HY0MT On TIE FAKm.

Travellers in Germany testify that the
most success farm laborers in that coun-
try are women. In every field they may
seen plowlng, using the hoe and rake and
gathering the crop, while the men are more
frequently seen about the beer gardens, or
in eelar's wagon. The negro women of
the South before their freedom were as
GOOD in the cotton and tobacco fields as the
men, but since the war they prefer to sit
in their houses, and rely upon the work of
their husbands for support. A charming
correspondent OF the Western Rural ad-
dressing her letters to "Dear Susan"
says:
I have been over TO the Switzer farm this
week, and had a nice visit with those very
practical farmers. They have large
Ala, aud it is carried on entirely by the
irls-it does seem that they carry their
idea of woman's labor somewhat farther
than is necessary, or than American women
can endure; but those roundfaced, pleasant
spoken German girls, seem to lose nothing
in health or womanly dignity. They are
able TO hire but there are so many Of them
with no other employment, that they prefer
IN do the most themselves. l can see a
woman on a reaper or seed drill, and think
n a fine thing, but when / see her swing an
AK, or hold plow, my Yankee education
takes exceptions to the position. l have,
however, seen educated and accomplished
women DO both, and lose none Of their
grace or refinement, and some of our best
settlers in new States are performing the
most labOrious portions of farm work,
though they are not physically qualified for
such endurance.
The best farmers are those, who, by fore
thought and calculation, raise the most
profitable crops who consider the condi-
ton of their land, its adaptabilty to certain
erops, and the demand for such produce.
This requires thought, reflection and COM
parison, and can be done as well by wo-
man as q man. She cannot attend so many
farmers gatherings, out she can read as
many good agricultural papers, and talk
with her intelligent nelghbors, and renem-
Der ideas and experiments, and thus become
a successful agriculturist. The zeal phys
ical lab n, she may employ man to per
form. aud she will be none the less the
farmer. A succession of grain, clover, and
planted crops, with liberal applications OF
Fertilizers, is necessary to secure the great
est profit fromSall lands, be they gravel
sand, or clay.
l feel sure that in few years many valu.
able farms will be conducted solely by Wo-

The NIiners, Mntinx.

MILWAUKEE, May 21.-A special from
from HoughtoD, Michigan, says: Seven
prisoners were arrested Saturday night and
lodged in jail. While arrests were being
made the miners gave three groans for the
sheriff and officers of the mine and three
cheers for the soldiers. No resistance was
made by those arrested. Bail to the amount
of twenty thousand dollars has been offered
for the release of the prisoners, but not &C
cepted.
1t is thought that by Wednesday Calu-
met and Hecla mines will be at work again.
Mr.. AgaSsiz, President of these mines, ar
rived here to-day, and will either start the
miners to work or eject them from their
houses at once. Should the latter be the
case, it is hard to say what the result
would be with the other mines, as
all those now at work are waiting
the issues of Calumet and Hecla strike.
The strikers resumed their labors with the
understanding that they should receive
whatever was agreed upon by the Calumet
and Hecla mines. The reporter at Calumet
reports everything quiet there except some
few soldiers and Irishmen slightly under
the influence of ardent spirits.

MILAN, Gibson County Tenn, May, 1872.
Il have seen quite a number of commit
nications in your valuable paper In regard
to fence law, and al Of them, (if my
memory is correct, advocates the doctrine
OF no fence, except A. B., of Indian Mound,
Stewart county. Now, not only myself,
but a large number of others endorse
nearly every thing be wrote upon that
subject, and besides. those mentioned by
him, there are number Of other neon
veniences and disadvantages that would
attend the no fence principle. For instance:
it would not only legislate the poor renter,
(white or colored) from the privilege Of
raising stock, but would legislate him out
Of the State, to some other, where land
holders are perhaps not so particular about
stock wandering on their forest as some of
your correspondents are. But say some,
the larger class of renters are too poor
TO move away. Well, admit that to
be fact, what then would be result of their
remaining? 1t would be when he could
raise no hogs for bis family to eat, or other
stock for his use and sustenance, as natural
consequence. he would turn on his landlords
or neighbOrs stock which is penned ready for
his convenience, and consequently they
would be nuisance to the country instead
of an advantage. But, say some, we have
penitentiaries, etc, for such. Be It so. The
old adage Of catching before hanging, bears
good in this case. Now, Messrs. Editors,
you invite immigration to, your State, you
tell the poor man that vast quantities of
cleared land are lying idle every year,
which is a fact. Pass the fence law
and the poor man if he i'm |
migrates at all will pass around |
or may be through your State, to some
other, and the acreage of cleared land un-
cultivated will increase many fold In your |
State. If the large, or even small, land |
holder wants to raise clover or grass on their |
farms to have fine cattle, hogs, ETC., 1 for |
one, at least, commend them for it, and |
wish them much success, for it is the'yery |
thing they need in this part Of the State. |
But by all that is just, right, honorable or
don't deprive the renter of the |
long and time-honored privilege of turning |
their little stock into the forest, if they may |
wish it. 1t is certainly true we need re-
form in great many things, but, as A. B. |
Of Stewart, correctly remarked, ''all change /
IS not reform" and it certainly is the duty |
Of all citizens to ponder well all the adVan- |
ages or disadvantages that may accrue |
rom any change in law of such long
standing as this is. Now if the renters little
low jumps over your bad or low fence or
lis hog creeps through where rail has
'otted out, don't "pucker up" and condemn
he whole system as bad, but put more rails
IN your fence, and new one in the place
# the rotten one. Have all your dead or
allen timber in your forest got up and cut
nto frewood. Make manure and reclaim
our worn out fields, and cultivate them in
tead of clearing up more of your forest,
nd many generations will pass away before :
hey will have any need for fence law.

SURVEYING AND EXPLORING Eek.
PEDITION TO TEXAS.

A large and wealthy company, called
the Texas Land and Copper Mining Asso-
citation, was recently organized in Washing
ton, D. c., having for its object the devel-
opment of the mining interests of Texas.
The capital of the company is largely fur
nished abroad, and the name of Tom Scott
and four foreign ministers appear upon its
roll of stock takers. Among the names on
the directory are Admiral Porter, Jay
Cooke & Co., Riggs q Co., and Kennedy &
Sons of New York city.
This association has organized, equipped
and started forward for Texas; under the
military protection Of the government, a
large and effective corps of surveyors. W.
@. McCarty, of Texas, commands the ex-
petition. The balance of the corps con-
sists the following:
l.. 81. Chandler, business agent.
D. Peters, assistant business agent.
Prof. Blake, New Haven, geologist and
miping engineer
and mining engineer.
DR.. Oscar LOen, chemist.
Capt. S. Q. Plummer, chief engineer.
Capt. B. 5. Humphrey, assistant engi-
neer.
CapJs .. MODULUS, surveyor.
John S. Brown, commissary.
G. K. White, wagon master.
ChSs. Lewis, craftsman.
A G. Troutman, photographer.
VIM. Cooper, assistant photographer.
DR.. Johnston, physician.
Five chain carriers.
The expedition is to proceed from St.
Louis to Jaeksboro, Texas, about 100 miles
south of Red river. There they will pro-
cure government escort, 100 strong, and
proceed to business. They viii explore the
head-waters of the Brazos and Big Witch
tia rivers to the northwest of Jacksboro,
thence prospect southweSterly across the
great stsked plains to the Rio Grande, and
ultimately, perhaps, to San Diego. 1t is
well known that Texas is rich in mineral.
Copper and coal exist in vast deposits; iron
lead, tin, nickel, cobalt, zinc, antimony,
sulphur, salt, ETC., etc., are said to abound.
The object of this expedition is to .develop
the existence Of these deposits if possible.
They viii also take noteof marble, granite,
limestone, or porphyry quarries or other
useful building material, and will, when
their labors are complete, undoubtedly be
able to give to the world deal of valuable
information concerning the hidden re-
sources of Texas.

PREHISTORIC REMAINS.
Interesting Discoveries in a Meigs
County (OhIO) Cave.

OOuAty (On1O) cave.
From the Pomeroy Co.) Telegraph.
Having a little leisure time at our dis
posal few days since, we visited the sim
gular cave described by Rutland CORE
spondent in the Telegraph few weeks
since. 1t is situated on the farm of Mr.,
John Bradford, q little east of the road
leading from Pomeroy to Rutland, and
about two and a half miles distant from
Pomeroy. The cave is not dissimilar to
those which can be found all about this re-
gion at the ravines, or rather where streams
head up AGAINST the sandstone ledge which
lies above the coal strata. Generally, III
such cases, there is a stream of water coming
down from the hillside and falling over the
rock oVerhanging the cave. In the cave in
question there is sufficient space beneath
the oVerhanging rock to afford shelter to at
least hundred men in a rain or other
storm. From its appearance we judge that
1t has sometimes been used by d barbarous
people as a dwelling place, probably for
long series OF years, as the quantity of wood
ashes deposited there is enormous. We
saw hole dug in the bed at least four fest
in depth, without reaching the bottom.
Animal bones abound all through this de-
post, wherever it has been penetrated,
among which those of the deer can fire.
quently be recognized. We were shown
one bone which had evidently once been
in the leg of huge bird, to which
there is still attached huge
spur, somewhat similar to those of a game
cock. Human remains have only been
found in one place, where three corpses APP
pear to have been buried side by side, their

the surface, and that in the ashes. Some
pieces Of pottery, of a. peculiar kind were
brought up by the same blow of the mat
took that brought forth human skull,
leading the man who was engaged in the
work to suppose that the skull had been
encased in the pot at the time of burial.
We have number of pieces of this pottery
now in our office. 1t is totally unlike any
pottery we have ever seen. 1t is of dark
color, almost black, and seems to
have been formed of a cement of
some kind. When broken it shows little
particles resembling mica. Clay seems to
have formed no part of the materials enter
ing into its composition. 1t is much harder
than ordinary pottery, and evidently much
more durable. AT one end of the cave was
q mortar, excavated in a hard sandstone
rock from the upper strata, and parties who
had been familiar with the place before it
was known to contain such deposits say
that stone pestle was found there few
years ago, in immediate proximity to the
mortar. We are informed that Mr.. Brad
ford designs cleaning out the cave for the
purpose of enriching his land with the de-
post Of ashes and bones, in which case,
doubtless. some further light may be gained
in regard to the habits of those who once
the place.

WALL STREET DIGGINGS.
LabOrers Strike q Rich Lead ON the
Site of an Old Bank.

From the New York Sun, May II.
A. j. Drexel & Co., bankers in Philadel-
phia, late purchased the lots and buildings
on the southeast corner of Broad and Wall
streets, for the purpose of erecting thereon
one Of the most magnificent buildings in
United States. It will be built of white
marble, six stories in height, with profuse
ornaments in statuary. 1t will extend 1872
feet on Wall street and 109 on Broad street.
Yesterday while the laborers were dig
ging up the dirt and debris from the spot
where brokers' Office was located, on the
Wall street side, Thomas Quinn struck a
hard substance with his shovel, and on
turning it over found it to be buckskin bag
of coin. Hastily opening it, and seeing
that it contained gold, be looked around,
pale and excited, opened his shirt, thrust
the bag in, and ran away, leaving his coat
and shovel behind. He has not. been seen
since.
Mike McAnee, driver of Garry's cart,
who was shovelling dirt at the moment,
noticed Quinn's movements. After the
latter ran away, McAnee stirred up the
ground, and found great number of gold
and silver coins Of various denominations.
BE filed all his pockets before others dis
covered his motions. Then there was
rush and a yell for the DeWly-disceyered
gold mine. The laborers on the FONDA
ton made a general scramble, and for a
few minutes there was sight seldom be-
held. They pushed, and fought, and ours
ed over the spoils until all became we'll
nigh frantic. Some were unfortunate
enough to fail in getting any of the prec-
ious store, while others made good haul.
McAnee started with bis load over the
Jersey ferry to Communipaw, where the
dirt is dumped. The laborers there sifted
his load with their fingers, and were re-
warded by finding SAT 40.
Where the coin was first found, John
Dexter secured seventeen fiYe-franc gold
pieces, of the date of 1882. Charles Storms,
foreman of the gang, picked up $27 in gold
and silver. Michael Gilmartin got $l3 in
silver. Tom Murray, the calcium-light
man, got several old Spanish silver dollars,
aud Jim Larkin found a number of old
Spanish coin of 1904. Mike Malloy secured
a handful of coin, and others found soppers
and fractional specie in various amounts.
Jerry T. Smith procured a number of
pieces, and distributed them among friends.
Mr.. John Gelston, who has done business
in the neighborhood nearly half century,
presents theory as follows About thirty
five years ago the Merchants Bank, rebuilt
on this present site, temporarily occupied
building in Broad street that abutted u
Wall street. During the removal bag of
gold in French coinage, containing $1,000,
was lost. Mr.. Gelston, thinks the bag of
gold found may be the one lost by the bank
and that il was thrown down this chimney
from the adjacent building for cencealment,
it being afterward inaccessible to the thief.

OBERLIN.
Anti-secrct Societies.

OBERLIN, May 21.-The National
Christian Association opposed to the sec
ret societies assembled at the Second Con-
gregational church at P. NJ, and was call
ed to order by President ]. Blanchard of
Wharton, III. Breef address of welcome
was offered by President Fairchild, of
Oberln college, in which he assured the
delegates that they would here find sympa-
thy with opposition to secret societies,
though they might not find perfect sympa-
thy with their method.
Fifteen States are represented. The fol-
lowing resolution was passed:
That this Association take a recess at 10
A. NJ. tomorrow, and that the opposes of
secret orders at once organize mass meet
ing on National Political action; that said
meeting go at once into Committee of the
Whole on the subject, and speeches of FIVE
minutes each be had from all who desire to
be heard; and in case National Political
action be resolved on a committee be APP
pointed on platform and candidates.
