Agricultural.

Every farmer should have shop
fitted up with such tools as are used
by the carpenter, Joiner, machinist,
and blacksmith, or with those that
would be valuable in making repairs.
Above all, a foot-lathe is desisable.
A good foot-lathe costs from sixty to
one hundred dollars; and the money
is well expended in the purchase.
Articles of use and ornament, made
Of wood, ivory, and metal, may be
turned out by tho foot-lathe conven-
lem for use in the house or on the
farm. The practice on the lathe is
one Of the most facinating pastimes
for a stormy day or an unemployed
evening. Apart from it's use in max
ing and repairing, it is u pleasant
companion for the business haunted
and brain-weary. One who adopts
it as companion of his leisure hours
will soon become an adept; and the
more he uses and becomes acquainted
with it the better he will like it. He
will be surprised at the number and
elegance Of the little articles of use
and ornament he can produce from
the rough material, and at tho pleas
ure that the practice of a mechanic
al art can afford.

Grundy County.

We notice by the Grand River Re.
publican, published at Trenton, in
Grundy county, Mo-, that the mort
gage for the security of the $40, 900
in-bonds to the mile placed upon the
G. KS. W. r. H., has been filed in that
county, and without doubt has been
placed upon record in the various
counties along the route in Missouri
as well as in this State. The Repub-
licdn gives lengthy editorial upon
the subject, from which we gather
the fact that the county has not yet
voted any aid to the road, and that
the subject is now being agitated for
the purpose of taking action upon the
subject.

Fillmore Loose.


IN an age Of wonders. We arc afraid
we do not fully appreciate our bless
ings. We mean tho "varsal world"
generally, and no special person in
particular. Here, now, is the aston
ishing spectacle of tho re-appoarance
upon the public rostrum Of on ex-
President Of the United States, who,
to all intents and purposes, has been
as dead as door nail for years, aud
and the world wags right on, just rs
though nothing had happened? The
sun comes up, Just the same; the
world takes its breakfast, its lunch,
and its dinner, exactly as usual, ma
king not the difference ofa drop of
Worcestershire sauce or a grain of
pepper. 1t don't seem to care a cent
whether school keeps or not. 1t
don't care much about great storms,
and earthquakes, and such thugs
VI course it don't care much about
an extinguished President ofthe Uni.
ted States, who was of small account
in the Executive Mansion, and would,
not illogically, be supposed to be Of
anyaccount whatever out of that m.n-
eion.
But we did not design an essay on
ex-Prcsidcnts in general when they
rcappear on the earth. We purposcd
to recall attention to one particular
thing in regard to this venerable old
fossil who has got loose, We refer
to his eulogium on Kentucky. With
Fillmore, Kentucky is the land Of
lands, and State Of States. There i.
nothing like it, neither indeed can
there be. IF there be State in the
Union" concludes Fillmore. "that OF
all others | have learned to honor
more than any except that which
gave me birth, it's Kentucky" This
Is richness. The greatness of Ken.
lucky is of the past; aud it is long
since dead and buried. OF late years,
1T has been surpassed in every good
respect by dozen of our States. Its
statesmen, if it has any, arc III the
minority. It's public mon ase such
rs can only be described as old wo-
men: and thus only with great inius.
tice to the old women. They 60 about
mourning that tho times OF wallopine
niggers are over, and weeping that
the day ofsmall things will not re.
turn. And so Fillmore lauds the
State, and is satisfied. There is but
one State greater, and that is so, not
because Of great commercial enter.
prlses; not because of the statesman.
ship of it's public men; not because ii
has many citizens eminent in letters,
in art, in science. Not at all. FIJI.
more hcnors that State because il
gave HIM Willard Filmorc) birth !
Willard Fillmore was born in Now
York. Great is New York; even
greater than Kentucky This mod,
esty is very lovely. Nevertheless the
sooner this New York gopher, hav.
ing thus come to light of day and
thrown the dirt out Of his protuber-
ent cheeks, returns to his hole, and
draws the hole in after him, the less
contemptuously will an intelligent
public regard him, Meanwhile, we
may see from this venerable fossils
opinion Of great commonwealth,
what We should be likely to have if
the old party regime should ever get
control Of affairs in this country
