A FAIR CoMrARIsoN.--The Springfield
Republican says that the Ohio Governor
improves upon better acquaintance" and
it shows that the New York Governor does
not. 1t favored his nomination by the dem
ocrats, and is rejoiced that so bad party
has selected for its standard bearer so good
a man. But having become a candidate, the
Republican has been making inquiries, and
1t finds that he is a sharp railroad lawyer,
charged with questionable transactions that
he was silent when Tweed was picking the
pockets of the people of New York that he
accepted the fraudulent maiorities Tweed
cooked up for that city, and that he accepted
a handsome contribution from the Boss for
a campaign fund that his loyalty during
the war was no better and no worse than the
average of his party; and that he "is not
an ideal statesman or an ideal reiormer, So
though ga pretty good statesman and re-
former for democrat" Its objection is
not so much to him, as to the things and per-
sons behind him, aud il is pleased that there
is as good a candidate in the field supported
by better elements and Immediately sur
rounded by better Influences"

Al HoNoa DECLINED Rev Charles ; Smith,
Of Montpelier declines with thanks the degree Of
doctor Of divinity which was conferred upon him
by Middlebury College MIR Smith Is very cs-
timable man, and II his tastes were that way in
clined he would make very good doctor. but
they are not, and nothing is left Tor the college to
do but to take hack the honorary title and give it
to some one who will appreciate it. such titles ~
general thing are perfectly harmless They do
not prove that the wearers Of them are ntollectu-
ally the lineal descendants Of Aristotle But Mr..
Smiths suggestion that these honorary degrees
should be allowed to quietly repose the college
records, would deprive them Of their efficacy, and
make them worse than a tinlSling cymbal -Rat-
land Herald
We go the Herad better in all it says
concerning the merit of Mr.. Smith in this
regard But as he peremptorily declines the
profiered honor, through motives of taste
and genuine modesty, there is nothing more
10 be said, however much his best friends
regret the decision. But, as a compliment
not only richly deserved, but also we trust
likely to be well appreciated we suggest that
the honor declined by Mr., Smith be trans
ferred to Brother Pettengill Of the Herdid
All the editors in the state, especially of
those who attended the late editorial excur-
sion, who favor our proposition, please say

made accordingly.

however, did properly object that the same
principle should be applied to all manu-

Reported for The zig
Deer Creek Farmers Club.
LARGE OR SMALL FARMS.

The regular monthly meeting of the Deer
Creek Farmers Club took place at the residence
of Mr.. r. John Rogers, near Bel Air, on Satur-
day, February 5th, The members present were
Messrs Rogers, Moores,- Bayless, Munnikhuy-
sen, Glasgow, Parker, Lochary, Archer, James
Lee, w. d. Lee, Webster, Ball, and DR.. James
NJ. Magraw, an honorary member.
The comparative profit of "Large and Small
Farms" was vigorously discussed, and the pre-
valing sentiment of the members appeared to
be that in Maryland, at least, ii man has
brains enough to be farmer at all, and owns
the land, proportionately larger profit may be
derived from 200 or 800 acres than from 100
acres or less.
Mr.. Rogers would prefer medium sized
farm. A farm of 80 or GO acres would require
about the same force as farm of 1875 or $50
acres. The yield from the latter, he thought,
would be beyond what small farm would pro.
duce. 1t depends very much upon tho capacity
of the farmer; some men could not manage
large farm, who might succeed well on small
one. A man should have no moro land than he
can properly cultivate. He thought the re-
markable profit from some small farms was
where they were devoted TO trucking.
Mr.. Glasgow said he preferred n farm of 200
acres of cultivated land, and thought more
could be made from large than from a small
farm. AS Mr.. Rogers remarked, 1t costs us
much to farm 100 acres as $50 or 200 acres
A large farm could be managed TO make MS
much in proportion to its size as small
farm.
Mr.. Parker. If the land were good he would
not object to 200 acres or upwards, but would
rather have 100 acres of good land than 200
acres of poor land. 1t takes very little more
machinery and very little additional force on
200 acres than on 100.
n Mr.. Ball.-A man who makes living from
farming on 10 acres is just as truly farmer as
one who cultivates or grazes 200 or 300 acres
There are sections where rs much money is
made on farms of % or 30 acres as Is made ON
farms of 200 or 800 acres. IIo knew o section

WHEAT.


The crop of growing wheat looks fine be-
You'd precedent at this season of the year.
1t is richly matted over the ground, and in
many places would hide rabbit. Should
nothing untoward happen to 1t, we may rea
sonably anticipate fine crop.
FLOWING.
The mild winter has enabled our worthy
farmers TO do great deal of blowing, and
many of them have large fields plowed.
THE WINTER.
This winter, with the exception of few
cold snaps, has been one of the mildest on
record. Pansies, crocuses and daisies are
blooming beautifully in the open mir. But
few Of our citizens have secured any ice, and
the prospect of crop of this useful article is
now anything but flattering. Butterflies and
other winged insects are seen any fine day
flying around in the open air. Tho little
birds are warblng their sweet lays, and
make the groves jocund with their pretty
melody. If we did not know it was Febru-
airy, we could easily fancy That we were en-
joying April

EDITOR -KGIs: A large number of our
citizens being numbered among your SUBJ
scribers, have thought an occasional item
from this locality might be acceptable to
many OF your readers; and hence have de-
termined to jot down n few. AS you are
doubtless aware, we arc located in the re-

which as roofing material is unsurpassed
by any other in the world. Large quantities
of this valuable material are uuarried every

This railroad is completed and in opera

that trains will run to Delta, from which

To morrow our township election for AS

IlhcS Hiac'. le prlnclpal ISSUE seems To
centre in the choice of School Directors. A
graded school was established here about
three years ago, which aroused the indigna-
ton OF n few who value money more than
brain; and who ever since have laborcd as
siduously to break it down. Party lines are
to some extent ignored in these elections,

Much interest is being manifested in the
matter of liquor licenses. Our new law hav-
ing prescribed certain restrictions which
render the obtaining of such license difficult,

young man of superior talent, and appears
earnestly devoted TO the service of the Mas
