The Syracuse Courier, Of the 4th
inst, says:
In pursuance OF call Issued at q
meeting of the farmers OF the State,
held at Rochester in May last, g mass
meeting Of farmers was held In Shake
speare Hall yesterday for the purpose
Of securing mutual benefits and mu-
tual rights and privileges" The dis.
cussions assumed a wide latitude, and
it was evident that the delegates had no
fixed or definite plan to go by. They
wanted to accomplish something, but
Just what that something was no one
seemed to have definite idea. They
disclaimed any idea OF forming new
political party, but on the contrary ia
Yored an alliance Of farmers which
could make itself felt with both par
ties. They assert that burdens Of taxa
ton afflict them unjustly, and that q
discrimination is made against them
and in favor Of corporations and mo-
nopolies. These evils they propose to
remedy by forming their alliance for
self protection.

PRAYING AND FLOWING FOR RAIN,
Times of India.

Times of India.]
A very interesting ceremony, quite
novel In character, was held on the 10Th
ult., at Indore, at which all the folks OF
the town, from the Maharajah down to
the humblest peasant, joined together.
Early in the morning the whole town,
led by his highness and the royal fami-
ly, wended their way to a village called
Bangunga, two miles off from Indore,
where they were to pass the whole day,
1t being strictly enioned that no one
should light his kitchen fire, but enjoy
a general picnic in the fields. Men,
women and children all were there to
the number, it is said, of 5000 per-
sons. The gathering was to invoke the
gods by prayers and pooJahs to send
down rain. After the poojahs were over,
the Maharajah took a plow in his own
hands and titled a portion Of the
grounds, and her highness the Marha-
rani, who played the part of the
peasant wife, waited on her lord in
the fields with his daily meal wrapped
up in the folds of her cloth. The gods
were really moved by such pathetic
scene, for immediaty afterward showers
came down, and the crowd dispersed
amid great rejoicings.

that "Goy. Tilden and the Hon. j.
Bigelow. who arrived in Glasgow ON
Saturday with the Iona from Oban, left

the inclement weather having induced

Assessor ENTs.

II now appears that the Arbitration" system
of settling differences between the assessors and
the taxpayers has not worked very well. Besides
the difficulty OF finding taxpayers to act as arbi
traitors, the assessment department complains
that in many cases where they were obtained
they have placed the valuation on property and
capital even lower than was claimed by the appli-
cants for rebate This they consider ID anomaly,
because IL strikes them that the applicants for
such rebate would hardly have valued their prop
erty originally at higher rate than 1t YVES worth.
There is some talk, by the way, Of writ of
m andsmus to require the assessors to show
cause why this arbitration matter should notabe
kept open until the Goth of October. IL being the
opinion Of some taxpayers that such Is the mean-
ing Of the law.

THE GRAVES.
A Grateful Population DO Honor TO the
Departea Heroes.

The immortal dead Of the memorable day
which was the harbinger of Louisiana's freedom
from the polluted grasp of the oppressor. were
not forgotten. Early In the morning the graves
of the victims of patriotism In the various ceme-
teries were visited by the ladies OF the Crescent
City Relief Association and decorated with flow
ers and other tokens that the memory Of those
who had sacrificed themselves In such an ex-
allied cause was still green and fresh in the
hearts of those for whom they had SO gener-
ously spilled their life's blood.
u Iuevery case the contribution Of the Crescent
City White League was the same-no difference
nelng made at any grave, except In the way of
arrangement; wreath of ivy. another of ever
green and laurel linked by a festoon Of white
silk, upon which the following device was in
scribed:
Alas, that blended with the tone
OF triumph, breathes stifed moan
For many brave whose dear lives won victory"

SEPTEMBER IA, 1874
When Faction loosed the fellest brood
That lust e'er spawned; or hate hate has nursed,
Our freedom as thing accurst.
And terror stalke1 our land again,
And fraud and rapine ruled the hour.
Andan the neckS of conquered men
Theslave and bastard strobe to power.
Thine was the wisdom to defy
The doubts that palsied ripper years.
The stern resolve and courage high
TIE front the future with it's fears;
Thine was the lightning's bolt that blazed
Full in the tyrants covering face
And thine the red right arm appraised.
That smote him in his pride of place.
Spent is the storm! our skies are fair.
Fair every sign of this glad cline,
And blown through all the liberal air
