vice upon this subject
1--WE cannot too strongly urge the
necessity Of proper care of farm imple.
msnts. This care especially consists in
housing, painting and repairing; in
return for which we have tools that
are better, that will wear longer, and
that will be less liable to break as we'll

total result of which is economy.
every farmer should make it
rule to keep bis tools under cover
when not in use. There are always
corners enough in barn where hoes,
shovels, plows and harrows can be
stored away at any time without be-
ing in.the way. At triaing expense
a shed can be built, in which may be
kept the wagons, carts, moving ma.
chimes, etc, it will take no longer to
run them under the building than to
leave them in the field.
Furthermore, every farmer should
see that his tools are kept in good or
der. When any part Of an imple-
ment gets out Of place or is broken,
the adjoining parts sustain greater
wear and in a short time are beyond
repairing. Nuts, bolts and screws be-
come loose, admitting dust and gravel
and causing unnecessary friction,
which is more wearing than actual
work. As soon as any part becomes
weak it should be repaired at once.
We once knew thrifty farmer who
made it rule to repair everything be-
fore it was broken, and we presume
that he has thereby saved many vexa.
tions and delays. Another important
matter not to be overlooked is the use
of paint; a good coat of brown paint,
that costs but little, will exclude the
moisture to a considerable extent and
prevent delay.

Superintendent in his report makes favor
able mention of S. G. Williams, the agent
at Broadway station and Geo. Riley, brake

aid when the disaster occurred. Judge
Shelley, counsel for the company, was at
Harrisonburg Wednesday investigating the
matter. There will be no stone left I'M

activity shown by Superintendent Averill

THE MODERATOR OF THE LAST SYNOD.

THE MODERATOR OF THE LAST SYNOD.
Speaking Of the Synod at Alexandria,
the Central Presbyterian" thus notices
the Moderator Of the body, Rev. W. T..
Richardson, of Staunton:
1t gives US pleasure to repeat what we
took occasion to say to many in private,
and with all sincerity, that in all our long
experience of Synods and General Assem-
blys, we never saw better Moderator, and
very few as good. The remark was made,
not at all in an unfrlendly manner, that he
entered too much into explanations on
points of order. 1t would have been we'll
founded if the Synod had been, like Leg
islature-a body continuing long in session,
and therefore presumed to be well trained
in this matter. Among the members of
the Synod-most OF whom study the s'rules
for Judicatories," nearly as little as they
do Chinese, and not one in ten of whom,
probably, had copy with him, the case
was different.

Discussing His Points.

A few days ago party of school girls
dropped in over at the Deaf. Dumb u Blind
Institution and found one Of the blind
boys whose eyes are apparently as good as
new and mistook him for a deaf mute.
One of them Immediately proceeded to
spell with great diligence on her fingers. a
proceeding that would have been just as
effective with the door jam and the rest
INDUCED in series of commentaries on the
get up of the supposed deaf boy. Much
exception was taken to his nose, the way
his hair was cut, and on a general revision
of his figure he was pronounced bow-leg-
ged. This last point gave rise to an ex-
cited discussion which was brought to an
end by one young lady declaring that if her
i limbs weren't any straighter than
those under inspection, she would decline
having any at ala dreadful threat which
silenced all opposition. In the meantime
the young lady who had been communica-
ting by signs expressed the opinion that
the patient was not only deaf and
dumb but born idiot, not having sense
enough to answer her enquiries as to
where he lived and how long he
had been there, and if he was "struck
dumbn CT born in that condition. The
blind boy by this time seemed to have alb
sorbed the idea that all the compliment
tary remarks he had been hearing were
about him, and flushed with Indignation
called out in a stentorian voice for ''Mr.
Breckenridge" The effect was strange.
One of the girls instantly called the other
a mean thing, and said she might have
known the boy would hear. The second
girl retorted that she hadn't done anything
| that she was ashamed of, and the young
lady, who had threatened to go without
any extremities at all, gathered up her skirts
and exhibited pair of ankles going at
lightning speed down the path.
This little incident, which has the rare
merit of being true in every particular
will doubtless serve as warning, and is
printed for that high and noble purpose.
