The Rolling Mills az Cumkeria1"
Maryland,

The Cumberland NsgS says that no.
tees were posted in the rolling mill E
on Thursday, announcing that the
works would be closed until Monday,
December lst, one week loager than
was originally intended, and that on
resumiug operations q reduction OF
fifteen per cent. upon prices now paid
will be made upon the wages OF all the
employees at the mill THIS with the
reduction made some weeks ago, will
make a reduction Of twenty-five per
cent upon the wages raid several
months ago. The officers OF the com"
pany assert that this step is one OF me-
cessity with them, and they will con-
tinue their works in operation on the
above scale OF prices, although they are
informed that q number OF the mills,
throughout Pennsylvania particularly,
have closed for the winter or will do so.
OF those which vii! continue opera
tons the company is advised that at
Cambria, the Allentown, the Bethle-
hem and others have made 8 reduc-
ton in wages OF from twenty-five to
thirty per cent.

HON. GEO. III. LEE.

The many friends of Hon. Geo. 81.
LEE, of Clarksburg, throughout the
State, will be grieved to learn of his
sudden death, which occurred at his
home on Thursday last. In his de-
cease the legal profession, loses one
of its brightest ornaments, the State
a prominent and honored citizen,
and society q most useful and deserv-
ing member. He was Judge of the
Supreme Court of Appeals under
the old State, but resumed the active
practice of his profession after the
separation, and has since occupied a
distinguished position among the le-
Gal fraternity in this section, We
COPY from the Conservative the nos
tice hereto appended.
Thursday morning at twenty min
utes of three o'clock the spirit OF the
Honorable George Hay Lee, left
this mortal earth tor the realms Of
Immortality. The community was
not at all prepared for his deeease,
as but few heard of his illness.
Judge Lee belonged to the old Re
Anne and was q courtly Virginia
gentleman, whose punctiliO and po-
likeness were noticeable in the small
est particulars. Virginian by birth
and feeling, he ever preserved a high
bred air of courtesy and refinement.
He was given to hospitality and was
n perfect host, making his guests feel
entirely at their ease.
But he was not so much distin--
puished for the outward polish of
his manners as for the culture and
faculties of his mind. He was one
of the chief counsel of the.B. d o. X.
r., and as such distinguished him
self. In the discussion oflcgal ques-
tions his ability and mastery meth
cd ofhandling cases entrusted to him
were remarkable.
The Judge was no mean scholar.
In his youth he read very extensive
" and in consequence, apt quota
tons were ever ready Oil his tongue.
His birthplace, it is understood,
was Winchester, Va.
The coincidence Of this Is well as
other communities will be extended
to his large family.

Eoionei Scott anu The peuns,lvnni,
Railroad

Colonel Thomas Scott, Vice-Pres;-
dent OF the Pennsylvania Railroad, says
that the road, since the action of the
directors in the way OF declaring G scrip
dividend, was in a condition 10 90 on
without atty trouble, and would un-
doubtedly meet its obligations as they
became due. The leased lines, which
are feeders OF the main road, as q
whole, are paying profit even at
present and the policy OF acquiring
tributaries has proven eminently salts
factory. If the Pennsylvania road had
not secured them by lease, other roads
would have been benefited bv their
traffic, and the Pennsylvania railroad
would have lost accordingly. The
business OF the road had been injured
somewhat by the shutting down Of
blast furnaces and rolling mills in the
iron and coal regions.

THE Iatt!LigeRcer OF last Saturday
published special dispatch from Char
lesion stating that the Governor had on
Friday transmitted to the legislature a
special message in relation to the pubs

suit be instituted TO compel Mr.. WAL
EER, late public printer, to make resti-
tuition OF the sums Overcharged by him
for work done. The Governor asks
that an appropriation be made sutlici-
ent TO defray the expenses Of the suit.
While we do not see the necessity for
q special appropriation for the purpose
OF detraylng the expenses OF q suit

the Governor insists upon it, we trust
that the Legislature will comply with
his request and tell him TO 20 ahead

The Source OfFOOd.

There seems to be an indissoluble bond
existing between all the sources of food
There are the same classes of elements in
flesh as in flour, and the same in animals
as in vegetables. The vegetable draws
water and minerals from the soil, while
it absorbs and Incorporates the air in its
own growth, and is then eaten to sustain
the life of animals, so that animals gain
the substances which the vegetable first
acquired. But, in completing the circle,
the vegetable receives from the animal
the air which was thrown out in respira-
ton, and lives and grows upon it, and at
length the animal itself, in whole or in
part, and the refuse which it daily
throws off, becomes the food of the vege-
table. Even the very bones of an ami
NAL are, by the aid of nature or man,
made to increase the growth of vegetables,
and really to enter into their structure );
and, being again eaten, animals may be
said to eat their own bones and live on
their own flesh. Hence there is not only
an unbroken circle in the production of
food from different sources, but even the
same food may be shown to be produced
from itself. Surely this is an illustration
of the fable of the young phoenix arising
from the ashes of its parent Popular
Science Monthly.

A well-known farmer of New England,
after examining the methods of high
farming pursued in Great Britain, thus
relieves his feelings: Il am thorough
ly confirmed in my old faith that the only
good farmer of our future is to be the
high farmer There is a widely-pre-
vailing antipathy among the common
farmers of our State against not only the
practice of high farming, but against the
use of the phrase by agricultural writer's.
This is all wrong, and should at once be
corrected. Through some misconception
of the meaning of the phrase, and also of
its application, they have come to believe
it synonymous with theoretical book
farming, 'new-fangied notions boosted
strides of progress, followed by disap-
pointments and final failure. This is all
an error. High farming simply means
thorough cultivation, liberal manuring,
bountiful crops, good stock, good feed,
and paying profits therefrom. 1t is not
strange that misconceptions have arisen
in the minds of doubling farmers who
have been eyewitness to some of the
spread-eagle experiments of enthusiastic
farmers, better supplied with money OBJ
tanned in business they know to manage,
than with practical experience on the
farm. Bountiful crops and paying profits,
of course, are what all farmers who are
dependent upon the farm for an income
are striving to obtain; and every wear
as it passes is reconfrming the opinion
that the profits are small, and will grow
beautifully less, where high farming is
not praeticed.

What Is a Grange.

1t is an organization of farmers, with
their wives, daughters and sons, intended
to enlighten and elevate them, and bet
ter qualify them for their God-given vo-
cation. 1t aims TO bring about these
objects by association. 1t unites those of
the same calling into one grand brother
hood for the protection of all.
It establishes in every neighborhood a
Iecture-room, which is the Grange itself,
i'm which the most important truths are
unfolded and discussed. 1t disseminates
valuable information, that all may be
benefited it receives knowledge as well
as dispenses it.
1t is an Intellectual institution, for 1t
calls for an exercise of mind it brings
mind in contact with mind, and by con-
tact and friction all are frightened and
illuminated.
1t draws out latent talent, and makes
active and tangible what has been before
unseen and dormant.
1t demonstrates the fact that as rich
harvests are developed by brain culture
as by soil culture.
The Grange is a social institution; it
makes one grand brotherhood and sister
hood. 1t unites by the strongest ties
those who have before been strangers;
it heals up the wounds of the unfortunate,
it administers comfort to the sick. and
alleviates suffering and distress. 1t is "a
husband to the widow and father to the
fatherless. 1t makes every neighbor-
hood as if it were one kind and affec-
tionate family.
The Grange is also financial institu-
ton. 1t seeks to obtain for its members
the best market for their products ; it
looks to the interest of all it cuts the
Gordian Knot that bound the agricultu-
rists to the extortioners and spectators,
who have absorbed the chief profits of
their labor. 1t buys the necessaries of
life where they can be had the cheapest
and best it brings about a cash system
Of dealing it throws its protecting arms
over and around all, and will aim to
make them more independent
And believing this organization to be
the hest yet devised for the protection of
the farmers, we will, as heretofore, labor
diligently and faithfully to effect its OBJ
jects. We will encourage its growth
because we are satisfied its tendency is
for the welfare, dignity ana elevation Of
the producing classes.

The two remedies following, furnished
by those who have tested them, are given
in the Horticulturist: 1. As soon as
the plant begins to head, or as the louise
makes its appearance, open the leaves
carefully with the fingers, and sprinkle
comm on salt between them. This is said
to be an infallible remedy. We have
used it with entire success. Plants used
in this way produce larger and more solid
heads than those left to themselves. 2.

shod stake Of about three inches in diam

one side to place the foot on, is used to
make a circle of holes just under the

inches or two feet apart, and from twelve
to fifteen inches deep, and the liquid
manure poured into them; then the
holes are easily filed up again, so that
the liquid cannot be evaporated, or the
earth baked hard by the heat of the sun.
In wet weather the liquid manure is
applied alone, but in dry weather an

that the well-to-do Chinese protect them
selves absolutely FROM epidemics by
wearing these garments, and it recon-
mends the manufacture of silk fabric
for the purpose which will be cheap
enough for all to obtain. As the Jour
nal de Lyon is the organ of the silk in
terest in France, this suggestion may
possibly not be made so much for santa
ry as for commercial reasons. Still it is
