LAST Tuesday evening Mr.. B. F. B.
Woodall gave his announced lecture in
Dorsey Hall on How the farm does, and
will pay" He spoke oftarmers as they
have come under his observation, and
showed that he is keen observer of cur
rent events and methods of farming. He
said that many men who complain that
farming does not pay, are Of the class
who stop work on the farm to bring in
load of wood to sell for a dollar-thns
losing an entire day that should have
been devoted to needed labor on the farm.
He believes that our only hope for great
future is our river navigation, and to get
it, each farmer and merchant must work
for it. He claimed that for the purpose
of deepening the mouth of the river so
that a steamer can run regularly between
Milford and Philadelphia, it would pay
to mortgage every farm within five miles
of the river for one hundred dollars to do
the work, and in less than ten years after
it was done farms in that five mile limit
would be more than doubled in value.
Mr.. woudall told some plain truths and
made suggestions in his plain way, which
if acted upon, would make Milford and
Cedar Creek hundreds bloom like rose
in prosperity.

N.R. Green Explains.

MIR. EDITOR: It has been reported and
industriously circulated for the purpose
of injuring me, that on certain occasion
two years ago I was having some talk
against the farmers and their movement,
and on being warned to be careful how I
talked, replied "that the farmers would
forget 1t in two years."
Now, can YOU find for me the man that
heard me make that remark? think
found the man that made and told 1t,
but he and some others, understand,
are still insisting that some one else told
it. Now, I challenge the world to pro-
duce the man that heard me make such
remark, or knows of my saying or
doing anything against the interest Of the
farmers Of this country. I have nothing
to hide and ask an investigation on my
record
Now, Mr.. Editor, I must ask pardon
for having to come TO your newspapers
with these affairs, but have been SLAM
dered and had so much put on me tor
the last year, that at last am compelled
to resort to the papers to defend myself.
I dislike newspaper controversy as
much as anyone could, and will not
enter into one now only far enough to
demand and insist on haying the facts If
they can be found.
Idesire to say, Mr.. Editor, that I am
candidate for Sheriff. ] am run by no
CLIQUE or party and belong to none ex-
cept the Democratic party. I have been
in the Office FIVE years and have tried as
hard as 8 man could to attend to my own
business and keep out OF that of others.
have tried to serve my people faithfully
and serve each and every party and indi-
yidual alike, and il am so fortunate as
10 be the next Sheriff Of this county, !
shall in the future as have in the past,
endeaYor to work faithfully and fairly to
discharge the duties fmy Office.
Again, let me say I was once some.
what wild in my life, but the report that
I now drink and gamble Is absolutely
false and defy any man to bring proof
of any aot of mine since ! Joined the Rap-
tist church two years ago, inconsistent
with the life Of Christian man. did
not vote for Haskell two years ago, and
would not have done 80 had I been IN the
State, nor did I leave the State to keep
from voting.
These are facts, as near as can tell
them, and if any man knows ofany proof
tocontradict them, let him bring 1t to the
front at once or forever hereafter hold
his peace and II any man hears any
tal1tS aSsAnsI mo Aou V.tS sAo oa' :
hope he will demand Of the party tell
ing him to furnish proof and bring him
with his proof to me, Don't try me with
nv enemies and not let me know Oft.
And now, Mr.. Editor, I expect to run
this race fair and square, on merit and
principle, hanging on TO no mans hob
by or coat-tail, and all I ask is fair
and square honest deal. I do not in
tend to appear in print again until after
the election, only to announce myself
but will take pleasure In explaining any
thing I can to any man that wishes to
come to me for information.
And now, Mr.. Editor, again begging
pardon for taking so much Of your valua-
Bic space, and patiently waiting for the
proof of these assertions, am very res
pectfully yours,
NELSON r. GREEN.

- Blankets, it is said, wore named
after their first makers, three brothers
of Bristol, England, named Edward,
Edmund and Thomas Blanket, who es-
tablished large trade in this article Of
woollen goods, and were the earliest
manufacturers of it in the middle of the
fourteenth century. Cambria, we are
told, came from Cambray, town in
French Flanders famous for its fine lin
ems; and damask originated in Damas-
Gus. Calico is derived from Calicut, on
the NIalabar coast, and muslin from
Moussoul, a city of Asiatic Turkey, CIV
ing evidence that though these goods arc
now sent to India and the East they were

The Magic Maze, maze of mirrors,
Is the latest novelty at the Horticultural
Exhibition in London. The visitor enters
the maze by crooked passage, walled
entirely by mirrors, into the central hall,
toward which number Of seemingly
endless avenues appear to converge. Re-
productions OF the visitor are presented
at every imaginable polrt and an
gle. A figure stands at the the entrance
to the hall and beckons with the uplifted
hand, aud the reproductions show the
figure In a hundred different places at
once. The bewildered visitors walk
about in q cautious, half:scared way,
running into their own reflections, and
looking with distrust on everyone who
approaches, unable to tell the substance
from shadow, The space occupied by the
mage is only forty feet by thirty feet, but
the arrangement OF the mirrors, gives
1t the appearance Of being acres In ex-
