LIES ny THE CORD.

HORACE Gees 70. YS.s. va. T.. Wh: Makes
Is it worth while to contradict absurdly
foolish falsehoods? Does it not crafty the
liar to find his fabricatioDs treated seriouslyp
And then the fellow can invent two new
calumnies while you are refuting an old one.
On the whole, we think most men must have
better business than such refutation.
Here is specimen, which some poor, silly
coward, concealing his name, really thinks
we ought to treat with gravity
WHAT HORACE KNOWS or FISHING AND CUNNING.
From the Boston Post.
Parties who were up in the Adrondacks few
weeks ago, when Horace was there give queer ac-
counts OF his conduct. They say IL was the most
tonishing thing ever seen in that region. He went
out fishing one day, and came near being pulled out
of the boat by big @ trout Re srSqS got away M from I'm
swore fearfuly when he reeled IN and found the
leader gone. The boatman told him II he did not
stop swearing he would not catch any nsh, and then
he broke out in such way that the boatman, who
may have been superst'ious, rowed ashore at once.
He afterwards said that he would not take "that
cussin' loonatic" out again for anything Another
time he went Off to shoot deer and acteu In the most
outrageous manner, especially in the handling OF his
gun. His companions were in imminent danger all
the time, and az last they took the gun from him
this way, he refused 10 any further and when his
companions returned TO the hotel, they found him
abusing the landlord because he did not raise straw
berries on piece OF land covered with scrub oak
"Why," said the landord, "that patch amt lit for
anything
Why the - don't yOu try? Have you read, What
] Know about Farming?'"
To which the irreverent landlord said :-"NO, sir.
hain't, and | don't want TO. We hain't got time
for - toolishness up here
From beginning to end of this farrago,
there is not fragment, a scintilla of truth.
No trout was reeled in, or part way in; for no
reel was used-no trout got away-there was
no swearing, nor thought of it-no boatman
made any such protest-no deer was huntec
or sought-no gun was handled or touched
no one suggested any planting of strawber
ries-in short, each assertion copied above
from the Boston Post is distinct particular
lie, without a shadow of foundation or excuse,
as at least half dozen responsible men will
cheerfully testify. And the author of this
tissue of falsehoods makes business of in
venting such, for which he finds a ready
market in the Boston Post.
And now, reader if you patronize and
delight in journals that babitually originate
or copy such slanderous trash as quoted above,
are you any better than the libelers? Would
they publish such stuff if they did not find
it profitable? And do not you make it pro-
fitable? Just consder.-N Y. Tribune.

Commissioner also says It is gratifying to believe, from
ndubitabe evidence that the examples Of rational and
recuperave culture are relatively increasing, however
slowly and gradually they may be making nrGads upon
the destructive and irrational modes generally prcya
lent. These examples most numerous In the Middle
States, and may be with Comparative frequency III
the older sections OF the West. They found
sionaly In NewEngiand, and beginning to be noted
In the Southern states but there no state In which
haustion and irrational culture not predominant
The industrial colleges under the land grant OF Con-
OF 1862 have advanced during the past year, but
The land scrip has been issued 10 most Of the Southern
States, and portion Of 1t sold. but the Commissioning
has heard OF action toward the organization OF col
eeos and fears the scrip has, In some instances been
FILTERED away by sales at nominal prices, as has also
been the In many OF the Northern and Eastern
States. The Commissioner speaks Of stean-powing,
