An incident occurred over the grave Of q
confederate soldier in New Haven, Decora-
ton day, that reflects credit upon those con-
cerned. John NJ. Pearl, who was born at
Fair Haven, aud whose father was superin.
tendent OF schools at Nashville, Tenn, at tho
breaking out Of the war, joined the rebel
army, while the father continued loyal. He
served through the war, but at is close came
North, whittier his father had been driven,
and said, "Father, II l ever fight again il
will be for the whole country and not for a
part Of it," When the members OF the post
reached the cemetery, they found the grave
Of Pearl covered with the confederate flag
that had once foated over bin. and a pla.
card with the words, "Boys, take my flag"
The flag was taken, and the grave was load
ed with flowers. The father Of the dead
soldier gave the post picture Of his son,

WOOL MARKET.
The stock of Ohio and Pennsylvania fleecos
has been reduced about 200 900 lbs, ono lead
ing mill taking 10000 lbs, and tho entire
stock now on the market does not exceed
100000 lbs Of this description. Prices still
range from So to Coo per Id for X, Xxx, and
NM, aud these prices will no doubt be re-
allied for the balance of the old stock now
on hand. small lot of ordinary new Ohio
has been sold mt 47c per Id.
So far rs the market for goods is concerned
there Is no Improvement and no prospect of
any immediate Improvement. Manufactur-
crs have III iact been compelled to force off
large lines of woolcns through the Now York
auctions. The prices realized were about
l2l per cent less than the prices Mt private
safe, and If manufacturers previously were
uniDle 10 ODJlln COSJ, an auulJlOnal SHRINK

satisfactory state of trade.

The Bennington Banner takes us to task
for intimating that the people of this state
have before now suffered elections to 90 by
default, and insinuatos that we "claim that
Governor Converse was elected by default"
We never made any such claim, and we new
or dreamed that Vermont had failed 10 poll
heavy vote at her gubernatorial or other
elections. But the idea which tcas con-
veyed in the item quoted by the Banner,
and distinctly enunciated in tho editorial
columns Of the same issue of the FARMER,
was that the votes Of the people had not
been what had decided elections because the
voters had stayed away from the local eau
cuses and allowed them and the conventions
to be manipulated by professional politicians.
A heavy vote has been polled for the man
who received the Irregular" nomination, but
not necessarily because the candidate would
have heen the choice of majority of the
voters,

Subscribers will find date printed on the
address label of their FARMER, and they
will do well to examine that date often to
see whether it is keeping ahead of time or
not. If it seems inclined to fall behind you
can find what to do for il by referring to
head of first column, first page. An ad-
vance date is a standing credit to a subscrib-
err, and we know of business men who are
in the habit of examining newspaper ac-
counts to know who is prompt to pay aud
who is not. Look we'll to the labels.

The Illinois State Fish. Culturists' Associ-
alton was organized at Elgin last month.
The object Of the association is to promote
the propagation of fish in the state both by
public and individual enterprise. lis DEM
onstrated fact that as large quantity of de-
licious food can be secured at small cost by
the artificial cultivation of fish as in any
other way, and in some sections Of the
country individual fsh-breediug enterprises
are being found quite profitable. There is
no reason why fsh-pOnds on the thousands
of sparkling brooks among the Green
Mountains may not prove as successful as
anywhere in the world, and we believe the
day is not far distant when fresh fish which
is now only seen as rare delicacy and luxu-
ny, shall be common article Of diet
among all classes.

The election of corporation officers is
always a matter of great importance to
good government and the faithful execu-
ton of the laws; but in view of the great
popular effort that is now exciting and in
teresting this whole community in favor
of temperance, law and order, the election
is Of more than ordinary importance. We
ought to choose officers who are commit
ted, and who are known friends to the
great reformatory idea of the day; men
who are not afraid to do right; men who
have proper conception of the situation;
men who are competent to weigh in the
balance the claims OF the public as well as
rights of individuals. We want men of
evenly balanced judgment as the official
governors of our little municipality. A
ticket composed of candidates of this char
acter, certainly ought-in a Christian com
munitv-to succeed. In order to effect
an object so preeminently desirable, ought
we not lay aside for this contest all our
political partisan predictions? Ought
we not to yield up all our political pref
erences for the common good of our town
and county?
There will undoubtedly be two tickets
before the people for them to choose
from. One of them will be made by
the friends of the temperance reform,
and the other, while it will undoubtedly
be the avoWed friends of law and order,
will not be made up by nor from the
friends of the temperance movement that
is now attracting the attention and public
favor of the true friends of temperance
reformation all over the country. So IN
mistakeably is the great public sentiment
| favoring the temperance reformation, that
| it would be evidence of insanity for any
| body of men to place an avowed anti-law-
and-order ticket before the people with the
| hope that it be a success at the polls. Yet
the only safe policy for temperance men to
| pursue on this question, is to vote for no
man who is not openly, avowedly
and fearles sly the friend and advocate of
the temperance policy that has been in
augurated and SO successfully prosecuted
in our town, and which has met with so
much popular consideration and favor, not
only throughout our own State, but
over nearly the whole Union. So far, the
work has been glorious triumph, and if
we wish to preserve what we have gained
in this noble reform, we must not abandon
the work, but must be diligent in we'll
doing, and show to the enemies of the ef-
fort that we are terribly in earnest, by the
election of municipal officers who are
neither asham ed nor afraid to acknowledge
by words and deeds, that in this contest
between the friends and enemies Of the
temperance reformation, they are unequiv-
ocally the friends and advocates of the
reformation. We anticipate vigorous
struggle, and in order to be successful at
the polls, it will require that every friend
of temperance, law and order, be on duty
and that he deposit his ballot for the re-
form temperance ticket

Trade Place Store Items

am compelled for this week to leave out
my article on the Middleman, as he effects the
Farmer, on account of sickness, that makes
one unable to attend to business, and ut
terly units me for writing such article as
the subject deserves. During my absence East,
find that my business friend, under the head
of Demagogueism, has been kind enough to ad-
vertise us q little at his own expense, and at
the same time confesses to his ignorance. In
our articles we give facts and fgures-much
thought in a little space, and all of our asser
tiOns, broad as they oe, are facts and our hon
est convictions. Our friend must be badly
hurt when he will stoop to use language be-
meath a gentleman, about our articles, and
confesses to such ignorance that he does not
know that Trade Place Store Items are our
advertisements, and are written to be read by
intelligent farmers, hundreds of whom have
told US of their appreciation Of them. We
have many more in store for them, and pro-
pose to give the farmer all the information in
regard to trade that we can. If any of our
friends differ with US on free trade, it is their
right. Ifany differ with us on monopolies or
credit business, it is their right, and if any
wish to controvert our statements with argu-
ments and facts, we will cheerfully notice
them, but low abuse, without arguments, will
be treated with contempt. We are GLAD to in
form our friends that we have large stock of
new goods on the way, and that they are
cheaper than ever. Don t fail, before you make
your purchases, to call at Trade Place Store.
We sell for cash--know that. We must sell
cheaper than time stores. We will do it.
