We understand that the reason why the stone work progresses so slowly on the Court house walls, is that stone masons, competent to work on the outside walls arc scarce, and hard to procure.

 It is high time that the brick layers were ot work. and it is unfortunate that the stone work hangs fire SO long.

 An addition of two was added to the stone mason force on the basement of the Court House, this morning. The sub-con- .-rc-or 7avs h. 1,i'l have the stone work very nrerir c0mnOeted next week

The Fsirburry Clipper of the Sd
comes out on the green back platform.
In introducing the editorial making
this announcement, the Clipper says


To-day we raise the green back
Banner, and fully and finally commit
our paper to the advocacy of the prin-
oiples of the greenback party. We
intend to procure our own press and
material, enlarge our paper consider
ably, aud we trust that our efforts will
receive the attention and encourage
men, of all Independents in the
county and vicinity.


We have O very friendly feeling for
the greenback movement to limited
extent. We cannot, however, aban-
don the Republican party, for 1t has
the prerogative of adjusting the mon
ey or any other matter that needs
reformation, and may do 80 whether
the better way be paved with hard
money or padded with'soft. The Re-
publican party is one of progress, and
not welded or pledged to any grooves
of old fogyism. THE ADVERTISER is
ia favor Of greenbacks but opposed to
"infiation"; is in favor of gold, but
opposes making It the sole money Of
the country. This idea will. we
think. not being on any extreme, ul-
timately obtain with all parties.

A cable dispatch to the Inter Ocean
says, regarding England's attitude
toward Russia:


There Is still great excitement over
the dispatch of the 1leet to Besika Bay :.
The explanation given to the powers
that it was to protect Christians and
British Interests, has strengthened the
opinion that the Cabinet have deter
mined to interfere. A similar step
was taken last year on the same
grounds. but the action Of the peace
party, who pointed out that such a
course would encourage the Turks,
compelled the government TO with
draw the squadron.

action Of the government, and It is

has arrived for action, and that the

that this is only the beginning, and
that before long the public mind will
be traDquilized by measures of still

There are murmurings now being
heard about the "inefficiency of the
Grand Duke Nicholas" He may be
a military genius Of great ability, and
it may be that the Emperor and pub
lie sentiment have been too impatient
and eager to crush the Turks, causing
the Grand Duke to make too much
haste to risk battles, against his bet
judgment. He may not underate the
strength of the Turkish army. bat the
fretful inconsiderate Emperor certain
ly does. If reports of the last week or
two are half true. they have learned
TO ''go slow" aud to realize that al
though the SUCCESS OF Russia is only a
question Of time, 1t cannot be I'm a

THE opening of Spring does not bring
with 1t that encouragement to our farmers
and dairymen we had anticipated. The
downward tendency of the produce market
causes some dstrust among those who have
expected to SOW largely. They do not stop
to consider that prices at present are alto
gether higher than the country can afford,
and that grain or flour at one-third less would
be ample remuneration Of good crop year,
but seem to fear that the bottom will fall
cut, and another winter find us selling pro-
duce at ruinous prices, such as were realized
in 1873. They do not stop to consider that
our agricultural population has decreased
nearly one-third.


Our dairy men have the greatest cause for
alarm. Heretofore the entire product of the
previous season has been exhausted by this
time, and spring prices, particularly for but
ter have ruled high. But the past winter
having been light, considerable amount Of
butter has been made, and the demand for
packed butter is oportlonately decreased,
hence an anxiety on the part of those hold


ing to sell before grass grows, and some will
be deferred from engaging as largely in the
business this year as last. Now, it is prob
able that this article will be trihe less dur
lug the summer than it was last, but should
next winter be reasonably severe, as it is
fair to presume, old prices will be resumed
4 year hence.

Mr. Editor Il notice communication in
the PRESS of yesterday morning in regard to
some matters connected with the Allen Mis-
sion. Fearing it might give a false impression
to some minds in the community, will say in
regard to the bill rendered by Mrs. Peters for
alleged services, that said bill was conside red
incorrect, and 1 have never been advised by any
one of the Allen Mission workers to pay it; but
on the contrary have been urged repeatedly not
to pay it until it was adjusted


As to the Mission Chapel being opened by
false keys or otherwise, it was done during by
absence. On my return on going to the Mis-
sion Friday evening last, Mr.. j. Barker, who
takes care of the Mission, told me the chapel
lock had been picked and broken and the
organ taken therefrom by some person or per-
sons unknown and he did not know where it
was Neither myself or Mr.. Barker had been
applied to for the key to the chapel. Had any
such application been made it would have been
cheerfully complied with. have not threat
ened to arrest the person or persons who took
the organ in the manner it was done, but have
been urged to do SO by some of my co-workers
at the Mission. L only desire to know if it was
morally or legally right to enter the chapel,
either by force or by picking the LOCK- and tax
ing therefrom an organ to secure bill not ap-
proved as correct. said bill being against mis-
sion not incorporated,

MAGNOLIA AT Miss MARsH's THEATRE.
Another large audience witnessed the great
spectacular play of Magnolia at Fanny Marsh's
Theatre last evening This play is evidently
bound to be a success, and it will undoubtedly
have along run. The gorgeous scenic effects
startling situations, clever acting and fine music
are sufficient to fill the house for some time.
The play ran much smoother last evening than
on the first night, and the audience showed
their enjoyment in frequent aud hearty ap.
plause. The duel scene was particularly foe,
and at the close of the act Miss Marsh and MI.
Gossn were both called before the curtain

roles were excellently sustained by Miss Marsh

SCHOOL AT GRAND ARMY HALL.-A very
large and fashionable audience gathered at
Grand Army Hall last evening to witness the
representation of Robertson's popular comedy
of School by the High School class of IT
The hall was not large enough 10 hold those
who wished to witness the play, and after the
aises had been filled with seats large num-
ber were turned away for want of standing
room The audience had seen this comedy
well played on former occasions by profession
als, but this amateur company suffered little by
comparison. To say that it was well given is
stating the case mild. The parts were all well
cast and the several roles were well sustained.
The large audience were not the least charry
of their applause. In addition several of the
young ladies received magnificent bouquets
from their admiring friends.


At the request of many who were unable to
be present last evening, the play will be repeat
ed this evening" Those wanting seats should
apply early as they are in great demand.

A STATE Work HOUSE Much has
been said and written both in favor Of
and IN opposition to, the project of es-
tablishing Werk House in this State
for the reformation and punishment of
convicted criminals, and as q bill is
now pending before the General As
ssmbly having for its object the estab-

people to give the matter their earnest
consideration. The condition of our
convicts and the expense Of their main
tainance has long been a subject of
much discussion aud solicitation aud
the Work House project has long been
advocated BY many persons as the best
means Of accomplishing the desired
ends 1t is argued by its friends that
house in which the convic;s would be
taught, and forced to work at, some
useful trade would accomplish the two
fold object Of making the prisoner aid
in maintaining himself and Of giving
bim a means of earning an honest live
lihood after his term sf Imprisonment:
shall have expired. which would be a
powerful assistant in bis reformation
On the other hand it is conteudsd that
Work House would prove an elephant
aud that the expense of sustaining it
would far out weigh any advantages to
be derived from it For our own part
we doubt not that such an establish
ment would be Of great advantage in
the reformation of criminals and in
other ways, but whether it would be
wise or expedient to attempt to estab-
lish such an institution at time OF
such general financial depression and
stagnation Of Business as the present is
a question on which We are not SO well
satisfied.
