Ed. Times-Sir:-Allow me through tho
columns of your paper to address the far.
mers Of Clayton county on subject which
has too long been neglected, and which
should have claimed the attention Of those
better able to do justice to it than myself
I refer to the importance of establishing At
the earliest time possible an Agricultural
Society, and my object In this communica.
ton is to urge upon them the importancs
and necessity of doing something immed..
ately in relation to this subject. In address:
ing the farmers more particularly 1t Is not
my intention to carry the idea that the far:
MGR is the only one to be benefited by such
an organization any good that might result
from said organization would be beneficia,
to merchants, mechanics and in fact all non
producers. Let us look at the condition Of
our county and see if we might not make
better use of some Of the money we have
to pay in taxes than what we do. The law
gives us the privilege of petitiching the
County Judge, and in case majority Of the
voters of the county are signed to said peti-
ton asking the County Judge to do SO, he
may subscribe any amount asked for in said
PETITION for the benefit of such society not
ceeding one thousand dollars, to be paid
zut Of the county treasury: Besides this
we are throwing away two hundred dollars
yearly by our neglect which we should
have right to as such society from the
State, provided said society could report p
equal amount raised by its members. But
instead of improving our advantages as we
should by taking what is justly ours, We arc
paying taxes yearly for the support Of ~
societies in other counties while

IIurrah, for the brave hurrah
Who enlist in the Temperance cause,
Who, when right, is the nations standard law,
Will not in the contest pause,
In your noble task, press on
Ye Good Tcmplars of our land,
Ye will reap a reward for a conflict won,
From an over-ruling hand.
Fling out your banner high,
Let it's colors gladly wave
In the light of glorious freedoms sky,
O'er the homes of the free and brave;
Press onward in the march,
Let bright honor lead the way
And bow Of promise will o'erareh
Your path at the close of day.
With what a bIighting breath
Intemperance walks our land,
In whose dark footsteps follows Death,
Awaiting each command;
Then onward may ye move,
Ye've noble work to do;
May Hope ye cheer in your task Of love,
And safely guide ye through.
May our country's whitening blight
Before your touch give way,
May she grssp IN faith, the hand Of Right,
Which ye in your love display,
And may temperance be the star,
In her disdem Of fame, 90
And when nations speak Of her afar,
She will bear an antarn> he'd name.

But bound BY tie cords of loyas

For dullness make ans
And parrot-like they're po
To tell it to their iriends.
With confidential gravity
They comment on it tod
It's been reported all about,
Aud they believe it true.
They sigh, and lser, and prattle,
And smile and wonder So
Were never known to tattle,
But only hint, you know.
Advice they re always sowing,
As though they never sinned,
And yet, the story Is going
Like chan before the wind.
IT'S whispered. whirled, and shouted,
IT'S Haunted, heeced and flung,
'Tis twi. ted, twirled, and spouted,
."s5~Prom every gossip's tongue.
A slight insinuation,
They found it ere it's prime,
: is4kBd now 't'would sink nation
An avalanche OF crime.
But since you seem to doubtit,
Or pass it lightly by,
I'll tell you all about it,
It's nothing but lie.
Twas their inferral prating,
That nourshed it from youth,
Their talent at n,iS-stating,
Which made it seem the truth.

This gentleman delivered lecture at
Prairie du Chen at the last meeting of the
Literary Association. The Courier and
Leader speak in most glowing terms of its
excellence. AT the hazard of coloring the
check of our modest and valued friend we
clip line from each paper.
The lecture of NJ. Leffingwell, on the
Emotions and their Culture" before the
Literary Association, Tuesday evening, was
fine affair, characterized at once by schol-
arly style, profound thought and mastery
delivery. After hearing such lectures, it
must be apparent to every one that Coun-
try Societies have no occasion to send a.
broad for speakers. Mr..
Letiingwell was entitled to, and received,
the hearty thanks of members of the As
ISOLATION, who also testified by frequent
manifestations their appreciation of his
effort.-Leader.
One of tbs best and ablest Lectures that
1t has been the fortune of our citizens to
listen to, was delivered before the Prairie
du Chen Literary and Library Association
by ID. Lcffingwell, Esq, of McGrgor His
subject was " The Emotions and their Cul-
tnre," the manner Of delivery was excellent.
We have not the time to speak of it as it de-
serves, but all who heard will remember the
lecture and praise it. The lecture is worthy
OF repetition. Mr.. Leflingwell is an accom-
plished scholar and an able lawyer, he is
proud OF McGregor-and his town can well
be proud of him. Courier.
