They went to the shop, as usual, this morning. but

those who withdrew from service Saturday
hereby notified that this company is not disposed to
furnish them with employment until notice, nor until

those who receiving more than S1..50 per day,
and that in did it exceed per cent, being
done more to equaize the pay than anything else,
the entire saving to the company aggregates only
S22l per month, and that the trouble is caused by
few agtators who themselves have been receiving the
highest wages paid by the company. But they have,
through the union, compelled the others to stand by
them
In regard to the resolution adopted by the union

PROGRESS IN HARD TIMES.

Notwithstanding the times. says the SCI

ever made greater or more rapid progress III
substantial wealth than during the past sew
Ell wears. From a comparison of the status
tics of the census Of 1870 with those fur
nished by the Bureau of Agriculture tor
1877. 1t appears that there were 81, l,OOO,ooo
more acres of land Under cultivation last
year than in 1870, an increase of 81 per cent.
The percentage of increase in the number
of corn produced was 225, of wheat o., OF
rye A. OF barley 35, in tons OF hay 81, and
in pounds of tobacco 81 per cent The live
stock over the aggregate OF 1870 was, horses
a per cent, mules 45, cowes %. oxen and
other cattle 29 sheep 25l, swine 2S per cent.
The aggregate increase in the number OF OF
live animals amounted to about 25,0O0,00o

Large seeds. like those of peas, corn, etc.,
will find their way to the surface if buried
several inches below ground, although they
grow more freely at less depth. Small seeds
must be much nearer the surface. The seeds
of most of our worst annual weeds, such as
pig-weed, green amaranth, foxtall, rag-Weed
and mustard, are quite small, and will not
grow if buried in compact soil over an inch
in depth. This is the reason that when the
ground once becomes infested, it takes SO
long time to eradicate them. The ploW-
ing>and the narrowing must be repeated
MANY times, until every part OF the SOIL,
down as far as the ploW reaches, is success
slvely exposed to the action of the air. In
this way crop after crop OF weeds is Destroy
ed. until the soil is purged of them. 1t IS
much easier and less expensive to prevent
their growth, and never to allow them TO
drop live seeds. It is at least ten times easi-
er to kill weeds when they are only brittle
white sprouts from the seed, and are yet be-
low the surface, than after they have grown
several inches high and it is ten times easl-
er to kill them under SIX inches than when
they are hard and stiff at full height Hence
the rapidly extending practice by good cul-
tivators of destroying all weeds before they
appear, by frequent stirring Of the surface,
performed by means of the steel rake II
done by hand in the garden bed, or by
means of the horse cnltivator or smoothing

HOW TO USE PARIS GREEN.

The success with which this mineral can
be eused in destroying the potato-beetle, the
striped-bug, slugs, caterpillars, ETC., has
made Its use quite common of late years;
but we fear that many persons do not ham
die it with that caution which its poisonous
nature demands. We nave already heard
where its inhalation, while busting the vines
and bushes with it, has been attended with
serious though not fatal effect. Dusti'ag with
it, the way it is generally done, from bag
or paper, Or with the hands, it Is extremely
dangerous. When it is so applied, the bag
orappliance should be placed at the end OF
a five foot pole; and used in this way the
fear of inhaling any part of the mineral may
be entirely guarded against. OF course
when diluted with water this precantlon IS
ulhecessary.-Ge Germantown Telegraph.
