T. 00111) .' ‘ I have read with much satisfaction and pleasure your editorial comments . in the Graiige Visrron, on the speech % of the Hon. N. A. Balch, made at the , recent Pioneer Meeting at the village of * Augusta. In view of the fact that our present court system is the work of lawyers, and that so enormous is the expense at- tending litigation, so long the delay in t briiiging to trial a contested case. and , so extremely uncertain the result. that men who are so unfortunate as to need the assist.-aiiee ofa court of law and a brace of lawyers to protect and enforce their rights, are practically left without remedy .l was surprised that any man, ( veii a lawyer,) could be found who would zittenipt in a public speech to en- logize the work of the legal fraterni'..y law makers. Our Courts have come to be regarded as almost an unmitigated public iiui- saiice by men who have given the sub- ! ject any attention, especially those who i have had any experience by way of liti- 5 gation. .

I hope you will persevere in the 3 good work until a public sentiment is i aroused among all classes of the com- , muiiity (lawyers, of course, excepted), 3 vhieli will lead to a so much needed re- 'orni in our present judiciary system. I am aware that it is much easier to pull down an old worthless building than it ts to erect a substantial iiewone; it is miicli easier to criticise and point put the evils of our present Court organ- /atieiii than to frame a new system whicli will be saliitary in all its provis- ions. 11 S_\’SiL‘ll1 will require the counsels and work of our wisest nien—men who have no interest in giving shysters employ- ment at an enormous outlay tolitigants and burdensome taxation to the people. One of the worst features of our pres- ent system, is the right of appeal ex- tended to every quarrelsome, litigous man who may have a petty suit in a .i u’-‘tice’s court. The little frivoloiis, foolish quarrels occurring between neighbors which so often result in contemptible lawsuits before a Justice of the Peace, should never be permitted to go to the Circuit Court for solution and settlement. And they seldom would go there if the liti- gants were not encouraged by these very law;/crs who are so ncce.s.<-ru',y to ere/'_y work of ’/‘€f07'l2'l. In nine cases out of ten, it is safe to say, appeals are taken to evade justice and not to obtain it, The vanquished party in these petty suits feels ugly and nialiciousaiid resorts to an appeal, not to vindicate his rights but to gratify his animosity and ill will towards his an- tagonist. A very large pi'oportioii of the time of our Circuit Courts is occupied in the trial of these appeal causes. The time cut and the expenses incurred by the parties are enormous, and the taxable costs which the people have to pay amount to five times as much as the fi- nal judgments rendered. The party who has the most money and enjoys the luxury of a lawsuit and is willing to pay the largest sums to fee attorneys is very apt to win hissuit, no matter what the merits of the case may be. As in ‘ war, so in litigation, the party who can furnish the most “sinews of war” al- most iuvaria.bly triumphs. Men are often robbed of their proper- ty aiid rights because they have not money to defend them. And our pres- eut Judicial system, while it affords them no immediate redress permits a large expense to be saddled on the peo- ple in the attempt to prevent this rob- bery. ’ , Is not this a very great evil'.’—-A terri- bly expensive one, and really a disgrace to our boasted civilization? One of the greatest protections which poor men, and persons of small means could have would be, as you have sug- gegteci, not to permit an appeal in any casein whicli the judgment in the court below is less than one hundred dollars. This would relieve the (Iirciiit Court of :1 great burcleii and an alinost intolera- ble iiiiisaiice, and enable it to tiaiisact To originate and put in operation such '1 GRANEE Vi§1_TOR. if I the business which properly belongs to it without unnecessary delay and ex- pense to the parties interested and to the tax payers of the county. In cases where great errors have been committed and gross injustice done. let a new trial be granted before another Justice and by another jury, or let the appeal be taken to a court of arbitration as the appellant may prefer, and thelast trial should be a finality of the matter in dispute. The granting of a new trial would ob- viate the difficulty so often expressed, that ignorant and unprlncipled magis- trates would make outrageously unjust and wicked decisions in cases wherein they may have some private aiinimosity to gratify against parties who may have a suit in their courts if no appeals were allowed. How is this reform to be secured ‘.‘ \Vould it not be a step in the right di- rection for the several Granges in the State, and for the farmers generally, and all other people interested in this meas- tire to put the question directly to the candidates for the next Legislature, “ \Vill you vote for a law, in case you are elected. proliibiting an appeal of any case from a justices’ court to the circuit wherein the judgment is less than one hundred dollars, providing in the same enactment for gr‘-aiiting a new trial before another justice and by an- other jury, or by arbitration, if the par- ties interested so elect, upon a proper showing that great errors have been com- mitted and gross injustice done on the former trial, and provided, further, that a second trial shall be a finality of the case. If any candidate should refuse to aii- swer such a question atlirmatively let every man who favors the measure re- fuse to vote for him. In my judgment such a measure is so necessary, reasona- ble and important that I should feel un- willing to cast my ballot in favor of any man who will not pledge himself to sup- port it. H. Ciii:i.:T-i«:A, VVASH’l‘ENA\\‘ Co., ‘i .iVIICJ—I., August 1-1, 1878. J" By previous arrangement, this mom- ing, August the 14th, the Patrons of Husbaiidi'y assembled at the warehouse building they have lately erected in Chelsea, to celebrate this day by a liar- vest feast. and return thanks to Him “from whom all blessing flow,” and join in social recreation, while thankful for the great bounties God has bestowed on inan’s industry. The substantial and bountiful provision provided and spread for the six hundred who sat down to dine, did honor to the Grange and its lady patrons. Great taste was displayed in setting out this inviting feast. The attention paid to the invited guests, and the harmony and order which seemed to pervade the whole arrangement, was due to the untiring energy of the Coin- mittee in charge, whose every effort was seconded by members of the Grange. \\'e all wish to see this social feeling manifested by Patrons spread and grow, for it promotes a feeling of unity in all societies, and must in time unite man into one great Brotherhood.

At a little past three We repaired to the tent erected by the tem- , perance club, to hear the Hon. J. ‘V - Childs, who was listened to with mar1_<€d attention for one hour. After reading the “Declaration of Principles” adopt- ed by the National Grange he branched off‘ into asurvey of the future prospects of the agricultural interests of the Unit- ed States. Sweeping the broad horizon of this vast domain, lie sketched to the mind’s eye the teeming millions of wealth lying in prospect for the future sons and daughters of this great com- monwealth. How vast and incompre- hensible to the uneducated mind this fiiture must be; but when grasped by the coiiipi-elieii.-iive miiid of Bro. Cliililfi. and explained on a rt-asonable and phi- losophical basis, the truth of this IW03‘ 5 pective view stands out solved before us all. The immense transportation of the great \\'est, as it will be, was comment- ed upon iii a manner that carried con- viction to every heart. Science was described as the great lev- er that maii could apply to remove the obstacles that stand before him in his advance to subdue and master the ele- ments, and to carve from nature’s store- house those blessings that €l](‘.0l.np:lS.<~ civilized life. Man, with his expanded mind, grasp- ing the great problems in nature, and sweeping the starry firmament so re- mote that the mind becomes lost in the immensity of space, is only picking pebbles on the shore of God’s great uni- verse. Let me say that in the last twenty years this republic has surpassed its ri- vals, and in her practical application of science has outstripped the world. \V'ith our immense territory, internal communication and geographical posi- tion we are destined to be the great coni- mercial center of the globe. By casting an eye back on the past one can see three grand stages of humanity: Asia is the cradle, Europe is the school where mans’ youth was trained, America is the theater of activity, and brings into action all his forces and perfections as a man. Now, fellow laborers and Ur-angers, this picture is before us, and this pros- pective view of the future swells every true and patriotic heart with emotion. The farmer stands foremost in this great work, and we will alljoin in one accord, and say God speed the Grange .’ CURRA.\' \VHl’l‘l‘.H<)Ul.l> inc .\ U.\LLl.\'<;. No other calling affords so many conditions for good health as farm- ing: the out-door life, the broad contact with nature in her purest and most delightful forms, the uniformity of hours of labor and repose, the ab- sence of that feverish haste and de- pendence upon the 1'-.iithfulness of othcrs,found in so many other callings -—all conspire to make farming one of the most healthfnl of all callings. Farmers as a class should be health- icr and longer lived than any other class. Yet the statistics show that the minister, the lawyer, and the doctor outlive the farmer. 'Iliere are many causes for this, and I shall make no attempt to place them all before you on this occasion, but shall take the more restricted field of llE.\ LTHY Tin-: HOME AS P.ELA'l‘l£]‘r T0 Hl-J.\L'I‘lI. I know I am treading on dangerous ground when I attempt to criticise your manner of life, but I am satisfied that in too many homes in this State the conditions of healthy existence are continually violated. I have not taken up this subject to flatter you, or tickle your vanity. I. propose to speak “right out in meeting,” and give you a fair warning that I shall mercilessly tread on your corns every chance I get. I make this plea for healthy homes, especially for the sake of woman. .\lan’s life is in the field; his days are spent in the broader, grander, and more diversified life significately nam- ed om.‘--doors. Far otherwise with woman : the house is her field, and her life is there. If the house is the scene of (lisconifort, the occasion of ill-health and dragging disease, there is no escape for her except in she grave to which she goes all too soon 1 F3.I'iIlei', when you come, hearty and bluff from the field, and find your wife nervous, worried and sick in her unhealthy home, think ten-_ derly, pityingly, helpfully of the help-meet God has given you. ; house. _ ‘ should be selected which will require "swell of ground,—not a hill which TI.-IE GRANGEI VISITOR. THE SITE FOR A HOUSE. Much depends upon the site for a Some snot of natural beauty but little work of hand to make it perfect. The farmer has an excellent chance to select a beautiful site for his house, because he has the whole farm to choose from, and there are few farms that will not afford one beautiful spot. The citizen cooped up in his seven by-nine lot has little chance to gratify his love of the beautiful: most city hoards seem to , think there is nothing so beautiful as ‘ a Hat pancake, and they proceed to % degrade the surface of the ground to their own flat level. But in the couii- try such bad taste has but little hold : the exquisite rounded form of nature is unma1'red by the level of the engi- neer and the scraper ofthe contractor. Choose for your site some gentle you must wearily climb,—:ind let the ground flow off with a gentle declin- ation to the south or southeast, and with a cheering outlook over some portion of the farm. Avoid all swamps and low grounds, especially to the southwest and west, because the prevailing winds will then bring ague and malarial diseases to your house. If you must support arrog- pond as a part of your establishment, place your -house as far as possible from the pond. Of the creaking of frogs it may emphatically be said, “ ’Tis dislrnice lends enchaiitnient to the view.” THE soII.. The ground on which a house is built should be free from stagnant water, both the surface soil and the sub-soil. If you do not know that the sub-soil where you propose to build is dry, dig down six or eight feet and see if the hole remains dry for a day even if no drouth prevails. I cannot insist too strongly on the necessity of a dry sub-soil. The elab- orate researches of Pettenkofer of Germany, of Bowwich of Massachu- setts, and of other sanitarians, reveal the close relation between the preva- lence ofconsumption, and low forms of fever, and the approach of the water-line to the surface of the soil. You cannot build a healthy home on awater soaked sub-soil. If the soil and sub-soil are not free from stag- nant water to the depth of six feet, make them free by thorough under- drainage. “ But underdrainage costs money.” True; and funerals are ex- pensive! You cannot afford not to underdrain if you value life and health. THE ASPl:‘.L"I‘. Few persons in planning a house sufliciently study its relations to the sun and winds. The aspect cannot always be chosen, but when it can, the house should face the south or the southeast. Some of you will look surprised when I speak of the house facing southeast, and are ready to object that “ it will not stand square with the compass.” Do you know that we have become a. fearfully right- angled people ‘i Our roads follow the section lines and run north and south, and east and west; and a man will place his house right with the road and square with the compass, or per- ish in the attempt. How unhome— like to plant your house so as look right into the road, so that every" tramp and passer-by can peep right. into your rooms! There is no law to com- pel you to do this; if you will make a gently winding avenue leading from the highway to your house which is screened from public view by a. few evergreens, you may have your house front any way you please. How much more homelike the result with this modest seclusion from the pub- lic gaze I The liv27n_r/ rooms should be on the eastern sicle oft/ic house, because they will then receive the first sunlight in the morning and be in the shade in the afternoon. Even in summer time our mornings are often chilly, but the afternoons are very hot, the hottest time of the day usually being about 2 P. )l. The eastern rooms will therefore be agreeably warmed by ‘the sun in the morning and yet be, pleasantly cool in the afternoon; the reverse of this is true for rooms on the western side of the house. The vorst exposure for summer heat is to the southwest. The eastern side of the house also shieled from violent winds. this State the most violent winds. and the coldest winds in winter, blow from 3 the southwest; while the winds from the south and cast are always gentle and mild. west are the most uncomfortable, summer or winter; in summer an oveii, in winter an ice-house. But place your house as you will, you want to shield it from the wrath of the cruel southwest wind, and this you can do by planting a screen of evergreens on the smithwest and west sides of the ll()ll>j(‘. .\l.\'l'l‘Il’tl.-\l..\' l-‘Lil: Tlll“. HHl'.\,'l-I. The material of which a house shall be built is usually determined by considerations of cost and supply. The most usual materials in this State are wood and brick, A brick house costs more at the outset, but it is more durable, and may cost no more in the long run; it is less liable to destruction by fire; it is cooler in summer and warmer in winter than a house of wood. I think a brick house afiords better conditions for maintain- ing health,for the reason that the walls are more permeable by air. You will be surprised to learn that air will pass througha solid brick wall. By suit- able arrangements you can blow air through a solid brick, and dry mortar will readily allow the passage of air through it: but wet brick and wet mortar arrest the passage of air en- tirely, which is one reason why wet walls are unwholesome. I want to verify some of these state- ments, and for this purpose I repro- duce Pet-enkofer’s experiment. I have here a cylinder of dry inortar, 3 inches in diameter, and 5 inches long; this is made of the ordinary lime mortar used by masons: the sides of the‘cylinder are in -.de imper- meable by air by means of wrappings ofgummed paper; the ends are cov- ered by these tin caps; in the center of each cap a tin tube is soldered, by means of which I may blow into one end of the cylinder, while any air which may be blown through the cylinder will be gathered and brought to a point by the other tin cap and its tube. I blow into one end of the piece of mortar, and hold the tube at the other end of the mortar near the flame ofa candle, and you will see how readily the flame is swayed, or even blown out, showing how readily the air passes through dry mortar. Let me vary the experiment, be- cause I want to make it so simple that all of you can try it, and yet so accurate that every one will get some useful knowledge from trying it. I use for this experiment the common clay tobacco pipe : to make the results quite striking I aim to concentrate the stream of air that issues from the pipe ;_ I do this by heating the end of the pipe stein nearly red hot, then (lulckly Pressing and working the stem_1nto a piece of old putty till the end 1s hlled, then pushing a fine sew- ing needle through the putty in the pipe stem : drawing the needle out, 1 leave a fine tube inside of the pipe stem just the size of the needle, and IS; In: Rooms facing the south? _ __ - _-_—~-v—v~—--—j—————_.______‘ ‘*1-*\ thus securing a. beautiful blowpipe jet. Indeed, most of our blowpipe jets at the College are made in just this way. Now fill the bowl of the pipe half full of wet sponge or Wet tow, asa backing for your mortar; have a quantity of well-tempered mortar such as is used by masons for plastering, and with a case-knife fill the rest of the bowl of the pipe with mortar, “striking off” the iuor. itar at the surface so as to fill the "bowl even full, and leave a smooth face. Lay aside your pipe in some warm place till it is completely di-v, when it is ready for cxpcrimeutini;. It is very little work to prepare‘;. dozen such pipes, and this will enable you to try a great many experiments which are very suggestive, and bear fimportant testimony on many sub. jects very intimately connected with health. One of the most important facts is that air will readily pass through l dry plaster, but will not pass through wet plaster. I place my mouth over ,=the bowl of a pipe filled with dry lmortar, and blow gently through in l and readily deflect the flame of a can. l dle by bringing the stem of the pipe incur the flainc: by increasing the :force with which I. blow I can even iblow out the flame; I dip the pipe ' into water so as to entirely wet the mortar, when scarcely it particle of air can be made to pass. This shows that a wet wall will prevent the pas» sage of air and thus arrest what I call wu-ll rc.~'pz'ru./iolt. The amonnt of air that will pass through this diminutive surface is small_,but when we come to apply it to the dimensions ofa room, it becomes large. The experiments of Professors Marker and Shultz show that the passage of air through brick walls is by no means diificult. The difference of 20° F. in the temperature between out—door and in-door air will cause a passage of about eight cubic feet of air each hour through every square yard of surface male of brick. That air readily or rapidly passes through a plastered wall under natural condi- tions of temperature may be seen by looking at any plastered wall which has been for some time undisturbed by calcimine or whitewash; the position of the beams and joists behind such a plastered surface can be readily determined by the broad bands of comparative white surface, the lath. by the whitish lines crossing the joists at regular intervals, while the spaces between the lath containing only plaster, are seen by the narrow and dark lines between the lath. The reason of this becomes evident upon reflection. The plastered siii-face while permitting the passage of airy arrests the passage of all so id l)0dic.~', and thus acts the part of a filter to the air. The air holds a fine dust in suspension at all times, which dust will be filtered and left behind, when this air passes through a plastered Wall: where the air passes mob} rapidly, the most dust will be depoS}- ted on our filter, and where less all passes, a corresponding less amount of dust will be deposited: the solid beams and joists prevent the escape of air from the plaster, and 1511115 limit the amount passing through the wall surface next them; We lath will to less extent p1‘6V9”‘ the passage of air, while the SP3“ between the lath entirely fillefl with plaster will most readily perm“ the passage of air. Thus a glance 3‘ our wall filter, especially if it has been long in use, will enable us to dew‘ mine the position of all the frame work of the room, concealed by the plaster until revealed by the telltale dust. You thus see ‘now admirably 9- P1” tered wall is fitted to make the W3 5 of a healthy dwelling, because it 19”’ mits the free passage of air, without casusing draug/its or unliealthy cur- rents. Let us see how this wa1l-res- pipation may be affected by some common practices. I am often asked, what is the influence of wall paper on the healthfulness of a room Z Let us test this question by seeing whether 11,- will readily pass through wall paper, lput a piece of wall paper over the bowl of this pipe and try to blow air through it; you see the tlame is only very feebly swayed, but ifl use this filter paper in the same way I readily blow out the flame. The sizing used to lay on the colors of wall paper, fills the pores of the paper so as to nearly prevent the passage of air, even when we_ blow forcibly; but with the additional paste used to fasten the paper on the wall, the papered wall becomes im- iervious to air. Over the plastered mouth of this pipe I have pasted some thin wall paper; it is now dry, but you see that I cannot blow the least air through it. A paper-ed wall is a .»-t/-a7:,_c/lcclwall sofizr as iI.-all-respz'rcI- (Ion is conccrnecl. \\'hen a wall is milcimined, the whiting and coloring matter being laid on with a solution of glue, the wall becomes impermea- ble bv air. llere is a pipe, the month of the bowl filled with mortar, and this covered with calcimine; it has been thoroughly dried, but only a minute trace of air can be forced through it. The same is true of a painted wall. Here is another pipe tilled with mortar ; I have very thor- oughly whitewashed the exposed face of the mortar, applying two coats of whitewash; yet you see I can blow air throught it nearly as easy as through rough plaster. The tidy housewife looks with con tempt upon whitewash, “because it gets dirty so quick.” While she feels proud of her calcimined wall, “be- cause it keeps clean so long” The one gets dirty because it breathes, the other keeps clean because it clues not breathe. The dead baby‘s fingers, when once washed, keep clean, but the live baby's fingers forever find the dirt! A painted wall is still more imper- ineable by air. A stuccoed wall or “ hard-finish ” permits the passage of air very much the same as whitewash. A house must breathe,to be healthy, just as truly as an animal; but a wet Wall, a papered, a calcimined, or painted wall, is a. strangled wall. If we could build our houses of materi- als utterly impermeable by air,— make them of boiler plate, rivited steam tight,—we would speedily die oil and give place to a race having more sense. The skin on every part of the body must breathe, though we have a special apparatus for respira- tion on a large scale; just so a healthy house must breathe through all its walls, while yet provided with :1 special apparatus for ventilation or breathing on the large scale. Every garment we wear, except those made of rubber, gives ready passage to air; through the thickest overcoat I blow the air to extinguish my candle flame; through this rubber boot-leg I sway the flame, while through this thick buckskin I puff out the light instantly We hear much of the hygienic value of perforated buckskin: it would be equally sensible to perforate a wire sieve! Every garment must. be pen- etrated and washed by air to preserve health. The house is only a huge overcoat! Let us return to brick as one of the materials in house-building. The brick may seem to you too close and compact to allow much air to pass through it. As laid in the wall one- fourth of the space is occupied by mortar so that a. considerable amount Of air may pass through the mortar, ‘\ THE GRANGE ‘VISITOR. but the brick itself permits the pas- sage of air, as will be seen when a dry brick is plunged under water when bubbles of air very freely escape. An ordinary brick will absorb 1;’-L ounces of water when plunged for‘ some time beneath water: a hard- burned brick will absorb 9 ounces of water. The brick in absorbing this quantity of water expels a correspond- ing volume of air: each brick when dry, therefore, holds from one-half to three-fourths of a pint of air; if it can hold so much air, it may allow the air to breath slowly through it. Let me call your attention more particularly to this capacity of brick to hold water. Suppose you use 50, 000 bricks in building your house, how much water will the green wall hold‘? On the one hand the brick does not become water-soaked in the wall, but on the other hand the mor- tar contains a large amount of water, of which We have taken no account. Suppose that we average it by esti- mating that each brick in the green wall will hold half a pound of water; this will make iiimc than 100 barrels of water in the green wall, all of which must evaporate before the house is fit to live in. For a long time the windows of such a house will weep from condensation of this evaporated water,just as the family will weep if they move in too soon. \‘»'ood is permeable by air in the direction of the grain, and some kinds of wood very readily permit the passage of air from end to end. Here are two cylinders of Wood nine inches long by one inch in diameter, one ofblack ash the other other of red oak, By applying these brass caps to the ends of the cylinder I can readily and easily blow the candle flame as you all see. This I do with each kind of wood. The air readily passes with the grain, but does not pass laterally, else the air I blow in at one end of the stick would take the short cut through the sides of the cylinder instead of passing through its whole length. In our use of wood for enclosing a house, we always ex- pose the side of the grain, and in this direction very little air passes, es- pecially when the siding is covered with paint. In the walls ofa wooden house the air does not filter through the wood, but passes through the cracks between the boards, thus causing disagreeable draughts. The walls ofa house should breathe, not blow. There is a method of building com- ing into use which is not very expen- sive, and which promises good results, viz: building a frame of wood and veneering it with brick, or enclosing the frame with a four-inch wall of brick. ’LTo be Concluded in next Nunibeia] Value of Metals.

(‘-RANDMA‘S HOME. MY M.-SUD H. BUZZELL. The rippling noise of the running brook, As it steals along from some shady nook, I hear from my window day after day, As it glides along to the wide, wide bay. The old apple tree that stands on its bank, And the rustic bridge, with the half worn plank, VVhere little feet have run to and fro, Through summer grass and winter snow. The little feet to large have grown, The boys and girls have strayed from home; Grandma is missed by the open door, Her sad sweet face we’ll see no more. They‘ve borne her away from her home by the lea; A fairer land, she has gone to see; But her guardian presence watchful still, At the dear old farm under the hill. Bangor, Aug, 30th, 1878, Worthy Bro. Cobb .- Please may I come once again to the Household Department of the Vis- ITOR and correct an erroneous impres- sion made in my article entitled “ Our Girls “.7” Veroncia. calls attention to the sentence in which occurs these words: “The only way to do away with this great evil.” It was a mistake in the phraseology, not the idea, as I hold no such opinion that there is but one way and the way I named the only way, Now this goes to prove what is often said, “that we often say what we do not mean and mean what we do not say.” I thank you, Veroncia. for call- ing attention to the mistake, flrst, be- cause it ought to be corrected; secondly, because it has brought out another phase of the subject. I hope that I am not a one idea per- son, that only looks on one side of the question,bnt would like to see it brought out in all its bearings and examined from every standpoint and written and talked upon until good results should follow, and our girls and boys become what they should be. noble and pure in their lives‘ Right here let me say, I had written an article about Our Boys at the same time I wrote about Our Girls, but I had occupied so much space in the VISITOR already, that I did not send it, and the piece only found its way into the paper read in our own Grange, and I then sent it to a friend to help her with her paper to be read in another Grange. It had the same ideas running through it asV'eroncia’s,though worded differently. I don’t think we are very far apart in sentiment, though perhaps many miles may separate us. I would extend to her my hand as being in sympathy on this subject-, as I like the ring of the senti- ments she sends forth in a late number of the VISITOR. MYRA. PONTIAC, No. 283.

Bowman, Chaplain of Johiistown Grange No. l‘27,which occurred at his residence in the township of J ohnstown, County of Barry, State of Michigan, July 25th, 1878, were adopted by the tlmiige at a recent meeting : VVHEREAS, It has pleased our Heavenly Fath- 91‘ in His providence to remove by death our Brother and fellow laborer, Henry 1’. Bowman, therefore, Resolved, That in his death our Urrnnge has lost an etlicient worker, the community an in- dustrions and enterprising citizen, his iamily is wise counselor and his wife a kind and ati'e«-- tionate husband, Resolved, That while we mourn the loss of :1 Brother we would extend to his grief stricken family our heartfelt sympathy in this their sud bereavement. Resolved. That our Charter be draped in mourning fo1' six successive meetings. Resolved, That the Secretary be instructed to place a copy of these resolutions in the hands of the bereaved family : also spread upon the records of the (l-range and send a copy to the Gamma \'isi'ron and county papers for publi- cation. Brothers, Sisters, Patrons, in menioriu we meet, In honor of our brother, whose outward going feet Have borne him far beyond us, to the higher plains of life, To labor with the angels, where love’s harvest fields are rife. VVe have met in sad condolence, with those who linger yet, In the dear home where our brother, with his wife and children met, But, our work seems unavailing, for our hearts are very sore, They feebly speak our sympathy, they can do nothing more. But we fold our sister, in our tender arms of love, And point her weary footsteps to the sunny home above, Vile can tell his stricken children, as they how their heads in tears, We are weeping, weeping with you, for his many bligtcd years. I am looking on you, Patrons, and you email are in 'our place, But our haplain’s chair is vucaiit, and we iniss his pleasant face, And stern FACTS impress upon us, he will never come again, VVhile we meet and part as l‘atroiis in the busv haunts of men. VVe have known how full of kindness was his great and noble heart, Hove. he strove as friend and Patron to perform each manly part, And his dying words are ringing, “ Ever strive to act aright," If we had them, \Vortliy Patrons, we might live them in our might. We shall listen for his coming, and shall almost , think we hear His footsteps on the stairway, and his voice of pleasant cheer, For these walls have heard so often, that they seem to answer still .. To the falling of his voice and the echo of his will. But, Patroiis, we shall hear him, and shall see him never more, Till we go to labor with him, on the great Eter- nal Shore, But the words that he has spoken, and the deeds that he has done, THEY are ovns to keep and cherish, as we count them one by one. May we wreathe his name with garlands with good deeds we perform, As we labor in the sunshine, and are lieedless of the storm. .\Iay we earn a place beside him, when the gates shall open wide And we hear the Master's gavel, calling us ‘J61 yond the tide.

It is Owned, Edited and Managed by FARMERS, and is an able Ex- ponent of the Agricultural Interests of the Country. THE HIYSBAXDMAN discusses public questions from the farmer's standpoint. It demands that . the burdens of taxation should be more equita- bly placed on all classes of property, and that the farming interests be thereby‘ measurably relieved. THE HUSBANDMAN contends against unjust discrimination in freight charges, by which the present railroad management is heaping heavy burdens on the farmers of this and other States. No other farmer’s paper pays as careful heed to its Market Reports, which are thoroughly reliable and accompanled with comments show- ing the condition of the market and tendency of prices.
