PERSONAL.

FEB. 90, 1870
Please allow me the use of your columns to
chronicle the success of Vermont boy, who be-
longed to Co. b., 10th Vt. Vols during the first
year and half of its organization and service in
the recent rebellion. Many members of that reg
iment, as well as other personal friends who are
scattered far and near will be glad to learn of the
success Of Ira II. EyASs, formerly Of Berlin, in
this County, who has just been unanimously elect
ed Speaker of the Texas House of Represents
tyes and know of no 50 good means as yours,
for the knowledge to reArch them His age now
Is only twenty-five, and he has filled many places
of trust and confidence with ability.
The Daily State Journal, published at Austin
Texas, thus speaks Of him
." In a subordinate position, our subject served
in the armies OF the Potomac and James. Grad
ualy rising we find him Assistant Inspector
General of a brigade of the 25th Army Corps
Gen. Weitzel commanding; then Provost Marsha
General for the Sub-Dstrict of the Rio Grsnd'
and of the City Of brownsville. After serving
satisfactorily and honorably until the fall Of 1866
broader field was found in New Orleans, where
Mai. Evans added to his increasing reputation. -
Fortunately for the civil service (Which great,
needed loyal materially number Of officers wer
mustered out OF service, Major Evans being o
that number. The war virtually ended, the younl
veteran betook himsclfto stock-raising and select
ed the Nueees range as the most eligible locality
but failing 10 learn that branding other people
stock was necessary portion ofa ranchero's edu
cation, the venture proved failure, Genera
GriiIn's keen penetration soon discovered that tn
whilom stookniser was made Of better stuff thai
such an occupation required, and appointed hin
Sub-Assstant Commissioner b. X. f. 4 A. l..
which position was vacated in June, 1867, 70
that Of Deputy Assessor Of Internal Revenue 70
the 2nd Collection District Of Texas; this was i
turn vacated for the responsible Office Of Deput
Collector for the same District. The last post q
honor was left for still more brilliant career i
the Legislature"
Such is a brief statement by "The Journal,
of their Speakers" actions In his younge
days We predict fur him an enyiable future
for his nature and composition are made of ma
terial that will show better for the longer usage
Vermont is always glad to learn of the success
her gallant sons and think she may count hei
self honored in having this one,
Very truly yours,
IL. NJ PIBRcR.

should never be plowed under the groonsward
The strength Of the manure tends downward, and
by plowing it in deep, the farmer would suler
great loss. The value Of sand md muck put into
the hog-pen, was simply as nn absorbent of the
liquid manure
ID. b. WnEElocK thought manure should be
thoroughly worked over and pulyerized before il
was applied to the land
Capt WILDER agreed with the statement that
manure should be applied soon after it was made,
and that it should be put the top Of the ground,
and thoroughly narrowed in.
| Mr.. AIMS stated that the coarse, green manure
that was full Of stnw, he plowcd in Mr.. 5. f.
| NyE Of Berlin, had experimental with hen ma
nure That that he had mixed with ashes was
worthless, but when he had mixed it with plaster,
| (by which means the ammonia Of the manure
was proseryed) he found il very valuable He
Thought plaster and hen manure, with perhaps
some muck, would make an excellent manure
Mr. A. j. rollister agreed with Mr. Nye as to
the value of mixing plaster with hen manure.
The Convention then adjourned TO meet next
Saturday, the 9th proxmo, when the subject Of
l"fnE PRopucrs Of ruE DAIRY viii be open for
discussion The discussion will be opened by
Mr. Il. W Bisbce of Morctown, who will be fol-
lowed by Mcssrs. 4. X. Warren Of Berlin, and
w. s. Martin of Plniufeli An essay upon
90 The care Of milk for Butter making purposes W
will also be read by Mr.. j. r.. HOLSTER.
The subject for discussion is ono Of great into
rest to the farmers of the County, as wcl as to
their wives, and we hope fall delegation of both
will be present.

Nnies and Comments.

All the members Of the Cuban Junta at
Santiago eighteen have been executed The
statement is so horrible that we iucine to be-
lievo it to be a sympathizing" canard.
The daily cost of the Ecumenical Coun-
Gil is about $4,000, gold It's dirt cheap if
we consider the grandeur,-but deuced dear,
when we consider what the Council has done
and will probably do.
A wager Of s2jOO side has been made
in England on the correctness Of the scientific
theory Of the couycxity Of the earth's surface.
Fho doubter is one Mr. Hampton, and he
fatty denies that the world is round
The number of murders in the United
States during the month of January is put at
fifty. Double this number, aud still you will
be under the real figures. Murder is ram
pant in these days, and appears to be increas-
ing even on the January figures
Imitation is going ahead. On Thursday,
the United States House Of Representatives,
by vote of lOs to 70, directed that a bill
should be reported to add s5O, 5000 to our
irredocmable currency. The Senate will stop
the mad project, we hope. If it should not,
then let Old Douesou veto it.
Some of the Congressman who sold West
Point Cadetships defend their roguery by
saying that they sod the money thus OBJ
tanned for the benefit Of their party. They
are like Hans the miller, who justified his ac.
ton in stealing the corn of his customers by
saying that he gave it to the poor.
One ofthose houghty Southern women who
fed TO Brazil when the rebellion was crushed
has written back heartfelt appeal for aid
saying " If the American Government NEAR
to take US home, hurry and do so, or it viii
have the dying curse Of starved Americans
For Gods sake take the unfortunate, deceive,
people out Of here while they are able t.
walk"
Much indignation is felt, sud expressed
because Mormon missionaries have perverte
some pretty girls on Long Island to the CT
rors of the Utah faith. So long as only oil
and plain women were thus perverted, me-
took the peryerting work calmly, and talke
philosophically of the excellence of tolera
ton but now that young and handsome VIC
men are imposed upon the matter has becom
serious, and the masculine mind is nobl
alarmed for the cause of virtue and tn
wickedness of polygamy is made clear.
Mr. Seward has returned home, and is I
have Il reception in New York. lie is as j,
> biant as if he were only seventeen, and ne
almost seventy. Did he find the Fountain {
Youth in Alaska2 1t used TO be in Floridi
So says Dr. Hcdegger. The famous -Four
tain of Youth, he observes, "if am right
t informed is situated in the southern part
u the Florida peninsula, not far from LAX
c Macao Its source is overshadowed by Sc,
d oral gigantic magnolas, which, though nun
t. berless centuries old, have been kept as fires

of its Typographical errors" We most
cheerfully acknowledge that our mistake was
due to the Republicans bunder, and that
Mrs. Lvormore does not deserve the personal

opinions are never found to have logical basis.
Still the Convention was to "awaken the le-

was to have all the awakening pro aud that the

" Championship has "ohanged all that and
hereafter it will be well for women to find whether
they belong or not to the proper class before ven

me in " Championship was the total lack OF

But Crabd came in and remarked that many
even women-loyed the you're another style
of argument, 20 that Mrs Championships cours'

sorry, though that woman Of our own State
can't quietly say how this question looks to her
