CORRESPONDENCE.

For the Essex County Herald.
Among the great questions yet
to, agitate our country is that of the
liquor traffic. This matter has got to
DO settled ere long. This nation can
not forever groan under the power of
this fearful evil. We have yet to deal
with 1t as it effects our moral, civil
and religious being. We must Crap
pie with this monster and beard him
in his own den, and the sooner it is
done the better. Moral suasion has
been tried, and legal prohibition has
erected dam in certain places, and
for time has stopped the current.
But though much has been accom-
plished yet the murderer stalks abroad
in our highways, and in our homes
in fact everywhere. The government
of the United States must take up
this question and settle it forever,
Who, / ask, are the law abiding and
peace loving members of the commu-
nifty? / answer, the men of sober
habits. Who fill our jails with Grim
inals, our hospitals with the sick, and
our Lunatic Asylums with the i'll
sane? ! answer, the rum-seller. Who
robs us Of our sons and daughters
and destroys the peace and happiness
of our homes2 l answer, the licensed
manufacturers of strong drink, and
all who sell the same. We cannot
look upon this stnte of things much
longer with indifference or apathy.
We cannot see the flower of our coun-
try stricken down., year after year, by
the ruthless hand. and hardened heart
of the unprineipled rum seller; and
vet. as sure as the death Of John
Brown was the keynote to the abeli-
ton of slavery, so will some victim
appear on the great stage of human
action (goadcd on by the ruin of some

loved one) as the first actor in the
terrible drama that must inevitably
follow. The, state OF the country de-
mands law prohibiting the iBporta-
tiOn and manufacture as well as the
sale of Intoxicating drink. We must
strike at the root of the evil. It's no
use trying to- stop the stream from
running through our towns and villa
ges while it is turned on at head-quar-
tiers, Government must turn. off the
top.
How long is our country to suffer
from this fearfufscourge? Thank God
there are thousands of prayers ascen-.
ding to heaven, mingled with the
groans and signs and tears of faith
full hearts as they cry, "How long, O
Lord, how long? and the God of the
lonely widow and fatherless, will
hear those prayers and groans, and
signs, and look upon those tears.
See that father, as he stands by the
grave of an only son, cut down, not
by the dagger of the midnight asass-
sin, but by the sure poison of the rum
seller. Look Mt him rs the hot scald-
ing tears arc falling on that coffin, as
he thinks how he pleaded with the
murderer of his boy, not to give, or
sell him the accursed stuff. But deaf
to his entreaties he continued the hell
ish work until his victim fell into an
untimely grave. Can human nature
stand this much longer? What pro-
lection have we against such a fiend
in human form? and how many more
sons must be sacrificed to this moloch ?
We answer, not many more, and
strong arms and faithful hearts echo,
not many more. This traffic must be
stopped at any price.

of the bolt or maggot in the heads Of

The Dr.'s paper was one of interest
and worth, as well as practical value.
LNENlNU SEoSiONs
Hon. j. G.. Crawford addressed
the meeting on Farming. He re-
marked that the farmer was one that
should understand not only farming
but the rudimentary principles of law,
medicine enough to attend his own
cattle, mechanical genius to mend
and make small things about the farm.
In this way farmer will succeed.
He spoke Of the invention and manu-
facture of farming tools, their modi-
fication and improvement. The great
advantages of machinery, its appli-
cation to almost every species of
work.
He also explained the frauds OF
railroads, merchants and drovers, but
neglected to explain the frauds of
farmers. His address was listened to
with attention and was one of merit.
Prof. Peter Collier then gave a
lecture on Spectran Analysis.
AS he is q scientist, of course this
lecture was of the first order, and we
were glad to see that in appreciation
there was a crowded house.
He showed that beyond a doubt
there were at least thirteen minerals
found on earth that were also in the
sun, and it was possible many more
were also identical.
CONCLUSION.

The States lhtely at war with the
General Government are now hap
PLY rehabilitated and no executive
control is exercised in any one of
them that would not be exercised in
any other State under like eircum,
stances.
In the first year OF the past ADJ
ministration the proposition came up
for the admission of San Domingo as
Territory in the Union. 1t was not
a question of my seeking but was o
proposition from the people of San
Domingo and which l entertained. 1
believe now, as l did then. that it was
for the best interests of this country,
for the people of San Domingo and
all concerned that the proposition
should be received favorably. 1t
was, however rejected codstitutionally
and therefore the subject was never
brought up again by me. In future,
while hold my presant office, the
subject Of the aquisition of territory
must have the support of the people
before | will recommend any PROPOSE
ton looking to such acquisition. say
here, however, that l 10 not share in
the apprehension held by many as to
the danger Of the Government becom-
ing weakened and destroyed by reason
of their extension of territory. Com
mercial education and rapid transit of
thought and matter by telegraph and
steam have changed all this. Rather
do l believe that our Great Maker is
preparing the wogld in His own good
time to become one nation, speaking
one language and when armies and
navies will be no longer required
My efforts in the future will be
directed to the. restoration of good
feeling between the different sections
of our common country, to the restora-
ton Of our currency to fixed value,
as compared with the worlds stand
ard Of values-gold-and, if possible,
to par with it; to the construction of
cheap transit throughout the land,
and that the products of all sections
may find a market and have a living
remuneration to the producer to the
maintenance Of friendly relations
with all our neighbors and with dis
tant nations; to the re-establishment
of our commerce and a share in the
carrying trade upon the ocean; to
the encouragement Of such manufac-
turing industries as can he economi-
cally pursued in this country, to the
ends that the exports of home pro-
ducts and industries may pay for our
imdorts, the only sure method of re-
turning to and permanently maintain
ing specie basis; to the elevation of
labor; and by q humane course to
bring the aborigines of the country
under the benign Influences of edu-
cation and civilization.

AFTERNOON.


Butter making, by Il. +. Jameson.
He remarked thai in Essex County
perhaps, butter was usually made by
the ladies but in many sections it was
largely made by the men, and so it
properly came before the meeting.
He recommended setting milk in
pals in water bath. When the
cream is churned it must be brought
to n proper temperature (62 degrees)
and churned, it matters not so much
in what churn, but it must come hard
to be good, 1t must then be well
worked and all the buttermilk will
wash away. 1t can just rs well be
worked all out first, and properly
sailed also packed, so that no second
working is required. 1t should be
worked enough to work the salt evenly
in, if not the butter will be striped,
that sailed most being the darkest
colored.
No butter tub should be soaked in
water before being used as the water
in the wood will be corrupted AMI -.
jure the butter, but the tub may be
soaked in strong brine.
Every butter maker should en-
deavor to make the best butter pos.
sible and he illustrated by example
many items of interest in connection
with the topic.
Rev. N. w. Algcr thinks purity o
the room in which milk is kept free
from all vapor especially tobacco

J. G. Webster remarked that boil

each town. They could make prep
aration, work on roads at proper
times and keep them good. 1t is a
good and cheap way to make roads
over wet places to put on hemlock or
spruce. boughs their points overlapping
each other to the depth of six inches
and than covered with six or eight
inches of good gravel or coarse sand.
Bars across roads are then useless and
frequently tend to damage and loss.
Roads should be well attended to in
the spring, the water turned out and
the same oversight given that a man
would give his own property. He
would recommend the tax to be paid
In money as a saving TO individuals
as we'll as better roads.
Good roads are a subject of great
interest to towns, and are pub
lie advantage and no town should
be satisfied without them in per-
fiction.
Mr.. Jameson remarked that q road
was good only when it had no bad
places, so such places should he looked
after. Fencing is of Importance in
winter to prevent drifts. Tight board
fences are the best to prevent drifts.
Pitch-holes in winter are more objec-
tionable than bars in summer, and it
is disgrace to let them remain when
they are so easy of remedy; he
thought roads could be best broken
out by rollers.
Chas. w. King inquired how he
would roll road when the snow was
four feet deep in one storm.
Mr.. Jameson replied he thought
the people would be justified in the
abandonment of such roads.
j. M. Lucas remarked that high
wall was a good protection against
drifts.
Linus Blakesly recommended a
wooden harrow shaped scraper to
scrape the snow, believing it best.
Hon. N. W. French thought the
roads were fenced too narrow and
that the proper authority should COM
pei every one to build their fences in
the proper places.
Hon. J. G. Crawford would adj
vocate law as in the Western States
that no roads should be less than
four rods wide, and any one building
a fence nearer, subject to fine. He
advocated portable fences.
L. +. Jameson next spoke upon
Cow Stables. He said COWS were
stabbed for profit and advantage both
to the owner and the cows.
In Connecticut the stables are
many of them large without floors ION
the ground is spread sea weed, salt
marsh hay, sand, in some instances,
is used for bedding.
The next advance in stables is
tying with bows in q narrow stable
but he thinks the tying with stan
chions the best. The floor should be
level or nearly so, and all should be
regulated for the comfort Of COWS.
Manure should never be kept under
the stables as the gases are injurious
to their health.

THE INAUGURATION CEREMONIES,

On the 4th, were the grandest and
most impressive ever witnessed on an
occasion of this kind. The civic and
military organizations composing the
procession accompanying the Presi-
dent from the White House to the
Capitol, numbered at least 10000.
The ceremony took place on Il plat
form, erected over the steps leading
to the central entrance of the east
front Of the Capitol, affording an OPP
portunity for the vast multitude to
witness the administering Of the oath,
and listen to the address which was
read from manuscript by the Presi-
dent rs follows:
Fe'lOU Citizens.
Under Providence, I have been
called q second time to act as EX-
ecutve over this great nation. 1t has
been my cndeayor in the past 10
maintain all the laws, and, so far as
laid in my power, to act for the best
interests of the whole people. My
best efforts will be given in the same
direction in the future, aided,I trust,
by my four years. experience in the
office.
When my first term Of the Office of
Chief Executive began, the country
had not recovered from the effects of
great internal revolution, and three
of the former States of the Union
had not been restored to their federal
relations. 1t seemed to me wise that
no new questions should be raised so
long as that condition Of affairs OK
listed. Therefore, the past four yeas,
so far as could control events, have
been consumed Ia the effort to. restore
harmony, public credit, and all the
arts of peace and progress.
1t is my firm conviction that the
civilized world is tending towards
republicanism, or government by the
people through their chosen represen-
tatives, and that our own great Re-
public is designed to be the guiding
star to all others. Under our Re-
public we support an army less than
that of any European power of any
standing, and a navy less than that OF
either of at least five Of them. There
could be no extension of territory on
this continent which would call for an
increase of this force, but rather
might such extension enable rs to
diminish it. The theory of Govern.
ment changes with the general pro-
gress. Now that the telegraph is
made available for communicating
thought together with the rapid tran
sit by steam, all parts of a continent
are made contiguous for all purposes
of government and communication
beteen the extreme limits of the coun.
try is made easier than it was through
out the old thirteen States at thu
beginning Of our national existence
The efforts of the late civil strife have
been to free the slave and make hin
a citizen, yet he is not possessed o
the civil right which citizenship should
carry with it. This is wrong ant
should be corrected To this correc
ton stand committed so far as ex
ecutive influence can avail. Socia
equality is not a subject to, be legis
lated,upon, nor shall ] ask that any
thing be-done to advance the socia
, status of the colored man except t
give him ~ fair chance to, develop
what there. is good Va him. Civ
him access to schools, and when h
travels let him feel assured that hi
conduct will regulate the trcatmcn
and fare he will receive.

AS a whole, we are glad to adj

labors of the Board, and full house

Essex County is at least interested in
farming.
