AGRICULTURAL REPORT
, The monthly report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for February shows
that horses have increased slightly in
most of the western States, but very lit
tle in the middle and eastern, not
enough to keep pace with the increased
population. The Atlanticsea bound
States, Nebraska, Kansas wa,,Mne
sota, Wisconsin, and the ,Pacitic coast
States exhibit the largeskincrease..That
the numbers are not equal to the demand
is shown . -by the general though elnall
advance in prices. The increase of mules
is also - slow in comparison with the
rapid- aggregation of, boptilation, and
the range Of prima , appears to be high
er than last year. The return's of oxen
and other cattle point Ito a poositive de
crease in New Jersey, Maryland, North
Carolina, Florida, Texits, Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the diminu
tion: amounting to five per cent. in the
latter State. Iu match cows a reduction
is reported in Texas, Ohio and Illinois,
and in some of the` Southern States. -A
general increase in the prices of cattle
is reported. The reduction in the num
ber of sheep appears to, be general, the
exeeptions being Rhode island,.Tennes
see, Missouri, Minnesota, Kaniias and the
Pacific States. The logs cannot be much
less than ten per cent. In some States it
is placeifat one-:hundred or rriorn. The'
prices of, sheep have; declined Slightly in
certain sections and advanced in others.
In districts where merino stock monopo
lizes sheep walks the decline is general,
and in some seederto heavy. The re..
turns of swine oorrobtorat‘those of last
fall, showing in thenomparative numbers
of fattening hOga a'. very decided-reduc
tion, amounting to fifteen per cent. , in-a
large portion of the Ohio Valley. Prices
are largely increased, in many States
twentY-five or thirty per cent., and not
unfrequently fifty or sixty per cent. Au
inspection of the tables will show mark
ed advance, the ;resultnot 7; only of a re
duction in numbers, but of : a speculation
naturally caused by such a` State of facts.

NEW BRIGHTON, March 12, 1889:
SECOND. DAY'S SESSION.
The forenoon session was occupied in
the degree work. Five persons receiv
ed degrees. Instructions were given, oc
cupying the forenoon session. Every
thing passed off pleasantly,
The afternoon session opened as usual,
G. W. C. T., S. B. Chase in the Chair.

ing of the minutes, to the election of
Diatrict officers for the ensuing quarter.

Brighton.
W, V. T.—Miss Mollie Carter, of
Rochester.
W. Secretary—E. H. Alexander, of
New Brighton.
W. Treasurer—Joseph Alexander, of
New Brighton.
The Committee on Resolutions report
ed as follows. Passed seriatim:
Resotved,. l'hst we are,' If possible, more
thaia ever: convinced of the magnitude
of the evils of intemperance, and the
importance of an earnest and untiring
prosecution of the temperance work. t
Beaolved, That we still adhere to the
doctrine of-total abstinence from all that
would intoxicate, as the only true tem
perance. _
Resolved, Teat we deplore the fact that
so"many good citizens,•and • even church
members, stand aloof, and neglect, or re-:
fuse to assist 118 in this work of saving
the rising generation from this monster
evil,'which is :destroying its by
thousands all over the land.'
Resolved, That' we believe it to be the
duty of every Christian tv be a total ab
stainer from intoxicating beverages, and
to unite with all lovers of humanity in,
our, effort to put away this terrible evil
from stud* us. , •
' Besolimd, That while. We believe' that
every church ought to be strictly a tem
perance organization, and do all they can
,in that capacity, yet the magnitude and
urgency of the work demands that every
Christian should also work with the
Temperance orders, and thus help to use
every means to restore the fallen and
rescue those in danger.
Besolved, That in our opinion no one is
justifiable in standing aloof from the
temperance work 11D011 the plea that it
will injure their. business. We must
sacrifice when necessary for the good of
others. *
%Rev)NO, That we- recommend the or
ganizing of Bands of 'lope in. the SEM"
bath Schools in'all the churches.
-- - -
Besdlved, .That we deplore the use of
domestic wines on any and all occasions,
as being productive of serious eVils, and
warn all triothers not to allow any such
poisons a placeln their cupboards.
Resolved; That, all. -laws licensing the
sale of alcoholic liquors'as a beverage are
pernicious and wrong and should , be re-,
pealed.
.Resolved, That while we will continue
the use of moral suasion, and all mild
means to reclaim the intemperate, and to
prevent men from engaging in the liquor
traffic, yet past experience has convinced
us that we need, and in order to succeed
must have legislation lathe shape of pro
hibition,. •
• •
Resolced; That we respectfully b u t ear
nestly request the Honorable Court 'of
Beaver County to grant no licenses to
sell liquors when they can honorably re
fuse to do'so. •
.Reaolved," That our G. W. C. T., Brother
Chase, is cordially invited to visit us
again at his earliest convenience.
Reaolved. That we return the thinks
of this Convention to the New Brighton
Lodge for -the hospitable manner in
which they have entertained its mem
bers during our session.
