THE COMMENCEMENT CONCERT.
The commencement concert promises
to be one of the best that has ever been
given. Miss Ella Earle, the soprano So
lOist, is already well known to the peo-
pie of Middlebury. She has added great
ly to her reputation within the past year
or two and is now considered to be one
of New Iork's first soprano singers.
The Ruggles street church quartet is
one of the best male quartet in Boston.
and will prove a great addition to the
single tenor whom it has been the GUS
tom to engage. The orchestra. the
Blaisdell club of Concord. n. H., is the
same one that was here last year. and it
so fully commended itself at that time
that no praise of ours is needed. We
feel sure that all of our townspcople
who are lovers of good music will enjoy
the rare treat which is to be given them.
The tickets are now on sale at Hama
ford's drug store.

Last spring the University of Vermont
hired one w. A. Deering, formerly prin-
cipal of the Essex (Vt.) classical insti-
tute, and made him secretary of the
faculty." His business is to do the out
side work of the faculty-in other words,
to keep watch of the fitting schools and
induce as many of their graduates as
possible to 60 to Burlington for their col
lege education. This is all legitimate.
But reports indicate that Mr.. Deering is
not the right kind of man to represent so
honorable body as the University fac
ulty. We have it on excellent authority
that he has told what is not truthful re-
garding Middlebury college on his visits
to schools in the south part of the State.
At one place it is said he represented
that the board obtained by the students
at the clearinghouse was not what it
should be. Such statements we know to
be false. The students buy whatever they
choose, so that if they fail in being well
and satisfactorily fed it is their own
fault. The preceding is only one of the
senseless tales he bears, but we do not
propose to rehearse more of them. His
proceedings can only harm the college
in whose employ he is; and they will
not injure others. The only object we
haye in referring to the matter is that the

OLIVER JOHNSON of New Y ork, veter-

writes a sensible letter to the New York
Tribune regarding the Chicago nomina-
tions. He says that to elect President
of the United States requires the cooper
alton of body of men so vast that the
personal preferences of all cannot be
gratified. He understands that to vote
for candidate is to vote for that candi-
tate's party. He is, therefore, for Blaine
as against any Democrat that can be
named, although Mr.. Blaine was not his
first choice.

A Good Greed for Farmers.

AZ years ago, when he was editor of the
| Indiana Farmer and Gardener 1t has been

1--WE believe in small farms and thorough
cultivation.
1--WE believe that the soil loves to eat, as
well as its owner, and ought, therefore, to be
MANFRED
1--WE believe in large crops which leave the
land better than they found it-making both
the farmer and the farm rich at once.
"We believe in going to the bottom of
things and, therefore, in deep blowing, and
enough of it. All the better if with subsoil

eve believe that,every farm should own
good farmer.
"We believe that the best fertilizer of any
soil, is a spirit ofindustry, enterprise, and in
telligence-without this, lime and gypsum,
bones and green manure. mari and guano
will be of little use.
"We believe in good fences, good barns,
good farmhouse good stock, good orchards,
and good children enough to gather the fruit.
1--WE believe in clean kitchen, a neat wife
in it, spinning.piano, a clean cupboard, a
clean dairy, and clean conscience.
1--WE firmly disbeleve in farmers that will
not improve; in farms that grow poorer
every year insstarving cattle; in farmers
boys turning into clerks and merchants !;
in farmers daughters unwilling to work, and
in all farmers ashamed of their vocation, or
who drink whisky till honest people are
ashamed of them"
We believe that to ask mans advice is
not STOPPING, but of much benefit.

We do not believe that a mans own ideas
OF farming are always sure to be right, and
that he can not profit by the experience of

science of farming.
We do not believe making money is the

No.7

At the time have been writing of books,
periodicals, newspapers, and in fact all read
ing matter was scarce and hard to get, as
compared with the present day. There were
very few post offices in the country. A short
time before my recollection Northern Har-
ford had no nearer place within our own
State to deposit or receive their correspond
ence with distant friends than Bel Air. I
think there was post office at that time at
Peach Bottom, York county, Pa. which was
nearer for those living near the Pennsylvania
line. When there was an Office established in
Dublin it was great relief 10 the people of
| the district. Almost the only paper knew
any thing about in childhood was the Har-
ford Republican, edited by Mr.. Bouldin, and
| carried around to the subscribers by Mr..
Philip Coale. His appearance was one of
| the important events of the time. How diff
ferent from the present day, when almost
every one can have more papers and period
icals than they can read, and every house
whose inmates are at all educated has more
| or less ofa library, and weekly correspond
ence with friends as far west as the Missis-
sippi, as far South as Florida, and as far
North and East as the great lakes and Maine

in the amount and quality of reading matter

that the next fifty years may witness as much
improvement as the last fifty has done, in Har
ford, my native county, and not only there,
but every where throughout the length and
breadth of the land.

and it was long and hard journey to take.
well recollect a female relative that had
made the journey on horseback to see her
friends, and have heard of many families
that removed from this section to the
western part of Ohio in wagons, thus taking
their horses and household goods with them.
Now short time by rail is sufficient to make
the trip from ocean to ocean. Such is the
age OF progression and science, and fifty
years hence some one of my age, looking
back over their childhood, will perhaps think
and say what strange habits and customs the
people had, fifty years ago.

spend the evening he decided that nobody
had prettier wife or tidier home than his
friend Tom Carter.
Wise little Nellie having gained possession
of the matrimonial field, took good care to
keep it until Tom was quite cured of his
careless habits.
Sometimes he seemed threatened with u
relapse, but Nellie instead of scolding only
had quietly to bring something of her own
and lay it beside whatever he had tossed
down, and it was sure to be put away imme-
diately, for Tom seldom failed to take the
hint.
And if some other little woman, as tidy and
clean as Nellie takes a hint also, this story
will have served its purpose.

Improvement in Maryland Live Stock.

From the spring report of the Department
OF Agriculture, the following extracts are
taken relative to live stock in Maryland:
Since thellas census Maryland has in
creased her live stock in numbers but SLOWLY.
yet the value OF the same has been increased
by not less than 25 per cent. The introduce
ton in large numbers of superior-bred stock
into the State during the last five years has
greatly improved the common stock, and
added very much to the value of the whole
Hogs, horses and cattle have all been gener-
ally improved. Maryland can boast of as
fine Berkshire, Essex, Suffolk, Poland China
and other improved breeds of swine as are to
be found on this globe.
We have large number of Jersey cattle,
some ofwhich were obtained at the highest
prices ever paid in any country for JERSEYS.
We have also in this State herds of splendid
Short Horn, Hereford, Devon, Holstein, Ayr
shire, Dutch Friesan and Angus Aberdeen
the last being rather novel breed of beef
cattle, but as such very famous in Europe.
The thoroughbred racer, trotter and draft
horse, with the Percheron, have added much
to the value of horses and stimulated the
rearing of the different breeds, until the horses
of this State have gained reputation that
places them upon an enviable plane.
There has been considerable falling off in
the number OF oxen, because our farmers
labor under the idea-a false one-that our
climate does not suit them as work-beasts.
Mich cows have increased in number and
also in value, owing to the increasing desire
of farmers to own fine cows and encourage
union diaries, creameries etc. Milk and but.
ter is becoming a leading industry in our
State. The farmer finds there is money in
it.
Sheep have increased OF late, not so much
in numbers as in quality and prices, owing
to the improved breeds that have been
brought into the various parts of the State
No country is more admirably adapted to
sheep-raising than Maryland, yet the farmer
is deferred from raising them or keeping
them, even for short time, from the fear Of
their destruction or great injury by worthless
dogs, whose name is legion, there being far
more dogs in the State than there are sheep.
Our tlocks have been and are still most
singularly free from the scab, foot-rot and
other infectious or contagious diseases so
extensive as plaques of other States.
