Grows as Corn -Huskers.

A CoIerain Lancaster county, farm
er, belated with his farm work, left
about three acres of corn in the field
unhusked. Since the snow the crows
have found it and have undertaken TO
husk 1t on the shares, They visit it in
large focks and have torn the shocks
open in their endeavors to find the corn,
the ears of which they strip and shell
off in dextrous manner. Although

Crops on the Pacific Coast.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, January a.
The drought continues unbroken. For
the first time since the American settle
ment December has passed without "a
drop of rain. Yesterday dispatches
from various points, seemed to in
dicate change of weather, but has again
cleared off. The crop reports received
from all quarters indicate that in the
extreme south the drought has had to
some extent disastrous effect on grain
and feed. In some parts of San Joa-
quin Valley and the lower portion of the
Sacramento Valley the crops are suffer
ing. Along the coast counties gener-
ally the reports are favorable, and no
trouble is apprehended if rain should
be delayed until next month. In the
northern part anxiety is felt, but
no serious damage has yet resulted. The
crops in Oregon are coming forward ex-
cellently. On the whole, the present i'm
dications are that with rains later in the
winter sufficient grain will be raised for
home consumption, and small surplus
left, If rain comes within couple of
weeks, fair crops may be harvested un-
der favorable conditions during the rest
of the season, but large yield can
hardly be expected without rain soon.

Farm Laborers.

Some fifteen years ago there came to
Germantown couple of English lador-
ers with small families. They had spent
their all in getting here, could get no
work, families got sick, and one of them
lost a little child which neighbors
nearly as poor as themselves helped to
bury. Here and there they at length
got job of work to do, and managed to
brush along through the next winter.
We happened to hear conversation
between the two men; one contending
that there were too many men about
large cities, and that the best plan was
to try to get living from the land !;
the other considering that the best
chance for living was to stay "near
where the money was" The former at
length left these parts, and the other has
been here all the time. He is a good
laboring man now; but, so far as we
know, has little if anything more than
his daily labor to depend on

in life. He had struck off to the country;
worked year or two at odd jobs had
endeavored always "to spend little less
than he earned" had rented little
piece of land for year or SO, land now,"
said he, triumphantly, II own sixty
acres near Auburn, of as good land as
you can find in the state of New York,
and all paid for, too.' And so he had
money to spare, and to come with the
rest of the world and his family to the
great Centennial. We could hardly be-
lieve that this healthy looking and
comfortable set of people were the poor
and miserable beings of fifteen years
ago: and when we contrasted his cir
cumstances with those of him who had
remained "where the money was" we
could not help wishing that many more
Of his class here and elsewhere would
initiate his example.
The principle which he pithily express
ed as spending little less than he
earned, is worthy of philosopher. Yet
it covers everything, whether in the
country or town. that leads to success
But it is here that the country has one
advantage. The surroundings are more
in favor of saving than spending, while
near city they are just the reverse.-

QUEER SPEECHES.

During the recent swing around the south
ern segment of the circle by the Presideh'iai
party some very queer speeches were maue,
and though the President constantly DuDpieu

Key either, especially from bloody shir'
standpoint
In his address to the colored people OF At
lanta, the President told them he had come 10
the conclusion that "their rights and interests
would be safer if the great mass of intelligent
white men were let alone by the general gov

their rights as since" the inauguration OF his

But worse still, if possible, was the speech
of Secretary Evarts, at Nashville, eulogzlng

dent of the United States, Andrew Johnson

NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

The New York Democratic State convention
met at Albany on Wednesday and nominated
the following ticket:
Secretary of State-Allcn c. Beach.
mptroller-Frcderick p. Olcoit.
Trcasurer-JamcS Mackin.
State Engineer and Surveyor-lloracc Scy
mour Jr.
The convention was exceptionally harmoni
GUS throughout, and the ticket nominated is
to be very strong. The platform
dcnounces the electoral fraud by which Tilden
was cheated out of the presidency Is a crime
upon which such mark of infamy should be
set rs to prevent quick forgetfulnesS; de-
clares in favor Of gold and silver currency,
or paper only convertible into either, against
subsidies to railroads, &c. against protective
tariff, against savings bank rottonneSS, Ike &c.
The ticket, it is confidently predicted, will be
elected by 10000 majority.

-Otdrd R,pgjiicdH.
The above is stated by Brother Cullen in
connection with the appointment OF a new
county central committee by the democratic
convention on Tuesday, and We respectfully
call the attention Of his class leader in the
Methodist church 10 the statement Cullen
was present during the whole convention and

falschood. as Deacon" Osman was not pres

subject of a county committee was immediate

other process of locomotion, leave the room.

eREENBACKER NOMINATIONS.

The Independent Grecnback party, which
held Il county convention in this city Il
week ago, seems to be organized on such eX-
ccssivcly select principles as to have been hard
up for material to make a ticket. After cast
ing about anXiously tor lawyer to nominate
for county judge, it was found that there was
none within the exceedingly contracted pale
of the party, and the nomination was given to
a farmer, W. W. Gilman, Esq, of Mendoza
who, however, is understood to scout the asso.
citation, declaring that in the sense OF the con
vention at least Cwhatever that may be- he is
not grcenbacker, and certainly not member
of that ncw-fangled party.
Mr.. Ben Edgecomb was nominated, Without
consulting his wishes, for county treasurer
and he too is understood TO laugh at it as a
Joke and has no thought Of running for the
office.
Mr.. Hanlon, their nominee for school super
intendent, says, as the Office is strictly non-po
litical, he is ready to accept the nomination OF
republicans, democrats, greenbackers or any
BODY else-in short, is willing everybody shall
nominate and vote for him, but politically he
is democrat and acts with that party.
As to the nomination for county clerk, Mr.
J. 3. Perry we confess, with due humility
that, although residing in this county over 81
years and being pretty well acquainted with its
people, we had never heard Of him until his
name occurred in this connection. If tho peo
pie of the county generally are equally unhap
PLY ignorant, we beg to suggest, as the Office
is one of considerable importance and ought
not to he filled blindly, that Mr.. Perry ought
to show himself, or have his photograph, with
II succient sketch of his life freely distributed
for The information of the voters. Mr. W f,
Bowman, of Ottawa, is not only Il first class
photographer, but has a vivid imagination and
wields facle pen, and would doubtless I'M.
dertake the whole job at reasonable rates.
Upon the whole, however, it may be doubt
ed whether il would pay. AS quite promi-
nent member of the convention said to lis
after its adjournment, the whole thing was a
farce ond can't amount to anything.
