Pursuant 10 adjournment, a respectable
portion of the citizens of Howard convened
in the Methodist Church, in Fnyette, OF
Monday, the 2lst, TO give expression oil
their views on the subject of our Railroads
Mr.. ]. w. A. PATTERSON, former Chair
man, took the chair, ana called the meeting
10 order.
Mr.. w. F. BIRcH, one of The gentlemen
appointed at the former meeting TO prepare
matter for the consideration OF this meeting,
submitted the following resolutions, accom-
panied by a lengthy speech in their favor,
AMI the condition of our Roads:
Rssolred, That we are in favor Of the construc-
ton of Rail Road, from some point on the North
Missouri Rail Road, through the city Of Fayette
to the city of Glasgcw;-and that said Road be
built, and all further appropriations be made, on
the principle of one dollar from private contribu-
tons for one dollar of State aid.
RssOlrsd, That we now consider, and ALWAYS
have considered the system of Roads commenced
In this State, as beyond our convenient ability TO
cemplete;-but as their present condition presents
equestion of abandonment or completion, we
frankly avow ourselves in favor Of their connie
ton.
Re'olred, That to enable the Companies to raise
funds for that purpose, we in favor Of the eco
nomIcal use of the means permitted by the Con-
stitution, and the release of the hen Of ire Stale
fol- an amount which will enable them 10 do 50.
Mr.. A. ALDRIDeE, also one of the cen.
tlemen designated by The previous meeting
to prepare resolutions or an address, sub.
mitted the following resolutions, and urged
their adoption at some length, end with
much ability:
Rc'olpsa, That we deem it inexpedient, irupoli-
tie, and unwise, at this time, TO grant any tnors
State Aid TO the Rail Roads now projected.
Resolred, That we utterly oppose the idea of
releasing any part of the State lien now held on
the Rail Roads: LIST, because ii would be fraud
uHon the State at large; and, I'd, fraud upon the
present BendHelders, and destructive TO State
credit.

Apple-Raising In Minnesota.

0FFAS-AeSA~AsAb AsA NAAaAhCOVsos
The st. Paul Pioneer also has some re-
marks in reference to the recent specific and
hyper critical fault-finding of the Red Wing
Sentinel at DR.. T. T. Mann's statements be-
fore the Agricultural Board at Washington,
and in letters to the MINNEsoTIAN, on the best
mode of Apple-raising in Minnesota. The re-
marks in our city contemporary are evidently
dictated by the experience of Mr.. Wheelock,
one of its editors, who is a native of Nova
Scotia, and his testimony Of the fruit raising
capacity of Nova Scotia, is good basis upon
which to argue like capacity in Minnesota for
producing in perfection whatever so northerna
country as that British Province now grows in
such abundance. New varieties, raised here
from the seed; the best of these selected, and
regrafted on the poorer fiuiting native stocks;
has already been proved the most successful
method of apple culture in Minnesota. But
read the Pioneers remarks:
1.-THE Sentinel is indignant at being paral-
leled in the matter of raising apples with
Maine, or hopes, at least, we I" are not worse
than Nova Scotia" The Sentinel, however,
is not posted in one particular. We can as
sure him, from personal observation, and by
actual statistics, that Nova Scotia raises more
apples, in preparation to its surface, than any
OF the New England States. Its cultivated
surface is covered with thrifty orchards, and
apples are a staple export of the country
especially the harder varieties, for West In
dian consumption. And Nova Scotia is in
the same latitude precisely as Central Min
neSota."
