How few farmers take the pains to keep their fence corners clean of briers, shrubs, &e. With the least trouble imaginable, every farmer could get rid of such a pest, which would increase the value of his land twenty per cent., and thus avoid being continually annoyed while cultivating their crops. Certainly they know it is to their own interest to keep them clean, as fences left id this condition will soon become decayed and have to be replaced with a new one. Come, farmers, give more attention to such small affairs if you wish your property to increase in value. : PORA.

Of all idiotic laws passed by a set of wise donkeys, the one making railroad engineers blow the whistle continuously for not less than 80 rods and antil they cross each public highway or crossing, beats them all; and unless we incorporate our- village we will have to fill our ears with cotton, or go wild over the infernal noise created here at; times by two or three engines passing at the same time.

Henry Watterson’s Explanation. LOUISVILLE, June 2d.—Concerning his recent denunciation of Governor Hendpricks, Henriyf‘Wat.terson is reported to have said to-day to a correspondent who interviewed him: *“I ta'ce it that the folly of Gov. Hendrick’s conduct the last few months} is apparent to every sensible person.. He has no more chance of the Presidency, except on the ticket with Mr. Tilden, than you have. Of all men, his nomination by a National Democratic Convention is impossible. While Mr. Tilden lives Gov. Hendricks has no political entity, and represents mno partisan quality, save as Mr. Tilden’s prehensile or appendage. His nomination qyer Mr. Tilden would be such a rebuke and such an undeserved rebuke, and would create such a schism and such a needless and fatal schism, as no party would dareto face. That Gov. Hendricks does net see 80 plain a case sufficiently proves his foolishness. : _

“In spite of it he has goneon in a covert, unmanly way: to belittle Mr. Tilden, and, by detaching himself from the idol represented’ by them jointly, to make himself the catspaw ef those who seek to dethrone it. In this matter, looking to hig own elevation atthe expense of his chief, he has played the part of a conspiratc . John Kelly is now engaged in an intrigue with the Republicans to lose us New York next fall. Gov. Hendricks is John Kelly’s man ; and 1t matters not. how. fast or loose the relationship, or how familiar he may be with ' the details of the scheme, he cannot eseape the association and its attendant plan to set aside and disgrace Mr. Tilden. i “In my ascription-of all this' I might haye used 'milder language. ' I am sorry, on my own'behalf, that I overstepped the bonds of courtesy, but I am no more proof against- the rude promptings of an honest indignation than other men, and lam in the habit, at ~times, of using a vernacular that were better honored in the breach than the observance.” e g The authorities ofi Waterloo recently. redeemed another $5OO school house ‘bond, leaving the debt at $ll,OOO.

A walking mateh (or rather arun- - ning match) came off at the fair. grounds, near Warsaw, on Saturday last June 7. There were 10 entries. The first prize was $2O in gold ; second, $10; third, $5. They went 10 times around a half .#ile track, making a distance of five miles. The first money was woun by'a young man named Makimson, only 16 years old, in the remarkable time of 84 -minutes; a man by the name of Clark, second; Kelly, third. There was a large erowd of people in attendance, and great excitement prevailed. S e

. How They Do Change! L (Boston Post.) . o Now what has thé South done since the ITayes Administration was set up. on a false counting in to justify the slightest change in the temper of the North towards. that section? What in the world has happened in 2 years —in one year, in fact—to bring about this sudden change in the tactics or temper, or both, of the republican leaders? There has been no such extreme doctrine of State rights advaneed 1n that whole section as General Garfield himself advanced-and advocated, with the majority of the KElectoral Commission, but which -he- is now pleased to oppose as the greatest danger which his imagination is ‘able to conjure up. As to the President going to the South “with olive branehes in both hands.” he did it only in the way of rewarding certain persons in that section after ie became President for, their part in the work of counting him in. Not a great deal of olive wood in a plain transaction of give and take like that. Then-again, as to Foster’s part 1n the meeting at Wormley’s with the Southern Representatives in Congress. The sum and substance of his opuimism was a promise on behalf of Hayes that certain things should be done, which were afterwards done, if they would stand out against the proposed plan for the House not to accept the doings of the commission by refusing to go into a count of the votes of the States. There was more of- the same myaterial out of which all. this olive wood is made by General Garfield. Optimists, with a vengeance! They were after the Presidency then and that is what they are after now. '

: Was Foster Counted In? - | : [Columbus special to Chicago Tribune. - - - A statement is made. to-night which promises -to create a panic mnlessat qnce satisfactorily explained. 16 emanates from Republican' 'stalwarts, members of the Legislature; who were present at the Republican Conyvention at Cincinnati on the 28th ult., and is tothe effect that Mr. Foster 'was wrongfully declared the nominee of the Convention. Three .separate lists were kept by as many Wremt persons, and, - since the Convenfion, a comparison of these lists has been made, and found to agree, -each slip. showing that Foster received but 277 votes, instead of 280, as was.announced by the secretary.
