Mortimer Whitehead gave History of the Grange" and told in a very in- teresting manner what it has done and what it is doing for the farmers of the country.
 MT Pardee, New Eug'a Id commis- sioner for the New Orleans exposition, talked for half au hour about the great show.
 Prof Brewer, J. B, Olcott and Mrs Isabella Beecher Hooker spoke on sani- tary matters The old mosaic law Is the best sanitary code and ought to be observed in spirit as religiously by Christians as by Jews. The farmer pursues the most healthful calling as shown ill some Massachusetts tables ex- hibiting that for a period of 28 year the average age of farmers dying over 20 years old was G5 years, or l4 years older than the average of the communi- ty. Farmers wives on tue contrary art uot so long lived and usually die before their husbands. Scrupulous cleanli- ness in every particular is the only saf, rule. No filth of any sort should b, allowed to accumulate, for the micro scopic germs arising from this sourcc are the direct cause of all contagiou, diseases and epidemics, from which % per cent or the people of Connecticut lie every year
 J. NJ. Hubbard presented carefully prepared paper on the "Ownership ol Land" which every land owner should read, and having read 1t can hardly fail to be filed with new sense of the dig nity aud responsibility of his position.
 It was the opinion of the convention expressed by debate and resolutions, that the Storrs school must be main tained and tbat it was unnecessary and useless to look for better location than the present one at Mansfield. In speak ing on this subject Prof Brewer made the suitable remark that there is very small class of people who work together for the advancemant of public enter prises and very large class who do nothing but grumble because things are not done in some other way.
 There was fine display of apples. fruit, grain and vegetables and much valuable information was drawn out in the discussions of fruit culture.
 That the entire program, and in fact every hour of the whole three days was of practical interest to every one pres ent, was shown by the large attendance, the close attention paid to the exercises and willing .rss tO shorten al.u veu forego the dinner hour that not sin gle crumb of information might be lost.
 The farmers who were not present never will know what they lost. but if any want more complete report they will find it in the New Eng'and Home stead for Dec. 20 and 27. s. A. EDDY.

A Remedy for Hog Cholera.

The Hartford Times mentions the fol- lowing remedy for the cure of hog chol- era: "The remedy is very simple-and it is said to be very effective. Give the swine plenty of charcoal. Char a post and nail it in the pen where they can get at it. They will gnaw and eat il almost voraciously. It acts as an anti septic-a cleansing and purifying sub stance in the animals stomach. A very little sulphur mixed with tho food is also found to be beneficial. But the charcoal is the main remedy; and every body can try it.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
 THE NEWS is conducted on the plan ,f giving each subscriber value received or their money. We endeavour to make
 he NEWS itSelf worth the subscription rice, instead of neglecting the paper md then giving the subscribers some little premium to keep them good na- tured.
 We are aware that many papers offer .lubbing rates with other papers and magazines. On the surface this appears to be an inducement, and subscriber naturally thinks it is clear gain to him. Tn a majority of cases instead of being an ldvantage it is really disadvantage, for it should be understood that 1t requires much tune in every newspaper office to keep the accounts correctly, where even 1. limited number avail themselves of .lubbing rates, and most editors of country papers have to keep their own books, and it will be readily seen that If considerable portion of the editors lme is occupied in keeping accounts he .annot devote as much time to the paper or keep it up to the standard, he other wise would.
 We want to place our subscribers on ln equal footing with the subscribers to ,ther county papers, and we now think we can. The problem with us has been now to give our subscribers the benefit If clubbing rates without keeping &C., counts with so many different publish ITS, and thus consuming time that should je devoted to the paper. We have solv- d the problem and here is the explain ,tion. It is easier to keep an account f3000 items with one subscription agen- Y than to keep an account of one item with 5000 different publishers. Egles- 5on's subscription agency at Falls Vil- Iage, formerly Deans club agency) can furnish 5000 different periodicals at club rates to single subscribers, subscriptions co commence at any time. Those sub scribers to the NEWS, who wish to obtain tt reduction, almost any paper, maga- zine or book published, will find it to their advantage to subscribe for papers or magazines through Egleston's sub- .scription agency, or purchase books from said agency, and they can also club the NEWS with 5000 different periodicals by addressing said agency, who will furnish price-hst on application.

alliance with the Democratic party.

ricy throughout the country. They real.
lied that the campaign Of 1851 involved
National issues ,,ot tho highest moment,
and that Ohio In October, was an outpost
OF great Importance. Deceived, betrayed,
indignant, the Republican brewers and
.beer.sellers and those who sympathized
with them swing back into limo and con.
tribut their share to tho redemption Of
the State. This the returns clearly show.
This happened III spite Of tho efforts OF
Mr.. Carl schurz, who made love to the
Germans in their mother tongue and har.
angucd them in the name OF personal
liberty" and independence" in politics.
The mon engaged in the liquor trade
have resolved that tho liquor question Is
not properly political issue, and they
are once more casting their ballots 10 give
expression to their political principles.
This is IN evidence Of returning wisdom.
There is nothing more certain than that an
alliance between the liquor interest and
any party on the liquor issue, will raise up
an opposition that will rout the party that
goes into the alliance, and with 1t the
liquor interest. II 1t had appeared once
more in Ohio tina. the brewers and beer.
sellers were acting as body with the
Democratic party, the Republicans OF Ohio
would have made straight-out prohibl.
ton fight, and the result Of that conflict Is
not doubtful. Set ~ e
prohibitionists may regret that the al
lance was broken, but men who regard
the introduction Of the beer question into
politics us merely nischievous will look
with satisfaction on the changed condi'
tons. It is worthy oiremark that there
are Prohibitionists who take tho same
view, who believe that the liquor question
onght to be kept out Of politics, and who
are throwing their influence on that side
The less practical md more impulsive will
continue to so tho other way, giving aid
and encouragement to the Democratic par.
ty with every step they take. They fill
the place OF the brewers and beer-selles
as the present allies Of the Democratic
party.
