JOHN W. GRKGGs, the first republican
governor in New Jersey for thirty years,
was inaugurated last week at Trenton.
ONE person was killed, four were fatally
injured, and property valued at 500, 900
was destroyed at Muncie, Ind, last week,
by an explosion Of natural gas.
GEORGE W. PUTNAM died last week at his
home in East Saugus, Mass, aged eighty
three years. Mr.. Putnam was prominent
in the anti slavery movement, and served
as secretary to Charles Dickens when the
novelist visited this country
SENATOR MORRILL, does not favor the
Davis resolution on the Monroe doctrine.
He advises his senatorial colleagues to go
slow in dealing with the resolution, for, in
his opinion, it seems to go too far, and the
government should not commit itself to es-
tablsh a protectorate over all the little
countries south of the United States.
DR.. CHARLES S. MURKLAND, acting di-
rector of tn. State Experiment Station in
New Hampshire, has sent an open letter to
Governor Busiel regarding the shipment Of
cattle infected with tuberculosis into that
state. In it he intimates that tuberculosis
cattle condemned in Vermont and in Mas
sachusetts may be shipped into New Hamp-
shire without protest, and that he holds
three certificates, signed by duly authorized
veterinary surgeons, each certificate giving
a statement of one case in which an animal
was condemned as diseased with tuber-
culosis and was shipped into New Hamp-
shire. He advocates immediate action, and
says that no question OF i'm Mediate expense
should be permitted to destroy the leading
agricultural interests of the state, and to
threaten the health and the life of the peo-
pie of New Hampshire.

NOTICE of motion has been given in the
Dominion parliament to accept the offer of
the United States government to admit, free

this would be greatly in the interests of
Canadian agricuturalists and would relieve
the Canadian manufacturers in regard to

PUTTING UP A GRIsT MILL.
COnvicts to Grind Their own Corn
This Year.


The county commissioners are now pu,-
ting up a grist mill on the county farm.
They are going to make the convicts raise
enough corn every year to supply the
camps with grits.
Last year the farm raised 1850 bushels
of corn, besides other large crops, and
without difficulty whatever. Grits is a
staple and a daily article in the diet Of
the convict, and there is no reason why
the county farm should not raise enough
corn to make all the grist and meal they
need. The commissioners think 1t can
be done with ease, and they are now put-
ting up the mill for the purpose of grind
ing it.
The convicts are still living on the peas
that were raised on the farm last year,
and the county has had no occasion to
buy any. The commissioners are now
having rice planted on the farm, with
a view to raising enough of the crop
also TO supply what the convicts need If
the good results accomplished so far are
continued, it is apparent there will be no
trouble in raising right on the farm
enough Of all sorts of vegetables and
staple articles to supply the convicts Bill
of fare the year round.
