TOBACCO.
THE CONNECTICUT CROP.

This is the busy week Of the tobac-
co growers. Ia hundreds Of fields the
tobacco knives are busy, and by Sat
urday night there viii not, probably,
be fifty lots Of tobacco left standing in
the valley. 1t is the aim Of the grow
ers to make sure and secure the crops
before the first light touch of frost
which commonly occurs in this latitude
about the middle Of September, rarely
before that time, and often not till after
the 25th The tobacco, however. is
ripe enough to cut and the farmers
mean to make a sure thing of it.
1t is an enormous crop Few if any
preceding years have produced crops
to surpass it in the weight Of the leaf
It's quality and market value are yet
to be determined, but all appearances
seem to indicate that the quality, like
the quantity Of the tobacco crop of
1871, will be superior. Our small
farmers throughout this part of Con
necticut find in their tobacco crops the
means ofraising good many mortga-
ges and paying off a good many debts,
and also little pin money for their
wives and dauS hrers to 90 shopping

Regarding the growing crop Of Penn
sylvaDia, a correspondent thus writes
US from Manor township, Lancaster
county
80 the Editor ofhe Tobacco Leaf
As this is the section in which the
largest amount of tobacco is raised III
this county and State, | thought, per-
haps you would like to hear word
from old Manor. Tobacco has been
raised in this district for the last thirty
years but the present crop is the largest
and finest ever grown. The recent
rains have greatly improved the late
planting, the early planting, or large
portion Of it being already housed /
think Lancaster county will produce at
least 80 900 eases and York county s..
O0O cases making total CT 35 coo
cases tor Pennsylvania which is 10000
cases more than both counties produceed
last year. There has been no tobacco
sold here as yet the buyers are
decidedly ofiish and talking much low
er prices than were paid last year But
even if we get less per pound, we will
make up for it in the increased weight
to the acre. In fact tobacco at 1C
cents per pound pays much better than
wheat at $l.25 per bushel-T Tobacco

At Omro, q few days ago, some
workmer, while digging ditch in a
back street, came upon the remains of
a monster animal The local paper
says:
'The first parts found were the tusks.
Notwithstanding goodly portion OF the
larger ends has disappeared, one of
them is eight inches in diameter at the
end bedded in the cranium, and five
inches at the smaller end. The tusk
seems to have been worn away in Dig
ging, or other hard effort. The re-
manning tusk, seeming to be an interi-
or fragment, is smaller at both ends
and shows the same hard usage towards
its tip. Each tusk is about FIVE feet in
length. The surface is horny and quite
tough the inner portion being of
yellowish white, and easily broken.
They are very much curved, their five
feet Of length making quarter af
circle. The bones are so badly decayed
that it is difficult to locate them. A
portion of one Of the jaws has been
identified by the tech set in its frame
work. Three teeth were found of
immense magnitude, one weighing
eleven pounds, another eight, and the
other about seven pounds. The
surface OF the upper face Of the teeth
is four and half by seven inches, with
very Jagged and sharp edges, the an
imal being as perfect and clearly de-
fined as when the animal carried them
around and browsed the tops of shrubs.
These remains were found on the mar
gin of whitish ground, about three
feet from the surface in clay about the
consistency of putty. The first three
feet is peat bog, and below is the
clay which caught and held this mon
ster game. The digging is going on,
and more remains will probably be un-
earthed.

ANTT-TAMIANY DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic elements opposed to
Tammany had meeting in New York
on Saturday Evening last and perfected
arrangements TO 1inaugurate formal
campaign against the present system of
city government. The chairman of
the meeting, Samuel G.. Courteny, in
his address declared that the auspices
under which the work had been begun
foreshadows It's success. a committee
is to be appointedby the leading Dem
ocrats of the city who are authorized to
call mass meeting during the week
and issue an address to the people The
meeting was marked by wonderful
unanimity sentiment and comprised
the leading politicians of the city. The
men identified with this movement are
known to be- ofthe first standing. There
is every reason to think that the organi-
zation will absorb all the elements OPP
posed to the Tammany power in the
city and State. The organization in

Removal Of President Linc0ln's Re-
mains,

On the afternoon of the 10th the
body Of President Lincoln was removed
from temporary vault built By the
monument association to the crypt in
the Lincoln Monument provided for It's
reception, having first been taken from
the wooden coffin in which it was first
enclosed, and placed in a metallic burial
case. The condition of the body show
ed that the embalming process perform
ed shortly after tie assassination, had
not been entirely successful. The
features were easily recognized, but the
skin was very much discolored. The
coffin plate from the original enclosure,
was placed on tAa iron casket. Al
though it had been intended that the
removal should be unattended with any
ceremony, large nunlder of the dele
gates to the Republican State Conven,
ton, citizens Of Springfield, and ladies
were present. At the $50 P NJ. the
body was removed from the old vault
and placed in the crypt, which is the
second from the right hand, on the
west, as the vault is entered. La the
right hand crypt the body of Tad Lin
coin rests. The bodies Of Dir. Lincoln s
two children were lso removed from
the vault and placed in one Of the
crypts. So may they rest in peace.

1t is fit that word should be said about the
composition and behavior of the republican state
convention at Worcester. An American who
desired TO show a foreigner the most happy
working of our popular institutions, might have
been perfectly satisfied that he should attend
this meeting and draw his conclusions. And
spectators from Other states could find there one
reason for the reputation for high civilization
which the Bay State enjoys. Personal self
control, self respect and a certain moral dignity,
rare in very excited popular assemblies, were
the characteristics of this convention. In APP
pearance it was noble body OF intelligent fair
men, in conduct it was as Self.reStrained and as
manageable as deliberative body,
The delegates numbered over one thousand.
The assembling of such body of men, after the
most extraordinary preliminary canvass the state
has ever seen, with inAammabe materials in it.
and the presence OF a candidate who Is as I'M
scrupulous as he his impudent and cunning it
was feared would be the occasion for a scene of
clamor and confusion, If not of actual outrage,
But nothing of the kind occurred during all the
long and Intensely exciting session. Thanks to
the scf-respeCt of the members and the firm, de-
termincd and admirable handling Of the chair
man, the Hon. George F. Hoar, the business was
never in confusion, no uncivil wor1 was said, no
demonstration was made incompatible with per-
feet pTOprety. Mr.. Hears clear and prompt rul-
ings kept the convention steadily to its business,
and never opened the door for any factious tao
tics. OF General Butler, who has the disposition
to carry his points by all means, it must be said
that he found himself in a different position
before this convention from that he was ac-
customed TO before miscellaneous audiences, and
that he had a restraint put upon his usual mode
of pettifogging practice. Indeed he was dealt
with in such perfect courtesy by the chairman
and fairness by the convention, while he was
not allowed to get in wedges of discOrd, that he
had no excuse for trying to throw the conven-
tion from its inevitable way. So that when the
result was foreshadowed by the test vote on
ward six, of Boston, and was announced in the
large majority for Washburn, Gen. Butler, NOR
tilted, crushed, Inundated, had no point for
protest. 1t is true that, upon instinct, he tried
to break the fall if not avert it by suggestions
as to the verify Of the balloting, but he saw that
it was useless, and chap-fallen, but with grace
full words, he gave in his full adhesion. Every
thing in fairness had been conceded 10 him by
the convention that he could ask and in the
face of fair defeat he had no shadow of rea-
son for contesting the judgment of the people
expressed by the convention. Hartford

The spirits of the departed if they intervene
in terrestrial affairs or communicate with the
living through those who profess to be their ac
credited agents, seem to have greatly declined,
since they left the body, in wisdom and power
of expression. Their abode can hardly he so
delightful as we are accustomed TO believe, or
thcv would not leave it on such trivial occasions.
If the mediums" are not dccevers nor deluded,
the spirits Of great men often come down to
earth for the sake of telling to some gaping lis
tener the year in which his grandfather died. or
what was the color OF his departed cousins hair.
They also occasionally indulgein dispositions on
politics, morals or science, in which the reader
may search twain loranythngr instructive,
but, if he is a man of discernment and culture,
will find abundant reason for aStonshment,
both in their form and substance, if they can be
said TO have any substance. Speaking through
these interpreters, Franklin is bombastic,
Bacon nonsenscal, and Milton mean.
Demosthenes, when he makes Victoria
Woodruff his mouthpiece, loses his elo-
aucnce and clcarncss, and meanders on in n
painfully confused diction, from which it is i'm
possible to learn what is his meaning, and al
most equally hopeless 10 discover Wnetner he
has any meaning. We have heard of one
spirit, however, in whom we could believe with
out much effort, who appeared on a worthy oc-
casion, and spoke with Il cleamess and brevity
worthy of it and of himself, however great may
have been his name or fame when in the body.
The engineer of an express train, going at full
speed on a western railroad, and Just about to
round a sharp curve, heard, it is said, voice,
close to his ear. saying clearly and
sharply these two words, "Shut off" He was
about to obey the order instinctively, when
it occurred to him that it must be an illusion;
and he withheld his hand; but in moment it
was repeated in more imperative tone than be-
fore, "shut OFF, This time he obeyed, and
lone too soon, for as his train came round the
,urve with decreasing speed, he saw just before
lim disabled freight train on the same track
Brakes were crowded down and the express,
with its scores of passengers, came to a stand
Just as it touched the obstacle. The spirit voice
had saved it. Demosthencs himself could not
have spoken more to the purpose, and if he had
claimed to be the author of the warning, there
is nothing in it or the circumstances to discredit
the claim.
