Case.

Judge Love rendered his decision
yesterday in the case of Samuel
Stokes ct al. va. VIM. NICK. Findlay
ct al, stockholders Of the Bloomfield
Bank, which was heard before him
last week. The case was argued on
the demurrer of plaintiffs to the an
swer Of defendants. The demurrer
alleges that the defendants fail to
show in their answer that the 500, 600,
the amount Of capital stock to be paid
in before the bank commenced bust
ness or any part thereof, was ever
paid in /; that the bank never obtain
ed from the Auditor of State anthor-
ityto commence business, or that the
Auditor ever issued a certificate OF
authority to the bank to commence
business, or that defendants did any
thing required by law to qualify them
to run an incorporated bank except
just enough to deceive the public and
run bank without any foundation
or basis of credit except the state
mcnt in the articles of incorporation
that $55, 900 was to be paid in before
business was commenced. Judge

and not a copartnership, and that the

to be done by this proceeding.
The court also holds that when the
corporation shall be adjudged bank.

stockholders to pay up their unpaid
stock, and may also hold them re.

viewed the extent of the business
done by this well-known manufacto-

vast amount of its goods are sold and
shipped all over the world. Hun
dreds of artisans are employed in the
manufacture of the Johnston rufflers,
the Johnston tuck markers and other
specialties manufactured by this COM

sewing machines that are sold by the
thousands that are made daily, and

Early Cut Hay.

We urge upon our readers the inn
pOrtance of not allowing their grass
and clover to stand until they are ma
tured. The advantages of early cut
ting cannot be overstated. Stock, we
know, will thrive and fattcn on good
pasture, while upon the same grass,
matured and made into hay, accord
ing to the common custom, stock will
run down in flesh. This is because
the nutritious juices are not saved.
When the grass Is matured and dried,
the juices are all gone even before it
it cut, or they may be evaporatcd in
the curing.
Some months ago, we gave the re-
suits of some very interesting expert
ments in feeding cattle on grass cut
before 1t 1cds headed out, showing that
such grass, properly cured, will fatten
cattle as we'll as the green grass OF
our best pastures, and that the after
math, in meadows thus cut, started
right up, just as the grass does on a
ely-cropped-pasture.
These are considerations Of great
Importance to all farmers, and especi'
ally so to stock breeders. We there.
fore respectfully urge that our rea'
ders shall give this suggestion of the
early cutting and curing of grass, .

ows, the clover should be cut as soor
as it is fairly in blossom, and the
timothy while it is in flower. For our
selves, we aim to cut rather befor.
than after these periods-especially
when the weather is good for curing
Particular pains should be taken no
to cure too much, never forgetting
that the great object is to preserve
and save the juices.-National Lice

Anxious 70 % Good.

The good people of Titusvillc, Pa,
wanted Mr.. Murphy, the temperance
lecturer, and wrote him to that effect.
Mr.. Murphy thus replied:
Ny DEAR BROTHER 81 will during
the month of June deliver twenty co.
lectures, and as your people have cx-
pressed desire to secure my services
/ take pleasure in informing you that
they may do SO by applying at the
earliest possible moment, to your

The little p. S. was evidently an
afterthought of Mr.. Murphy, and he
added it hurriedly and without re-

supposed that he cares anything about

would have crossed out the 5000 in a
jiffy if he had given the matter a
thought. But the people of Titus
vile actually put more stress on the
little postscript than all the rest of the
letter. They were indignant that this
new laborer for the cause should
charge $4,000 for twenty speeches.
They informed Murphy that he could
continue his ministrations elsewhere,
and that Titusville would try to gel
along without him. And so the tenn.
perance business in Pennsylvania has
received a shock, and Murphy is out

Jacob Swartz, a car repairer on the
Z. B. & @. Road, while examining
cars from the top this morning, met
with very severe accident. 1t ap-
pears that while he was in the act of
stepping from one car 10 another, the
engine suddenly started, and as the
train had been cnt in two, he pitched
forward, striking against car, from
whence he fell violently to the ground,
injuring his spine in very serious
manner. Mr.. Swartz is said to be q
very exemplary citizen, and his many
friends will hear of the accident with
sincere regret. Drs. Hinsey and

Hints for Work in June.

From the american Agriculturist,
for June, we condcnse the following
notes:
Ruta-Bagas should be sown this
month. Two pounds of seed per
acre should be sown, and it will be
better to SOW in drills, either with q
hand or horse-plantcr. The rows
may be made q to 30 inches apart,
and two hundred pounds of SUPER
phosphate, drilled with the seed, will
force the crop ahead of TIE fly. If
the fly attacks them, use finely slack
ed lime, dry sifted coal ashes, or 5000,
freely sifted over them.
PREPARING FOR HARVEST. - No
time should be lost in getting ready
for having. Itwould pay to procure
moving machine and horse rake,
if money has to be borrowed for the
purpose, where ten acres of hay have
to be made. In choosing machines,
durability and case of working should
be looked to first; low price is a Sec
ondary consideration. When scythes
arc used. the rhomboidal scythe-
sharpener will be found very effect
i've. Mowers, scythes, hay-racks,
barns and stack-bottoms, and any
other needed facilities, should oil be
made ready for work without delay
Glover hay is worth much more
when cut early, than when cut late
Professor Atwater has given the
reader of the american Agraculturis
some very valuable hints in this re
spect, which should be well studied
and remembered. We prefer to rak,
up clover before it Is completely
dried, and cure it in the cock for q
least "a hours. This method consid
erably increases the value Of the hay
