THURSDAY AFTERNOON.


Came together at , o'clock, and after
music listened to an address by Mr.. Penn.
Der, on "The advantages Of Vermont as a
home for farmers, rs compared with some
other portions of our country"
This subject was quite ably discussed by
the speaker, who brought out in strong
light the many advantages of our state,
showing the superior opportunities that are
possessed and which are calculated to fos-
ter greater love for our native home and
state. But if young man has decided to
remain in Vermont on farm he should
not be content to pursue the same course
as former generations, but remembering
that improvements are being made in all
the departments of industry; he should
not consider that his chosen occupation is
an exception, but demands equally MS we'll
spirit of study, investigation and pro
gress, and the results will depend in n
great measure on this determined. encr.
getic quality of character and effort.
After the rendering of the Farmer" by
the choir, MIR. Lane addressed the audience
on the Economy of feeding" As this
paper and other leading ones will soon be
published further abstracts are uuneces-
sary.
After the address some questions were
asked of Mr.. Lane and answered by him.
He is of opinion that potatoes are worth
much less for feeding at this season of the
year than in the fall. Corn will produce
more fat than wool; oats makes a very
good grain feed. To breeding ewes Of
average weight would give in addition Ia
hay for the production of WOOL linseed
meal, oats and wheat bran. He would
not grind oats or other grain for sheep
Attaches very little value to cobs and
would not care to have them ground with
the corn for himself. Would feed roots to
mich cows and ewes while sucking their
lambs, for few weeks. This is in adj.
ton to good hay, including clover.
1t was stated that roots are not very
generally raised in this part of the state
A farmer has fed roots to mich COWS in
spring and believed it added to the health
and thrift of the animals.
Mr.. Goodwin would substitute s,me
other feed. such as bran, as being more
economical.
A farmer present has had good success:
In fattening animals with roots aud bay.
Another considers turnips and sugar
beets worth from ten to twenty cents a
bushel for feeding, while second doe:
not think them worth raising.
Mr.. Goodwin advised more care in ex,
perimenting with feeding stocks as we'll as
other farm operations, so as to become
more thoroughly informed rs to The best
methods and combinations.
Interesting remarks were made by
| Maecra Williama A1ver nd othaps sho,,,
ing laudable desire to benefit from the
discussion of the various subjects brought
up for consideration.
After listening to piece, entitled The
hand that holds the bread" from the choir,
q telegram was received from Governor
Farnham, announcing his intention of be
ing present at the evening session, which
was agreeable rs unexpected.

GENERAL HANCOCK.

Several newspapers, since the 7th in
slant, have been making up tho demo
cratic presidential slate for 1884. Why
not renominate Gen. Hancock So
far as availability or strength is con.
cerned he evidently showed in 1880
that he had the latter at least. Cteve-
lands recent large and overwhelming
vote In New York was 53G, 294; that for
Hancock was 534, 5l1, nearly as great as
Cleveland's. With all the advantages
In favor of the Buffalo favorite, with a
united aud enthusiastic party at his
back and with the assistance of thou
sands of republicans, he only beat Ham
cock seventeen hundred votes. The
triumphant Pattison, of Pennsylvania,
who came nigh beating the combined
vote of both his republican opponents,
did not, by several thousand, reach
Hancock's vote in that State. In fact
great as the recent victory was the
democratic vote In no State, except
Massachusetts and New York, equall-
ed that cast for Hancock in 1880. IT
popular strength is prerequisite as to
qualification to tho democratic candi-
dacy for president 1884, General. Han
cock is the proper man to nominate.-

DEATH OF ANDREW S. HEBRON.

Our community, this morning, was
shocked by the report that on last
night, Major Heron, as he was affec-
tionately called, had suddenly, while
in the apparent enjoyment of health
and in full possession of his great facul-
ties, yielded up his life to his Al
mighty Maker.
He had attended to his ordinary avo-
cations all day yesterday, and after
spending awhile in pleasant converse
ton with several friends, as he was in
the habit of doing, he had gone home
and to rest at his ordinary time, appa-
rently, in perfect health.
At about IL o'clock, with the fire
alarm was sounded, the Major arose
and after calling up his son, Foreman
L. ID. Beale, Of Independence Fire
Company No. 2, he walked a square
or two towards the fire, whereupon, af-
ter short absence, he returned home
and again retired. Scarcely had ne
done so when he again arose and walk
ed out. Upon his return, Miss Annie
Beale, his daughter, startled by his
loud respiration, found him reclining
in an arm chair. Alarmed at his con-
dition, she told him that she was go
lug to send for the Doctor, when he
asked her not to become excited. He
spoke lew WOrUS more, anu are nAS
griefstricken relatives, with a few
friends, had gathered around him-the
personification of all that Is noble in
man, that splendid citizen, of whom
not only Baton Rouge, but the State
will ever be proud, Andrew s. Heron,
had ceased to live, save in the hearts
of an entire community by whom he
was beloved and revered, as men sell
dom are, so universally.
True to his country, true to his
friends true to every honorable instinct
magnanimous towards the enemies of
his people, for he had none himself !;
MS true rs the purest Toledo blade that
ever was unsheathed in defence OF
Right, the name of Andrew S. Heron
stands unmatched among the list of
Baton Rouge's most cherished citi-
zens!
His life was but series of acts of
unselfsh devotion. Looking upon
worldly goods as mere dross, he rared
only to maintain his spotless good
name and to serve-his feiiow-beings
and his country, whenever he was call
ed by them.
All around us, from the Governor of
the State down to the humblest citizen,
we see heartfelt sorrow coupled with
the consciousness that Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, and the South, if not the
country, have sustained an immeasur-
able loss.-B. R. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Is SAMMY SERIOUS?

New York, PA rcinarka aba bic
report was about town yesterday. The
report was simply to the effect that
Samuel J. Tilden had determined to
take Il wife to his BOSOM 1t was diff
cult to obtain an authentic confirmation
or denial Of the statement. All that
was known WAS that the eN-President
had been extremely attentive to n very
charming young lady from Now
Orleans, now in that city, had paid
her numerous visits and has spent con.
siderable amount OF money on very
magnificent floral offerings, which if
not laid on her feet were at least placed
on her table. The reporter went to the
hotel TO interview the young lady. He
first encountered her mother, whom lie
addressed thusly: "May I ask you,
madam, whether it is true that your
daughter is engaged to be married to
Samuel j. Tiidcn ?''
'No truth whatever i'll il, is there,
Niua:' Mrs.--replicd, turning to
be tall, graceful brunette of an I'M
mistakable Southern type, with features
expressive Of great intelligence and
lovablencss of disposition, beautiful
complexion, dark brown hair soft deep
hazel eyes, small hands and feet, indeed
a very pretty girl. There is strange
likeness, to a casual observer, between
her and the Jersey Lily.
Miss Nina laughed, looked at some
lovely floral offerings in the room and
said: 81 don't believe Governor Til,ien
has seriously contemplated anything
so Enthusiastically am not engaged
to him.
The reporter next sought Mr.. Tilden
at Greystone and on stating his er-
rand, was promptly bounced.

REJECTED robson.

Secor Robson announces dolefully
that he will retire from politics having
retired him indefinitely. Perhaps
more money was actually expended in
his Congressional district than in any
other of the whole three hundred and
twenty-five. The old Navy Ring, the
contractors and jobbers with whom he
had long been associated, and Jay
HubbelI's committee put up tens of
thousands, while Robson himself made
large investment, with the expecta-
ton of liberal return.
Robson was fully confident of re.
election until n fortnight before the 9TH
of November. He had bought the
nomination by scandalous bribery of
delegates, chosen fairly for his oppo.
nent. And he made bargains with rot
ten Democrats, and with other floating
Spectators, by which he felt sure of his
return until the effects of the Ohio re-
volt began to be developed. Then he
was seized with panic, which was
made manifest by calling l<eifer to the
rescue.
This crushing defeat ends tho career
Of the most notorious jobber that has
ever appeared in public life. No one
ever maintained himself in the facc of
repeated exposures as long as Robe
son has done. He goes down to rise
no more. To party dare touch him
with serious recognition. In the fu-
ture he will be Stunned by the very
men who f,,wned upon him in the past
at Washington.
John Roach and his confederates re-
ceived Il hard blow in Isobeson's over
throw. They not only lost all the
money contributed to aid his election,
but they also lost his long experience
In iobbery, his cunning in Congress,
and his skill in manipulation. Their
outlook for the next two years is not
promising, and only the desperate who
have been voted into exile will at
tempt to carry things with Il high
hand this winter.
Mr.. Hiscock got notice from his con-
stituents to disobey Robeson's orders
at the coming session, and If he VEN
lures to neglect this admonition, he
will be served with another of ster-
ner sort, that will not need repetition.
The plunderers will seek to make the
most OF their last opportunity in the
remaining months of the Forty.sey-
enth Congress, which will go out in de-
served disgrace on the 4th of March
next. But they will be watched Mt
every turn, and the dread of publicity
will put II curb on success.-N. Y. san.

eErTlNG A RAILROAD SURVEY.

The Concordia Sentinel of last week
has the annexed notice of a railroad en-
terprfse which Is of interest to many of
our readers:
Mr.. Chas. w. Bryan, of franklin
parish, was in Vidalia yesterday solic-
ting subscriptions to aid in making a
survey of the proposed route Of the
Natchez and Northwestern Narrow
Gauge Railroad. Mr.. Bryan has sue
ceeded in raising for this purpose in
Natchez about three hundred dollars,
and Is sanguine that he will be able to
raise q sufficient sum in our town and
on the Tensas to have an engineering
party put in the field at once. This
road will connect Vidalia and Pine
Bluff on an air line, and will traverse
the parishes of Morehouse, Richiand,
FRANKLIN, Catahoula and Concordia.
It will open up very rich aud fertile
section of country in the central part
of our State, and possesses the addition
al advantages of being cheap line to
construct. Many persons along the
line of the proposed road have express
ed a willingness to subscribe freely of
their lands to the stock of the company
to aid in building the road, and we
must confess that the enterprise APP
pears to have a very substantial look.
Our people should meet Mr.. Bryan
cordially, and contribute liberality in
aid of making the survey.

NEW YORK ssSUN" SHINING.

The peremptOry dismissiOn from
Government employ of Spencer, Henry
Anger, Parker, and Helm is l'resi-
dent Arthur's most important act
since he vetoed the River and Harbor
bill. Life the River and Harbor veto,
it commends itself to all good citizens
of all parties and all factions. There
| is no difference of opinion about the
merit Of energetic proceedings for the
protection of the Treasury, or for tho
just punishment Of its plunderers
The new trial of the Star route con-
spirators is set down for the first week
in December. cit seems to me impor-
tant," wrote Col. Bliss to the Presi-
dent, tsthat before that time the atrnOs-
phere which surrounds the ease Off
cially should be in some measure puri-
fled, that every one may know what I
know so ACKNOWLEDGEMENT the prosecu-
ton is in dead earnest, from the Presi
dent down."
At the present time there could be
no better evidence of dead earnestness
on the part of the President than he
has afforded.
We may observe that when it be-
came necessary for Gen. Arthur to
clear the deck of friends and comfor-
ters of the Star route thieves, he did
not hesitate In the perfO rmance of that
duty because it involved the removal
of Marshal Henry, ono of tho most UNI
tit of al! the unfit appointments made
for personal reasons by the late I'resi-
dent Garfield.
We may also observe that with Il
part of the Republican press it is now
the fashion to call upon Gen. Arthur
to be less of politician and more of a
statesinan-to widen his horizon to the
diameter of Garfield's. Please let us
have no more of that balderdash, for it
is every annoying. Ono point of dis
similarity between Gen. Garfield's adj
ministration and Gen. Arthur's is that
while the late President made a great
many professions and promises, and
performed very few crcditable acts, the
present President has made few pro-
fessiOns, but has kept his ears open to
good advice, and has frequently man.
aged to do right. Taken altogether,
Arthur's appointments have boon
vastly better than Garfield's. Garfield
put Stanley Matthews on the bench
of the United States Supreme Court.
Arthur put Judge Blatchford and
Judge Gray there. Taken altogether,
Arthur's executive acts have been
immeasurably superior to Gartield's i'll
honesty OF purpose. Garfield launched
tnc sVcoV guam Joo AhN ANAASN oSSA W
the Star route thieves the papers con-
tanning the Governments case against
them. Arthur vetoed the River and
IIarbor steal and removed George r.
Spencer and Charles T.. Henry.
In fact, it is worth while for some of
our Republican contemporaries to re-
member that about all that has been
done tor many months to keep the
party from sinking out of sight i'll a sea
of corruption has been done by the
gentleman now occupying the White
House.

THE STORY OF A LEGISLATORS
BRANDY BOTTLE.

To EDITOR OF TIE Sun IL read
in TIE Sun to-day of the use which
the late Mr.. Stokes made of applejack,
and it allied to mind an odd bit of
experience. Previous to the war, the
Legislature of Louisiana sat at Baton
Rouge. 1 was member of that body,
and as it was a difficult matter to obtain
any good liquor in any of the bar
rooms, L was in the habit of keeping
in the Office of the hotel a bottle OF
good old brandy. One of the members
of the House was a leading Methodist
brother and also a strict temperance
society member. AS general thing,
1 came homo from the State House late
in the evening and INDUCED in 4 night
cap before retiring. On several oc-
casions l noticed that my brandy dis
appeared very mystcriously, and it oc-
curing so often 1 finally spoke to the
night clerk about it. "Why,' he very
innoceutly replied, "NIr. - told me
he had your permission to take half
tumbler full to his room to batic his
feet, that being the only thing that re-
lievcd them, as they are very tender,
and he says being II temperance man
he would not dare go into IL store and
buy it." So you see that MIR. Stokes
was not the only man who used brandy
