IIistduian M.ui.AY hasn't yet giveu out
any letters of regret received by him because of
his Hidden departure from the naval service.,
TilK Department of Agriculture recently
purchased from a well known seed dealer a
bushel of clover seed for G.00. After taking
out the dirt, weed seed, etc. it was found that
the price of the genuine clover seed amounted to
96 per bushel.
No farmer will burn corn or hay in a stove,
in order to keep his animal warm in winter,
but he burns extra quantities of such materials
in the bodies of the animals when lie does not
provide warm cpuaiters. Heat must be procured
from fuel of some kind, and the auimals must
have the fuel or tall otl in weight and produc
tion. Warm quarters save food and prevent
diseases.
TiiKUK is every indication that Congressman
Malum will be ekfted Commander of the Grand
Army as many delegates from various parts of
the State and others in his interest will le
elected later. At the last election for this jmsi-
tion he wa second highest and Is, therefore,
justly entitled to the place next time lie is
ably equipped for the positiou ami the Depart
ment will make no mistake in selecting him as
its bead.
Statisticians announce that there were 118
legal executions in the United States last year,
of whom 71 v.ere. black and 47 white. The
number lynched was larger than the number
sentenced to 'death. The Philadelphia Record
thinks that the uncertauty of punishment has
much to do with mob violence, t specially in the
South the law is not gisvn an opportunity to be
enforced, especially w here the culprit is a colored
man. ' He is h'inttd down like a dog and shot
where lie is foiii.J. if the law was permitted to
take its course he would meet with his full
measure of punishment, while in many cases,
possibly, 'niiownl men would not suffer unjustly.

To lb Kepublicaim ot Snyder County :

Tjik partial failure of the potato crop in this
country has made the importation of foreign
jMitatoes profitable. Nine cargoes are now en
route in steamships from Belfast, Ireland, Prince
Georges and Inverness, Scotland. The tubers
arc said to lie exceptionally fine. Mmy orders
have been placed in advance for them. These
importations arc likely to keep the price of
M)tatoes from a material advance at least until
spring, when the supply may again grow some
what short.
TilK Republican standing Committee deserves
the commendation of every person w ho believes
in fair play. The assessments on candidates for
once are low enough to command the respect of
honorable men. The mcmltcrs of the committee
should get revenue enough to pay theirexpenses,
but the large dividends of the past simply pro
mote dishonesty in public office.
Is THIS remarkably kind and honey -lieartwl
weather to last? Is winter on its last legs
before it has trot it second wind? Iu fact, is
there to lie any winter? Not if the prairie dog
lias mystical lore. There are thirty of these
prophets iu Lincoln Park, Chicago. For the
first time in thirteen years mark the fateful
number they liae roused them from their
r.lecp in midwinter and come out of their holes;
conic out to eat instead of waiting for the frost
to come out, as their' custom has been. The
superintendent of the park and the guardian of
the prophetic beasts swear that the cold days
arc over and dune. The prairie dog doesn't
take the troub ' to wake up for nothing. Rut
s the prairie dog trustworthy? He may have a
genius for weather, but has he the shrewdness
and cool judgment of the woodehuck? Keep on
your furs till the groundhog comes.
