Out Of Employment.

From the complaints We hear from other
sections. there has not been-a period for
many years when so many working men
have been out of employment. as there are
at the present time. The complaint comes
from all quarters, and our home mechanics
may congratulate themselves that they have
not yet felt the great pressure under which
their brothers are lsboring in other pieces.
The distress is widespread and deplorable
The Louisville Journal says it is alto
gether ascribable to the financial compiler
tions of the Government and the untold
embarFassments growing out of them
These troubles have ramifed all kinds of
business, great and small, throughout the
land. While the capitalists have been per-
oeptibly stunned, the dependent operative
has suffered the most grinding oppression,
and this long sustained distress has finally
reacted upon the "bone and sinew" of the
country, laciDg them in situation that
challenges the earnest sympathy of every
lEue-hearted citizen.

Farmers Clubs.

Why do our farmers in each neighbor-

some designated point in each neighbor-
b ,od, in the mutual discussion of the nu-
merous questions pertaining to the science

O;al intercourse, good fellowship, and the
diffusion of information, might be made not
only interesting but profitable. It's good
effects would soon be felt and seen by all
not alone by members of the club, but by
sths community at large. Let these clubs
be organized by all means at once, and let
every member pledge himself to be pune
tual in attendance, and to use his best eff
forts to promote the objects and usefulness
Of the assertion. With the earnest and
jealous efforts of farmers in each neighbor-
hood directed to the questions pertaining
TO agriculture, the greatest of all sciences,
the clubs are certain to flourish. and be a
great public good. There are many inter

velopiug the mineral and prod re-
sources of the soil. and of enhancing the
value of land by the building of turnpikes.
