ST.. CLAIR mich }, August 22d.-Judge
Thurman and party arrived here at clock

convenienced by sea sickness, as the other
members of the party were.
Passing Marine City at midnight, the
dock was illuminated, and cannon and
human voices and steam whistles spoke a

At st. Clair rockets and Roman candles
were set off and the people cheered heart

Twenty-Five That the loss of life must

A DISGRACE TO HIS SECTION.

Just now the sensation in New
York City is over a South Carolina
farmer who went to that city in an
swer to a "green goods" advertise
ment. "Green goods" mean coun-
terfeit money. The farmer paid $500
in good money for $1,000 in counter
felt money, but the counterfeit was so
poorly made that it could not be used,
and the farmer had his "merchant"
arrested upon the charge Of larceny.
In his examination before the court
he testified that his name is Asbery
Hamilton Perkins, of Lancaster county,
SC, a farmer by profession. He
further testified that he, was a county
commissioner of Lancaster county and
had charge of the county bonds and
finances, but Notwithstanding his high
position at home, under the cross-ex-
animation of the astute New York
lawyers, he was made to acknowledge
himself to be,a "third:class rogue Of
the first magnitude"
We beg pardon of our reader for
having given space in our columns to
this matter, and, do SO, only for the
purpose Of warning our farmers, as we
have heretofore done, against paying
any attention to the hundreds of hum
bug advertisements with which the
mails and many of the newspapers of
the day are crowded..

H HOMESTEAD.

ST Our intelEigent:and esteemed CORES:
spondent "Orange," gives us some
resolutions adoptedin Texas on this
subject; and we theerfully give place
to them in our columns, for a fair and
free discussion should evoke truth.
This-is the farmers paper, and its
columns are ever open to the views
of our people, and especially on ques-
lions of such vital interest and inn
portance as, that of the homestead
law. AS "Orange" says, we very
widely dissent from his view on tbiS
question. We believe that it Ithe
prolific mother Of many and Hinous
evils. We sincerely believe that it is
to-day a mighty and monstrous curse
to the honest snd industrious poor
men of the State. We believe that it is
is indirect cause of placing thousands
and thousands of them in a condition
as pitiable as it is humiliating. We
want to see every honest, industrious
man, however humble and however
poor, recognized on his merit. If by
economy and hard work he has &C
cumulated a thousand dollars worth
of property, we do want to see his
| credit a little better than a loafer or a
vagabond. But we will have more to
say on this subject hereafter.

The conditions surrounding our
farmers are favorable to the repetition
of a grievous mistake from which
they have suffered greatly. Last
year was above the average crop year.
HENCE they are better supplied with
homemade supplies than is usual at
this season. In the tobacco belt the
deficiency in acreage planted has been
supplied in the prices obtained, par
ticularly for the better grades of the
leaf. We fear that our farmers, un-
mindful of the danger, will again
plunge into cotton and tobacco, to the
neglect of those supplies which they
a produce much more cheaply and
easily than they can buy them. And
then comes that worse han Egyptian
plague-the lien and mortgage.
Dear farmer friend, the mortgage
may cover your land, but it will not
improve it nor enrich it. It may en-
velop the humble home, but it will not
keep the wintry blasts from the SILVER
ing forms of wife and children-it
will not feed them nor educate them,
but it will impoverish them and en-
slave you. Beware of mortgages

e SNOW STORM.

The most terrific: snow storm of the
past thirty years visited the Northern
States since the publication Of the last
issue of The PRoGREssIvE FARMER.
Under date of January 2Sth, tele-
grams from the States Of Maine, New
Hampshire, New York and Pennsyl
Vania were received giving detailed
ACCOUNTS of the storms doings. One
dispatch sent out from New York,
says: -.'.' st..
"Reports from Reading tonight N
dictate that the storm has been the
worst for thirty years, and the rail
roads have never experienced more
terrible times. On the Waikiki Val
ley Railroad On. ~ near Waikiki vii
lage, the snow is piled up in cuts to
the depth of fifteen feet. The last
passenger train to get to that village
arrived there Thursday evening, and
has remained there ever since. The
Ulster county express, on the New
York, Susquehanna & Western Rail
road, which left Middletown Thurs
day morning, had reached Unionville,
thirteen miles distant, this afternoon,
and a relief train sent that evening had
made only eight miles.
"In Massachusetts,, at Great Bar
rington, an order was issued this
morning that no trains would be run
on the Massachusetts branch of the
Housatonic road until further orders.
There is a drift two miles south of
Great harrington, eight rods long and
fifteen feet deep. A dispatch from
Highland Light, Mass, says no clear
water car be seer in Cape Cod Bay,

freeze the bay solid from Long Point
to Barnstable Light"
Many of the railroads embraced in
the territories from a north and south
line through the middle of Pennsyl-

compelled to suspend operations en-
tirely, which, Of course will entail

ANOTHER BLOW AT SOUTHERN
INDUSTRY AND ENTER
PRISE.

We see that delegations of hired
and interested lobbyists are in Wash
ton, endeavoring to secure such legis-
lation as will curtail the manufacture
of cotton seed oil, and as will enhance
the price of lard.
They are the representatives of the
large pork and lard-packing syndicates
of the country, who, having monopo-
lied the lard trade by their combined
capital, are seeking to crush out any
thing and everything that completes
with them. Cotton seed oil will soon
be to the poorer classes especially, of
this country, what olive oil is to the
people Of Spain and Italy. 1t is clean,
it is cheap, it is healthful and in eve
ry way an excellent substitute for dys-
pepsia-breeding hogs lard. Its man
ufacture in the South is bringing our
people a handsome revenue in enhanc-
ing the value of the seed, and in cheap
ening the price of lard. And just
here is where the shoe pinches the
greasy monopolist. We trust our
representatives in Congress will be o.
the alert and watch the best interests
of our people in this important mat
ter.
We believe that the manufacturers
of all kinds of packed food should be
required to label the package, so as
to show just what it contains, and
place it before the people and let them
take their choice, prohibiting, Of
course, such goods as are deleterious
to health, j
The motive of these syndicates,
however, is not to protect health, but
to protect and enrich their own pock-
cts, by procuring such legislation as
will give them a complete monopoly
of the lard trade, by which they would
be enabled to hold the price as high
as the market would bear. We op-
pose the whole scheme as unjust, and
wrong in principle and direct
blow tosan interest in which every
man in the South who raises cotton,
and every, person who eats lard, is in
terested. "
