Thomas Baker, of Lancaster county,
who was appointed To read au essay on
Farmers Holidays" made but brief
alusion to them, saying that every GLASS
of people have their holidays, on which
they abstain from their usual avocations,
Strength of body and activity of mind
| alike require these seasons of relaxation
the far ners' special holidays arc few
consisting of social gatherings, farmers
club meetings and institutes like this, at
all of which he believed great good was
done. Mr.. Baker then proceeded to discuss
at some length the system of rotation of
crops, and the application Of fertilizers to
| the soil,

THERE seems to be no two opinions
about the Republican platform adopted at
Chicago. 1t is long, pretentious aud
empty document, full of claptrap aud with
not enough veneering to deceive cheap
demagogue. The Philadelphia Tines
sizes it up very we'll when 1t says it is
the most extraordinary combination of
meaningless platitude and rank demagogy
with which any respectable party ever
entered q national campaign"

The Columbus club of the American
assooiation,ta Ia very fine team, is playing
the Lancaster to day at McGrann's park.
VIM. Hoover has been suspended aud
will probably be expelled as an Eastern
league umpire for striking tho treasurer
OF the Domestic club IN Newark on the
field yesterday. Fog Horn " Bradley
will succeed him.
John King umpired several Innings Of
the York game yesterday, but tho visitors
objected on the ground that he was incOm-
petent. He was taken out and Smith, Of
the Lancaster, finished TO the satisfaction
of all.
The York papers are very angry this
morning at their club, and the base ball
editor Of the Daily is OItspoken in regard
to its members. lie says that the players
made asses of themselves in the field here
aud did not try TO win as they should have
done. On their return homo they had
the assurance TO lay the blame on the um
pire. Yesterday the Daily was anIious
that the Ironsides and l. Incaster should
play and they would then challenge the
winner. After yesterdays miserable
showing it seems like pity for any good
club TO waste time on club like York.
The Lancasters will likely have to play
their schedule out with them, but they
would not draw a dozen people to the
park on another visit. The nine plays like
amateurs, and they are sadly in need of a
manager

The New York Word having recently
published lot of wood cut portraits of
well known young ladies', ornaments to the
fashionable society of that city, the
families who have thus been brought into
publicity are indignant, aud there are
threats Of legal proceedings, etc. Their
Investigations have discovered that the
photographs from which they were made
were purloiued from noted gallery and
the whole affair has caused scandalOus
sensation. Nothing could be more repug- =
nant to u lady Of refinement than to see
what purports to be portrait of her thus
paraded and nothing could be more
libellous to it's subject than the ordinary
newspaper wood cut. The perpetrators of

some cases the pictorial ageacies use
names, portraits, &c, not only without
the consent OF those whom they maltreat,
but despite their most emphatic and in

Governor Pattisou again.

Governor PattisOn again arose and said
that no who serves himself well, serves
his state best. There are many farmers
who in their quiet homes, have noble and
valuable thoughts, but too often these
thoughts never get outside their quiet
homes. Now, these thoughts should be
put on record, that the world may have
the use Of them. He urged farmers to
put their thoughts on paper, In the form
of question or otherwise and send them
to the state board of agriculture, through
which channel they may be published, II
worth publication The state board OF
agriculture meets next Wednesday and
Thursday at Lock Haven.
Henry NJ. Engle appealed to members
of tho institute to connect themselves
with the agricultural socl clety andto attend
its monthly meeting.
Judge Livingston being called on, said
he would be pleased to make speech, but
was suffering severely from neuralgia
Alluding to Governor Pattison's remarks,
Judge Livingston thought II would bo
better for farmers to put their thoughts
on paper and present them TO the local
society before presenting them TO the
state board.
