1t is desirable that manufacturers
have the orders as soon as possible, that
they may be supplied without delay.
Mowers and reapers, sewing machines,
drills, wheel-rakes, cultivators, and all
that class of machinery and fertilizers,
can be purchased to great advantage
through the grange 1t should be borne
in mind, also, that none but members
of the order can avail themselves OF this
advantage throughthe grange. I'm
doubtedly this order will exert
powerful influence in solving the great
question of transportation, and in break
ing down the great monopolies of the
country; but have no space here for
comments on those questions.
It is desirable that at least one or two
oranges be organized in every town in
the State, and that the oranges should
be as full as possible, in order to give
them strong, vigorous, and healthy
existence. The larger the number of
members, the larger the benefits to be
derived financially, as the orders for
machinery and supplies will be cor
respondingly larger. Oranges should
no be organized within three miles of
each other, except in very thickly-settled
llStIICIS. IU Ittl lllllSS uOu lCSo oioh hiiiO
men and four women and not more than
twenty men and ten women as charter
members, to organize a grange.
Parties wishing to organize a grange
will please send me a list of the names
proposed for charter members, and /
will place the matter in the hands OF
the proper officers, who will at once in
stitute the grange for them. The fees
for charter members are SO for men and
fifty cents for women. Initiation fees
for members after the organization of
charter members are So for men, and 81
for women. All ceremony is dispensed
with in the organization, and the char
ter members are instructed in the work.
All persons who are interested in agri-
culture are eligible to membership.
The next meeting of the New York
State Grange will be held in Albany on
the third Wednesday of March, and it
is desirable that every town should be
fully organized by that time, as the
officers then to be elected willhold their
offices for the term of two years. The
press of this State will confer favor by
giving this letter the benefit of their
circulation.

A Chill! aid Fever DESTROYER.

A--aN~a sor>7rr, mas IuveIy been addressed
to the French Academy o.. Sciences bya
NJ. Gimbert, who has been long en-
gagged in collecting evidence concerning
the eucalyptus globulats, a tree of ex-
traordinarily rapid growth, which attains
huge dimensions, and appears to pos
sess an extraordinary power of destroy
ing miasmatic influence in fever-strick-
en- districts. It has the singular
property of absorbing ten times its
weight of water from the soil, and of
emitting antiseptic camphorous effiuvia.
When sown in marshy ground it will
dry it up i'll a short time.
The English We're the first to try it at
the Cape, and within two or three years
they completely changed the climatic
condition of the unhealthy parts of the
colony. A few years later its planta-
tion was undertaken on a large scale in
various parts of Algeria. At Pardock,
twenty miles from Algiers, farm stu
ated on the banks of the Hamyze, was
noted for its extremely pestilential air.
In the spring of 1867 about 13, 900 of
the eucalyptus were planted there. In
July of the same year-the time when
the fever season used to set in-not q
SluSlc CdoS OCCuIIS0, ytb tHt lIeeS were
not more than nine feet high. Since
then complete immunity from fever has
been maintained
In the neighborhood of Constantine
the farm of Ben Machydlin was equally
in bad repute. 1t was covered with
marshes, both in winter and summer
In five years the whole ground was
dried up by 1000 of these same trees,
and farmers and children enjoy excel
lent health.
At the factory of the Gay de Constan-
tine, in three years a plantation of
eucalyptus has transformed twelve
acres of marshy soil into a magnificent
park, whence fever has completely dis
appeared.
In the Island of Cuba, this and all
other paludal diseases are fast disap-
pearing from all the unhealthy districts
where this tree has been introduced. A
station-house at one of the ends of a
railway viaduct in the Departm ent of
the Var was so pestilential that the
officials could not be kept there longer
than year. Forty of these trees were
planted, and it is now as healthy as any
other place on the line. We have no
information as to whether this benef-
cent tree will grow in other than hot
climates. We hope that experiments
will be made to determine this point

Benedict Arnold.

Benedict Arnold, after his escape to
the British, was allowed to retain in the
British army the rank of brigadler-
general, which he had held in that of the
United States. He afterward was sent
with an expedition into Virginia, where
he committed great devastation. After
this, he made still more destructive
incursion into Connecticut, his native
State. Having taken Fort Trumbull,
near New London, he barbarously put
the unresisting garrison of the Fort to
to the sword, and set the town on fire.
He served afterward in Nova Scotia
and also in the West Indies, where he
was taken prisoner by the Frenh, from
whom, however, he made his escape.
After the conclusion of the war, he
took up his residence in England. In
July, 1884, a duel was fought near
Kilburn Wells, between Gen. Arnold
and the Earl of Lau derdale, in conse-
quence of certain expressions which
the latter had used at apublic meeting,
and would not retract. Arnold was at
tended by Lord Hawke. and Lord Lau-
derdale by Mr.. Fox. His lordship de-
clined to return his adversary's fire, but
said that if he was not satisfied he
might fire on until he was. On this
both parties separated. Arnold died
in Gloucester Place, London, in 1901.

Uses of RaWhide.

The skin of an animal, whether COW,
calf, colt, or horse that dies on the
farm, is worth more at home than at
the tanners. Cut it into narrow strips,
and shave off the hair with sharp knife
before the kitchen fire, or in your work
shop, on stormy days and evenings.
A rawhide halter-strap, an inch wide,
will hold a horse better and last longer
than an inch rope. 1t it stronger than
hoop iron and more durable, and may
be used to hoop dry casks and boxes,
and for hinges.
Try ton broken thill, or any wood.
work that has been split. Put it on
wet and nail fast. Thin skins make
the best bag-strings in the world, A
rawhide rope is good substitute fol
a chain. 1t is valuable to mend broken
link in a trace-chain. For some pur'
poses it is best to use it in it's natural
state. For other purposes it may be
dressed soft.

RIDGWAY, COUNTY, Pa, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1877

in word, all external advantages and
attractions are nothing, unless virtue
be in the heart. 1t is mans virtues
that a woman must love, if she loves
truly. If she assume the possession of
moral wisdom, without undoubting evil
dence, she is false to herself. To marry
under such stances, is to take
fearful risk. Alas! how many have re-
pented through long life of wretched-
ness. Can true woman love a man
who lacks principle ?-who will sacrifice
honor for few paltry dollars ?-who
will debase himself for gain ?-whose
gross sensuality suffocates all high,
sible! And she who unites herself
with such man, must either shrink,
groveling, down to his mean level, or
be inconceivably wretched.
Two years later, and results amply
justified the timely interposition of
Mrs. Waring, and demonstrated the
truth of her positions. Her beautiful,
true-hearted niece has become the
bride of a man possessing all the ex-
ternal advantages sought to be obtained
by Mr.. and Mrs. Lowering in the pro-
posed marriage with Mr.. Allen and
what is more and better, of one whose
love of truth and goodness is genuine,
and whose appreciation of his wife rests
on perception of her womanly virtues.
AS years pass, and their knowledge of
each other becomes more intimate,
their union will become closer and
closer, until affection and thought be-
come so blended, that they will act in
all their mutual life-relations as one.
Alas how different it is already with
Edward Allen and the woman he led to
the altar, where each made false VOWS
the one to the other. There were no
qualities to be loved and to each,
person and principles soon grow re-
pellant. Through sharp practices in
business, Allen is rapidly adding to the
fortune already acquired by trade and
marriage; but, apart from the love of
accumulation, which keeps his mind
active and excited during business
hours, he has no pleasure in life. He
does not love the woman who presides
in his elegant home, and she affects
nothing in regard to him. They only
tolerate each other for appearance sake.
Sometimes, Fanny Lowering, now Mrs.
-, meets them in public; but never
without an almost audibly breathed
"Thank God, that I am not in her
place p as her eyes rest upon the
countenance Of Allen, in which evil and
selfish purposes have already stamped
their unmistakable meanings.

Winters Herald.

Forth from the ics-dng's palace rides
His snappish servant. Frost
His charger is the cold, keen blast
With which the leaves are tossed;
!. And he calls with a loud and piercing cry,
p 'Tis time earth's beauties fade and die
" Come flowers, now put away your pride,
And bow your heads at last
Your day of reign is well-nigh Ger;
Our chains shall bind ye fastl"
And tle flowers shudder unto death,
And fall beneath the heralds breath
: Then onward hies the chilling frost:
Z" Haste stately trees, to yield
/Your treasured leaves Behold, my breath
Shall spread them DER the field -
And the trees are standing desolate.
Their leaves hurled downward to their fate.
Still faster speeds the herald DER
The signing, trembling earth
The meadows darlzen meath his feet,
The brooks forget their mirth,
Until, beneath the ice-king's sway,
The earth, with grief and woe, turns gray.

SUFFERING IN IowA.-Reports con-

from Des Moines, Iowa, of great suffer-

insufficient for the necessities of life.

MARRYING WELL.

"And so, my DEAR" said Mrs. Waring
to her beautiful niece, Fanny Lowering,
"you are about becoming a bride" "
The aunt spoke tenderly, and with a
manner that instantly broke down all
barriers of reserve.
"And a happy bride, 1 trust" re-
turned the blushing girl, as she laid
her hand in that of her aunt, and
leaned upon her confdingly.
"Pray Heaven, it may be so,
slightly serious. Marriage is very
important step; and in taking it the
smallest error may become the fruitful
source of unhappiness.
