END OF VoLUME.-This week conclude
another volume of the FARMER, and com
pletes the fortieth year of its existence. Al
this time it has been a faithful exponent o
Democratic principles. The success of tn,
Democracy in this county may, at least t.
some extent, be attributed to the faithful
ness and efficiency ofthc FARMER. Thar
Holmes there is no truer Democratic count,
in the country. Here the standard of De
mocracy was never lowered but amid dis
aster and defeat to the party, when tn,
trusted proved faithless and the stronghold
gave way, little Holmes was ever true
The Democracy and the FARMER work to
gether, and work for each other Together
they have been assailed by fanatics, fools
and williams in power; together they have
breasted the storm of opposition and main
tanned the freedom of discussion, personal
liberty, and.the purity of elections
No paper in all the North has more SC,
verely criticised the wrongful acts ofthe ad
ministration during the last FIVE eventful
years than has the FARMER; yet VIC escaped
arbitrary arrest and our office has been secure
from mob violence, though both have been
frequently threatened. 1t was nothing but
the determination of the Democracy to sus
tain us, and to revenge to the utmost an,
interference with our person or property
that shielded US from the wrongs whicl
were visited on others.
We think We will not be charged will
egotism in saying that the FARMER is one
of the best county papers in the State. But
few papers give more reading matter, or SC
great variety of news as ours. No paper
in county of equal population has so large
circulation. The typographical appearance
of the paper has been improved from time
to time until it will favorably compare in
personal appearance with any other,
We commence the new year with large
ly increased subscription list. And we
have the most Aattering prospects of an
early triumph of the Democracy. A tri-
umph that will bring the country to see
better days. For the consumation of this
glorious result tho FARMER will labor with
all the zeal and ability we can infusc into its
columns, and We hope to have our efforts in
this behalf aided by every Democrat in glo-
rious little Holmes,

IMPORTANT To PENNsYLvANIANs.- .-Ac-
cording to the ruling of the District Court
in Philadelphia, the great majority of the
persons living together as husbands and
wivesin the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
were never legally married. Thisis start
ling proposition, but is held that an old law
enacted in l10l, declaring that intention of
marriages must be published in meeting and
posted on meeting houses before the GER
emony can be legally performed, is still in
force, having never been repealed The
statute has long been ignored, but Shars-
wood declares it still in binding force
Whether it is safe to thus declare nine
tenths of the supposed married couples of
the State violators of the law in this strange
manner, remains to be seen.
