and 9TH.

Secretary Edge. Of the State Board of Agri-

nesting which viii be held in this place on
June 9Th and 7th.
Senator Critehfeld. who IS the local rner1-
Der Of the board, is entitled to all the credit
ior securing the meeting for Somerset
The State Board of Agriculture comprises
one member from each Of the sixty-sey

three microscopes and hygienists, and two
meteorOlogists- The Governor and the heads
Of the State departments are ex -oficio mem
beEs Of the beard. All told the Board COM
prises about eighty members
The meetings Of the board are al
ways attended by large number of the
members and usually by the Governor and
several Of the heids Of departments.
Governor PAttison, We are informed, has
promised 10 attend the meeting to be held
here.
The meetings are largely attended, too, by
leading and progressive farmers from all
over the Commonwealth, - it can safely be
predicted that several hundred representa-
| tiYes Of the agricultural interests ofthe Penn
sylEAnia viii attend the spring meeting.
Many Of the gentlemen who have ATTENDED
the meetings heretofore haYe been accom-
/ panied By their wives and daughters, and
noE that the spring meeting is to be held in
Somerset, one Of the most beautiful and
beautifully located towns in Psnnsy lyania,
We have no doubt majority OF the members
Of the beard viii bring their wives and
daughters with them for few day. enjoy
ment in a modern mountain town.
When the question of having the board
meet in Somerset was first broached II Was
thought that sufficient hotel aceommOda-
tions Tor all who desired TO attended could
not be obtained here. but after considering
the matter carefully the committee having
the selection OF location in charge conclud-
ed that the hotels and boarding houses OF
Somerset would be eqaal 10 the demand that
viii be made upon them.
In case the crowd should prove too large
for the hotels and boarding houses to handle
the hOspitsbis people Of Somerset can be
relied upon 10 take care Of the oSerh5R.
Perhaps no public meetings ever held in
this county have met with greater measure
Of popular favor than the annual sessions OF
- Farmers Institute The attendance has
increased Al each session, until the one held
a few months ago, when the crowd was
50 large that scores Of people were
unable to gain admission 10 the Court room
| in which The meetings were held.
OfcOurse all the progressive farmers in the
county viii attend the meeting Of the State
board, where they viii have an opportunity
Of seeing and hearing the repre-e..sa'ives Of
tAe agricultural interests from al the coun-
ties ia the STATE. The meetings Of the State
board sTe conducted on the same principal
a. " Farmers Institutes" at which all per
sons Interested can be beard.
The OleOmsrgarine question, which pro-
voked a bitter discussion at the last meeting
ofthe board viii be settled st the spring meet
ing. The question will come up On reso-
luton that the ~ committee on legislation
be instructed to report a restrictive act to take
the place ofthe present one, which is pro-
hibitory."
The people Of Somerset and Of the county
will extend a cordial welcome to the board
MIR. UhPs Nomination Tied Up"
We had thought las, week that the Aeht

ended, and that ere this Solomoa Uhl would
| have qualified as Postmaster Keller's sue
cessoE. The appointment of Mr.. Ual, view
ed from purely disinterested standpoint,
was possibly the best that cOald have been
made for the purpose of hsrmOnizing the
I Democratic factions in this town and coun-
ty. Il came in the nsture of a sur
prise, but was received with gen
eral satisfaction by q large majority Of
the patrons Of the office.
II appears that instead of the fight for the
postoffiee having ended. it has only been
transferred TO Washington, where an active
effort IS being made to defeat The eonfrma-
ton Of Nr. Uni. II is well known that
charges we're preferred against him after his
name was sent to the Senate We are not
informed as 10 the character of the charges,
but we know that Mr.. [ his friends, and
among them can be numbered a majority of
the old soldiers of this community, have
rallied 70 his support and will make avigor-
Gus fight for his confirmation.
The 6ght against Mr.. Uhl IS being con-
Quoted very quietly and had its origin in
personal rather than political feeling.
1t is fight between Democrats, however,
and Is Of a kind that the HERALD never
NEEDLES IN nor has any sympathy with
