SUPREME COURT.
March Term, 1853, Judge Peters, Pre-
siding.

SATTRDAY, March l5
Sanders VS.. Getchell & ais, After the tes-
timony was all out. the counsel decided to
report the case to the Law Court, they to rem
der such decision as the law and the evidence
requires.
No 1913 Hiram 0. Pierce VS.. Elbridge L.
Getchell & ais. Joseph Baker and Waldron
for plaintiff. Webb for defendants. BY
consent of counsel. this case was also
reported to the Law Court. The
facts are substantially these. At the
September election 1882 in the town of
Waterville, a man calling himself Edgar o.
Pierce, demanded the right to vote. he was
told by defts., the municipal officers of said
town in charge of the check list. that his
name was not on the list but the name of II.
.. Pierce was there, he said that his name,
and on this statement the defendants al
lowed him to vote. Afterwards the real III
o. Pierce put in an appearance and claimed
The right to vote; that he the identical
II o. Pierce whose name on the list and
IA legal voter in that town, was not questioned,
but his vote was refused on the ground that
one man had already voted under that
name and if two were allowed
to vote it might vtiate the elec-
election. The Law Court is to pass on this
case on the preceding one.
The jury was discharged today after an
attendance of twelve days.
Court adjourned until Friday the 23rd,
when Judge Peters will return and hear all
matters addressed to the court.

Farming,

1t seems to us the future of farm
ing has never looked so prosperous
as at present. Agricultnrists are
realizing more freely every day the
fact that theirs is the foundation
rock of all prosperity, and that they
are the mediums or motive power
that runs and sustains all indus
tries. Acknowledging the fact is a
long sted toward improvement, and
when they come freely to realize the
necessity of education and the as,
sistanee this will give them, a
marked change can be looked for
in the financial and social condition
of the farming community. 1t is
not enough to know how to pillow a
straight furrow or swing a scythe
or cradle, there must be a general
change of social life and intellectu-
al culture, a broadening and ex-
banding of mind, a better knowl-
edge by reading, study and social
contact; not so much living alone
with the pillow and the hoe handles
as principal company, but seeking
contact with the world. The wei
fare of this country is in the hands
of the farmers, if they knew it; it's
commercial as well as political man
agement might be subject to their
will, if they would only exercise
the mind power, but in this latter
(political) condition there is no
more subservient class to the will of
their masters-political wire-pullers
than they. 1t is the farmers
votes that elect our legislators, but
not their voice, for but few have the
courage to study and discuss ques-
tons on their merit and without
party prejudice. If they did, diff
ferent class of men would rule the
country, and the agricultural inter-
est receive more direct encour-
agement and attention. Farm and

for his manures which will return
him two or three fold its cost And
this is not all the gain. Besides
the annual profits on the crop,
there is the annually increasing val
ueIof his land-his capital, This sys-
tenn of farming, by whatever name
it may be called, is the true system
and the one which must ultimately
be adopted by those who are to be
prosperous. Bnt the farmer must
guard against the fallacy that the
mere money profits from sale of
crops is all that he sshould expect
from his farm. If these profits are
to go for purchasing the means of
living, then he is not going forward,
but standing still, with the chances
of retrograding. Food, abundant
food for man and beast is to be pro
yided. Not food only, but the va
rious comforts and luxuries which a
farm can furnish and which every
farmers family should enjoy. His
living is mean item in the list OF
profits to be derived from a well
kept farm, He has it in his power
to enjoy luxuries which can scarce
| ly be purchased elsewhere in equal
j purity and excellence. The or
chard, dairy and vegetable garden
THE poultry, hogs, sheep and al
other meats, are only accessories
which can be b ad at very little cos
of money or labor.

Pasture Grasses.

The National Live Stock Journal
tells US that pasture should not con-
sist of one kind of grass only, be.
cause q stock prefer a variety,
going from one to the other, thus
keeping their appetites whetted; ~
because the grasses having differ
ent periods at which they mature,
one kind having passed its best
stage, another comes to its best, and
takes its place, (3) because grasses
vary in the degree of standing wet
and drouth, hence, if one sort is in
jured by vitissitudes of the weather,
another may be to an equal degree
benefited. 1t should be more the
practice to stimulate pasture with
special manures. This is as neees-
sary thing to do as to feed par
ticular animal freely because it is
falling off in flesh. Among the best
to tardy growing grass
is nitrate of soda; and this may be
used freely on pastures without
great outlay and with prompt and
beneficial results. To us using nj
trate of soda on the pasture is new
idea, but the paper quoted is re-
garded as first-class authority.

Intensive Farming,

We hear much of Intensive
Farming" By this term we I'M
derstand that system by which a
judicious application of manure and
rotation will make the biggest crops,
while at the same time the land is
gradually improving and becoming
more valuable. This is intense
farming. The land is the farmers
bank on which he is to draw. If
his drafts exceed his deposits, the
bank fails. If he wants his bank
account to 60 on increasing, SO as
to meet readily all its drafts, he
must keep an eye to his deposits.
The deposits consist of high ma
nuring-not simply the greatest
quantity or the most costly artificial
fertilizers, but such as are specially
needed tor the growing crop with
the least possible outlay in money.
AS in every other business where
competition exists, reduced cost of
production is one of the main ele-
ments of success. Market prices
for farm products are fixed by the
general law of supply and demand.
Railroad facilities quickly adjust
them even between very distant
points. The farmer who makes
his crops at least cost, Ikea the
merchant who lays in his stock on
the most favorable terms, can best
sell at a profit. But the farmer
who spends $50 per acre for manure
and sells the product for $3.50 per
acre, is doing a better business than
be who buys no manure and makes
only $50 per acre. 1t may be to
his interest, therefore. to pay money |

The True Wife.

The true wife not only has the
confidence of her husband, but the
affairs in her especial care flourish
like garden in height OF summer;
ali things beautiful spring from her
touch, and he enjoys the blessing of
her tact and taste, without fully re-
alizing how it comes. She loves the
praise of her husband, which should
not be stinted, and she is DESTROYS
to share in his life-work; and his
confidence and esteem is all the re-
ward she asks. She will never over
tax his income, for she knows how
much it is; and her share of it is al
ways well expended, and, although
she may sometimes long for an in
crease of worldly goods, she never
reproaches him when he is diligent
and does his best to maintain his
family in ease and comfort.

Farmers.

If farmers doSnot occupy the
highest positions in the social and
political circles of the country it is
due entirely to themselves. There
is no more ennobling occupation, or
one which requires more scientific
and practical knowledge, than az
riculture, and those who qualify
themselves, or are instructed in the
science, have within themselves the
elements necessary to making
the society in which they minsle
more brilliant and desirable than
persons following any other pur-
suits in life. With such assuran-
ces as these, therefore, let the no
BILE yeomanry come forth from their
too long continued retirement, and
lei the world know that there is a
power behind the throne which has
remained dormant while ii should
have been shining.
One of the most notable charac-
tiers among agriculturists, and whose
name is familiar and is authori-
ty for farmers whever civilization
has asserted itself, is Sir John Ben
nett Lawes, of England. His con-
tributions to agricultural literature
have been engraved upon the tab
lets of history so deeply that they
will remain to immortalize his name
during all time. Yet his proudest
boast is he isla farmer. To rerch the
high standard of attainments upon
which stands this worthy scion of
the most valuable of all industries,
much time, diligent study and I'M
ceasing labor in the experimental
field must be devoted, and with
such, and determination to excel
it is not a wild prediction to make
that any young man, with sufficient
intellect, industry, and perseverance,
may take a place alongside this
great agricultural scholar.
Formerly, educational adyanta-
ges were so limited in the. United
States that the rural districts were
left out entirely, and then the til
ers of the soil had to rely altogeth
er upon how to cultivate their crops
: breed their cattle,etc. Now, how
ever, when first rate schools are
dotted over every neighberhood
agricultural literature extended
, and journals devoted to that clas.
r of knowledge disseminated in every
+ port of the land, no excuse can b.
made for an uneducated, ignoran
farmer, nor his withholding from
; society, both in civil and politica
+ life. The secluded life of the farm
naturally induced a fondness TO
retirement, but progress demands ;
change in these habits, and requires
!. the intermingling of farmers, to in
lterchange ideas, relate practical ex
periences, see the constantly in
creasing novelties in machinery, il
order to keep up with the times
Besides these considerations, tn
, farmers should always sremembe
they outnumber the balance of tn
country's population, and that thei
aggregated wealth is far create
than all the other interests in tn
: land. Hence their duty to be rep
resented in the state and nations
r legislatures. Once they do this
their being will be recognized
, power felt, and their infuenc
: sought after Southern Indus
tries.

Modesty Rewarded.

During a time of famine in France,
rich man invited twenty of the
poor children in the town to his
house, and said to them: I'm this
basket is a loaf for each one of you;
take it; come back every day at

The children, eeizing the basket,
wrangled and fought for the bread.
Each wished to get the largest loaf,
and at last went away without
thanking their friend. Francesca.
alone, poor but neatly-dress . 4
girl, stood modestly apart, took the
smallest loaf which was left in 4be
basket, gracefully kissed 'sbe oen-
tleman's hand, and wens awa9, r.
