Greund-Xut Urenlng Again. Raising ground-nuts in this state is again recommended by these who knew nothing about growing them. It has often be.en tried, and every experiment we ever heard of was the same an utter failure. "We have tried it ourselves, giving it per sonal attention, and produced larger and finer looking nuts than we ever saw in the Philadelphia market. But when they were opened there was nothing there ! South ern Jersey soil might be adapted te grow ing them ; but the ground or pea-nut is a Seutern fruit, and these who attempt te grew them will have their labor for their pains. Raising ground-nuts in Pennsylvania, and in this latitude, is en a par with rais ing upland cranberries and whortleberries in gardens, and ligs upon the farm. Com mon sense, without going te the expense of experimenting, ought te teach everyone of its impracticability. Tobacco-Grewing. This is the mania, just new, in a num ber of counties in this state, and as it pro duces geed profits mere, it is claimed, than many of the regular farm crops Heme people who have written against the use of the "dirty thing," arc quietly grow ing it for ethers te use. Seme years age a person in Bucks county, who denounced it roundly, as he did many ether matters that did net square with his eccentric ideas, was the first te apply te us for a couple of papers of the " Havana " seed, and which was said te produce large and very profit able crops, for his own planting ! One question in regard te tobacco-growing may be taken for granted, te wit : that, like all ether products, whether of the shop or farm, there will sooner or later be a supply c qual te the demand, and a little mere, when any excess of profits ever ether re sults of labor will become equalized. Just new, though tobacco-growing may yield mere profit than most ether crops of the farm, notwithstanding that it is a gi cat ex hauster of the soil, it will net divert se much of the attention of the thoughtful farmer as te interfere with his regular routine crops, which he can produce with out having his conscience twitted with his work, as some may with tobacco. Loek te the Reads. Read graders are getting very much in use in the West, where factories for their exclusive construction arc iu operation. If they are geed machines they de the work well and rapidly and at se much less cost than the old slew-going method as quickly te run it out of practice when once tried. Geed reads arc a jrrcat blessing te man and beast. The traveler in passing along ever a fine read at once sets down the popula tion as far ahead in their civilization and social science te these of ether sections where the reads arc cither neglected or re garded as of secondary importance in the routine duties of every day life. We have noticed several instances where there has been much ellbrt and contention te have a new read opened, and a geed deal of money expended in getting the matter favorably through the county court, which, when opened, is allowed te remain, in view of the petty cost of it, only half graded, the gutters only half made, with stumps and rocks lying almost in the centre of the bed admitting of barely room enough for a single vehicle te pass. The gutteis, tee instead of being made straight ami ser viceable, are made te run round these ob structions, which causes them te dam up with weeds, dirt, .Vc, se astotluewthc water upon the read bed, washing it into holes, which prove dangerous te horses and wagons. Transplanting. In transplanting trees the care should be gin in lifting them in the nursery. In the hurry of the season for the transplant ing season is sheit sometimes the pro per care cannot be given in taking them up Hence, it is the ber-t plan, where it is al lowed, for the purchaser te dig up his own trees. They should then be protected against the sun iu hauling them home, and should be "hceled-in" that is. the roots te be covered with earth until the holes arc dug anil ready te receive the trees, and then set as the holes are prepared for them. The holes should be dug ide enough te re ceive all the roots spread out, except per haps a few et the larger ones, and deep enough and a lew inches te spare, which should be loosened well se that the tree may stand .a little deeper than it steed in the nursery. Where the tree has grown rapidly in the nursery and the branches are long, we re commend pruning, whatever may be said by some te the contrary. The soil with which the holes are filled up should be rich, whether it be the soil taken out or brought from elsewhere. Let the ground around the tree be pretty firmly pressed, and left rather bowled, and then mulch with rich stable-manure, which should be repeated once or twice through the season it the weather should be rather dry. It is net advisable te water much, if any, around the tree when planted ; but where the soil is rather dry it should be mois tened before it is returned te the hole. Land-Owning in Europe. Reading some of the editorials iu agri cultural periodicals about farmiug and farmers iu Europe, we see that the idea is held up that it is next te impossible for a peer man ever te become able te own land. On the contrary, they say that, even what he earns by his daily labor is wrested from him by his rapacious landlord. New it is very true that laud is dearer in most countries of Europe than it is here even in the Middle states ; yet it is also true that no nation in the world are there mere land-owners for the population than in France. Germany, Austria, Italy, Helland and Belgium come next. In Ireland it is mere difficult than elsewhere te bwn land ; but it is principally for the reason that the Irish are less thrifty and ambitious, and have been se long se as te allow what land they did pos sess te slip out of their hands into the hands of ethers who were able te purchase it. Whisky-drinking has had most te de with this. The Irish, it is true, are an in dustrious people, and barring this weak ness would de well enough if the land and tenant laws were all that they ought te be. It is probable, however, new that the Liberals are in power again, that some thing will be done of a solid, practical na ture in their behalf. It is difficult te guard against famine. A few years age here in our own country Kansas, Xebraska, &c. the farmcis suffered terribly from the attacks of the potato beetle, grasshop pers, &c, and required help te be sent te them.

HOUGHTON'S Cheap Millinery and Trimming Stere, 25 K Queen St. L'eusrr A.CCOVXT. We further beg leave te report te the honor able court, that from the fact of the auditors last year having culled the attention of the court te the heavy costs for cases heard and disposed of before magistrates et the city and county, the auditors were desirous et knowing whether it had had any effect en these officials, se as te show a reform in that direction, and en examination we find that the costs in these cases were $2,936.77 less during last year than for the former, which shows a gratifying re re lerm, and the auditors hope that these officials will continue in keeping down these costs as mucn as nicy pessiuiy can. The annual costs of public printing for the county came also te our notice. These ex penses are heavy and, in our opinion, might be reduced. In examining the accounts or the treasurer of the beard et prison inspectors of Lancaster county, we discovered that the treasurers did net charge themselves with all the money re ceived from the county commissioners- and prison keeper, which accounts ler the auditor having a balance in the hands of these treas urers, and en examination of these and ether prison officials we find that it has been the cus tom of the prison treasurers te draw some times mere money from the county treasury than it required ler the payment of their monthly bills. This ever-plus, as admitted by the prison officials, was placed in the hands of the prison keeper ler his convenience in buy ing revenue stamps, whenever the salesman at the prison could effect a sale of cigars ; the allegation being that had they net received this ever-plus they would have had no money te buy these revenue stamps. The auditors would further report that from the quantity and quality of the previsions con sumed at the county prison, they cannot resist the conclusion but that there is a leak some where, but just hew te find it the auditors think is beyond their ingenuity. The difficulty seems te be the lack of a proper system of accounting between the prison keeper and the beard of prison inspectors. That the prison keeper with the power of disposing of the large quantity of goods manufactured by the inmates should lall se lar behind the necessary funds, as te require the inspectors te leave balances in his hands ler which they are cliargcd by the county treasurer and directly responsible te him. argues a system of house keeping which reflects en all parties connected with this institution ; destroys that system of checks and vouchers by which alone the peo ple can be protected, and leaves a loophole iiem which te escape the closest scrutiny of the accounting officers. If the prison cannot earn enough money te pay for its own revenue stamps, without requiriug the county treasur er te de se, the public ought te knew it, and prison labor might be made mere remunera tive by hiring it out under a svstem et con tracts, as is done in ether localities, when the public have become tired of the experiments of running reformatory and corrective institu tions en a non-self-supporting basis. Theauditersjind from an examination erthe bills renderedjthatever $800 worth of meat has been purcaseu at prices lar above that allowed te be paid ler the meat furnished te the prison it is a lair inference that the meat is used by the prison family. It se, there must be either great consumption et meat or else great ex travagance, as this sum, en a carelul calcula tien, would supply the table of an ordinary hotel with net less than twenty pounds of fine meat per day. It must be remembered that this meat bill does net include the ether large bills iorpeultry. While upon this subject the auditors would further beg leave te call atten tion te heavy bills of dry goods, cliarged te the prison keeper's personal account, and net shown te have been used outside of the prison family, amounting in the aggregate te $800. The auditors likewise find ablUefiSOchsrse I .for horse hire by the prison keeper, besiues wuatneisauoweaier jceepingms own nerse. We, as auditors, cannot tee strongly advert te the loose manner of accounting which at present exists in prison circles, especially the STOCK OF -:e:- FINEST CLOTHING HOUSE IX AMERICA. LAIUJES. Line of freedom with which the treasurers of that in stitution pass ever the Items which should fortify their accounts and deal only iu bal ances, which the public when these accounts are filed according te law for inspection, have no mere means et verifying than if no accounts had been filed. The auditors, however, iu conclusion are able te give the taxpayers the gratifying in formation that at least some of the unneces sary appendages et the prison have been lop ped off by the new inspectors, such as matron, at a salary of $SU0, ami cigar boss at a salary of $650 ; and ether retrenchments are premised. We have also inquired into the finuncial Standing et the county and find that the bond bend ed indebtedness en the 1st of January, 1880, was $3GS.971.7J. with a balance in the treasury of $03,787.75. The bended indebtedness of the county en January 1, 1879, was $310 76t;,99, with a balance in the treasury of only $16,107.70, which snows mat tne ueui ei me county is en the decrease and that the present beard of county commissioners has managed the county affairs economically. In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands und seals this 19th day of March, 1880. JAMES COLL1XS, F. G. MUSSER, F. K. CURRAX, Auditors jajiviCAZ. S' TOP! STOP!
