LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM SMITHFIELD.
FA.)III.Y
A happy re-union andL surprise party
o..6iried at the house of Mrs. lif.stE A.
13nowx. in Smithfield, September 6, 1879,
It was the seventy-fourth hirthday.of Mrs.
Bnow.N., and her children concerted a sur- . 1
prise patty. It proved a complete suc
cess: One family after another returned
to the parental hoine withoTS, the secret`
being . mistrusted till the very last. Mo
ment. All her children, except the 014-
04 son; liev.;C. BROWN, of Miner, whose
absence was much regretted, wcr pres
ent. W.-and W. T. But vwx, Mrs. V.IIEI..PS,
Mrs. LANE, .of SMitllttcld, Mrs. WE'LLS
and Mrs. CASE, of Orwell, M. B. BROWN,
of Tioga, Professor C. E. BROWN, ''of Wa
verly, N. Y., (and his daughter-in-law,
Jlts. SCOTT,- Were present, with their fam- .
ilics, to th e number of fourteen grnfidchil
fiten,:3 great grand-children being, absent,)
with, other relatives invited, swelled the
'number to silty-six. One other descry
, ing special mention was a neiee of Mrs.
8., Mrs, LENA BOTHLEMAX, lyfld herloye
. ly lull. daughter, DOHA, of Illinois. ,
The tables were spread on the lawn,
where the grand old trees planted by the
Laid of youth in yeati; long emee gone,
. cast their shadows over what .nature and
art hail formed into beauty and substan:
tials of life.
The table's were neatly arranged, beau
tiful . cakes - in wreaths of flower's,J:bou
quets, and flower-pots, filled with full
hloom plants and edibles toonurnerou' s to
mention._ After feeding .the multitude
there'as "lvetres an - d
fishes" enough left
to feed as many More. The daughters
in-law, had charge of the tables, and did
themselves much credit. At two o'clock
' the gong was sounded; and the old
est and youngest child present escorted
their aged mother to the head of the ta
ble :whew she presided like a venerable
queen. • At four o'clock r. x., the oldest
men, B. TimmAs and A. CALIFir, chose
sides for a game of ball, and a more live
ly game of ball is seldom played. They
played the old game and kept no score,
s) bath sides heat.
After which the presents, which bad
been provided, were presented with
neat,and appropriate speech by Rev. S.
A. CALIFF. Mrs. B. was 80 much affect
ed that she could not at first reply. Chok
ing back her emotion, she thanked the
givers, and desirM that they would all
meet her in Heaven. All joined in sing
ing "Shall we gather at the River." W.
BROWN made a few timely remarks.
An Affecting prayer was offered by Rev.
S. A. CALM'. A closing and verrappro
pri:443 song, entitled "The Wayworn
Traveller," Was sung by six voices.
Thus the shades of evening draw nigh,
and the hour of parting is near while all
regretted that the parting hour came So
soon and that the day . was not longer. It
was truly an - oasis in the desert,. a happy
day not to be blotted from the memory
•of those present while they dwell upon
the shores of Time.
Mrs. B. thought it the happiest " day
she had seen in many years.. A lov:ug
mother is happy when her children are
near. 'May she live to see many birthday
re-un'ons, is the wish of all. X.
ATHENS ITEMS.
ATHENS. September ISM
We shall extent our notes to cover the
t.rritory Ithat comes under our observa
tion from over forbidden ground. Last
Saturday we were present at the Grange
pic-nic at Litchfield Centre, and though
disappointed in not finding Mr. Wimp-
HEAD, Lecturer of the National Grange,
we enjoyed the gathering. The weather
was forbidding in the morning, so the
company gathered in the spacious hall,
where, after a fine lunch had been partak.
en of,
, Worthy Master A. D. 2ilm sx called
the assembly to order, and introduced
Mr. W. A. ARMSTRONG, editor of the
Husbandman, as speaker of the day. Mr.
A. lives in Elmira, and is familiar with
all questifms relating to the Grange move
ment. Taking tip this subject he proceed
ed to show the necessity and justice of
• such a union among agriculturists, as
would relieve them of unjust burdens,
such as freight discriminations, unequal
taxation of property and combinations in
general, oppression of labor. His re
marks as a whole were good and listened
to attentively by a large audience. The
sun having come out the young people
erected a swing in the grove near by
while the older ones continued to listen
to short speeches from various persons
whose names I have not space to mention.
An earnest intelligent people make up
Highland Grange, and they have a reward
iu constantly improving socially and po
litically.
A large number of (people went from
this town and surrounding ones to
the Smithboro camp-meeting, among the
number was GRAN. DORSET. Partaking
too freely of camp coffee he became 'quar
relsome, and in a short time be net a jury
that did him justice as his broken ribs
and battered face will testify, if reports
are true. We speak the sentiments', we
bear from many of our citizens iu this
case, as well as our owl".
Can professorii of CimisT's religion jus
tify the holding of such meetings in sight
of empty churches and at this season of
the year? Are they not productive of
evil more than of good, considering them
as a whole? Does it not. smack of the
show to charge an admissibn fee on the
Snhhath?
Some of our citizens were called to Uls
ter to-day, sonic as witnesses, others as
prosecutors and defendants. Result some
of the parties gave bail for an appearance
at court. All (if this expense and ill-feel
ing over a couple of doge, neither of them
worth the notice of a canine caucus.
Messrs. 111cAnAtti S. lusts, proprietors.
of the cheese factories at Smithfield and
Ulster, 'report a better outlook for tit%
market, but light fail make, owing to the
drouth. They have the milk from abmit
one thousand cows, and market the pro
duct principally in New York.
Mr. IfontitT MeUtfliniN,'of Perrysburg,
Cattarhugus, and Mr. ions 31eAn.tm ? of
Farrsville, Chautauqua Countie, N. T.,
manufacturers of tan cheese, were visit
ing, friends in Ulster. They returned
hornelhiti morning.
Mr. Bi - itv e BENSON, formerly living at
Greene's 'Landing" is visiting the scenes
of youth and friends of old. He is now
engaged in teaching at Equiriac, N. Y.,
and is a successful teacher.
VAN ETTENVILLE
MR. EDITOR : This pleasant village is
situated on the IT., I. A: E. Railroad, 26
miles from Elmira,, and the G., I. & S.
Railroad, 15 mild; from Sayre. It con
tains about 700 inhabitants, who are wide
awake and enterprising, as her buildings,
public and pi ivate, evince. VanEttenville
has 4 dry-goods store, 3 grocery stores, 2
drug stores, 1 furniture store, 3 billiard
halls, 2 millinery stores, 2 dressmaking
establishments, 2 steam saw mills, I har
ness shop, 1 'cabinet shop, 3 .blacksmith
shops, 1 meat market, 2 -shoe shops, 2
barber shops, 1 hotel, 1 bakery, 2 physi
cians, 3 teachers, and , several churches.
The Star Extract works, recently.burned,
were a great auxiliary to the business of
the vilhige ; the works cost $30,000 and
were 'insured for $lO,OOO ; it is hoped
they will be rebuilt soon. This delightful
little town is lighted by line new kerosene
oil lamps, placed at the most advantage
; ens localities. Verily, the Vat E Itnites
do not mean to be wandering in the daik,
neither " will they put their light under a
bustel," - but on a lamp-post, that it may
-give its light to the villagers ; to the
stranger who stays within its precincts or
travels through its corporate limits. The
private residence are neat and tasty ;
stores and shops are broad and deep, be
hind the counters of which are found bus
iness men who know how to supply and
sustain stores that would reflect credit
to many a town of much greater preten
sions. Among its enterprising citizens
may-be mentioned one who has been.ladn-,
ored with more of trust, and for
'longer pet - Ws, tbanis generally bestowed
I nson a fellow-citizen : that of Mr. J. C.
Hamm:, who came to VanEttenville 43
years ago, and has been identified with
the interests of the placeever since, and. ;
has done, very much toward making it .
what it is. He has been . Justice of the
Peace for 24 years, with this term; Su
pervisor 2 years, Justice of 'Sessions 2"
years, Assessor 5 yeXrs, Trustee 4 years ;
during which time he bad personals uper
vision of the new and commodious school
building which itetlects so much credit to
the village and . people ; and during his
long term office as Justice, be has had
but one case reirerse . against his render
ing. Mr. LlANsgs should be'proud of his
record, and VanEtien 'Should be proud
that she has been so ably and faithfully
served. Her school building is modern,
exterior and interior, and N one of the
finest buildings of the kind' outside of our
principal towns. It is divided into three
departments, and schdol is conducted ten
months of the year. The belfrytOntains
a good bell and the Windows are protected
with blinds, while the children nave fine
patenti desks to sit, at, rooms for cloaks
and hits, and largo grounds and halls.

them. They may not all succeed in
the experiments, but if only pne do
ten succeeds, his.success is of practi
cal good to all farmers.alike and the
result of his experience and pains
and expense are free to all alike.
They have been to farmers what the

the short; aorn ; the mountain' sheep

Hints About Help._
Have a direct understanding with
the hired help—both those on the
farm and those in the .house—as to
service, amount of wages,Aime of
payment, hours of labor and the
usual duties to be performed, so far
as they Can.be outlined. - •
• Leave nothing unsaid, or undOne
at the beginning of the season that
may lead to misunderstandings, hatch'
feelings or the breaking of contracts
when in the midst of lard work.
In bargaining with them, do n4t
ask of help to promise things that
you know to be over-exacting. De
mand a full day's • work every time,
and pay for that . Widk promptly at
the time specified in your agreement.
Give help good tools, and exact
good usage and care of them:
Instruct men who handle seams or
, have charge in any way . Of the do
mestic animals of the farm to treat
them with kindness, feed them prop
erly itt, care for them as• if their
own property; and discharge those
who disobey such_ instruction, for
they are costing you money that th 4
do• not earn. Cruelty to animals is
an expensive indulgence..
Impress upon hired men and upon
your own sons the importance of
thoroughness in their work.
not alone how much they accomplish,
but how perfectly it.is'done as well.
•• Set a good table for farin hands.
his not cake, pies mid sauces, but
good bread, a variety of meats anri
plenty. of vegetables and fruit that
they crave, and that constitute the
most healthful and strengthening
diet.

- RYE IN CORN.-Mr. W. P..Belknap, .
of Goldfield, -lowa, makes a good
suggestion relative to sowing -rye in
corn before ,the last plowing. • We
have tried - the plan and can endorse
Mr. Belknap.'s idea: • "If farmeri will
now- sow one-half bushel of-, winter
rye to the -acre -in their corn- and
plow. it hi - the last time, it Will not
only:have . a tendency to choke out
the weeds that start up- afterward,
bittrthere will be no danger of dry
murrain among. cattle from eating
too freely of dry, stalks, as thejye
will remain green through the winter,
and will be eaten• by stock in prefer
,eneeto corn fodder. - It Makes a de 7
'sirable feed for- all kinds of stock,
and aids materially in the quality
and quantity of milk 'produced, be
sides, proving a saving of 'from one
-to two - tons of: hny for 'every acre
.soWOL—and last,, but not least, it ilf
cordi a green crop to plow under in
the spring, which renew and en
rich the land,"--/om Ro.vister.
