have been continued wIil advantage tliroughou

Oranges OF the upper county. With the lea,r
possible hustle ample provision was made for
dinner and supper Of the 125 people who attended
the meeting.
AT the morning session there were given en-
eouraging reports from the different representa-
tives, showing general increase in numbers
and decided growth Of Grange sentiment.
At noon a recess was taken, aud the most sub.
stantial compliments were awarded thg cooks OF
number by hearty appetites. After this an
hour was pleasantly spent in conversation, or in
strolls by the bay shore.
Two O'Clock was named as the hour Of reas.
sembllng, IN "open session." but it was nearly
three p. m. before many Of the members could
be recalled from their walks IN the delightful
neighbOrhoOd. The meeting was opened with
music by the choir after which, for an hour.
William Dean, OF Newark, made one of his mosi
happy speeches. Several times he proposed to
stop but was requested to go on. He expound.
ed Grange methods, aud gave history OF Grangr
struggles aud Grange successes in the State with
so much junction that the audience was sorry
that any other business must prevent him from
occupying the afternoon. He showed how thai
before the legislation sought by the Grange, hon.
est manufacturers of phosphates had but poai
show for favor in this State. There was no way
for ths people to know the difference in values
ahd the lower priced article was quite apt to find
he largest sale though it might lack any real
merit.
In showing how one farmer may help another
nd how each may learn from another, he mar
ated an incident Of Henry Clay: During the

Clay could learn of the street Arabs OF " ,sh
