For the Register.
PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.

This association is denounced by
many worthy persons, because they do
not understand its objects. Here let
us all learn lesson, namely, not tocen-
sure each other too hastily, learn all the
facts before we form or express an opln-
ion.
The Order Of the Patrons of Husban-
dry was not formed to make war on
any man or set of men,-sinply defen-
sNe alliance. Men of all political par
ties abandon their old bonds and snake
hands over business. 1t Is a business
association and parties are only resort,
ed to as means to an end. Inc oid
nal;tical parties have only benefited
few wire.pullers who were smart enough
to throw dust in the eyes of the people,
or to speak more plainly humbug them.
A few prominent men managed their
respective parties-got the loaves ana
fsbes-made fair promises-sp!e,eches
for buncombe-and the people followed
them like sheep do their leader
The taxpayers, producers, farmers
mechanics and laboring men have been
rott;ng noorer and poorer. Interest
Still exhorbitant, railroad freights high
and discriminating, farming implements,
sewing machines, &c, sold at double
their value, because sold on credit or
through several agents. knowing these
facts and seeing no prospect OF any in-
proyement under former political asso-
Citations, they determined to cut loose
from their old parties and leaders, and
attend for the future to their business
interests and select business men, identl-
fed with them in their interests, to be
their servants-not masters. They be-
lieve that the men who work make the
wealth of the country, pay the taxes,
support the Municipal, State, and Ma
tional Governments, should hold the
offices, and not trust the professional
politicians, who are simply consumers
and have no pecuniary interest i'll COM
mon with the farmer, mechanic and la
borer, to make laws to govern them.
This order is not influenced by the old
political parties. To prove this one OF
the Oranges of this State attempted to
control their election for officers by Re-
publicanism and Democracy. The
State Grange promptly and unanimous
" revoked their charter. This course
will be adhered to throughout the Uni
ted States.
Since the war we have seen rebel and
Yankee shake hands and be hail fellows
well met-over the battle to the RUN
of both. Why then cannot republican
and democrat act in friendly concert for
she;r bread and meat-their pecunlary,
soeia, and intellectual Improvement
They are doiug this with marked una
nimiiy and success throughout the Yves
tern States. The same spirit now pos
sesses the people Of the North, South
and Middle States Changers are es-
taJlished here and there greatly, but
powerfully, because composed OF the
most reliable citizens. They wish to
deprive no man OF his rights-they
haze merely combined for seltprotec-
zion GRAAGEh

Precaution Against Sickness.

The ability of the human body to resist the
causes of disease depends upon its vigor and
upon the regularity with which the several or
gans perform their functions. In the winter
the most prolific sources Of sickness are damp
and cold, aud it is therefore wise and prudent
10 foriify tho system against them by whole
some stimulation. Hence it is that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters prove such an admirable safe
guard against the complaints most common al
this season. The ingredients of this powerful
vegetable invigorant comprise three essentia!
medicinal elements which act simultaneously
upon the digestion, the circulation, the secre-
tions, and nerves, infusing strength and regu-
larity into all. In this way the Bitters put the
body in the best possible condition to escape
an attack Of rheumatism, or intermittent lever
or indigestion, or biliousness, or OF pulmonary
disease. Cold and damp are very dsPressIng'
almost as much so as escessve heat, and pro-
tective medicine is quite as ueedlul in winter
ss in summer. The commercial sIlmuiahts SO
unwisely taken in the form of drains 10 keep
out the cold" have precisely opposite enec'
10 that produced by Hostetter's Bslters. Their
first result is succeeded by reaction which
devitalizes and prostrates the system; whiie, on
the other hand, the tonic and vtalizng opera
ton of the great vegetable invigorant, IS not
only immediate but permanent. There is no
reyulsion, no reverse nervous action. The ply
sioue is strengthened, The appetite increased,
the bowels regulated, the stomach reinforced,
and these conditions continue. If dyspepsia or
rheuma tism, or biliousDess, or intermittent ie-
yer, or general debility, or nervous weakness,
is present in the system, expel ii with this pure
and harmless antidote, which is not only lnval-
liable as a preventive OF sickness, but also
remedy for large class Of disorders.

THE CALIroRN1A GALLONS DEcAPITA-
r1oS-A Horrible Incideht.-The San
Francisco Chronicle gives the particu-
lars of the recent gallows decapitatlon
which occurred near Antioch, Cal. The
victim was Marshall Martin, aged nifty
three years, who had his head torn from
his body on the gallows, to which he
had been condemned for numbering
Valentine Fischer, an old German,
whose wife instigated Martin to the
murder, and who afterwards proved a
raying maniac and is now shut up In a
lunatic asylum. Martin was very weak
and halt imbecile creature. The gallows
scene is described as follows
When the drop fell Martins body
shot straight downward The rope
stretched with sudden elastic-like spring
the black cap flew into the air at least
eight feet, and scattering the blood in
great spots over the rope, the white
washed wall, the trap,the chair in which
the doomed man sat, and the sheriff
boots, it rolled away in one corner of
the Enclosure. The body of the poor
man fell to the ground with great
thud, and two red, geyser-like jets spur
ted up from the neck and fell down on
the ground in torrents. A closer look,
and then the horror-stricken faces show
ed that the awful nature of the occur
renee had burst upon them. The poor
old mans head had actually been Jerked
from his body, and was even then lying
in the black cap where it had rolled in
the corner. The headless trunk lay
weltering in the blood which poured
from the neck. Not word was spoken.
After the first thrill of horror strong
men turned away sickened at the horri-
BILE sight. The faces on the platform
were blanched and CHASTITY. The poor
sheriff was as white as chalk, but he was
cool and collected, aud did much to in
spire those around him.
DR., Holbrook, who was present, first
emptied the black cap of its sickening
contents. He lifted the cap at the top
and the head rolled away on the ground

Love Lightens Labor.

good wife rose from her bed one morn,
And thought with nervous dread
Of the piles of clothes to be washed, and more
Than a dozen mouths to )e fed. -,
There's the meals to get for the men in the heiu'
And the children TO fix away oh,rned:
To school, and the milk TO be skinned anu on'
And all to be done this day.
1t had rained in the night and all the woou
Was wet as it could be; ,ota basidss
There were puddings and pies W o' S'
A loaf of cake for tea. ..,,
And the day was hot and her aching head
"If msidens but knew what good wives know
They would be in no haste to wed!'
",Jennie. what do you think told Ben Brown?"
Called the farmer from the well:
And flush crept up to his bronzed brow,
And his eyes half bashfully fell.
"It was this, he said-and, coming near
He smiled. and STOPPING down,
Kissed her cheek" Twas this that YOU were the
best
And the dearest wife in townv'
The farmer went back to the field, and the wife,
- In smiling and absent way,
Sang snatches of tender title songs
She'd not sung for many day.
And the pain in her her head was gone and the
clothes
Her bread was light, and her butter was sweet
And as llden as it could lie.
"Just think" the children all called in breath,
tom Wood has run off to sea!
He wouldn't know, If he only had
As happy h,m as we.'
The night came down. and the good wife smiled
To herself she softly said:
q ,Tis so sweet to labor for those we love,
It's not strange that maids will wed!"
