Something More About Town Gov


There are perhaps but three towns
in the State which are at all likely to
adopt the new law for the govern
ment of towns and cities, to wit /:
Carson, Eureka and Phoebe. Austin,
Virginia and Gold Hill are already
incorporated, and neither will be
very apt to change their form of gov
ernmen', at least, until the new law
is proven to be what its friends claim
for it. The people of Carson and
Phoebe are moving for the new style
of government. The Phoebe Record
referring to the subject says:
Some days since we advanced, in an
article of considerable length, many
reasons which we thought mere co
gent and valid in favor of petitioning
the Commissioners of Lincoln county
to i~naugurate a municipal govern
ment under the Act Of the last Legis-
lature providing therefor. At the
same time we invited those holding
opposing views to set them forth in
our columns. The invitation has not
yet been accepted, and we are salts
ned, from conversation with many
prominent citizens, that a decided
majority of the taxpayers of the citv
are in favor of giving the proposed
new municipal government a trial.
But if it is to be done-if we are to
have the new SyStem-whv not make
the change Immediately? Why delay
action? Surrounded. as we are. by
epidemic and contagious diseases. the
hands of the Commissioners should
tA lDt,St-I at nIrQ so thpN- nan nrO.
vide for improving the sanitary CON
.dltlon OF the city. n petition has
been, we believe. artiallv circulated
for names: let the canyasS be COM
pleted, so the Commissioners may
act at their next sitting.
There is one very good reason why
the law should be adopted at once, if
at all this season. 1t is necessary to
levy a certain amount of tax to carry
on the town government. Our Asses
o is already abroad gathering the
tax from personal property, and if we
are to have a town government, it
is but right and proper that
all property within town limits lie
made to contribute its Just share to-
wards ~defraying the expenses of the
new system. The Commissioners
have sent for a certified copy of the
law, and just as soon as it arrives we
shall publish itentire, tn 1.-THE taXpay-
ers OF Eureka may understand cx,
actly what its provisions are. The
petitions can then be started at once,
and if a sufficient number of orr citi-
zens desire to have the law applied to
Eureka, it will be the duty Of the
Commissioners to levy the requisite
tax without delay. The whole matter
can be determined within a week or
ten days from the receipt and publ
cation of the law.

The CONNECTICUT ELECTloS.-For
some unexplained reason orr dis
patches failed to make any mention
whatever OF the election in Connect
cut on the Sth instant. We see by our
exchanges, however, that a mixed
ticket was elected, although the Dem
ocrats had a fair majority on the pop
ular vote. The candidates for Cover
MOI were Marshal Jewell, Republican
and present incumbent, and Charles
X. 1ngersoll, Democrat. Ingersoll
was elected by a round majority,
though we 40 not know the exact fig
ures. Latest accounts say the Repub-

Time 10 Cut Glover for Hay.

Opinions of agriculturlsts being at
variance as to the proper time to cut
clover for hay, Profs. Heiden and
Noight instituted a series of expert
ments to determine this point. Equal
portions of field were cut on the 9th,
18th and oath of July, at the periods
respectively of budding, early blossom
and full bloom. The gross and result
ing hay were carefully weighed, and
analyses made. Their conclusions
were, that clover has less value as
provender when cut late, on account
of the diminution of the amount OF
nutritious nitrogenous matter and the
increase OF cellulose or woody sub
stance and that an actual increase
of nutriment in the crop from early
blossom to full bloom does not take
place. They conclude, therefore, that
it is best to cut clover in early bios,
som. Furthermore by reason of the
woodiness of the clover, the nutriment
i contains cannot be as readily ex-
tracted by the animal, so that it is not
practically as valuable as its analysis
would indicate.

Science and Agriculture.

The London Agricultural Gazette, in
speaking Of the comparatively slow
progress of improvement in Agricul-
ture, says the scientific world is re-
sponsible, and that farmers are not
altogether culpabie for their ignorance
of the scientific principles Of their
calling. The writer puts it thus
"What if Farmer Dobson did think,
last year, that Ammonia was the name
of gentleman's daughter, he knowns
better this year; and next year we
shall hear of his putting sulphuric acid
and bonedust into his compost heap

Why should he be expected to be a

Talking About Ones Health.

If there is anything in the world to
destroy ones health, 1t is the perpet-
ual consideration oft. In much that
relates to body, mind, heart and soul,
we must let things take their own way.
The stomach resents being talked
much about, we find, and refuses 10
digest for a man who continually gos-
sips about it. 1t was put into the
darkness, so that we might not see it.
If it had only been made as transpar-
ent rs glass, and we could have seen
the special effect of every article put
in to it, we should have become so
nervous about its operations, that,
shortly, the whole human race would
have died off. Doubtless,the physiol-
ogist and the student of dietetics vii
give us some knowledge of wisdom ;
but they will sacrifice many victims by
their minute inquiries and cautions.
One of the best of them all, that we
ever knew, had one fundamental prin-
ciple to impress upon his disciples.
"eat your victuals and go about your
business" A Valetudinarian, long suf-
fering, refusing this and that, and cut
ting down year by year the list of
wholesome articles for his food, at last
bethought himself it were as well to
die of fullness as by starvation; and
went to his accustomed restaurant at
dinner time, and ordered a full meal
like any other man, TO the amusement
and incredulity of the attendant that
always waited on him and on inqui-
ry of the results of his boldness,h he re-
piled that he was as well after a full
and various meal, as after all the lit q,
tleness he had been acccusto ned to
practice.-Christian Register.

Tender-Footed Horses.

An old man who has had much ex-
perience in handling and dealing in
horses for more than half a century
said to me recently that he had never
known horse to get "tender footed"
that was kept loose in a shed and yard,
or in box stall. That turning around
and treading with their forward feet
in the manure kept them constantly
moist and soft. His theory appeared
perfectly reasonable to me. l have
no box stalls, but use shavings for
bedding, and every morning with a
large shovel l move the wet shavings
under the horse forward, in front OF
and under his forward feet, and then
the last thing at night cover these
with dry shavings for him to lie on.
He also remarked that he had never
known a 1at-footed horse but what
was great worker.-COr. Journal of

Tricks on Farmers.

Three or four weeks ago two men
travelled through Wayne county pre-
tending that they wanted to establish
township libraries, which were to be
kept at some farmers honse, and the
books loaned out free of cost. Call
ing upon a wealthy farmer they would
ask if he would take charge of the
library. If he would, they asked him
to write his name on a piece of paper
which was "to be sent into Detroit to
the County Auditors The fellows
then cut the sheet into slips, turned
them over and wrote a note of hand
on the other side, leaving the farmers
name to back it. They served half a
