We hear, in this extreme western corner,
that Independent companies are offering to
come to your staid little city, and act as
vanguard to men (by courtesy who they
appear to think need protection. From what,
or whom? The above alluded to are pre-
.umably men of families, who must have suf-
fered notifications enough already without
having any more cowardly acts blot their es-
cutcheons. May every clergyman in Maine

with their honor or their purse, also their

of material: but rather look upon

Distressed Ireland.
Parnell states that as the British govern
ment had manifested no disposition to re-
lieve distress in Ireland, the Irish Land
League determined to seek aid in America,
and their local organizations will see that
funds from liberal Americ ms are distributed
to the needy. Psrnell says there doubtless
will be partial famine. At least $4,000
persons will be destitute before the first Of
February.

BETTER STOCK MUST BE KEpr.-The
right stock too must be kept in the right
place. The choice and management of ami
mails require an accurate knowledge which
must come from outside of his own farm
practice. A farmer cannot test these things
for himself and run the risk of losses tha,
would be ruinous to him. All this has been
done and recorded in books and agricultural
papers, together with much other indispen-
sable Information, SO that farmer must be
a reading man; else he can never hope to be
as successful as he should be. 4 dozen
volumes of the american Agricuiturist will
form nearly complete cyelopedia of agri-
cultural, mechanical and other useful knowl-
edge for any one who lives by cultivating
the soil. The work of the farm, garden and
household has been discussed, described, and
explained in these volumes for more than
30 years back, in full, fresh, and instruc-
tive manner; with them one can learn how
to Improve his own stock or where TO pro-
cure fhs hest animals, q well ss to improve
every method Of working, enabling him to
meet nearly every question and demand that
may naturally arise.

Tc.a.cts fer acrses.

Fergus Conner, in his book on ''Small
Farm saws there is nothing like boiled po-
tatoes as a food for growing horses. They
possess more nutriment for the making and
formation of bone. flesh and tissue than any
food of the same bulk. He furnishes his rea-
ders with some of his experiences, and
among other warns tells the following:

In the Gardeners Monthly We fine
some valuable instructions for the care o.
the vegetable garden. fruit trees and vines
Most kinds of fruit promise well for full
crops. 1t is here that trouble often begins
for trees cannot bear forever on nothing
and many forget TO give them food The
wise orchardist has thinned his fruit at az
early stage Of growth, and will now be
looking round for material To fertalize
them with. We should surface dres.

Cincinnati.

Events moved much more rapidly at Cincin- nati, than at Chicago. The preliminary event was Mr. TiIdeu's letter of declination.. It was r-piece-cunnlngly devised to deceive the very elect. 1t seems to have brought about reaction in his favor which might al most have made another Tilden and Hend- ricks nomination possible. Many imagined that it was intended to bring about just that result. Mir. Tilden repudiates any such plan The strangest result of all, after the death of the Tilden movement, was the fact that he left no heir. The followers of the old boss tried first to concentrate on Payne of Ohio, a man of money; and then on Randall, of Pennsylvania, man of brains, but, in the meantime, the Hancock stampede swept them all away, and the seccond ballot brought con- plete overthrow of all their schemes.
 The convention was called to order, Tues day morning, by Mir. Barnum, as Chairman of the National Democratic Convention. After effecting temporary organization, and ap- pointing the usual committees. the convention adjourned till Wednesday morning.
 On Wednesday, the New York contested delegation affair was settled in favor of the regular or Tilden body. There was no other contest. Gov. Stevenson, of Kentucky, was appointed permanent president, and nomina- tions of the various candidates were fol- lowed by ballet with the following re-
