EzIc Political AducEs1iOn Of NFO-
men.

From the Chicago Tribune.
When the various societies of farmers
ani mechanics, and workers in general,
which are now spreading through the
country, shall have done their work and
died, it will probably be found that one of
their most beneficial results has been the
political education OF the tens of thousands
of women who have belonged to them. In
the two largest organizations, no subordi-
nate branch can be organized without the
attendance of women. \ certain number
# the officers must be women. The sex
IS meet OH perfect equality, save that
men must pay double fees. What favor
itism there is, then, is shown to women.
The feminine members learn parliament
AIRY practice, learn To vote intelligently
learn to take an interest in something
outside their own monotonOus and narrow
ug lives, and learn to reach truth through
the slow and sure process of reason ham
mered out by debate instead Of the quick
8ad dangerous method Of intuition. Al
This Is clear gain. II woman get the
franchise. in this day and generation,
those OF them who have had the drill
these societies give will, other things bling
equal. use the ballot better chan thei less
fortunate sisters.
The whisky war viii not be without It's
influence upon the political education of
women. Ii viii teach them the strength
Jhat lies in their combination.

FRUIT GROWING, &o.--In the June report of the
Department of Agriculture we find the following
items of information concerning the orchard in
terests of Baltimore county, viz:
"a number Of small vineyards are in four
ishng condition, varying in size from one acre
to i've, few exceeding the latter number, and
pay from $500 TO $500 per acre. Apples are our
main crop of fruit Almost every farm has an
apple orchard containing from 100 to 800 trees
The profit is in late keeping fruit in many in
stances paying better than cereals; the demand
for good fruit is greater than the supply. With
careful and judicious culture apple-orchards are
paying from 500 to $500 per acre, the refuse not
included, which is profitable to convert into cider
and food for hogs. Pear-cuture is receiving
more attention lately, paying better than apples,
paying from 5000 to $500 per acre. Cherries are
also noted fruit, and profitable. The trees need
no cultivation or manures, and are not expensive
in any respect. From trees that bore from six to
eight bushels per tree the fruit has been sold at
81 per bushel The census of 1870 states the
value of our fruit-crop at about SOB 200, the
crop reported being partial failure. The value
of our marketable fruit in favorable year is not
less than 5000, O0O."

Wy ENAMEL PAINT.
It's butlittle more than quarter of century
since the art of mixing paint was confined al
most exclusively to a few, com aratively speak

Not having used the Enamel Paint" we cant,

Several reports were made by Committees,
among them one by Mr.. Crowther, on the SUBJ
ject of the establishment of Oranges in the
county. The report says that the general prin-
ciples of the new Order are similar in the most
essential points to those held by the farmers
clubs now in existence, and they deem it I'M
necessary to recommend any measure upon the
subject. 1t was adopted and the Committee
discharged.
The Committee on the subject of a farmers
newspaper and publishing house for the coun-
ty, reported that they recommend the estab
lshment of the same, and presented plan for
the carrying out the object contem plated, with
a capital of $4,000, in shares of S. each. 1t
was stated by one of the advocates of the meas
ure that the paper was not intended to discuss
subjects purely agricultural, but to advocate
such measures as were of a local character per-

Committee was appointed to carry out the pro-
ject.

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR-LEG BRoKEN.-A
very unfortunate affair occurred at the Seven
Mile House, Hookstown road, on Friday afternoon
of last week. From variety of statements that
have reached US we CLEAN the following as being
about the facts in the case: Is appears that on
the afternoon named, John Baseman, tax.collect-
or Of the Sd district, VIM. Hutchins formerly a
member Of the Legislature from this county, and
John Gracean, all well known gentlemen, met
by accident at the Seven-Mile House. While
there q difficulty originated between Baseman
and Hutchins, growing out of small debt ow-
ing by the latter to the former, and in the course
of the war of words Baseman slapped Hutchins
in the face with his open hand. Hutchins made
no resistance saying he did not want to quarrel,
when Baseman repeated the assault. Hutchins
then walked towards the door, followed by Base
man who continued to strike at him, Hutchns
warding off the blows. This was kept up until
the two men reached the road when Hutchins
turned upon his assailant and dealt him one or
two heavy blows in the face with bis fist which
feed him to the ground. In falling Baseman
sustained a compound fracture of one of bis legs
between the knee and ankle the broken bones
protruding through the flesh He was at once
carried into the house and DR.. Rogers and other
physicians sent for and it was at first thought it
would be necessary to amputate the limb in order
to save the life of the unfortunate man. This
was not done however, and the physicians stated
that under any circumstances his case is very
critical one. Hutchins and Baseman are both
married and have families
