Mark Twain has written an agri-
cultural article at last, treating OF
many bucolic topics. Here are a few
extracts:
Turnips should never be pqlled-it
Injuries them. 1t is much better to
send a boy up and let him shake the
tree.
The guano is a fine bird, but great
care is necessary in rearing it. 1t
should not be imported earlier than
June nor later than September. In
the winter it should be kept in a
warm place, where it al hatch out its
young.
1t is evident that we are to have q
backward season for grain. Therefore,
it will be well for the farmer to begin
setting out his corn stalks and plant
ing his buckwheat cakes in July in
stead of August.
Concerning the pumpkin-This ber-
ry is q favorite with the natives of the
interior of New England, who prefer
it to the gooseberry for the making OF
fruit cake, and who likewise give it
the preference over the raspberry for
feeding COWS, IS being more filling
and fully as satisfying. The pump
kin is the only esculent of the orange
family that will thrive in the north,
except the gourd and one or two va
rieties of the squash. But the custom
of planting it in the front yard with
the shrubbery is fast going out of
vogue, for it is now generally conced-
ed that the pumpkin, as a shade tree,
is q failure.n

Judge Ambrose Mason.

The Niles Independent publishes an
obituary of the late Judge Mason, from
which we gather the following:
Judge Mason was a descendent O
the first Masons who emigrated from
England to this country, and were among
those who assisted Roger Williams in
organizing the first Baptist church in
North America. His grandfather was G
Baptist preacher, and lived to be eighty.
five years of age. His own father passed
through the struggle for liberty, of 1776
after which, by emigrating from point tc
point west, he endured the h~ardships o.
pioneer life and died at the advanced age
of ninety-one years. Judge Mason was
born in Berkshire county, Massachu-
sets, in I7SI. When seven years of age
he moved, with mis- father, to Washing,
ton county, New York, and in 1903 was
married to Miss Jemima Turner. From
Washington County he moved to Essex
county, New York, where he served as
Judge of the Courts for a term of twelve
years. In 1885 he moved to Weathers-
field, Trumbull county, Ohio. In 1885
he built a store in Niles, Ohio, and con
tinued in the mercantile business fol-
several years. In 1850 he removed to
Girard, Ohio, where he closed his earthly
career.

A New

Mr.. Thomas Carter of Niles, has re-
ceived a patent for an invention called
the New Block aud Galvanized Patent
Roofing, 1t is claimed that the promi-
nent objections existing to other iron
roofing are obviated in this, due proYis-
ion having been made for expansion and
contraction under heat and cold. The
Niles Independent of last Saturday, in
speaking of the new roofing says:
In the first place, there is not a nail
exposed to the weather. In the second
place, the sheets are nailed only at one
end, leaving the other free to move up or
down according to the contraction or ex-
pansion of the iron. The lower end of
the upper sheet laps over the upper end
Of the lower one, covering the nail which
holds the latter to prevent the lower end
from Tapping about in the wind, lip, OF
tongue, is fastened to the under side,
which passes under the lower sheet
while the upper sheet laps over it, cover
ing the nail as before described. 1t fast
ems upon the lower sheet as the hand
would grasp it, the thumb underneath
corresponding with the lip of the sheet.
The whole thing is perfectly simple,
anu tl Wy StAttArSAAl AHCOLAAAlDAAE ~
The happy thought was the Natural re.
suit Of its authors vocation. Mr.. Carter
is an excellent machinist, and is proprie-
tor of the Foundry and Machine Shop in
this place. He is accustomed to exercise
his mind in planning details and min
utife of all kinds of machinery.-While
in England, his native home, he learned
the art o-fmanufacturing galvanized iron,
and last winter he and his present part
ner, Mr.. LEWIS GEPHART, purchased
the rolling mill known as the Russia
Mill, for the manufacture OF thas kind Of
iron for roofing and other purpoes. His
fertile brain soon conceived this new
idea for the better sale of their roofing.
He has just obtained his patent, and has
thus opened an avenue to untold wealth.
There is no danger of his plan being
superseded by another, for it supplies
every want for the intended purpose, 1t
is cheaper, durable and fire proof.
To give some idea of the esteem in
which it is held, and its value to the pat
entee, good judges of other kinds ofroof-
ing heretofore in use have offered Mr..
Carter twenty-five thousand dollars for
the right TO use his patent Ia the city Of
Cleveland alone.

A curious case is on record in the
County Recorders Office at GAINESVILLE,
wherein the fact is shown that three
pounds of powder cost SS4I,71. 1t was

the courts since, until a judgement for
the above amount was finally obtained.

The Tax Bill,

The tax bill as amended by the Sen
ate, is shorn Of the first eleven section:
imposing special taxes, and has beer
pruned and trimmed in other ways il
such a manner as to materially alter Its
complexion. The Senate amendment
provides for the repeal of all special taxes
after May l, 1871, except on distilled
spirits, beer, ale and tobacco. After tht
first of October, sales oftObacco, distilled
spirits and wines, and special taxes or
boats, barges and flats, legacies, success
sions, passports and gross receipts will
be free of tax. But little alteration has
been made in reference to stamps. The
Committee struck out the clause in the
income tax limiting the deduction fol
house rent to $500.
The amendments to the tariff bill are
as numerous as the erasures, bearing
chiefly upon sugars, animal oils, opium
and the duty on live animals. The nota'
BILE amendments are in new clauses. Bi-
luminous coal and shale is put down al
fifty cents per ton; bagging of all de-
s~criptions, valued less than ten cents a
yard, two cents; and valued more than
ten cents a yard, three cents per pound
Corsets, valued at ten dollars a dozen. OF
less, three dollars per dozen; and valued
over ten dollars, thirty-five per cent.
ddUalOrem. Among the articles struck
from the free list, we find anthony,
books, maps, oxalic and sulphuric acids,
oak bark, sulphur and rough diamonds.
The bill also provides for the importa-
ton for two years, free of duty, of
machinery for steam canal towage, by
any State or person authorized by any
Legislature.

We have received a communication
from Vienna, on the subject of the can
didacy for the Congressional nomination
in this District. The article is not pub
lished, because we donot think any good
is likely to result from a controversy
through the columns of a newspaper on
this question, especially at this time
The denomination Of Gen. Garfield can
not be prevented, or even endangered,
by any assaults upon his position on the
tariff question. He will doubtless be
re-nominated at the 9th of July conven-
ten by reclamation, there being no or
gsnized opposition TO him in the Dis
trict, nor any n who cares to present
himself as a rival candidate for the nomi-
nation.

Reduction Of the Public Debt.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-But for the
fact that there viii be large payment o.
navy and war pensions and the closing
up ofthe balances ending with the fiscal
year, there would be a larger reduction
of the public debt than has been exhibit
ted during any previous month since
the adysnt ofthe present administration.
The receipts from int3rnal revenue
duties and other sources, are considera-
bly, in advance of the estimates of the
Secretary of the Treasury and Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue. This fact
has induced several Senators to urge a
reduction of taxation and duties to the
extent of one hundred millions. Even
at this large figure it is believed that
there would be q considerable excess of
revenue oyer expenditures sufficient for
the sinking fund.

Financial.

The Monthly Circular of Henry Clews
& Co., New York, of June 16, says:
The gold premium is unsettled and
vaeiIlating though at the moment the
predominant tendency is downward.
The principal consideration holding up
the price of gold is the uncertainty
whether, in the absent of any European
demand for u securities, we may not
have to increase our exports ofgold. At
present we are exporting an unusually
large amount of breadstutfs, owing to the
fears of 8 deficient harvest in Europe
and If those fears SHOULD be realized and
we should have grain crop eqael to that
of last year (which is generally anticipa-
ted), it is reasonable to expect that a
large amount of exchange will be made
agaist this class of exports. We have
apparently a larger balance of the cotton
crop for export than a year ago; which
again is q healthy feature in our ex-
changes. But considering the largeness
of The amount of bonds we have been
acoustomedt to send 70 Europe, it is ques-
tionable whether enlarged shipments of
grain and cotton would suffice to prevent
a free export of specie, if the absence of
demand for our bonds should be continu-
ed. 1t is a fact calculated to discourage
any important advance in gold, that our
commercial relations with foreign coun-
tries have recently shown a vast i'm
proyement. While during the first nine
months of the current fiscal year, the ex-
ports showed an excess over the imports
by g, 1000; for the same period of1S69
the imports showed an excess over the
exports of $50, 900, 900; which fact shows
a very gratifying approach to a oondi-
ton of things under which large remit
tances ofbonds will no longer be a neces-
sity.

The local sensation of Nelson just now
is this: On the 18th of September, 1869,
the wife of Warren Bancroft died. On
the 18th of November, 1869, Mr.. Ban
croft married again. Al the hey term,
1870. of the Portage County Court Of
Common Pleas, Mr.. b., was divorced
from his wife. Two weeks after their
divorce, the ex-husband and ex-wife re-
paired to the State of Pennsylvania, and
again, through the marriage ceremony
of that commonwealth, entered into the
holy state of matrimony,' becoming
'fbohs of one bone and flesh of one
flesh" All these proceedings taken to-
gether, may seem rather ''fast" TO some,
but then it must be considered that we
live in a fast time-of-day, and folks live,
die, marry, divorce, and re-marry, not
with railroad only, but with telegraph
speed. It is to be hoped in this case that
the Pennsylvania marriage will 'stick''
till "death do them part ~T'-DeNoerd,
