Mr. Cooper never saw the growing crops looking better. Wheat is vigorous, well set in the ground, having been favored with geed wiuter weather ; eats leek peer and tbe cause was putting In the crop in the wet weather; fruit leeks woll,espoclally pours and cherry trees. M. D. Kendlg reported the crops as premising. The tobacco in his section, with the exceptien of a few crops, ban beeu sold. Mr. Buckwaller,ef Salisbury, hed a simi lar report te make as te the growing crops in Ills section. AOniCULTlTBK IN COMPARISON. Calvin Coepor read an essay en "Agri culture in comparison with ether indus tries." Aftei denning agriculture and what made an agriculturist he said the abundauce and cheapness of the products of agriculture was owing te an evor produc tion abeve the demands of the usual con sumption. Therateofyield Is increasing In the elder settlements under the influ ence of better methods of cultivation, higher skill, and fertilizing rosteratlvos. In comparing agricultural with ether In dustries he said the yeomanry of our coun try complain of the low prices netting them in the great markets of the world. They possibly forget that ether commodi ties are, with scareely an exception, equally low. A bushel of wheat at Its market price te-day, buys as geed a grade and quantity of casslmeres or ether dress goods as when it was worth three times Its present value ; from the shoe dealer as fine feet gear for their equal value In corn, as when the latter brought 80 or 00 cents per bushel. It does net re quire mere potatoes at their prosent valu ation te secure necessary grecery supplies. He held that the farmer did net pursue the same caution in conducting his voca tion as men In ether trades of life. He ventured te say that there half a dozen farmers within is veice who could tell him pre- duce a bushel of. rye, or barley, or n bu beef, or perk upon average farmer does net go it: Where would the manufacturer, v numer- eus competitors in the field, without some knowledge and a careful calculation of the first cost of raw materlal, machinery and the skilled labor required, with his goods upon the market. The farmers te-day de net apply that careful, wise and prudent business calcu lation of the cost of their production as is done by the most successful men In ethor mercantile pursuits. Middlemen were tbe bane of the farnier. He sells his grain te the miller and ware house man, he te the commission man, next te the baker and thou te the con sumer. This applies net euly te the cereals grown. Nearly all ether produc tions pass through from one te three or four dealers, who make a geed living bo be tween the fanner and the cousumer of these necessaries te sustain existence. The organization of the grange a few years age, he understood, was te overcome this diffi culty, and while tliey get pretty close en the purchasing slde he did net moo any Im provement en the ether. The wheat production in Pennsylvania is 19,402,415 bushels, and at its prosent valua tion would amount te 14,590,803. If ene commission of five percent, could be saved te the fanner the amount would be $729,8 10; en eats the saving would be in commissions $502,021, in corn $910,430, making a total less te tbe farmers annually of $2,148,891. This nlone would materially assist in im proving reads. There is anether sotirce of expenditure largely borne by the farmer.and that is tbe feeding and maintaining of tramps. They confine their demands te the rural districts almost exclusively, where tee eften, through fear of their villainous countenance, house wives comply with their demands for feed rather than incur the risk of their dis pleasure. The essayist dwelt at length en the waste of the elements en the farm that preduce plant life, and said it Is only when the farmer can be educated te husband the re sources that are constantly being wasted from the stables of cattle sheds and barns that they will be able te successfully com pete with ether industries. Among ethor difficulties, in ills opinion, that the farmer bad te centend with were unjust aud oppressive taxation; discrimi nation in favor of long shipments by which the far West is brought Inte sharp compe tition; the want efa sufficiently pretective tariff that would make It lmnosslble te Im pert foreign products te our markets of all such articles that can be profitably grown here; forbidding the fraudulent importa tion of cattle and ether iive stock en the pretense that they are brought for breeding purposes. In conclusion Mr. Cooper referred at length te the pleasant features In the life efa farmer. While he cannot at all times step around iu blackened beets, clean, snow white cellars and cuffs, his occupa tion is the most ancient, honorable health ful and among the least perplexitig of all the trades of life. While there are seasons of anxious, tirosemo toil, these are mero than counterbalanced by the rcstive show ers that water his crop?, as he enjoys the sweet odors of vegetation, freshened by a midsummer rain. His crops grew whlle while the mechanle sleeps, his cattle fatten while the merchant's taxed brain dreams of fluctuations in the mercantile trade. His grain ripens, bis com grows, while the banker and broker is meditating upon the freaks of stocks en Wall street. FAVOIIIXO THE TA'ttlPr, Mr. Kendlg thought that a delegate should be sent te Washington, at the ex pense of the farmers of the ceiiuty, te leek after their interests iu the tariff bill new pending. j Mr. Dlffenderffer said a delegate could de ue geed, but letters from Individuals and resolutions by farmers' societies would go a great way in having the bill passed.

The meetings held at ether points In the county the past year were successful and Mr. Engle said he would endeavor te Inter est the farmers In that section In the com ing meeting. m ' THE PRISON GARDEN AND YAItD. Are of the Prettiest fa the County. Keeper Smith's Werk. Jacob S. Smith has been reneminated keeper of the Lancaster county prison. The miserable opposition te him was the greatest fizzle of the entire campaign, and it amounted te nothing. The vote received by the keeper is an evidenee of his popu larity. In the Sixth ward.thls city, where an effort wu made te cheat him last year, he received every vote cast at Saturday'a primary. The large yard of the prison fronting en East King atreet is te be Improved by putting in large flower beds. The prettlest spot about the place, however,' Is tbe garden and yard Inside of the big wall. Tbe keeper has had a large force of such convicts as he ia allowed te work busily engaged sedding, making garden, planting flowers, etc., for weeks past. Tbb garden leeks as well as any in the county, while the flower beds are very pretty. Last fall, by permission of the Inspectors, Mr. Smith had a small het-house erected. In this he raised vogetablo plants of all kinds and he new has mere than enough for his own nso.besldes the most beautiful flowers of all kinds. In the house he new has large strong and healthy tomato vines which will be bearing shortly. Along the walks, which are well kept, rows of sun flowers, geranlums and crysanthemums have been planted, while the large beds In which flowers have net already been' planted are belng put In order. In the course of a month there will net be a prettier yard In the city. The fruit trees all leek well, and the koeper thinks he will even have a geed crop of peaches. The prisoners el ways re re celve a liberal share of the fruit. These peer fellows, although detained against their wishes, surely have a pretty place In which te exercise themselves and many of them take as much Interest in and feel as proud of tbe yard and gardeu as does Mr. Smith hltnself.

AN EXPENSIVE HOLIDAY. One Day's Absence Costs Breker Quin tan aOO.OOO. Washington Quintan, a well known member of the New Yerk stock exchange and brother of Cashier Qululan, of the Chemical bank, Is missing under distress ing circumstances. Solemon Hanford, counsel for tbe missing broker, sent the following lctter te Secretary Ely, of the stock exchange,Monday : "On behalf of the family of -Mr. Washington Qululan, I beg te notify you of his disappearance, due, as the family believe, te mental derangoment. Frem the clerks In his office It Is learned that thore are outstanding contracts with ethor members of tbe exchange, and this notice is given te you In order that the par ties interested may take such measures as may be advisable for the purpese of pro tecting themselves." As a result of this notice 13,200 shares of stock, including Burlington AQuincy, Louisville &, Nash ville, Atchison and sugar certificates were bought in under tbe rules for his account It is understood that contracts for $10,000 mere were settled for privately. It is estimated that the difference which will be charged up against Quintan will net exceed $200,000, but that Is a pretty stiff bill te pay for staying away a single (lav. Mr. Qululan was seen last at the NeW Yerk club, where he lives. He wer.t out from that building about 2 o'clock en Sat urday morning.

Never before in the history of our market have such large transactions involving se much money taken place aa in the month of April just closed. At tbe least calcula tion 6,000 bales have been sold during tbe past menm, a roceru never oxcecaeu nerere, even In the rush efa fall season. And this boom will continue as long as the uncer tainty about the rate of duty will last. Buyets are net crowding our market te buy seed leaf; although, If the predictions of our farmers vouchsafed any probability of realization, tbe domestic leaf market should show the same activity as tbe Sumatra market. . Fer If the shutting out of the' Su matra would have tbe effect of enhancing the price of our domestic leaf, buyers would show the same eagorness in providing themselves with seed leaf at moderate prices, as they de with Sumatra. But the fact that buyers are pledging almost their last shirt in laying in a stock of Sumatra, wlille they wholly neglect te touch the domestlo leaf, proves mere conclusively than anything else, that the manufacturer Is net anxious at all about tbe domestlo leaf, and that he does net share In the least the belief of the termer, that be will have te pay higher prices for the domestlo leaf under an exorbitant rate of duty en the foreign leaf. This condition of our market ought te be the best indicator for Congress what policy te pursue in regard te tbe to bacco tariff. Affected by this condition of our mnrket, the third inscription held yesterday at Amsterdam was the most animated one the present season. Every sprig of Sumatra in the 13,000 bales put up, uvallable for our market, was bought right out at prices which will requlre a small fortune for a manufacturer te buy a bale. We are also in receipt of news that tbe European mar kets have been swept bare of every bale of old Sumatra sultable for the American trade, all In anticipation of the passage of the $2 rate. Seme lets of the new Sumatra have also found purchasers already In our market at $2.23. The Philadelphia Market. Frem the Tobacco Leaf. The goneral appearance of the leaf trade Is quiet, but the indications point te a steady growing increase. All I hat is neces sary Is te have the stock, for the truth Is that a considerable amount of leaf sultable for cigars has geno Inte the hands of manu facturers at a prlce net profitable never theless, at a profit sufficient te keep bank accounts en the proper slde. Sumatra sells splendidly. Light colors are preferable, but dark will soil, Havana holds the call firmly, mid Is sold very satisfactorily. Rcceipts for the woek 59 cases Connecti cut, 287 cases Pennsylvania, 33 cases Ohie, 57 cases Little Dutch, 401 cases Wisconsin, 02 cases Yerk state, 101 bales Sumatra, 323 bales Havana and 205 hbds Virginia and Western leaf tobacco.

Quite a number have gene up In smeke during the past few months aud another was added te the list en Monday evenlng. The building that was burned was a large stone and fratne burn en the farm of Jehn Mylln, In West Lampeter township, some distance east of the village or Willow Strcet. Tbe farm Is occupied by Mr. Mylln' ren, Aldus, who farms the place and tbe father lives soine distance away. Monday evenlng about G o'clock tbe occupant of Ibe farm was pleughing in a (told, eome distance from the barn, and his hired man was harrowing in another. The elder Mylln had geno ever te the farm for a lead of corn fedder. After leading his wagon he went Inte the barn, but then noticed nothing wrong. He started home, and when about 150 yards from the barn a boy catled his attontlen te the smoke that was coming from tbe building. Mr, Mylln quickly returned and found the bam en fire. A goneral alarm was glven, which brought the neighbors from all direc tions. Considerablo live stock that was In the stable was rescued, but It was Impossi ble te get anything else out, as the poeplo were obliged te turn thelr attention te the house, which was en fire several tlmes aud would surely have been burned hed it net been for the green trees between it and the barn and the thick walla of the latter build lng,which protected It te a considerable ex tent. Nothing could be done te save the barn, which was seen destroyed. The walls foil In wltli a tremendous crash.
