Farmers have Just finished planting
corn, and mostly potatoes. The low
muck land is of late years being plant
ed somewhat extensively to corn, and
this spring it has been so full of water
that it has been impossible to cultivate it
with horses. Considerable corn has how
ever, been planted, and the hot, dry
weather of last week was Just what WAS
wanted to bring it forward.

The Great Bell Roland /!

Toll, Roland, toll!
High in st. Bavon's tower,
At midnight hour,
The great bell, Roland, spoke,
And all who slept in Ghent awoke.
What meant its iron strokeg
Why caught each man his blade?
Why the hot haste he made?
Why echoed every street
With tramp of thronging feet
All flying to the city's wall!
II was the call,
Known well to all,
That Freedom stood in peril OF some foe;
And even timid hearts grew bold,
Whenever Roland tolled,
And every hand sword could hold;
For men
Were patriots then,
Three hundred years ago.
Toll, Roland, TOLL
Bell never yet was hung,
Between whose lips there swung
SO true and brave a tonguel
If men be patriots still,
Al thy first sound
True hearts will bound,
Great souls will thrill;
Then toll and wake the test
On each mans breast,
And let him stand confessed.
Toll, Roland, toll!
Not in st. Bavon's tower.
At midnight hour
Nor by the Scheldt, nor far of Zuyder. Zee
But here, this side the sea
And here in broad, bright day!
Toll, Roland, TOLL

The coinage committee has decided to
repOrt favorably Congressman Lacy's bill
to prohibit the issue Of any more treas
ury notes Of smaller denomination
than five dollars, and to substitute
In their place silver certificates, in
modified form. The bill originally
provided that when the amount of
standard silver dollars in the tire asury now
held for the redemption of silver certificates
OF small denomination exceeded $40, ,000, 900,
the Secretary of the Treasury should be au-
thorixed to stop the coinage of the standard
dollar while the excess continued. The
Democrats in the committee and Belford,
the Colorado statesman, struck out this pro-
vision to oblige the bonanza men.

The intelligent and energetic action Of
the authorities when the foot and mouth
disease made its appearance in this county
cannot be too highly commended. The dan
ger Was great that the disease might spread
through the county, and farther, and that
serious loss would be entailed upon the
farming population. The measures of the
authorities, however, have proved effective,
and the disorder has been confined to very
narrow limits, and the number of cattle af-
fected has been very small. Under the pre-
cautions yet to be taken, the danger of re-
appearance of the disease will be very
slight, and in all probability we have seen
the last of it unless it is again imported.
