Down in Connecticut they are getting dis.
gusted with the system of robbery by means
of town aid to railroads. The towns in that
state now owe nearly fourteen millions, and
a bill prohibiting towns from giving their
money or lending their credit to railroads
slides through the Legislature easily. A bill
is also being pushed requiring all public
halls, churches, &c, to be provided with
doors swinging outward. These bills, the
recent "tramp" legislation, &C., attest th'
level-headedness of the Connecticut law,
makers.

Tho purchase of redeemlng blood!
lie sure will my deliverance be-,
Who gave His only son for me.
Not that l Ger deserved Thy love
BY thought or act Thou could'st approve.
He paid the heavy debt | owed,
And purchased me with precious blood.
How dare l, then, by thought or word
Contend with Thee my gracious Lord
As thine l am by right divine,
My will should sure be hid in Thine.
Thy will be done! and hallowed be
Thy precious name, dear Lord, by me;
Thy holy spirit Lord impart.
Set up Thy kingdom in my heart.
Then shall there be no aching void,
The power of sin shall be destroyed
Thy perfect peace be known Of me
When my poor heart is stayed on Thee.

We find that some did not observe the
notice given two weeks ago that there would
be no FARMER last week. This, then, will
inform those who missed the paper that they
have not lost one, but that it was omitted
for the reason that our printers were tired
out and needed a breathing spell. They
have had it, and now return to their labOrs
with renewed vigor. No one will lose any
thing by the omission.

The Beecher. Tilton trial has at last been
brought to a close by a disagreement of the
jury, after being kept out eight days. Three
stood for the conviction Of the defendant,
Beecher, and nine for acquittal. The disa-
greement was on points Of fact and y%eracity
Of witnesses.
Precisely what good has resulted to the
country from this shameful trial it will be
hard to tell, but the harm it has done is
easily seen.
Though Beecher is not convicted, he has
failed to satisfy the jury of his innocence.
Their verdict is simply this three of them
say his guilt is proved the other nine say it
is not, and that is far from declaring his in
nocence. To lose even one juryman is
greatly damaging to Beecher, and is almost
enough to satisfy Tilton. Still it is best to
throw the mantle of charity over the great
divine and believe him innocent 50 long as
he is not proved otherwise.
A new trial is not at all likely to be had
nor desired by either party, as neither would
stand in any better light before the wOrlt
than he does now.

Nothing could be more gratifying to all
who have the good of the countrY-not par
tisan spite and prejudice-at heart than the
indications which show that the South Is be-
coming every day more disposed to bury deep
the Ratchet and with it all the hatred and hos
tilities of the late war, and that the centennial
anniversary of the existence of the United
States will find them still united, and with
brotherly love and mutual patriotic zeal pre-
vailIng above all partisan and sectional feel
ing. The presence Of ex-confederate officers
and soldiers, marching in the same column
with the United States troops at the Bunker
Hill centennial, the patriotic and pacific tone
OF the reports Of the affair in all respectable
southern papers, and all the other " signs Of
the times make it very evident that the
South is quite as willing as the North-more
willing than some northern p~artisaus wish
to accept the results of the war, and, all
sections of the country joining hands, tC
march forward to the glorious future that
opens before us as the first nation Of the
world. Not the greatest, perhaps, in mill
tary glory and conquest, though wherever
called upon our arms have won a proud re,
cord, but first in actual influence with other
powers, first IN internal wealth, first in the in
tellectual world, and first and grandest in the
practical demonstration of the feasibility o
popular government on the broadest and most
liberal scale.

pose. It enacts that no railway shall
charge more than two cents mile for
passage money, except when the
amount is a fraction of five cents, in
which case the fraction may be added.
It provides that suits for violation of
the law may be brought in the Circuit
Court of the county wherein the in
fraction was committed, the action to
be brought in the name of the State.
The penalty is fixed at not less than

other half to the school fund of the

Mr.. G. E. Morrow, of the Western

to which this industry is growing in

a map giving the regious in Illinois.
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota in
which dairying has become prominent,
and history of the rise and progress
of the business was given also a dis
cussion of the obstacles and circum-
stances favoring prosperity in these
States. Liability to extreme drought
was named as the mos serious OBJ
stacle. The cheap lands and abun-
dance, and cheap food in summer and
winter, except in times of great drought,
give marked advantage. The cheese
product of these four States for 1874,
was estimated at 5000. 900 pounds,
Wisconsin and Northern Illinois pro-
ducing most of this and about equal
quantities. Iowa produced about 1, $780,
900 pounds Minnesota but few hun
dred thousands of pounds. The prob
able increase of cheese product for 1875
was given as 20 per cent.

A Razor that Talked.

A city man who has had one of his
country relaAions sscome down" to
spend Christmas with him, was asked
for the loan of his razor by his guest.
Wishing to afford every facility, he
put an extra edge on his best Damas-
Gus, and passed it over. It came back
with the edge turned, and the user re-
marked that he couldn't exactly get
the razor used to his baird, fur he
didn't know what it was doin', some
how"
The gentleman glanced at the So baird"
in question, and next day handed his
visitor another razor, which had done
duty in chiropedal operations but.
repenting of the act soon after, visited
the room of the member from Cranber-
~ Center to reclaim it, where he found
him before the glass with the instru-
ment going through the aforesaid

teazle or pair of wool cards, with the
hair flying like shower of iron wire,
and now and then patch of skin COM
ing with some of the more vigorous
pulls. The words of apology that rose
to the lips of the host were checked by
his guest, who paused in his labor and
turning from the glass. observed (:
None of yer new-fashioned razors fur
