I'LL A. Taylor has II new factory not noted
here that will run 10000 bushels this year.

and we find the make of these twenty
two factories last year to have been
1862 tons. The other fourteen fac
tories in the county doubtless increas-
ed this amount to above $500 tons.
But this is above an average. The
twenty-five factories this year arc
likely to make about |, 02l tons-the
others not here noted III the vicinity
of 400 tons. But the statement
holds true that he production in the
county is to he only trihe more than
half that a year ago. The reason for
the falling off is that the acreage in
most localities is less and that the
yield per acre is also ligIit-perlaps
more to the latter than the former
cause.
We hear of the sale already of n
number of tons at Eve cents per
pound. but those sales were made
some time ago-lnost Of them before
anything was known concerning The

fear on account of q gallon can of
nitro-glycerine which is buried some
where in the public square, no one
knows exactly where. 1t was placed
there just before the evacuation of
the place, during the war, and was,
doubtless, intended to aid materially
in Kidding the world of Yankees, 1t
failed in Its purpose, however, and
when tic war was over nobody could
tell the spot OF its burial. No one
dares to dig for it, for no one cares
TO die before his time, and the nhab-

policy Is to ''hold it" for the present /:
The average annual pro luctlou OF

eleven thousand tons; that Of this
year, about two thousand tons.
But this is a kind of "off year" and
1t is estimated that the production
will not exceed seven Thousand tons

than thousand tons for Franklin

The Brantford Courier is responsible for
the following; gentleman on Besserer
street last week tried an experiment which
he says has completely cured his wife Of
jealousy. He says he was subject to q
nightly curtain lecture from his better half
at time when he wished to be wrapped In
the arms of Morpheus, for returning an af-
lection for an old lady friend. He bore 1t
for several nights with Christian-like resig-
nation, but he ut last devised plan for put
ting an end to- 1t. He procured piece of
wood formed In the shape of human being
and dressed II In some OF his wifc's wardrobe.
and then placed It In the garden, sitting In
IN iron Chair. To this craven Image he
knelt down and poured forth impas.ioned
addresses. The servant girl was standing at
the kitchen door at the time, and overheard
these appeals She Immediately notified her
mistress of the fact. Presently both of them
emerged from the kitchen, armed with
broomsticks, and make an attack upon the
dummy woman" while the husband, who
had retired In good order, sat at the back
enjoying the scene. After knocking the i'm
age over, they pounced upon and tore the
clothing into rags. They soon discovered
the cheat, and rushed back into the house,
terribly mortified. The husband followed
them, and said exasperating things. When
ever she shows any disposition to be Jealous,
he has only To mention that little scene In
the garden, and she changes the topic. The
servant has been induced TO go TO the States,

A FEW DAYS 400 Mr.. White,aw Reid deliy'-
cred On address at Amherst College on the
subject Of the duty Of "scholars to their coun-
try" The address, which was printed 10 the
Tribune Thursday last, Ia severely handled
by the New York Times. That journal says:
1--WE have seldom scen more big words
crammed into three columns, or more school
boyish ideas, or more plagiarisms, or more
singular collection OF wind bags" And,
further on, "any decently educated boy Of
fifteen would deserve TO be soundly thrashed
for writing his theme in the frothy style
which Mr.. Whitelaw Reid appears to think
is tho new and progressive order OF COM
position" This Is very severe criticism
one that we think Is hardly deserved. Mr..
Reid did the best he could under the circum-
stances, and the Times makes q mistake in
expecting from him the vigor Of Greeley,
the culture of Bryant or the incisivenes; OF
a Raymond. He did remarkably well con.
sidering his opportunities and advantages
The fact is that the Times expects too much
from Mr.. Reid. Because certain vile men

by NO means follows that he should have
the brains and intellectual resources thai
his late chief possessed. Mr.. Reid Is, In
many respects, one Of the most remark
able of the young men In American journal
ism. BY the skillful use of dinners at the
Union League club and judiclous nattery
of those who had the means and the oppor
tunity to help him, he has won his way tc
the control OF what was short time ago thu
greatest paper in America. There is som,
merit in this, and the Times should recognize
It.. He did not rise as Raymond and Creole,

and integrity. He has erawled to the heights

THE HAND OF Mr.. SCHUYLER CoLFAx
seems to have lost Its cunning. On the Fourth
of July he made speech at St. Joseph,
Michigan, on the ruling question, viz the
railroad question. This Of all other topics
Of public thought and discussion was the one
which Mr. Colfax should have specially and
particularly avoided. The less he says about
railroads the better; for behind all his plausi'

THE Chicago Tribune Is worried at the
prospect that the farmers Of the Northwest
are looking to the Republican party, rather
than to the Democratic or the Liberal Repub-
lican, for the redress Of the grievances under
which they labor. The Tribune had hoped
that the movement could be so skillfully
directed as to be made powerful
engine in the disruption Of Republicaplsm.
The farmers are too shrewd to be fooled
and humbugged by journals like the Tribune
aud by politicians like Mr.. Horace White, who
are merely endeayoring to advance their own
selfish interests. The Republican party Is, we
honestly believe, the only party from which
reforms need be expected. It has done
many things which 1t should not have done;
many of Its leaders have proven themselves
unworthy of trust and confidence; but, take
1t all and oil, no party In the world, In any
age, has ever made noblcr or better record

comes 1t will be found ready and willing tc
meet and deal with this Western problem rs

SEVERAL of our contemporaries Of the Lib
eral Republican and Democratic stripe are
Just now complaining of what they are
pleased to call the interference OF the Admin
istration in State politics. We do not know
that there is any ground for the charge; but,
supposing that 1t is true, there Is precedent
for 1t in every administration from the very
beginning of the Government. 1t was so
under Washington. Andrew Jackson founded
newspaper in this city, and through Its
columns dictated to his political friends
the policy which he expected them to
support, not only In national but In
State politics. To come down to Mr.. Lin
coin, the administration used every lawful
and legitimate means to carry even county
elections. III view Of all these facts, what Ii
the use OF denouncing General Grant now,
| because, as the leader Of the Republican
party, he has his own preferences for men
and measures In State politicsi Interference
\ 10 State politics has always been exercised to
certain extent, and is entirely justifabe
and proper. When the result Of an election
is heralded as a victory or defeat for an Ad-
ministration, the Administration Is certainly
entitled to protect and defend ITSELF and use
every lawful means to advance the. interests
Of Its friends and supporters.
