CAMBRIDGE, April 3, 1878.
EDITORS CHRONICLE Y our correspond
ent had the pleasure of addressing on last
Tuesday large concourse of the farmers
of Jefferson county upon the vital subject
ofagriculture. did theyery best could,
in the great work in which they are en-
gagged. The farmers of East Tennessee
are not fully alive to their interests. They
are not united. This is prodigious draw.
back upon them. There is nothing they
so much need as concert of action. All
other classes and professions are drawn to-
gether and compacted by thorough organ
ization. Why should not the farmers Or
ganiZe? Let them do this in East Ten
nessee and the results will be gratifying.
In some localities this is being done. Let
1t, by all means, continue,
CIRCUIT COURT.
Circuit Court is now in session, Judge
Randolph presiding. He very cheerfully
opened the way for the address alluded to.
He is an affable and upright Judge. This
is the opinion entertained of him by all
classes. l was proud to find him so earn
the country. He is eminently progressive
in all his ideas. I have often thought that
our judges might accomplish asyast deal
for our section, if they would, at their
respective courts, address the people on
the material interests of the country. 1t
would do good.
THE BAR.
l find the cambridge bar well and ably
represented by such men as o. C. King, J.
ADewey, Judge Swan, Jas. r.. Cooke, j.
Monroe Meek and others. They are all
legal gentlemen of ability, and fondly de-
voted to their profession. NaIs

cellent house. It is kept by Capt. Holt
singer, the Magistrate who gave the cele-
brated decision in the dog case. He is by
nature gentleman and landlord. He
treats his guests politely and makes them
comfortable in every sense of the word.
- RI CROP PROSPECTS. J ri
Many of the farmers are busy planting
corn and others almost ready to go at it.
The signs are that an extensive crop will
be planted. Oat sowing is over and the
grain coming up. The wheat is far more
promising than was anticipated. 1t is be-
ginning to give evidences of vitality, and 1
predict fair crop. The fruit is not killed.
You may expect heavy yield of all sorts.

FROM THE NORTHERN STATES.

The competition between the American Tract So,
eiety OF New York and the Western Tract and
Book Society OF Cincinnati has come to much
desired close, by the union Of the two societies.
Hereafter they will work as one body, having but
one depository 10 Cincinnati, but seat OF agents,

posed OF the States Of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky,

During the coming season the Old Presbyterian

The Consolidation Of the Eight Boards Of the Pres
byteTan Church into four Is urged by the Long
Island Presbytery and an overture Is to be pre-
sented by Its delegates TO the coming General As
sembly, calling for prompt action on the subject.
It's members have expressed the unanimous oplR-
ION, by vote, that the complicated machinery aud
heavy expense Of so many Boards, have, to a great
extent, impaired the confidence OF the Church and
proved a serious hindrauce 70 It's beneyolence.-
Another subject to cowe before the Assembly Is
embodied In a memorial adopted at the late meet
ing Of the New York Presbytery, relating TO the
support Of theological students. Doubts have
arisen in several quarters to the policy OF aiding
Young men indlscriminatey simply because they
are 10 enter the ministry, and the claim Is made
that only the most promising should 0e so assisted
by the Church funds. Rev DE-. Hall proposes
that there should be a competitive examination,
aud DR.. Shedd suggests putting the funds into The
custody OF the various colleges aud semlnaTies, to
be used for the support Of students who come up
70 3 certain standard OF scholarship, and TO none
others This subject may provoke an interesting
discussion In the Assembly, which would result
probably 70 all denominations as they doubtless
al have the question close at heart-hOw TO get
the best ministers for their churches.

Chinese coolies who had been rescued from servl-
tude in the harbor of Yokohama. The visit ex-
cited a good deal of interest both In China and
Japan. Dr. d. B McCartee, former missionary

Hopeful visw-The Mormons semi-annual
Conference was held in the Tabernacle, Salt Lake
city, on April 9th. There were present about
600 persons from all parts of the territory In
Guiding 500 Gentle spectators. The discourses
from the apostles and Brigham himself enforced
the assertion that the MormOns were Gods peo-
pie, and the prospects OF the church never were
more bright aud encouraging, and that all the
powers of the world could not put it down and
thwart the divine design. A number of missiona-
ries are to be sent off to foreign parts. Brigham
has resigned several important positions, giving as
a reason that ne is now seventy-two years old and
needs relaxation. He continues to be president OF
the church, and in that position shall still "exer-
else supervision over business, ecclesiastical and
secular, leaving the miuuti@ to younger men.

The Old Dominion Washing Machine.

The Editor of the Central Presbyterian does not
often undertake to endorse what is advertised in its
columns, believing it best in general to let each
speak for ITSELF and work its own way. In the pre-
sent case he gives the statement here presented
upon full knowledge of its TRUTH and after witness
ing with other persons the operation of this remark
able invention. The inventor and those conducting
the business, are all citizens of Virginia. In sim.
plicy of construction, the ease with which it oper
ates, the speed, efficiency and completeness with
which it does its work, and its comparative cheap
ness, this new continuance is certainly nothing
short of marvellous. There is nothing iii the adver
tisemen but what, according to our best judgment,
will be found strictly true. Such an invention,
which WILL as we knOio, thoroughly cleanse all kinds
of pieces (even the most difficult and soiled such as
bed-tck and bed. clothes) in from two,to five min
htes, and without rubbing or other injury, must
prove to be of incaculabe value, especially in these
changed times in domestic affairs The question in
our households will be- not ohether they can afford
to procure one bat l0hether they can afford to do
toithOut 1T. Such saving of drudgery we have not
seen in any other article of domestic use unless il
may be the cooking stove and the sewing machine.
