SWORD AND PLOw. .


There once was a count-so we heard II said
Who felt that his end drew near.
And he called his sons before his bed
To part them his goods and gear.
lie called for his pillow, he called for his sword,
That gallant, good and brave,
They brought him both at their fathers word
And thus he his blessings gave,
"My Hrst-born son, my pride and might
Do thou my sword retain,
My castle on the lordly hight
And all my broad domain.
"on thee, my well-loved younger boy,
My Plow here bestow,
A peaceful life shalt thou enjoy,
In the quiet vale below"
Contented sank the sire to rest,
Now all was given away
The sons held true his last behest,
Zen on their dying day.
"Now tell us what came of the steel of flame,
or the castle and its knight
And tell us what came of the vale so tame,
And the humble peasant wighti"
oh ask not of me what the end may be-
Ask Of the country round
The castle is dust, the sword is rust,
The hight is but desert ground.
But the vale spreads wide in the golden pride
0fthe autumn sunlight now;
II teens and IL ripens far and wide,
And the honor abides with the pillow.

All kinds of poultry and meat can be
cooked quicker by adding to the water in
which they are boiled, little vinegar or a
piece of lemon. BY the use of an acid there
will be considerable saving of fuel, as well
as shortening of time. Its action is bene6-
cial on old tough meats, rendering them quite
tender and easy of digestion,

On the subject of root culture there is,
among farmers, wide difference of opinion,
practically, if not theoretically, Some con-
tend that there is 40 real value in roots as
food for stock, while others admit that they
are good, but the expense of cultivation
overbalances their value. These are ques-
tions which should be settled in our own

to think it is better to dispose of these screen
ings in this way, than to suffer them to get
mixed through the manure heaps or scattered
over the barn-yard where they will be car
ried to the fields and sown broadcast with
the manure. Some farmers think they util-
ize this refuse from the grain, and destroy
the foul seed if they carry it to the gristmill,
but it is apt to contain some seeds which are
unwholesome food for stock, and is very sure
to contain some which the milestone will not
crush.

AUDITORS REPORT.
Details regarding debts, taxes, and
railroad projects, will be found in the
State Auditors Report, which, for the
first time, contains full statement of
local Indebtedness. You are also re-
ferred to several important suggestions
made by the Auditor, with reference
to legislation affecting his Office.
ADJUTANT GENERALS REPORT AND
WAR CLAIMS.
BY reference TO the Adjutant Gener-
ais Report, it will be seen that there
are claims for reimbursement, now
pending in the Treasury Department
at Washington, on account of expenses
incurred by the Safe of Ohio during
the war of the rebellion, amounting 10

amount of S49,512 79 were prepared

subjects which are likely TO be consid-
cred by the Constitutional Convention,
it would be well for the General As
sembly to postpone legislation. Many
important chances will undoubtedly
be made in our fundamental law by
that Convention, and We can afford to
wait. | trust it is not al impertinence
for me to say that the people expect
and desire this adjourned session of
the Legislature to be short and mex
pensive. | have no doubt it will be
so.
In CONCLUSION, permit me to welcome
you to the duties of your responsible
position. The peop e of the S. ate have
entrusted you with the chief manage
ment of their public affairs, with the
control of important and vital inter
ests. 1t is earnestly hoped that your
deliberations may result in promoting
the good of all citizens, and that your
present session may be pleasant, har-

1uent Land List.

Through some inadvertence, the
Auditor has neglected to advertise the
Delinsuent Land List, in season to al
low legal sale of the Lands for Delin-
ouent Taxes. Chapter 8, Section =,
Page 2S, Swan & Saylor, the law which
provides for advertisement and sale OF
Delinquent Lands, provides that
"The Auditors of the several Coun-
ties in this State shall cause the List OF
DELINQUENT Lands in their respective

HAVE You SEEN HER?-A lady
who for the last five years has been a
leader of fashionin New York, and who
Inay be seen twice week in her ele-
giant caIeche driving a pair of supurb
ponies in Central Park, has recently
STATED, in the select circle TO which she
belongs, that the only article in exist
ence which imparts beauty and lustre
to the complexion without ultimately
impairing the texture OF the skin and
cousing it to collapse and wrinkle, is
Hagan's Magnolia Balm. The name
OF the distinguished member of the
beau monde who made this declaration
cannot with propriety be given, but it
may be mentioned ea pqssa7t that she
has spent several years of her life in
Europe and is familiar with all the arts
and preparations employed by the court
beaiiiies or the old world TO enhance
their charms.

Repeal of the Boesel Law.

Bills for the repeal of the Boesel
Railroad Law have been introduced in
both Houses of the Ohio Legislature,
and the probabilities are the repeal
viii be carried.
There is a wide spread feeling in the
State, that even if the privilege of run
ming into debt is good thing, that
this law affords too good an opportu-
nifty.
OF course such repeal will be subject
to all rights that may have accrued I'M
der the law, provided the Supreme
Court holds the law to be valid.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

F,tlo,c- Citizens Of tae General As
seBI6iy:
There is gUOd cause for congratula-
ton, that whii = the people of Ohio
have not been altogether exempt from
misfortune during the year which has
jast drawn 20 II close, yet no startling
calamity has bef;iiien them. Peace,
health end financial prosperity have
generally prevailed within the limits
OF our State; the standard of education
has been steldily advanced; crime has
beer diminished; good order has been
maintained; success has attended the
ventures OF capital, and rich reward
has followed close upon the footsteps OF
labor. While, within few months
past, de5olating fires have laid in ashes
HO great and beautiful cities, east and
west ofus, our l. ZONES have been spared,
;aAd all our towns and cities have been
busy with their multiplied and unin-
terrupted industries.
You are aga in assembled, to deter
mine how the welfare of the State may
be promoted by wise and judicious leg
islation; and it becomes the duty of the
Executive, to offer to your considerate
action, suchs suggestions and recon-
mendations as may seem pertinent and
necessary.
For detailed statement Of the con-
duct of affairs by your State officers
IdurIng the last twelve months, you
are respectfully referred to the Annual
Reports of the Heads of Departments
herewith transmitted. 1t will, l think,
be found that no interest has suffered
through the neglect, incompetency, or
fraud Of those whom the people have
honored with important trusts.

RAIL ROADS.

During the past year, two hundred
and seventy miles of railroad have
been constructed and put in operation
within the limits of our State. The
rails have been laid upon three hun
dred aud twenty-five miles in addition
and charters for the construction OF four
thousand miles more have been grant
ed. This is certainly an indication OF
enterprise aud pro, reSSlve spirit; we
hope it will nowhere prove the evil
dence of recklesSnesS or the result of
miscalculatiOn. Railroads should be
built whenever the advantages to be
derived therefrom overba ance the
cost. But caution may be necessary,
lest some of our cities, towns and vii
lages may burden themselves with Il
debt for which there will be no ade-
auate return. Men sometimes, upon
| impulse and under excitement, do
what the sober second thought con-
demns. 1t is not here intended to dis
courage, in general terms, the building
of railroads, or to retard, in any posi-
ble way, the development of our re-
sources. 1 know there are many local
itiesin the State where the convent.
ence, comfort and financial prosperity
of the people, absolutely require addi.
tional railroad facilities. Wherevel
wealth can thereby be created, or oul
products increased and brought near IL
ready markets, railroads should be
built; but these enterprises should bt
prosecuted with observation-disclosures
fully, soberIy, deliberately. Without
having any particular instance of mis-
take in mind, make these suggestions
in anticipation of a possible danger
considering the experiences of the pas
year.
