HARRISBURG =, wv II 49, -
F}uou Citizens of Pennsylcanid:-
4 eal,mity without parallel in the his
.7rg of our country has befallen the
rroapcrous and beautiful city Of Chicago
lore than half Of that great city, whose
,as:ohless enterprise and growth had
made it at once the metropolis of our
own Northwest and the wonder of the
civilized world, now lies in ashes. On
tie verge or winter, one hundred thou
slni i her people find themselves
homeless and destitute Of food and
c'a,hinc. While the hearts Of the
American people are protoundedIy
moved in contemplating the situation OF
tho sufferers, and means OF relief are
hajag provided in every section O! the
,7untrg, I am confident that you will
10, permit yourselves to be excelled
anon an occasion which SO imperatively
,al,s for the exercise of fraternal sym
aathy aud Christian gen srosity.
The residents of the unfortunate city,
whose property has escaped destruction,
1ii no doubt promptly hasten to the
.escue. and exert themselves with even
aore than their characteristic liberality
md muuiGceuce. But their utmost en-
laavors will be totally inadequate to the
demands of the dreadful exigency. You
tho people of Pennsylvania-were
ever more prosperous in business, nor
3est with greater abundance than at the
resent moment. Let your own merci'
iul exemption from suffering, therefore
aud the rich blessings with which
5ountiful Providence has endowed you
plead with you sffectually in behalf Of
gour most unfortunate couutrymen.
The Pennsylvania railroad company
kindly offers the facilities of their road
free of charge, for the transportation o
all such supplies as are needed for tn
relief of the sufferers; and, acting in tn
same spirit, / anticipate with grateful
glsasure an appropriate response iron
every city aud town and home in thi
Favored Commonwealth.

THE SITUATION.

Now that the heat and smoke OF bat.
.le has cleared away, we hope to be ex-
cused for referring to the cadses which
produced such results in tins County.
'rhat an INSCRIPTIONS and selfish Ring
whose greed for gain aud ambition to
control and manipulate all the Offices in
sha county, as we'll as the Assembly
district, to their own interest, is too
manifest to need any mention here; who
have for several years BY system OF
chicancry practiced at Primary Meet
inr and in Conventions, thwarted the
will Of the people, whose persistent ef-
for, 10 the same direction from year to
year. has this time eliminated in one
pf those Waterloo defeats which is
always sure to follow such usurpaton
Had the would be leaders possessed
any Of the qualities which endear men
10 each other, or those which would in
apire the masses with confidence in their
leadership, with the large preponderance
,,f party vote in their favor, they might
still have held the power, but being en-.
tirely Of that selfish aud negative char
meter, it was impossible longer to hold
the people by the cry of "party nomi-
nation" Their efforts to obtain votes
exceeded any thing we have ever seen
resortcl to, Of which we would De
ashamed to make mention. They now
stand condemned before the people
the verdict ia sealed-"they have gone
where tie woodbine twineth." The
benefits which may accrue to either
marty from the result is of small moment,
but in the principle that the sorerelgn
people should have the priOi'eyc, as we'll
eniov the right to say who should rep.
resent them in the several positions Of
honor. profit or trust, is paramount to
al other considerations, which we think
has been thoroughly and successfully
demonstrated.

A gricultural and Domestic.
social intercourse for Farmers.

Farmers necessarily live at consider
able distances from each other, and in
consequence of this and their habits of
steady labor. con6ne themselves too much
to their own fields and Gresides. They
and their families need recreation, need
pleasures, need something to counterfeit
the effect of the constant labor in which
they are engaged. The mechanic in the
village or city has his mind frequently
drawn away from his work by that which
is going on around him, but the farmer,
being differently situated, finds nothing to
break the monosony unless he seeks, for
it elsewhere. 1t is quite probable that
more work would be accomplished and
better tone of feeling be experienced, to
say nothing Of the more cheerful counte-
nance which would be worn, if half day
each week were given to social intercourse
with fellow farmers, instead of devotins
six full days each week to unremitting
labor. After day spent pleasantly
away from home, the labor is not so irk-
some--the laborer is happier. Allowing
as much was not accomplished by giving
a little time to relaxation, it should be
born in mind that food and rament fof
the family, forage for the stock, and mon-
ey for the bank, are not the only things
worth striving for. We need happincs as
well. But if portion of this time be-
given to wide awake farmer club, ideas
will be gained, practical knowlege acquir-
ed, which in time will bring about re-
suits far in excess of those which will be
realized by the farmer who does not i'm
prove these opportunitiss.-N. e. Furns-

Hints about Flowers.

House plants ought to be stimulated
gently once or twice a week. Rain-wa-
ter, SO refreshing to summer flowers, al
ways contains ammonia, which also
abounds in all liquid manures. If you
take an ounce Of pulverised carbonate of
ammonia, dissolved IN one gallon of wa
ter, it will make spring water even more
stimulating to plants than rain-water. If
you water your plants once in two weeks
with guano water (oae tablespoonful to
pale) they will grow more thrifty. Chick
en- manure dissolved in water is excellent.
Always keep the soil in your flower pots
loose. A common hair-pin used daily
will stir the earth suficiently,-Eoston

The CAUSE OF RUST IN WHRAr.-It is
getting to be pretty general opin ion
among farmers, says the Germantown Tel-
egraph. that the sowing of grass seed
clover or timothy-with the the wheat i'll
the ia Il, as has been common in nearly
every W heat growing district here. as
well as north and east of US. is the cause
of rust on wheat, BY reason OF the moist
ure which the grass retains affecting the
grain-stalks when maturing. These grass
seeds sown after the wheat crop has been
harvested, Hill produce it is claimed
as good crops the following year as ifsown
at the time of the wheat, niue months
previously. We should like to hear
from our farmers on this subject, as til re
is apparently two sides TO it, and especial
II as it is one of decided Importance.

A Coon Soil. The question of dee

A Coon SoIL.-The question of deep
blowing which we had supposed defnite-
ly settled long since, is again being
brought toward, and the discussions are
assuming very spirited style. Subsoil
pIows, which grew rapidly in favor some
years since, have almost entirely disap-
peared, though faith in deep blowing has
taken stronger hold than ever. Of
course the depth of blowing should be in
proportion to the depth of soil. 1t will
not do 10 pillow twelve inches deep where
the surface soil is only six. This may be
done in the course of time, but not at
once. To make good deep soil, the
progress downward should be gradual.
Let proper portion OF the subsoil be
brought to the surface and exposed to the
action of the sun, ram, wind and frost,
then add the manurcs necessary to rem
der it fertile. By pursuing this plan for
successive years. a fertile soil can be made,
one that will resist the effects Of drought,
and be fitted also for the successful culti-
Walton of all ordinary crops. BY this
tlCoAo ehO iAloO! dl OOucAllUCAbn VI SAS CUO-
sol! become thoroughly intermixed with
the soil of the surface, which in conse-
queuce of oft-repeated shallow blowing,
has been depleted of them. 10 make
good soil by this method, the blowing
should he done IN the fail, III order that
the newly turned up subsoil may be sub.
jected to amelioratng influences of win
ter's freezing and thaSiDg. But after all
this is done, it will be found that good
crops cannot be produced unless there is
liberal application of manure. Plow
deep and MANURE generously. and you
will have good soil and a bount iful
yield.

ARTISTIC FLArrERy.-That is not a
dull dodge Of the western dealer in ladies
boots and shoes, which consisted in num-
qcring all of them two-anda- half and
three, aud disposiIg of them under the
guise of so amiable fiction. If the idea
pleased the purchasers, and made trade
perfectly lovely, what more was there to
it? The sex has no ingrained hostility to
delicate shades of lattery, but they must
be laid on artistically and with view to
finish, as in the instance OF the individual
referred to. 1t is all in what you agree
to call thing that the engoymens Of it
consists. Call seven boot three, aud
let it be bought and worn with that
understanding, and it's precisely as well
as if it were three indeed. The dividing
line between happiness and its opposite in
this world is very slim, only it is seen by
such very TO" persons. Whsr happi-
ness depends on 50 slight matter as fig
ure, he is the real bepefactor, though only
a dealer in shoes. who is willing to diff
fuse it by cbalking to please those who
are Aattered by his numeratioD.

It seems that thousands of colored
people have settled in Washington, where
they are not only without employment
but actually frequently destitute of the
neccessarics of life. They depend upon
catching a job once or twice a week"
and upon begging for living for them
selves and their families. A writr in the
National Standard gives pitiable account
of the squalid poverty prevailing among
many of the blacks of Washington. Al-
though Congress appropriates some twenty
five Or thirty thousand dollars year to the
support Of the poor of that city, aud other
charitable societies supplement this bounty
by appropriations for the SAME object, the
writer in question says that it would
require million CT dollars annually to
meet the wants Of the INDECENT colored
people of Washington!
