The following, copied from tho Boon.
vile. No.. Topic, is so full Of truth and
sublime sentiment. calculated to inspire
the Farmer to higher appreciation OF
bis God-giving calling, that We take
great pleasure in transferring it TO our
columns, and hope every farmer will
read it:
Since God created the earth, agricuI.
ture has existed. There Is no occupa.
tion that precodes it, nor order or asso-
citation that can rank with the tiller,
OF the soil. Before literature existed.
before governments were known, agri-
culture was the first calling or man.
Tho order OF Patrons is the only asso.
citation that originates, exists aud works
with its members in their daily avoca-
lions. 1t is part Of the farmers life, It
does not call him from his work TO put
his mind upon any other subject, but
tends TO recreation in his daily duties.
and, by cheerful instruction. to Tighten
and elevate his labor. It's teachings arc
the loltiest that man can seek. 1t does
not interfere with his religious or polit
zeal views. In morality 1t seeks the
highest point, honesty is inculcated, ed.
ucation nnrtured, charity Is a promi.
nent characteristic. temperance is sun.
ported, and brothorly love cultivated.
IL Is designed TO bind the farmers to
go,hcr in fraternity and by encourag-
ing education, advance 10 a higher state
OF perfection the science Of agriculture.
We aim to encourage tho planting of
fruits and flowers by which to enhance
the value and increase the attractions
OF our bones, adjoining them with those
beauties so lavishly given us by the
God OF Nature, and there is no calling
more eievating 10 tho mind than agri.
culture, when observed as instructed
In our order. God. in the beginning,
mado-it honorable, and it is our duty
10 sustain 1t as such. Discarding the
principles which shut out woman from
knowledge Of the mysteries, We open
wide the door. and bid her welcome
and in so doing we.claim precedent,
when God said, 1t is not good for man
to be alone
Ours is social order, all can find
herein something TO enjoy, and We be-
ileve there is nothing better for n man.
than that he should cat and drink, and
that he should make his soul enjoy

A correspondent Of the Hartford

statements made by the newspapers
In connection with the recent shooting
OF an Andover student while i'm the
act OF committing burglary. Neither
OF the two brothers engaged in the
affair was theological student, both
OF them being members of Phillips
Academy, the well-llnown classical
school of Andover. Their actions had
previously excited the suspicious Of
their teachers, and they were known
to their fellow students as bad bows.
Their relations to their fathers fam
lily, says the correspondent, were not
OF that description which points any
moral III regard to what is termed q
Christian education.' AS to the creed
OF these adventures, it was an ayo,y.
ed, blatant intidelity.
The intimation that these rascals were
candidates for the Christian ministry
was spread rapidly over the country.
No".that it turns out they were infidcls,
ana not processing Christianity at all,
the progress Of the truth will be slow.
From which we learn that the public are
dstoHjsfed TO hear Of Christians commit
ting crime, and secondly, many are more
willing TO publish such report than 10
deny it. They are willing to let it 90
TO tho discredit of religion. But we
must bear in mind that offences will
come, chat there ere bad men even a.
mong those who profess to be good men,
aud that religion will survive the fall of
its professors. ThIs Andover crime and
tragedy will reflect disgrace not on
Christianity, but on those who sought
TO use it To injury Of the truth.-N. T.

AN INNOCENT MAN VINO SPENT FoUR
YEARS IN MoUNDsvILLE PgNIrENriA-
RY.-"There's an interesting story for
you, said Governor jackson to q Lea
der reporter in tho executive Office at
the capital, yesterday afternoon, as he
pointed TO q pardon which had been
brought in for his signature. The re.
porter glanced ut the document which
set forth in the usual formal phraseolo.
gy that an unconditional pardon WAS
thereby granted to Il. ii. 7. Shepherd.
convicted in the. Circuit Court Of sum
mers county, OF the crime Of forgery,
and sentenced to six years imprison.
ment i'll the penitentiary therefor.
THAT man." resumed the Governor,
mas been in that place four years with.
out having committed any offence. It's
curious story. IL seems that about
four years ago he sold q farm in Bedford
county, Va, to man named w. =.
Campbell and took his notes for part
payment. Shepherd then moved to
Summers county, w. Va, and purchas I.
ell place, giving the notes signed 10y
w. +. Campbell as part of the conside-
ration. 1t seems that there was q man
named w. f. Campbell living in Sum-
mers county, and hearing of these notes
bearing the same name rs his own, he
had Shepherd arrested on q Charge of
forgery, and succeeded in convicting
him."
"But why did not Shepherd show the
real maker of the notes p
"lie never got chance apparently,
Campbell, who signed tho notes, had
moved to Tennessee. and could not be
found. Shepherd applied for contin-
uan2e IN his case TO secure bls witness
es, but it was refused him. Here is the
whole story contained in an affidavit
made 10y the Summers county Campbell,
who secured Shepherds conviction."-
And here the Governor read a sworn
statement, made by w. p. Campbell, of
Summers county, stating the details Of
Shepherds trial and conviction how
that suspicion vas reused against Shep-
| herd by tho fact that no other w. y.
Campbell than himself lived in the
! neighborhood where the notes were last
negotiated how his case was forced to
trial, and the accused "railroaded" into
the penitentiary. and how he had subse.
quently ascertained that the notes were
genuine, their maker still living, and
that Shepherds punishment was entire.

Delegate Lowry and other prominent
citizens OF Summers county, accompa-
MED and confirmed Campbelrs state
ment, and the Governor EXPIRE ssed his
! belief that the facts set forth were sub
stantially correct. "The straugest part
about it," he added, "is that this show.
ing has beca on flo in tho executive
office for nearly two years, the matter
not being for some reason brought up
and settled. This ends it.''
And the Governor proceeded to get
ready for trip home, while the ropor-
ter fell into brown study over the vi
