Farmers Institutes.

BY act of the last legislature, the
State Board of Agriculture is author
lied to hold a farmers institute in
each county in the state desiring one.
These Institutes are to be two
days In length. The Board will
furnish sp ,akers, with all expenses
paid, to occupy one half the time of
the in >titute. Local speakers will be
expected to occupy the other half Of
the time; and local expenses, such as
hall rent, heating. programs, ETC.,
will have to be furnished by the in
stitute society.
Counties desiring an institute must
FIRST organize an institute society
under the provisions OF the law. To
organize. at least twenty res. dents of
the county, without regard to sex but
of legal age, shall meet and adopt a
brief constitution, forms for which
will be furnished, and bylaws, in
harmony with the state law and rules
OF the Boarl, and shall proceed to
elect the following officers: A presi-
dent, vice president from each
township In the county, aud a secre-
tary who shall also lie treasurer.
When any county already has an in
stitute society, this society may he
accepted by the Board for institute
purposes, by agreeing to confirm To
the rules of the Board. A good active
county agricultural society may SO
become an institute society, by max
ing similar agreement.
These societies must be organized
by Sept. 20, 1895, and the earlier the
better. Ii the farmers Of this county
desire an institute next winter, with
help from the state, they should I'M.
mediately begin getting ready t.
organize. We advise those interested
to arrange for meeting At an early
date, so as to be in line with other
counties A copy OF the law and rule,
governing these Institutes can be SCI q
at this Office. Particulars regarding
organizing can be obtained by writing
to Kenyon l.. Butterfeld, Agricul
tural College, Mich, who is Superin.

1t Is the height Of cheek for the
democratic party to try to steal re-
publican thunder. Every intelligent
person knows that In 1894 the repub-
licans predicted that the success of
their party meant improvement In
business, higher wages and better
times. The prediction has been full
filled to the letter and now the DEM
ocrats are trying to claim the credit
for the improvement to the passage of
the Wilson bill. Every person knows
that the passage Of the Wilson bill
did not improve business or raise
wages. 1t was not until the people
repudiated the party that passed the
Wilson bill that times began to i'm
prove. Just as soon as it was found
that the party that has always stood
for the best interests of the country
hae secured control of the lower
house of congress and were in a posi-
tion to prevent any further demo
cratic assaults on the interests Of the
country, then times began to improve,
idle furnaces and manufactures were
started W, wages began to be in
creased. The reason was confidence
was restored. The people all realized
that the democrats could not con.
tinue the policy Of "perddy and dis
honor" inaugurated by the democrat
congress In the face of these well

A DANGEROUS ACT.-Wednesday af-
ternoon, while the excursion train on
the G. & W. was approaching Harrison
burg, just after leaving the cut at Pleas
ant Hill, John Hughes, a resident of
Bridgewater, stepped up to brakeman,
Joseph P. Newman, of this place, and
pulled him by the coat tail. Newman
was standing on the rear end of the car
with his back to the man, putting on
the brakes, as that part of the road is
n dangerous one. When Hughes pull
ed him he stepped back to the car be-
hind and then fell. When he rose he
demonstrated with Hughes, telling him
that ne had very nearly thrown him
between the cars and that that would
not only have killed him but would
have endangered the lives of the pas
sengers. Without replying Hughes
struck Newman in the face, knocking
him fiat. The train was stopped and
Hughes was put off. He then picked
up a rock and attempted to throw it at
Newman, when he was arrested by
Sergeant I. H. Miller In the Mayors
court yesterday the testimony was Civ
en- in as above, while Hughes refused
te testify. He was fined $1,000 and
costs. Parties who saw the occurrence
say that Hughes was drinking. but was
by no means entirely under the influ
ence of whiskey.-Spirit of the Valley,

NIghr-BIooming Cereu 8.

The Night-blooming Cereus, a species of
Cactus, is a remarkable flower. The stem on
which its magnificent flower is formed grows
from the edge of the leaf. 1t blooms at
night, as its name implies, and its beauty is
evanescent, as it withers before the morning
light streaks the Eastern sky. The stem on
which the flower is formed is or inches
long, of maroon color, with the flower-end
turned like shepherds crook. The numer-
GUS petals are white and ily-like, lanceolate
IN shape, and three or four inches in length,
and when expanded make a magnificent
flower about five inches in diameter. The
pistil is about three inches in LENGTH and the
stameus are numerous and beautifully ar
ranged, being delicate white filaments, crown
ed with yellow anthers.
Mrs. John Burns has the good fortune to
have one of these strange flowers, which
bloomed at o'clock last Sunday night, and
we had the pleasure of seeing it, having beer
informed in the evening that it would bloom
that night.
When seen the next morning Its glory hat
departed,-its stem limp and withered, 1T
petals closed, never to open again,-its bloom
was shed, its fragrance dead.
1t is one of the many marvels of natur
that flower of so much beauty should b.
developed through long and tedious pro
cess of growth, to bloom and wither, lik
jonah's gourd, in single night.
Man, in his vain presumption, fatters him
self with the delusive idea that all things ar
made for his special benefit and delectation.

Railroad Qualification at Dayton.

On last Wednesday, there was great jolli-

county, in celebration of the extension to that
place of the new Chesapeake and Western
railroad now being built. A Harrisonburg
despatch to the Baltimore San says, lit is
estimated that five thousand people were pres

people were in hospitable mood. After
happy speech of welcome by Prof. J. N. Fries,
which was responded to by Col. E. G. Machen
for the people, Judge John Paul, of the Uni
ted States District Court, was introduced as
the orator of the occasion, and stirred up the
people to high pitch of enthusiasm by de-
picting the posi- bilities for the two Virginias
when this road becomes a through trunk-line.
Judge Paul was followed by a number of
other speakers. Citizens of Rockingham
came from miles around. laden with well-till-
ed baskets, and the multitude was fed in old
fashioned picnic style"

Caution to Bicycle Riders.

1t is not generally known how rapidly veloc-
ity adds to the momentum, and how danger
GUS collision is when riding rapidly. If the
rider weighs $50 and is going at the rate of I
miles an hour, the momentum is l, 500 pounds,
and that is the force with which he would
strike man or other object that is standing
still; and if he were TO come into collision with
another bicycle rider of the same weight and
at the same rate of speed in the opposite di.
rection, the force of the conclusion would be
5000 pounds. II the rider be heavier, the
momentum would, of course, be greater. If
the speed be greater, the momentum would
be greatly increased, and consequently the
danger would be increased in the event of
collision. The momentum increases much
more rapidly than the velocity. When you
double the velocity. you increase the momen-
INN many times,
