GOOD SHowING.-Mr. Hugh Smith,
Oyerseer OF the county Aims House, since he
has had charge of the institution. from April,
1874 to the 1st of August, 1877, has sold pro-
duce from the farm and has done work out
side of his legitimate duties, amounting TO
81 ,53O5 So; and has expended for the use of
the county in fertilizers and improvements
81 44601.
From April LIST, 1874, to April list, 1875,
6l3 tramps have been kept 991 days From
April, 1875, to April, 1876, Sl7 have been kept
1909 days, and from April, 1876, to April,
1877, 1894 have been kept 2 ,431 days.
The AlmsLouse, from the above report, is
now for the first time in its history n self,
sustaining institution, for which Mr.. Smith,
Overseer, deserves great credit. The statis-
tics IN relation to tramps is not very pleasant
reading, this warm weather, to hard working
farmers and others. 1t will be seen that
there has been an alarming increase in the
number of these nomads who are annually
fed at the public expense. The number be-
ing more than three times as great for the
year ending April, 1877, as for the cores
ponding period ending 1875. At this rate
the support of these people will soon become
n very heavy burden upon our citizens. Some
thing should be done to abate the nuisance
but who can suggest q remedys

INTERESTING TO FARMERs.-Mr. A. G..
Griffith, of our county, has obtained letters,
patent for an invention that is likely to prove
invaluable to the farming interests of the
country, 1t is the concentration by patent
process of all the mineral and chemical pro-
perties of horse manure, by which the straw,
fibrous and organic matter are burned up as
if by fire while all the mineral elements
and essential qualities of the manure con-
tanning nutriment for plant food are retained
without the loss of single atom. BY this
process a cart load of horse manure with its
liquid is reduced to the compass of a Darrell
the mass thus reduced is assimilated with bone
which is dissolved thereby; when by chemical
process the mass is dried and ready for use
Thus every property fplant food has been
retained, the waste matter expurgated, and
no article is used that is not of itself first
class fertilizer. 1t is known by the name of
"The Great American Fertilizer" and as such
must prove valuable addition to the list of
commercial fertilizers.

TO abandon altogether his work as o missionary,
without any hope of ever resumiug it. Yet He who
holds tie stars 10 his right hand has so ordered It,
and however mysterious to US it may seem to have
been, il is Wisest and best to have been ordered
thus The tokens OF GOD s gracious favor, how
ever, have beea evident and 10 some instances or
a somewhat remarkable eharaoter-much to the en-
oouraFement Of our beloved brethren and sisters In
5he fed and those who sustain them. We rtlolce
10 believe also that there is growing spirit OF lib

mem bers Of the Church are cooperating 10 many
places with q most comuen6able spirit, and that
the lambs of the flock, in pleasing numbers are
being trained in their early years, to take the place
Of their fathers and mothers in carrying tJTgard
this blessed enterprise OF beneV0lenee and Christian
duty.
Sill the harvest is very, gely great, and the Ia
borers are very, Uay few. The question to be
solved IS not 20hers shall the sickle be thrust in
or l7kee shall lsoorers be found to enter the field
they have offered themselves in growing numbers,
IN answer, as we believe, to prsyer,) but aohere
oh ho,0, shall We obtain the means to send them
forth? Cannot some plan be devised Ct hurFying
into exercise the great strength Of the Church IL

realm of sin, and against the mighty hosts Of Satan,
must mentally fail without the sinews OF war. -
