rea There is some mlsunderstand-
inc in our county, as to whether Mr..
SANDS will or will not consent to be
= candidate for Prothonotary. 1t IS
well understood that he once declined,
publicly, and that, still, he has not
and will not make any attempt to
procure nomination. Whether he
will acccp. a nou,iaation j .freeiy ten'erc"
to him. is the point in doubt. We
have no personal knowledge OF the
matter, but we do think it but simple
Justice to himself, TO the party, and to
the other candidates, that he publicly
declare whether nc will or will not
be candidate, provided the nomina-
ton is voluntarily given TO him?
Au answer next week, will enable all
to make up their mind, definitely,
who TO designate as their first choice.
ELEvArEp.-Wc learn that our young
townsn.an Jouy A. GRIER, U. S. n, has
lust received his promotion from the grade
Of a Second to that Of a First Assistant
Engineer in the Naval Engineer Corps.
His relative position with the eleven who
have been promoted at the same time with
him, is No. t. Having been detached
from the Fuitoa he is now the Acting
Chief Engineer of the lately purchased
steamer CrHsor'cr. This is new vessel,
of about 600 tons burden, ani figured in
the late Paraguay expedition as the
Southern ,Stdr. Since her purchase, she
has been fitted with a new propeller, and
is now being strengthened aud thoroughly
oyerhaulcd at the Navy Yard, Philadel-
phia. To be finished with despatch and
is detailed as a cruiser for slavers off Cuba
and our own coasts. We hope to hear
from our young friend whenever an oppor-
tunity permits, and can assure him his
letters are always interesting.

From the Gennesee Farmer.
Model and Experimental Farms.
PUBLISHED BY REQUEST.

We learn from the Southern Farmer
that there is "probability that the Mod
el Farm ,eiH be Siven up
This farm is located near Petersburg,
Va. It belongs to the Uniun Agricultu-
raj Society of Virginia and North Caro-
lima 1t was the first farm of the kind
established in the United States. It's
failure, however much to be deplored, is
nothing more than might have been ex
pected.
For few years past, there has been a
very general and praiseworthy desire, on
the part Of our most intelligent farmers,
for scientific information in regard to
the rationale Of agricultural practices
This desire for more definite knowledge
led to Simultaneous movement in yari-
Gus parts Of the Union, in favor Of the
establishment Of ''Model and Expert
mental Farms" Attempts at estab blish
ing such institutions were made in Vir
ginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, New York, Maryland, and
Iowa. We hope every one Of them may
succeed, but shall not be disappointed
if they all share the fate Of the one in
Virginia.
Those who originated, or have con

appear to have what we regard as erro.
neous views Of the objects Of an expert.
mental farm. The very name Model
and Experimental Furm" indicates .
lack Of definite ideas on the subject
No farm can be both model and an er-
perimental farm. You might as we'll
expect to have s'modcl and profitable
orchard of Seeding apple trees, as to
have model-that is, proftable-and
experimental farm. Among the seed.
lings you might have two or three vari-
eties that are better than any yet know !;
but tho great majority would be inferi.
or to those which have been previously
tested and recommended by experienced
pomologists. So on an experimental
farm, some Of the experiments might af.
ford better results than ordinary prac
ticcs which have been adopted by cxpe
rienced farmers; but the majority oi
them must, from the nature Of the case
yield results less favorable than the
best practices at present adopted.

We huently observed heart

garments and his melancholy face were
we'll calculated to excite observation and
pity. It was but too evident that the
vessel he carried had been diverted frc N

"What was you sent for, my lad !? It
must be something very important to
make it necessary for you to walk twen-

"Why, sir, it was whisky that I was
sent for. Father had no money, and he
sent me to Mr.. -'s to get trusted ;

A LADY,s FOOT.

A LADY'S FOOT.
There's magic in lady's foot,
And we'll the ladies know it,
And she that has pretty one
ls pretty sure to show It.;
At times you, too, are martyred BY
The incest little ankle,
Thet shoots on arrow through the eye,
Within the heart to rankle.
OF course you turn your gase aside,
And oil your bushes stifc,
Fer well you know she's not aware
Her skirts are raised q trife
And should you think she might perchance
Have on a loosensd gaiter,
Your fingers itch to play the part
Ofhonest lady's waiter.
Though tantalixed till you are crased.
Stark mad with wild romancing-
The witching foot along his brain
A thousand waltzes dancing
The while it merely lightly pats,
As thoughtlessly she moves it.
No modest man would dare to dream
There 10 leg above it.
But when it trips along the street
Through winds and mud and vapor,
BY sheercst accident you see
How beautiful the taper!
As it steps upon the walk,
Amidst the crowd to minglc,
Two roguish eyes look up and say
II wonder il he's single p
But would have no lady think
fancy her schemer,
And beg her to remember that
The poet is dreamer;
He secs what others do not see,
And seeks for hidden beauty
No pretty face can lure him from
The path of moral duty.
