Glover Seed.

Glover seed is likely to be unusually high
priced this year, as the crop seems to have
been short nearly everywhere. Toledo, Ohio,
is the headquarters of the trade and probably
the largest market in the country. A late
telegram from that place predicts 'corner"
in clover seed there, which. if formed must
raise the prices elsewhere also. The stock
now held is reported to be not over 1000 bags
of old and 1000 bags of new clover seed. the
former being practically out of the market,
and most of the latter in the hands of
couple of firms, who are said to be deter
mined to hold on to It until they get their own
prices, buying in all that may be offered, so
as to get control of the market. While a
capital of millions of dollars is needed to
''corner" wheat, pork or dairy products, less
than sl0O, 900 would be sufficient to corner
clover seed. Last Tuesday the price of
prime medium seed on Change was S.. and
the tendency was upward. The ''heaving"
of clover last winter will not only lower the
supply and thus raise the price. but also in
crease the demand, as it is likely that an I'M
usually large area will be sown next spring.
Farmers who have to buy seed as well as
those who have to use it, should not lose
sight of these considerations. Rprai Ner

The Mackerel Catch for 1880.

The mackcrel catch of New England for
1880 has been larger than for many years
previously. Gloucester had fleet of 40
vessels, with 100 seines, employing 1850 men,
and the catch is estimated at l29, 500 bbls.,
the largest of any year since 1865, when the
Gloucester fleet took l4l.576 bbls. Last year
the Gloucester inspection was A., ,6f3, and the
year before 50, 742 bbls. The RockpOrt feet

taking 81, $50 bbls. The Provincetown mack
ereling fleet numbered 7 vessels, manned by

this fishery, Boothbay reports a catch of 1924

Are you going to the entertainment Satur-
day evening, under the auspices of the Au-
gusta Band? The Hindoo Jugglers have at
tracted immense audiences wherever they
have appeared. The Boston Journal saws:
''The party is under the charge and direction
of Mr.. Harry w. French, and form an ad
junct to his illustrated lecture on his travels
in India. In beginning his lecture, he spoke
OF the great beauty of Iada, Of its extent,
and of its marvellous treasures, and of the
fact that but little was known of it in Amer
lea. There are in India twenty-tbree differ
ent languages. more Independent Kingdoms
than Europe contains, and as many religions.
The lecturer proceeded to describe Bombay and
its surroundings, aud large number of very
beautiful views were thrown upon the screen.
The illustrated water scenes, groups of ma
tives, and many phases of city and rural life.
After an intermission, in which an exhibition
was given in Hindoo juggling and snake
charming, the lecturer continued with an in
teresting account, fully illustrated with
colored stereopticon views, as in the first in
stance, of journey among the Himalayas,"

Delegate Bennett Of Dakota is zealously
laboriDg to create sentiment among
members of the House of Representatives
in favor of his bill to divide the Territory
of Dakota and to admit the southern part
into the Union as a State. The bill has
been referred to the committee on terri
tories. which as vet has taken no action
regarding it. Mr.. Bennett proposes to
divide the present territory on the 10th
parallel, north latitude. thus throwing
about 80, 600 square miles into the new
State, and $4,000 into the new territorial
subdivision. The population of the new
State would be about 100, 900. and that of
the Territory about $4,000. The popula-
ton Of the whole Territory in 1870 was
only about 1000 against l36, 900 in 1880,
and Mr.. Bennett says that the increase
during the last two years has been unpre-
cedented. The total vote in 1873 was
less than 10000, while in 1880 it exceed
ed 5000, an increase Of about 30 per
cent.

Superior Court.-Judge whitehouse, pre-

No. 1872. Gcorgiana Trask W.. Alvah
Sherman. Spear for ptf., Potter & Andrews
for deft In this action the plaintiff seeks to
recover back from the def. on count for
money bad and received, the sum of $500
paid by the ptf. while she was minor, but
married woman, towards a small farm in
Liberty. The ptf. does not deny her contract
for the purchase of the farm, but claims
the right TO rescind it on the ground
OF her infancy. The defence is that
the ptf., though a married woman, was
still under guardianship, and that the
contract vas in fact the contract cf
the guardian, and binding; and secondly that
the ptf. aud her husband, having occupied
the farm four years, should, in any evenl,
account for the rents and profits during that
time. The ptf rejoins that by express pro-
vision Of the statute the authority Of the
guardian ceased when the plaintiff was
married. and that the contract not being fully
executed, the ptf is not liable to account for
rents and profits. Under the instructions Of
the judge the jury returned verdict for the
plaintiff, and assessed the damages at $3.50. u.

in the world more Christians than ever before
and a. good Christians as ever lived. There

The scene in the House Of Representa-
tives on Tuesday. when the candidate of
the greenback party for President and >
prominent member Of the democratic par
ty hurled the lie at each other, and pre-
pared to strip for fistic encounter, was
not one which the people Of this country
would care to have immortalized upon can
vassor preservedin enduring bronze. Ofthe
many disgraceful affairs which have oc-
CURED in Congress, this seems to have
been the most disgraceful.
And when we take into account that this
bitter duel of words, and like-to-have-been
duel of fists, was between members Of the
two great parties who fused together and
plotted together to destroy the republican
party, and that they but represented in
their individual acts the bitterness, hatred
and strife now existing between said
parties, we wonder how such things
can exist in such SEEM
ingly happy and vigorous family as
was the fusionist family six months
ago. It is q bad state Of affairs when
brethren of the same organization get into
the condition in which the fusionists now
find themselves. It is, however, only
what republicans anticipated and prophe-
cied. Each faction cheated the other and
both we're cheated in turn. The demo-
Gratis fused with the greenbackers tor the
purpose of duping and controlling the
latter; and the greenbackers entered into
the alliance strong in the faith that they
could overmaster and lead their allies.
It Is fortunate that there were republi-
cans enough in the House to prevent
Weaver and Sparks from coming to blows,
for had they joined battle there would pro-
badly have been no end OF hostilities un-
til Weaver and his party friends had been
laid out stark and stiff by the enraged
democracy. The ex-Confederate, ku-
Klux, ballot-box stuffing. short-haired
and long -eared democracy are dreadful
crowd for decent or even indecent men to
fall among.
