A DEAD-BEAT.-On Thursday last

vance agent of Jennie Heights ORA
matte Company, came 10 town ana
stopned at the Etna House, register
ing his name as Ned Miacco. Having
a quantity of bills for this show, Mr..
Ward placed confidence in his repre-
sentations and trusted him with a
horse and buggy with which to make
a "splurgev about town. On Friday
morning he ate his breakfast and
without paying his bill, left for the
A. s. G. W. depot, saying that he was
going to Warren, and would return
on Saturday and bill the town and
stay over Sunday. From the depot
he sent written order to Mr.. Ward
for half a dozen of his best cigars,
but Mr.. W. had begun 10 "smell a
MICE" and refused to honor the order.
Ned did not return as per agreement;
and mine hoste of the Etna is minus
So 90 for his bill, and the people of
Ravenna have lost the opportunity of
seeing the grand show. The circum-
stances lead to the belief that Mr.. Ned
Miaeco is something of a dead-beat.

Improved Implements.

The discussion at the evening meets
ing of the New York State Agricultu-
raj Society, Sept. 29th, was on the Ben
left of Improved Implements Of Agri-
culture, and was opened by Hon. Geo.
Geddes, in the following remarks:
One result of this improved machi-
merry is a demand for more mechanical
skill in the management ola farm
The mere laborer, perhaps, has less
general knowledgenow than most farm
hands had a quarter of a century ago.
An immigrant just from over the sea
can soon be taught how to bind grain
and handle hay tolerably well if he
tries. But he must have very well
qualified teacher.
While the American plow and our
tools for mellowing thAsoil and SOW
/ ing seed, are the bel bf any in the
world, the expenditure human labor
up to the harvesting he crops, and
in the manufactured Of Rrand cheese,
is not essentially lessl L was before
GIe ISdU Ill nPlofShHCa iesuo IL oOllO
of the most importalS Implements Of
agriculture. Still there are less men
now employed in prsaortion to the
whole population in producing food,
than were before the year 1852.
The census tables gil This reduction
at about one-third, as ted by a late
writer in the New Va Times, Alex.
Delmar. While the work of haying
and harvesting is lessened more than
this proportion, yet it is not probable
/ the whole labor of the farm is lessened
more than one-third. The question
arises, who is most benefited by this
cheapening of the food and raw-mate-
rial for the clothing of the people p
The price paid for farm labor, when
reduced to the gold value of the money
paid, is quite double the price paid for
like service thirty years ago. So the
first benefit of the improvement of ma
chinery enures in this case to the la
borer himself. For the employer pays
more extra compensation to his men
