The improvement of the rivers {ouse was called together, and from the i i the places of pine fences along the ex- posed portions of the railroad where some harrier must of necessity be main. tained against snow drifts, The fences that have been relied upon have to be 8 feet high and cost about $800 a mile, and need constant attention and repair. Fur thermore, the farmers carry off the boards, and the stoutest oak posts snap like pipe stems in a Shoraaghgoing prai- rie gale. Trees answer all the require ments much better. The white willow, which grows to a highth of twelve feet in four years, has been found to be the cheapest and best, though the box elder cottonwood, and green ash will serve. The soil;must be prepared by harrowing, however, and prairie soil ix often so poor as to require two or three years’ work. even then it is said it is cheaper to use live fences than dead ones. These free fences are constructed by planting two parallel line of trees on the side of the tracks exposed to the strongest winds and one line on the other side, we A IA Sm Gov, Dutler knows how {o write fast day proclamations, as well as messages and addresses, In his call for a “fast” on the 5th of April, he recommends that the people meet in their usual places of wor- shipand implore the forgiveness and blessings of God, and that unpecessary 'abor and recreation be suspended, and the Governor especially exhorts that ministers of the Gospel on that day to “feed their flocks with the divine Word, and not to discourse upon political and other secular topics which may divert the serious thoughts of the people from humble worship of the Father.” wn lh ofc fp. — Down along the Ohio river, where the late floods have washed ibousands out of house and home and left men, women and children destitute of every thing, hunger is adding to the misery of all. This makes us think how fortunate it would be for those people were they within easy reach of a few such provi- sutset it was evident that the spirit of fun was supreme.

The hairman of the commerce committee made a grievous error when be backed as me hour debate and consented to a mod ication. The opponents of the bill were ick to take advantage of his apparent weakness, and among the latter was Jr. Van Vorhis was speaking against { and urging that a quorum was deall ie the bi rapted by Mr. Page. The New Yorker, ho was standing in the centre aisie, de- lared with emphasis that he did not propose to be ball-dozed by a mmnle- whacker or a stage driver from Califor ia, Considerable excitement prevailed dur- ing the delivery of these remarks, and this was heightened when Messrs. Page and Van Yorhis were selected an tellers on the point of no qnoram. Mr. Page stuck histhumbs in the arm-holes of his vest and strutted down to the space in front of the Speaker, where Mr. Vorhis, with a scowl on his face and his hands in his pockets, awsited him. Neither gentlemen attempted to shake bands, as it is eustom, bat after the count was complete Mr. Yan Vorhis was seen to shake his right band vigorously nnder Mr. Page's nose, at the same time caress ing his muscle with his leit. The opposs ing chiefs, however, failed to come to blows, as hundreds hoped they would, and Page, who had scored a victory by a presence of a quorum, walked slowly away. House did not care to ta'k business, but adjourned without fixing any time for iehnte on the river and harbor scheme. -——— INGERSOLLISM IN COURT.

Thus do we see the kindly dispensation of nature which will prevent the old gentleman from securing and holding all the real estate and mowveables of the country. In a late address the Rev. E. E. Hale says: ‘The Declaration of dence should be framed and hung up in every school-house in the UnitedStates.”’ in this connection is not clear. A gentleman residing at Hardin Springs, Ky.. who has lived to the ripe old age of 101, wholly indifferent to a certain scriptural injunction, has just taken out a marriage license and will endeavor to make for lost time. A colored woman has been sentenced to sixty-six and two-thirds days in the work-honse of Nashville, Tenn., for stealing a brick pavement. She" used the material to build a chimney in her house. Cora Ridgway, a Portland, Oregon. schoolgirl, aged 11 years, was fined 5 for battery committed on a 9-year old girl, a classmate. The defense was that the defendant was justified, a= the complainant had insulted Cora’s moth- ar. The British cover 3,075,000 square miles.

A man named Walls was arraigned in a Cincinnati police court a few days o charged with stealing the cushions, the signal cord. the ice cooler and the danger lantern from a railway train. In consideration of the fact that he left the engine and track, he was let off with a 826 fine. It is an old and familiar adage that ministers’ sons never amount to any- thing. These old ad are being knocked in the head one by one. Gov ernors-eloct Cleveland, of New York, and Pattison, of Pennsylvania, are ministers’ sons, and President Arthur's father was also a clergyman.

Luny Jumbo now resoriz to dreams into. To get out, the other week, the ponshoss organ sent out to a friend to come in and advise him to stop; we have a say about that. He next wads dled in to fight over an old abolition fight be had against the Democrats, and called in an Ohio rad to help him--that left him in a worse stew still, He then for three weoks fought the defunct Aa ronsburg Berichter, makiog himself the laughing stock of his neighbors, by come ing ont at the little end. Exhausted, he takes to dreams, gays he is just like Goy, Curtin who also came over from the republican par- ty. which we now point out : down a first class appointment from a party in power which would give bim anv office, and went over to a party thst had no offices or power. This was disin- terested patriotism. Now how did the pon-hoss editor do? why he left the democratic party for spite because it de- feated him for ’squire ; then after going over to the enemy he also deserte them for spite because there he was de- feated for Treasurer. Now he plays the part of the toad in the fable of the toad and ox—blowing himself np to appear like Cartin—oh my! The pon-hoss man started out com- plaining the Reromrrer never complis mented him. For this neglect we com- plimented him strongly upon the im- provement it was to have his paper talk about the Rerorter, and let out his sausage and pos-hoss literature, and descriptions of his tours to Coburn Bta- tion, Lock Haven and other villages. Now he complains the ReroeTER never visited his shanty, Well, how could we be expected to know there was a paper in his town when the court itself decided his was no paper? besides we ui not have time to stop over long enough to make any visits, to three disinterested persons of stand- ing and would name Gen. Jackson, Hen. ry VIII. and B. O. D. What conld be more fair? The pon-hoss apostie keeps winking about some of our business affairs with subscribers, &c., of which he knows all, of course, and to which the great snd good Rerorrer does not object. Now we know nothing about his business affairs, but gathering from others we would ask when a fellow sends out $25 to $40 pack- ages of stationery with his honor, and the packages are returned to him with. out his honor, what kind of a business man would that be?
