COMMENDABLE CAUTION.

Too much praise cannot be given
to Capts. Starr and Morgan, of the
North Pacific and Eliza Anderson,
for the way in which they have re-
fused to bring Indians over from
Victoria to the Sound ports. Some
steamboatmen, in their anxiety to
make money. would have carried the
filthy wretches and cared nothing
so long as they got money. But
these gentlemen have used COM
mendable precaution to keep the
malady away from our homes and
should be gratefully remembered
for it.
With their filthy habits and total
disregard of all sanitary regulations,
the only wonder to us is that the
epidemic has not broken out among
the Victoria Indians before. They
keep a drove of carrion-e eating dogs
about them and throw their garbage
of every description about the doors
of their squalid huts. Soap is their
pet horror and for water they have
an aversion that is tantamount to
hydrophobia. Hence the only sur
prise is that the tribes about these
Northern waters have not been de-
cimated, ere this, by the ravages OF
the disease.
We believe that Captains Starr
and Morgan will be the gamers by
this policy, in the long run. They
deserve patronage for what they
have done, whether they receive it
or not. And that our towns about
the Sound have escaped the ravages
of this frightful pestilence, let us
all, as in duty bound, be truly
thankful.
The San Francisco papers have
not yet got done talking about Miss
Waters, the ancient spinster who
welded a Mongolian in that city,
last week. It is such good news to
all the old maids, you know. And
if Susan B. Anthony dares to come
up here, we'll set Han Fan after
her, provided he can screw up his
courage to the sticking pointer
rice cersa. Come along, old gal.
and bring your blankets.
The disciples of Barclay & Per
kins over the Straits, have had a
first-class scare during the past few
days. Some heir at-law of Tom Col
Inns, in San Francisco telegraphed
up that 800 Fenians had chartered 6
vessel for a raid upon the Victoris
banks. SOW the Bulls would "wel
come them with bloody 'ands te
'orsepitable graves" you know.

DEEP PLOWING.

1t often happens that some theoreti-
cal recommends deep blowing, without
stating the whole case; and sometimes
farmers iniure their lands by following
tho advice of these writers; some of
whom never plowed rod OF land in
their lives; but as they are often admit
ted to the columns of respectable agri-
cultural papers, whose editors are not
practical farmers, their subscribers are
sometimes inclined to follow their IN
s,ructions, if not well posted in the mat
ter. and often to the injury OF their
lands. 1t is sheer insanity, so to speak,
for a farmer to plow his land foot
keep, where it has but three or four
inches Of fertile surface soil, as the good
is buried under mass Of subSoll, that
is as barren as the sea shore. The plth
of the whole matter lies Just here-nev
er plow over two inches deeper at
time than your fertile surface soil eX-
tends. Then if you put on little ma
nure, aud can get a good ''catch" Of red
clover upon it, TO be turned under the
second or third year, blowing two in
ches deeper than before; andif you keep
mn this system of turning under crop
of clover occasionally, the second crop
of the season, Saving the first for hay,)
rolling it down flat after rain, so as to
he covered well, you can in few years
obtain a soil eight or twelve inches
deep, where but three or four inches be-
for existed.

The March Of Renson.

There are certain pretended philoso-
piers and wiseacres who, w6en you speak
10 them of the progress of mankind. shake
their heads and talk of the good old days
before steam was applied aud the Morse
telegraph invented. Away with such
humbug. The great discoveries which
have enriched mankind united by wire
link great nations separated by mighty
seas, dwarfed Space with Speed, and re-
duced disease 10 its minimum, cannot by
any exercise Of ingenuity be demonstra-
ted To be arght but blessings.
Among the sanatory discoveries of the
nineteenth century is one, that in view Of
the salutary influence il has eXerted, de-
serves a foremost place. We allude TO
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters which is one
OF the most deservedly celebrated tonics
and alternatives of the present day. The
most unimpeachable testimony establish
es the fact that this popular medicated
stimulant and corrective annihilates indi-
gestion, constipation, urinary complaints,
malarial disorders, and many affections OF
the sensitive organs. I'm the mining re-
gions and new clearings of the West, il is
regarded by the inhabitants as an indis-
pensable means of preventing, a. well rs
curing chills and fever, and there Is
scarcely city or town in the Union, some
of whose dsniZens have not horne witness
to its efficacy i'm remedying the first nam
ed class of maladics.
As an invigorant, appetizer and carmi-
native, Hostetter's Bitters are incompara-
bly, the most effective and purest. Their
basis of fine old rye, the most healthful al
coholic spirit attainaLle, is Of itself no
mean tonic, but its strengthening proper
ties are increased fifty fold by the yegeta-
bic extracts which it holds in solution,
and TO which the surprising quality Of
the BiIters are due.

PUBLIC SPEAKING.
TIE GREAT REFORM SPEECH
OE TIE AGE!


OF THE AGE!
Was delivered by John III. Strlder,
ESD. of Halltown, w. Va, before
Gorcsville Grange, April %, 1876.
Mr. Strider's speech was replete with
novel aud practical suggestions; logical
persuasive and convincing. 1t is to be
hoped that ne may consent to It's pub
LEGATION; not only for the good OF the
order, but mankind generally would be
benefited by his sound suggestions.
Mr.. 5. was followed 10y Jas links
ESD, Worthy State Lecturer tor the
State of Maryland in one OF the most
graphic, happy and brilliant speeches.
il has been our pleasure to listen TO,
since the days of your gifted Bedlnger
Capt FL. Chiswell of Frederick
county, Md, also spoke and presented
tn? startling fact, that since 1850, the
productive capital of this country has
declined from G5 to 80 per cent, and
that the nOn-prodUciiUe capital such as
money, stock and bonds, had increased
in greater ratio; this fact should set
the farmers to thinking, and to an effort
to check this rapid transfer Of wealth to
the monopolies.
Mr.. Strider was again called upon, to
make some practical remarks for the
local good of the order, which he did
in a most Jealous manner, clearly ex-
hibiting his deep earnestness, and the
genuine snap and vim of the man. lie
coutended that by united will, power,
aud concerted action, great good could
be done for the country by the farmers
as an honest upright class.
Had such eloquent and forcible
speeches, pregnant with rich sugges-
tions and unquestioned truth, been made
outside the Grange, in the interest Of
party, they would be heralded all over
the land. H. ii.

GOOD WHITEWASH.

The following described whitewash
is very durable, and may be used on
wood, stone or brick: Stake half
busbel of unslaked lime with boiling
water, keeping it covered during the
process. Strain it, aud add peck of
salt dissolved in warm water; three
pounds of ground rice put in boiling
water and boiled to thin paste; halt q
pound clear glue, dissolved in warm
water; mix these well together, and let
the mixture stand for several days.
Keep the wash thus prepared in ket-
tie portable furnace, and when used put
it on as hot as possible with either
painters or whitewash brushes.

TO DISSOLVE BONES.

II farmer can save so or 100
pounds of bones, it will pay to dissolve
them by packing them in water-tight
cask in unleached ashes; then fill in all
the water cask will hold, keeping it full
for about two months, when the bones
will be as mass of jelly Then mix
them, ashes and all, with four or five
times their bulk of soil, and you will
have = valuable fertilizer.

A Bold AND SUCCESSFUL RoBBERY.-
About three miles from BurkittsYille, on
the road leading to Rhorersville, resides
Mr.. John Champion, a bachelor, 80 years
of age, and with him an aged sister
Now it appears that some days ago Mr..
Champion was paid the sum of $500,
which he had promised TO loan TO q
friend on Tuesday. But between 8 and
9 o'clock on Monday night last his resi-
dence was visited by two white men,
one of whom was masked, who demand
ed of him all the money in his posses
sion. His extreme age rendered him
almost helpless in defending himself
against the robbers, and he endeavored
to save his money by telling them that
he had none. But this plea would not
avail with the robbers, and they finally
presented pistol and threatened TO kill
him on the spot if he did not produce
the funds This sort of PERSUASION
brought the old gentleman to terms and
he fetched ont the 500 and handed it
to them, when they left the premises.
The unmasked robber seems TO have
been stranger, as he was not recognized
by either Mr.. Champion or his sister, but
the one who was masked is believed to
belong to the neighborhood and to have
had knowledge Of the fact that the
old man was just at that time possessed
of the 800. II is to be hoped that both
will be detected .-HagersiOwn Mall
