weather, quite number Of ladies and gen.
slemen assembled on Tuesday evening fol
the purpose of perfecting the organization

to the movement, both ladies aud gentlemen,
arc invited to be present.

TaE Fousru.-we believe no plan whats
ever has yet been suggested for the celebra.
tion Of the coming anniversary Of our
independence. What do the soldiers Of Blu.
chanaa County say to . grand reunion and
parade? A regular camp, with temporary
organization, might be established, and the
exercises varied with guard mount, company
and battalion dnll, artillery and cavalry
exercises, soldiers dinner, sham battle, dress
parade, &c. We understand that Sibly,
wall and shelter tents, can be borrowed at
Davenport, without other cost than that OF
transportation. These reunions are already
occurring in other Counties. We can con-
ceiveof no attraction, which would SO thor
oughIy unite the people Of tho whole County
in ono grand celebration Of the Fourth as
this. A regular camp, with its routine Of
duty would excite universal interest. Shall
the reunion DO had I. We should be glad
to hear from soldiers in every part Of the
County upon this matter.

pdr There ought to be u large turnout ut
the Republican Caucus, to be held at the
Court House, Wednesday evening. Recol-
lcct that after all, the primary meetings are
the important ones in determining the will
Of the people, and although there is proba>
bly, little, il any, difference Of opinion among
Republicans, in the present instance, still it
is desirable that wide awake party interest
be manifested and the preliminary steps in
the campaign be taken with vim.

Ed. BULLETIN The article from IF. A.
G." printed in the last number Of your pa
per, shows that some one is interested in the
farmers il they themselves have no pride in
their calling, or no desire to benefit the class
BY their experience. "F. A. G." is right!
Farmers should take more pains, and give
other people the benefit o: their experience"
Many old fsrmers-regular old fogies,"-

fathers, grand and great rand fathers, and
attempt lseemingly) to keep farming at a

to adhere to old rules, practices and nipple.

While commerce, manufactures, the arts
and sciences-everything nearly-is profit
ing by the experience Of others, in each par.
ticular branch taking up and testing every
new invention bringing the skill and knowl-
edge Of the world to their assissance,-why
should farming crawl at the old snail pace?
Why should it still be SO conducted as to
wear out the body while the mind rests,
clogs with the cob>webs of vacancy and dis
ease, until he that should and could be q
man in every sense of the word, sinks to o
mere machine for the raising Of crops, and

That farming can, with proper preparatory
education, be made the most pleasant, as
well As the most independent Of all voca>
tsons, l firmly believe. The press Of our
country is making earnest efforts to better
the farming, and with il, tho condition Of
the farmers, and these efforts are successful
to some extent. Where stockgrowers have
studied their business carefully, read ard
weighed and acted upon the suggestions Of
others, selected and carefully improved their
stock and-in in a word-driven their bus,
