AT the meeting of the Maryland teachers as
sociation, in Hagerstown, yesterday, Professor
Remley advocated the compulsory attendance
Of children at school, and submitted resolutions
appealing to the legislature to enact a law
similar to that in Prussia, to enforce the attend
ence Of children; but they were voted down, a
majority seeming to agree with Mr.. A. Lacy, of
Howard, who would employ encouragement
rather than compnlsion- He would give prizes
for good attendance, and give clothing to those
who needed it. COmpulsion is antagonistic to
the genius OF American Institutions Let us
educate the people up to the grand idea of edu-
cation Improve the school system and 1t would
be better than compulsion.

The Pennsylvania democrats in convention
yesterday renowned Greeley liberalism and all
its idols They did not attempt, however, to
frame an original platform, but adopted that of
the Ohio convention entire, with the exception
of the revenue tariff plank, which would be
losing card with the Pennsylvania protection
lists. There was lively scene in the convention
over the election Of a permanent president. Mr.
Spear, one OF the democratic Congressman
from the state, was named for that position, but
turned down on account of his having accepted
the increase of back pay. He made piteous
appeal, but the virtuOus delegates were inexora-
bic, and he was forced to withdraw. Mr.. Getz,
another of the democratic members OF the
House, came to his defence, and was Kissed into
silence. Itwas sharp reproof that these gen.
tlemen received from their constituents. Mr.
Randall, chairman of the democratic state COM
mittee, was distinguished in Congress for his
persistent advocacy of the grab, and he, too,
conner in for a share of the condemnation.

The case OF apparent resascitation OF q
young man named Matthias, at Westminster,
Md, when burial was about to take place,
proves to have been fsllacious. 1t was reported
that when the body had been put in the coffin,
after having been kept in ice for two days, it
showed the appearance of life, and proper ap-
planes having been made the young man was
restored to consciousness, and was doing well.
1t appears, however, from the correspondence
of the Baltimore american that the facts were
As follows; NJ HAS had been suffering for some
time with iii ease OF the kidneys and dropsy
and on Sunday last at about half past 1 O'Clock
he died of disease known as ssUraemia,- af-
ter having been in a comatoSe condition for
over two days. Shortly after death he was
packed in ice, and so remained until Tuesday,
when he was placed in a coffin for burial. OF
course, the ice had preserved the body in a
very fresh and natural condition, and when
the family and friends gathered about the
coffin for one last look at the remains this fresh
appearance caused some one to remark that
he did not believe life to be entirely extinct.
Mr.. Matthias, the father of the boy, on hearing
this remark, refused to have his sons body
buried until IL could be examined by physi-
clan. Two were sent for, and after a careful
examination, one Of them decided that lire had
been extinct for two or three days. The other
held that there were indications of life; that q
blister produced Inflammation, SC. The father
Of the young man therefore postponed the
funeral, but signs Of decomposition have since
set in. and the physicians now agree that life is
entirely extinct
The case has considerable interest here in
Washington, because a similar one occurred
here some tine ago, that Of . young lady who
died down river, and whose body on being
brought to this city showed a freshness Of color
and suppleness OF limb that had all the appear
ance Of lingering hfe. The physicians, how
ever, after careful examination, decided that
these appearances were wholly deceptive, and
that life had been extinct for days. This decep-
tive mask Of hfe it would appear is not an I'M
common thing, even up to the point when de-
composition is sbout TO commence

Itself upon having obtained the news of the

creditable feat in the way of journalistic en-

vices Of two hunters to traverse the rough and
dangerous wilderness, pushing forward 100 miles

How to Increase The wheat Crop.

The following editorial article, copied
from the R,udi SIM, will prove of interest
to our readers:
Wheat has come to be one of the staple
crops of Tennessee. In the ten years pre-
ceding the war (1S50-1S60) the crop of the
State increased five fold. This increase
was the result of the discovery that Ten
nessee wheat could be put into the New
York market earlier and would command
a better price than any other except Cali
fOrnia wheat. Farmers went to growing
wheat who had never grown it before,
and those who had grown it grew all the
more.
According to the census in 1870, the
State had recovered her former position in
wheat culture. And we venture to pre-
dict that when the census of 1880 is taken
the crop will have increased in almost as
great ratio as between 1850 and go. We
think we see good grounds wherein to
base the prediction.
In the first place the demand will in
crease, by a large increase in the wheat
eating population of the United States,
and by relative decrease in the crop in
the New England and Middle Atlantic
States. AS consequence the price must
remain good. II becomes, therefore,
matter of moment to consider how the
yield Of the growing crop may be increas-
ed 1t is not possible 10 increase the acre
age so that whatever is done, if anything
can be done, must have for its aim
the increase in the yield of the acres
sown.
There are two practices common in 9TH
CT countries which have been scarcely, if at
all, tried in Tennessee, viz: manuring,
aud rolling and narrowing OF the hene-
fits of top dressing wheat the farmers of
America as class know nothing. But
very few have ever tried the experiment,
and the great majority know nothing of
the experiments that have been made else
where; and the same may be said with
regard to rolling and narrowing wheat.
Yet for many years the best wheat grow
ers of Europe have practiced both top
dressing and rolling wheat in the winter
and spring, as they think, with very salts
factory results
The method most approved is to take
light two-horse roller and draw over the
whole field about the last of winter or be-
ginning of spring. The roller breaks up
the clods and presses down the earth
around the plants, thus preventing the
injury of "spewing Out' so often complain
ed of. \ little later a generous top dress
ing of superphosphate or ashes is found to
pay. The experiments are worth trying
in Tennessee.

Grass and Pork.

Feed more grass These three words
contain and explain the entire theory of
that practice by which any one can make
hog distinguishing the cholera-as profit
able as the raising of any other kind of
stock, if not more so, on account of their
ready sale in any market every year.
When L say feed more grass, 1 DO not mean
to advise you to turn your sows and pigs,
shOats and stock hogs upon a short crop of
any kind of grass, or upon an old field in
which the noXious weeds and brieTs luXu-
riate, or from which the cream of the best
and richest heritage has been cropped by
your bunch of mules, cattle or horses, and
then, expect your hogs to flourish, grow
and fatten for the market, without feeding
them corn at all, Byn means; for hogs
kept on such pasture must have corn, and
that in ample quantities every day, if you
would realize anything from their growth.
A small but excellent hog raiser follow
ed these rules: He fed about siXty-five
acres in clover and rye; while the clover
was growing rapidly, he turned in the
smaller ones, and when it blossomed, he
turned them all in until the rye was ripe
enough, then turned them all on rye to eat
it down, and IN this way the clover and
the rye reseeds fields for years. Before the
clover came, there was always good blue
grass pasture. The first of October they
were put up and finished on corn. On
this IAN his hogs were always healthy
and 20 fork cheaply made.

sow TurnIp Seed for Salad.

The most delightful greens for spring are
those sown i'm the latter part of winter.
Let the square intended for late cabbage
be broken up as soon as the cold weather
will permit and well narrowed Upon this
sow winter turnip seed i'm the proportion
of pint 10 the acre. Afterwards let a
slight brush be drawn over the land so as
to get the seed slightly beneath the sur
face. They will terminate the first warm
spell and supply an abundance of the very
best salad for early spring Turnip greens
produced in this manner are superior on
account of their tenderness, delicacy Of
flavor and yield. Let those who have
never tried this plan set about it at once,
and they will not regret it.-R,trdL sun.
