The Young farmers Op-
poFtunitV.

To meet a want frequently ex-
pressed by farmers, the professors of
the Ohio Agricultural and Mechanic
al College, Columbus, have made ar
rangements for a special course of
lectures at the college, on subjects
pertaining to agriculture. Should
the plan meet with approval, the
lectures will begin on Wednesday,
the 9th day Of January, and continue
ten weeks, four lectures each day,
five days Of the week.
The subjects discussed will be:
The structure Of domestic animals,
their diseases and treatment-two
lectures every day also, two lectures
on soils, manures, crops, climate,
machinery, surveying, rOad-making,
drainage, &c, &c. These topics viii
be treated in a familiar and practical
manner, and be illustrated by the
amply means at the disposal Of the
college.
The object of these lectures is to
place within reach of those who, for
any. reason, cannot take a longer
course, the opportunity to spend a
few weeks in a way that may give
profitable direction to future obser-
walton and reading.
This course is intended only for
adults, All who attend Will be ex-
pected to conform to college regu-
lations, but will not be subject to ex-
aminations or to military drill

to defray expenses, viii be the only
charge. Board at the college board
ing hall is $3.50 week. By club
bing together, many students get
good board at lower rates.
This lecture course is contingent
upon the attendance Of a number
sufficient to Justify the extra labor
on the part of teachers. Persons
who propose to attend the lectures
Will confer a favor by promptly com
municatiDg their intentions.

Home Correspondence,
uninn In.

Another of our old settlers has passed away
since my last. Mrs. Thompson, widow of James
Thompson, like a ripe sheaf, was gathered home
Her funeral was preached by Elder Rube Of New
Vienna, at West Chapel, Clinton county.
Our farmers accept the situation Of low-priced
pork, SIS best they may, and look forward for bet
ter prices in the future when silver shall be made
legal tender and the currency doctors shall 60 to
work on some other patent.
As our township line is the corporation line OF
New Vienna, we will be excused for feeling little
pride in that live village. As a corn market, 1t
looks as if it might rival Egypt in the days Of Pha-
roah and Joseph. Two large cOrn-sheIers are
driven, each by ten-horse power engine, part of
the time both day AMI night. Baum & Son run
near 1000 bushels per day, and ROuth & Lively be-
tween two and three thousand, and what gives life
to it is the corn is hauled in from the neighbor-
hood faster than they can care for it without run
ming night and day.
The Changers Pork House is also in fun opera
tion-a company running it, which also helps to
give tone to our dull hog market. Looking at all
din and hustle, reminds me of a remark Of one Of
the citizens of Vienna, that 'HuLsBoEo was too
close to Vienna ever to amount to much :"
Our schools are doing well, with scarcely an ex-
ception. Connected with schools is one question
which the Grangers have not aired, in the crusade
against monopoly. It is that of our school books.
State laws and the action of the Boards Of EduCa-
tions have done Hay with competition, by adopt
ing set series of books to be used and booksellers
have held their conventions and combined togeth-
er until schoolbooks are double their former
price, but extorting little from each one, we all

Athens Messenger: It is to be
that the Democracy do
not sufficiently favor our citizen sol
diery as to lead to expectation that a
Democratic Legislature Will make
the liberal provision asked for by
Adiutant General Karr for maintain
ing the dignity of our State militia.
The officer just named estimates that
S18O,0OO Will be required next year
to keep the various military organ
izations of the State on effective
footing. Of this sum $4,000 is
asked for cncampmont expenses,
$4,000 for the care of arms, and
$4,000 for uniforms.
Soldering is expensive business,
yet we need not go further back
than six months in the history of the
State for practical assurance that
niggardliness in provision for the
proper maintainanco of the State
militia may, in possible emergencies,
prove ruinoUs economy.

Seneca Fal4s, n. Y, is now the
scene of a Somewhat novel battle.
The girls have formed a society in
which every member promised to
have nothing 70 do with any young
man addicted to the use of intoxica-
ting drink. Thereupon the boys
pledged themselves not to speak to
any Miss wh6 wore false hair, or who
powdered, padded or otherwise ''as-
sisted" natuEa in encbacing her per
sonal charms Exchange.
The girls have decidedly the ad-
vantage in such a contest, and will
be sure to win. Whose business is
it but their cwn, how much they pad
or powder, to- make themselves more
attractive? It hurts no one, or at
least only themselves. But if young
men drink 7tkieating liquors, it
hurts not cay thamseiveF sa5stheir
parents, relatives, friends and all in
any way connected with them, as
we'll as the community at large.
Boys, don't do it, if you value health,
character and happiness in this
world, and your destiny in the world
to come.

which should be sifted then add the molasses and
spice. Stir the whole together for ten or twelve
minutes, then add the fruit gradually, a handful
of each alternately. The Zante currents should be
thoroughly cleaned, and the raisns put into sieve
with the flour used for the cake. Shake the sieve,
so as to have most of the flour siftcd through the

'run"-over $4,000 copies being
sold in one month after its pubIica-
ton! This volume is by the same
author, and many critics pronounce
it even better than its predecessor,

the great charm of being natural,
and Just such as might occur in
real life. The story is full of spright-
Iness and humor, relieved now and
then with touch of genuine pathos.

"There is no doubt that much of the

believe in the use of printers ink and
benefit themselves accordingly

ing our business men Of the fact to
which we called their attention in the
article referred to, namely, that vii

by "the use of printers ink, are
drawing trade to those towns which

would come here if our business men
would invite it, by a system of liberal
