4,Ol2.
To the Senate, twenty. eight Wings and Republi-
Scans and two Democrats are elected-bOth the
latter on side issues in {" Fusion" districts.
The House stands about $50 Wings and Republi-

Neto- York Cay-Secoad assembly Distriet.-The
Convention Of the Second Assembly District met at
No Il Murray-st in the Third Ward, on Thursday
and Saturday evenings and baloted for delegate to
the Wing State Conventionsome three hundred times
The Third Ward having had the delegate last year,
usage required that he be taken from the Sixth,
whose representatives desired that James Is. Taylor,
Esq. should be appointed But the representatives OF
the Third persstenty refused and contrary to prac
lice aud whet s generally regarded as fair in such
cases, insisted on the appointment of person from
the Third who was not known to the majority Of the
Convention, and who it did not appear had for any
considerable length of time been a resident inthe
District Finally, by way OF compromise, the rep
resentatves of the Sixth Ward offered to yield the
point and take a welknown Wing from the Third,
proposing first Charles A. StStson and then Junius T.
Stage but these propositions were rejected, aud the
Convention adjourned without having appointed any

TIE Hon. James N. Cook, State Controller, has
addressed leterto the State Prison Inspector calling
bis attention to the alleged mismanagemen OF affairs
at singSn prison. 1t stated that the cost of "a.
tons for the Sng-Sing prison for the months Of May
June and July, was $4,000 80, which is q 43 per
month for each convict in that prison, estimating their
number at l,O3O. At Auburn for the same time it
was at the rate of SO per month for each convict
estimating their number at $780, the total amount
being 81 ,797 %. Mr. Cook says:
"Tbe difference between the cost of supporting
convict at the Sing Sing Auburn prisons so large
that am unable to account for 1t upon any reason
able grounds satisfactory to myself Sng-Sing has
the advantage of numbers; Auburn somewhat in IFS
locality for the purchase of portion Of its necessary
supplies Whyi should cost pa 90 per annum more

The Law of Divorce in some of our States is very
lax; but in Germany it is a more easy matter to OBJ
tain divorce than in any State Of our Union. re-
cent letter from Germany, speaking on this subject,
says;
As you are probably aware, a divorce may be OBJ
tanned in Germany for the most trhng cause; AZ, for
instance, mere disagreement IL is, in fact, mat
ter of pleasure and is Of every day occurrence. In
Pastor kuntzes Berlin congregation alone there
were during the last year, ninety applications Tor d.
vorce To the present law upon this subject they at
tribute large portion Of the immortality among the
people and efforts are making 10 obtain law
similar TO that in England and America. A paper
from one of the most distinguished German theoogians
on this subject will be read at the approaching gen
eral annual mee6ug OF the German Church, to be
held at Frankforsn-the Maine and at which expect
to be present IL has been often theoretically declared
in England and America what would be theresults OF
a laI law on the subject Of divorce ard you will ro
collect thai there discussion on this subject in
the British Parliament last winter. l can state what
are the practical results of such law in Germany, ~
this is acknowledged 10 be the great cause Of the pres
ent immortality In the city of Berlin one eighth OF
the children born yearly are Legitimate. In Ham
burg and other cities the proportion is still larger,
while Munich has the enviable superiority of swelling
the proportion to one half This ia a sufficient com
mentary on the practical workings of the system.

NEW WAY OF FArTIsG PoRK.-A Tennessee farmer
has hit upon way to fatten hogs where the droush
has cut of the corn. The plan is simply to boil up
all the juvenile porkers and feed them to those Of
larger growth until they have concentrated the pork
family into compass consistent with the needed
supply Of bacon. He argues tina. if cod liver oil Will
fat pork hog oil will fat it faster and that by the time
one half OF the family have eaten the other half they
will be ft for family use
This is an ide. certainly worth looking after by all
who have a surplus Of great h.gs and small, and no
fear for next year.
The plan would not answer in Fleming County
Kentucky, for they have 10 haul water four - Fix
miles now, and that would bar tho boiling How
would il do TO feed them raw until after il rains
Fattening pork upon potatoes, boiled and mashed
with corn meal, used TO be fashionable in our boy
hood; but we rather think ii is not much prsctced
this year. as potatoes worth about as much by the
pound o. the pork would be after it was fatted "Pg
"potatoes are old in this City for dollar bushel,
to make pure wheat bread.
The Cincinnati Price Current gives the hog cen
sus Of 6 counties in Indiana at 2l6s 1913. We think
about half that lot might be boiled up with adyan'
tage to the owners.

The drouth has been effectualy broken here.
Corn generally being cut up and the ears are found
to be short and poorly filed and great many barren
stalks In Tennessee as late Sept 10, the drouth
continued so as to prevent fall seeding, and late corn
yas likely TO be ruined Stock too suffering for
water.
Tie Indianapolis Journal OF Sept. 10 says
Tte drouth appears il prevail with unsbaed rsor in
portions Of The sse aud h not peT ssa even me crops
Upon all the dry lands in the south part OF the
State corn and potatoes are almost total failure.
Where rain has fallen at oil it has not relieved the
greatest sufering-the want of water for stock and
family use
The Cincinnati Price Current of same date says:
with the crop advcsa continue Of the
character rs heretofore noticed rom some places ne
favorable The general result viii we think be crop about

is too high for some counties The stock Of old corn,

than at this time last year, with greater disposition

The Nashville american thinks the corn crop Of
that State will be about wOthrds Of an average one.

The VERMONT STATE FAIR.-The fourth annual
Fair Of the Vermont State Agricultural Society held
last week at Bratteboro appears to have been all that
the friends Of improvement in that State could desire
The show Of cattle Of all kinds the best Of any
Of the previou. Fairs 1t was estimated that $4,000
people were on the ground at one time during the
second day On the third day the crowd were dis
persed by very unusual occurrence this season-ls
rained The excellence and beauty Of the working
oxen was noticeable feature. One yoke, owned by
Josiah Forbes Of Deerield Mass, weighed 900 lbs.
There was one string Of oxen owned in Bratleboro,
Of fifty yoke nearly all handsome red. The ground
was well supplied with pure spring water, bat King
Alcohol was shut out at any rate kept out of sight
Judging from the enthusiasm that prevailed, We argue
much good from this exhibition which proved great
gala day FOR the families OF farmers.

QUEENS COUNTY FAIR.-The people OF Queens
County have become considerably ineensed against
the owners Of the National Race Course, because that
iockeyipg concern wanted half the receipts of the
County Agricultural Fair compensation for holding
the Fair on the Race Course Ii seems that the jock
eys at first gave out that their sO-called National
Horse Show was to be held in the second week in
September; the New-York State Fair at New-fork
CITY the first week in October; and the Queens men
placed their Fair between the two in the last week
Of the month The jockeys on being refused half the
receipts changed their plan aBd advertised their show
for the DAYS with the Fair evidently for the purpose
Of iniuring the farmers of the County by attracting
peopIe to the rival exhibition. 1t is probable that
they viii partially succeed. Nevertheless, the Cit
zens of Queens, we think, Pan be depended upon TO
give their own Fair at Jamaica, generous support,
and thereby teach the interopiDg horseoekeys that
their patronage is not so overshadowing as they
seem to think. And further, the people Of the County
viii leave no effort untred to procure repeal OF Tue
law allowing the establishment of Race Course IN
their midst; so that the jockeys may find it, after all
losing game. The Flushing Journal, from which
we quote these statements says:
ave owe il 10 our self-respect to show 10 these
