The Carnival, Trades Display, Military
and Civic Parade.

Preparations are nearly completed for the
grand parade here on Easter Monday, and 1t
will be the largest demonstration of the kind
ever witnessed in this section. All the mill
tary companies invited, except the Hagers-
town Light Infantry, have accepted invitations
to participate, and will be here. The Ha-
gerstown company is not well organized,
which is the cause of their declension. The
military feature of the procession will be a
grand one, and will be worth coming many
miles to witness. The trades display prom
Uses to be large. As will be seen by an article
elsewhere in this issue the business of West
minister is large and varied. Most of the
business men have signifed their intention of
participating, but all establishments should
be represented. The burlesque feature should
be made as large and amusing as possible,
and it is hoped that the young men in the
country will take part. They can get up their
own representations, and will be gladly well
coined by the committee. There will be a
costumer from Baltimore who will be at the
City Hotel, with suits to hire for the occasion
at so cents and up.
The citizens generally are requested by the
committee in charge to decorate their houses
on the day of the parade, and to clean up the
street in front of their premises. Some have
already done so, and by little effort the
town can be made to present nice appear
ance.
The special committee on Music has met
with good success in getting bands, and there
will not be less than ten in line, as advertised.
These bands will be the best i'll this section
of the country, including the celebrated Fifth
Regiment, and bands from Hagerstown,
Chambersburg, Hanover, Westminster, and
other points.

ly important to have the best seed. If
a seed is perfect in its development, 1t
is strong and full Of life. a plant
springing from such a seed will, under
proper circumstances, have strong
and healthy growth, and will produce
more grain and of better quality than
if it came from a weak and ill.grown
seed. A plant from the latter seed
will be weak and easily destroyed. 1t
has not the strength to resist the at
tacks Of insects, the effects of bad cul-
tivation, or too much wet or dry
weather. A vigorous plant from a
vigorous seed has power to overcome
difficulties and make more grain and of
better quality. A vigilant and intel
ligent selection of the best developed
seeds of any kind OF corn would in>
crease the corn product of Warren
county five per cent. This aggregate
would astonish any one. If the in.
crease thus secured were set apart and
sold, the proceeds would build the peo>
pie Of Warren county good macada>
mixed road into every quarter of the
county. The seed ought to be selected
while gathering, so as to secure per,
fectly developed specimens Of any
kind. The fttest only ought to SUR
vive in this matter. By a persistent
selection of the tittest the grain would
continue to improve in quantity and
quality until the highest point of per-
lection would be reached. That point
is not yet reached. This improvement
of the quantity and quality of the
grain would to some extent compensate
us for the loss in the exhaustion of our
soils. Look to it now. Don't consider
this matter of small Importance.
The five per cent. would add much to
our comforts, and remember that the
increase will be clear profit.

on account Of these dogs.

Oh aCCOuuU VI Cn0eo uUBo'
But it is bad enough, because this is
only very small part of the whole
damage which is inflicted upon the
public by worthless dogs, or rather
through the criminal neglect of the
owners of them, For if a man should
keep a wolf or other wild ferocious
beast and suffer it to 60 at large to
prey upon his neighbors every night he
would commit an offence for which he
would be amenable to the laws; and
it is equally wrong for him to keep a
dog and suffer it to become beast of
prey. There is no lawful reason why
a man may not keep wolf or a bear,
or tiger even, if he keeps it in secure
confinement. Society does not prohi-
bit this pleasure and qualification, and
a man may keep dog with equal pro-
priety if he will only prevent it from
injuring or destroying his neighbours
flock. But certainly every man should
be obliged to do this, and farmers who
suffer damage have clear right to in
sist upon it and to ask for sufficient
legislation to enforce it.
