more, to the following communication. The
writer has experienced, in his own case. the
evils of which he complains, and his suggcs-
tions are entitled to weight. There is no
doubt that the farmers are oftcntimes made
to suffer loss, by the unfair dealings of the
middle men; and if some such organization
as that suggested by our correspondent could
lie entered into, by which tho intnronte of
both producer and consumer could be pro-
tccted, it would be of advantage to BOTH
We would be pleased to receive and publish
the views of the milkmen on this subject.
Our correspondent says:
Mr.. EDITOR: Iproposc to breach a sub
iect of very great importance to a large num-
her of citizens of Hartford county, particularly
those who reside on the line or adjacent to
the p w. & 3. Railroad and are engaged in
sending milk to Baltimore. Although agta-
tion will not produce cream, yet | will advo.
cate agitation for the purpose of preventing
milk from becoming sour, to such an extent
ny il sometimes does in the hands of the mid.
die men, but invariably at the expense of the
producer. do not intend, at this time, to
propose remedy for this and many other
evils under which we suffer, but hope this ar.
ticle may attract the attention of those inter.
ested, who will continue to venlilate the sub.
ject through the press and otherwise, until
some definite conclusion is arrived at in re-
gard to the matter. Under the present state
of affairs we are entirely at the mercy of eve
~ one with whom we have transactions in
regard to the business. No one appears TO
be responsible, and the natural consequence
is, all losses it matters not when or where,
fall ON the producer Not wishing 10 say any
thing further at this time on the merits of
the question, | will make suggestion, that
all those engaged in sending milk shall meet
ut some central point, (perhaps Perrymans-
vile would be conveniently Oh the railroad,
for the purpose of organizing permanently
for self-protcction. If the above meets with
the appreciation of n majority of those engag-
ed in the business, let us hear from you
through the press.

TnE BEEcuEn SCANDAL-The Beecher
scandal has been revived again and has fur
nishcd material for many n newspaper para
graph by the publicali III of long letter from
Theodore Tilton, explaining his relations to
the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher to Plymouth
Church, and to the notorious scandal pub
lished year or two ago, in n disreputable
newspaper of New York, charging crimi-
nal intimacy between Mr.. Beecher and Mrs
Titon. Mr.. Tilton in his explanation pub
fishes the following extract from an alleged
confession of Mr. Beecher:
BROOKLYN, Jan. list, 1871.
81 ask Theodore Tilton's forgiveness, and
humble myself before him as do before my
God. He would have been better man in
my circumstances than have been. | can
ask nothing except that he will remember all
the other breasts that would ache. | will not
plead for myself / even wish that were
dead.
III. w. BEEcuER"
Mr.. Tilton says he accepted Mr. Beecher's
apology, and endeavored TO conceal the mat
ter, but was stung into publicity by the at
tempt of MI Beecher's friends to shield their
pastor at his expense.
The whole affair is rather singular, and
presents curious phase of domestic life in
New York. 1t is to be regretted that the
cause of religion will be the greatest sufferer
in the controversy, and that too, from her
own professors
THE BEST WAY TO USE PARIS GREEN.-
Mr.. Lloyd Balderston, Cecil county farmer,
doses the potato bugs with Paris green tea
made as follows
Two tablespoonful of the poison mixed in a
barrel of water with which the potatoes are
literally sprinkled once or twice by means of
fine sprinkling watering pot. The Paris
green will thoroughly mix with the water
and this small quantity will color and make
poisonous barrel of it. The application of
this liquid was very eflicacious. 1t is more
economical, less dangerous and more easily
applied than busting the plants with Paris
green mixed with flour or plaster. The flu
id duplication can also be made at any hour
Of the day, which is an advantage ON large
patch, while the busting can only be done
cfectually while the dew is on.-Oyord
