Come brothers ! don't be bashful. Some of you come near fr'ujMtmnj even brother Hubbard out of his propriety, though he come all the way from Orwell, expressly to attend the feast. You told him : "He would be foolish to attend, Ac." He came down from town late, and kept coldly back in his wagon, till urged to bike hold ; then, seeing our spanking new, frank and courageous brother Star (who had not even been invited) driving briskly up, and who had hurried all the way that morning from Troy, brother Hubbard plucked up courage ; particular ly, after noticing that 1 had a pretty heavy task to do the feast justice, all alone. He took an upper seat, as he thought, at the fens',; though he was constrained to take a lower, after finding the heavy, flat and wet clover even too much for him—stick ing badly in the teeth—mastication hard and bad. The feast was not so desirable, after all. Brother Star made friends on account of his new dress, and gingerbread fixings and courageous ways. But it was noticed that he was too much inclined to run to the right of the path for good morals. Brother Cayuga Chief sent his next friend to spy out the progress of the feast ; and, being urged, he came down from town at the eleventh hour. He, too. was disappointed after tasting the food ; mastica- tion hard and digestion bad. After trying tlieif own hands at the work, I think my three friends could make proper allowance for a want of perfect work on my part. You absent mowers missed a good opportunity for winning laurels. The dynamometer was lent to each of us, four Mowers : Star, Hubbard, Cayuga Chief and your servant. It was discovered that I ate the clover the easiest, though my mouth was 51 inches w ide : while Star's and Hubbard's were 48 inches, and Cayuga Chief's 52 i inches. Brother Buck-eye, though a wonderful brag, gave us the cold shoul der entirely, not having been heard from. Towanda, June '26. FARMER MOWER. tetSU 1 THE Quarterly report of the "Derrick Educational Club " were held at the Camp School House, on Saturday, June 3d, 1865. The people flocked from far and near, and tlie house and yard were thronged with listeners ! The meeting was called to order by the President, J. M. CRAWFORD, and the exercises opened with music, "Union, GOD and Liberty." A very able salutatory was then de livered by WM. SQCIUES. Muic, "Yes, the Boys are Coming Home." A declamation on the death of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, by WM. J. MITTEN, was then very attentively listened to; also one by LEVI SQUIRES. The exercises were then entertained by a song and chorus entitled "Victory at Last," which being very appropriate, and well sung, was receiv ed with great applause. An affecting essay was then read by Miss ANNIE OVEBPECK. Quartette, "The Girls at Home." At the urgent request of HORACE W. DURAND, he was permitted, by the Pres ident, to read a paper purporting to be edited by "JUPITER K. SLAM, "entitled The LifemryCidtiwtor, the contents of which the Society knew nothing. The first part consisted principally of poetry, bur lesques, local, and personal bits. Its reception however, was not very objectionable to the ' -Club.'' After the reading of said part a very soul-stirring piece of mnsic was sung by tlie "Glee Club" en titled "Ob, Wait till the Good Time Coming Conies!" A Lecture was then delivered by \V. J. HILLIS, on the "Hope of War," in which hisorator ial powers were nobly exhibited, and whose use of language was such as will some day assure him a place among the great. The trained reader of the Cultivator then came forth to expound JUPITER K. SLAM'S great literary talent, and we are sorry to say the second part did not meet our expectations. It consisted of ungentlemanly parodies, rude bur lesques, vile personalities, and slanderous contri butions. After enduring considerably more of the above abuse than we should, an Honorarv member arose and moved that the Club suppress any fur ther reading of the paper, which was warmly sec onded by many members, and carried without a negative response. J. M. CRAWFORD, then offered the following Resolutions : * Resolved, That we. as a society, tender Mr. J. I>. DURAND, our ret net ant thanks for his first production of his uncalled-for and ungentlemanly volume of The Literary Cultivator, and that we hear nothing further from the honorable gentleman until request ed. The Resolution was unanimously adopted and the " Cultivator" disappeared, to appear onh in the cornfields! The next production was a comic song and chorus, entitled "Oil on the Brain," after which Mr. JAMES E. KHORTELI. favored the audience with an Oration, and which he delivered most admir ably. Few young men of bis age and advantages possess such soundness of mind, intellectual great ness. and such flattering oratorical powers. His oration was listened to with untiring interest, for nobly did he perform the part of a speaker. After the above the audience was again enlivened by an other soul-stirring chorus, entitled "The Gay and Happy Suckers from the State of Illinois." After which we very attentively listened to an able and well-delivered valedictory by E. L. HILLIS ; C. L. STEWART, then proposed that we tender a vote of thanks to Mr. SHOBTELL, for his kindness in favor ing us with a speech, which was unanimously re sponded to. Then after the singing of a double quartette, "We Think ofThem Often," the Society adjourned to meet again at the appointed time. MOLLIE A. MITTON, S:e'y. —We, as a Society, wish the public to under stand, that the Literary Cuitimtor was edited, and the "Tempest in the Herrick Tea-pot" was boiled by Mr. J. B. DURAND, (who not being a member of the Club), but recent "New Orleans quill driver," is undoubtedly some or else thinks be is, and who had nothing else to do but slander his neighbors, and originate neighborhood gossip.

The reason is obvious. Seeds are left by the owners with merchants to sell on commission, often hut a small portion of them are sold, the remainder being returned, repacked and sent out again the following year, and so continuing until as a matter of course man of the seeds are worthless. In order to get the best and most reli able seeds I have bought a large stock of Robert Huist.of Philadelphia, a house whose reputation lor selling fresh and putmeed* is not surpassed by any in the country ; aud who never send out any seeds on commission, ami consequently not liable to accumulate old stock. I think a little reflection will convince any one of the advantage-of purchasing these seeds. I have many var ieties not to l>e tound auy where els ein town.
