4 Good Man Gone from Us.

aofs did the harvest to his sickle yield,
Ma furrow oft the stubborn glebe has broke
uov iacund did he drive his team afield,
How bowed the woods beneath his sturdy
stroke"
Col. ALEXANDER JACKSON McDADE
died at his residence, about five miles
auth of Bellevue, on last Monday,
9Th instant, in the 73rd year of his
age.
Another landmark gone! Another
pioneer of Bossier has passed away
4 parish patriarch, full of years and
bonors, has calmly laid down the
great burden of life, and is at rest
As the husbandman gathers the
ripened grain, Col. McDADE has been
gathered by Him who gathers man
when ripe with age.
Col. McDADR removed from Ala
bams TO this parish in 1849, and for
the past forty years has been not
only q prominent and useful citizen
Of Bossier, but one of the most loved
and honored. Industrious, honest,
upright, earnest and sincere in every
thing, his death is mourned by all
Who knew him. Such a man makes
the world better while he is in it, and
when he goes to his better home
leaves behind him soft and sweet
influence that melts hearts to feel
ings Of tenderness, and strengthens
the good impulses that are strug-
Cling for the mastery of men -
Truly, no parish ever had a better
citizen, and no family tenderer hus-
band or more devoted father. Mod
est, unassuming and amiable, he
seemed to attract all men to him, and
drove none away. But it was in the
home circle where the many noble
trsts of the deceased were best re-
aected and most appreciated. Here
the blow falls the heaviest-here the
sorrow viii last the longest.
How sad is the thought that the
tsnderest ties and connections which
We form on earth must be broken
q the hour of death. Such is the
sentiment of the human heart at the
moment of dissolution-the hour of
separation from those who are dear
to us. But this is life; our loved
ones leave us, and one by one the
delights of earthly homes are wrest-
ed from us.
To the bereaved widow, sons and
daughters, and many sorrowing rela-
tiyes, we offer our warmest sympa-
thies. May He whose voice once
Gained the stormy sea, bring peace
70 their troubled hearts.

The Geographical Society here has decid-
ed to take part officially in the international
Congress of Biographies to be held at Paris
in connection with the exhibition This de-
cision is declared to be logical corallary of
the official abstention of the German Gov
ernmsnt from association with the exhibit
ion; but the members of the Geographical
Society here reserve themselves the right of
attending the congress in q private capacity.
But that the cold-shouldering which France
has lately received at the hands of Germany
has Its limits is proved by the following
incident. 1t Is in the nature of the Germans
to honor bravery and devotion even in an
enemy. At Juterbogk, town on the line
between Berlin and Dresden, about sixty
captive French soldiers died during the war
of 1870. They were buried near the artillery
range there, and as this range had to be ex-
tended lately, the bones of these poor French
prisoners were carefully taken up, deposited
in basket collins with the original numbers
attached, and reinterred In neat little
graveyard, with sandstone memorial in the
centre, which had been prepared near by.
Yesterday this little cemetery was ceremon-
iously consecrated by the Catholic field chap
lain from Berlin in the presence of all the
chief officers of the brigade garrisoned about
Juterbogk, and contingents of 100 men from
each regiment, with an artillery band of
music

A new Lodge of the Iron Hall.

Much interest IL manifested in this city,
over the rapid growth OF the Iron Hall,
especially In the State of Connecticut. The
old Branch s94 of this city, which was Or
ganized last November, now has about 1876
members. For the past few weeks Deputy
Supreme Justice w. A. Rice has been labor
Ing In New Haven In the interest Of the Or
der, and as result the and lodge will be
organized at Pythian Hall, Friday evening,
July 10th. Deputy Rice, assisted by an able
staff Of officers from the old lodge will per-
form the ceremony of institution on that
evening.
The new lodge will start with nearly 30
charter members, as 1t has every prospect of
rapid increase. The Iron Hall Is the first
secret order that proposed paying from 5000,
to $1,000 In seven years, and Its success has
brought forth number of imitators. The
Iron Hall became seven years old on March
28th last. II gained over 5000 members in
one month purchase and 1t averages one new
lodge per day throughout the country. r.
J. Bunce, ITO Howe street, can give all par
ticulars about this order. The entire MEM
bership is now over $4,000, and there are
HOO lodges. More than three million dol
lars has been paid to living members, and
the reserve fund Is $3.50, 900.

DEATH OF JOHN WINSTON HOOKER.

Mr.. John W. Hooker, only son of Mr..
Jonathan w. Hooker, of Norwich, died at
his home in that city Saturday, of Bright's
disease. He passed away while sitting in his
chair. For many years he had suffered ia
termittently from rheumatism. The Bulletin
says of him:
genial, large hearted man who was ever ready,
when health permitted, to give his assistance to
those in i. need Of kind, quiet mature, bis his
society of those who were in trouble, was always
welcome, and he had word of encouragement for
others even when he himself was suffering acutely
from the pains of disease. No one applied to him
in vain. He was a prominent Odd Fellow, having
ii, and for good many years was secretary of
that order. At one time he was city editor of The
Bulletin, away back in the dark days Of the rebel
not when their days work was done. His death
will strike sorrow to the hearts OF large circle OF

The time seems to be coming in this conn
try, If 1t is not already hore, when the own
ers of small farms will prove to be our most
successful farmers. Never before were the
capabilities of few acres so understood as
now, and never before was there SO strong
an inclination to increase labor and atten-
ton to small areas. This is the policy
which has made farming possible and even
highly remunerative in Europe--Germany
and France for instance-where lands are
highly valuable; and 1t is the policy which
must sooner or later obtain on this side of
the Atlantic. If the came labor and fertili-
cation now devoted to the cultivation of
American farms were devoted to one-haif
the area-or even less-we believe the result
tant outcome would be much more satisfac-
tory. This is exclusive of the large quanti-
ties of seed which would thereby be saved,
not to speak of the interest on present large
Investments. The next generation will
probably do good deal in the way of DEM
onstation In this direction.

RESULT OF THE SPECIAL sHooL NETTING
ouTINds-A CONSOLIDATED UNION PFC
MIC DECIDED UroN-THE FARMERS AND THE
CROPS.
MoNTowEsE, July 15.-At a special school
meeting recently held in this district, 1t was
voted to make such repairs and improve
ments as may be necessary in and about the
school house, the cost will be about two
hundred and fifty dollars-Miss Sarah Coop
er has secured an appointment as teacher in
Room No. and Miss Robinson will teach in
Room No. l. There is an increasing interest
in this as we'll as In other parts of the town,
regarding school matters and it is hoped
that eventually marked improvement in
the school will be the result.
While 1t cannot be said that residents of
this village expect to find q more salubrious
climate elsewhere than here, yet many of
them see the need of change and propose
to take themselves away for a brief season.
The family of our popular grocer, Mr..
Cooper, is at present in Durham. Mr.. Scott
will try Massachusetts, and Prof. Osgood and
wife daughter of Rev. Mr.. Simond) will start
on European tour the last of the month.
At North Hill Mrs. Turner will go to Penn
sylvania on visit to her son, who holds
prominent and responsible position with
railroad company at Easton. Mr.. Forbes
proposes to take an outing latter haying"
and "Gov." Barnes Is spending O vacation
away from the shop quite probably on a
trip through the State putting up hay forks.
If enough members of the Tourists club re-
main at home to get up another picnic such
an event will probably take place in the near
future.
The joint picnic of the churches has now
settled down to an affair of the whole town,
regardless of scot or creed, and will occur on
July 80. This date has been decided upon
because the one formerly chosen conficted
with that of the grange gathering.
The boy choir now under training for st.
Johns church Is making fair progress, and
the organist, Mr.. Fred Stiles, expects to have
them In good working order early in the
fall.
Farmers now see the futility of making
small cocks of hay. It is all very pleasant
to remark to one another regarding the NUM-
Der of heaps contained in certain field, also
the fact that they are SO near each other
that there Is not room to drive q rake be-
tween them; but when the rain comes is only
too evident that If three of those same heaps
were combined in one much less hay would
be damaged thereby.
The frequent rains of the past spring and
present summer are shown in no way more
plainly than in the abundant crops, without
It is in the equally abundant weeds. The
latter, however, have In some cases been
kept under by more dilligent use of the hoe,
which extra labor, of course, comes out of
the profits expected to be realized from the
crops, A few farmers who have more irons
In the fire than they can attend to did not
make calculations for hoeing their crops more
than twice, and now have some difficulty In
finding any crops at all. The weeds "sprung
up choked them"
