Diversity in farming is just as essen
tial to success us in manufacturing. The
farmer to-day deyotes too much acreage
to wheat, of which cereal there has been
an over-production for some years past,
and as a consequence low prices have
prevailed. In West Virginia the farmers
are near the best markets in the country,
and it would pay them to raise Il variety
OF crops, and not devote all their land to
wheat and corn.
The Toledo BLADE, in speaking OF this
over-production and asking the farmers
to vary their crops, prints the following
suggestive figures III regard to the i'm
portation OF agricultural staples for the
year 1886:
Free of Duty-Animals Qlorses cattle,
etc, $3,330,505; eggs, S2,l73,454; silk,
manufactured, S,277, 2lG.
Dutiable articles-Animals (horses,
cattle, ETC. $,G00, 49l; Barley, 81, III, SS7 I;
oats, S30,792; oatmeal, $i0,347; rye,
$l2S, 1850; bristles, $l,0S7, 137; flax, un-
manufactured, $l,576,5lS; hemp, un-
manufactured, S,Sl7.37G; manufactures
OF flax and hemp, $50, 963, 1856; hay, ST.
035, 1913; hops, $i44,0S0; barley malt,
1921, S43; butter, $2S,i2l; cheese, $780,
$40; preserved milk, $7l2, 40; AaxsGed,
81, OO0,477; tobacco, leaf, S7,S30,007; to-
bacco, manufactured, $3,3S2,0Sl; beans
and peas, 1855, 46l; potatoes, S640, zoos;
manufactures OF, 81, 42l, $40.
In commenting on these facts the pa
per says shat there are opportunities
shown in tho above table fora very large
addition to American farm productions
in n number of lines, which will be more
profitable than grain raising alone. 1t is
fact to be remembered that only one
tenth OF our total agricultural product is
exported, the remaining nine-tenths
being absorbed by the home market
the great army OF workingmen created
by the tariff. To abolish the latter means
that our industrial laborers must go into
other means OF livelihood, and would add
largely to the number Of farmers, for
farming is the only resource. Hence the
home market would be largely cut down,
agricultural production increased, and
the condition OF our farmers, so far rs the
sale Of their products is concerned, be
worse than it is now"

NEW York, April 2l.-Bradstreet'asays
Inactivity and decided weakness appears
in all the wool markets. With the new
clip lust ut hand, and the current tariff
agitation, manufacturers and dealers are
oyerConfident. The former are buying

no further. while the latter are in rather
uncertain state Of mind as relates TO the
purchase OF fresh supplies in the coun-
try. The recent decline in two or three
lines has stimulated inquiry, but the
general state Of things is dull and in
buyers favor.
At Boston a moderate amount OF bust
ness is in progress, with prices in almost
every instance lower and in favor of the
manufacturers. New commissioned
goods are considerably restricted, and no
Special improvement is looked for this
sping. Fine feeces are comparatively
quiet, though, perhaps, more active than
a month ago. No. Combing wool is in
small supply and steady. There is u fair
movement of territory stock. All the
advices from the interior indicate that
the new clip will be OF superior quality.
Current quotations are as follows, in
comparison with last year and the year

Anumber Of the members OF the late
shakesperian Club OF this city, will this
evening celebrate the 324th anniversary
of the great poets birth by an entertain
ment at the Mt. Bellevue Hotel. This
entertainment will be partly in com
memoation of that event and Prtly d
testimonial Of respect to the honorable
and popular president OF the club, Mr.
VIM. Leighton, who SO long presided
over its sessions, and wins is about to
bid adieu for some time to our commun'
ity. We do not need to tell our fellow
citizens who Mr.. Leighton is, nor what
he has accomplished in the literary
walks of life. We only join with his
late associates in sincerely regretting his
departure from our midst.
We presume Mr.. Leighton will have
something to say at tho entertainment
this evening on the approaching publ
cation OF Ignatius Donnelly's much nd
vertised book rs to tho real authorship
of the shakespcrian plays. Few men
arc more capable OF discussing this ques,
ton intclIigcntly and interestingly than
Mr.. Leighton, for ho is an acknowledged
Shakesperian scholar. He differs alto.
gether with Mr.. Donnelly's Baconian
view, and has no faith in his cryptic.
gramic key whereby, according to Don.
nelly, Bacon has been brought to light
rs the real author of the plays.
OF course, Mr.. Donnclly's claim that
Shakespeare never wrote the plays is
not new one. His only novelty is his
alleged discovery of key that unlocks
the secret OF authorship. He proposes
to prove beyond doubt in his forthcom.
ing book that Bacon is the author, and
that Bacon himself left the secret and
the key to it in the construction OF the
plays, trusting to the future to produce
man equal to the task OF discovery.
After the lapse OF three centuries the
man has appeared in the person of Mr.
Donnelly, and now justice is to be done
to one who ut his death was described
as the "wisest, brightest and meanest OF
mankind,"a characterization that Mr.
Donnelly scornfully rcpudiates us re-
CARDS the last named trait. He holds
that Bacon was the greatest of all tho
sons of mon and that only such man,
who first taught tho world how to reason
correctly, could have written tho i'm
mortal philosophy embalmed in the
Shakespeare plays. He assumes that il
would be miracle II Shakespeare, an
illitcrate man, had written them, and
that he was illiterate even up to the
date OF his ,cscapadc from his native
heath, he AYERS, has never been dis.
proved.
In view OF this new interest in an old
controversy that has thus sprung up the
present anniversary of Shakespeare
birth will be an unusually interesting
occasion tho world over, and no doubt
many interesting speculations will be
the result. Upto this time Shakespeare
still sits firmly on his throne, but never.
thcless, rs in the case OF Homer and the
Homeridcs, there are thany doubters.

Through the courtesy of Enoch Breeding,
publisher of the Roekdale tFexas) Wessca-
ger, we are enabled to give our readers fur-
ther particulars in regard to the sad death of
Pemberton Pierce. who was killed by jump
ing from the window of the hotel in that
place which was burned ON the morning of
the lth inst. The fire, as it appears, was
discovered few minutes before four
o'clock, and not eight o'clock, rs was re-
ported, and when first seen had gained
great headway. Tho following clipping
from the account Published in the Hessea-
ger describes the manner IN. which Mr..
Pierce met his death
"A horrible sight then met the gaze of
the few who had hastily gathered. some
one came rushing across the gallery IN
flames. As he struck the railing he tum-
bled heels over head down to the ground,
striking on his head and falling mass OF
helpless flesh. Tho body was quickly car
ried away from the burning building but
not recognized till several hours after. 1t
was then found TO be that of MIR. Pember-
ton Pierce, man of considerable repnta-
tion as a musical composer, and travelling
for the firm of Geo. IL. Zeigler & Co.. Of
Philadelphia The fact is pretty well es-
tablished that he came out upon the gal
lery and returned to get his valise. This
he secured and flung ont into the street.
It's contents were the means by which he
was identified, as the hotel register was
destroyed He rushed after it bnt, alas,
too late. Even if he had not been killed
in the fall, he could hardly have survived
the effect Of the flames which ena raped
him when he returned to his room. His
remains were tenderly cared for aud in ae-
cordance with Instructions by telegraph
from Philadelphia were shipped to that
place by the night train
The body arrived at his home in Phiia-
delphia on Saturday morning, the 9th inst,
and was taken to pennsgrovc for burial
that afternoon. A nu nber ofrclatives and
a delegation of Calvary Post, No. 35, g..
A. r., of which Mr.. Pierce was a Past
Commander. accompanied the remains.
Services were held in Emmanuel church,
the sermon being preached by Rev. Mr.,
Craig, Baptist minister of Philadelphia.
A large number of citizens viewed the re-
mains, which were recognizable and show
cd the very bruised effects of his falling on
his head Nikomis Tribe of Red Men, OF
Pennsgrove, attended the funeral and per.
formed their rites at the grave.

The K. of p. Hall at Sharptown was
filled TO overlooking on Saturday evening.
with the parents and friends of the mem
bers Of the class OF 'SS, the occasion being
the first commencement exercises in con-
neetiOn with the public school. The stage
was attractigely adorned. The audience
showed much interest in tho proceedings
Throughout there was a spirit of enthusi-
| asm. Such gatherings as this give stimuz
lus to our schools and lneite spirit of en-
ulation in its scholars.
Theexercises opened with an instrumental
| solo by Lila Sharp, followed by prayer by
Rev. Pennington Corson. The principal
Miss Tyler gave some exeellent advice to
| the class. 1t is befitting here to say that
Miss Tyler is an earnest and promising
teacher and works entirely for the interest
of her pupils. The essays were thoughtful
and ereditable alike to both scholars and
teacher. Anna Oliphant in her essay .lt
might have been, pictured in her mind S
eye two boys growing to manhood, sur
rounded by the same home influences, yet
one grows up promising youth, the other
takes the downward path to ruin.
The essay on "Silent Influence by
Maggie Black referred to the flowers as 81
lent teachers. In walk in the meadows
she spies these little friends who seem to
nod and speak in their silent way. Flowers
form the connecting link between living
man and lifeless earth and teach us most
effectively the frailty Of oar mortal state.

the manners and customs of the people.

There was a game of base ball played
here last Saturday afternoon between the
Harrisenville and the Swe,lesboro clubs.
The score was 90 to . in favor Of the
Swedesboro club. This was the first time
that oni clnb have all played together this

they will he able to compete with most ot
the amateur clubs around. They will be
