And you request me to write you, and lei you know whether or not 1 will consent to the use of my name hi tliut oouneotton if nominuted by the convention. In reply I have to soy that |he twine reasons which caused me U re fuse to permit the uee ot my name before the Democratic convention at Kmrfgold in 1878 still exist und make it improper for me to be aoandidaio.* I fee) profoundly grateful to the pro* pie ol your besmtifnl sud growing city for this expression of their con- fldeuce und esteem ; bat 1 would trel prouder if 1 could but feel ihut I woe worthy of suoh honor from so intellr* gent, virtuous und enterprising peo* pie. Permit me to suy in conclusion thut while it is true that the Demoo* racy of this district bus been greatly demoralised, tod we hove suffered delete it the pur in oousequenW of it yet I do not feel disoonruged. There are u greut many good men—-Inteflf- gent und patriotic men—who are st heart true democra's, who, by the force of circuuistanoes, were carried off with the independent movement for the time, who are not going to abandon the party or its liute honored principles; whose good sense cannot tail to teach them that tbs party can not be kept together, or its principles iiiHiuiaiiied without organization. If we tieat these men right, and s'snd firmly and unflinchingly by the prin ciples for which the Democracy of this country has always contended, ihey will unite with us again, and the party in the 7ih will wheel into line, and take the place to which she is entitled, at the heud of the Georgia column as the banner district of the Slate. Truth is a greut power which cannot fuil sooner or later to win be fore such u tieople. Very truly yours, James R. Brown. It is to be regretted that Col. Browu, who has the respect and con fidence of the Democratic party ol the 7th district, finds that he will not be able, from causes that existed two years ago, to bear the standard of the party through the fall campaign. While there are some, who, from a mistaken idea that he was the candi date of u ‘‘clique or a ring" might vote against him, it would not be from any cause arising from his polit ical or moral integrity, lor none can doubt either. We have known Col. Brown long and well. No man ever doubted his uprightness of character or fidelity to the principles he has e-poused, ever since he entered upon the field of politics. It is greatly to be ivgetted hie inability, from private considerations, to lead the Democrat ic hosts of the seventh to victoiy this tali. Read Tills.

A lying witness will often tell u very glib story, but he generally tails to guntd all nis weak points. At a recent trial ii^court the following took place in;attempting to prove an a hbi: Attorney S.—"You my that James plowed for yon all day on ths 20th of Novembei ? ’ Witness referring to his book— "Yes.” S.—"What did he do on the 30ib?" W.—“He chopped wood." 8.—"On th- 3Lt?» W.—"That was Sunday, and we went sqmrrell hunting.’' S.—"What did he do on the 32nd?" W.—"He thrashed wheat." S.—"What did he do on the 33d?" W.—“Ji was raining, and he shaved cm some handle**.*’ S.—“What did lie do on the 34th?" W.—"He chopped wood." 8.—"What did he do on the ?” But before t*M» question could b finished, tne witness’ wile seized nun by tlie collar and whisked him out side of the witness box, veil ng in iiie iifiu ignied ri»i — "You old lool! don’t you know theie are only thirty one days in tl • rrioJth of November?" Orchard QrwM I havs sown .orchard grass seed in ths fall and iu the spring, aud al ways with good results. The seed is light, weighing from thirteen to four teen pouuds per bushel, aud ham two to three bushels per aors is the f iroper amount. I have been success ul with one bushel per sere. As to iis value, tner*» srsuts to In* a wule d versity of opinion ; some place it far ia advance of either timothy or clo ver for hay, or the natural grasaes for pasture. It is very likely that thfcae carry it too far, as is npt to bs the cats with other good things. The moat objection 1 have to it is ths faot that for hay it must be sown alone, hr no other kind of gross ieviprwoon enough to be cut with it. Aud it often grows in bn itches with bare spaces between. For early and late K usture it has few equals. It starts efore uuy other glass in the spring and will make good feed faster a frost. For the Inst three or four years I mowed mine the 8th or 9th of June. At that time it makes splendid hay. D. N. Kern, Lehigh county, Pa.— Red clover ripens with orchard grass. Farmer.

The folUwiog simple rules will bv found useful to all parties about to buy a horse: 1. Never lake the seller’s word ; if dishonest he will be certain to clteut you ; if disposed to be fair, he may ituve been the dupe ot another, and will deceive you through representa tions which cannot be relied upon. 2. Never trust to a horse's mouth as a sure index to bis age. 3. Never buy u horse while in mo tion ; watch him while he stands at rest and von will discover his weuk { joints. If sound he will stand firm- y and squarely on his limbs, without moving uny oi them, the feet planted flat upon * the ground, with legs plumb and naturally poised. If one foot is thrown forward with the toe pointing to the ground, and the heel raised, or il the foot is lifted from the grouud and the weight taken from it, disease of the uaviculur bone may be suspected, or at least tender ness, which is a preettsor of disease. If the foot is thrown eut, the toe mised und the heel brought down, the horse has suffered fromlatnmitis, founder, or the back sinews have been sprained, ar.d fie is of little fu ture vulne. When the feet are all drawn together beneath the horse, if there bus been no disease there is a misplacent of the limbs at least and a weak disposition of the muscles. If the horse stuuds with his f<et spread apart or straddles with the hind legs there is weakness of the loins Hnd the kidneys are disorded. When the knees are bent and the legs totter and tremble, the btvust has bean ruined by heavy pulling aud will never be right again, what ever rest und treatment he may have. , t t . . *•' e .. 1 >- GOuliM.au Ul t«> luiiuvu .j... » lor themselves. 4.

I make this suggestion lor important reasons: First. Because if his theory be correct—that it will improve our stock, and that we can raise them cheaper to fence them in than to fence them out, we will have lost nothing and should not wait to he foroed by a law to act for our best interest; Second. Because, if we can demonstrate by actual test aod ex periment, that we can grow our pork cheaper on bermuda or blue grass, than we can on crab grass and other native grasses, together with the gleanings of our wheat, oats, peas and corn fields and ucorns and herbage of theforrest, (hen, and not till then, will every body be ready to vote for the Stock Law. * D. Which is the Happiest Season ? . At a festal put ty of old und young, the question was asked, "Which sea son of life is the most huppiest?" After being freely discussed by the guests, it was referred for answer to the host, upon whom was the burden of fourscore years.
