CoNcERTs.--For several months past, Prof
G. W. Walker, a welllknown resident of this
county, has been engaged in teaching classes
in vocal music at Sligo and at Tennaliytown
D. G., until quite an interest has been
awakened among the young people upon this
subject. On Monday and Tuesday evenings
April 10Th and 20ih, large and appreciative
audiences assembled in the Nj +. churches at
the above named places and were very de-
lightfully entertained by select choir from
his singing association in the upper part Of
this county. Prominent among the female
voices were the Misses Boyer, Hobbs, Purdum,
and Lawson, all of whom acquitted them
selves finely. Miss Alice Walker presided al
the organ.
Revs. Mr. Mitchell, Laury, and Browning
were present, and publicly expressed them
selves highly gratifed with the entertainment.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

! ROCKVILLE LIBRARY 1t is strange 10 look
stlulons which are didaclic and beneficial
to the public, especially TO the youthful mind,
by public men, who are intrusted with such
interests. II seems all interests, save those
pecuniary are lost sight Of, and all energies
for their preservation and success are relaxed,
and lie inert.
We have reference 10 the Rockville Library.
The managers have become so indifferent as to
lis continuation, and so retro-gradient its
progress that n meeting has not been held for
several years past, (if we are not mistaken, J
not an addition Of hook has been made,
membership fees have not been paid in, there
fore, the business success and interest lies
PROSTATE. Though to the officials should not
be wholly imputed the daccidity Of interest in
the institution, the stockholders and yearly
members ought to partially bear the burden.
They take from the library books and read
them, and, through negligence, lay them
aside, without again thinking Of their return.
That is not the only violation of which they
are guilty. They loan the books to non mem
bers of the Association, by whom they are
tom, diried and not fit to be replaced in the
library again. Many useful ard costly books
have heen destroyed in this manner
The present Librarian, who, like his prede-
cessor, has kept the books Of the library in the
very best condition and makes an efficient off
cial, publishes notice to the members. and
to all whom it may concern, in which he
says: My term Of office having long since
expired but being DESTROYS during this inter-
regnum of preserving the books intrusted 10
my care, hereby notify stockholders and SUBJ
scribers, that from this date no book will be
taken from the case until some further action
on the part of the Association. All persons
holding books belonging to the Association
are requested TO make an immediate return of
the ssme.'
1t is to be hoped that the directors of the
Association will. al once call meeting and
revive the interest of the institution, whereby
the latest editions of literature may be added
to the now many volumes in possession of the
institution, also procuring pabnum for the
Unsuitable Merati of our town, who disclose
such edifyng and prosnic eloquence fine met
rical and touching poctical talent (?)

Directors of the Masonic Mutual Bene-
fit Association was held at Staunton,

from this county. AT the meeting on
the 22d February the annual election OF
officers will be held, and other matters
of importance will be brought before
the association: 1t is hoped that there
will be full attendance OF the board,
as well rs of all members aud all Ma
sons interested in the welfare of the
association. For the benefit of our
brother Masons, remarks the Free Press,
not familiar with the principles of this
association We will state that it is an
organization among Masons for mutual
insurance, conducted upon the most
economical principles-there being but
one salaried officer; the Secretary and
Treasurer, who receives moderate
compensation to be fixed from time to
time by the Board. Upon the death of
any member the widow receives within
sixty days, the sum of one dollar for
every member of the association.
1t has been in existence since 1871,
since which time its benefits have been
experienced in this county and this
town. 1t has never failed to meet its
obligations promptly and faithfully, and
we bespeak for it full measure of sue

SEEDS THAT WILL GROW !

An experience Of nearly THIRTY
n Years in the Flower and Vegetable
Seed business has convinced us that there
are but TWO KINDS OF SEED In the
world, viz: those that will, and those that
will not, grow. The former are priceless
the latter worthless. The sale or utter
ance Of worthless Seed, through cupidity
or lack Of business standing, raises sad
havoc with the business OF legitimate
Seedsmen. For nearly thirty years past
We have made the growth and procure
ment Of NONE BUT GOOD SEED q
study, until We are proud to say foreign
or native seed growers from whom We
procure such Of our supplies as we do not
raise upon our own farms, never think Of
offering us any but First Class Seeds. To
this one point we attribute our success,
and the universal verdict Of the Press and
People is, that Seed procured Of BRIG0e
& BROTHER WILL GROW.
To give customers the benefit Of our
own actual experiences, we issue an LIE

WORK, which is sent to any address pre-
paid for the mere nominal subscription
price Of % cents, which amount b re-plAc.

ShepherastOwn, West Va:
How TO Make Farming a Sure
Thing.


No business, occupation, or employ
ment is so sure 10 be remunerative as
farming, if the necessary conditions to
success ere complied with. And no
conditions are more simple and easy
than those required of the farmer.
Figs will not grow on thistles, "out
of nothing nothing comes" is as true OF
agriculture as of morals or physics; and
vet thousands Of farmers are complain
ing of want of success in farming be-
cause they are simply expecting some
thing to grow out of nothing. Their
father and their fathers fathers, since
the first settlement of the country, have
been taking off the cream which they
still expect to rise, when in fact the
supply is exhausted. Plant food has
been carried off from the farm so long
that there is little if any left to mature
their crops. The hen that had laid the
golden egg las been killed.
Tender plants from costly seed spring
up, and arc many Of them devoured by
half starved insects. While the remain
der can live and grow on air and mois-
ture, they thrive in early spring, but
there being no strength in the soil, the
scorching sun bakes the ground and
drying them up, so that there are but
meagre returns for all the outlay of la
Dor. Nature is not TO blame. The soil
is not to blame. Farming as science
is not to blame; but the farmer is to
blame who expects figs from thistles, or
something to come from nothing. The
bin is not TO blame because the feed has
been removed, when you 60 in the dark
to fill your measure. The remedy is
easily suggested for the bin; make it
self-!eeding so that as you remove the
grain ut the bottom is fed by an uhfail-
ing supply at the top. The land, if de-
lletcd Of soil, plant food by long cult
va;ion, mus: be again filled with 1t and
then kept full. That is the only way
10 make farming a sure thing. Who
ever knew field that would produce
fifty bushels of wheat or one hundred
bushels of corn to the acre, TO suffer
much from insects or dry weather.
Make one acre rich in elements OF plant
food to the depths of fifteen inches or
two feet and you may be sure it will
never be too wet if properly drained for
crops to grow, and never too dry, though
two months without rain, if the surface
is kept stirred, to produce remunera-
tive crop, making the soil rich with
thorough culture will make farming al
ways a sure thing. Nothing else half
so sure.
