The English Agricultural Laborers.

The agitation among the English agli-
cultural laborerS is far from having sub
sided, though il would appear that the
leaders are beginning TO despair of salts
factory settlement OF the land question.
The organ Of the Laborers' Union states
that some friends OF the agricultural labor
ers are making preparations by which at
least half a million of the cream Of the az
ricultural population will be offered an
immediate, practical and attractive
scheme Of emigration to the colouies. II
this scheme is carried out, it win result in
considerable loss To the land holders, thus
deprived Of their hereditary vassals.
Al n recent meeting i'm Strntford, the
Chairman, Mr.. Henry BRooKEs, stated
that there were 100000 agricultural labor
er- in England, OF whom 10000 had joined
the Union. If II third of the whole num-
Der were to emigrate, it would certainly
tend 10 improve the condition of the 9TH
ers; and to emigate is about the only step
they can expect TO take unmoested.

and chop wood, are the very class wanted

Mr. Carpenter voted for Grant. I voted for
Greeley. ! am, therefore, Influenced by no par

his personal habits and general character. Polit

To his eloqusnce, commanding genius, and high
mental powers, as well as 10 his nobleness Of

Col. FREEMAHTLB of the Coldstrcam
Guards has furnished to the London Times
correspondence between himself aud the secre-
tary Of tho Dublin and Glasgow steam Packet
Company which curiously illustrates tho rigid
adherence of the ordinary English ofioai to
regulations, and his incapaoity to discover any
'cumstance which might sanction deviation
ON them. Corporal sInCr.AIn Of the Guards,
while In the last stage of consumption, was
refused adinittanoe into the cabin of one Of
thc Dublin and Glasgow steamers, on the ground
that IL was al.alnst the rules OF the company to
allow n cabin passage TO nof-commissionedo ON
cere or private soldiers so long as they wear the
Queens Uniform, although no objectioni is made
to admit persons of the lowest grade i'm civil
ian drcss. 30 the unfortunate man w0e obliged
to take a steeragc passage, the dlscomforts 81
which greatly aggravated the malady from which
he was suffering. In reply to q rcrnonstrance
from Col. FREEMANTfB against this inhuman-
ity, the Secretary of the company saye that Cor
porai SINCLAIR was informed that II he would
cover bis uniform with a civilian overcoat he
could obtain a cabin passage. But No the Corpofal
possessed no such garment the permission was Of
little avail, and he became a victim to red tape.
Tho absurdity Of the whole thing bccomes ap-
parent when It is considered that the shabbest
civilian In England could have obtained on this
occasion what was denied to abrave and deserv-
ing veteran.

The Bishop of Gloucester las recently
asserted that the Church Of England comprises
In reality but two parties, the High Church and
the Low Church the party known as the Broad
Church being deficient In numbers, influence,
ana the power of aggregation. In his opinion
the two great parties gradually drawing
together with a view to make common cause
against Socinlanism and other enemies Of tho
Establishment. This view Is said to be truo
only as respects the clergy, a great majority Of
whom, with some eminent exceptions, are suf-
hoiently orthodox to satisfy any ordinary, old
fashioned Churohman Hut with the laity the
case Is very different. The Broad Church in.
cludes many thousands of th0m, for the most
part intelligent and jealous men, who are
abundanily abe to establish party organiza-
ton which will one day make itself felt both In
church and state. The London Spectator de-
cla,es that the divergence between. the Angli-
can clergy aud lllty is at this moment greater
and more dangerous than between any two par
ties In tho'Church. The same is probably true
OF this country, although Broad Church doc
trines have not taken very deep root here among
the orthodox Protestant bodies.

There have been many conflicting no
counts regarding the amount Of religious tolera-
ton existing In japan at the present time, hut
II Is evident from the most trustworthy accounts
that a. yet entire religious freedom does not
exist there. Professor EDWARD HIrCHCocI uf
Amherst College, in a letter To the Springfield
Republican. says that while In Japan recently a
missionary pointed out and read to- him an ediot
Of the General Government, posted In public
place, forblddng any one to teach or hear any
one preach the religion II JESUS" He also says
that native was lately arrested and tried for
violating this edict. though his offence was only
teachlng the Japanese lang guage to IA missionary.
This man at the date of the letter had been con
fined to his house two months awaiting the
decision Of the Court. Professor HITCH
COCKS opinion is that the people are
losing their confidence in the old re-
llgion, and somewhat like bees with no
queen lie had visited several temples in the
vicinity Of Yeddo, and, with tho exception OF
one, there were unmistakAhle signs OF decay la
al OF them. Meanwhile, II Is said, the Govern
ment Is endeavoring to patch up the old system,
OF invent new one which shall satisfy the re-
ligious requirements Of the japanese, but as yot
nothing tangible In this direction has been mado

Obitu 0ry.

No saddtr outy than writing the obituary of d friend can be ours. The death of the good man, Mir. Joslen, recorded above, we cannot allow to pass without something more than the ordinary notice, however sad he the duty. Mir. Elias Josl, n Was born in Tyringham Massachusetts, and came to this town when five years old. We understand that with the exception of the past year spent with his daughter in Monterey. he has been resident of the town for seventy light years, quietly tilling his farm on the Housatonic in Wetaug. Our personal ac. quaintance with him has been comparatively short. In the summer of 70 he visited friends and relatives in this village, and being of that peculiarly genial disposition 'hat invariably invites to his acquaintance, friends. we soon became intimately ac quainted with him, and this acquaintance rapidly, yet almost unconsciously, riprned into an enduring friendship. On the occa. sion of his last visit to Salisbury about the first of December 1870. he was taken sick at MT. Glens' house with fever. He re- mained with Mir. Glens, who with his family nursed him with the greatest kindness and best or care about three months when he was able to go to his home in Wetaug, where he remained 8 or 4 weeks and then went to Monterey to visit his daughter, Mrs
 Ao"hSohu. ictSI never CntITeY 'eTL him, and although portion of the time able to be about, out doors &c., he was far from well, und continued in this condition till about two weeks before his death, hen he was suddenly attacked with kidney difficulty, and by that disease quickly taken away. To do justice to such a husband ans father, friend or man, as he was re- spectively regarded, our pen is far from heing adequate. As christian, he was one of the purrst. True and faithful in the discharge of every secular duty, if it be possible, he was truer and more faithful in the service of his Master. Thus has passed away one of the best men it ever became our fortune to meet.
 The funeral will be at MT. Townsands residence in Monterey, to day (Friday,) at | 1 o'clock. His remains will be brought to the cemetery in Wetaug, the procession arriving there at about 8 l-2 or 4 o'clock the same afternoon of the funeral

Life i'm a Printing Office.

Few people are aware of the inside work. lngs of printing office, nor of the annoy ances attendant upon the publication of a newspaper. It is impossible to form any thing like correct idea of the number of men there are in this and every community
 who make it point about every other time they meet you to tell you of some impor. tant fact that ought to be noticed by the paper, pro bono pu6lico. Generally, how ever, 1t turns out that the item referred ,o IS ore in which the informant has .an ax to grind, and the newspaper is to be the Tree horse on which he expects to ride into public notice and confidence. Or if no, that he is constantly annoyed by mutt plicity of communications, which are al ways lengthy, and contain nothing that anybody cares to see in print or know any thlng ot whatever, except the writer, and perhaps one or two other particular indi VIduals, and for whose exclusive benefit i, was written, it not for moment occurrinp to the writer that communications for a newspaper should be such as would interes, thousands of readers. The newspaper busi ness IS very exacting on all connected with it and the pay is comparatively small. The proprietors risk large amount of money Tor smaller profits, and the editors and printers work harder and cheaper than the same number of men in any other profes sion requiring the given amount of intelli gence and training. The life has it's charms and pleasant associations scarcely known to the outside world but it hes it's earnest work, and hours of exhaustion, which. like. wise, are not known to those who think the business all fun. The idea that news paperdom is the charmed circle where the favored members live life of ease. free from care, is mistaken one. Business is business and the journal that succeeds is the one that is run on a square business footing, with the same system as banding house.-Petl0 Blade.
