ner in which the private character OF our
fellow-citizen, Gov. b. Gratz Brown, has
been sssailed in the newspaper press, and
feeling that it has originated in miscon-
ception, and altogether is unjustifable,
would take this method OF put
Iicly stating, through your columns,
that we nave known Gov. Brown, some OF
us for long period Of years; that we have
been thrown in constant association with
him since he has filed the Executive chair
of this State, and that we have never seen
anything in bis department or actions IN
worthy of the position he fills. We have
never seen him under the influence Of
liquor, or inside of drinking saloon; but,
on the contrary, we are satisfied that for a
long time past be has been more than
;scrupulous in that respect, and assumed a
habit of general abstinence out of defer
encs to high sense of duty. We present
this attestation without respect to party, for
although many of US are opposed TO Gov.
Brown politically, we believe he is fully en-
titled to the fair name he has so well earn

The taxpaying citizens OF Newark are very
seriously excited just now over the financial
condition of the city. On Friday night,
during the proceedings OF the Com
mon Council, Alderman Macknet, Chairman
OF the Committee on Finance, started quite a
breeze by opposing further action in relation to
proposed street improvements, on the ground that
the city was going ahead too fast in this direction;
SO fast that it was longer able procure funds
to pay OF its Indebtedness. The city is now
in debt some two millions OF dollars,
and he, as Chairman OF the committee,
matters going. Hence he was opposed to going
any more into debt for expensive improvements
Council passed the ordinances he had opposed,
whereupon he peremptorily rendered his resig-
nation as head of the Finance Commit
Macknet said he could no longer serve.
These facts having got abroad created great ex-
ctement in business and private circles yesterday,
and gave rise to all sorts of rumors about the ap
preaching bankruptcy OF the city, &c. During the
afternoon the HERALD reporter visited the Mayor,
Mr.. Ricord, to obtain his view Of the situation. The
Mayor gave II as his opinion that the city was as
well able to pay its debts now as ever before.

An Important Tobacco suit-An Action
to Recover $735,644 for Breach Of Con-

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. I, 1872
from the Court OF Claims.-This suit was brought
by the appellants to recover s735,644 as damages
for an alleged breach OF contract for the purchase
of tobacco. The Court of Claims found that the
appellants were not the owners of the tobacco at
the time Of the contract made with the Treasury
agent, but purchased 1t within the rebel lines
thereafter, and that the contract was therefore
void under the Treasury regulations concerning the
purchase of products OF insurrectionary States.
The appeal insists that the contract is valid un-
lation must be construed as part OF the act, and
not authority varying It, The government
contends that the agent had no authority to nego-
tiate or anything not the property OF the contract

THE BANK STATEMENT.
The weekly statement OF the associated banks is
dnfavorable, owing to the locking up of greenbacks
by the operators at the Stock Exchange and the
withdrawal of legal tenders by the Treasury. The
small line OF foreign imports during the week has
enabled the banks to make gain In their specie

How Money is Made by Farming

Much labor is done on farms, that is
not farming in its true sense. BY such
labor no money is ever made. A man
may support himself and his family,
keep out of debt, and have few dol.
lars in his pocket by practising the most
stringent economy. If he is otherwise
than industrious aad sober, he is on the
down grade with loose brakes, and the
end is soon reached. But farming in its
true sense is profession equal to that
ofthe law or medicine, and needs equal
study, mental capacity and intelligent
ly directed labor to command success
in it. The principles which underlie
the practice of the true farmer must be
well understood, and steady, consist
ent course Of operations must be follow
ed. Having thoroughly learned the
nature and capacity of the soil he pos.
sesses, and chosen the rotation most
suitable, and the stock to be most pro.
dtably kept on it, he does not swerve
from his course, but in good markets
and bad raises his regular crops, and
keeps his land in regularly increasing
fertility. No special cry tempts or
affrights him.. He does not talk dairy
this season or crops the next, but doubt.
less, ifany particular product be in de-
mand and bring a good price, he has
some of it to sell and reaps share of
the advantage. He saves as much mon.
ey as some men make by care and
economy in purchasing and preserving
tools, seeds, manures, and machines,
and his business habits and constant
readiness for all occasions give him
reasonable security against the effects of
adverse seasons and bad weather. AL
ways prepared, he is never too late, and
always calm, he is never too soon, and
thus, taking time by the forelock, )" he
has the stern old tyrant at his COM
mand, and turns him at his will. He
has no losses, and his gains are steady.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1872-03-29
The Farmers Club.

The clubs to the farmer, old or young,
aschool. He is learning all the time how
to express his views clearly. The views
OF his neighbors draw out new thoughts
and expressions. Lawyers gain strength
by long years of study and then by
practice at the bar. The young lawyer
making his first speech is as miserable
and as awkward as the young farmer
making his first public effort. The law.
yer's business compels him to swallow
embarrassment and annoyance, and
goads him on to effort upon effort. The
young farmer, not feeling the necessity
Tor this, makes no further venture. The
lawyer goes on and becomes famous as
good talkor, and fine reasoner. The
same practice would have made the
young farmer as good q talker, and a
stronger, more efficient worker in his
field Of duty. The experiences of well
educated farmers, bring this skill and
strength. We advise the organization
OF township clubs on the simplest plan.
Arrange the meetings to suit the con.
Venience of all parties, and le. the at
tendance be as regular as church going

Pigs.

Young, growing pigs should have
apoundanco ofnutritIous food ,and warm
dry, comfortable quarters. Feed three
times day, and as much as, and no
more than, they will eat up clean. Our
own plan is to cook the food, halfcorn.
meal and halfbran, and feed warm. Our
breeding sows at this season get nothing
Dut bran soaked in water, and we do not
give them quite all they will eat, fed
twice day Wesoak the bran in warm
water about twelve hours, and get some
OF the milky water out of the bran tomix
with the cooked food for the little pigs.
The bran is still nutritious enough for
o'd sows that have nothing to do but
live, while the young, growing pigs
need as much easily disgested, nutritious
lood as they can assimilate. Pigs well
Uttered make great quantity of man. A..
ure. We clean out the wet and soiled
part OF the bed every day, and put ia n
little fresh straw The butts of corn
stalks, left by the sheep and cattle, we
put into pig.pens at the bottom of the
pen and cover them with straw. They
serve to keep the pen dry and save much
straw. When pigs are shut up it is ex.
ceedingly important to have the pens
well ventilated.-Es.
