HOPES FOR THE FUTURE.

l look forward with bright antlcipa-
tion to the future of our Common
wealth. Her possibilities are great be,
yond those of almost any Of her sister
States. Let it always be remembered
by all citizens that intelligence and vir-
tue are the safe. guards of liberal insti-
tu;ions. The law must be preserved in
its integrity and supremacy; citizen
ship should not be treated as light
privilege but it's duties should be
made serious matter of conscientious
performance the purity of our elec-
tions must be sacredly preserved, and
all alike should feel personal interest
in discharging .heir obligations to the
State and sustaining the officers of the
law in the faithful and just perfor-
nance of their functions. 1t will al
ways be my pleasing duty to co op-
crate with the representatives of the
people in giving validity to enact
ments whose object is the dissemina-
ton of information, the promotion of
the general welfare, the placing of ad-
ditional safeguards around the up.
right, or the punishment and restraint
of the lawless and vicious. In short,
whatever will tend to develop the re.
sources, increase the comforts. or en-
large the happiness and prosperity OF
che citizens of State, which has been
alike fortunate in its location and
the wise policy of its founder
should receive the sedulous attention
and constant support of every one who
is called upon to make. expound, exc
cute, or obey the laws.

The House has followed the exam
pie of the State Senate, and the mem,
bers have decided that, under existing
laws, they are entitled to 800 worth
of postage stamps. Whether the law
allows it ..or not, such an amount OF
stamps ought not to be drawn from
the treasury unless the members actu-
ally need them for correspondence
with their constituents. The State
ought not to pay the postage on pri
vate letters. There is good chance
for reform by the introduction of bill
that will put an end to this abuse.

Prevent Forest Fires.

There is great loss every season by
individuals owning wood lots, and to
the public, from careleSsness or design
in handling fire. In the summer droaths,
the leaves and fallen limbs become like
finder, and the cigar stump or emptied
pipe, the brands from Il campfire or
picnic party, are enough to kindle n
great conhagration. Fires are often
started from the sparks of railroad
engine, from carelessness in burning
brush, or from miscellaneous boys, Just
to see the blaze. There is much loss to
the owner of the forest burnt over, in
trees Killed. in fuel and fences consum-
ed, and in the vegetable wealth of leav-
es and mould burned and dissipated.
The forest does not recover, rs when it
is cut with the Ak. II remains for years
4 biackcned dcSolation in the land
scape. In most eases, the whole neigh
borhoOd suffers from the reduction of
the area of forest. already too small to
husband the rain fall. and protect the
springs and rivulets, that feed the riv-
ers. This great public evil should have
the immediate attention Of all our law
makers. AmeTican .4GricUituriSt for

something happened. He was on his
