PATRONS OF HUSDANDRY.

In recent article in the Journal Of Agri-
culture, r. @. Roach, Of the executive COM
mittee of the State grange of Missouri,
says:
If we want to build up the grange on a
firm basis, our weekly and monthly meet
ings must be made SO attractive that it will
not only be a duty but pleasure eagerly
sought after, to be prompt and always in
attendance. [ know oranges where even
our young people looked forward TO the
grange meetings with as much or more in
terest than to the usual young peoples fes-
tivals. Sometimes they have an organ and
good leading performer, and often spend
cises and in social conversations, with the
old folks to look on and enjoy also the social
chat, the music and the happiness Of the
young people; and our harvest feasts are
proverbially occasions of great enjoyment.
Good eating always opens the generous i'm
pulses of the human heart and predisposes
us to feel kindly towards all mankind. And
then how Instructive is it to both young and
old to learn the parliamentary rules which
govern all public bodies-to become ready
and fluent debaters and able to tell to others
in an attractive manner the thoughts which
are passing in our own minds. Here the
grange is the best school ever devised to
make farmers think for themselves and
ready takers and debatera.
But the subject OF reyiying the interest in
the grange grows as proceed, and will be
renewed hereafter. Let me only add now:
Brothers OF the grange, let us lay aside all
the hndrances, personal, political and 9TH
erwise, which Lave stopped the onward pro-
gress of the grange; and in the coming
year unite together in grand effort to re-
yiye the good work and make this noble
farmers institution one Of the best the
world ever saw.

Albany dispatch to the Tribune says
Mr.. Wendell, the newly elected State
Treasurer, has declared he should not
assume control of the Office till the
books Of the Office used during the two
years of Mackin's term had been all
made thoroughly clear. The trouble
seems to have been that State Treas
urer Mackin called checks cash,
however, when the controller called his
attention to the condition of affairs,
Mackin endorsed the checks and con
verted them into cash. Now all the
existing State officers are satisfied.

foul play last evening. He gave a

Mr.. Won Sickle interfered, and the
tramp made an assault on him with a
butcher knife, cutting him very Sc

villain also attacked Mrs. Won Sickle
and then made his escape. A large

Yexations Tsxnfinn-

The present authorities are giving
the theater managers a sight Of trou-
BILE by attempting to exact a tax of
Sl5 for each nights performance of a
minstrel troupe, in face of the fact
that the theatre holds alicense receipt
for the season, of one hundred dollars,
paidin advance. The ordinance relat.
ing to the matter is an ambiguous
structure, and capable of several inter-
pretations. If carried out according
to the views of people in Office, it will
compel every opera troupe performing
at the theater to pay S25 per night,
and minstrel troupe $l5 per night. The
law is said to have been framed with
a view of protecting our local theaters
but it fails to protect.

DEATH OF JUDGE THOMAS OF BROWNS
WILLIE.

The sad intelligence reached the
city this morning that Judge Robert
Spencer Thomas, of Brownsville,
Tennessee, died at his residence there
yesterday, the 25th inst, in the sixty
ninth year of his age The LEDGER
deeply regrets the event, for Judge
Thomas has been a warm personal
friend for years, and we well know his
worth as a good citizen and neighbor.
While spoken or written words cannot
fill the void in the hearts Of his family,
kinsmen and friends by such a loss,
yet we tender them our sincerest SYM
pathy. Judge Thomas was a native
of Williamson county in this State.
He removed to Haywood county about
the year 1885, where he resided
up to his final departure from
earth yesterday The Judge
was the eldest member OF a large
family well known throughout the
state and elsewhere, for their integrity,
honesty and correct dealings with all
