The subject Of hiring farm labor by the hour
is attracting attention the best method Of set
tlipg the number OF hours that shall constitute

men for the time they are actually engaged, and
nothing for rainy days and the time they are
standing still. correspondent of the Rural

keep three men II usually one by the month.
The men hire by the day usually have families
to support. When paid them by the day, with
out any understanding as to its length. they arri-
we'd late or early, as was convenient for them.
Now that pay by the hour, they generally
want to work full as many heurs as need them
but II they do not, they know that they get paid
only for the work they do and il they do not
regard my wishes somewhat, laboring until tho
work is accomplished. they feel very certain thal
I shall hire some one who will stick by me and

work, regardless Of the number of hours, il they
are sure Of bsing paid proporlonately, as they
are by the hour system. Think we shall adopt
the same rule in reference to household help

An investigation has been lately made into the
character Of the water furnished by the differ
ent companies Of London. A comparison was
made with a sample Of London sewerage which
bad been allowed to soak through five feet OF
earth, which developed the interesting fact that
the sewerage contains smaller portion Of injur.
ous elements than the drinking water. A com
parison was made with samples Of water taken
from fifty condemned wells, and the water OF
only two OF them contained a large proportion oi
organic impurities than that for use by three Of
the principal companies. Only two companies, Il
was found. furnish pure water. The develop
ments at the examination have aroused consid-
cradle interest, and the citizens are not unnatur.
ally startled to find out what they have beer
drinking.

Good Rule. for Fnrmer..

The following are among the rules adopted by
the proprietor Of large livery stable IN this
city; First, no man will be employed who
drinks intoxicating liquor; his men. like his
horses, must drink water-cold water only.
Second, no man must speak loud to any Of the
horses. or in the stable where they are. Horses
of good blood are nervous, and loud, excited
conversation is felt by every horse in the stable
who hears il. Excited words addressed to one
horse are felt by every other horse who hears
them, and keep them all nervous and uneasy,
Third, no man may use profane language In the
hearing of the horses. They are gentlemen's
horses, and understand what profane language
and the excited tones which accompany it mean.

The Vacant senalorshIp.

The Republicans of Montgomery County met
in Convention at Norristown, yesterday, and pro-
posed Daniel H. Mulvany, Esq, as the candi-
date for the State Senatorship, left vacant by
the death Of Henry 8. Evans. This nomination,
OF course, is not final, though we think it highly
probable that the conferees may, upon consul
tation, ratify Montgomery's choice.
Mr.. Mulyany is lawyer of high standing al

for Congress in his District in opposition to the
Democracy, and is a gentleman of ability cul-

STILL sLUMBERING.

The Contract Ordinance was not so much as
mentioned, in Council, last evening, though this
may have been in consequence Of the fact that
Col Finegan, who introduced ii, was absent. A
variety of other business was considered and
disposed Of, including many matters much less
important than the question whether Councilmen
should send in bids for work under their own
control, and let themselves contracts, to be paid
for by the people.
The repose which this ordinance enjoys is too
sound, and too protracted for natural sleep.
We fear some one has been giving it an opiate

The campaign in New Hampshire wakes hct
and interesting The Republicans are sending
it their best stump speakers from all parts Of
the country the democrats are flooding the
State with the anti-Grant speeches Of Summer,
Trumbull and Schurz and, in short, both sides
are working like beavers. The full vote OF the
State will be brought out this time but what
with the defections OF the old radicals Of the
Sumner school, and what with the labor and

Some Candid Words.

The following from one of our citizens and
war democrat, who is we'll known from his
connection with the recent temperance reform
movement in this city, states his position
squarely and candidly.
have always been a democrat; have al
ways voted the democratic ticket; was war
democrat, not only in words but in deeds. l
put on the uniform of the 'boys in blue"
shouldered my musket and marched to the
front. followed Grant through the Wilder
ness to Petersburg and joined in the grand
rejoicing of the Union army at the surrender
of Lee at Appomattox. 1 now find that the
democratic party have forsaken or forgotten
their old platform, have buried all old issues
and are making this campaign simply ANY
thing to beat Grant" When find that all
the rebels in the South and all the democrats
in the North, who during the war sympa-
thized with the South, who used to say to the
Union soldiers when home sick leave.
You think niger as good as white man."
"the Id niggers are the cause of this war;"
''You are one of Lincoln's hireings," "You
can't whip the South" &c., and hand and
glove, body and soul, working together to
beat Grant, am constrained once more to
enlist in the Union army, with Grant for
leader, and help him to achieve one more and
final victory over all the foes of the Union in
November next. Asa good soldier, do not
propose to waste any ammunition, conse-
quently l shall vote for Perham next Mon
day, one shot now being as good as two in
November. CURTIS HIGGINs.
