ty of putting our hedges out andraise
fences that will turn even the cattle
Of the present day that no fence made
of rails is any impediment to their
troublesome progress, and then after
we get our hedge fence grown up, our
stock can be turned out if the people
desire it. All men, except some few
whose hospitality is wrapt up within
their own littleness--admit that any
community is dependant on each ether
for success and prosperity, and what
is the interest of oneis either directly
or indirectly the interest Of all. This
rule is particularly applicable to the
farmer. .a lH
And by taking into consideration
cur widespreading prairies and the
extreme scarcity Of timber in the
western portion of our county, we see
at once that unless law of some kind
be gotten up for the benefit Of the
prairie farmer that a great portion Of
our best prairies are destined to remain
unsettled for long, time, if not for
ever. To talk about settling up our
large prairies without either timber or
a law to restrain stock, from running
at large is talking about an impossibi-'
lity which can never be accomplished.
Timber can and sciH be raised on our
prairies provided stock be kept off Of
it few years, until people have .
chance to get it fairly started and en-
closed with hedge fences, which viii
require some four years after setting.
i By such a law, we can all get our
farms fenced with good and substain-
tial hedges which viii not only enhance
the value of our farms about one half,
but viii give us one of the most con-
venient and beautiful countries in the
western world.
Our western prairies VIII all settle
up, and we will thereby soon enjoy al
the privileges of a densely populated
State instead of a thinly settled Ter
. ritory.
!, These are suggestions which we hope
the farmers viii take into consideration,
and if others have better plan in
) view, make it known; at all event let
; us do something and get up some kind
/ of a petition for our Legislators to act
upon this winter. We have confidence
enough in them to believe they will
execute the will Of the people cheer
fully, if theyswill but let them know
what they want done. ,I

Mr.. Mole never sees them. They
grow in all the corners of his fences,
in his yards, in the roads ana lanes,

SAY AMEN.

Larkin Moore was a half crazy, wan
dering, lazy fellow, who used to amuse
the people in and about Newburyport
with his eccentricities and his music;
for Larkin had host Of old songs,
hymns and snatches, of melody, which
he rendered, in a plaintive voice, to
familiar sirs, and entertained crowds
that would gather around him. Many
of these songs needed only to be
clothedin better words, and they would
take their place among the verses that
men will not let willingly die. For
example, one of Larkin's songs caught
the ear of true poet, who dressed it
up, and it commences:
"a pilgrim climb d the mountain height, q.
Assailed by wind and snow Z.
Larkin went to church one Sunday
while at Taunton, and Parson Whitneg
was exercising his gifts which were
flew. and small. His sermons were
noted for their great length and very
little depth-for their want of thought
and the preachers want of energy; So
that oftentimes it seemed as if he could
come to the end, if he had but spirit
enough to bring himself to stand
still. Larkin walked up the aisle and
took a seat about midway of the church
He listened longer than could have
been expected of such restless mind
as his, while firstly, secondly, thirdly
fourthly, and so to seEenthly, were
seVerally announcedand expatiated ON
and then exclaimed the minister, s'acha

For the Cadiz Sentinel.
The death of Mr.. John Olmsted on the 1lth
instant, is an event which calls for something
more than the brief and formal notice which
usually announces the deceas9 Of our friends and
neighbors. He had lived to an advanced age,
and the longer and more active portion of his
life had been spent among us.
In the year 1916 Mr.. Olm5tead, then at the
age Of thirty four, cmigrated with his small fam
lily from the county of Westchester in the State
of New York to Ohio, and located in the town
of Cadiz, During all the long period which
has interviewed, down to the time Of his death,
he has been one Of our most enterprising, infu-
entail and prominent citizens His long resi-
dence here and his extensive and varied business
sally known throughout our community, and the
excellent qualities Of his heart and mindhad uni
ted to render him as universally respected and
esteemed.
Few men understood, better than he, did the
true philosophy oflfe, or conformed, in practice
more closely to its maxims and precepts.
He was remarkably correct and regular in his
habits. With him the day commenced early
and closed early. Every employment and avo-
cation in life which is necessary to the welfare
of society was in his estimation respectable and
honorable
His steady and perscvering industry in what
ever he was engaged, his integrity and punctu-
ality in all his dealings, connected with judi
Gus and prudent economy, not only resulted in
accumulation ofa large estate, but at the same the
time constituted pattern and example which
was useful to that portion of the rising genera.
ton by whom he was surrounded.
Possessing strong and vigorous intellect, con,
nected with sound judgment and practical good
sense, his counsel was often sought, and otter
proved useful to others in their various pursuits
in life. t., .t
Among the many friends of human liberty by
whom he was surrounded there was none, per-
haps, whose sympathy for the unfortunate and
the oppressed were more strongly excited thar
his; and one of the last expressions which hi
heard to utter was that 'he was dying in f,e
State and that his body would find its last rest
ing place in free SOIL"
Mr.. 0lmsted had outlived all the members o
his family except one daughter, to whom he wa
dcvotedly attached, and that attachment wa
returned by the most constant and tender assidu
tiles, on her part,or the comfort and happiness Q
her father va
Although Mr.. olmsted had reached that ad
vanced period beyond which it could not rea
sonably be expected that life would be much fur
ther prolonged, still his death has produced
void nour society which will be severely fell
and by none nore SO (outsidc of the immcdat
family crcle) than by the small remnant which
remains Of those who, during period of NOR
than thirty years had not only known him wei
but had lived with him on terms of intimac
and enjoyed duriug all that time his unwaverin
confidence and friendship. D.

GrecIy at last become a Christrin

Greely at last become Christrin.
The following fro a leader in the New
York Tribune will strike many with astonish-
ment:
"In opening the Presidential canvass of 1856
"a canvass destined to form memorial epoch
n our Nations history-we would impress on
our compatriots in the support Of Fremont and
Dayton, and especially our brethren ofthe Re-
publican Press, the wisdom and sound policy Of
refraining from all personal warfare. We believe
all the candidates in nomination for President
and Vice President have sustained fair reputa-
tions in all their relations as citizens; and, if it
were possible to rake from the dust of oblivion
some charge that would tend to the disparage-
mont Of one or another ofthem, we hold it un
wise and improper to do So"
That is capital, and we commend it to the
thousand and one small Editors ofthe GREELEY
school as most Christian advice, and from mos
exemplary quarter!
