to attend the feast in fat, wet, and wildly
clover on Towanda Flats ; with the prospect

that there is no other smooth ground in

L>-t farmer come on to rough ground and
•t' him a trial." " Any Mower will work
' Indeed I must apologize for my
ignorance and apparent discourtesy in the matter.
JZ-&" I now request said brothers, in connection
with all others of the family to be found in Brad
ford, to make a feast and invite me to it: selecting
their own time, (the sooner the better,) ground, (as
rough as you please,) food, viands, Ac. 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.

It is an established act that a large proportion of the
Garden Seeds sold in the country are worthless or nearly
so. 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. Also
Rutabaga, Beet and Carrot seed by the pound, and Peas
by the bushel.
