We suppose there Is not person In this

celebration OF st. Patrick's Day by the
Catholics of this oity and vicinity. The ar
arrangements. Is have already been stated
in these columns, we're full and complete,
and had everything else been favorable,
would have resulted in grand imposing
celebration.
Notwithstanding the rain and the dull
weather this morning, the Societies from
distan nee, who proposed participating, came
into the city, hoping that the ski les would
soon clear, and probably resolving TO pa

also in readiness, and nothing was wanted

par ade to start.
But when the hour for starting arrived,
the rain still ielI, and accordingly after
consultation the Marshals aud Aids decided
to postpone the starting OF the parade until
one o'clock, p. M.
The number of those intending to partici-
pate 10 the parade was very large, aud the
streets we're filled with persons waiting to
witness the affair. Across Market street, at
Fifth and Sixth streets, large dags were

flags and evergreens. The horses attached

Be Thorough.

There can be nothing of more i'm.
portance than thoroughness. Every
live, progressive farmer must Of ne.
cessity be thorough if he expects to
make his occupation success. He
must not try to do too much by cul
tivating too many acres with toe
little help or machinery, nor should
he keep more stock than he can
keep in good thriving condition
He should aim to keep ahead of bis
work, which has been previously
planned, and work out his plans to
the very letter. Whatever is worth
doing should be done we'll. Thor
oughness in farming pays. When
blowing, pillow with as much care as
if you were competing for prem
ium. Let no cut or covering be
done, but set the pillow SO that it will
run square and true, and not so
that it will run sideways like hog
to war. When narrowing make nc
balks, but usually lap the. harrow
half, and get the seed bed in good
order. See that the soil is pulvcr-
lied finely, SO that the plant food
will be available. In seeding get
the best seed, tan it thoroughly
and arrange your sleeves SO that all
the small and imperfect grains will
be separated from the large and
perfect ones.
TO be thorough, we must be saw
ing. Too much grain is wasted in
the harvest field. 1t pays to take
the time to cradle a swathe around
the field so that the reaper can run
the first round without driving over
the standing grain. A little more
thoroughness in the matter Of saw
ing grain when harvesting and
thrcshing would amount. in the ag-
gregate to sum that would aston
lsh many a farmer who had never
seriously considered the matter
