Insanity is often caused by the use of
ardent spirits. In September, 1871, NJ.
Sumier read, before the Academy of
Medicine in France, paper relative to
the increase OF insanity in that nation.
In his sixth conclusion he says: "In
fine, alcoholism plays q very prepon-
derant part in the increase of the num-
Der of cases of insanity, and constitutes,
in their relation, as in SO many others,
serious danger for society,""
Not many months since in wealthy
city, (LiverpooD a committee of two
presented to the Council sincere re-
port as to the results of intemperance.
in their report they describe the :rre-
sistible mass of evidence which led them
to the conclusion, that at the bottom of
the feaaful excess of mortality in that
wealthy and intelligent city, lies the
wide-spreading curse, intemperance.
The people herd together like brutes
they couch at night in miserable crowd
ed rooms; have neither food, furniture,
nor clothing; their children are killed
off in hecatombs by exposure, slow
starvation, and neglect, because father
and mother, husbands and wives earn
every week from twenty to twenty-sev-
ell shillings, waste all their substance in
themselves with alcohol
and sink habitually by thousands into
the most fatal disregard of the habits
of life necessary to health, morality |
and public safety.
We have this evil surrounding us ev-
the city, the town, the
village, the country and how many
have 1t In their own homes. 1t is q
blight to success, thief to the brain
and pocket, the cause of domestic un-
happiness and devil to the soul. 1t
takes reason and gives insanity; it
browns the memory and leaves the
fiend incarnate full possession; it de-
stroys the health and gives disease in
it blights prospects and brings
adversely; it diminishes strength and
replaces it with weakness; it corrupts
the blood and leaves delirium i'm its
stead; and it weakens the brain and
ronsign the unfortunate to a deplorable
state of imbecility.
1t can be truly said that all drinkers
are not so affected, at least to such an
extent. But who will say they are not
to some degree? And not on the pres
ent generation will its bad influence be
felt but on posterity. Unhealthy par
snts procreate healthy and sound
children always, and sooner or later
will be seen to dire fleets produced by
, so pcrnicious habit; and the list of
diseases will swell with the accumula-
lion Of diseases produced by the direct
,r indirect use and abuse of alcohol.

There is nothing like cooperation

we'll as elsewhere A display from
each county Of the State would show
up, better than anything else, the re-
sources Of the State and would make a
sight worth crossing the continent to
see. Of course as an inhabitant of
Goodhue County, we would like to see
this County ahead in making the dis
play, and will do anything that we can
to help the matter along. Why can
there not be movement made at once
The rush Of work is now over and it
would take but a very little time for each
faamer as he is coming into the city to
bring something to go into the dis

may be said Of other counties. and we
believe in the men who have proper
zeal for the fame Of their own county.

markets, and the prices at which it is
offered are almost sufficiently low to permit
Of its export to England. The markets in
Western France have fallen during the last
two weeks equal to 25 to 40 cents per
bushel, Notwithstanding that the wet
weather has given rise during that time to
many apprehensions. In Southern Russia
and Hungary the harvest is being gathered
in good condition, and is yielding full
average in quantity. Hungarian wheat is
reported as averaging fully 6S pounds to
the bushel. From Italy similar favorable
accounts are reported, and new wheat has
appeared in the market at Genoa, but of
somewhat inferior quality. Throughout
Germany the harvest prospects are reported
as being highly satisfactory One pc
culiarity Of all the reports is the great
weight per bushel of the new crop, and
this is characteristic Of the most widely
separated districts. The impression left
after studying the whole mass of reports
from all sources is that the European crop
of 1874 is an extraordinary one both as re-
CARDS quantity and quality; while its un-
usual earliness is feature which has more
than ordinary Importance when the barren
ness Of supplies consequent upon the de-
fcient harvest Of last year is considered.
The early flow Of new grain finds empty
granaries and bare storehouses to welcome
it. The conspicuous and sudden fall in the
value Of wheat has been caused by the pre-
mature gathering OF the crops.
The acceleration Of the harvest has pre-
cipitated the fall in prices, but this, it
should be remembered, will only have the
effect OF lengthening the season Of its con-
sumption. There is certainly combina-
tion of favoring circumstances which have
resulted in greatly affecting the market for
the present crop, but it is unsafe to hazard
even a hope as to what may be the course
Of prices.
At present we have only to recapitulate
the facts which we have gathered from a
number Of sources, which, however, all point
with singular unanimity to some plain
and simple deductions. There will be
plenty Of wheat, and with plenty there
cannot be high rates. There is abundant
room for the new supplies, and this fore
shadows an active demand. An active de-
mand and a plentiful supply prefgures a
satisfactory business for all parties.
A large yield with lower rates, while it
leaves the farmer in position equivalent
to that resulting from low yield and high
rates, at the same time places the industri-
al interests Of the country in an equally
favorable position, and stimulates the pro-
duction Of other staples. The general pros
perity which invariably results from a
bountiful harvest and cheap food reacts up
on the agricultural interests in many ways,
and farmers prosper when the whole coun-
try rejoices. We do not consider the ex-
port Of food as a business to be desired, nor
the competition of American farmers with
those Of Europe in their own markets as
profitable. On the other hand it would be
far more to the interests Of farmers were
our whole production consumed at home
by native artisans, and the difference in
value which disappears in ocean freights
saved to those who cultivate the soil and
produce the crops.

The County Fairs.

At the last meeting Of the County
Council Of Goodhue County commit
tee of three were appointed to confer
with the officers of the County Agricul-
tural Society with regard to some means
Of awakening greater interest in
the annual fairs, of making them a
greater means Of improvement. After
comforting with one another the commit
tee have made the following suggestions
to the officers Of the society, not, of
course, expecting that all Of the sugges-
tions are capable of being carried out
this year, but believing that ideas may
be used to some extent for accomplish
ing the important end sought.
1st. To provide exercises, consisting
of discussions on topics relating to ag-
riculture after the manner Of Farmers
Clubs; essays on different branches Of
farming, declarations and other exer-
cises by children from the public
schools Of The County, all to be inter-
persed with song and music.
I'd. In order to secure excellence
in these essays and other efforts, let
proper premiums or rewards be offered
for the best essays, &c.
Sd. Fix the place of holding the
fair in grove convenient to living
water.
4th. Invite all the farmers to come
with their tents and wagons and provis-
ions, bring their families and camp on
the grounds to remain during the fair,
for time of social recreation, of rest
from the wearing cares and routine Of
farm labor, for season Of enjoyment,
and mentalimprovement, and for learning
more Of the noble callingof Agriculture.
And further that every one entering
articles for a premium be required to &C.
company the same, as far as possible, with
awritten statement of the manner of rails
ing, cultivating, &c. For illustration, if
wheat be the article entered for pre-
MUM, let there be, statement of the
quality Of the seed sown, the place of
raising the seed and the quality Of the
soil where raised, the time Of sowing
for the grain exhibited, the manner. of
preparing the ground and Of putting in
the seed, the kind ofsoil, the time and

That the fair be made time for the
sale and exchange of stock, and especi-
ally for the sale of blooded stock, and
that proper conveniencies be arranged
therefor and the arrangements be prop
perly announced.
That premium be offered to the
Grange in the County that will furnish
the best display Of agricultural products,
and that each Grange be requested to
appoint person, to ascertain and re-
port to the officers of the society what
each Grange will do for the fair, how
many intend going and what articles
they wish to sell or buy.
It seems to us that there is great
deal in these suggestions that might be
made useful, not only in this County but
in all other counties of the State.
The only way to make these fairs
what they should be, is to go to work
systematically and make something out
of them, instead of letting everything
90 haphazard and expect them to run
themselves.

Beecher is denounced either as a per-
;juser, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
Whenever any statement or. letter of
Mr.. Tilton, Mrs. Tilton,> or 'Mr. Moul-
ton seems to favor Mr.. Beecher it is
seized upon by the committee as abso
lutte truth, and paraded as the highest
kind of evidence, while every statement
by them against Mr.. Beecher is de-
nounced as fiat perjury and unworthy
of belief: If their statements are good
and creditable when made in favor of
Mr.. Beecher, they ought certainly to
be of some weight in the mind Of an
impartial court, when they are not in
his favor.
In our judgment the committee have
exhibited in this report the fact that
their labors have been little else than
continued and determined effort to bring
their patron out clear and unspotted, and
thereby have proven that the report is
without any significance whatever, so far
as it affects the charges made. In order
to accomplish their purpose they have
represented Tilton as one Of the vilest
perjured villains that ever desecrated
Gods green earth by his presence, and
himself and Moulton as two plotting,
Infamous, devilish blackmailers.
Everybody who stands in the way of
bringing Mr.. Beecher out triumphantly
clear must be hurled down and trampled
under foot, their reputation blasted, their
characters blackened and destroyed, and
themselves buried under infamy and dis
grace. If all this was necessary to Mr..
Beechers vindication, thousand times
better that he had never been indicated.
Neither Mr.. Tilton nor Mr.. Moulton
were on trial before the committee, and
yet they have seen fit to travel outside
Of the legitimate duty before them, for
the mere purpose of defaming these
men, with view to breaking down and
crushing out the weight Of their evidence
We have no doubt that Tilton has ter
ribly exaggerated Mr.. Beecher's offence
or offences, but that husband-must be.
much more or much less than man
who, after reading those letters of
Beecher's would not fear and suspect,
and even believe the worst against him.
Let any husband read such letters in
reference to his own wife and he would
be very apt to think some pretty hard
thoughts, and believe some pretty hard
things.
But in order to give some show of
fairness and impartiality on their part,
the committee finally censure Mr..
Beeeher, and yet this censure is not
for his having done wrong, but because
he did not cover it up better. They do
not censure him for having encouraged
and reciprocated Mrs. Tilton's love for
himself, but for having written letters
that prove the unholy love- 1t Was no
crime to encourage and return her love,
bqt the crime consisted in telling it.
This is the character of their censure,
0 if Mr.. Beecher had come right out
and confessed this love for Mrs. Tilton
(for we believe that was the whole ex-
tent Of his error, and the cause of all
this trouble,) } the matter would have
been long since settled and quieted
down. He has undoubtedly suffered
the deepest penitence for his fault, as
his letters show, and the world would
have instantly forgiven him and even
placed him upon higher pedestal of
e. <hco H. l.l
