The requirement that members of the
grange shall settle differences by arbitration
has been settled in Iowa, Col Smedley in
formed us while lecturing in their state that
in several different counties in Iowa the
courts had met, dockets been examined, and
not a case appeared for trial, and they adj
journed upon the afternoon of the same day.
The lawyers did not think that was very
commeudable feature Of the order, but the
farmers were rather pleased with il. Our
exchanges show that arbitration is taking the
place Of long Vexatious suits 10 every state,
among the Patrons, aud We have known OF
numerous suits settled BY arbitration in Vsr'

Adelphi Grange, No 100, was organized
April Ii, 1874, with thirty.fve members,
aud We have taken 10 since that time forty
sir, which made our number eighty -oue one
Of our members having died the present
week, leaves US eighty members at the pres.
emit time. As for our grange being on the
point OF giving up its organization, it must
be mistake. We can't stop at present to
do the business it takes all our spare time
to initiate new members, and until our hurry
is over you need not look for crash in this
direction if you do you will look in vain
That poor -four was bought in May, 1874
Twenty barrels of Amber flour were shipped
to South Ryegate, at cost of about nine
dollars per barrel, when -four was selling at
Groton at that time from ten to twelve dol
lars per barrel. But some of our members
thought because it was not white wheat and
white corn -four it was not good, but as they
went down deeper into the barrel it grew
better, till at last it was thought by the
grangers who used it to be little the best
article that was ever in this part Of the coun-
try but by the anti-grapgers aud merchants
round about il was thought to be the poorest
article they ever saw, aud they never saw it,
either.
In regard 10 our financial affairs, we
raised between five aud six hundred dollars
and invested it 10 groceries aud few dry
goods--just about the same amount as they
keep 10 the stores at Groton, which we have
for sale at the store of n. b. Tewksbury
and if we could sell our goods as high as
other merchants do where they are not kept
down to hard-pau prices by grange store,
we should want to Increase our capital stock
to about seven thousand dollars, and then
could hire two clerks to sit still one-half the
time aud make money at that.
In conclusion, would say to those farm.
ers in Groton who are Of the grange persua-
sion that the grange movement is just like
that flour, the harder you work and deeper
you 20 into its principles the better you will
like it and to those who stand back aud cry
humbug, and know nothing about it, it will
be very poor -four Indeed TITUs.

CoPPER MINING AT VRRsHIRE.-The
Vermont copper mining company is doing
large business in the mining Of copper at
Vershire. IL has some four hundred work.
men on the payroll; aud with their families
some | 200 souls are dependent on this in
dustry. The company pay out every month
from $4,000 to $4,000. The shaft is
worked day aud night in three shifts eight
hours on aud sixteen of, requiring some $50
workmen. The process Of Manufacture is
described as follows At the outlet Of the
mine there is blacksmith shop, where there
are some four or five men, kept busy all the
time making and sharpening drills. Here
the car is run into building built for that
purpose, and four or Eve men are employed
TO sort the ore from the waste rock. The
rock that contains ore is loaded into car
and started down the railway to what lie
called the "cobbing house." In this build.
ing are some 100 men and boys, old and
young, who sit on stools and hammer all day,
breaking and sorting the rock. From the
"cobbing house" the ore Is taken in cars
about 80 rods aud then is dumped on the
rosst.bed. 10 the FIRST place there are about
three cords Of wood laid on a space Of about
80 feet square. Then the ore is piled on top
of the wood about ten feet high. When the
pile is completed they set FIRE to the wood
and it burns rapidly. The sulphur that is
in the ore takes fire and continues to burn
some six months before the fire goes out
The vapor or smoke from the roast-bed kills
all vegetation in the vicinity. The grass is
dead aud it kills the apple and forest trees
The workmcn, however, are healthy aud ro-
bust, aud some OF them have been employed
there for many years. From the roast-bed
the ore is loaded into cars again aud taken
to tho smelling house, where there are some
ten furnaces that are run night and day,
melting :he ore. The copper is run into
pigs or bars weighing from $50 to l7j lbs
each aud then it is ready for market,

10th, January 81. After the installation the
Patrons were invited to partake Of a supper
prepared by the ladies, Of cakes, pies, Oys-

grange. The social feature Of the order, too
much neglected in the grange, was a decided
success, Protection Grange was organized
with but few more than the lowest number

work and perseverance, they have made their
grange success. Over twenty new mem.
