A writer in the Argus, calling himself
L"Free Dance" takes "A step or two in ad-

says: s
"The more ardent and progressive of
the Democracy have yielded for years,
their better Judgment to desire for unity
in the party; and have submitted to lipe
of policy which has kept it in a hopeless
minority for years, and from which there
has been no apparent chance to immerge.
Our young men have left US. In many
localities they are injured socially and in
their business by their adhesion to our for
tunes. We have taken no onward steps,
but have, under the guidance Of mistaken
leaders, adhered to and insisted upon the
formal annual expression of a set of STAN
dard principles, which, however true they
may be and of however much value in the
abstract, do not contain the issues now
before the people and are OF no practical
importance this time"
There il an honest confession, and we
hope all young democrats will read and
ponder it. 1t is a fact that young men
are injured socially (and morally and
in their business by their adhesion to the
corrupt old ark of democracy. person

The July Report of the Commissioner

The July Report of the Commissioner
of Agriculture contains an interesting
statement in regard to the prospects and
condition of the growing crops. In re-
gard to Wheat it is said that the great
wheat-growing districts show reduction
in condition. rendering it certain that the
crop of the year will be materially less
than that year of 1869. Future reports OF
condition at and after harvesting are still
elements of the ultimate estimate, but the
average depreciation of l3 per cent, and
the diminution in breadth of about per
cent. would make the present estimate
about 2I0, ,0O0. 900 bushels, the decrease
being at least 100000
The increase in the breadth OF Corn
planted is greater than the decrease in av'
ersge Of Wheat. It may be placed a

There appears to be a very slight increase
in New England; about 2 per cent. in the

cOURr HOUSE. wIsCAssET,

"And the name of the star is called wormwood I;
and the third part of the waters became worm
wood"-Rer. vii: H.
The dog star has finally disappeared.
The wormwood and the gall were so
mixed in it's nature, that more than third
part of the waters of the Main SeWer be-
came wormwood, and the celestial ranger
had to be quenched. No more shining
with a borrowed light-no more sneaking
behind the points Of star to abuse your
neighbors; but hereafter if star shines it
must be by the light OF its own glimmer.
We were certain that little sunlight
thrown in upon this luminary, showing the
people the source of the vile personal at
tacks, would have the effect to blot it from
the armament of democratic slang, for the
reason that every person in this community
would at once see that personal hatred and
prejudice should furnish no excuse for
abusing in the public prints man honored
and beloved not only by his district, but
by the nation. Bank locks, burglar-prooi
vaults, or years of pretended retirement
from the political arena, should not shield
man in the preparation of this outrage,
and the cause of truth and justice will not
suffer by the exposure of the criminal.
There is but one thing to regret. How
dreary and lonesome will appear the
Sewer, now that it will be no longer illu-
minated by the star As you mourn, inn
maculate sheet, that this sweet and gentle
luminary hath gone out in darkness and in
night, oh, be consoled by adopting the
language of A. Ward:
"Be still, my sole, he still,
4 you, Hart, stop cuttin up"
If the death appears to be premature
remember that
Full many gem, of purest ray serene,
The dark. unfathomed caves of ocean bear
Full many Aower--"
