National .4gricuiturat Congress.
PRESIDENTS OFFICE,

OttICE,
CHICAGO March, 1878.
The next, being the second meeting OF the
National Agricultural Congress, viii be held at
Indianapolis, Ind, comm encing on Wednesday
May Oath, 1873. The necessary local arrange
ments for the occasion, it is now understood,
Will be ample and complete.
BY the constitution of this body each State
and Territory lis entitled to two representatives
for every State organization engaged In foster
ing agricultural pursuits. The United Statss
Department OF Agriculture, Agricultural Schools
and Colleges with an endowment of not less
than $4,000, and Agricultural and Horticultur-
al Societies Of not less than fifty members
contributing to the support Of this Congress-
are entitled to one representative each.
In urging the appointment. and attendance CT
delegates as thus provided for, very little needs
to be said. The purpose Of the organic alton is
to afford an opportunity annually. for an IL
terchange Of views and opinions upon all sub
jects affecting the interests of Agriculture aud
its kindred industries, ana TO promote concert
OF action among those engaged in thsse pur-
suits, in all matters relating to them and Of
national importance.
The advantages to be derived from such a
medium, even in ordinary times and under or
dinary circumstances are quite apparent, and
now that the public mind is thoroughly aroused
to the necessity of considering with the great
est deliberatiou many questions touching the
industrial interests Of this country, there is
good reason to expect very full representa-
ton. No similar body has ever assembled in
the United States upon whose action rested a
more serious responsibility than will rest upon
the action Of this, in many important respects.
hope it will be the pleasure, as it certainly is
the duty of every organization entitled to par
ticipate, to avail itself of the privilege. The
constituent bodies which have appointed or
may hereafter appoint representatives will
please notify the Secretary, Chas. w. Greene,
Jackson, Tennessee, who will in due time ad-
wise them Of the subjects to be presented for
consideration at the meeting.

A shocking affray took place last week, We'd
nesday evening" at Troy Station, in Berrien
County. A Frepchman named Versaw, who
was considered dangerous character, went to
the saloon Of Mr.. Briggs and asked for liquor.
1t was denied, and he afterwards went to St.
Joseph. After time he returned, somewhat
intoxicated, and attempted to get in, but the
door was locked, and Mr.. Briggs refused to
open it. Versaw then took rail and broke the
door open, went in, and demaded a drink.
Mr. Briggs complied. versaw said he would
settle for breaking the door in the morning
but finally after moments reflection said,
No; will settle for that matter now." He
then attacked Mr.. Briggs, and the two had a
hand to hand encounter with such weapons az
were convenient. Mr.. Spauding. the agent at
the station, hearing the noise, went in, and
Versaw ran out and started for home with
hred man who was with him. After going
short distance he lay down by the side of the
fence and the hired man went and got team
and took him home. Mr. Briggs was very
badly hurt and for some time in danger OF ms
life. Thursday evening warrant for the ar
rest Of versaw was issued By Justice Sanford
and placed in the hands of constable Streeter,
who did not succeed in serving it. Afterwards
Sheriff Wiener was sent for and came and ar
rested the culprit, who was taken befor e a JUS
tice at ST. Joseph and held to $1,000 bail to
appear for trial. What had whisky do with it3

TEXAS, April II, 1873.

TEXAS, April II, 1873.
ED. TRUE NoRTHERNER:
The farmers OF the township Of Texas
have organized a Grange, properly known as
the Patrons OF Husbandry. They have fitted
up very commodIous hall in the upper part OF
ID. X. Rlx's capacious brick residence. This
Grange has been organized now about one
month and has all the implements, regalias
ETC., used II such Lodges. In fact, they seem
to be in advance in this respect OF many insti-
tutions OF this kind OF much longer standing
They number at this time some fifty members
With new applicants at every meeting, which
has been weekly since Its organization. The
lady members, OF which there are about Dozen
add much to the zest and pleasure of the meet
ngs. In fact. their labor and zeal in the good
cause is almost incompatible. They have
with their own hands, Manufactured all the re-
galias worn or used by the members at their
Lodge meetings. They have done all this at
meetings or soclals gotten up for this purpose
IN the immediate neighborhood of the Lodge
room. All praise to the ladies' zeal in the good
cause. All moves off harmoniously.
1t is evident to all intelligent minds that the
time has come when those engaged in rural
pursuits should have an organization devoted
entirely to their interests. Such it is the in
tention to make the order Of the Patrons OF
Husbandry. They will demonstrate to rings
and monopolies that they have rights that even
white men are bound to respect. All hail

II II'drniRg' to Corporations.

The State of Illinois has passed, by a unan-
mous vote, railroad bull of novel and re-
freshing character. II shows that the rail-
roads have been exacting an unreasonable tax
from the regions which they were built to ben
eft. The Commercial says that fhe enactment
provides that il any railroad shall charge or de-
mand an extortionate rate OF compensation for
carrying freight, or make any unjust discnmi-
nation in Its rates. the offending company shall
be fined $4,000 for the first offence. $4,000
for the second, 800, 900 for the third, S5OOOO
for the fourth, and for every oifense thereafter
S100, ,000 and it gives, in addition. to the person
from whom such unjust rates are demanded a
right OF action for 81 900. The provisions Of
the act which refer to lts execution, are care
fully drawn and very stringent. The evidence
required is such as could always be furnished
where the offence had been commtted the
Railroad Commissioners are enjoined to prose-
cute instantly upon compliant Of any citizen
in the county where the violation of the law
took place. What are extortionate rates is to
stances of each case.
In passing such law the great Central State
of Illinois has aimed blow at the increasingly
dangerous power of great and irresponsible
corporations, and il ought to be followed up
all along the line Of States and Territories,
East and West, until corporations are convln-
ced, for they have reasoning powers, IL they
have not souls, that they will be tolerated only
as servants, and put where they belong when
they aspire to be masters.
II there is anything which Will arouse ma
tlonal sentiment IN favor OF the Government
Of the United States taking the railroads of
the country into its own control, it is the
threatened stoppage OF the mails because a
combination OF railroad corporations refuse to
run mail cars unless they are paid an exorbi-
tant price for the service. The stopage of the
mails by this action on the part of the corpor-
ations would work such change in political
economy and public sentiment as we have
never yet see n. The progress Of the country
demands incr eased, rather than diminished ad-
vantages OF circulation and intercommunica-
tion, and If companies or corporations, for the
sake of greed, or policy, or economy, attempt
to resist this demand, instead of meeting il as
heartily and holpfully az they can, they will
soon find out their mistake, and learn to their
cost that the people are stroger than any cor
porations.

TO JESSE.


We are sitting by the fire, Jesse.
Upon this wintery night;
The embers, brightly glowing,
Send forth their rudy light,
And puss, contented, purring,
Lies IN your old armchair;
He's all the pet you've left now,
So let him linger there.
Without the winds are wailing
And wildly drifts the snow;
1t hes upon the graves, Jesse,
OF those loved long ago;
When we were young and strong. Jesse,
When our steps we're light and free,
When our hearts were full of song, Jesse,
AS the larks on summer lea;
When we toiled from morn till night, Jesse,
Throughout the livelong day;
When our eyes with love were bright, Jesse
Our hearts with hopes were gay
Your locks were glossy brown. Jesse.
Your brow unwrlnkled Them
chose you for your worth, Jesse.
And would do 80 again.
The home is very still, Jesse;
What mean these vacant chairs?
Where are the little ones, Jesse,
Who used to kneel at prayers,
Or gather round the board, Jesse,
With hearts go full of glee?
My heart recalls them all, Jesse,
Just as they used to be.
Our pretty, blooming girls, Jesse,
Our laughing, blue eyed boys;
These we're our choicest treasures;
These we're our purest Joys.
Where are the children now, Jesse?
But two do sometimes come
To linger here awhile, Jesse,
Once more with us at home;
The rest have left us long, Jesse,
Gone to that better home
Perchance they're waiting now, jesse,
For you and me to come.
One wasted in her prime, Jesse,
Far in her east ern home
When life was waning fast, Jesse,
She yeained for us to come;
o. that HAD been there, Jesse,
/ might have soothed her pam,
And with mothers care, Jesse,
Brought life and health again;
But we will not repine, Jesse,
For this would be sin;
We hush the saddest thought, Jesse,
OF all, what might have been.
The clock is striking ten, Jesse,
The midnight hour hies on
A few more days and nights JESSE
Our lfe-work will be done,
Then in tnat better home, Jesse,
The mansions Of the blest,"
Where wait - the gone before" Jesse.
May Heaven grant us rest.
