A GRANGE EVENT.


 The principal event of the week was a public meeting of the Grange on Satur day afternoon. An elaborate program was carried through successfully. Sing ing, recitations, dialogues, a brief his tory of the Grange by the master, and an account of the. origin of the move ment in the country, was read by Mrs Noble Strong. The, feasibility of en- cumbeEing our farms with mortgage was debated, Messrs Schnell. Perkins and Johnson spoke on, the affirmative and Noble B. Strong, Esq, on the nega- tive. While the speakers on the affirma- tive did well, Mir Strong .prefaced his consideration of the topic proper, with an address of marked interest. by going back to the very foundation of our coun- try, and showed; how we came in pos session of the land, and the validity of titles. He gave very interesting ac- count of Winthrop'S method in securing the Charter of Connecticut from Charles H. In speaking on the subject proper he described very lily the nature of a deed, and how much warrantee deed secured to it's owner. He also showed the nature ofla mortgage deed. it's na- ture and condition. He did all he could
 y argument, and incident, to dfssuade he young from having anything to do
 
 perience. When MT Strong closed, MT Gardner, as visitor, made few re- marks upon the mortgage system, as one of the controlling factors in the settle ment of New England aud the great west. He spoke of impossibility of esti- mating, judiciously used, itss value in spreading civilization from ocean to ocean. Nothing can be done without money. Money is needed to utilize muscle and brain. He alluded to the state of Illinois, of which the total mort gage indebtedness was S142, COG. coo, while the total value of the farm land was $700,0 100000 and that the incum- brance on farms could be lifted by the live stock thereon, and that there was no other property. business or industry, burdened with less debt. In the exer- else proceeding the debate the audience was entertainecisby duett on theorgan, which was well rendered. After the intellectual part of the program was finished, an elaborate banquet was served to all present, after which, a song by the choir brought to close the second annual anniversary and entertainment of the Wachita Grange in the town of War ren, Conn.

THE BEST FRUITS.

Much of the planting of orchards at the present day is for securing brilliant and showy fruit, with less regard to it's fine quality. Such fruit is expected to con- mand ready sale in market, but it tends to keep the standard low for quality. To the great consuming public, the in- troduction of such varieties as possess the finest fiavors would create higher standard. The Ben Davis among apples and the Kieffer among pears do not tend to elevate the standard for quality, how ever productive and profitable they may be for sale. We name few apples which possess high reputation for their excellence, although not so high as some for ready sale. Among the early apples none will be found better than Early Joe and Summer Rose, and among those of later ripening, or for winter, are Swaar, Red Canada, Pomme .Gris, Keim, and York Imperial. No one need expect 3 better pear in duality than Seckel, Bose, Dana's Hovey, etc. More attention to delicious varieties would tend to improve the taste of the people at large for. such as are well worth raising.
