WALKING HoRsEs.-What use are
fast horses to farmers Can they put
them to work in the pillow, harrow,
oultivator, roller, rearing-machine,
cart or wagon? No. A storm might
arise and the whole crop Of hay be
ruined, if they had to depend on 2;4O
horses to haul it in. There is but one
Use that we can see that a farmer
might put them to-sending for a
doctor; but as farmers have very lit
tie occasion for this professional gen.
tleman and never get very sick, a
slower and surer horse will answer
better. Why then parade these hor-
ses at the head Of the lists at agricult-
ural fairs, and give. them the biggest
premiums No wonder our practic-
al farmers complain Of this, while
there is no premium at all for walk
irg horses, which are a thousand
times more useful-we mean to the
farmerGand for general agricultural
aud industrial purposes. Thorough
bred horses have their uses, and We
do not desire to utter word against
them, but many good words in their
favor. They, however, must fill their
own places and work horses theirs
and neither should be advocated to
the exclusion of the other, Both
should be recognized according to
their vaIue.-Gcrmuntoun Telegraph.

badness of the public roads in all

of the Western States there is no suit

One WAY OF RAISING CuCuMBERS
Take flour barrel with one head
in; perforate the slaves about two
thirds of their length, beginning at
the headed end, with gimlet holes
from two to three inches apart
Place the barrel with the head end on
the surface of the ground make a
hill of good garden soil around the
barrel, having a base Of at least three
feet from the barrel, and extending
with slope to within two or three
inches from the top Of the barrel and
fiji the barrel three fourths full Of
good stable manure. Plant the hill
with seed from four to six inches
apart, and when the plants get four
leaves, thin out TO foot apart; put
brush between the plants so as to
keep the fruit from the ground. AS
soon as the seeds are planted, keep
the barrel constantly filled with water.
The water dissolves the manure
passes through the holes in the barrel
into the hill and affords a constant
supply of root Iood to the plants
One hill will produce an ample sup

of these railroads and purchase OF real
estate caused many parties 10 become
insoiveut. The condition Of the cur
rency had not increased this state of
things. These periods of crisis came
upon nations no matter whether the
currency was gold or paper. The spec
ulative era which hal existed from 1869
TO 1873 witness thought had something
to do with the present condition at at
fairs over production by machines
had contributed 20 decrease business by
producing more than there was de-
maud for, aud prices fell according ~.
In regard TO tariff duties be would rec
ommend it be taken of some raw ina
teriils. About the miidleman Ques-
ton. witness said q great many of these
h ,d been drawn out Of business and
went into bankruptcy. If there was
auy surplus of capital during specula
tive era it has now retreated to the bank
vaults, having been driven there by q
low state of interest. Amounts loaned
out by the banks were in great bulk the
property of the community. Witness
said that business was injured to GER
tain extent By the protective tariff. 1t
stimulated some manufactures if it was
properly laid down. The accumula-
ton of capital has been so great that
We had not elsewhere to spend it. We
had more capital than We could employ.
Witness said the limitation in hours of
labor should be not subject of legis-
lation. 1t was direct contradiction of
the functions of the government to in
terfere with the hours of labor. He
did not think the proceeds of the sale
of public lands could be used by the
government for colonization purposes.
1t would be a hazardous thing for
our government with its present civil
service system to take hold of such a
thing. He did not think that the sur
plus populations in the cities would be
content to live on lands in the West,
and did not suppose they could be
drawn there With yoke of oxen. If
taken there they would not stay on the
lands. and thought the working class
would be better off under free trade
than under the tariff system.
This concluded Whites testimony.

| A committee, chosen from his class in the
Union Sabbath School, met and framed the
following resolutions
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased our Father in
Heaven TO call home an interesting member
of our Sabbath School, therefore,
Resoiref, That We recognize in this act of
Divine Providence the hand of One who
doth not affiict willingly, or beyond that He
is able to heal. but in order to the carrying
out of His all-wise plans, He hath used such
means as Will work together for our eternal
good.
Resolred. That through the death of this
dear friend, his parents have lost a dutiful
son, his sister loving brother, our Sabbath
School a promising light, and our class a
faithful member, whose absence will not
only cause a vacancy in it, but void in our
hearts.
Rcsolrsd, That while We extend our ten
der love and heart felt sympathy to the
afflicted parents and sorrowing sister, yet
we rejoice to know that they do not mourn
as those without hope. and that one more
-, link has been taken from their earthly chain
TO strengthen their hold on Heaven.
Resoired, That we, as members of his
class. take to heart the solemn lesson taught
us by his DEATH" Be We also ready, fof in
such an hour as We thiLk not, the Son OF
Man cometh."
Resolred, That these resolutions be pub
llshed in the county papers, and copy con-
tanning them be sent TO the afflicted family

Spirit of song go wing thy way
Throughout Americas broad land
Go, soar and sing a song of peace,
And roll that sound from strand TO strand
Go, make Atlantic's pillows roll,
Unto the very oceans grave
Until the echo rings afar,
And moves Pacific's ripping wave.
Go, send it ringing everwhere
Proclaim 10 all on earth and sea
The blessings We enjoy to-day
Oar glorious, blood bought Liberty.
For once again has come the day,
The Nations anniversary,
We bless and keep for its own sake,
The birthday of our liberty.
Two and one hundred years ago
4 nations blood was spilled for thee.
Oh, LIB ,rty Thy price was dear,
But, God be thanked, We still are free.
Oh, may We ever be as true
To home, TO nation, country dear,
AS those who fought and bled and died,
For US to live in freedom here.
America blest home ef peace!
May'st thou remain through ages long.
Though nations all may rise and fall,
And live but in the realm of song,
Yet may'st thou increase in power,
And ever stand more firm AMI free,
Till every soul shall bow and bless
Our own dear home of Liberty.
