TrLEGaAPHING OR FARMING IL am
twenty one years old, and am learning
te!egraphing. My father offers to give
me hundred acres of good land, sixty
acres improved, and team, if l will go
to farming. What would you advice me
to do
Ans. You have been brought up to
farming, and understand it, and will be
sat home in it. If you have good
body. and strength to work, take the
land and the horses and wagon, and re-
solve to be one of the best farmers in
your county.
If you engage in telegrapling. you
will have irregular hours, temptations to
fast living, and various excitement, a liza
bility to be broken up in local, home ar
rangements, and when you begin to want
salary enough to support family, a boy
eighteen years old or young woman
who will work for small pay, will take
your place, and you will be left without
business, Take the farm, and become
a settled, permanent, and influential citi-
zen. Take tn e farm, and let those learn
telegraphy who have no farm offered
them, and to whom such an opportunity
will be blessing. We want a million
more farmers. good ones, more than we
want anything else in this country
There is such ill-adviscd eagerncss on
the part Of multitudes to rush to the
cities and railway lines to become mer-
chants, artisans, rail readers, operators,
spectators, etc, that the lands are left
uncultivated, or surrendered to shiftless
Americans, or to foreigners, many Of
whom are ignorant of American ideas,
uncutured mall things, and calculated
to make very Indifferent farmers, and not
the best of citizens. But they are be
coming masters of the soil, and Ameri-
cans are becoming the floating, landlcss
population in their own country. Take

began nearly two years ago with the
killing Of Avery ID Putnam, in Broad

possible had been done'to avert this dis
grace from failing on his innocent wife
and family; but the Executive saw fit

ly as follows:
THE STORY OF THE CRIME.
On the morning of Friday, April 20,

and, as she paid no attention to his
grimaces, he pushed open the front door
and looked directly rt her. Mr.. Putnam
on seeing Foster thus insult the young
lady, rose from his seat and closed the
door. This incensed Foster and he open
ed the door again, which was immediate
ly closed by Mr.. Putnam.
When the car reached Thirtieth street
Foster came inside and remarking that
he had paid his fare and was entitled to
a seat. sat down closc beside Miss Duval,
He then behaved in a british manner,
and made noise with his lips which in.
duced the young lady to change her
seat Mr.. Putnam then interfered, and
said although Foster was entitled to
seat in the car, yet he would not suffer
the ladies in his charge to be insulted.
At Forty sixth street the car was s.opp-
ed and Mr.. Putnam alighted, leaving the
car by the front platform. AS he was
the ladies to alight Foster went
out and stood upon the front platform

give Mr.. Putnam "hell," and seizing the
car-hook proceeded to execute his threat.

wounds from the effects of which Mr..
Putnam died the next day at St. Luke's

,uted to-day.

entirely distinct from it."

The Result In Juniata County-The Advo.
cacy Of the Repeal Of the Local Option

The Result In Juniata COunty-The Advo'
cacy Of the Repeal Of the Local Option
Law.
The people of Juniata county have
declared against license by nearly eight
hundred majority. Now that the ques-
ton has been acted on, and decided in
favor OF no license, it becomes the duty
of tie community to stand by its humane
and righteous decision. Juniata has de-
clared in favor of sobriety and order.
Now let us see to it that the decision is
faithfully regarded for three years at
least-the time of the duration of pro-
hibition. Let the law be rigidly enforced.
We DO not know that our landlords and
saloon keepers contemplate violation OF
the law; we believe a number of them
have too much manhood to allow them to
do so. However, should any so far sink
their manhood as to violate the law, then
it becomes the duty of their fellow-citzens
to visit the penalties of violated law
upon them.
Returns from different parts Of the
Commonwealth indicate that the ma jor-
ity vote of the State is in favor of license /;
therefore, certain liquor men have already
become earnest advocates of the repeal
of the Local Option law by the Legisla
ture. Such advocates never knew, or
have forgotten, that the Local Option
law was made to meet the probability of
the State as a whole. or majority, going
in favor of license. If the State as a
whole, or a majority, regardless of the
opinions in different parts of the State.
for or against license. had voted on last
Friday, it would not have been local op-
ton that would have been vote by
the State. The very letter and spirit of
the law under which we voted last Fri
day, was that the respective counties
of this State should choose, each
for itself, for or against license. The
question was not, if the majority of the
people of the State declare in favor Of
license, local. .option shall be repealed.
The question was, if Lancaster or any
other county declare-by a majority of
IFS voters at the polls-in favor of license
said county shall have. license for the
period of three years. If Juniata coun
ty. or any other county. dec!are-by a
of its voters at the polls
against license, said county shall have no
license for the period of three years.
The Legislature will not violate its
honor and bring itself into contempt by |
repeating law which gave to the peo-
pie Of the State. before they have had an
to test its merits or dement's
within the time allowed them by the
Legislature. Such legislation would be
by the civilized world as
he legislation of tricksters and time
servers.
