TUK3DAY EVENING, NOV. 7, 1822.
To-Daj's Election.
A very unusual degree of interest is
felt in the result of the elections of this
year, which is due rather to the impor
tant changes anticipated than to any
great uncertainty felt in the issue.
Both "New York and Pennsylvania are
confidently expected to decide, as Ohio
has done, in favor of the Democratic
parly ; and its followers are consequently
in high feather. It has been so many a
year since they have enjoyed a reliable
victory, that they are naturally greatly
elated at the prospect of the complete
one that awaits them. The interest
felt by the Republicans in the contest is
intense by reason of their apprehension
of. disaster. They are in the situation of
the man who is awaiting the verdict of a
jury with the best reason for fearing
that it is going to be against him. By
reason of the excitement in both parties
very little mechanical work is being
done to-day; and no doubt a great
many headaches tomorrow will make
that day also a vacation from labor.
This is one of the evils of our election
excitements. They are very demoralizing
things and it would be good for the
country if we' could have less of them.
There ought to be some methods devised
of taking the sense of the people that
will disturb the economy of the country
less than tho one we have. Xo good is
done by our yearly prolonged election
excitements. Intelligent citizens such
as ours are ready to give their vote with
a great deal less of drum beating and
vociferation than now accompanies its
delivery. We long ago suggested that
the best way of getting the voice of the
people would be by their division into
small sections of tens and hundreds,
choosiug in each section a single repre
sentative for a certain ierio'I who would
express by his own vote the sentiments
of his associates. Somewhat the same
idea has since been elaborated in a pop
ular magazine. There is nothing new
in it ; in fact it is as old almost as our
civilization. What is .needed is to ob
tain the calm voice of the people without
excitement or turmoil. Our present
method does not do it ; and some day
the excitement iucident to an election
may severely injure the stability of our
institutions.
The Labor Party.
The Labor organization has not at
tracted much attention in this contest,
but if it polls as many votes as its adhe
rents claim for it, it will be an import,
ant factor in the result. They say that
they expect sixty thousand votes. To
us it looks like a case of great expecta
tions on small foundation. -Where the
sixty thousand votes are to come from
wo do not see. They can hardly be ex
pected to be contributed- by-t he Demo
crats, who are too confident of the election
of their own candidate tof eel any impnke
to votefor some other.1 When a party is
strong, united and confident there is
small reason to believe that many of the
voters will leave its standard. The Labor
organization will probably get from the
Republican party the votes of all those
Republicans who sympathize with its
ideas; but these are by no means sixty
thousand. Republicans do not take
very strongly to the Democratic princi
ples of the Labor movement, aad be
sides the party cannot be expected to take
too manv ideas into its head at once. At
present it is particularly interested in
the matter of sustaining or upsetting
Cameron and the bosses, and the most of
its voter3 have-no inclination to consider
deeply the merits of any other question.
When the men who have led the party
are over-inrown ana me party useu is
blown up, the Labor organization will
have a good chance to gather in some of
the fragments to the support of its own
theories. There will be a general dispersion
of the opposition to the Democracy and
a subsequent conciliation of them.
What particular shape that concentration
will take it is too soon to conjecture, as
it is not to be expected for some years.
There will be an interval of "chaotic po
litical movements, and the final result
of them will be reached on the principle
of the survival of the Fittest. If the
Labor organization has any sound idea
which the victorious Democracy does
not appropriate, there will be a g)od op
portunity for it to graft them on the
opposition party of the future. In this
election it is going to be of very little
account, its enthusiastic friends to the
contrary, notwithstanding.
If you have not voted, vole. The is.
sue will not be divided by your vote, as
the result is going to be all on one side,
like the handle of a jug. Still you had
better take your place in line. It is the
duty of every' citizen to vote. Let us
know just what you think. If you
don't think, however, don't vote. If
you have no opinion you need not ex
press one. But if you like Senator Cam
eron's way of doing things vote, for Sen
ator Cameron's candidal e. If you don't,
but sympathize with those who think
that they have been too much bossed by
him, vote for Stewart if you are a Re
publican. If you are a Democrat of
course you will not ' hesitate, because
then there is no reason why you should
not vote for Pattisou. If you have "been
a Republican and do not like either
Boss Cameron or tiiose whom he has
been bossing, but who would now like to
do the bossing themselves, you can drop
your vote for Armstrong the so-called
Labor candidate, if you like the looks of
the creature ; or, if you want your vote
to courit, give it to Pattison to swell his
majority, which will not be less than
seventy-live thousand ; aud a good part
of it will be made up of just such votes
as yours ; that is, disgusted Republicans,
who propose not only to smash the ma
chine but to leave it.
Remember the polls remain open
until 7 o'clock. You have yet lima to
go and vote for Pattison. " , i '

The few houra that remain between
now and the time of closing the polls
should be utilized in hunting up the lag
gards and bringing them to the election
places. Hundreds of votes can be made
for Pattison if our friends will only bestir
themselves in looking after the laz? and
indifferent fellows who have not yet
voted.
Eliji G. Sxydee, our tried and
worthy member or tho Assembly, ought
to be sent back to Ilarrisburg by a rous
ing majority. Xo Democrat in the city
of Lancaster can afford to cast a ballot
that has not Snyder's name on it.
These can be no earthly excuse for
any Democrat who is able to be on his
feet and out of doors refraining
from going to the polls today and re
cording his ballot in favor of Pattison
and honest government.
The Democratic majority in Xew
York state, as predicted in this morn
ing's papers, is practically without
limit, some enthusiastic claims placing
it as high as 70,000 and even 100,000.
Pennsylvania will have ready a fitting
response to the greeting that comes over
the Empire border to-night, and it be
hooves every Democrat in the city of
Lancaster to have part in the glorious
work by voting for Pattison.
The freeman who neglect3 the oppor
tunity of proclaiming his liberty of
thought and conscience at the polls to
day is unworthy the name. Never was
there so grand an opportunity presented
to the people of Pennsylvania as that
which at this very hour is offered them to
plant a knock down blow right between
the eyes of the arrogant bosses who
would grind them beneath their heels.
If yon have been busy all day long in
your ollice, your store, workshop or
counting room, and have not had a mo
ment's time to run out to the polls, go
now when the heat aud burden of the
day are past and cast your vote. Go be
fore you eat your supper. It will count
just as much as though it had been cast
early this morning, and you can go to
bud with a clear conscience.
Fkaudulext tickets are thick as
leaves in Vallambrosa to-day. Republi
can tricksters and paid hirelings will
try to impose them upon unwary Dem
ocrats as the shadows of evening gather.
To guard against such a fraud examine
every name on your ticket before hand
ing it into the window.
Staxd not upon the order of your
going, but go at once to the polls, if you
have not already done so, and deposit
your ballot for Pattison and honest gov
ernment.
Whex i he polls close to night let the
ballot boxes contain every Democratic
vote in Lancaster.
To the polls!

Don Cameron is anxiously watckiug to

THE LAST DAY.
FINAL BEVIX1V OF THE SITUATION.
lha "Work of tbo Compa!gn at tho Different
Headquarters Tno prediction or the
(.eadera on the Kesult.
The Democratic workers congregated at
Gillin & Nagle's printing office, on South
Fifth street, Philadelphia, where the tick
ets were distributed and bomo away in
huge two bushel bags by trustworthy
members of the city ward and executive
committees. Chairman Harrity believes
Jiat Controller Pattison will carry Phila
delphia by a plurality of not less than 10,
000 votes, and predicts the election of the
entire Democratic county ticket by good
majorities. He has just issued a circular
warning the Democratic inspectors, super
visors and clerks of tho election to see that
the number is plainly written on every bal
lot and that no ono votes more than ono
ticket. The circular states that certain
Republicans have formed a plan by which,
in divisions where they have a judge and
inspector, they will not number the Demo
cratic stato ticket, although pretending to
do so, but will havo a Republican voting
after a Democrat whose ticket has not bsen
numbered, vote two State tickets, one
bearing the proper number aud tho other
having a number which should have been
placed upon tho Democratic ticket. "Once
in the box," tho circular continues, "there
is no ramedy until the ballots are to bo
counted, when the unnumbered ballots
will be thrown out by the order of tho Re
publican judge and inspector, and the
Democratic inspector will be charged with
having put them in the box."
Hengel's Last Three Cents.
" Hero is tho last of the Democratic
barrel," said Chairman llensel, mourn
fully displaying a dilapidated pockotbook,
containing a three-cent postage stamp,
' and I gues? that even this would bo
gonoifithad not beeu stuck fast to tho
lining. But we will raise money enough
to pay our debts aud we havo raised votes
enough to elect Pattison by a big plu
rality." Mr. Hcnsol professed inability to esti
mate to day's vote, but said ho thought
that Philadelphia's vote might possibly
range from 5,009 plurality for Beaver to
5,000 plurality for Pattison. "If any
considerable number of Independents
voto for Pattison," said he, " tho latter
figures will probably be tho correct ones.
If they all voto for Stewart aud develop
about tho strength with which I credit
them, tho Democratic aud Republican
candidates will leavo the city with the
honors about even."
Chairman McKce, of the ludopaudent
state committee, was not disposed' to Haz
ard an estimate of tho result of the elec
tion, but thought that Stewart would poll
150,000 votes.
" We have won our battlo, and that bo
fore our votes aro counted," said Colonel
William McMichaol yesterday afternoon.
" We have struck a deadly blow to boss-
ism, political assessments and the wholo
spoils system."
The Ono Hundred's Kspantatlnus.
Animated as wero the scaurs at the Ro
publican and Democratic headquarters, it
was at the rooms ot tho committee of ono
liuuilred that tho most work was transac
ted. Depitc the fact that tho coammittee
has mailed to every voter in the city a
complete set of state and county tickets
bearing the names of their candidates,
hundreds of voters culled for reform
tickets and stickers for the use ot them
selves and their friends. Tho supply
on hand was severely taxed. The cam
paign committee was in session for a good
part of tho afternoon. John Ficldi its
chairman, predicted the election of all the
caudidatC3 indorsed by the committee, but
was not prepared to estimate majorities
"I base my calculations," he said "upon
the 32,137 votes cast for Hampton L. Car
sou at the city commissioners' election of
November last. That was certainly a
purely reform voto. The office of she."
is so much moro important in itscharr.- z .
than that of a city commissioner, th de
velopments of the past year bav so com
vinced our people of the necessity of re
form and tho campaign ka been conduct
od with such vigor and under such favor
able auspices, that I shall be much sur
prised it General Hofmann fails to receive
a handsame plurality. Michael Arnold
will bo elected by ono of the handsomest
majorities ever recorded in Philadelphia
and the election of Mr. Rsx is assured."
Every Philadelphian whose name flavors
of Celtio organ' yesterday received au en
velope containing Beaver and Armstrong
stato tickets, with a circular containing
the article in the New York Tablat signoil
by the chairman and members of tho al
logod Irish Catholic Republican state com
mitteo, Araonf the recipients wore scveiai
Episcopalians, Methodists, Presbyterians,
Germans and one colored man, who last
ovening brought rheir circulars to tho
Timi officio. Tiiey wero about evenly di
vided politically between Stewart and Pat
tison. Extensive preparations aro being made
'or this evening's parades by both parties,
hut only one will turn out. The Repub
licans are very quiet, but thj Democrats
are making open preparations for their
parado should Pattison bo elected.
Complaint is mado of tho failuro of iho
postoffico authorities to distribute the
tickets mailed by voters by tho commiltec
of Ono Hundred.
Chairman Cooper, from early morning
until nearly seven o'clock Monday night,
presidod over the corps of secretaries at
the regular Republican headquarters.
There will be 775,003 votes pollod," ho
s.id, when asked for his estimate, " and
Beaver's plurality over Pattisou will bo at
least 18,000. Wo havo received reliable
advices from every section of tho state,
and I am satisfied that Stewart will not
pol 1 more than 40,000 votes say possibly
50,000, although that's an excessive esti
mate. Armstrong, the Greenback-Labor
candidate, will make a strong run in many
portions of the stato aud will poll from
10,000 to 15,000 moro votes than Stewart
and most of them will he cast by Demo
crats. In Philadelphia 1 count on 13,000
plurality for Beaver, with about 8,000
votes for Stewart. All tho candidates ou
tho state ticket will run at about the same
figures."

Tho election iu Connecticut to-day will
be tho clo.sest in many yoars. Tho Repub
lican stats ticket headed by General Bulk
elej't goes to the prdls under tho disadvan
tage of a very considerable disaffection
among the German voters who may gener
ally bo counted as Republican. Many
German societies havo in a body support
ed Waller, the Democratic caudidatc for
governor, on account of tho position taken
by the Republican party last winter in
favor of prohibition. Tho real strength
of tho German voto is difficult to esti
mate, but is suro to bo felt at
the polls. A prominont and clear
sighted Democrat said last night : "Wo
shall elect our candidate, Mr. Waller, by
.at least 1,200 majority." Tho speaker was
less sanguine than many. "Wo think wo
can elect General Bulkelcy," confidently
remarked a leading Republican, " but wo
expect a reduced majority, possibly not
more tnau i,oui or 2.000." When it is
added that the total vote of Connecticut is
estimated this year at 125,000 it will ho
seen that both Republicans and Democrats
aro in a stato or patnitu uncerteintv.

' The election to-day will be hotly con
tested in Delaware. The Democrats are
confident and the Republicans claim to
be confident also. The probabilities are
that the Democrats will carry the state by
not less than six hundred majority and it
may swell into ono thousand. Stockley
for governor wili probably lead his ticket.
The Democrats will, in" all probability,
olect fourteen out of the twenty-one mem
bsr of the House of Representatives,
while more confident Democrats claim
the election of the complete delegations in
all three of tho counties. The unpopu
larity of Harriugton has caused consider

have is by the use of a corruption fund.

aud a majority of them at a premium.
Early in tho evening that is, at a quar
ter to eight o'clock tho streets iu the

riages. I have seen many smashes and
mashes, but thM 'discounted the best and

with the lying in stato at the

aud the public demonstration this evening.

lloral tributes began to arrive. I may err
a trilh but if 1 do it is below the actual
figure, wheu I say that according to the
llorists' valuation the crosses, ct'owus,
wreaths, ships, baskets aud bouquets of

hardly refrain from the wish that smo

tho c.ipuuin, a kiud of hybrid, a blending
of tho pink and yellow, was tha favorite,
one exquisite lot of which cost i& liberal
donor a huudred aud fifty dollars.
Tho house at eight o'clock was a inas
of beauty. Every box was packed aad
every seat was filled, whilo tho groat space
back of the parquet aud dress circle was
thronged with men in evening dress and
eager for the appcaraucc of tho Lily from
abroad. The curtain row at a quarter
past eight and thu earlier segues passed
slowly aud tediously enough. Mm. Lang
try, ao Jlcstor, came on about halt past
eight aud was mado tho recipiout of au
idiotic outburst of applause beforo .sho had
spoken a word. Sho showed her pretty
teeth and smiled a plc.isauc recognition.
Her features in repose arc not shapely, her
figure is up aud down, her arms are homely
and her elbows arj kuobby. When ski
smiles she displays two rows of perfect
tcoth. Her voice is low, well modulated
and very sweet. Sha has iu iho first act a
series of domestic scenes aud au offer of
marriage aud at tho closo an opportunity
for a touch of melodramatic pathos, so
that it was quite possible to estimate her
artistic ability at an early period Sko is
decidedly not a great actress, but belongs
to the Agnes Ethel lovey-dovey school,
winsome aud attractive. I can cite a dozen
handsomer womnu ou tho stage, and iu
the audience there sat fifty who need net
dread comparison.
At tho end of the first act there were
repeated calls, after ouu of which an im
mense seven story flower pieco was sent to
Mrs. Langtry, as were others. Mr. Abbey
was brought before tho curtain and re
ceived a tremendous welcome. Oscar
Wildo mado himself conspicuous, as usual
and mado melancholy mugs during tho
cntiro eveniuc. The second act afforded
Mrs. Laugtry better opportunity for her
specialty of woman tenderness, and earn
ed a decided recall after a scene with tho
fcmalo villain of tho play, as well as a
double call before ;ho curtain, when tho
usual lloral exhibition was continued.
Tho third act was thoroughly enjoyable
and disclosed Mrs. Lantry iu an assump
tion of worldly sheen that brought down
tho hnuso Her delivery of the tag was
arch aud pretty aud ths applause which
followed it genuine aud hearty. Mr. Ab
bey feels entirely certain of great succoss

THE LEAF.
FAIKUUSIMSS IA THE BO.UK MARKET
Tho Week's Salem Over l.oao What to
Ilolng lu the JNew York and I'tilta-
delphia Market.
A very fair) business was done in this
market last week. Sales will foot up con
siderably over 1,000 cases, mostly of tho
'80 crop, this, added to tho sales of
two weeks previous, has taken over three
thousand cases off of market, which is au
indication of considerable business ; ami
although every effort has been made by
interested parties to weaken holders and
givo 'SO a bad reputation it can aud
will bo sold, aud manufactures say that
it is much better than they expected to
find it. Among tho sales aro one of
almost 500 cases.
Buyers have been more auxious to buy
than usual, while sellers aro not quite so
auxious. We know of ouo good sized lot
that then was a quarter of a cent per
pound between parties ; and when the
buyers went back to accede tho seller de
clined that off jr.
Tho crop of '81 is about all sampled, and
some Httlo is being sold. Low grades of
both crops aro in active demand.
In '82 we havo heard of no sales, but we
do know that all arrangements have been
made for one of the largest houses of Now
York to enter tho field about the middle
of this month, when they will buy right
along.
They expect to buy largely and if this is
dono several others will follow in their
wake, and we expsct to see a busy time
before the holidays.
Somo farmers havo commenced stripping
which will be speedily followed by others.
Tho very early is tolerably well cured, but
there is serious danger of its heating in the
bulk. The weather for some time past has
been unfavorable for late tobacco.
It is rumored that Bunzle & Co. are
marking largo purchases ot '82 tobacco in

On Saturday last H. L. Stehman & Co.,
bought from A. H. Hostetter, of this city,

N. V. Tobaco Journal.
Whilo the sales from packers to jobber
and largo manufacturers wero small this
week, the sales to small and middle class
manufacturer aro reported as having been
extraordinarily active. It shows a healthy
stato of affairs among this class, who, to
all appearances,, havo within, a recent
period been able to greatly improve their
condition. This trade, as a whole, docs
not require. low priced tobacco, as it can
not compete ou cheap cigars with the
largo New York mauufacturors. Whila
chis channel for au outlet of the great
mass of new tobacco now on baud seems
wider than over, tho threat observers,
the largo manufacturers, act as if they had
supplied themselves with tobacco for an
indefinite period. Whenever they show
themselves in the market they claim cither
to be looking for a few cases of something
extraordinarily fine aud cheap a few cases
only or they waut Sumatra. This Su
matra they consider their steady hammer
with which to break tho market. And it
is a powerful instrument. To the idiots
iu the trade who so far havo considered tho
iullux of Sumatra a drop in tho oceau and
who havo smiled at :.t: 1 . idicmlcd our hon
est efforts to couviucu t ho trade of tho dan
ger that this tobacco is, aud will bj in fu
ture, to tbcm asd to the culture of the
weed in general the dullness in tbo market
and tho independent attitude of tho man
ufacturers do not matter. Tho smallest
lull in tho importation of Sumatra inflates
thoir little understanding, and lustily they
bray that Sumatra is played out.
Wait till alter the first of January, gen
tlemen of tho leaf trade.; wait till tho 10
per cent, ad valorem duty is taken off, aud
you will see this 'brittle, strawy, good-for-nothing
stuff" drain the life-blood
from tho market.
The prospects for any remunerative sales
of '81 Pennsylvania in tho near future are,
wo regrot to say, very dark. Possibly the
few holders of some really choice and silky
stock may realizo something above cost ;
but, as a wholo, tho tobacco will provo a
disastrous investment tuanns to aumatra
and tho crack-brained indolenco of those
who instead of actively trying to stop the
importation of the tobacco by aiding meas
ures instituted by the ono or tho many,
have trcatod tho matter as thoy would a
ilea, A big-sized flea it is, indeed.
Tho sales during the week outside of the
minor oucs direct to small manufacturers
were as follows:
Crop '81.
Connecticut 300 cases, mostly Housa
touic ; seconds, 12 cents ; wrappers, 30 to
33 cents.
Pennsylvania 250 cases ; reported at IS
couts running. Interested parties claim it
to be medium tobacco.
Wisconsin 200 cases Havana seed, 14,
17 aud 20 cents.
Ohio 309 cases ; low grades, 5 to 7
cents.
Crop '83.
Pennsylvania 400 cases, 10 to 15
conts.
Ohio 150 cases, p. t.
Sumatra Active. Sales 250 balos; high
est price, $1:40; low and modium, 95 cent
to $1.20.
Havana Moderately active. Sale?. 700
bales. Prices very firm.
I'hiladelphhft market.
Seed Loaf Now life and energy seems
to havo suddenly taken hold of the loaf
trade, for our dealers and packers havo
placed quite a round lob of leaf tho past
week. Tho bulk of the sales prove to bo
'81, nevertheless the '80 crop camo in for
a good share ; the demand, however, is
confiucd to medium grade of loaf. A No.
1 wrappers move slowly, notwithstanding
they show quality, quantity and color ;
holders are stiff in price, which may have
something to do with it. The wrapper
crop is excellent. For the stock sold sat
isfactory margins havo been obtained.
Havana Movos vcVy regular at full
price. Yara leaf has made its appearanco
ou tho market, which has tbo smell and

Mr. M. D. Kttudig. who was ouo of tho

Mr. Linville, of Salisbury, Reported an'
uuusual growth of grass this fall. The
stubble fields have an extraordinary J
growth of clover. The wheat sown in
October looks well. Tho corn crop is
about an aveiage. He never saw the
corn to be put in the crib so green as
it was this fall, and ho was afraid this
would find a disadvantage. ' V
H. M. Engle, of Marietta; safd tybuibif V
clover was doitii; romarkably well. He
has mado young hay fro.mfl it, something
he had never "ddni before. It was a little
coarse, but the car.Mo appeared to like it.
The raiufall for last month was one
inch.
M. D. Kondig imported the rainfall in
his section to. bo t I 5 inches., .
Thcso reports were corroborated by
other members of the society.
Mr. Kendig inquired as to tho probable
tendency of the wheat market.
Mr. D.ifeuderfer said ho was of the
opinion that the price of wheat would re
main about as it is at present. Ho said
there could not beany argument which
would lead him to believe' that it would
not advauce in prico, for tho4 reason that
the late crop was larger thair It ' was Jbr
Eome years. The Chicago boanTof trade
put the crop much higher than it ever
was. '-'a
Mr. Englo asked when it was most ad- -visablovto
plow clover sod for corn, fall or
spfing? 'He said ho was of tho opinion
that the fall was tho best time, especially
if the season was warm and dryi-Ifcahonld
then be thoroughly cultivate! ia -tho
spring. '
3Ir. Bollinger's practice was fall plowing.
His reasous for fall plowing wero because
iu spring the 'ground waetdo wet, is a
generalrnlo ; the eorn alumM be thor
oughly cultivated in the spring ; this year
he was expecting 65 or. 7QoiU3fc)rls.(.pttr , -,
acre, although if was planted' Jn May: J '-
Mr. Resh advised manuring Heavily fn
tho fall, aud then plowing it thoroughly in
tho spring. He had tried this plan and
always found it to work well, especially if
there was a good set of clover.
Mr. Hoover said bo held tho same ideas,
to a great extent, athateld..by the gen
tleman who bad proceeded him. If he bad
level ground hn thought the plan would
work well, but if the land was sloping he
would not advise it. He was in favor of
fall plowing as a; rale, bqt ' lift ; Wss-of the
opinion that in the fall there would bo a
scarcity of manure, and then some of tho
land would not get any manuro'atll. 'He,
therefore, advocated doing it by degrees,
just as ho secured his manure.
Mr. Engle was of the opinion the' plam.
of oxposin g the plowed surface during tho
winter wo uld prove beneficial. 'The gen
eral sentiment throughont tbo country
tended towards surface manuring. Ho
did not, however, like to leave his manuro
exposed to the elements during the sum
mer season. He was in favofc of having
his manure iu good condition, then be
would havo a good cultivator and properly
apply it.
Mr. Bollinger said the only: objection he'.'
bad to top dressi ng in tho fall was that
then the manure would not as a rale be in j
proper condition. He thought he would
destroy tho insects, especially tho cut
worm, ifbt- would plow lo,the'fair.f S
Mr. Eby instanced case wfaere tho. OOt
worms Vruie not numerous in a tobacco
patch which had beeu plowed in the fall,
but Mr. Englo thought this case was an
exception.
Mr. Linville plowed in r the, sprifgj be- r .
cause ho then could havo hhj mannreiin J
proper condition." He was of the' opinion
that land plowed iu tho winter aud ox
posed to the elements, would become .very
poor. It may kill tho cutj worsi, bat h ,
thought it did nat pay in the end.
Mr. Engle stated that J, B. jQarber con
tributed several peciraen'of' the Kicffer
hybrid year, and. he moved that acommit
tee be appointed to examino tho fruit.
The motion was carried, and Messrs.
Engle, Cooper and Eby were appointed.
