HEALTH OF FARMERS Massa>
chusetts Board of Health is out with its
fourth annual report, in which is to be
found an interesting paper on the lon
gevity of the farmers life. I. says the
evidence collected from physicians
throughout the State for the last twenty
eight years, shows that the average
length of the life of farmer in that
State is 55 and fourth years. This is
much longer than any other class of
citizens. The class most nearly apr
preaching farmers, viz, outdoor me-.
chanics, live only 50 and a half years on
an average. The almost unani nous
belief of those physicians and the COM
piler of the paper is, that farmers might
live much longer than they do, by ex-
ercising more care in choosing, cooking
and eating their food, in avoiding. over
work and exposure to changes of
weather, and the use of foul drinking
water. Their food consists too much
of pork, pies and salaratus, bread and
cakes. The cookery is bad, and meals
are eaten too quickly for good digestion
when work hurries. More fruits and
vegetables should be eaten and more
attention paid to cleanliness R,ual

CRowDING THE MoURNERs. Mr.. Sheat-
man, clerk of Plymouth Church and in
innate friend of Mr.. Beecher. as well as
associate counsel in the scandal trial,
has taken astrip to England. wha-e he
is making speeches in vindication of the
late defendant. He is an arrant calum>
niator, as oil will agree who read what
be says of the American clergy and their
practices. In attempting to abate tho
odium attaching to his friend, pastor
and client, he says it is very common
in this country for the ministers to sa-
lutte the female members of their cons
gregation with kiss, and that Mr.. Bee
cher. instead of excelling in that kind of
friendship, Is rather indisposed to it.
This is columny SO atroeious that no
wonder people who care but little for
the ministry, but who regard truth and
purity of society, indignantly condemn
it, while calling attention to the fact
that Mr.. Shearman's record is such as
to make his declarations of the least
possible value. As the former friend
and counselor of the noted James Fisk,
Jr., and as reckless lawyer whose rep
utation is so bad that he is o-ltlawed by
the legal fraternity, ke may be fit for

SLAUGHTER HoUsE.-We called
at Snyder's slaughter house at
the head Of the bay, a short time
ago and were kindly shown thro'
and around the establishmentby by
the proprietor. His manner of
decoying cattle and sheep to
death is decidedly novel and
proves that experience in beefol-
ogy, after all, is more than mon
ey. He has a fine stream DIVA
ter running through his killing
house, keeping everything clean
and supplying his kettles. A
sewer leads out to the bay, car
rying away all c offal. The
windlass for hois,ing carcasses
is Of double power and is a new
invention. Under the same roof
are the stables, kitchens, bed
rooms, hay ricks anG store
house. The slaughter house is
one of the best north of San
Francisco in all it's departments.
