We thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast sent
Our party such President;
Thro' heat and cold, Oh Lord, we stand
In every quarter OF the land,
With mouths uplifted, if mayhap
Our lips may touch official pap,
And thankful are we that we may
Stand waiting thus day after day.
We do our duty by the state.
We serve who only stand and wait.
Some bloody tyrant, wild and rude.
Might give ''innocuous desuetude"
To all our hopes and all our fears,
BY cutting off our heads and ears;
Therefore, we're thankful to be blest
With one who lets us wait at rest.
We thank Thee for the mugwamps too.
Those noble patriots, leal and true,
Who get the jobs we want to ell
And dabble in the public till.
We thank Thee for the great reform
Which DER the country like storm
Has swept with strong, resistless tide
And left us Democrats outside.
To wage ceaseless, payless strife
With dull affairs of private life.
We thank Thee for all these, Oh Lord
Because it is our best reward;
TITS noble, after all our tolls,
To yield to others all the spoilsi
TITS noble! aye, and that's enough
Ills noble, but it o p. d. rough

rneImpor,anee or Turuips.

Thomas ID. Baird, of Kentucky, con-
tributes the following to Cur Country
Home on this subject The turnip crop
is not valued by the farmer so much as
it should be. There is no crop put
into the ground that pays better than
the turnip for the time and expense in
volved. Nor is there any other stock
feed that can be proGuced in such great
abundance, with such little exertion,
and in so short time as this crop. All
kinds Of stock relish turnips and thrive
upon them when in combination with
hay. Experience proves that stock arc
healthier and more vigorous when pleu-
tifully fed on a mixed feed Of succulsnt
and farinaccous food, than on farina-
ceous food alone.
This crop is put in when the hurry
ing season is over, and it lengthens out
the corn, oats, and hay-a most impor-
tant matter with those who do not raise
full supply of these crops. Nor is
the value Of the turnip crop confined to
the roots, but the tops make 0 fine pas
ture for sheep. In fact, have seen
sheep almost kept through the wintee
on turnips. Turnips sown early, OF :
topped variety, make an excellent
manure for wheat if turned under two
or three weeks before sowing. The
decayiDg tops furnish an abundance Of
plsnt-food for the young wheat.
The crop delights in cool, moist, and
rather heavy soil. Soils entirely new
are best of all. Having abundance Of
ashes and vegetable mould, they produce
the sweetest roots. Where new land
cannot be had, old land we'll MANFRED

be worm. eaten and stronger in taste.
August is the most usual time Tor
sowing. As the ground is generally
dry at this season it is the common
practice to SOW just before q rain,
which is the worst time, for the rain
forms a crust on the top Of the soil and
binders the young plants from coming
up well, so that they do not grow
thrifty, giving the weeds q start over
them, and the flea better chance to
dc1troy the crop. The soil should be

cident occurred this morning on the
Nickel Plate railroad near this place.
A west-bound express train ran into
an excursion train from Erie. Twelve
persons are reported killed and fourteen
wounded.
Lqfer.-The accident seems to have
been caused by a misunderstanding of
telegraphic orders. The collision was
between a Niagara Falls excursion
train on the Nickel.Plste road from
Erie, under the management of j. W.
Batter, excursion agent, and a local
freight train. 1t occurred in cut on a

saved themselves by jumping.
The excursion train consisted of
one baggage-car, one smoker, and
eleven coaches. Only those ii the
smoker were hurt, it being completely
telescoped by the baggage-sar. Only a
partial list Of the names Of the killed
can be made at present. Thirteen are

are from Erie or places in its vicinity
in Western Pennsylvania and New
