The following notice Of the Douglas
Hay Loader is from one of the most in
telligent practical farmers in his locality.
GENEVA, Ontario Co., Nov 1870
To Ansley d Baker, Agricultural I'M
plement Dealers.-Somc few weeks since
a report of my experience with Douglas
Hay Loader was published in the Geneva
Gazette. Since then l have had still
farther experience by loading some 10
acres of barley, and l now stand ready
to vouch in still stronger terms than
ever before, as regards its utility as a
labor saving farm implement. l reaped
my very short barley and raked it with
one Of the Tompkins Co. horse rakes,
Sharp's patent, (Which, by the way, is
the best horse-rake that have ever seen,
and with the Douglas Hay Loader raking
the barley from the winrows, we could
load load in from five to eight minutes
with ease. 1t gathers the barley as it
does the hay, as clean from the ground
as it can be gathered with the forks, and
distributes it on the wagon faster than
two good men can take care Of it. The
Loader is driven by pulleys attached to
the wheels of the wagon, and being very
light (only weighing about $50 lbs.), it
does not materially increase the draft.
1t need not be detached, but can remain
attached to the wagon, in going from and
returning to the field. | believe the
Douglas Hay Loader the most labor
saving farm implement ever before the
public. JEPHTHAH EARLE.

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION. 1twould
seem that Gov. Jewell has been elected
in Connecticut by the people after all.
In one ward in New Haven, one hundred
more votes were returned for English
than were checked on the list, which is
a conclusive evidence of something wrong,
to say nothing of the Democratic State
ticket exceeding the Democratic represen-
tative ticket in that ward by about the
same number of votes. AS English's plu-
rality was but seventeen, there is hardly
a doubt that Jewell will be declared elect
ed by the people-a deserved and honor
able triumph, and one which has been OF
marked national value.

A CLOSE VorE.--The vote in the House
on Wednesday on repeating the law pro-
viding for the m, citing of Congress on the
4th Of March was so close that the Speak
er avoided for some moments Tho announce
,,o.. r. .lo result, hoping that some vo-
ties would be changed, thereby making
the result more decisive one way or the
other. Great interest was manifested on
the floor and on the galleries and MEM
bers became anxious to have the vote de-
clared. and several demanded that the
announcement should be made. The
Speaker still hesitated, aud during all this
time MIR. Wells, Of Missouri, was urging,
intact almost imploring, his colleague to
change his vote which he fpaly did, thus
altering the result. The Speaker even
yet hesitated moment, and with the
statement that it was in his power to make
tie vote of it. and thus defeat the meas
ure, he declined to vote, and then an.
nounced that 80 members had voted in
the affirmative and SO in the negative,
and that the Senate amendment repeating
the law above mentioned was concurred
in. This is the closest vote that has been
cast in the House for fully year.

Reading every street. They have more

The Central Committee confess their
disappointment and disgust at the work
Of the Commune, which has apcd that of
the revolntionsts Of 1893. They say /:
Their folly will ALLEVIATE the provinces

must resume the power we entrusted to
the Commune they are incapable of leg
islating or directing military operations.
We who have created them must set
them aside. Nothing is left for us now
but to annihilatc Versailles or be annihi-
lated. Unless we overthrow Versailles
we and the Republic are forever lost.
PARIS, April IL. The Communal au-
thorities have redoubled their precautions
against the departure of persons from the
city without passports. Dombrowski re-
ports the complete occupation of Asincrcs
by the Nationals, and the effective opera
ton of the iron-clad cars on the Versail-
les and st. German Railway. Affairs at
Porte Maillot have improved for the Ma
tionals, who repaired puring the night
the damages caused by the cannonade
during the day. They have also erected
additional batteries, and otherwise
strengthened their defcnces.
1t is reported that the Commune has
determined to stop traffic on the North
crn Railway. Gen. Ladmirgult COM
mands the forces around Mont Valcricn

firing was renewed this morning at Porto
Maillot, Neuilly, Porte dcs Jcrncs, and
in the Bots de Boulogne.
PARIS, April 12-Noon. A loud and
uninterrupted cannonadc has been kept
up since last evening between Chatillon
and the Southern forts. Infantry also
are engaged, and the noise of the mitrai-
leuses and musketry has been inccssant
since b o'clock this morning.
The cannonading around Neuilly, Porte
Maillot and Porte des Jernes has been re-
sumed, and is as violent as that on the
south.
Fighting is now going on in the Bots
de Boulogne and at Asinercs. The Com.
mune is forwarding reinforcements. The
wounded are coming in in large numbers.
The losses are heavy.
The official reports of the Commune
claim that the Versailles troops were re-
pulsed on Tuesday evening in an attack
on the Southern forts, and that their loss
was heavy, while that of the Communists
was very light. The Commune believe
that the attack was intended to mask an
attempt to carry Maillot gate by sur
prise.

MURDER OF JOHN @. DICKINSON. The
st. Adams Messenger has received the
Florida Union through the courtesy of G
W. Bogue of Madison, Florida, which
gives the following particulars of Mr.
Dickinson's death
John @. Dickinson, Esq, Clerk Of
Jackson county, Florida, was found dead
in the street in Mariana, April Sd. An
examination showed that he had been
waylayed and shot in the evening, thirteen
buckshot having entered his breast and a
pistol ball passed through the heart. His
pockets had been riAed and his body laid
out in the street with his hands crossed
upon his breast. At the close of the war
he settled near Pensacola, and entered
into the lumber business with the firm OF
Thompson, Peck a. Dickinson. In 1868
he was appointed Assistant Commissioner
Of the Freedmen's Bureau, and sent to
Mariana, and after the discontinuance
of the Bureau, he was appointed County
Clerk for Jackson county.
captain Dickinson was about thirty
nve years OF age and unmarried. lie was
an earnest and active republican, and a
leader Of the party in Jackson county a
man Of strict integrity and pleasant adj
dress, and one who enjoyed the confidence
and respect Of his friends, and yet, owing
to his political principles and his conrec-
ton with the republican party, he was
bitterly hated by the Ku-Klux democra-
cy of Jackson county and his life was one
of constant care and anxiety. He has re.
ceived, from time to time, many annoy.
nous threats and warnings, and though
he still stuck to his post, he felt that his
life was in constant peril. But short
time ago, in speaking of his position, he
made the request that, in case he was as
sassinated, his body should be sent
North.
1t seems now that the threats of hil
enemies have been fulfilled, and one NOR.

ola Commune de Paris"
By REV. y. CYR.

find that few of the readers of the
Herald understand these words, and
therefore take my pen to show what they
represent.
The term "Commune" was first applied
to revolutionary committee, which grew
out of the instruction ofJuly l4th, 1889,
and which superseded the City Council of
Paris The Ccmmune was first presided
over by Mayor Pethiou, and held its
meetings at the Hotel de Vile (City HalD
1t was, however, regularly constituted
only on the 2lst of May, 1871. At that
time it was divided into forty eight Sec
TONS it appointed Mayor and sixteen
administrators, established municipal
council of thirty-two members, and
general council of ninety-six "notables,"
presided over by one attorney of the Com
mune and two substitutes.
For long time, managed by the most
fiery demagog1es, among whom Robes
pierre stands prominent, it waged war
with the Convention IA legislative assem-
bly, that governed France from 1892 to
1880. The Commune found the Con-
vention too moderate, armed against it
the people of the suburbs, and maintained
constant Instruction. The death of
Robespierre in 1894, caused the fall of
the Commune, after which Paris was d.
vided into twelve distinc municipalities to
prevent the concentration of such a for
midable power, and these municipalities
have been increased to twenty with the
enlargement of Paris, and are known I'M
der the name of ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
The insurgents in Paris now are trying
to revive that form of government, and
although they may not be as bad as their
predecessors, are not likely to establish
anything permanent.
The misfortune Of France is to be di-
vided into five political parties, neither
of which has the majority. Under such
circumstances the Republicans Of all
shades should unite, as will all friends of
constitutional government, and then they
could secure order and liberty nnder a
Republic or limited monarch. But the
"Reds" are the "irreconcilables, and
they must rule or die; they are more
likely to have the latter lot
may remark that it is to the fact
that France has these five parties, much
more than to the character of the people,
that are to be attributed the unhappy
; revolutions through which that country
has passed, and now the moderate Repub-
licans will have to unite with the Orlean'
lists in order to restore order and found Q
strong government. They may use the
Count Of Paris as scare-crow, THAT il
about the only thing that kings are goot
for,) and under him restore order. 9th
erwise the old legitimists will be likely tc
win the day, and call the Connt of Cham
bord, the monarch by Divine right un
der whom poor France would be deprived
of many of her human rights. AS fol
Napoleon he has "neither part nor lot il
this matter" now. - Herald.

The Texas Legislature has had scene
over a proposition to change the name of
Davis county to Lincoln county. A COM
promise was finally made, and the county
named Cass, in honor of Lewis Cas-.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
merical, an independent paper, who has
been travelling over South Carolina, sums
up the situation there as follows:
The people are poor, the Legislature
corrupt and extravagant, the taxes enor-
nous, and the State credit declining.
Political animosity is at its bitterest. An
armed secret organization exists, which
proposes publication by systematic whip
ping and killing indiscriminately admin

MILITARY MOVEMENTS.

LONDON, April IL.
A special from Versailles to the Daily
News says Sartory camp has been raised,
and the troops will march to Paris. The
Prussians have established a battery at
St. Denis, the guns of which point toward
Paris. The cure of the Church of Made
line is reported to have been assassnated
by the Partisan mob. A special dispatch
to the London, Telegraph says the Church
of Notre Dame de Lorette has been pill
LACED. Arrests are increasing. A dis
patch from Paris says the report from
Gen. Dombrowski asserts that the result
of the Versaillist reconnaissance at AS
niers has been greatly exaggerated. Sc
we're measures are to be adopted against
the refractory Nationals. The rumor Of
the death of Vermorel, the distinguished
journalist is contradicted. Several com.
panies Of the Commune guard are encamp'
ed at Amiens. The rest Of the insurgent
forces are intrenched.
PARIS, April 12-Noon.

has been kept up since last evening be

bers. The losses are heavy. The oflicia
report of the Commune claims that Yer
sailles was repulsed on Tuesday evening
in an attack on the southern forts, ant
that their loss was heavy while that of tn
Communists was very light. The Com
mune believes that the attack was intend
ed to mask an attempt to carry the Mail
