The Educated Farmer. Prof. C. S. Walker delivered an interesting and forcible sermon before a graduating class of the Massachusetts Agriculthral College at Amherst. His text was Lake xxii, 82: “Strengthen thy Brethren.” The topic was “The Duty of the Educated Fanner.” Among other things Prof. Walker said: “Heretofore in all parts of the world the farmer has been no match for his adversary. He has neyer held his own against the soldier dr the priest, against the politician or the statesman. In ancient times he was the slave; in the Middle Ages the serf. In the nineteenth century he is the slave, the serf, the peasant or the proprietor, according to location. American farmers as a class are face to face with a crisis. From all parts of this land farmers are coming together. Organizations and co-opera-tions are the wonderful ideas that have awakened them as never before. They are grasping hands with a grip that means something—comparing ways and means, uniting upon ends to be gained. They demand for themselves and their children an education equal to the best. They insist upon a fair share of the profits of American industry, claiming that no state can long exist in which the tillers of the soil bear most of the burdens and share little of the blessings of advancing civilization.” In conclusion Prof Walter said that the duty of the educated farmer was to supply leaders demanded by the farmers, to see that no mistake shall be made which shall turn back the progress of the movement.

Patterson, of York township, on the charge of making a false affidavit. It seems that the defendant drew sl7 from the trustee of his township on an affidavit that his sheep were killed by dogs, and it is charged that the sheep died from disease. The case of the State vs Wm. F. Kincel came on Friday. The defendant’s attorneys entered a motion to have the indictment for assault to commit murder, set aside. It was granted by the court, and immediately the States’ Attorney re-arrested the defendant on the charge of assault with intent to rob, which was sustained. The most of the forenoon was occupied with obtaining a jury. In the afternoon the examination of witnesses began, the principal testimony being that of Mr. Tiedeman, who could only state the manner in which he was assaulted, and that of a chum of the defendant, Frank Stewart, the young man who was with Kincel on the night in question (March 28th), and who said that after he had eaten his supper he went to Kincel’s home and from there they went to Neve’s saloon where several glasses of beer were drank, after which they visited the “Poney Sample Room” on Washington street where they took another drink. Leaving there they went south on Third to Madison street and east to Fifth where Kincel made an attempt to assault a pedestrian on that street, but was stopped by the witness. Shortly after Mr. Tiedeman made his appearance when the defendant crossed the street and the witness ran south to Purl. From there ho went to Main and Monroe where he was joined shortly after by Kincel who told him he had “done up” Tiedeman. They then started down town and when in front of Min-, nich’s hardware store, overheard a conversation between several boys to the effect that Clark Tiedeman had been “held yp” and nearly killed. The intense heat had no effect to abate the large attendance at the trial. The defense, though admitting the assault—tried to show that the prisoner was under the influence of liquor ancL did not commit the deed for the purpose of robbery. The State introduced a number of witnesses, several of whom testified that previous to the evening when the assault was made, the defendant had planned a series of robneries and solicited their aid; that on the evening of the Bth, previous to drinking any liquor, he had suggested sandbagging someone. - The case went to the jury at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon, and after being out about three hours returned a verdict against Kincel, on the last named charge, fixing his punishment at two years in ‘ the penitentiary. A motion for anew trial was overruled by the court At the conclusion of the arguments, the prisoner was brought into court and Judge Vanfleet sentenced him on the verdict. Notice was given of appeal to the supreme court. Epoch. The transition from lone, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the individual. Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memory and the agency whereby the good health has been attained Is greatefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health, to the use of the Great Alterative) and Tonic. If you are troubled with any disease of Kidney, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standing you will surely find relief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at 50c. and $1 per bottle at J. S.

J. S. Walters, I r .„, E. A. DAUSMAN. f Lom ’ D. Ricxert, Sec’y. C. J. Swezet, Pres. Celery’s Start at Kalamazoo. The following interesting account of starling the now great celery fields at Kalamazoo, from the Gazette of that city, is uot only instructive, but it may suggest to someone to have at some future time, a man who is thoroughly acquainted with the needs es soil to raise the plant, to investigate the low land in the vicinity of Nappanee: As far back as 1856 Kalamazoo was surrounded by what seemed to be, at that time, a worthless strip of marsh land. It was looked upon by farmers as a waste of land, not being worth the trouble of tilling, as higher ground was I tetter adapted to farming and much easier worked. Thus our best and richest land lay for years untouched and seemingly unfit for use. In the year of 1857 an enterprising Hollander, Garrett Remeinse, haying made a study of the rich soil constituting this great marsh, cleared a small space directly opposite the water works on, Burdick street, and there planted a few seeds of a vegetable known in Holland as celery. This was the beginning, the foundation of an industry bound to make Kalamazoo famous for many years to come, throughout the land. Mr. Remeinse anxiously watched his first crop, but felt almost certain of success as he had seen, in his native land, celery grown in great quantities on the same kind of soil. After a few weeks, He was rewarded by as fine a crop of the vegetable as was eyer grown here. He carefully washed the choicest stalks, of which there was just a wheelbarrow load. He started dqpvn town expecting to find a market, and a great treat for native Kalamazooans. He stopped on the corner of Burdick and Main streets ready for business. Many people gathered around the queer load, but few dared purchase. "Is it good to eat? "How do you eeek lt? and other foolish questions were asked. To many he tried to give it away, but in this he failed; but few were willing to taste it. At last, being sorely disgusted, he pushed the same load home and fed it to the hogs. It was certainly a poor reception for Kalamazoo’s first celery. The next year Mr. R. took fresh courage. He knew celery could be raised to pay, and pay big too; he cleared a large space and raised more celery, and it sold. Outsiders learned of the excellent quality raised, and orders came more than he could fill and what was still more encouraging to him the home people began to relish it. What has taken place since then, the average reader knows. Thousands of acres of the once worthless land will soon be rich green fields of celery. The crop for 1890 will probably be the largest ever raised here, and the income will reach over one million dollars. Mr. Remeinse is a hale old man, and is still interested in celery.

The most scientific men of this country and liquor-assayess appointed by state government, pronounce it a most valuable article for sickness. We cannot write more on this subject, but publish the fallowing card, which speaks for itself: u Portland, Feb, 1. The undersigned, having become practically acquainted with the wine produced by Alfred Speer of 4 New Jersey, would any that he considers it a superior article-and far preferable to the quality of port wine generally furnished in this market.

Tlie St. Louis Range Cos. As noted last week in these columns, this company has made this place its headquarters for the next few months, inconsequence of which they have secured a wareroom for their goods, from where their six wagons are loaded that drive through the country to sell their line. In conversation with Mr. Robinson, the office-man at the Nappanee House, it is learned that this is the method by which the St. Louis Wrought Iron Range Cos. dispose of their goods, the idea is to sell direct to the consumer taking a promisory note made payable to the order of the company. We were shown hundreds of recommendations from parties buying their goods in this way, and as the News was called on in the way of an advertising medium, they showed up a convincing argument that they were here to do a square and legitimate business in the method of which they have of disposing of their goods. Mr. Robinson says further that, the men in their employ are all responsible hard-working men, and the company stands ready, as one among the most substantial concerns in the States, to make good their obligations. The company's catalogue furnishes a list of recommendations for the range, by people wbo are usiug them, ns long as the moral law. Here is an extract from an article in the New Orleans Times-Democrat: “This view of the efforts of this Company towards benefiting mankind by a really superior article is borne out by the jury of awards of the class in which the St. Louis Wrought Iron Range Company entered in competition, who awarded them the highest premium, three gold medals, for their entries, as follows: First gold premium on best hotel ranges, first gold premium on laundry stove, first gold premium best collective display of ranges, and silver premium on malleablo iron water-back. This sweeping triumph, in face of the fact that the wares of this Company were unknown this far South, speaks volumes in favor of the real merit of the ranges, which so creditably passed through the crucible of critical expert judgment and came out victorious over all. J They have determined to make the “Homo Comfort” Ranges the cooking articles of the country, and will take pleasure in convincing the skeptical, if there be such, of the truth and justice of the yerdict of the jury giving this Company the highest awards.” lknl Kxlato Tranufur*, H P Latta to C F Neuter, part lot in Goshen SISOO.
