Proposed Convention of Farmers,

The Baltimore County Agricultural Socie-
ty has started project for the organization
ola convention of farmers of Hartford Balti-
more, Howard and Anne Arundel counties,
to be held annually in Baltimore city, for the
discussion of matters relating to modes of
farming and the general welfare of the agri-
cultural community of the State. The vari-
GUS agricultural organizations in the terrific
ry named have been requested to interest
themselves in the matter. The Hartford coun-
ty Agricultural Society on Monday appoin-
ted a committeeto cooperate with the Balti-
more county society, and representation of
the society will doubtless attend the conven-
ton. The Deer Creek Farmers Club, which
has for many years been active and thorough
ly wide awake in everything that would tend
to advance the interests of farmers, should
also send delegation.
For the last dozen years Montgomery
county has annually held convention ofthe
farmers, who meet to debate local questions
affecting the agricultural community, the best
methods of farming, crops, &C., and to hear
short addresses and practical papers on
various subjects bearing directly on the far
mer's everyday life.
A great drawback to agricultural interests
everywhere has been the want of Incorporation
among farmers. The proposed convention
will therefore have good effect in that di-
rection, by bringing together some of the
most intelligent practical farmers ofthe State
and be nucleus for more wide.s spread and
active cooperation among those engaged in q
common pursuit. Much advantage, besides
may pc expected to grow out of the discus.
sion that will take place.
All the farmers ofthe counties named are
invitedto attend the convention, and no one
need therefore feel excluded because he does
not belong to any agricultural organization
in the county.

The Protection of Labor.

We are indebted to Senator Allen for a
copy of the bill reported to the Legislature
by the select committee on Labor, for the pro.
lection of laborcrs in factories and mnnufac-
turing establishments.
The second section absolutely prohibits
the employment of children under ten years
ofage in any factory or manufacturing cs-
Enlistment 1t also provides that no child
under the age of sixteen years and no woman
shall be employed in any such establishment
more than specified number of hours in any
one day, and that a definite, specified time
shall be allowed them for rest and dinner.
The hours are left blank, to be filled in by
the Legislature. Another clause prohibits
the employment of women or children for
cleaning any part of the gearing of any mill
or factory worked by water or steam, while
the same is motion.
The third section declares q violation of
the law to be misdemeanor, and imposes a
fine of $3.50 for each offence.
The proposed lay was recommended by
the Governor, and is in pursuance OF the
Democratic platform which declares the pur-
pose of the party TO enact laws for the protec-
ton oflabor A law of some kind is needed,
not only for the protection of weak women
and helpless children from the eXactlons of
hard task masters, but from the cruelty of
husbands and parents as well. No one who
has ever seen Il crowd of wan sickly looking
women and children issuing from a factory,
at the close of their days work can doubt the
necessity of atfording them some measure of
protection. In many cases while the women
and children are Mt work the head the house,
who ought to he providing for their support,
spends his days in dlencss and dissipation,
living ON the proceeds of the grinding toll
ofhis wife and little children, The children
grow up ignorant and meducated, with
dwarfed bodies and vacant minds, to pcrpetu.
ate an ever increasing class like themselves.
Something ought to be done for them, and
we believe there is wisdom enough in the
Legislature to evolve law which, while il
will protect the helpless, will at the same
time work no injustice to employers.

LlVEZEY. AT her home, near Churchyille
on Wednesday, January 30lh, 1884, PRISCILLA
LlVEZEY, widow of Jacob Liyczey, aged z
years.
Our dear father and mother have gone and lief
our home.
Their busy hands are folded
Upon their quiet breast;
bounding pulse and throbbng heart
Forever laid at rest.
Their frames once racked with suffering
No pain or anguish know;
Gods peace upon the sleeping brow,
Light in calm reposc.
And now in Gods own glory,
All pain and suffering DER;
They stand in raiment spotless,
Upon the heavenly shore.
Their lives are lives eternal,
Where grief and trouble cease;
Forever with the Lord they dwell,
And all is perfect peace.
Our hearts are aching at our loss
And tears of anguish flow,
But God who sends such trials here,
viii sanctify the blow.
And by and by, in His good time,
When faith is lost in sight,
Wen see the love that gave and took.
lie doeth all things right.

NOuINA-
philadelphia Times, Nav rs.
West Spruce street has sensation OF
Its own. Lemuel H. Davis, an elderly
and very wealthy resident of Riverton,
n. j., arrived in this city on Friday last,
and with his wife, Mary H, and two chill
dren, L. Howell and Bertha NJ. Davis,
took quarters st the Bingham House. he
came by way Of Old Point Comfort Va,
from Savannah, Ca, where he had been
spending the winter with his family.
On Saturday Mrs. Davis went with her
children to visit some relatives In CAM
den. On the same day Mr.. Davis APP
peared before her and accused her OF re-
moving the children from his authority.
The accusation was made with sufhclent
emphasis to induce Mrs. Davis, woman
Of 30, whose hair has turned gray In the
eight years since she was married in Cali
fOrnia, to seek protection from her hrst
cousin, Joseph 5. Patterson, of 1911 Spruce
street, well known in the iron trade. Mrs.
Davis was received with her children, but
without any clothing except that which
they wore. The rest, they allege, MI
Davis had retained.
Sunday night Mr.. Davis followed his
family and desired admittance with an
emphasis, which went so far as to threat
en- to remove the front wall of 1911 Spruce
street. He was denied an entrance, and
yesterday obtained writ of habeas cor
pus for the custody of his children, which
is returnable on Friday.
Mr.. Davis has. it is believed, returned
to RivertOn. According TO his wite's
statement, his emphasis toward her has
eliminated through degrees of perseeu-
ton to her employment in the South OF W
GTayson Mann, of Savannah, as her coun'
sci, who, in company with Theodore G.
Patterson, will attend to her interests in
