THE growth of Lynchburg, Va, since
the war in population, buildings erected
and business, is quite remarkable. Last
year there were sold in the warehouses
26,000,000 pounds of leaf tobacco, the
largest annual sale in her history, and
larger than any other Virginia city.
There are now 100 tabacco factories there,
engaged in the successful manufacture
of tobacco in its various forms, and en-
ploying very large capital and amount
of labor, with three tirst-class banks and
several private banking institutions, and

The squirrel pest continues to be an
interesting subject of discussion in many
parts of California, where they are as
destructive as grasshoppers. The Stock
ton Independent says: If the State Ag-
ricultural Society were to offer prize of
$4,000 or $4,000 for some cheap and
systematic plan to destroy squirrels, in
stead of paying such large sums to en-
courage horse racing, they would be
doing the farmers and the agricultural
interest at large throughout the state an
infinitely greater amount of service. If
The evil can he cured one million dollars

THE Columbus Republican says: The
railroad bridge across the Wisconsin at
Kilbourn is deemed unsafe for the pas
sage of trains, one end having settled
six inches. The transfer is now made
by hauling one car across at time with
ropes, the passengers walking. A loco

by the engineer first walking across
ahead of his engine, the fireman starting
up the engine slowly, and stepping off,
the engineer catching it again on the
other side. The officers of the c. NJ and

Editor Register;
In your paper of June 14th, is an
article from I. W. Blades. The arti-
Gle is composed of so many mistate-
ments, and fails to produce any ar
gumcnt to sustain his position, /
have but few words to say in reply.
lie speaks of the Crooked Creek
bridge, and my reference to Mr.. San
ders, to ascertain the kind of work,
which was to be done. He contin-
ues by saying, that there was a Sc
cret understanding between us, and
that the rest of thd bidders were en-
tirely ignorant of the kind of work,
that was to be done. Mr.. Blades,
you know your statement is not cor
rect; all those who bid on that work,
knew that they were to do good, sub.
stantial work, and use two.feet rock;
for l had fully explained it. 1t APP
pears to be very singular idea, that
L should tell Mr.. Sanders, privately,
that he must use good heavy rock,
two feet thick, and do a good sub,
stantial job? Your own statement
will condemn you, I think your
wits have certainly failed you, when
you have to resort to such statements
to prepare your articles. Those mis-.
statements, suppose, is part of your
science; as / am not a scientific man,
| shall make no further reply,

GRANGE NEWS.

The Master Of. the Missouri STATE
Grange, says 81 firmly believe that
the organization Of the Patrons o.
Husbandry, is the only salvation fol
the farmers, and the sooner they un'
derstand it the better, and if Patrons
will but do their duty, the Order will
be fixed fact, and results certain.
The Ex.Committee of the Michi.
gan State Grange adopted the follow
ing preambleand resolution:
"WHEREAs, The difficulties of estab-
fishing wool and asserting depot
for the West, are found by us to be
surrounded by insurmountable diff
culties, therefore, Reso!ral, that we
recommend the Order throughout the
State to take this matter into their
own hands and through their subor-
dinate or County Oranges or Coun-
ellis, mass their wool, keeping each
members by itself, or otherwise, hay
ing it put up in the very best man
ner, then holding the same open to
the purchaser at what shall be deem
ed reasonable and paying price"
The Southern Farmer very truly
says: Everything depends upon the
subordinate Oranges, If they are in
good condition, if the officers are cap
able and earnest and prompt in the
discharge of their duteis, and are sus-
tanned and encouraged by all the
members, then the cause will pros
per. The affairs of the National and
State Oranges may be ably and sue
cessfully managed, and enterprises
for the promotion of the interest of
the farmer class be wisely planned,
yet they will all come to naught if
they are not sustained by the zeal
Gus, efficient cooperation of the sub
ordinate Oranges.
