STAY ON rue FARN.-The cities and villages are
already overcrowded aud every kind ofbusiness
languishes more than the cultivation Of the earth
10 the cities the labor market is oyerstockcd, and
one can get any desired number Of hands for
any conceivable job. Clerks from the country
have usually TO serve two or three years before
they eau get living wages. The city throngs
with unemployed men aud women, waiiings.ior
something 10 turn up. Those who find employ
ment havrno security for permAnence. Mechanics
lose their places aud have to lie idle for weeks
and months together. All the products Of skill
and labor are relatively cheaper than provisions
and breadstufs. The great material want az the
nation is cheaper meats, grain, and vegetables
We have merchants, mechanics, and middlen.en
enough, bu, far too few farmers The best cul.
hvated State abounds in unculiiva,ed lands.
Even 10 the vicinity Of our large towns and Glitter
cheap lands abound, and splendid chances for
snterprising young men TO win homes and Tor
tune. Once settled upon his own acres, the far
msr has constant, profitable occupation before
him. Nowhere IL unskilled labor so sure OF
sustenanee, nowhere will intelligent industry so
surely win happy home and competence. 10
the country one never need 20 lack labor, aud
labor brings there the necessarcs and comforts
OF life.-AmeriodH AgrieHlfHTiI

Raising rather Than B"gim0 Loms.

Two Of the best milk farmers OF Councillor,
said at the meeting Of the Board of Agriculture
that they bought no cows that they could no,
buy 80 good as they could raise We were no,
little gratihed at hearing this pronounced nm
qualihedly, because the contrary practice so com.
monty prevails. Milk farmers 20 about 10 nick

means, cannot afford TO bus COWS The question
pertinent, can any good farmer afford 10 p
We think not The price AT which ~ good cows

no high that one who eau raise them cannot nj.
ford TO buy. II costs as much To raise n moor
COW as good one, and with hay at $50 per ton
that is good deal. H. however, the COW gives
an average OF one quart of milk more at a milk

ira cost. Al 2 cents quart the amount will be-
Sl2.50 q year.
How may good cows be raised with compare.

good otherwise there is no certainty NJ all
Ayrshire bulls are almost sure TO impart 10 their

Opinions have varied in regard 10 wha, kind
Of cows will give the most milk 10 proportion 10

bad their advocates, anal grade Ayrshires theirs.
Few Of those who sell milk as the most important
article Of farm produce have hitherto advocated

Short-h0rn breeders claim that there Is no rea-
son why Shorihorns should not be as good milk
ers a. Ayrshires. There is but ono reason we
know OF; that is, they have not been bred for
milk alone for many years. and have been bred
for beef alone, while both the amount and quality
Of the milk have been disregarded. -Anisriedn

that salt was great fertilizer TO ounce

"Is IT FAIR7-J. F. Campbell, Esq., Of
the Altoona Tndicdtor, having been prose
cnted for libel by Robert w. Hunt, of Johns
town, The Aueghdnidn, which would be
decent if it was not Radical, endeavors to
prejudice the defendants case before the
jury who are to try it."-Freemdn.
The editor of the Freeman, who is good
lawyer if not great one. ard who always
looks to the end to be attained without par
t,cularly considering the means used proba-
bly, put forth the above as bid for 'fre-
tainer. r.''-AUeghanian.
We have tried to treat the young men
OF the AAeyhanian with fairness. We
passed through the canvass, bitter as it
was, without any angry controversy, and
we desire none now. But with that dis
regard for the supremacy of the law"
which has become SO prevalent in these
Inter days, that sheet seeks to make a
machine of the jury box.
During the heat of the campaign the
Altoona Vindicator, on the representations
of a man named Coleman, published an
article rejecting on certain Hunt. This
was made the subject of prosecution by
Hunt after the election. Then the AAe-
0hdnidn undertakes to make itself lever
to procure conviction and embarrass a
brother publisher. We thought this wrong
and said so. That paper, without at
tempting to justify itself, has a weak fling
at the editor of the Freeman as lawyer,
and charges upon us what it knoUS we are
incapable of doing. Well, it don't make
any difference.
The Hollidaysburg Register, the leading
Radical organ of Blair county, character
ICES tie action of this fellow Hunt as a
small attempt to interfere with the liberty
of the press So the AUeghanian stands
alone in its attempt to damage its own
craft.

"A sad story comes from Louisville,
KY. A day or two ago married woman,
the mother of large family Of children,
one of whom was an unweaned babe, was
before Police Judge of that city, charged
with drunkenness. She had been drunk
an entire month. Her husband was
araigned with her, also charged with
drunkenness. The miserable couple, it is
said, were discharged with short sermon
from the Judge, as objects rather of pity
than of punishment.
Arthur Glenn, a citizen of Guernsey
County, Ohio, was struck by lightning on
Sunday week, and instantly killed. In
company with another man, he was on
his way TO church, and being overtaken
by a storm, they took shelter under a
large tree. The charge passed the en-
tire length of Glenn's body, leaving its
track marked upon the surface, and pass
ed out at his foot, scorching TO a crisp the
shoe which he wore. His comrade was
also struck by the same bolt and badly
paraIyzed, though he escaped with his life.

that the townships of Kenyon and Lechiel
