A singular epidemic, resembling the
foot and mouth disease in cattle, has
broken out among the inhabitants OF
village near Bolton, Eng, and in some

A correspondent ofthe NJ E. Farmer
writes: The greatest mistake that far
noer can make is, to allow his manure to
remain exposed tn the air and waiter
under the caves Of his barn, instead o!
being securely placed under cover and
then kept from the action of the weater
A covering over the manure heap is easy
to build, and any farmer can do it. The
amount of money to be paid out tol
material will not amountto much, ano
will be many times returned in the in
creased worth of the manure.

The Napoleon Northwest is out in favor
of the nomination of Judge Thurman for
President. As Judge Thurman opposed
the Resumption bill in the Senate, and
predicted its effects upon the country if
passed, which results have occurred as
foretold; as he is opposed to contraction
of the currency and in favor of paying
duties on imports in greenbacks, and be-
ing an honest, upright and able gentle
man, we cannot see why the Democracy
of Ohio, and of the entire west, cannot
harmonize upon him, and go into the
convention solidly for his nomination.
We believe the Democracy of Seneca
county will heartily support Judge Thur
man for the Presidency, and give him
their solid and undivided vote. He is un-
doubtedly one of the strongest men in
the country, and can be elected .-7Idin
