In the enumeration of the assets
of Garrett county made by the en-
lightened editor of the Cumberland
AAeganian, he failed wholly to men
ton one important item, and that is
the product of buckwheat. Had his
knowledge been equal to his desire
to disparage our county and its peo-
pie, he would not have been so
prompt to omit to notice our buck
wheat, which is eagerly sought for
by all who are acquainted with its
superior quality, and the splendid
cakes which our county maidens
know so we'll how to make, and
which only "sours" on his stomach
because he cannot use the producers
thereof to the mean purposes of a
corrupt political ring.
In the general Improvement Of the
county, now going on, let our far
mers, in their zeal for new things,
see to it that they do not neglect
their old stand by, their buckwheat
crop. 1t is we'll known fact that
the Glade country produces this
grain of finer quality than any other
section of our country. "BuckWheat
flour from the Glades" is eagerly
sought in all the eastern and western
cities. Even the Democrats of Cum
berland like little of it from the
good Republican county of Garrett,
when they are not the adherents of
the "ring." In such company all
healthy food is sometimes neglected,
and of course buckwheat is not IA
vorably mentioned in the produc-
tions of Garrett.
The season is now on our farmers
for seeding this crop, The prospec-
tive value of all kinds of breadstuffs
makes the prospective profit in the
crops enticing, and we hope that by
prompt seeding our farmers will
take the first step toward securing a
good crop. Then let them encour-
age home millers by leaving their
grain to be ground by such as know
how to make it yield abundantly,
and at the same time maintain its
well known superiority over the low
land article.
No feed is more relished by the
cows on which to winter than that
coming from buckwheat, and the
straw, though woody and coarse,
will help all kinds of stock through
the winter, if only properly sheltered
and fed as change.
Sow buckwheat. 1t will feed the
family. What you sell will furnish
money to pay the tax gatherer. The
cows you feed with it will come out
of "winter quarters" in fair condi-
ton, and the sheep will be in good
condition to yield their lambs and
wool when spring time again rolls
around. Sow buckwheat.

AT a municipal election held in
Norwich, Conn, on Monday, the
Republican candidate for Mayor,
and all the candidates on the regular
Republican ticket, were elected by
an average majority of $50. AS the
Democrats carried that city last year,
the result now reported affords a
gratifying indication that recent
changes Of political sentiment have
been very favorable to the Republic
can party, and that the policy of
President Hayes is warmly endorsed
in Connecticut.

INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN.
OAKLAND, Md, June 9th, 1877.

MIX. EDITOR - independents
flourish on our soil at certain seasons
of certain years. We had Indepen-
dent Voter" I'D n0usettne, and it now
seems we are to have, even more
abundantly, "independent" editor,
ride leading article in last weeks
Her0id.
Some weeks since you modestly
limited that as an indication of "In-
dependent Voters" independence of
party, he would state exactly h0lO he
had voted the last three years, that
the public might have some guaran-
tee that he was not sailing under
false colors, when he so bravely pa
raded independence" as his shibbo-
leth.
1t is equally pertinent to ask our
neighbor to state just how he has af-
tiliated within the same period, that
our "simple country people," as Mr..
Walsh dcsignates them, shall know
exactly how much his profession OF
independence are worth, and that
nobody may be miSled by either his
professions or practices. | may he
so blind that | cannot see, but if he
has been other than the hardest of
hard Shell Democrats, with decidedly
"Rebel' antecedents, | am entirely
ObliviOuS to his Uniform conduct. 1t
seems to me that "independence" i'll
his daily practices means the strictest
allegiance to the Democratic creed.
When such democrats as Randall,
Brown, Watterson and Hill thought
and conceded the election of Hayes,
this "independent" editor, with his
coadjutor "Independent Voter, "Were
ready to organize a raid on the White
House and capture it for the use of
one S. J. 7. He certainly was
mighty in his independence" just
here.
In county matters he has been
willing to "cry aloud" about his "in-
dependence" and as longas he could
carry Republican voters away from
their faith by its sounding name of
Independence" but where did he
ever use his influence to the detri-
ment Of the democratic party and
the "ring," whose willing instru-
ment he has been at this end of the
State?
Bearing in mind this little history
can we not see how Charge" a rat is
WalloWing in the meal, and how real
is the cry for peace and fraternity,
where hitherto there has been so
much diversity, not to say strife I?
1t is said that the wall for peace is
real, and the appeal to drop 'per-
SOn0P' animosities is not stimulated.
1t is whispered that concord is not
found in the kitchen cabinets here
abouts, and that there are serious
doubts as to the result in the county,
and that pressure is now being APP
piled to close up the cracks and COM
pose the discords of the controlling
spirits. 1t is understood that the
political pilgrims have orders that
Garrett must be restored to the DEM
ocratic column, and hence this pacific
manifesto from our somewhat COM
battive friend.
We shall see what we shall see.
But the Republicans must be on their
guard that no delusive side issue or
peoples" cry, or independent pro-
fession shall lead them from their al
legiance to the Republican party.

The Mexican Raiders.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Cabi-
net was in session about one hour
and half to-day, and most Of the
time was occupied in a discussion Of
the Rio Grande troubles and the
proper steps to be taken to prevent
cattle stealing raids into Texas from
Mexico. 1t was finally agreed that
the Secretary of War should direct
General Sherman to authorize Gen.
Ord, commanding the Department of
Texas, to follow thieves into Mexico
to recover stolen property.
Secretary McCrary accordingly adj

GenerdI-The report of w. NJ.
Shafter, Lieutenant Colonel Twenty
fourth Infantry, commanding the
District of the NueCes, Texas, con-
corning recent raids by MeXicanS and
Indians from Mexico into Texas for
marauding purposes, with your en-
dorsement of the 18th instant, has
been submitted to the President, and
has, together with numerous other
reports and documents relating to
the same subject, been duly consid-
cred. The President desires that the
utmost vigilance on the part of the
military forces in Texas be exercised
for the suppression of these raids. 1t
is very desirable that efforts to this
end, in so far at least as they neSes-
CARLY involve operations on both
sides of the border, be made with
the cooperation Of the Mexican au-
thoritieS, and you viii instruct Gen.
Ord, commanding in Texas, to invite
such cooperation on the part Of the
Mexican local authOities and to in
form them that while the President
is anxious to avoid giving offence to
Mexico, he is nevertheless convinced
that the invasion if our territory by
armed and organized bands of thieves
and robbers to prey upon our cltlz~
ens9 should not longer be endured.
Gen. Ord will at once notify the
Mexican authorities along the Texas
border of the great desire of the
President to unite with them in
efforts to suppress this long continu-
ed laWlessneSs. AT the same time he
will inform those authorities that if
the Government of Mexico shall con-
tinue to neglect the duty ofsuppress-
ing these outrage5 that duty will
devOlve upon this Government, and
will be performed, even if its pertOr-
nance should render. necessary the
occasional crossing Of the border by
our troops. You will, therefore direct
General Ord that in case the laWless
incursiOnS continue the will be at
liberty, in use of his own discretion,
when in pursuit, of a band of the
marauders, and when his troops are
either in sight of them or upon a fresh
trail, follow them across the Rio
Orande and Overtake and to punish
them, as we'll as retake the stolen
property taken from our citizens and
found in their hands on the Mexican
side OF the line. | have the honor

The Time to Eat Fruit

The earlier in the day fruits are eaten
the better They should he ripe. fresh
and perfect, and if eaten IN their natural
state, it is almost impossible to take too
much, Their healthful qualities depend
on their ripe acidity, but if sweetened with
sugar the acidity is not only neutralized, but
the stomach is tempted to receive more
than it can digest. and it cream is taken
with them, the labor Of digestion is in
creased. No liquid of any description
should be drank within an hour after eat
ing fruits. nor should anything else be eat
en- within two or three hours-thus time is
being allowed for them to pass out of the
stomach. the system derives from them all
their enliveniug, cooling and aperient in
fuences, The great rule is, eat fruits and
berries while fresh, ripe and perfect, in
their natural state. without eating or drink
ing anything for at least two hours alter
wards. With these restrictions, fruits
may be eaten in moderation during the day
and without getting tired of them or ceas-
ing to be benefited by them during the
