ThG SEASON,

The month of MAY has been excep-
tionally cold, notwithstanding the Win
ter's snow disappeared early, and farm
work Was entered upon at q date that
gave promise of an early spring. NJ
these opening days Of June vegetation
of all Kind. IL unusually backward,
while the soli IL still cold. Even gras.
la. not made its usual progress, and
pasture. are afiorilng but .caniy feed
Tor even the young stock Of the herds.
Feeding AZ the barn has been kept up,
(or ought 10 have been) to late date. aud
ON most farms down Ia the pre.er.. time,
thus making an unexpected aud an un-
usual draft on what was supposed To be
q bounteous store of fodder for the stock
on hand. This unpro, ,lded for draft on
the hay has In many cases exhausted the
supply on hand, aud az q re.ult many
farmers hay. had to buy. There has
been more call for hay Ia the country
towns than for many years past. The
bountlfui crops OF hay for several years
have enabled farmers to stock up heavily
so that this uncommon draft on their
supply has been promptly met. Much
Of this Increase Of animals IL horse stock,
aud as this Il not generally salable until
arriving at n useful age, there was no
opening for q reduction Of numbers.
shipping sales OF hay, on account of the
better prices prevailing, have also been
heavy. Asa result Of this double de-
mand, the stock of hay La ths state has
been reduced lower than for any time In
the past three years. should the crop
this year for any reason be- cut short,
much surplus stock must necessarily be
thrown on the market.
The spring has been especially favor
able for work on the land-dry and cool,
aud as a result q large breadth has been
seeded. This was prepared In the best
Of order.
The snow fall of the evening Of the
2i.t ult., and the morning OF the 22d,
was remarkable for the late date of such
an event, and also for the depth With
which Il covered the ground. The hill
sections OF the state remained blanketed
with their white covering for thlrty-slx
hours--a rare occurrence Indeed for q
late snow. The green foliage Of the
trees Just starting Into beauty, and the
early blossoms OF the plums and cher
ries, loaded with their white covering Of
this relic Of winters cold, was sight to
please the eye Of the artist no doubt, but
was not particularly Inviting TO him
whose attention for weeks had been
associated with the anticipation Of q
harvest ne the result Of his labors.
Potatoes are In over-supply In pro-
ducers' hands, and without selling
value. Many will be fed out To stock
for want Of q market.
June IL now upon ne, and with ex.
pectatIons Of brighter sunshine and
warmer days, those who dress the garden
aud tIll the fields take up the work Pc
cullar TO the season In full expectation
that bountiful harvest will reward
their efinrfa.-Maine Farmer.

The Crescent Trouble Up Again-Row Over
the New Agreement.

The brewers unions are still at war over
the Crescent fight at Aurora. and the sub
ject is likely to cause a heated discussion
at Central Labor Union next Monday
night. The roubles originated in the Gin
cinnatl unions. Union No. IL, of that city,
Is now agitated over another cause of trou-
BILE. The Commercial Gazette of yester-
day had the following. which will interest
the Indianapolis unions:
Jacob Willig, the editor of the Cincln-
natl Zeitung, met with an unpleasant re-
ceptlon at the meeting of Local Union IL,
of the brewers of Cincinnati. The meeting
was called for the purpose of considering
Section 2 of the agreement drafted Tues
day, which allowed the owners to employ
%non-union labor. MIR. WilliR addressed
the meeting for an hour and stated
that the disputed section was one
of the best In the entire set of reso-
lutions. At the conclusion he was greeted
with q storm of Misses and was openly ac-
cused of having been bribed to make the
speech. He demanded an apology, which
was refused. and, as he insisted, he was
fired ont of the meeting. Resolutions were
then adopted declaring that the agreement
did not bind the union until the obnoxious
clause was stricken out. Members of the
national committee are of the opinion that
since the matter was left to arbitration
the union must either abide by the result
or they will be disbanded."

Mr.. TAYLOR's LITTLE SNAP.


A scant half-dozen coIored Democrats
tho National Colored Mems Protective
Association-were in the city yesterday,
and had 1t given out that the national con-
vention of the association would be held in
Wright's Hail, on New York street. A visit
to the hall failed TO produce anything,
however. Mr.. Wright said there had been
no meeting. and 40 arranRements tor any.
Last night it vas learned shat
there had been q convention in
q little back room in the third
floor of the block at 1Sl9 North Pennsyl-
vania street. The size of the room, how
ever. was no inconvenience. as 1t was
amply able TO accommodate several such
meetings. Those in attendance were
George +. Taylor. the president and or
ganlZer; II. t.. Cooper. who is to be some-
thing; s. L. Marsh ana e.. Q. Curtis. both
OF Iowa: and Miss Cecilia Sherman, Of
Salem, Mass. Marsh say Q that the colored
man should take on the whole srmor of
Democracy. and this was the line of an ad-
dress delivered by him to his four com
panions at yesterday afternoons meeting.
Messrs. Knox and Sweeney, when asked
about their designations, sm0le a jocular
smile and had nothing to say further than
that they sincerely hoped their Democratic
friends would not be bled too freely.
In an interview, in an afternoon paper,

publican party. Mr.. Sweeney and Mr..
Knox both say, and the Journal knows of
It's " knowledge. that the proprietors of
the Freeman nave never received q dollar
from the party. nor asked for q dollar. nor
expect to get a dollar. The statement was
probably made from O lack of ability on
the part of Mr.. Taylor to comprehend the
idea of q colored paper that exists and OBJ
tains its support upon it merits as q publ
cation.
A number of circulars have been sent
out calling upon the colOred men to attend
another meeting to-day. The race seems
to be holding aloof from the schemers, how
ever. and if the expressions of prominent
colored people voice the sentiment of the
race the convention will probably adjourn
without having startled the world by the
number of proselytes

The Transcontinentai Association.


Now the report comes that the Atchison.
Topeka IL Santa Fe. as we'll as the Great
Northern, will withdraw from the Trans
sentimental Association. With this the
last chance for the existenceo of the associa-
ton disappears. To the average railroad
man it appears rather strange that Western
lines cannot live mp to and maintain asso-
ciation agreements as well as Eastern lines.
Between Chicago and the Rocky Mount
lins there are nineteen roads that have re-
peatedly entered into and broken a~ssocia-
ton agreements which extended over
specified territory. In the territory COW
cred by the Central Traffic Association
there are eighty-six separate and distinct
lines, only one-half of them in control of
the Central Traffic Association, and 1t
moves along year after year without much
friction or trouble. Furthermore. the con-
ditIons In it's territory are much different
and the competition greater than with
