The Farmer vs. Gallagher.

The comments of the N. Y. World on the performances of Frank Blair are hard ly more juicy reading than the Bridgeport Turner's attacks on the Hon. K. D. Galla- gher's conduct of the campaign in Con- necticut:-
 It said that this and that cause may have ope- ted to keep these Democrats at home. The fnan- cial question, the dislike of some Democats to Gen. Blair, the Ill advised or treacherous iasco of the World, and the gloom occasioned by the ad- verse result of the October elections these and other causes may have contributed in individual cases to prevent the polling of the entire Demo- cratic vote but these causes could have been over come by proper effort and a thorough organiza- ton as efficiently directed and employed as was that of the Radicals, would have saved Connecti- cut to the Democracy. u4{.e

 We consider the Turner's onslaught on the Hon. K c. D., uncalled for and un- fair. In local elections it is an easy mat ter to whip dissatisfied Democrats back in to the traces. Not so where great national issues are at stake.

The new copper-bottom Steamship, Dixie, 1900 tons burden, left her moorings at Deerfeld, on tn evening of the Sd of Nov for a voyage to Salt River. She went off in gallant style with the com- mander's broad pennant flying from the Peak, and the Stars and Bars proudly floating at the main.
 When she fired her parting gun, the most in- tense enthusiasm prevailed. Cheer upon cheer went up from more than two-thirds of the civilized world. In some parts of the South the inhabi- tants thought they perceived premonitory symp- toms of an earthquake.

Ha-Our readers will recollect the trial of the Columbus prisoners" by military commission, ordered by Gen. Meade. Some twenty or thirty leading citizens of Columbus were arrested and taken to Atlanta, where an attsmpt was made to convict them, the evidence of not very credlta- ble witnesses. Fortunately the attempt failed. The prisoners" have been released, and are now looking for these corrupt witnesses, particularly two, named Betts and Marshall. Having applied to Gen. Meade, they were informed, by his order, that these men had been furnished transporta- tion to the North by him, and that he had no tn- formation where they could be found.-Register.
 There is no reasonable doubt that Ash burn was murdered by political enemies Southern Democrats. There is scarcely any doubt that the prisoners arrested were the guilty parties. There is no doubt that if found, the witnesses against them would be murdered as Ashburn was murdered. Hence they adopted the only mode of sa- ving their lives and fled to the North.

 During the war something over dozen democrats were drafted and skedadled for Canada.

By their votes full Dem. ocratic board was elected who allowed them to vote at the November election. Never. theless the Republicans by hard work car. ried the toVn.
 B9 A very serious difficulty has arisen between the faculty and students of Will Hams College, Mass. The former insist on making excused absences count on stand ing for scholarship contrary, the latter aver to the rules prescribed by the Trustees. All but three or four students have with drawn.
 We must confess that our sympathies are with the students. The discipline ot our Colleges is about the most perfect ''rel- ic of barbarian, in small way, now ex- tant in the United States. It is often un- reasonable, always arbitrary, and in many cases in direct opposition to those sound and just principles on which our jurispru dence is found ded. A known pick-pocket is treated with more consideration and gets fairer trial before a police court, than a student brought up before the fac ulty of his college.
 We heartily wish half the yearly amount spent on boat-racing were devoted to 8 Convention of delegates from ths gradu- ates and undergraduates of our colleges, to obtain some amelioration of the present abominable system of college discipline.

Watches of all kinds, and has now on hand u
fine assortment of the celebrated Waltham

for durability and accuracy in time-keeping.-I
These watches will always be sold at the lowest
possible prices, and all are fully warranted. For
nothing can excel watches made on the Amer
lean plan, the pecularities of construction rem
der than most foreign watches. The Elgin watch
es have valuable patented Improvement, which
in case of breaking the handspring, renders dam

watches are all made in regular sizes, SO that
persons buying, can have cases of any thickness
or weight desired, and exchanges in either cases
or movements can be made at any time. E. E.
Rawson has also supply of cheap foreign watch

Rawson is sole agent for the celebrated Lanca-

to the spectacles commonly hawked about the
country, and by their use, tend to preserve, rath
er than injure the sight, and by his long expert
ence in fitting lenses to the eye, Rawson believes
that he can suit most persons much better than
country selling specs, because they are too lazy
to work, and find it natural and easy to tell lies
These specs are always exchanged if after wear.

SHEEP HUSBANDRY.-Ihe mania to
get rid Of sheep is about as great as
the mania to procure them was when
wool was bearing heavy prices, Good
fat wethers are bringing about 81
per head, and the butchers tell US
they can get all they want at that
price. But is it not ruinous to pay
large prices for stock, and then, when
there seems to be depression in the
market, run it off and get into some
thing else more remunerative for the
present; and then by the time man
gets fairly started in something else,
there is depression in that branch
of business Sheep will pay. The
actual benefit to a farm is enough to
pay for their grass and hay, and
grain is small item. With US, when
something must be done to raise the
fertility Of the soil. nothing is so val
liable as good flock Of sheep. To
be sure they are great care in the
winter, they must be housed and
kept from the severe storms, and not
half fed, as we have seen many focks
wintered. 1t seems to be a general
impression that wool has reached bot
tom, and will not rise till it attains a
healthy price. If we can expect from
forty to fifty cents in our Western
market, we can grow wool with fair
remuneration to the farmer, and with
good prospect for the manufacturer,
at the present price Of goods in the
West.-COmtry Gentleman.
THIRsTING FOR MORE LAND.-One
of the most grievous errors of the
past and present generations of the
American farmer, is the almost insa
table thirst for more land. Not one
in thousand, though possessed of
five times as many acres as he can
proftably or successfully till, is salts
fed. While this is perfectly natural
it is at the same time very unwise.-
The farmer recognizes his wealth il
the multiplication of his broad acres
just as the merchant or banker does
his in the accumulation of greenbacks
but the difference between the two i
that the farmer may add acre to acre
without the ability to render the in
vestment productive, while the mer
chant or banker has no difficulty il
, finding profitable investments for hi
greenbacks. 1t is always bad polio
to buy more land, and give manur
in homeopathic doses to that alread
: in possession.
/, The safe and sure guide for tn
: farmer is to attempt the cultivatio
of no more acres than he can kee
in perfect good heart, and every day
experience demonstrates the fact
that, with occasional exceptions,
8 little farm well titled is more profit,
e bic in the end than a large one indi
ferently cultivated. We once read
