Great efforts were made here by the
whisky ring" to keep witnesses out
of the way Of officers OF the law, dur
| ing the recent session of the Grand
Jury, and with some degree of success.
IL is currently reported that one of the
saloon men met an officer near the
ferry between Pella and Knoxville,
and after long conference the saloon
man returned to Pella az fast as his
horse could carry him, while the Off
Ger came along after him at his leis-
ure. Runners were at once started
out oil over town to notify witnesses
to "come up missing" when the officer
appeared. The consequence was that
large number of persona. were seized
with a sudden desire to go fishing and
hunting. 1t Is also currently report
ed that the stock of whisky belong
ing to the saloon keepers has been re.
moved to the country to keep 1T from

building, S0x25 feet, two stories high,
with basement, is going up on

Brunswick, n. j.
Our Holland citizens are more back
ward with their gardening than ever
before, in consequence of the back
ward spring.
Book Beer day was duly celebrated
here by the lovers of the foaming
beverage. The disgusting sight Of
a woman going into one of the saloons
and taking a drink of beer with a
number of men was a part Of the pro-
pramme. IL is said that all took their
drinks standing with their hats on,
and that bar-room politeness was
"spread on" profusely.
A memorial to Congress Is -haiHe
circulated and numerously signed,
asking that body to extend aid to the
proposed Continental Railway, of

tlemen suppose their teachings on this sub
ject to be in the interest of the class to
whom they address themselves specifically.
They probably feel called upon to stir up
the farmers on the currency business, rather
than on the best modes of cultivating the
soil. But there are several very able and
learned men on questions of political econ
omy and finance in the country, who
unhesitstIngly believe that the kind of doc
trine taught by the Indiana Farmer is the
very worst for the farmer that can be de-
vised. To this awful system of selling all
that he raises for prices determined
by a gold standard and paying the inflated
prices OF paper money values for all he
buys the farmer is indebted for the great
or portion of the ills that Cypress him
Very capable men honestly believe
this, but the Farmer is GER
tain they are mistaken, and so
sure of it that 1t goes outside of its proper
field, and undertakes the somewhat stu
pendous task of regulating the CURRENCY sys-
tenn of this nation, The Farmer is some
thing of a paper, and it may exert a telling
influence to prevent men from believing that
a dollarto-dsy ought to be a dollsrto-morrow,
for the best interests of both business and
farming, but, if so, men must be led by very
light influences. For certainly there never
was a greater undertaking by feebler efforts
than this of the Indiana Farmer, in leaving
it's speciality of industry for that of riding a
political hobby.

great natural advantages, but in

sary, which he specifies as follows: A dou-
Die track with steel rails and durable sleep
ers OF the whole main line and some sec
tons; some Improvement in the gradients
ofthe road; fresh extensions and connections;
change of guage indispensable; improved
terminal arrangements to provide sufficient
storage for Increased traffic; iron bridges to
be substituted for wooden, when the latter
require renewal; speculation in coal
fields, and all other speculations. should be
avoided. No outside rings should be per-
mitted 10 carry out any of the above mem
toned improvements. a liberal .expendi-
ture is required, but the precise amount 20
be expended from time TO time, can only he
ettled after the most careful consideration.
There is, probably. no better railway i'm this
world which would better repay such large
expenditure as this, if a really good man
agement, supported by a stable constituency
OF proprietors can be permanently secured.
Capt. Tyler recommends the organization M
a StrOhG committee In EDgiand to control
the arrangement with regard to fresh cspital
aud expenditure generally. The report
strongly urges the avoidance of connections
wherever possible, and instances the great
system penetrating the Alleghanies.

Improbable rates. Investors are told 10
make allowance for the depressing effects of

line from Buffalo west is in ex-

the advantages of a Canadian connection via
Ihe international bridge, and concludes as
