THE NATIONAL GRANGE.
Jersey GFangeFS There in Force.

i National Grange Patrons OF Husbandry now
in session at Atlantic City, was opened on
the 18th instant, on the Steel Pier, and
each day since, Sunday accepted, sessions
haye been held at which matters having for
their object the welfare Of the great body
Of American agriculturists have been dis
cussed, and plans laid for their execution.
Not all the proceedings Of this great gather
ing have been given to the public because
in large degree the Grange is a secret So
ciety, into the inner circle of which only
the elect may penetrate.
A feature of the meetings has been the
display Of Jersey products by New Jersey
Grangers In this exhibit the counties Of
Gloucester, Burlington and Salem took a
leading part, indeed but for these the
exhibit would have been failure Though
