A DESPATCH says that at the con-
ference at Washington yesterday q re.
port from Delaware did not favor the
mitigation Of the severity Of the whip

was rarely found necessary to admins

in favor of or against the whipping

fer that the person who made that re-
port does not attend the whippings at
New Castle very regularly. If he did
he would find that some of the victims
have been whipped three and -four
times, and that the majority Of the
victims have before Rugged the post and

Tho recent disastrous colltsion OF

Of Engineer Rushton and the manning
OF several other railroad employees,
though no doubt rightly traced to and
blamed on the absent dispatcher Ever

road Company for . double track road
down the State. This Is said to be not
the first accident that has occurred at
this curve, and rumor has 1t that even
since there was . narrow escape from .
similar accident. Curves are always
the most dangerous places on railroads,
and should be watched with double
care. No doubt the Railroad Company
do all in its power to prevent acci-
dents, but even when this is done they
will occur. Every provision seems to
have been made by the company to
guard tho safety of property and lives
In transit, but the wilful absence Of a
sentinel from his pest of duty ut the
very moment when he should have
been at hls post, is something the COM
pany could not guard we'll against.
But, however, much blame may be at
tached to the missing dispatcher OF
trains, the primitive and outlying cause
of the accident lies away back beyond
this.
The Delaware Railroad is an over
worked road with its present single

Mark Twain visited Rochester. N
H., lately, and delivered one of his
humorous lectures to a large audi.
ence. Indeed, the inhabitants Of the
flower city are reported to have
Laughed till the tears rolled down
their cheeks" Speaking Of the flow
er city reminds as of curious coin
cidence. Many years ago Rochester
was one of the largest milling centres
in New York State, and because OF
its extensive business and wide-spl cad
reputation, received the cognomen
OF "The Flour City," James Wick,
known as the Veteran Scotsman Of
America. selected Rochester as his
home, and there established the
mammoth business which has made
his name familiar in almost every
household in this country. Others,
encouraged by his success, also Sc
lected Rochester as a base for their
operations, until now the city enjoys
the reputation of being the largest
foacer- producing centre in America.
Perhaps, the greatest secret of James
Vick's success was his honest dealing
and the excellent quality OF bis seeds;
and still another explanation of it
lay in the popularity enjoyed by his
very practical and always beautiful
seed catalogue. Vick's Floral Guide.
The 1885 number of this valuable
book has just come to hand, with its
bright flower frontispiece. elegant
Autographed cover, and LOCO or

MONEY rs TIGHT

We doubt very much if as "hard
times in money matters has ever
been experienced in this community
as We have had for the past six weeks.
1t is a common thing for people to
complain that money is slight" but
few if any of our citizens have ever,
(even daring war times,) been as
hard pressed to raise little cash as
they have this winter. There are a
variety of causes that may have led
to this condition of affairs, such as
overflow, drouth, ETC., but we are of
the opinion that our one crop system
has had more to do with it than any
other two causes combined. 1t is the
custom of our farming community to
60 head over ears into debt for al
most everything that they consume.
risking their chance to pay for it all
on one single marketable crop. That
they have not sooner felt the woeful
effects of this system is more to be
attributed to the kindness of Provi-
dence and the wonderful fertility of
our soil and climate, which renders
the return for their labor almost GER
tain, than to say good management
on their part. The same system
carried on in any other quarter of
the globe would meet with the same
dlreful result in less time than it has
been in overtaking our farmers. As
the farming community is the main
stay of manufactures, artisan and
profession, it is a natural result that
they should all be affected when the
soil fails to respond to the husband
mans labor What has been done
cannot be helped, but, with the les
sons OF the past before them, in the |
bright ana beautiful days OF a New |
Year, let our farmers recognize their
and resolve to avoid them
in the future. Let eoery farmer. |
without exception, determine that he |
will raise at least t,oo auxiliary crops,
IN addition 10 corn and cotton, during
the year 1885. The "book farmers"
tell US this is The way they manage
to make farming pay, and we have
noticed that these same shook farm
ers" are the only ones that grow
richer and richer year by year. while
Dur so called practical" farmers meet
with some sort OF reverse about every
second season.
