There are large number of farmers in
the present legislature, many of them mel
of capacity, and some of them experienced
in legislative affairs. While doing their
duty to the entire community as they should,
are there not some special agricultural in
terests to which they should look, and OF
which, if they neglect them other members
may justly say, when questioned, "Why
didn't your own men attend to them ?"
Governor Fairbanks has made an mpor-
tant recommendation in regard to the Board
of Agriculture. Governor Peck made a
similar one in his message Is the one to
be ignored as the other was? There is much
legislation already on the statute book, es-
pecially in regard to taxation, that bears
hardly upon the landed interest. Is there
no farmer member who will examine into
the subject, and ventilate il before the House
and the people Are there not matters in
connection with our system of public schools
in which farmers are particularly interested,
that might be discussed, and the laws reat-
ing thereto be perhaps improved Are
there no leaks in the treasury, no mis-appro-
priated or wasted public moneys, that the
farming interest is particularly concerned
about, and which agricultural members
ought to see to, and which will not be seen
to unless they do ? There is a spirit of re-
form and investigation in the air II seems
to us that our farmer members ought to be
at least as sensible of it as those belonging
to other professions and lines of business.
The want of leaders cannot be pleaded In
this legislature. There are men there capa-
bic Of taking hold of these matters effect
lively. II they fail in doing so, and thus fail
in meeting the just expectations of those
most active in putting them where they are,
they must not complain If they are held re-
sponsible for their dereliction from duty.

FEMALE EXTRAvAGANcE.-W When a wo-
mau asked her husband for two dollars to
buy a calico dress, he whipped paper out
of his coat-tail pocket and pointed to an edi-
torial which clearly showed that female ex-
travagance was the ruination OF some of our
best men, and even the country itself was
being demoraized from the same cause
Then he gave her ten cents to buy hair-pns

years he has advised the sewing of grass
seeds, for lawns or fields, alone without grain
to shade it, and he is satisfied by the ex.

ecutions lately. The Meridian Mercury
relstes that the other day some Negro
boys got together, made one of their num-

sentenced him to be hanged. There was a
little gallows, with drop and all that 40

gro woman happened to see the situation
and went quickly and cut him down. A
doctor was sent for, and his case for two
or three days was oopyidersd dangerous.
