also that the Picnic in Preston was near

large, notwithstanding the rainy day.
Senator Butler reports marked I'M
provement in the agriculture OF our
State. The land is better cultivated,
and more attention is given TO the quail

by tie most intelligent farmers that
sheep arc the most profitable stock, and
that they are especially so by enrichng
the land.
The Grange is doing good work in
educating the farmers, and creating a
spirit Of emulation, which always causes
Improvement in the cultivation of the
soil, and the care and quality Of stock.
The farmers never were rs soclaole, and
aroused TO the importance aud necessity
of education.

County, referred to in above article,
reminds US that in every community,
our own included, there is lot of
drones and loafers who do nothing
themselves to advance the public inter
ests, but everything in their power to
prevent the success of such enterprises
as will be of benefit TO the community.
They spend their time principally loun-
ging on the corners, about the bar
rooms, and other conspicuous places,
and allow no one TO pass without COM
menting on their appearance or discuss

they cannot find some useful employ
ment here or elsewhere, and if else,
where we will wish them hearty good
bye to speed them ON their journey

GGg" SEyERg DENT.-RObert Mil
Ter, son of the late Jacob &. Miller, de-
ceased, of this town, and aged about ID
wears, met with a very severe accident
on Tuesday night last. 1t appears that
he, in company with a number OF other
boys, were playing and lifting wagon
which stood in front Of Mayor Rays
shop on High street, and he having one
of those dynamite cartridges, such as
used by the S V. r. f. here, for blast
ing, in bis pocket, together with other
articles, it is supposed pressed upon the
same, causing it to explode, tearing away
a portion of his pants, and severely
woundins him in both legs between the
knee ana thigh. His left leg was cut
in such manner rs to have the appear
ance of being filed with bird shot; the
other had one or two deep gashes cut in
it. Although the wounds are very Sc
we're, we understand that there are no
serious consequences apprehended. Drs.
Reynolds and Butler, dressed the
wounds.
This should be warning to boys,
never to fool with or carry about them
such dangerous and explosive material
az dynamite. There has recently been
a number ofthcse cartridges exploded on
our streets after dark, and we expect to
hear of more disasters from them.
