And now Prof. Hastings is letting on
to be a farmer. It is wonderful how the
Grange acts upon some of these fe'lows.
Hastings even thinks to change bis name
.end make it Haytack as it would sour.d a
little more agricultural. Haystings—or
Haystack as he would prefer to have it
is a farmer in the sense in which a woman
in court tried to make out bcr son a farmer
by swearing he Lad worked upon the farm
all his life. A mischievous lawyer there
upon asked her what farm work her son
Lad performed infhis first year, her reply
was, "he milked.'' So with Prof. Hay
stack; he miiked in his first year, and on
the strength of that be claims now to be a
farmer.
A few days ago a monster rattle

belonging to other Synods. Quite a large
number of spectators were present from
different parts of the county, to witness the
proceeding; and participate in the religious
exercises. On Sunday mcrning the Luth

for publication, hut was not handed iu.
At the conclusion of Deputy Rhon. s
address, Capt. J:i.■ A. Hunter, of llalf
iuoon grange, was introduced as the next
-leaker 11® spoke of the Origin of in®
patron* of husbandry and their object*,
and the necessity of farmer* paying closer
I a'teat.on to the advancement of ikricul-
I turn their own inter,-t>. and upon
j public oceaiun* bo able to do their own
[talking w ilhout being under the neco-ity
of calling upon men of other proJessi.t:*
to do Ih i* for them Farmer* should en
deavor to make their farms less irksome to
their son-, and make agriculture more at
tractive to tl;eat. He then dwelt upon tile
good intentions of the Granger*, and that
they did not intend to interfere with or
encroach upon the right* of men of other
occupation*. The captain'* address wa>
plain, straitforward, and full •>( sound
*®n*c and well delivered, and his remark
were frequently applauded,
i.The hour for dinner hav ing arrived the
assembly broke up into scores of little par
ties, each one spreading its cloth upon the
grass, nature's table. and upon these were
tfl all li t' gvd things that ttie appetite
could crave. We suppose tight or ten
acre* of tha grove were thus dotted like
atari in the Brinancnt. Pinner over, with
many baskets full left, the member* of the
di So rent granges were then formed in line
for parade, headed 1y the BoaLburg band.
wi>h the Pinegrove band in the centre.
The marshal'* heading the procession
wore Col Weaver and Oao. M. Boa 1. AH
the granger?. Indie* and gentlemen wore
their regalia, c mpoaed of sash. pouch,
and badge*. The procession > about
halt a mile long and marched down the road
a ihort distance, with fl*gs and banner?
Some of tie mottoes upon the banner*
read as follow* : "Arouse from your leth
argy, ye *onj of toil." "Inessential* uni
ty, in con-essential? liberty "We aim
to promote the interest* of farming."
The procession returned to the grove,
and occupied the *caU fronting thespeak
er? - stand, when the Declarer n of Princi
pe!? was read by lloarv Keller.
" Col. James F. Weaver, of Milesburg,
was the next speaker. After a few prelim
inary remaiks, be pictured the power of
the Granges, with over one million voter*
in the United States. To illustrate- -take
the late presidential election between
(•rant and Greeley—had this element cast
its vote for Mr. Greeley. Grant would have
sustained a woeful defeat. But they do
not wish to bring their power to bear in
favi r of parties, but their object is to bird
good men together, rot as reformatory
movement, but to bind the agriculturists
lof the South to tho<- < f the North and
harmonise their great interest*. They
should embrace each other and *tand to
gether us bretheren. The grangers, said
the Colonel, are the friends of education,
and it is desired to have every farmer t>>
be an educated man. and haTe a thorough
knowledge of the soils they have to eon?
tend w ilh. By the education of the farmer
it can be shown that they are equal t > any
intellects in the land. This is our object
at:J why we met Ivgetht-r, other brnncho
are educating themselves up to the I ighcr
standard, and we mut do the same. The
abolition of an immense hoard of middle
men, who eat up the profits of the farmer
in the sale of machine* and implements—
we think we can do without that cU-. and
are able to purchase for ourselves. They
shall dupe us no longer, and will be given
an opportunity to make theiuselve useful
in some oth.-r cajmcity. We are not wag
ing war u[x>n other industries—only look
ing after our own interests. We are not
at war with capital so long as it nets its
part aright, and only oppose it when it
becomes oppressive. So with railroad and
other monopolies. We are the friends of
railroads so long as tin y do not oppress us.
He tin n gave the matrons soma good ad
vice—rot to buy so extravagantly and
give themselves too much to the changes
of fashion. Legislation, he said, was too
much in the interest of money and too little
for the interests of agriculture. In the
days of '7d there used to be farmers in
Congress, bus now you can look and see
more darkies than farmers in Congress.
We wish to be fair w ilh the mechanic. We
desire to equalise labor, and to pay as
much for skilled farm labor a is paid to
the mechanic. Why should the tnan for
his one hour's bruin work receive five
dollars and n farmer only one dollar for
twelve hours hard labor? The Grange
has nothing to do with party matters, and
every man is left fr*-e to vote as he pleas
es. The Colonel was frequently applaud
ed during his speech.
After a vole of thanks to the speakers
and for the ue of the grove, the a.;embly
was dismissed.
All, granger* and outsiders enjoyed
themselves, arid went away highly pleased;
the order throughout was good. We
think the crowd must have numbered up
wards of 3000.
lxctOKNT*.—We had about fifteen invi
tations to eat dinner but got stalled after
accepting two.
The county press were honored with an
invitation to a seal'upon the itand. The
only papers rcpreiented were the Centre
Reporter and The Republican.
Old women and old men were in the
parade, and full regalia.
The event whi the largest affair of the
kind ever held in this county, and will be
long remembered.
The Tuten Republican man looked as
though he had eaten eleven dinners at
the granger pic-nic—poor fellow, we were
right glad he once got a square meal, and
you can look out for some improvement
in his paper next week. When we last
saw him on the ground, he was trying to
uegotiate with a "feller from the country''
offering to send him his paper six rncnths
for his wagon-tire which he wanted to put
around him to keep from "bustin." He
soon after left the ground, musing to him
self
May thus the Grangers often meet,
That J may at their pic-nic* eat.
A lady from near this place, at dinner
time, placed her parasol against a tree,

squatted down by same tree, complacently
