The following letter from nne of the
discoveries of the immense coal depos-
its near Carter Station, in this Terri
tory, will be of interest to our readers:
EVANSTON, WYo.,
October 10Th, 1875.
EDITOR OF THE LEArER:
At your request | furnish you below
"a description of the 400 feet coal veins
recently discovered in This section of
Wyoming:
The mine is situated in Uinta coun-
ty, Wyoming Territory, about twenty
five miles east of Utah, and eighteen
miles northwest of Carter Station on
the Union Pacific railroad. and has
been appropriately named the Mann
mouth Sandstone Mountain Coal mine.
1t was discovered by Mr.. Crocker, Of
Logan, Utah, from information he re-
ceived from an Old Indian, who
showed him II piece of fine looking
coal which he found while hunting.
He offered to show Mr.. Croker the
place II lie would give him ten dollars,
which offer WAS readily accepted. The
Indian then took HIM about fifty
miles To u spot about five miles from
the mine, which Mr.. Crscker found
by tracing the vein the Indian pointed
out To him.

Agricultural Horse Trots.

The New England Agricultural Society
places the exhibition of trotting horses on
the same plane as that of draft horses or
working oxen. The agricultural society
ought to know, but it may be questionable
whether premiums paid to the owners of
fast horses, which are carried about from one
agricultural fair to another, not to compete
with other horses, but to take the premiums
as per agreement among the owners, or to
take them because the horses are, and are
well known to be, the fastest in the country,
are quite as provocative of good farming as
the premiums paid for horses and oxen used
upon the farm, and subscribing directly aud
materially the production of the country.
The real fact is that the " agricultural horse
tIot" is continued because it brings money
into the treasury. Upon that ground let it
be defended il at all. Of course there is a
sense in which the improvement of the horse
is possible and beneficial, aud it need not be
confined exclusively to draft horses. But ev.
cry one understands what is meant by "the
trotting of trained horses" Ii is getting some
celebrated animal or animals TO exhibit a
speed abnormal, aud which either directly or
indi reetly has no value on the farm. The
surroundings and influences Of these trots are
not calculated to improve the manners, moi
stimulate the industries of those who take
most interest in them. Their continuance il
deplored by many who have submitted t
them on the pecuniary argument with men
tai reservation and grave misgivings-PrOU'
idence Journal
That is how the world outside Of the man
agement of agricultural fairs looks upon the
question of agricultural horse trots." We
are prepared to endorse every word OF the
above,as our readers who have noted the pc
sitioR we have always held, are aware. W,
believe it is time to separate the idea Of i'm
proving the breed Of horses for farmers, irou
that Of producing an animal which shall bC
valuable only as he is able, by careful Rurs
ing and attention and special training, to ge
over mile Of smooth, level track, in feather
weight buggy or under saddle, in fraction
of a second less time than his competition

About nine months ago Eben Thompson,
Deputy of the National Grange, came to
London, Ontario, and held meetings among
the farmers for tho purpose of organizing
oranges the result being in short time
thirteen oranges, the masters of which were
called together for the purpose Of organizing
Dominion Grange, which was done after
considerable discussion as TO whether we
should cut ourselves off from the National
Grange financially or not. Since then near
one hundred oranges have been organized,

Maple Sugar Making.

My experience has developed some facts
in the production of maple strip or sugar
which might, if observed, prove beneficial to
some. First Of all is cleanliness. No mat
ter of what sort the fixtures in use may be,
without this good sirup or sugar is not made.
Metallic fixtures are the best and least apt
to sour. Nearly every article used in con-
nection with sugar making can and should
be made of non.cerroding aHd non-dissolving
materials. Wooden buckets are imperfect
aud cumbersome, aud besides are liable to
sour. Sap spouts made of wood, especially,
are more liable to sour than any other arti-
ole used in the bush, and are generally least
looked after. When sour sap is found in
the buckets it will be where wooden spouts
are used. Some sugar makers have been
testing eaFthen crooks in place of buckets,
because they cost but little on the start, but

are soon done away with, and good Tin bnck-

An Odd Epidemic.

Wherever the English language is spoken,
there is just now mania for rushing into
courts and claiming heavy pecuniary dam
ages in the way of salve to heal alleged hurts
sustained by damaging publications. Thanks
to the rulings of judges, aud intelligent dis
elimination of juries, the expected verdicts in
the solid shape of dollars and cents, aud
pounds, shillings, and pence, have in almost
all cases been disalloWed, for the good rea-
son that honest and uuprejudiced freemen
recognize, in free aud unhackled press, the
real buwark of Augo-Saxon liberty-a pre-
cious boon which our AnglO-SaxOn brethren
eujoy in common with ourselves, and guard
quite as jealousy. Inasmuoh as the truth is
ever unpalatable to evil-doers, the numerous
suits recently instituted for libel may be ae-
counted for and as blameless men fear no
exposures, the late unanimous Yerdicts OF
quittal for editors aud publishers charged
with publishing ISLANDERS, can readily and
fairly DO accounted for. Above all things,
the world-eyen the rude and uncultlvated
portion of it-loves fair play.

Agricultural" TrOtting.

The Ne,c England Farmer is one of the
most valued aud ably conducted Of our ex-
changes. Its agricultural editorials are val.
liable reading, and for the past few months
have had more practical tone than we OBJ
served before. Its correspondence is volu-
minous and eminently practical, consequent
ly valuable. Besides, the Farmer has failed
ioignore political and other questions OF inter
est, but takes hand in" the live issues
Of the hour. Il has seemed 10 give a rather
cold shoulder to the grange movement, but
we observe with pleasure that it comes out
on the right side on the agricultural horse
trot" question, as may be seen from an arti-
clio in another place.
We think it is high time that tho farm
ers began to come around at the business
meetings aud elections of the agricultural
societies "meddliug with their own business. y
Lawyers aud professional politicians have
long enough made our laws, aud lawyers
horse jockeys aud political hacks have in the
same manner managed, Offered and con
trolled the agricultural societies. The eff
feet of these facts on the political status o.
the farmer has been considerably discussed
in these columns, and is quite likely not L
be ignored in the future so much as would
be agreeable to certain political wire-puller
both in and out Of the editorial profession.
But we regard the agricultural societies
farmers clubs, &C., as of quitc-os much i'm
portance as any other local affairs, and Will
the farmer sees the mote in the eye Of thl
politician and the party machine let him loOl
nearer home and see if there is not something
in his own eye or that of his own agricultur
al society. 1t is deplorable fact that I
large percentage Of the fairs and other so
called agricultural societies are mOuopolizec
and controlled, almost exclusively, by mel
who have no sympathics whatever in com
mon with the farmers, aud the chief objec
of many of the fairs, as well as that upoI
which the most money is expended, is tn,
race in which nineteen out of twenty farm
ers have no interest whatever. They pay thei
membership fee, bring in their cattle, farm
produce farm horses, &C., and while perhaps
$500 is paid in premiums on such thing
as the majority of the competitors present
there will be two or three thousand paid 70
trotting, for which not over a dozen person
will or can compete, and Of that dozen NOR
likely than otherwise not one will be
farmer
Now We protest against this as agains
every other unjust monopoly Let the vii
lage jockeys have their races, and gambl
and rob each other to their hearts content
but let the farmers take possession of the az
ricutural societies, as it has been said tn
Dutch took Holland, and instead Of the fair
being occasions where a few gay jockey
"gobble up" the money of the many homes
working people, let us see the money paid i
b. farmers honestly paid back in premium
on articles of value and use on ythe farm, o
on good farm productions, instead of beiu
paid in premiums on trained trotters whcl
have never seen a farm except from tn
cars or the fair ground since they were fou
years old.

The Gag Law Again.

The Post, Caledonian, Free Press, and
other papers which supported Poland in our
late congressional election and consequently
found it necessary to coincide with the judges
view of the law, have recently been getting
good deal of comfort to themselves from
the late report Of the Senate judiciary
committee to the effect that this was no gag
law at ALL As two members of this commit
tee, one Of them its chairman, were as instru-
mental in getting the law through the Sem
ate as Mr.. Poland was in getting it through
the House, and as they joined the judge in
the assertion last fall that the law could not
affect newspapers, we do not see as their re-
cent report is anything to be greatly wonder
ed at.
But it so happens that the Senate judiCia-
ry committee are not the tribunal who de-
eide upon the meaning Of laws in this coun-
try. That belongs to the courts, and the
question is likely to be decided upon there,

writ of habeas corpus issued in the case Of

The attorney general of the United States
thinks the law as applicable to libel, and
that an editor can be carried from dista Mt
part of the country to answer to a charge Of
libel brought by a man whose home is in
Michigan, and the attorney general ought to
know as much about law as these truly loyal
Vermont editors, or even Judge Poland OF
Mr.. Edmunds and his committee, though We
presume he does not. We await further de.
velopments Of Mr.. Buells case with interest
Meanwhile it is rather amusing to see q
strong republican organ, in commenting on
this decision Of the Judiciary committee, put
such stress on the fact that two of its mem
bers are democrats, as though, while ae'
knowledgiug the fallibility OF members oil
their own party, they regard a member Of
the other party as the embodiment of wis
dom and reliability One would think from
the way this fact has been alluded to il
several Of the organs that it was conceded
point that the testimony of two democrats
was entitled to much more weight, beyond
question, than that of four republicans, in
question, like this, entirely independent Of
party politics, aud perhaps these organ,
have got nearer the truth this time thar
they intended to. Who knows? ID.

Express business has its ups and downs
like other business. We ditlately through
an agent of the U. s. and Canada Express
Company that since the first of January
they had run loss of $50 1000, and nobody
cares. The charges Of this and other ex-
press companies have been such as in many
cases to equal actual robbery, and the graft
tude of the whole country is due to the post
Office department which has stepped in and
carried bundles of four pounds or less for a
price that, compared to that charged by ex-
press companies, is merely nominal. An at
tempt was made by the friends OF the express
companies, the other day, to have this class
Of matter excluded from the mails, but,
thanks to the friends Of the people and the
opponents Of monopolies, it was defeated, and
Uncle Sam still remains the great benefactor
he has been through the post office depart
ment. We don't know Of greater or more
unjust monopoly than the express companies,
unless it is the telegraph companies. If the
carrying of small parcels through the mail
pinches the express companies little, the
common people will enjoy hearing them
howl.
We know of nobody more responsible for
the "hard times" than these corporations
who, having reyeled in high tariffs during
"war times" are now straining every nerve
to perpetuate the system of extortion by
which they have been amassing fortunes
at the expense of that class of honest toilers
who, spite of all they can do, sec the mort

smaller, year by year II they sometimes
