Tor The Dsmocrasie Adrocais.

In the DENocEArlo ADyocAvg, Of the 10Th
instant, an account was given Of the proceed
ings Of the Union Bridge Agricultural Club,
at which meeting paper was read by Solo
mon Shepherd, announcing the existence OF
Farmers Club in Carroll county, many
Years, and rather opprobFiously denominating
the Alnha Farmers Club a ''young Bant-
ling, aud suggesting that the young Bantling
change its name.
1t Is not quite certain that the word
alpha is not perfectly applicable to the
Club, meaning, Of course, the first Farmers
Club organized in Carroll county. The
" What IS Itg' alluded to by the writer Of
the above named paper, was, it am correct
" informed, company formed for the pur-
pose Of facilitating the transportation Of each
members produce TO market. No one mem
Der raising o sufficient amount Of produce or
butter to justify his going every week, hence
several joined together and in turn took the
others produce with his own 10 market.
plan which is doubtlessly very commendable,
but those companies were IN very few respects
like the s'Alpha Farmers Club. II is ques-
tionable whether that company ever had a
Constitution, or whether the subject Of the
improvement Of stock, or the soil, or farming
implements, or seed grain, ever came up for
the deliberation Of that Company, which was
formed for the express purpose Of breaking
down middle men usually called "Hucksters. y
And again, whatever may have been the OBJ
ject Of the Company, alluded to in the above
named paper, it was not formed in Carroll but
in Frederick county. In regard to the other
association alluded to, IL it ever existed as n
Farmers Club, Il must have been without the
knowledge of ninety-nine hundredths Of the
people Of this county. The organization must
have been dead and buried, or laid torpid like
the viper in Winter 1.-THE former be the case,
then the "Alpha Farmers Club Of Carroll
county, is entitled to the honor of restoring
life to the dead, and raising from the grave a
lifeless association. But il the latter be the
case, then the .Alpha Club" like the genial
warmth Of the Summer restores action TO the
viper, is entitled to the credit of restoring
vigor and action to the Union Bridge Agri-
cultttal Club which so few of the citizens OF
Carroll ever heard of until recently.
There is an Agricultural Society, and Man
uiaeturing Societies Of Agricultural nipple
ments, and there may be many other Societies
in Carroll county, which directly or indirectly
pertain to Agriculture, but no Farmers Club
was ever formed in Carroll county before the
alpha thence the appropriateness of the
word alpha The BdRtiiHg had better
retain its name.

The Baltimore american, leading
Administration journal, which has accord
cd jealous and unfaltering support to
the present dominant party, makes the
following frank acknowledgement Of the
reeking corruption which has disgraced
that party, and through it, the whole
country Let honest Republicans, in
view Of the many evidences of the cor
ruption which pervades that party, an
vxer to their own consciences, how far
they themselves win remain guiltless, If
they continue to sustain by their suffrage
the existing state Of things. Ponder this
extract from the American, your own lead
ing organ in this State
The fact that our Government has had to
discredit and suspend the Vienna Commits
siouers, including General Van Buren,, will be
sharply felt as a ranking misfortune and dis
grace. Whatever may be the character Of the
irregularities of the Commissioners, and il is
70 be presumed that they must be Of grave
description; in view Of the very decided ac-
ton Of the State Department, II will be i'm
possible in the eyes Of Europeans, to separate
their individual acts from their position as
representatives of the Nation, and the Amer
lean name viii be Inundated in the eyes Of
the people Of all Europe assembled at Vienna.
II must be confessed that the scandal occurs
at most inopportune time, rs well as under
circumstances that viii add greatly to the dis
gust and annoyance It must infict. In one Of
the chief capitals Of Europe, thronged with
the delegates from every civilized nation Of
the world, thrown into broad and conspicuous
publicity by the universal attention that is
attracted to the Exposition, we stand shamed
by an exposure Of semi-oEiicial corruption and
cnpidity. Following the Congressional inves-
tigation, the Credit Mobilier scandal, the
proven corruption BY which seats in the Uni
ted States Senste have been bought and sold,
the salary grab, and the dishonest speculative
dealings that have given US q bad name, this
thing comes to add point and sting to the
whole. We may take some consolation from
the promptitpde with which the State Depart
ment has acted and from the hope that inves.
tigation viii clear the majority Of the Commits
sioners from completely with anything wrong
But still the whole affair Is a sad one and vii
leave sore and uncomfortable feeling behind
Il. The New York Journals are disposed Il
relicve General Van Buren,, the Chief Com
missioner, Of any blame except that of care
lcssness and want Of good Judgment in select
/. ing and supervising the Assistant Commits
zioners, but even these faults, in matter o.
which the standing Of the country so ereatl
depended, are inexcusable. Baliimore ADe'

HooD's MIIIs IrEMs. Hood Mills, 1pril
Goth. Locals are as scarce in this section as
money, and that article is almost .'among the
things that were.n The truth is, our people
are so remarkably moral that such thing as
a wife-murder or whipping, or fight, or any
OF the little diversions, so very popular in 9TH
err sections, is unknown here. To be sure our
good neighbors Of Sykesville had little ex-
citement on Friday last, caused by the partial
burning Of their fine school house, and, but
for the exertions OF the citizens, the county
would now be 5000 poorer than il was week
ago. This Is the second time this house has
escaped total destruction, and from the same
cause, viz: the want Of some protection to
the roof through which the pipe passes. There
is not even piece Of tin to protect it from
fire, and we think those in authority, whose
duty it is to attend to such matters, should
remember the old adage of ssStitch in
time &c.
Fruit. AFTER careful inquiry we are sorry
to inform you Of the total failure of the peach
crop in this section. We were yesterday in
formed by-a gentleman, pretty well posted in
such matters, that he had not seen peach
blossom this year, and from all Appearances
the apple crop will also be short. The loss
Of these two luscious fruits will be severely
| felt, particularly by the little ones.
AgTicnittue.-0 farmers are busily en-.
deayoring to overcome the impediments Of the
season. Owing TO the backward spring, little
more than half the usual oats crop win be
sown, consequently the area Of corn will be
much greater. Wheat is backward, but looks
well, and should the season prove propitious
good crop is expected. Our gardens never
were SO far behind.
Land Sal<.-Mr. H. s. Hunter, near this
place, sold his farm, containing about 1884
acres, for $4,000, or fraction over SIS per
acre. All things taken into consideration,
this is considered by knowing ones a capital
sale, and eyinces the fact that property, in
this part Of the county, is yet worth owning.

A RARA AVIS IN TERRIs. +.
Duane, Esq, of Philadelphia, is one of the
greatest living humorists. He is gen
tleman Of high social position, the son Of
the former Secretary Of the Treasury, and
held, himself, until few years past, po-
sition in the Treasury Department at
Washington, from which he was relieved
on account of his political prOclivities He
is now, We believe, in one Of the Philadel-
phia Banks, from which he occasionally
energies, at the call Of charity or to serve
some recreative or benevolent purpose, to
deliver one Of his side-splitting lectures.

which is Ex-Treasury Clerk" as he an
nounces himself, is really good for fit of
the blues, or any other malady durable BY
hearty laughter His urbane and gentle
manly department, his versatile genius,
and the ease and rapidity with which he
can assume such variety Of humorous
and grotesque characters, avouch him to
be gentleman of extensive culture, and
an amateur actor Of such strict fidelity as
completely "holds the mirror up to ma
ture" Had he been professional, he
would have ranked with the highest COM
medians Of this or any other country, and
| it is because he is not professional actor,
that we appreciate him all the more. We
have had the pleasure of hearing him
twice, and go where he will, his auditors
are bound to become perfect personifca-
tions of laughter holding both his sides.
We would like to hear him in Westmin-
ster, in behalf Of some benevolent purpose,
or on the occasion of some church ami
versary or festival, If we were sure that
our citizens would honor him with such
an audience as his refined and attic wit
and humor merit
