me good, and everybody calls me good,
but am not good"

"And SO am T. said the child; '.but

And on her mother inquiring what
she meant. she said. "Why, when I
could not ride yesterday. I did not cry

wished the carriage would turn over and
the horses would run away, and every

Eds. Tel:-Mr. Cornelius Norris, the
subject Of this brief memior, was born in
Conn, Sept 3Oth, 1903, and died Jan, 1880.
Bro. c. was an early believer in the great
truths of Christianity, but never sought its
experimental verities until the 3Oth year
of his life. All who knew him can freely
testify to the great zeal, aad devotitiOn
with which he pursued to the final triumph
his happy, and consistent course. Being
instant in season, and out of season, he
ceased not to teach, to exort, to instruct,
with all long suffering and doctrine
steadily refuseing all title, and emoluments
he looked alone to that Savior who for the
joy that was set before him, endured the
cross, despised the shame, and is now sat
down at the right hand of God

Eds. TeI:-This part of the county has
not been left TO enjoy the past two weeks
of deplorable mud from their own door
yards, but the most of the dairymen and
some others have been visited by the "man
with paper in his hat" and cordial,
though firm invitation extended to them
to visit the city of Cleveland. The case
of 2. Wilson, assignee of 7. B. Wire vs..
Austin, Barnes and Seeley, Of Austinburg
has been on trial in the Q. S. Court. This
is a second trial of the case, as the jury
did not agree in the first trial 1t has
taken two weeks for hearing this time,
and has developed considerable spirit
among the witnesses on both sides. At
this writing the jury are not in.
About two weeks ago we saw an article
in the Cleveland Leader from this town
ship which said, that in the coming con-
test for Congress, Northway was the favor
ite by great odds in this neighborhood. This
article did not strike us at the time as be-
ing just the thing. While in Cleveland
last week we saw an expression taken of
Al voters from this and neighboring towns,
all of them personally acquainted with
both parties, it shows more one sidedness
than we would wish there was, still
know it is an impartial showing from the
section represented by these men. The
vote stood, Northway6, Rowland 80, and
all of this, after the insanity dodge" had
had time to produce its effect We do
not wish to get into politics much, but do
wish that all in favor of iudicious and
moderate legislation, would enquire into
Mr.. Howland's record and see if he be not
"the coming man." and one moreover, that
can Withstand the peculiar temptations of
Washington society. G.

NV Trumbull farmer friend, on this ques-

my Trumbull farmer friend, on this ques-
ton:
Must man of necessity own a farm? If
so, this would exclude large class Of scien-
tifc, honest, hsrd-working farmers prae-
tically. If be plows and works his rented
garden or farm with his own hands, on
scientific principles, or is about to cultivate
lands, applying the highest degree of
scientific skill in the use of fertilizers, put
ting lime on sandy soils and sand on clay
soils, ploWing in the fall so that the frosts
viii thoroughly mix the sand with the clay.
Applying, say, about forty loads to the acre
at the trifling expense Of from $40 to $50
per acre. Would this make a man eligible
to the candidacy on the ground Of being a
farmer? Suppose, in addition to all this,
he was ''granger" in good standing, and
working nobly for us all the time, would
this settle the question Of his eligibility?
Is 1t necessary to fix all these points in or
der to apprise aspirants for this position as
to the amount of land necessary to own or
rent, and the proper amount Of lime and
sand to apply, and the time necessary to
devote to scientific farming IN order to win
the much coveted prize2 This point settled
and suspect there would be quite stamp
ade of professional and artistic gentlemen
into line of promotion. There is nothing
left then but TO act in concert in order to
accomplish the desired end. See to it, that
farmers are sent as delegstes-if members
of the grange" so much the better. Go
early to the Convention so as to meet at
''grangers hall" before Convention time.
Then and there determine upon unity of
action and the thing is accomplished.

Eds. Tel:-0ur village has rather heavy
interest in that Conneaut railroad. There
is no alternative between twice bridging
our circuitous creek or avoiding that stream
altogether by taking in our village in the
route south. This will be decided by the
survey about to be taken. Beside the
bridging, the surface is not little rugged.
It looks as if the creek had an object in the
course chosen-discrimlnating in our favor
and also shat of Kelloggsville.
The spelling reform man-Prof. Caughey
was here on Wednesday evening. A good
audience was in attendance, and he acquit-
ed himself very creditsbly and gave salts
faction. The absurdities of orthography
are prodigiOus.
Last Friday evening James A. Fickinger
with Prof. Alger gave our citizens some
good talk at Academy Hall. While the
first dwelt upon the past, present and future
of our schools, Mr.. Alger gave tho patrons
and students some pretty incisive talk.
Visiting the schools and staying up the
hands of the teacher prevents the hsgging
of interest.
Horace Palmer, aided by Cleveland Pres
bytery, has been doing much evangelical
work in holding meetings in the school
houses about the suburbs. Success has fol-
lowed his la5ors in the Shipboy district
east Of the village. Quite powerful re-
vival has taken place, with twenty-four
conversions reported, mostly among adults.
Some whole families have chosen the better
way. These are called by Mr.. Palmer, fee
bic instrumentalities, but out of such are
the issues Of life.
Esquire Wright is out on his accustomed
routine of business.
It is reported that Prof. Howard does
not return to Chicago, He has rented his
Sheffield farm and will probably betske
himself to his village residence here. He
is power for good in music.
We should have noticed last week
surprise at the residence of Mrs. NJ. L.
Davis and Joseph Mullett-occupyin the
same house over the creek. On the even
ing of the 21st ult., some 80 or 40 of their
friends swOoped down upon them, and ef-
fected a graceful surrender. Refresh
ments, games and plays, songs and what
not filed up the time and the surprised
parties flaunted the following bit of
machine work of the muse:
Free to eat and free to drink,
Free to speak and free TO think,
Free to stay, all night, or so
And in the morning, free to go.
On the same night large number of
our Baptist brethren went to the residence
of Mr. Hubbard, at Amboy, where IA sup
per of oysters was served to some so or
100, who sgathered for the benefit of the
church and society. -
Mrs W. R. Stewart is getting along
finely, and it looks as if her hard expert
ence might result in improved health in
due time. G.

Two bills now pending IN the Ohlo
Legislature, namely the bill to prevent
the fraudulent adulieratiOn OF butter ana
the bill relating to fertilizers, were read
before the convention and on motion
Messrs. /. Reeve, Of COlebrOOk, H. Tai
colt, OF Jefferson, and W. Benjamin, Of
Cherry Valley, were appointed a COM
mittee to report on the merits Of these
bills to the convention.
Sidney H. Cook, Secretary Of the con-
ventiOn, read an able address prepared by
Hon. n. E. French, after which a resOlu-
ton expressing the thanks and apprecia-
tiOn Of the convention to Mr.. French was
unanimously adopted.
Mr.. g. H. Bunnell read an interesting
essay on the subject of wheat-growing.
Mr.. S. H. Cook exhibited a vessel con-
tanning a specimen of Orchard-grass, and
spoke highly Of the vigOr and other quail
ties Of this species Of grass.
Mr.. Miller said his horses wouldn't eat
orchard grass unless they were very hun
CRY. He thought timothy and clover
much better and more profitable.
Mr.. J. Reeve said his horses never ate
any hay that they liked better than or
chard grass.
Mr.. n. L. Smith, of Berg Hill, said
horses had to be educated to liking or
rd-grass; that they would become ac-
customed to it and acquire taste for it,
especially the hay. He would not advise
any one to sow orchard grass for meadow,
for the tendency Of it is to bog up so that
a moving machine viii frequently tear 1t
up by the roots.
Mr.. Johnson thought orchard grass better
for pasture than any other variety Of grass;
that it would produce more feed,
and that stock like it rs well as any other
grass.

Eds. Tel:-Your "Farmer" correspond
ent from Trumbull last week hit the nail
on the head, in discussing the Congression-

the dollar of the ''daddies" been hawked
and hissed at from Maine to California by
the powerful enginry of the press, and
the Greenbaeks looked upon as an intruder.
with the mark of Cain upon them, in times
of peace, while capital is being represented

asks our Trumbull correspondent. We
answer most emphatieally, no! Worse than
this, it is simply outrageousl The 10Th
Congressional district is emphaticslly a

and interest of its people, and there is no
valid reason why it should not be repre-
sented by one of their number. '"The

in ourselves. We are underlings." Some
self-constituted candidate comes before the
