| DEAR EDITOR:-We are still in doubt
respecting the weather as to whether
the rain will continue or grant us a re-
spite, but of this we feel assured that
| if vote could be taken, every man,
woman, and child, would vote solid in
favor of fair weather. Farmers are
getting anxious to finish blowing, but
despite the weather Mr.. Hunt intends
to build a house, preparatory to his re-
moval to his own store.
The Farmers and Dairymen's Asso-
citation met here at Curtis s. Shum-
way Hall,) on Friday, the Sd instant.
The meeting was called to order by
the President, J. M. Kellogg. Mr..
Cornwell was present as Secretary.
The subject for discussion as to the
best means Of deriving the greatest
profit from milk. Mr.. Kellogg favored
the cooperative plan, uniting together,
putting up suitable buildings, and en-
pleying a skilled manufacturer, and
thus lifting the burden off the Shout
ders of our wives and daughters. Mr..
Cornwell was not fully prepared to
endorse this plan, he foresaW difficult
ties that might arise, but thought a
time might arrive when we should be-
come more enlightened on the subject.
He had not found it very profitable to
send his milk off the farm.
Mr.. Barber gave an interesting state
ment as to his process of managing
milk and making butter, he is not
much in favor of sending his milk off
the farm.
Capt. futile was decidedly in favor
Of keeping his milk at home, and that
Mrs. T. was mistress of the situation
1t insured good living, made nice
things" His presence in our midst
was convincing proof Of that fact
Mrs. Kellogg would enquire as to the
lpropriety of washing butter. MI
Barber washed as long as it stained
the water.
Mr.. Birdsall of the firm Birdsall
Wetmore was present, and had on ex
hibition their patent. (the Iron Clat
Milk PAM they have sold to G. Will
liams, J. M. Kellogg, c. Gains, ant
others. They defy competition.
Our next regular meeting here vii
; be the first Friday in June next. Com
out and visit us at that time. J. M.

President HAYES drinks moderately
of wine in Philadelphia, and Mrs.
HAYES is represented to have said at
the table: "It is great mistake to sup
pose that I desire to dictate my views
to others in this matter of the use of
wines and such drinks. / do not use
them myself OF in my family, but
have no thought of stunning those who
think and act differently. It is a mis-
take to think that I should want to be
so dictatorial."

A PRESENT TO GEN. GRANT While
General Grant was in Constantinople,
the Sultan made him gift Of a beau
.tiful horse. After his Turkish Males
.ty had shown his palace and gardens
to his guest, he conducted him to his
stables. He ordered his best horses to
be put on exhibition, and when they
had been sufficiently admired, he told
the General to make a selection. taking
the one which pleased him most. At
first the General could not consent to
it, and warmly protested against the
Sultan's generosity. The Sultan's Min
lister OF War, however, interposed, in
forming General Grant if he did not
accept the gift his Majesty would be
much displeased. The General there
upon selected dapple gray, superb in
form, and having step that would
light with admiration the eye of any
cavalier. The caparisons were brought
out, and the horse, in splendid attire.
was formally presented to General
Grant. The Sultan, at his own ex-
pense, has sent the horse to Marseilles.
whence he will proceed to this country.

At a recent meeting of the New
York Republican Central Committee,

4 the following resolutions were adopted
ResoJoed, That the Republicans of
| the city of New York endorse the
speech of Senator Howe of Wisconsin,
recently delivered in the United States
Senate, on the Presidents policies Of
| Cancellation and civil service.
Resozoed, That we are in favor of
fair treatment of the South, but are
opposed to the ignoble surrender Of
principle for peace and Cancellation.
ResozUed, That we desire an efficient
and honest administration Of the civil
service, but protest against the bestoW-
ing of official positions upon friends
under the false cry Of reform.
Res0Z0ed, That we warn all Republic
cans to be wary that the principles of
the party are not forgotten or conceal
ed through the indecision of weak
leaders or the devices Of designing
men.
This is sumner. The Republicans
of New York actually endorse Senator
Howe's "tiradew They are in favor Of
just the things which Mr. Howe had
the courage to first utter and fearlessly
throw in the face of this most "model
administration" We compliment Mr..
Howe on this strong exhibition of SYM
pathy, not because it came from New
York, but because it embraces the
honest convictions of every loyal Re
publican in the United States. If they
do lack courage to testify it openly
they will not prove derelict in duty at
the polls, as we are willing to vouch
for.-Burlington Standard.
THE following communication from
Somers was intended for the Telegraph
last week, but it was not received till
after the paper was printed. We are
informed that it was mailed at Somers
Postofice Tuesday at noon by way of

Kenosha by6 o'clock Tuesday evening.
But at o'clock Wednesday it had not
arrived, or had failed to get into our
Postofice drawer. 1t was not received

printed.
SOMERS.
The weather deserves a passing re.
mark. Last week it rained more or
less for seven successive days, begin
ming with Sunday, thoroughly soaking
the ground, causing suspension Of
farm work, raising the streams to
spring heights, remanding the roads
which had improved to their former
condition.
A sad event occurred On Sunday last
in the sudden death of Mrs. John Mitch
ell Dy Paralysis. She arose as usual on
that morning, prepared the family
breakfast, was cheerful, when sudden
ly she complained of pain in the head,
GOODNESS of hands and feet, sat down
by the stove to warm, soon lost con-
seriousness and remained so till death
took place at II 80 A. NJ Medical aid
was summoned but was of no avail as
she was found in a dying condition.
This being the second if not third
stroke, none other than a fatal result
was expected. The funeral services
take place to-day.

Medical Philanthropy Abused.

paper was read the other evening before
the County Medical Society OF this county,
showing the great extent to which provision
has been made by our charitable citizens
for the gratultous medical treatment not
only Of the poor but even Of the wcll-to-do
sick II appears that there are within the
city limits, not including the Institutions
on Blackwelrs Island, forty-two hospitals
and dispensaries, enjoying an aggregate
annual revenue Of $72O56l, and treating
over 100000 patients a year. II was con-
tended that all Of this vast number amount
ing to onc-fourth Of the population Of the
city, cannot be absolute paupors, and the in
ference was suggested that large portion
Of them resort 10 public charity for medical
advice merely 10 save the fees they ought
to pay their own doctors. A similar state
OF things IL was said, prevails in other cities.
In Boston, for example, one In every four of
the population, and in Philadelphia one in
every five. likewise receive medical advice
gratis Making every allowance for cxag-
geration. it would seem To be quite probable
that there is an abuse connected with the
matter which should be corrected.
Precisely what the remedy should Ice is.
however, difficult question to decide. The
author Of the paper We have referred to
proposes that physicians should refuse TO
give their services, gratultously, as many
OF them do at present, to charitable medical
institutions His idea seems to be that il
the officers Of such institutions had TO pay
salaries to their medical assistants they
would not be 80 lavish and careless in dis
posing Of their services. But, unless we are
greatly misinformed. those Institutions
which already pay their physicians are the
very ones which do the largest gratuitous
business. The fact that they pay secures
them the best tslent and the employment
81 this talent draws 10 them the most pa
ticnts. more obvious measure would bc
to require every applicant To bring from
some reputable citizen a certificate showing
that hc Is worthy of charity. This reRula-
tion, again, would sometimes prevent relief
in deserving cases, and oltcner be fraudu-
lcntly cyaded. 1t would bar out the friend
less aud unknown, but not cunning rogues,
who would find way to procure the
required document. The closing OF some Of
the hospitals and dispcnsaries would only
throw heavier burden on the remainder
while an iniiexible rule not to give any gra-
| tutous medical advice whatever would bc
too harsh and cruel. However. the matter
will probably be thoroughly discussed, and
some way found to meet the emergency.
But, as it stands it shows how far we are
from understanding the science Of charity,
and how easily philanthropy can be- per
Nerted into an instrument Of mischief. Re
lieving the sick, like feeding the hungry and
clothing the naked, is instigated by one of
the most powerful impulses of humanity,
and an as readily be turned into fostering

Who Shall Investigate Z

Our own preference has been that the in
vestigatiOn into the election frauds in Flor
Ida should Toe made by a joint committee OF
the two Houses Of Congress. We thought
that such committee would command the
confidence Of the whole country. and that
their report would be decisive. We want
nothing but the truth in the matter, and the
country wants nothing but the truth
The proposition for n joint committee
has not been accepted by the Republicans,
who are in n majority in the Senate. We
now think tho House. without waiting
longer for the Senate. should proceed to in
ycstigate by n committee ~ its own.
Probably the Committee ON the Judiciary
would be the most suitable, as IL is a stand
Ing committee composed Of some Of the
ablest members 1t constitutes no obioc-
tion that there Is on this committee So vio-
lent and fiery Republican as Gen BUTLER.
He is practiscd lawyer, and will help to
develop the whole truth, which, we repeat
Is all the country wants.
The investigation should be begun at once.
The confessions OF the parties implicated in
the Florida frauds are IL such a character

the body which possesses the power to in
vestiXate.

Drowned and brawny young man. % years Of
age. is employed as n delivery clerk in n ma
chinery establishment in Liberty street For
years he has spent his leisure time on the
shores Of Newark bay. and has become an ex-
pert swimmer. The skill thus acquired he has
courageously used to save human lives. On the
4th Of July 1874. while he was strolling in his
fathers garden. he heard cries for help from a
boy drowning in the canal near his fathers
house. Throwing of his coat. he dashed
through n knot Of confused men on the bank.
and plunged into the canal. The boy had sunk.
Young Sayles. Owed and found the boy face
downward and unconscious. on the bottom He
raised him up and pushed him To the surface.
After he reached tho surface himself. he found
that the hystandcrs had not caught hold of the
boy. and that he had sunk again. Although al
most breathless. young Saylcs divcd again.
brought NJ the boy, and rolled him on the bank.
The men then undertook the work Of resusci-
tatiQn. hut young sayles says, 50 clumsily that
the boy died.
On last sunday afternoon as young Sayles and
his mother were on the bridge over the canal.
they saw a saiboat. in which were two men and
q girl. al-izrd al some distance from the shore
The mon and the girl struggled helplessly in
the water. Saylcs wndcd out To- his boat. which
was anchored near the shore, and rowed swiftly
% their assistance. H. pulled them into his boat
and took them to his fathers house There he
gave them silmulants, ana saw that their CLOTH
ing was dried. He declined money that the men
offered. saying that his success in saving life
was the only reward that he desired.
II j. reported among young Sayes s neighbors
that he has saved other lives.
