THIS stove has again been awarded two first
/ premiums at our State Fair at Buffalo, one
for coal and one for wood. We are now enabled
to announce the unparalleled result of this stove
having taken the first premium at the New York
State Fairs for the last six consecutive years. not
withstanding it has been brought in competition
with all the best stoves made in the State, and
many from other States, and notwithstanding the
persistent, combined and determined efforts Of
its competitors to defeatit. And its success is not
alone confined to this State. On the 18th of Sep
TENDER it was awarded two first premiums at the
New Jersey State Fair and has also been awar-
ded the first premium at the Pennsylvania State
Pair, and has never been exhibited at State
Fair and failed to take the first premium, and the
premiums it has taken at county fairs are too nu
merous to mention. And these awards are July
endorsed by the people throughout the country
Its name has become household word from

TO the Gulf of Mexico; and the demand has be-
come so large that Notwithstanding our large al c

Geo. William Curtis.

/ We give our readers an extract from
the address before the recent Agricultural
Fair at Greenfield, Mass. Mr.. Curtis has
been best known in political and literary
circles, but his eloquent remarks concern
ing the political rights and duties of the
farmer may be read with profit by all
To the farmer of few acres, knowledge
is capital. Science makes ten acres
hundred-and more science makes them a
thousand. When twenty farmers, owning
together two thousand acres know the val
ue of a machine which could do the work
for all. and none could individually buy.
then they know and can do and will do all
that the single proprietor of two thousand
acres can do; and instead of one great
proprietor, that country has twenty small
proprietors with direct interest in its
character and prosperity such as nothing
else oonters. The farmer may say that he
cannot afford to try experiments. But ev-
cry man can find time to do what he
believes must be done Let the farmer
understand that ignorance is the bulwark
of despotism, and that despotism DEGREES
the slavery of the farmer, and he will find
time to defend himself.
But beneath all other reasons of the his
torical condition of the farmer is the
fundamental reason, and that is the feudal
or arlstocratlo principle, which has always
prevailed in various forms in every coun-
try, and which oppresses the farmer most
of all. 1t is a theory that God made
little OF the human clay into porcelain
vases to hold the dizzy wine of exclusive
power, but the most of it into common
crockery Tor base uses, a theory that the
many are made for the few or as Voltaire
defined 1t IN government, :" 1t is the art of
making two-thlrds of nation pay all it
possibly can pay for the benefit of the
other third"
This system is the fourfold enemy of the
farmer. First, it distributes all the land
to few propretors. Second, to those
few proprletors it gives exclusive political
power Third, it degrades labor by max
ing the laborer wholly dependent upon
those few. And fourth, it fosters their
ignorance that they may be wiling slaves.
ln word, the aristocratic system gives
political power to the land and the land to
few The popular system divides the
land and derives political power from
manhood. What is the result of this ar
istocratic system upon the genera! welfare,
and especially upon the farmer? Look at
England. The United Kingdom is COM
posed of 100000 acres of land, and has
nearly 100000 inhabitants. 10000
persons own all the land, and the English
school system is the worst of any civilized
country. What follows? Mr.. Olmsted,
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1868-10-07

and then, an opening would illumlne the
landscape with a sudden burst of silvery
light, to be Immediately followed by almost
total darkness as the heavy cumuli rolled
I'D in masses of inky blackness. The
cone of light from the dazzling lens above
me would then cut the darkness in Its on
ward rush with startling clearness. Now
flashing up the rocky sides of some noun
tain gorge, Illuminating rock, tree, and
shrub with almost daylight distinctness

ness as we emerged into the open country

threads until they disappeared in the dark
ness beyond.
Mile after mile we sped along. / had
become somewhat used to my strange po-
siton, but it required constant attention to
prevent my feet from slipping from the
lower bar of the frame on Chich L was
standing. At best l had ut partial
foothold, and the constan of the en-
CINE on the short curves -.Ild almost
throw me off In passin trough the S.
mountains the road was &gry rough and
crooked The ponderous engine bounded
along, with now and then sudden side
lurch in its seemingly mad effort to
plunge into the black chasms which yawn-
ed on every side In one of these sudden
movements the buckle of my strap broke,
and | was only saved from instant death
by wedging my hands between the bars
of the cow-catcher and clasping them un-
derneath | must hold on now for dear
life Once [ opened my mouth to scream,
in the hope that H. would hear me. A
second thought convinced me Of the utter
uselessness of attempting to make my
voice heard at that distance above the
roar of the engine Even when standing
on the foot board it was with difficulty
that we could hear each other. My only
hope was that my stifening fingers would
hold on for the remaining ten miles. An
occasional glimpse of the country showed
me that we had gone two-thirds of our dis
tance, and had also most fortunately pas
sed the toughest points. Twenty minutes
more, and l should be safe.
I'VE had now passed the mountains,
and the road became straighter and smooth
er. As we emerged from the tunnel on
the spur of the mountains, L caught sight,
far down the line, of the headlight of the
G. express The road is there perfectly
straight for three miles, and L had an un-
obstructed view. Brighter and brighter
grew the headlight, till it seemed to glare
with demoniac ferceness. Although |
knew there was no danger, yet the sight
of that ponderous engine laundering toward
me- sent through me momentary thrill of
horror, and l involuntarily clung closer
and closed my eyes as the train rushed
mast LONG whistle from our own en-
CINE announced our approach to LIS, and l
assure you it was music to my ears. 1
could not have held on fifteen minutes lon
ger. As the train stopped, [ unclasped
my benumbed fingers and stepped to the
ground, but could not walk three steps,
my legs were so stiff from being so long
in cramped position. At last L reached
the side of the road and sat down. The
moon had long been obscured, and few
heavy drops betokened the coming storm"

L Midnight Ride on a Cow Catcher.

A writer in the Oneida Circular de-
scribes singular adventure
1.-The train was to start at 1l:45, and 1t
wanted but few minutes of the time. As
| stood there in the darkness, within few
feet of the kissing monster, my heart be-
gan to fail me, and L almost resolved to
abandon my hazardous undertaking. What
if | should lose my hold and be thrown off
in front of that crushing mass of machine
ry? What if there should be something
on the track? Such thoughts kept whirl-
ing through my mind, and | hesitated-
Suddenly the bell rang. Hardly realizing
what L did, l hastily left the dark recess
and stepped on the heavy framework in
front of the engine. By means of a stout
leather strap, bound myself on by pass
ing it round my body and under one of the
strong bars of the cow-catcher. While |
depot, and with rapidly increasing speed
was passing through the city. l had some
fears lest some of the fag-men at the street
crossing should discover me and signal to
the engineer; for L well knew that if H.
should become aware of my perilous situa-
tion he would stop the train and take me
off. My fears were groundless. The
strong glare of the headlight directly
over me made my position, by contrast, al
most invisible to any one in front
Passing the last crossing with rush
and roar, we sped on through the SUBJ
urbs, and into the open country. The
city lights disappeared one by one in the
and we were fairly on our way,
1t was a wild night. The light of the
moon struggled with difficulty through the
dark clouds which were driven before
strong wind from the southwest. Now
