Some General Information on the Institutes
to be Held the Coming Winter.
Farmers Institutes will be held the
coming winter wherever the local or
ganiZatbOn or individuals will thorough
ly work the field, bear local expenses,
thoroughly advertise, insure an audi
ence of 500 to 800 furnish good music,
vocal or instrumental, to enliven the
exercises, and organize and bring out
local talent to present brief practical
papers and essays on subjects of special
local interest, aud join in the discus
siOnS. Any such organizations should
report at once to Secretary W. l. Cham
berlain, stating the place and prospects,
and about what time would be prefer
red, so that he may make out general
programme or circuit of dates and Dla-
ces, that shall require the least possible
unnecessary and WeaTisOme travel. All
except local expenses will be borne by
the Board of State Agriculture and State
University.
As rule, the Board and University
can furnish lectures to only one lnsti-
tute in any given county. 1t should,
therefore, If possible, be held in place
that is central has railway and hotel
facilities, good, spacious hall or
church that can be thoroughly warmed
and ventilated, and a surrounding COM
munity be interested in agriculture and
social advancement, &C., so that the
meeting may be county institute. The
county seat is usually the best place,
unless it is large city like Cleveland,
Columbus, sc.
Secretary Chamberlain, in his ciTcu-
lar on this subject, says the Institutes
should be thoroughly advertised in ad-
vance. Nothing Che says) succeeds now
a-days that is not kept before the eyes
of the people. The Institutes should be
purely agricultural and social, and not
run in the financial interest of any par
ticular grange, association or fair, or
of any particular individual or industry
or to advertise implements, machines,
or wares of any kind whatever, though
of course the general objects of the
Grange, Farmers Club and the County
Agricultural and Horticultural SOcie-
ties, can and Will be greatly and legiti-
mately promoted. Papers and discus
siOns will be in order that tend to i'm
prove the intellectual, social and moral,
as we'll as the agricultural condition of
farmers and others. The object is to
have large and enthusiastic gatherings
that shall give the farmers and others
inspiration for better work and better
social life, and shall also give much
valuable information.

Betraying AN Undertaken ON Account OF "A

Early one morning three or four days

the weather, spoke of the fair, and
seemed to be going away without max

and said:
"My old woman died last night, and
I'm thinking some of buying a coffin
and having her buried. Got time to

He said he lived in Springwells, and
the undertaken "6ggeTed." The man

The undertaken discounted until ne

that he should drive down with the

A MARRIAGE AT THE MUZZLE OF A
PISTOL DECLARED VOID.

The daughter of highly respectable
family met her downfall through a
young medical student. Her friends
impOrtuned him to marry her, but he re-
fused on the ground that she was a
Roman Catholic. His father died when
he was a child aud left him property
amounting to $4,000, on the ground
that he should not marry Catholic.
Regardless of his protests the girls
friends took the pair to priests house
and the marriage ceremony was per-
formed, pistol being held at the bride
grOOm's head to persuade him to say
Eyes at the proper time. He brought
suit recently in the ChanceTy Court to
have the marriage declared void. The
case was tried privately, and the deci-
sion was in the young mans favor on
the ground that marriage to be legal
must be with the consent of both par
ties.-TOrOntO Special.

APEEHIsroR1o A MOUND.
Opened by an EthnoIogIst In Kanawha
County,


County,
The Charleston Call has the following
interesting account of the opening of q
big mound in Kanawha county: Pro-
fessOr Norris, the ethnOlOgist, who has
been examining the mounds in this
section for several months, the other
day opened the big mound on Colonel
b. II. Smiths farm six OF eight miles be.
low here. This is the largest mound in
the valley, and proved rich store house.
The mound is fifty feet high, and they
dug down to the bottom. 1t was evil
dent the burial place of a noted chief,
who had been inferred with unusual
hOnOTs. At the bottom they found the
bones of a human being measuring
seven feet in length and nineteen
inches across the shoulders. He was
lying fiat, and at either side, lying at an
angle of about forty-fiye degrees, with
their feet pointed towards their chief,
were other men-On one side two and
on the other three. At the head of the
chief lay another man, with his hands
extended before him, bearing two brace
lets of copper. On each side of the
chiefs wrists were six copper bracelets,
while looking glass of mica lay at his
shoulder, and his gOTget of copper rest
ed on his breast. Four copper brace
lets were under his head, with an arrow
in the center. A house twelve feet in
diameter and ten feet high, with a
ridge-pOle one foot in diameter, had been
erected over them, and the whole cover
ed by the dirt that formed the mound.
Each of the men buried there had been
inclOsed in a bark coffin.

show that one Democrat in every three
in Philadelphia did not exercise the
right of suffrage on Tuesday in 1880,
the Democratic vote of the city was up,

5000. Estimating the natural percent
