THE SECOND DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

The forenoon of the second day was occu-
pied with the reports of several committees,
together with remarks and brief speeches
from a large number of members. O. O.
Whitney of Royalton, from the committee on
cooperation, made q report at some length, in
which he gave the term of cooperation a broad
Significance. j. Brewster of South Wood
stock made some earnest remarks concerning
dormant oranges and backsliding members,
dscouraging expensive efforts to get up re-
vivals among them, and recommending care
for the living rather than the dead. A. S.
Cook, from the committee on grievances, made
an exceedingly humorous report, resulting IN
a sequel that brought down the house with
laughter. On several occasions this gentle
man entertained the assembly with highly
amusing remarks. Joseph Gold of Roxbury
explained the objects and purposes of the
Patrons Aid Society and urged members of
the order to avail themselves OF its provls-
ions. j. Brewster of South Woodstock re-
ported the favorable condition of the Pomo-
ma grange recently organized in Windsor
county, and the several oranges of which it
is composed. They have given more atten-
ton TO the social and intellectual features of
the order than 10 finance or trade. Mr..
Houghton of Townshend reported the con-
dition of the Pomana grange OF this county
and warmly recommended sustainingl It. He
ports were made more or less favorable or
unfayorable of the condition of several other
county or Pomona oranges There are
nine or ten Pomona oranges in Che state,
whose charters are now in force. Chaplain
E. E. Andrews made some spirited re-
marks concerning matters of especial interest
to members of the order. Several members
advocated the teaching of agriculture in the
public schools. Alpha Messer gave state

Whence Come the Birds I,
[From the Philadelphia Times.

Along in cherry-time one wonders 10
see so many robins in the orchard and
over by the he1gerows; TO tho thorns of
which droop branches deeply BRAIDED
with the bits Of rel ripeness. Where do
the birds come from in such fidcks2 A
dozen in one tree, a score III another, and
even a hundred cutting the nil around
like arrows that are all throat. How do
they discover the cherry trees? And
isn't it surprising they should come long
leagues after them? But where grow
the cherries the birds do flock, and this
remembered it is not strange, that l3, 900
emigrants, mainly from the iaminc-strick-
On districts Of Silesia ana Hungary,
should have landed in New York during
the last three weeks. With bread scarce
and bayonets plenty, the lowcr-class
Europeans turn to the New World.
They know there is a strong revival III
our prosperily--that Americas cherries
are once more ripe--and twice RS many
Of them are coming this year SIS came
last.
