forcing the practice of it upon the pub

fraudulent device to rob the treasury Of

6. Resoiued, That it is the right and du.
ty of each State legislature to regulate,
in the interest of her citizens, freight
and charges upon all railroads within
her limits and to prevent exorbitant
rates of freight, runjust determinations
between way and through freight aud
passenger travel.
I. Resoiued, That although railroads
are public highways, yet being operated
for and in the interest of private indl-
yiduals, they should be held to strict ac-
countability for all injury they may
cause both to persons and property
along the line of the road.
s. Resolred, That we call upon our
State legislature, when it next conrenes,
to pass such laws amendatory Of laws
now in existence on our statues or III
the code, as shall give to all citizens,
property holders OF the humblest char
acter, superior rights over all and every
incorporate body, protecting them a,
gaiust all railroad grants, i'll right OF
vested property.
9. Resoiued, That we will encourage
the opening and developing Of our
State, by all legitimate enterprise, by
railroad or canal, however in all cases
subservient to individual personal right,
guarding by proper restriction each and
every one in their vested property.
rights as against any incorporate priv
leges, and positively prohibiting that
franchise which gives to incorporated
bodies, superior rights to citizen, and
in all cases requiring positive purchase
of the property without privilege OF
condemnation by jury in the interest
Of corporate bodies against individual!
rights.
Many other acts of importance were
passed which are of interest alone TO
members of the association. We met
in council and looked each other in the
face, consulting together for mutual
good, and the general prosperity of the
land We parted from each other with
the fraternal recognition of brotherhood
and with a knowledge that our inter-
ests as a class are one inseparable. We
hope our meeting together as brother
farmers, will the more directly identify
our Jefferson brothers with us of Berke-
lev, and that when our order embraces
those Of every county in our State we
NAV become one in every sentiment
pertaining to our interest and the per
manent general interest Of the country.
Respectfully, Nj.

rs UlsroKY.-It has often been
asked how school children can manage
to go over the histories of 50 many diff
fereut countries and yet retain knowl-
edge of the things studied. Curiosity
led us to ask the same question of an
experienced teacher and learned from
him that he considered it impossible for
children to study separate histories OF
each country, in the time allotted to
that branch and hence, that, after stu
dying the history of the United States
and their own State, he always put his
pupils into some well written and syste-
matte General History. An excellent
work CT that kind, by j. Pym Carter, a
distinguished educator, Of Baltimore,
having been recently published by the
University Publishing Company. Its
design is to present in systematic and
condensed form the elements of General
History. The compiler has succeeded
most admirably in his work and the
book is destined to supercede all the
cumbersome and costly volumes Of Gen
eral History now used in our schools.
One of the difficulties which most pupils
have to contend with in studying history
is to remember dates. In this book,
the compiler, in order to obviate this
difficulty, has devised the plan of asso'
eating the figures Of chronology with
their corresponding events, persons, and
places, in such manner that the event
will always suggest the actor, place and
dare,-these being invariably mentioned
together. The work goes over the
whole field of history from the creation
to the present date, and is written in a
clear style. and all the great events con-
spicuously arranged and classified.
We understand the book will be in
troduced into Shepherd College next
session, and we hope with profit to its
pupils, who will be glad to be rid Of the
necessity of buying so many costly vol
umes of history The price Of this book
is only $3.50, while the others of this
character are S3.

aay- PAN-CAkEs.-Our readers are
aware that next Tuesday is pancake
day." and know the penalty for failing
to have "cakes" on that day. The name
and observance of the day is said to
have originated among the Ancients:
Pan was worshiped by them as the god
of the Woods and Shepherds, and eve
ry year at this season they held feast,
in honor of their god, in the woods and
in order to propitiate his favor and pre-
serve their herds from ''heas and YER
min,' they cooked their "slap;j Jack, "
in primitive style, and furnished the
feast for their god, and these cakes they
called Pan cakes after his name and
not, as some suppose, because they are
now fried in pan. Panacea, a cure
for all diseases, is derived from the
same source, but we would not advise
all to eat pancakes to cure their allings.
