It is noticeable that people who report
egg records of their hens, all keep some
improved variety. After. while, most
poultry keepers will understand that there
is difference In productiveness and profita-
bleneSs Of improved over the old fashioned
barn door fowl. Some claim that the differ

OUR FARMERS BOY.

In regard to the success of the agricul-
turalist, great deal depends upon the
''yeung farmer" or our boys. Many of the
minor duties deyolve upon them, aud few
suggestions through the columns of your
paper may prove both interesting and ben
eficial. If boys are like they used to be in
olden times. few words will not come
amiss. One of the first things for son of
toll to learn is to govern his temper, and
aot a fly off, at every little PROPAGATION
that is bound to present itself. In nine
cases out of ten the dumb animals, horses
aud cows-faithful servants of the farmer
become the objects of his wrath, and are
the victims of his own blundcrs. We have
noticed in our little travels to and fro, the
domestic animals beaten most numerically
by boys, who appeared to know less (it is a
bold saying) than the animal they were
abusing. We have seen cows, because they
wagged their tail in flytime during milking,
suffer very cruel treatment from small ur-
chins. Kindne S to him that kindness
shows" is something we'll worthy of our
notice. The man or boy who is not willing
to show this kind feeling to his animals
which are the means Of performing the
harvest portions of his labor, shows the
basest ingratitude. We have the most i'm
proved machinery to cut our hay and grain,
to do our threshing, etc., but think how
useless it would be If we had not our noble
horses to tgive us a hand" The beauti-
ful golden rule" though getting very old,
is as true to-day as it was the day it was
first uttered. and may be extended. we
think, with propriety, to the brute creation.
Animals were given for us to use, but not
abuse, and when a team has been engaged |
the entire week in heavy work, it seems
like 'cruelty to animals to suffer the |
young stripplings to use them for race horses
on the Sabbath. When man or beast la
bors hard for six days he has, in our esti-
maten, right to rest on the seventh, indie
pendent of religious impulses or the Gus
toms Of centuries. Another very common
practice with men, as well as boys, is so Sc
verely whip team when it is Going its ut
most to accomplish the task set to do by its
master or his agent. One has but to draw
a picture OF himself lifting with all his
might on, q heavy log, or any other weighty
article, and receiving upon his body blow
alter blow with a good, solid buckskin to APP
preciate the situation of his team; yet we
have seen that done repeatedly. A horse

nay be true enough, but when one is strain

New York, Oct. 2s.-The chairman

for criminal libel, in writing an article

New Haven, Oct. 2s.-As a republi-
can torch light procession was passing
the corner Of Oak and Dwight streets
last evening 4 number of boys standing
on the pavement blew tin horns at the
processionists. This SO enraged one Of
the members Of the colored company
from Hartford that he struck one Of
the boys with the torch whereupon the
boys took TO their heels. Several Of the
colored men pursued the boys and one
of them, a Hartford negro whose name
has not yet been learned, fired a pistol
into the crowd. The ball struck an Of
fensiye spectator named Peter Sweeney
passing through his groin. He fell
down and was set upon and severely
beaten, his jaw being broke The doc
tor in attendance says Sweeney will die
before morning as his wounds are fatal.
Sweeney being an Irish democrat and
his assailants being colOred men, there
Is much excitement over the matter.

Conclusive Proofs.

New York, Oct. 2S.-The following
summary Of proofs are conclusive Of the
Chinese letter forgery:
First-It Is not at all like Garfield 8
handwriting though the signature is
said to Isimulate his hand in 1865,
when he wrote letter to Gen. Rosen-
Grams, from which, according to the one
story, the forged signature was copied,
no genuine Garfield signature during
the last five years can be produced
similar TO that.
Second-As Garfield emphatically re-
pudiates the letter and its sentiments
and stands by the anti Chinese para.
graph in his lettepof acceptance.
Third-The wealthiest shoe manufac.
turers Of Lynn make afiidavits that
there was no employers union there in
1880, or for two years prior. That
Morey was and is utterly unknown
there, and that no respectable authority
for his existence has been produced to
this hour.
Fourth--The postal cancelling stamp
on the simulated envelope was not in
use in January, 1880, and said envelope,
while 1t presented a perfect fac simile,
also fails to bear another stamp which
was then In use at Lynn, notifying the
parties to furnish their exact address
for the benefit OF the letter carrier.

act Of June 18th, 80, for the land em-

eases wherein the United states and
