Value Of Newspapers to Farmers.

Clark Bell, Esq, a few days since gave
to the farmers of Steuben County, n. T.,
an address at their Agricultural Fair, full
of matter Of immediate and practicable
interest to his hearers, One passage of
his address is worth copying here, and
we give it, as follows:
mo one can too highly estimate the
value of good newspaper in a family
of children, and l am of the opinion
that if one is taken constantly in a fami-
ly, that it will be impossible for the chill
drcn to come up without becoming IN
telligent upon all questions of the day.
Every household should bring in the
newspaper, then, as an absolute and in
dispensable necessity"

The Democratic Party.

We heard an old Radical proclaim, not
long since, "Oh, the Democratic party
is dead Now, let us examine into
this matter and see whether he told the
truth, or whether his Ignorance caused
the remark:

This is nearly one e-haif of the total

with lanterns of every color, and show
ers of rockets rising and falling.

A fotilla Of about so vessels, none

the canal bearing the Viceroy of Egypt
the Empress of the French and the EN-
peror of Austria with all the invited
guests. Weather most favorable.

Attend the Primary Conventions.
JOHN p. LEWIS,
irman Comfy Central C.

There is one element Of our popu>
latioH, the farming classes, who it is
to be regretted seldom attend pri>
mary meetings and eaucuses-a fact
that too often surrenders the manage
ment and decisions of such meetings
to the control of few village men
who represent no party or people.
The holding of official positions by
bad men is often directly tracsable
to these failures of the people to at
tend the primary caucuses preceding
the elections. True, as is the case at
present, these conventions are gem
orally called in the harvest season,
when the great producing classes
men who read and think most and
especially deserve to be represents d
in the choice of officers-are the
busiest. 1t however requires but 8
few hours release from business to
attend to these matters and secure
proper results. We now have State
officers TO elect and it is essential
that the whole people be represented
in the choice of State officers to be
soon made at the State Convention.
Important as it is, we hope that the
people from the country, in whose
hands is the control of these prima,
ry conventions, will turn out and
see to it that proper men are delegat-

.vigor IN favor of Spain by enfor cling
the neutrality laws, has now pros
ceedea equally vigorously against
Spain, and for the same cause" The
writer regards the recognition of
Cuba by Peru as i'll advised though
spirited. In spite of all predictions
the Cuban insurgents seem able to
hold their own. The whispers OF
the cdssiop Of Cuba to the United
States are now louder than ever
The Americans have desired to come
into possession of that island for the
past twenty years. Now the obsta.
Gle of slavery having been solved, il
fair purchase can be effected, all
parties may be satisfied with the ar

State to the Union, and remove the
great pepEexity from the arena oil

The Netps concludes it's article a.
