Enterprise Grange, Indiana, is pre-
sided over by Mr.. J. M. Hines, who
is bachelor, and the Grange proposes
to do all it can to help him in getting
wife to cheer and comfort his decli-
ming years.
An incident shows in what direction
opinion in regard to Grange movement
if drifting, is the publication by each
of two Cincinnati dailies of a leading
editorial favorable to it. Until the
appearance of these articles, the com.
mercial papers of the city had seldom
mentioned the Changers, except to
sneer or laugh at them. Grange B,,l-

The St. James Grange gives dra-
matte entertainment at Acadia Plan
tation, Saturday, May 18th, 1876, for
the purpose Of raising funds to build
Grange Hall and school house. I'm
usual exertions are being made to make
the performance asuccess. The ladies
have got their heads and hearts at
work, and the men are prepared to
open their purses to aid in the good
work. May their most sanguine ex-

Mr.. e. L. Sykes, the able Secretary
Of the County Grange, is about to pre-
pare a full and thorough report--so
far as the members of the Grange are
concerned--of the products Of the
county, including stock, during the
season of 1855. We hope that The
totals will be consolidated and given
to us for publication, in order that it
may be put on file for comparison with
corresponding statement for the cur
rent year, and that it will include rice,
chufa, clover, millet, Herds grass, and
particularly sorghum.
We do net think that these last
items are mentioned in the list of pro-
ducts upon which reports are solicited,
but we think that they would furnish
heavy aggregates. Aberdeen Miss,
Examiner.
Secretary Kelley informs the Ma
tional Granger, that, of late the order
appears to be every where animated
anew: that an average of nearly 200
new Oranges is reported every month,
not withstanding it seems that almost
the entire Union is occupied. This
same vigor and interest is also mani
tested among nearly all the old Oranges,
in which the members are becoming
more prompt and regular in their at
tendance, and are entering more freely
and with increased interest into the
discussion of matters pertaining to the
good of the order and to the better
ment of the agricultural interest gen.
orally. There can be no question but
that the order has passed fairly through
its experimental stages, and is now set
Ting down to permanent work. Its
future efforts will be directed more to
the Strengthening and consolidation of
the Oranges already in existence, than
to organizing new ones.
The State Grange of Ohio had a
very pleasant and successful session.
The Masters address was very able,
and showed the Oranges Of Ohio to be
in good working order. The State
Secretary's report showed that the Or
der had increased in Ohio in numeri-
cal, moral and financial strength.
Ninety-eight new Oranges had been
and only one Grange had
surrendered its charter, and that had
