THE FUTURE OF THE UNITED
STATES as a FOOD-PRODUC>
ING COUNTRY.

A few years ago, in 1869, when the
whole country was running wild about
our manufacturers, and not one had
word of recognition or encouragement
for our great agricultural interests, We
took the ground that the fields of Ameri-
ca were Of hundred fold more imp0r-
lance than its factories. This doctrine
was regarded at the time as the rankest
heresy. Events are demonstrating that
We were right.
We had = conversation the other day
with a gentleman who has recently vis>
tied England, Hon. D. E. Eyre; and
he said to us that he was astonished to
see how largely the people Of Great
Britain were dependant on the United
States for food. Everywhere he found
American wheat, flour, pork, beet, ap-
pies, canned fruits, oysters, etc. An
| immense BUSINESS has grown up during
the past few months in shipping fresh
beef, in compartments, in ocean steam
ers from New York to England, Scotland
and Ireland. Mr.. Eyre says he saw
tons Of beef turned out on the docks o.
GLASGOW as fresh and sweet as it WAS the
day it left New York. 1t was at once
dispersed, by rail, to all parts OF the
surrounding country.
All this points to a great future for the
farmers of the west. The cities Of En-
gland are steadily increasing in size

the time will come when all England
will be one great villa, drawing its foot
supplies almost altogether from foreigl
lands; and the United States can vel
compete for this immense trade. III

Saturday evening last few minutes past
eight o'clock the mill of Bean Bros. & Leu
mant situated about mile and half west
from Main street on the Cannon river was dis
covered to be on fire in the second story, the
fire had gained such Roadway before It was
seen that it was impossible to do anything to-
wards saving the building, most OF the flour in
the mill was saved; about a thousand bushels
Of wheat was burned. The wheat house across
the road was saved by little exertion. The
wind was blowing hard from the south accom-
panied by snow but notwithing some three OF
four hundred people turned ont. The fire de-
partment deserve great credit for hauling the
steamer BY hand to the fire although too late
to do any good. One would suppose that q
city as large as Faribrult could afford horse,
mule, ass, or OK for the engine, the tax for this
would be bnt trile to each tax payer and the
the amount of property which would be saved
in one or two fires like the above and the
grange mill would amount to many times
more than the expense Of the animal and his
keeping The total loss on the mill will prob
ably not exceed $4,000. Insured for 1000 in

Here is fine piece OF poetry-something
out of the common order:
SWEETHEART OF MOI

out of the common order:
SWEETHEART OF MOBILE.
Sweetheart--I call you sweetheart still
As iu yonr windows laced races,
When both our eyes were wont to fill,
One year ago with tenderness.
call you sweetheart by the law
Which gives ME higher right to feel,
Though be here in Malaga.
And you in far Mobile.
mind me when, along the bay
The moonbeams slanted all the night;
When on my breast your dark locks lay,
And in my hand your hand SO white;
This scene the summer nighttime saw,
And my soul took its warm anneal
And bore it here to Malaga
From beautiful Mobile.
The still and white magnolia grove
Brought winged odors to your cheek,
Where my lips scared the burning love
They could not frame the words to speak;
Sweetheart, you were not ice to thaw;
| Your breast was neither stone nor steel;
| | count tonight, at Malaga.
| Its throbbings, at Mobile.
What matter if you bid me now
To go my way for others sake!
WAS lOL NY 1OVesSedl Oh your DTOW
! For death, and not for days to break?
Sweetheart our trothing holds no flaw;
| There was no crime and no conceal,
| clasp you here in Malaga
As erst in sweet Mobile.
| see the bay-road, white with shells,
| hear the beach make low refrain,
The stars lie tiecked like asphodels
Upoa the green wide water plain--
These silent things as magnets draw,
They bear me hence with rushing keel,
A thousand miles from Malaga
TO matchless, fair Mobile.
Sweetheart, there is no sea SO wide.
No time in life, nor tide to flow,
Can rob my breast of that one bride
held so close year ago.
| see again the bay we saw
| l hear again your signs reveal,
l keep the faith at Malaga
Iplighted at Mobile.
