1t may not be matter of news to
many Of our readers, that HORACE
GREELY died at his residence in New
York, on the Goth nit. But it is a
matter of surprise to ala sad and en-
tirely unlocked for event. 1t is, never
theless, true, and nation mourns bis
l,ss- to-day. while nothing less than the
whole civilized world recognizes his
greatness, and pays a fitting tribute to
his memory. Yea the heart of the
Nation is sad -eayy has lost its pun
sgcncy, and grief pervades the Cottage,
the mansion and the palace. A truly
great and good man has died, and his
virtues will now st, nd out in bold re-
lief, shining with new lustre as we gaze
upon each and every new reflection.
All the excitement--all the bitter
ness Of the past will soon be forgotten
Yea, they are already forgotten. ami
naught but his virtues will be remem-
bered. The late tribute of.the Ameri-
can people to HORACE GREEDY, did
not say that they loved him less, but
their country, aud its Preserver more.
1t was no mark OF dishonor, nor yet the
result of malice. 9a9
For weeks and months this sad event
will occupy the hearts, the heads and
the souls of the pest men and the best
women of this country. They will
again and again con over his precepts
and weigh his words of wisdom. His,
name will go down to posterity as one.
of the great men Of his age. 10 be re-
vered by the present, and respected by
coming generations. He wrote his own
epitaph, and the next century will not
obliterate it.

at the fountain, and he who was so re-
Gently the light and the joy of social
hours. has now departed from our
midst. We miss him here tonight
we miss him in our daily intercourse
with the world, and long will there be
vacant place in our circle Of friends.
But We all have high hopes for the
future, whatever may be the fate of our
friends. We share those hopes and we
hope and expect to live to see a "Gold-
en- Wedding" at which we may then
see many who are now present. And
now thanking you sincerely, we most
cordially welcome you here tonight"
Thus saying our friends received the
handsome presents bestowed upon them,
and returned to join in the social happi-
ness that surrounded them on every
side 1t was not an hilarious occasion,
or one of loud mirth, but it was an oc-
casion of quiet checrfulness, of sober
reflection and hopeful, yet retrospective
as well as anticipated joy.
At a seasonable hour came tho
bountifil repast, consisting of the usual
variety Of sandwiches minus the
witch may be-a goodly variety of
pies, cakes, cheese, pickles, tea, coffee,
and, in short, all of the delicacies hsu-
ally furnished upon such an occasion.
At this juncture the company rtsolv-
ed itselfinto several different groups or
knots, when each party discussed the
merits of the plates, and merry jokes
went round.
This is among the first occasions Of
the kind in our village, but we hope not
the last Custom brings the tin wed.
ding at ten years. the glass-the brittle,
doubtf, glass wedding at fifteen, the
beautiful china at twenty, the silver
wedding at twenty FIVE, and the golden
at City.
These things are proper as monitors
as beacon lights to the mariner, and as
safeguards against divorces. AS at
tachment increases with years, SO the
cords of affection that bind us together
as husbands and wives, become stronger
with age. 1t is well to commemorate
these epochs.

HOves W.. Fierce.

In the matter Of iiowes u.s. Pierce
relative to the County Jud seship, the
jury gave the office to 2. D. Pierce.
This was an unusually interesting
case. since it involved. not only the
rights of the contestants, but the rights
of the electors.
According to the official canvass, Mr.
Pierce had 49,, and Mr.. Howes 734
votes. The Court ruled in oac vote
for Mr.. Howes, in the city of Prescott,
which was rejected by the inspectors.
The Court also held that Isabelle was
not annexed to Hartland by the order
of the Board of Supervisors, and, con,
sequently, that the four votes cast in
Hartland by the men living in Isabelle,
were illegal. This reduced Mr.. Pierce s
vote to 1873.
Next. the Court held that a Deputy
Clerk of the Circuit Court, could not
issue the naturalization papers Of an al.
len. Hence the vote OF David McNoah
and one other alien who voted for Mr..
Howes, was rejected, leaving Mr.
Howcs even with MIR, Pierce. the former
holding over. 20 far as an outsider
could discover.
But there was another wrinkle still,
on the horn Of this dilemma. Mr.. Pierce
had set up and doubles proved tina,
there were two illegal votes cast in
Ellsworth besides that of McNoah's
And now came horse to be shaved.
Although Pierce proved that they were
cast for Howes, Howes in turn proved
Just as clearly that both were cast fol
Pierce
To a casual observer, without taking
into consideration the technicalties Of
the law, it would seem that these mel
we're tied at the outset, since it wa,
shown that three votes cast for Mr..
TTowes in Prescott, were rejected b,
the inspectors, thus giving each Of the
candida es seven hundred and thirty
seven votes.
In our view of the matter, technical
tiles aside, if those two so-called Stave
town votes were both east for Mr.
Pierce, Mr. Howes is entitled to Office
On the other hand, If those two votes
we're cast for AIR. Howes, then, Just as
clearly should Mr.. Pierce hold thai
Office.
We are thankful that this fact wai
for the jury to find, and not for US. fol
We are frank to say that in view o.
the testimony on both sides, we should
have boon quite unequal 10 she emar.

NEW USE FOR CATS.
Correspondence OF Land and Wat,


1t often appears to me that people for the
most part are not aware Of the great use
cats are to is. OF course we know of their
use with respect to mice and rats, hut do
we generally know of the invaluable helD
they can give US in protectln0 f. Nd.
bss- ~ and flowers? The late
--,s rains this spring have given US the
promise of abundance of strawberries, and
in the South, at least, the bloom is magnif
cent. To keep off the birds how simple, how
certain, how small is the cost of cat on
small chain sliding on wire, and giving the
animal the walk up and down the whole
length Of the strawberry beds. A knot at
each end of the wire readily prevents the
cat from twisting round the post which sup
ports the wire, and small kennel placed in
the middle of the walk affords her shelter
and home for her kittens. In large gard
ems second cat is required, and the young
ones in their frequent visits to each other
assist in soaring away the birds. have for
more than thirty years used with perfect
success this easy method of protecting
fruit, and the very same plan is equally
good in keeping hares and rabbits OF flower
beds. After the first few days cats in no
way dislike this partial restraint, and when
set quite free, after few weeks watching,
they will Of their own accord continue on
guard. The kittens, more especially, attach
themselves to this garden occupation, and
Of their own accord become the gardeners
best allies. ~. ..... .

Why do the debilitated and feeble dread the
summer? 1t is because heat is an exhahsting
element, ard they are not in q condition to bear
the new drain upon their languid systems, which
they think must necessarily commence with tho
warm weather. But cannot this evil be OhviasedP
Most Individually 1t can. What these Beaklings
need---in fact, what nine-tsnths of Us need at
this seasons an accession Of physical vigor,
and this desideratum can be secured, with ALSO
lutte certainty, by course Of the mightlest, yet
mildest, o. all vegetable tonics, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. l - -.
Thousands OF men Of business, mechanics and
professional men, break down, partially orWhOl-
ly, under their summer lsbors, simply because
they have neglected to reinforce the powers Of
nature in this way. To persons who use the eele-
brated inVigOrant and corrective regularly in hot
weather, the exhaustion which excessive heat is
apt to produce under other circumstances, Il un-
known. They are not troubled with nausea, their
appetites are good, their digestion excellent and
their habit OF body all that can be desired. This
for twenty years has been the uniform testimony
OF al who have taken the Bitters as a summer
tonic and Alternative. Its efficacy is due to the
care and scrupulOus fidelity to the teachings of
experimental science, with wEich its medicinal
ingredients have been culled from the vegetable
kingdom, the admirable proportions in which
they are combined, and the unequalled purity of
its stimulatiVe basis. je1s decd1w6w1t Sop

As a top dressing for fruit trees, vines.
grain crops or garden crops of any sort, on
ground that has been somewhat exhausted
by cultivation, the preparation described
below viii be found very useful. 1t would
improve the mixture, however, to add to
the ashes about q peck of good, newly
slacksd iine, which would bring the potash
Of the ashes to a 'cahstic state, and
enable it more speedily to soften and
dissolve the bones, which, when lime is
thus used, need not be necessary in the alb
sence of quickllme. With its use in this
way, and with a sufficiency of good I'M
leached wood ashes, the bones, which have
merely been cracked up with a hammer,
may easily be softeped,
Take Gne barrel of pure, finely ground
bone, and mix it with a barrel of good
wood ashes; during the mixing, add, gradu-
ally, three pailfuls of water. The heap
may be made upon the floor; and, by the
use of the hoe, the bone and ashes must
be thoroughly blended together. The water
added is Just sufficient to Hberate the calls-
tic alkalies, potash and soda; and these re-
act upon the gelatine Of the bone, dissolv-
ing the little atoms, forming a kind ofsoap,
and fitting it for plant aliment. 1t must be
used in small quantities, or in about the
