Good Templars' Supper.

The supper gotten up by the Good Tenn
plars Of our village On Tuesday evening was
a very pleasant affair. There was good
attendance present of the Order, as well as
invited guests. The oysters were excellent,
and the supply bountiful. There was also
plenty OF the common substantials OF life,
so that nc one could possibly go away hun
cry. About one hundred sat down to the
beautifully spread feast and were satisfied.
Everything was prepared as only the ladies,
God bless them, know so we'll how to do.
After the cloth was removed, appropriate
remarks were made by REV Mr.. DUDGEoS,
of the NJ E. Church, touching the ultimate
relationship between the church and the
great cause of Temperance. His remarks
were appropriate and to the point.
Mr.. D. was followed by Mn. j. G. PIcKARD,
of Madison, in some amusing remarks
lie evidently believes in being merry at a
feast. Bro. P. your head is level)-after
which he touched on some of the general
principles Of temperance very truthfully: to-
tai abstinence from strong drink was not all
of temperance, but man shouldb temperate
in eating and drinking as well as all things
that go to make up the sum total of life.
The pleasant gathering broke up about
eleven o'clock, every one well satisfied with
the evenings entertainment
1t is but proper to say that the order of
Good Templars have done, and are still do
ing a great amount Of good in many parts
Of the country The order here is in a pros
porous condition, and We trust this coming
together and feasting on the good things of
life, will have happy effect on the commu-
nifty, and rebound to the increase and good
influence of the Order in this Village
There is no lack of work for Good
Templars to do in our midst, there being a
great deal more intempcrance among us
than there should be. One thing more, we
should very much like to see our churches
and this noble Order working more hand
in hand for the putting down Of this great
evil with US as well as all over our land

Job the Printer.


Reader, you have doubtless heard of Job
Printing, but you may never have thought
much about Job the Printer; you read the
Scriptures in the same careless manner you
run through a taking every
thing you read in literal sencc-that old
job was actually afflicted with boils or
erruptive sores Now to the casual reader
the deduction is plain enough; but when
his occupation is taken into consideration, a
very different conclusion will be arrived at.
Job, it will be recollected, was printer
or, what is about the same thing he wished
his words were printed in book and
these boiis were nothing more than his
non paying subscribers, the thought of
whose delinquincies were really plague to
him whenever bill for paper, paper is
higher now than then, or other material.
came in, as these subscribers were depend
ed upon to realize the amount due. Yet.
they merely proved the evidence Of things
hoped for, but the substance of things not
seen. Then these "comfortcrs" that sur
rounded him-thcy were his creditors,
whose continual cawing for pay was enough
to make man, even with his reputed pa
ticnce, to feel sore all over, as well as mean
enough to creep into an ash heap, and
scratch himself with pot-hook or clam
shell, by way of working of the extra "ble. I"
That's what the matter was with Job. We
can sympathizc with him, for we are often
placed in the same fix, and have even got
such a spell on now. Nothing but few
"greenbacks" will remove it.

Flag. Culture and Manufacture.

Flax Culture and Manufacture.
We see BY our exchanges that an ef |
fort is making at Chicago to induce the
growing of fax to a greater extent here
in the West. A Mr. Isaac Hedges, of
Cincinnati, Ohio, we'll known from his
connection with the sorghum enterprise,
is now engaged, in conjunction with
several other parties in Chicago, in ar
ranging for affording facilities and Of
fering inducements for the cultivation
Of this crop Mr.. II. has visited the
fax growing districts Of the Eastern
States to post himself upon the proper
machinery and methods employed in
working up the fiber. We certainly
think this a very opportune movement
for the farmers of the North West, now
that cotton goods have gone SO far above
the reach Of the great mass Of the la
boring classes Of the country, caused by
the rebellion in the cotton growing
states. There are no class of people SO
Independent as those that cultiyate the
soil, and if they could be made to see
and understand how readily they might
raise few acres Of fax, and after dis
posing of the seed for the purpose Of
manufacturing into oil, which we think
will pay the cost of raising, convert the
fbrous matter into the whitest Of ia
brio for household purposes, clothing,
etc, one yard of which is worth two or
three of cotton goods, all Of which the
farmer and his guide wife and family
could do without the laying out of one
dollar for hired labor.
How was it ffty-yes, twenty five
years ago, before cotton was crowned
king !? Why, our grandfathers and
grandmothers, yes, our own parents,
grew their fax and wool and made the
cloth for their clothes, and blankets and
coverlets for their beds, yes, your hum
BILE S rvant recollects very distinctly his
own ;linsey woolsey pants and aeamus'
during his school boy days.
Because money is plenty now, and
everything the farmer raises can be
readily converted into cash, is no reason
why we should be prodigal and pay ex-
orbitant prices for articles of, clothing,
&c; when all Of these things could be
produced at home with little or no ex-
pcnse. Flush times will not always
last, change will sooner or later come
over our dreams, and may find us un
prepared to meet it.
We hope the farmers of this county
will look this matter square in the face
and make up their minds to turn their
attention to flax and wool growing lit
tie more-in a word, live within their
own resources more. Farmers this is
your privilege.
Since writing the above we find in the
1mcric1n 4griculturist for February
an account of the produce of little
over three quarters Of an acre of fax.
made to the Agricultural Society of
Worcester, Mass, the total product of
which amounted to s14S.2O. After de-
Quoting expenses (s53.5S) left clear
profit Of $94,62. The land was an old
sandy grayclly pasture field of many
years and not at all in a productive con-
dition.
Those that think flax raising is not
productive, arc very much mistaken.
