1t is gratifying to note the increas-
ing general interest in the series of
Farmers Institutes to be held during
the winter under the law providing
therefor, enacted at the last legislative
session. The entire list of thirty
points at which Institutes will be held
has been made out, with Hudson at
the head, where the first Institute
will be held, November oath and 25th.
The last on the list will be held March
25th and Goth, 1886, at Brandon. The
one announced for MenOmonie occurs
March 18th and 18th, 1886, and all
farmers in the eastern part of Pierce
county who cannot attend the one to
be held at Hudson should try to attend
the MenOmonie Institute to be held in
March. The revised list of speakers
who will address the Institute at Hud-
son contains the following names
Professors Henry and Armsby, of the
State University Experimental Farm,
Hon. Hiram Smith, of ShebOygan Falls,
w. d. Hoard, of Fort Atkinson, Hon
A. A. Arnold, of Galesville, President
of the State Agricultural Society, Ma
ior G. II. Williams, of BaraboO, Hon.
j. NJ. Smith, of Green Bay, j. c.
Bartholf, of Milton, ana A. G.. futile,
of Baraboo. Besides the thirty points
named at which Institutes are to be
held many other places have applied
for meetings of this kind, but as those
already announced will exhaust the
appropriation made therefor others
will be compelled to wait till another
year. w. IL. Morrison, Superintend-
ent of Institutes, is very enthusiastic
over the outlook for these gatherings
and will put forth his best efforts to
make them q success efforts in which
he will be warmly seconded by the
leading agriculturists of the State.
Farmers these meetings are yours
provided by public funds for your es-
pecial benefit and will prove adyant-
ageous to degree corresponding with
the interest which you manifest in
them We therefore urge upon you
the Importance of making the most of
the opportunities afforded you through
the medium of these Institutes for
gaining information that cannot fail
to be of service in your vocation.

Mr.. Howells' annual farce has now
come to be expected as regular fea-
ture of the year, quite like Thanks
giving and Christmas. 1t will appear,
as usual, in the December Harper's,
and introduces again our old friends
of 1.-The Sleeping Car" "The Regis

Garroters' is the title, and it actually
takes liberties with Boston Common.
This awful fact lends confirmation to
the rumOr that Mr. Howells intends

Certainly no one would be allowed to
continue existence in Boston after
speaking trihlngly of the sacred

Ferdinand Ward, who fleeced Gen.
Grant out of large sums of money, is
now serving a term of ten years in
one of the New York States prisons.
He is at work in the department for
the manufacture of stoves, the State
receiving ffty-six cents day for his
labor. He has to put up with the
regulation prison fare, which is in
striking contrast with the sumptuous
style in which he lived while engaged
in robbing Grant and others.

The second annual celebration of
the Young Peoples Society of Christ
ian Endeavor of this place occurred
last Sunday evening at the Congrega-
tional church, and was very well
attended. The President-Mr. Orrin
Libby, Miss Darnell, and Miss Rose
Cheney delivered addresses, and Mr..
Geo. b. Merrick read paper giving
history of the Society from its rise
in Portland, Me-, to the present time.
The selections by the choir were very
well rendered indeed, particularly an
arrangement of the well-known hymn,
Sweet Bye and Bye" in which the
excellent training and natural ability
of the singers showed to very good
advantage. This Society, which in
cludes all denominations, is for the
purpose of giving the young Christian
not necessarily a church membeI,
however-a chance to help in the
good work in his own way, and in the
company of other young people. 1t is
for the purpose of utilizing the float
ing Christianity of which there is so
much among the young folks outside
of the Church-a kind of halfway
house, where those who find the road
from conversion to membership too
long can rest and gather strength
from congenial companionship; and
as there are these Societies in all
denominations, everyone has chance
to join the good work.
