FISHING FOR GREENHoRNs.-A business
man of Bel Air has received singular but
by no means uncommon confidential" circu-
lar, from New York, signed "Mr. Fisher" in
which that crafty angler drops a tempting
bait. He processes to be engaged in the
manufacture of "cigars," in imitation of the
real Havanas. These so-called "cigars" are
of brands known as No. ones, twos, fives
and tens, and the buyer may smoke them
freely and fearlcssly. In other words it is
simply an offer to furnish counterfeit money.
This New York fisherman begs TINT he may
not be COMPOUNDED with lot "swindlers,"
who offer similar goods at low price, (but
which they call by their proper name,) and,
after obtaining money from the foolish, send
all kinds Of rubbish in return in place of the
goods. To avoid the disagreeable results
which sometimes follow writing letters, the
sharper suggests that the prospective buyer
visit New York in person, so that they can
deal face to face Any one who is so simple
or so dishonest as to bite at such bait de-
serves not only TO lose his money but to suf-
fer at The hands of the law. AS to "Mr
Fisher" it is to be hoped that the courts may
get hold of him and "smoke" him well. In
the case alluded to "Mr. Fisher did not get
even nibble.

buy cautiously, and do not buy so much. If YOU
will manure, do not pillow SO much The most
of us could farm one year without applying so
much manure as usual
Johns Fl. Janney, the President, said that gen.
orally speaking the less farmer goes in debt,
except for fertilizers, the the better for him.
He would not hesitate, in putting crop of corn
In poor field, to go in debt for fertilizers. If
the field is fairly good he would not do SO at the
present time. For wheat he would go in debt
for fertilizers. lie did not see why n farmer
should not borrow money occasionally as well
as merchant The latter borrows money in
creases his capital and is thus enabled to do a
larger and more profitable business Iffarmers
were as prompt as merchants in paying their
notes they could borrow money on as favorable
terms.
Mr.. Ball deprecated the tone of the discussion
as implying that we could not farm here without
commercial fertilizers, which he thought an in
justice to this section of the country.

THE HEAVIEST CALF IN THE STATE.-Mr.
N. A. McComas, one of the most successful
and experienced cattle graziers of Hartford
county, has a grade Short Horn calf, called
"Hayes," that is worthy of note, for the great
size it has attained. 1t was two years old,
on the 4th of February, and weighed that
day LOO lbs. 1t is probably the largest calf
of its age in the State. Mr.. McComas says
"The night this calf was dropped one of my
ewes dsowned a pair of lambs. We had to
take milk enough from the cow, night and
morning, to feed the lambs until they were
ready for the butcher. | sold the pair for 81,
but of course robbed the calf of that much
milk. The remainder he got until he was 10
months old At four months he weighed
4O5 lbs; at eight months, 1,03O lbs at TWEEN.
ty months, 40 lbs; and to-day, at two
years, weighs 1,7O0 lbs. lie took the highest
premiums in his class at our two last county

CANDLEMAs DAY.-Last Sunday was the
festival Of the Publication of the Virgin
Mary, or, as it is called in the Roman Catho-
lie calendar, Candemas day. The day is so
called because the tapers and candles used in
the church throughout the year are conse-
Grated on this day. It is the day, also, when
the wood-chuck or ground hog is supposed
to come out from his winter quarters. If he
sees his shadow, he goes hack again and re-
mains for six weeks longer, during which
period winter may he expected to continue.
AS Sunday was clear day, the aforesaid
ground hog, if true TO tradition, went back
and resumed his sleep, and more cold wealth
er may he looked for. An old dislich says
If Cundlemas day be dry and fair,
The half of the winters to come and mair.
If Candlemas day be wet and foul,
The half OF the winter is gone at Yule."

Col. X. s. Rodgers yesterday received

partment, at Washington, n favorite colt,
that belonged to his son, Capt G. p. Rod
gers, who was killed by lightning last August,
and which had followed him for months over
the plains in the Indian Territory
In order to settle the important question
raised by the New York World, MS to wheth-
er the canvass-back duck feeds on wild celery
or caltsnera, we have secured n pair of the
ducks, which remained in one ofthc ice holes
on the flats during the hard freeze, and have
sent them ON to Prof Doremus for dissection
and chemical analysis and hope to have the
report i'll time TO settle the dispute before
the bellgerent disputants come to blows
An animated discussion is going on in
the Republican in relation to the origin of the
name of the newborn city. One writer as
serts that it received its name in honor of the
French Count de Grasse. Another cores
pondent, G. A. G who has investigated the
sdhject, says that while up to 1878 this point
was known ms "Susquehanna Lower Ferry"
an old Frcnchman, resident there, called it
Havre dc Grace, from some real or fanced
resemblance to Havre, in France. Between
1773 and 1880 La Fayette passed through
the town and confirmed the name by dating
his dispatches "Havre de Grace" which
means Harbor of Grace. Other correspond
ents concur in this view of the origin of the
name.
