The Howard University of New York city,
an institution chartered by Congress last
winter for the education of the cOlored race,
is now going into operation with great success,
so pupils being already gathered in its normal
school. During the last month the corpora
ton purchased farm of $50 acres on Seventh
street for $l47, 800. Within that month it has
sold off land to the amount of $50, 900, and
still reserves 80 acres valued at 800, 900 more,
for University purposes. A building has been
commenced for recitation, and other rooms,
the contract price of which is $68, 900, which
will be filed with scholars before another
spring. The Faculty are now partially Or
ganized, and Professor of Theology is soon
TO be chosen. Should the University continue
TO flourish as it has begun, by another year it
will undoubtedly be at the head of the colOred
educational institutions of the country.

In accordance with the Statute.j the
towns Of Stowe, Morristown and Johnson,
in the Fall of 1860, purchased farm of
200 acres in the town Of MorIistown,
pleasantly situated on the main road
leading through said town. for the pur-
pose of better providing for and support
ing INDECENT or poor persons. The amt
paid for the premises at the time of pur-
chase was $4,000. Additions were i'm
mediately made that increased the ex-
pense of the real estate. together with the
stock. tools and funiture to S7,Sll.-
Subsequent additions increased the ex-
pense, 50 that at the present time the
whole outlay for the premises and proper
ty, to secure comfort for those persons
that arr SO unfortunate as to require the
assistance of their respective towns, and
convenience of those that have the charge
of them, amounts to the sum of $9,3l4.
The committee appointed by the several
towns to superintend and take charge Of
the matter hired, as proper persons to
have the more immediate oversight of
their interests, and especially to see that
all persons committed to their poor-house
be properly cared for, Mr.. Ebonezer Bar
rows and lady, persons who had some ex-
perience in keeping the poor house in the
town of Woodstock. These persons have
been retained up to the present time by
the superintendents, at an average cost
per year of $3.50. Time has proved that
the committee acted wisely in their selec-
tion of Mr.. and Mrs. Barrows. They
have shown that discretion, decision and
kindness that we SO rarely find combined,
and which is so very important in per
sons having charge of poor house.
There has been admitted during the
last four years 6 paupers, Of which num-
Der II have died. one child put out and
10 have left to take care Of themselves or
be taken Gale of by friends. Assistance
has been rendered by the three towns in
four years to 1877 persons who have moi
been to the poorhouso at all. The whole
expense of supporting the poor by the
three towns for four years is about $Soo0
in addition to the use of money invested
in farm, stock, Sc. This method of sup.
porting the poor has given almost univor.
sal satisfaction, not only to those who
have borne the expense, but especially
and almost without exception, to those
who have been the recipients of the kind
care and treatment of the superintendent

Soon after the commencement Of the last
session Of Congress | reported a bill from

it out and returned it to the House. who
refused to concur in the amendment. The
result was Committee Of Conference

seemed to control the action of some half
dozen Senator's who preferred trusting

slain in l776, and again ins 1861, and
will thus do great damage to the creation
of Government now so capable of being
converted into political paradise. This

rect and palpable attack upon its frame
work as by gradually forgetting the vital
principles of the Declaration Of Indepen-

LETTER FROM MINNESOTA.

such matters pertaining to this town, OF
Congressional township of six miles
square-thirty six sections of GAO acres

Twelve years ago last Spring, not an
acre was under cultivation no fences and
no buildings, except some half a dozen
claim shanties, seven by nine, where
bare headed Yankee pioneer, fresh from
some mountain side in Vermont or New
Hampshire, might be seen feasting his
eyes upon the rich scene around him |;
claiming all the land as far as his pierre
ling eye could reach, "a Yankee will see
great distance under such circumstances
amounting to thousands Of acres: and
trying to hold it, too, by some squatter
sovereignty right, or law, higher and be-
yond any found in the books. 1t was
dangerous for any enterprising Hoosier,
or Dutchman, to drive a stake, or claim
any of his possessions. This law abld-
ing, peaceful son of New England had a
way of his own, by which he could fairly
"look" them off his lands Now, how
changed all settled, nearly all under i'm
provement fine roads, Railroad through
the centre of the town, fine dwellings,
school houses, and all the surroundings
of an old settled country.
I We have 10000 acres Of our land in
wheat, just ready for harvest. from which
we expect to obtain over 100000 bushels
Of No. l wheat. Valued, at low estl-
mate, alta quarter Of million dollars.
Our oat, corn and barley crops will proba-
bly, amount to more than 100000 bush

cess. Farmers are all independent; no

ENRON. NEWsDIALER

How TO SECURE THEM. AND How TO DIS.
POSE OF THEN.
EDITOR, NEwsDEALER.
Dear Sir AS the time for Hop.pick-
ing approaches, | beg leave to offer through
the medium of your valuable paper. few
suggestions to growers on the subject of
picking, and preparing their Hops for
market.
No particular branch Of Hop culture
through this country is so seriously neg
lected as that of clean picking; while in
England and Germany, growers take
great pride in doing this part Of their
work well.
We have no better proof of the advan-
tages to be gained by clean picking, than
the fact that foreign Hops always COM
mand a higher price in our markets than
Hops ofnative growth. This increased
value of foreign Hops is attributed by
Hop dealers to their greater cleanliness,
and not to any superiorority in the Hop,
ITSELF as our climate and the fertility of
soil is surpassed by that of no other coun-
try.
There is no good reason why we should
not be able to compete with foreign grow
ers, in producing as good Hops as they.
or as good as are grown in the world ;
since it is a we'll known fact that the
American Hop, in point of strength and
richness of flavor, always exceed those Of
foreign countries
Farmers, in excuse Cor not picking their
Hops clean, say, it cannot be done in
yards Of light growth, where the Hops
are few and scattering. / maintain il
cai be done, in all yards.
The Hops in this country mever aoere
picked clean mot even in the season Of
1860 and 1862, when the average yield
was ton to the acre.
have watched the process Of picking,
in yards of all grades aud sizes through
out this State, and have observed, that in
most instances. the Hops, instead of be-
ing picked off one by one, are stripped off,
together with leaves and stems by the
handful. a
Ten cents per lb.. or $40 per bale
ought to pay the grower well enough tc
secure more care in having his Hops care
fully picked. have known instances
| in which on increased price Of 10 cts. OF
more per lb. has been obtained on lots
when there wrs no apparent difference II
their quality.
If the present system Of picking Hop
lat stipulated price per box we're aban
Lamoille newsdealer. [volume] (Hyde Park, Vt.) 1860-1877, 1867-09-04

stituted, it would tend to do away with
eager desire pickcrs otherwise have, to
make out big days job, by picking fast,
and filling up with leaves and STEMS .
The wages per day could be governed
by the care exercised by each picker in
doing her or his part we'll, and not by the
number of boxes picked.
Too much attention cannot be given in
properly curing Hops. The practice of
using sulphur to give them bright straw
color, is very much abused and if indul-
ged in. to too great an extent, the natur
al right flavor and aroma Of the Hop is
destroyed.
Many growers, anxious to get their
Hops into market early, hurry the drying
process so fast as to cause the Hops to be-
come scorched. The stoves or heaters
never should be allowed to get rod-hot
Smoke from the burning fuel should also
be guarded against. A moderate, uniform
heat gives the Hop more natural cure.
Then again, it is very important that
Hops should be sufficiently dried be-
fore being baled, otherwise there is dan
ger of sweating and teating in the BALE
Most growers claim to thoroughly un-
derstand all these points, but the most
experienced often fail to cure their Hops
properly. Bales should be put up to
weigh as near 200 lbs. as possible; when
larger quantity is compressed in bale
of the ordinary size, the Hops are depri-
we'd of the necessary circulation of air,
and are liable to heat.
the best three-ply twine should be used
in baleing, as poor article is apt to
break when bales arc roughly handled,
thus allowing waste of the Hops
Every grower should provide himsel +
with stencil plate, bearing the initials
of his name, and stamp each bale.
Hop Presses should be constructed in
SUI ch manner as to render it unnecessary
for the Hops to be stamped down with
the feet. Broken Hops do not sample or
sell SO we'll as those which are kept
whole.
| Growers should never refuse to sell
their Hops at home. when they can get
the market price. When they can't sell
at homo to advantage, they should con-
sign to some reliable Commission Dealer,
who makes Hops speciality, and who
deals strictly on commission.
Hops should never be carried over from
one season to another, as the deterioration
in value and quality is about 80 per cent
after the first year.
An experienced Commission Merchant
should never to subjected TO restric
tion on the price to be obtained fol
the Hops. If he is worthy Of confidence
he should be allowed to exercise his bes'
judgment in etfecting sale; and being
in constant communication with the gen
eral trade, his facilities for judging The
market prices arc generally better thar
the growers, whose experience is limited
to the dealings they may have in the
yearly sale of their own produce. IL
many cases favorable offer is lost by
i decline in the market before the cOnsigne'
can communicate with the owner.
