Another new thing, brought hefs
this season, may be very useful 70 your
Iron County farmers, where It IL col
hard to keep fences over your rushing
streams, and that IL . patent hood-gate.
Suppose you make . stalk rake head,
with long strong teeth, and put jour
mails at each end Of the head 20 that
when hung across the stream BY these
journals the head would keep the teeth
upright; but when the water rises
above the head the teeth are forced
over, on the bottom Of the stream, the
water and drift passing over them and
when the food subsidies the head draws
the teeth to their upright position
again. This briefly describes and illus
trates the invention, but no one will in
fringe tho patent by making what I
have described, and hanging It ~ fash.

was going to Democratic pole rails
ing in Winchester when ] closed my
last. The rooster was to crow 175 feet
from terra fr,na. The hrst attempt 70
get him up to roost had failed; the At
tempt that:day failed and also the next.
Finally they sent for . good Republican
in Manchester, who by perseverance,,
and plenty Of tact. and tackle, got the
Grower up with his lofty perch. Most
Democrats condemned the whole thing
as piece Of childish folly, and especi-
ally as it was very costly, and the bills
mainly footed by. renegade Republi-
cans, as nearly all our county officers
are. Our papers are busy advertising,
for the benefit and delectation Of the
rest Of creation, what scoundrels, and
blacklegs, the Americans run for ONCE;
but the people generally seem to fear or
feel that the country has gone to the
eternal jim.jams anyhow, and wants .
total reorganization. Meet . friend and
you may converse for hours without
the slightest reference to politics. but
should the subject be touched, and II
you are not anticipated, and should sx-
press fears as to the permanence Of our
present government. and nine times out
OF ten. no mattsr what party the friend
belongs to. you will find your feelings
reflected in the friends mind. Our
government has the very woret faults
common to all others; 1t provides ways
and means for one class to get the re-
suits of others labor for nothing; and
all the inventions of the age, though
good in themselves, are used to aggra-
vate q condition Of things that II
vicious to begin with. People gener-
ally are beginning to see this, and to
realize also, that neither of the two old
parties propose to mend this condition
Of things, 80 that II the new third par
ty, the Greenback, would drop its pap
er money fooleries, and address itself to
the task of securing to every man the
results of his own labor, IL would over
whelm all others. Every party pro-
poses to complicate system ofgovern-
ment already too complex; we need II
simplified. Every party proposes to
Increase the public offices, we need
them very greatly decreased. Inshort
we need form Of government - near
ly democratic a. q representative form
of government can be made. The Re
publican party abolished chattel slav-
cry and then refused to advance against
social slavery, which bad customs,
and laws, have fastened upon us, just
as the Democratic party once, in finan-
cial matters. crushed the national bank
and then refused to touch the evil Of
state banks. We are close to o great
crisis; II we come through whole 1t will
be by and through the good sense of
the people, not through the efforts Of
or the success Of this politi-
cal party or that.

publican county paper has been sold
and is now run on the other track,

their canvass and put on chafing gear
