'I saw the earth in beauty drcst,
Sufihsed with summer calm;
,And sweetly soothing was its rest, .
And peace stole o’er my troubled breast,
Like breath of heavenly balm.
I watched, with placid glory crowned,
, The starlit heavens outsproad;
And tranquil night, and depths profound,
And orbs serene, in silence bound,
Subduing quiet shed.
L I mused, with christened, pensive mind,
011 N store’s changeless law;
And might, with gentleness combined,
And majesty, in'love enshrined,
Awakened tmstful awe.
I heard His words of holy cheer,
Who bore our mortal woes;
And from His graciouspromise clear,
And from His loving accents dear,
My spirit drunk repose.
Dow’I—l‘lat.—l550.
O
BY BRIT ll ‘73!” i‘.
Dow’s Flat. That’s its name,
And I reckon that you
Are a stranger 7 The same?
Well, I thought it was true— .
For thar isn't a man on the river as can’t spot the
place at first view.
It was called after Dow—
Which the same was an ass—-
And as to the how
That the thingkem to pass—
Jest tie up your hose t9 that buckeye, and sit ye
down here in the grass.
You see this yer Dow
Hed the worst kind of luck :
He slipped up somehow .
On each thing that he struck. , -
Why, ef he'd a’ straddled thetfence ’rail the dern’d
' thing ’ed get up and buck. ’
He mined on the bar,
Till he couldn’t pay rates;
. He was smashed by a car,’
When he tunneled with Bates;
And right onthe top ofhis trouble kem his wife and
five kids from the States.
It was rough—mighty rough; .
But the bays they stood by,
And they brought him the stud
For a house, on the sly:
And the old woman—well, she. did washing, ‘au
tookion when no one was nigh.
But this yer luck ofDow’s
Was so powerful mean
That the spring near his house
Dried 'rightup on the green;
And he sunk forty feet down for water, but nary
drop to be seen. ' ~
Then the bar petered out.
And the boys wouldn't stay,
And the chills got about.
And his wife fell away;
But Dow, in his well, kept a peggin’ in his usual ri-
dikilous way. ' .
One day—it was J une—
And a year ago, jest—
This Dow kem at noon
To his work like-the rest.
With a shovel and pick on his shoulder, and a Der-
ringer hid in' his breast. ' ‘ 4 '
He goes to the well,
And he stands on the brink,
And stops fora spell
Jest to listen and think:
For the sun in his eyes, Uest like this, sir i], you sect
kinder made the cuss blink. '
His two ragged gals
In the gulch were at. play,
And a gownd t was Sal’s
Kinder hopped on a bay;
Not much for a man to be lcuvln', but his all—as Iv’e
Heard the folks say.
1
And— that’s a peurt boss
Thet you’ve got, ain‘t it now 7
What might be her cost 7
_ Eh 7 Ol—Wellthen, Dow—
Let’s see—well. that forty foot grave wasn't his, air.
that day, anyhow.
For a blow of his pick
Sorter caved in his side,
And he looked and turned sick,
Then he trembled and cried,
For you see the demed cuss had struck—“water 7"
beg your pardlng, young man, there you lied!
It was gold in the quartz,
And it ran all alike;
And I reckon five oughis
Was the worth of that strike:
And that house with the coopilow’s his'n-which the
same isn’t bad for :1 Pike.
Tbet’s why it’s Dow‘s Flat;
And the thing of it. is
That he kinder got that
Through sheer contrairiuess;
For ’twas water the durned cuss was seekln’, and his
luck made him certain to miss.
Thet’s so. Thor’s your way
To the left of yofi tree:
But—l—Loqk h’yur, any 7
Won’t you come up to tea !
No 7 Well, then the next time you’re pnssin’; and
ask after Dow—and thet’s me.

Masons. Entropy—In view of the present size and
prosperous growth of our good old town, it behooves
us as citizens and tax-payers to consider what much
needed requirements are wanting to healthily assist
and economically develop this advancement. We
will at this time only ask attention to what seems
the most important and is at this moment required.
It is to fix and establish a permanent plan and basis
for doing the necessary work upon our streets.
In all towns of the advancement of our own, expe-
riencehus proved the necessity for a complete sur-
vey of the town, or ntleast with us, what would be
embraced within the Borough limits.
That this survey should show the lines and grade
of all the streets, sidewalks, cross walks, and water
ways or gutters.
The lines of property abutting on the streets, as
well as the division lines of all property, public or
private. -
Reference being bad in making this survey to the
future wants of the town in its growth as to the
width and convenience of the streets and sidewalks,
and to the natural formation of the land, to furnish
complete surface and underground drainage. at the
smallest expense and least inconvenience to the town
and to property owners. This matter should have
instautgrtion. A meeting of the tax-payers of the
borough should authorize and instruct a committee
Oftbree competent men to employ under their direc-
tion an engineer familiar with the work required to
be done, to make this survey fully complete in all
parliculars and details, and to have this survey eu-
grossed upon maps of parchment of convenient size
for reference and use, containing thereon all the
working details in figures, are, made plain and per-
manent.
The engineer employed should be required, under
_a forfeiture, to complete the survey, maps, &C,, with-
in three months from the date of his agreement,
using sufiiclent competent clerical force to avoid any
longer delay and to guarantee the work and working
plans to be thorough and correct in every particular.
When this work is accomplished let it be the duty
of this committee to call a meeting of the borough
without delay and present their report, accompanied
with the survey and maps, and upon the acceptance
of the same by the. berough, to make it an establis‘b‘
ed law that the future imp'IOvemcnts and repairs shall
be required, under a penalty, to conform to their sur-
vey, and also .the duty of a competent person to be
made responsible for the fulfillment of the same. To
meet the uecéssnry expense. at the first meeting ap-
pOlntiug the committee, authority should be glyen to
negotiate a loan for the sum of money required for
the work, and to have it understood that the interest
money on this loan, and 8200 or 8300 each your ass
sinking fund to extinguish the loan, be paid out of
the ordinary yearly appropriations for streets, 9149'.
walks, etc. By this method there will be no addition
to our taxes, fer the balance of said appropriation
[after deducting the amounts necessary for interest
money and the sinking fund] will be really of more
permanent value expended under the established
plan of the survey, than the whole amount worked-
ont on our'present system.
This is but the beginning of a great good. 'An estab-
lished, general and liberal survey would work many
changes of benefit 'to the public, where the expense
incurred will be paid by individuals desirous to im-
prove, and beautify their own property.
It will be seen in the improvement of sidewalks by
placing stone curbs with suitable paved gutters, and
these improvements will not be confined to the most
. densely settled portions of the borough.
C
P _
Every sidewalk improved in this way will add to
he permanency of the lines of the streets. and where
both sides of the same street are thus improved there
will then be five feet of permanent roadway made by
the paving of the gutters which should be nearly iiat
and not, as many of them now are, mere useless gul',
lies, and this too at private expense and the street
giado would then be well defined and much more
reldlly and economically repaired. It would taketoo
much space to attempt to state all the consequent
adiantsges of an established, permanent survey.
to our welfare, comfort and economy.
It must be apparent to all who will quietly exam-
ine and think of the subject, that with us the making
and Idoptiou of a thorough and permanent survey
has already to our inconvenience and cost, been too
long delayed. Corr.
Masons. Epl'rous:—In the GAzE-rr: of April 20th is
an article under the heading of Distillery Milk, calcué
latcd to convey very erroneous impressions, detri-
mental not only to the interests of many producers
of milk, but to those of the community generally,—
inasmncli as the destruction of bushels of healthful
' food for cattle would lessen the quantity and enhance
the price of food for man.
_ Ofmilk made horn the refuse in distilleries I have
nothingiu defense to say. And I have been told
that brewm' grains can bc/crmentedand made intaa
will unwho'iesome for cattle, and producing when
fed to cows, bad milk. Of that I haveno personal
knowledge; though I can readily believe Zg—espe-
crully when fed in filthy, unventilaicd stables.
Whut I have to say refers only to grains fed as they
come thorn the brewery, in a sound and healthful
condition. Both your correspondent and Moreno
. Morris, author of the note appended to this article,
seem to have made the mistake of confoundingbrcw—
ers’ grains with distillery refuse. ‘ . ,
‘ An intelligent freight agent on one of our railroads
running out ofNew York, estimates the quantity of
the grains sent from the city and vicinity during the
past winter by railroads, at more. than half a million
of bushels, saying nothing of those fed there, or to-
ken away by other methods, or of those used in oth-
er parts of the country. Two men fed one hundred
and twenty car lo'ads of five hundred bushels each.
Before publishing statements like those referred to
afi’ectiug such extensive interests, one should be
thoroughly acquainted with the subject. The very
heading of the article Conveys an erroneous idea;
and when he says, he “ leaned that they were brew-
ers’ grains from the distillery " he shows his in form-
out to be in fault. They never had and more connecg
tion with a distillery than with a grocery or machine
shop; and with all due deference to M. Morris, 1
cannot but think his knowledge of the subject pur-
tial, and some of his statements calculated to mis—
lead.
For ought that I know, they may be correct, re-
specting distillery milk, or that which can be made
from brewers’ grains, or other articles of food, by
fermentation, etc. But that his article conveys cor-
rect ideas respecting brewers’ grains, and the efi'ect
of feeding them by farmers in the country, I have
very good reasons for denying.
Cattle fed at the distillerles have become diseased
and loathsome, and many have consequently died
But thosejudiciously fed with grains and Other‘
wise properly cared for, are. remarkably healthy
while being fed on them through the winter, and
continue so afterward when turned to pasture. I
have closely watched the effects of this feed for more
than ten years, and have talked about it with other.-
who have done so for alonger time than I have, and
I would sooner buy a cow in the spring that has had
it through the winter, than one fed on buy alone. I
know of cows, one of which is eighteen years old,
being fed with it for twelve consecutive winters, the
owner of which, is ready to exhibit it in comparison
with any others that may be produced.
One would naturally suppose that perfectly healthy
cows would give wholesome milk. But M. Morris
says the want of nutritious elements in such milk
renders it detrimental to health. I do not pretend
to have aeolian of the milk made from this feed, nor
any which he has seen., But I know it is aiaw‘of
nature that the same causes produce the same results.
And I have seen a great deal of milk made by this in
connection with other feed which I have every reason
to believe was good and wholesome. I have known
it to be thoroughly tested with other milk, by lacto-
metcr and otherwise, and to be pronounced by good
judges fully equal to the other, and never heard of
‘an instance of ill health caused by its use.
He seems to take it for granted that there is an al-
most pcrfect uniformity in the quality of normal
milk. If he were thoroughly practically acquainted
with the subject, he would know that the same cbws
dlfi‘er greatly in the richness of their milk, at dlfi'er-
ent times, when fed on grass alone; and when fed
on corn, oats, oil meal. rye meal, bran, beets, tur-
nips, carrots, potatoes, &c., the quality of the milk
varies. And when difi'erent cOws are treated exactly
alike, one cow will sometimes give milk more than
twice as rich in butter, &c., as another.
But it is not a generally accepted idea that it is
deleterious to health in proportion as it falls below
a certain standard. If you pay the price of good
milk and gel; thin milk, whether made so by the
milkman or by the cows, you do not get your mon-
ey’s worth. Pure water is not worth eight or ten
cents a quart; but did you ever know it to poison
any one 7 If so, why do physicians and nurses di-
rect it to be mixed with cows' milk for infants 7 and
do you find skimmed milk and buttermilk, from
which the butter has been’ extracted, a poisonous
drink, though it contains a large proportion of con-
stitutional water 7 In the American Agriculturist
of September last is an article on The Nutritive Val-
ue of Different Crops, 1n which the results Of exten-
sive and carefully conducted experiments, in an Ag-
ricultural Academy in‘ Germany, are given. One
. hundred pounds of hay were found to equal 275 lbs of
beets, carrots, or Jerusalem arfichokes, 200 lbs oat
straw, or potatoes, 125 lbs of brewers’ grains, 60le
of outs, or 50 lbs oil meal.
While less nutritious than oil meal or cats, they
are more so than beets, carrots, potatoes, straw, etc.
nutriment, it should include rdots, straw, bran, and
various other kinds of feed with which we are wick-
ed enough to poison our cattle. A knowledge of the
process by which the grains are produced, must con-
vince any one prepared to judge impartially. that
they cannot be unwholeosmc 'food, unless it. is con-
sidercd that cooking food renders it unfit for use.
As they a tithing more nor less than barley, boil-
ed, after ”sprouted to develop the saccharine
properties and then kiln dried.
I send a copy of the law passed in New York, Apr
33, 1861, soon a'fter Frank Leslie’s attack upon the
swill milk business, and evidently in reference to
that, and in no way applicable to brewers’ grains:
“Any person who shall adulterste milk, with the
view of offering the same for sale or exchange, or
shall keep cows for the production of milk for mar-
ket, or for sale or exchange, in a crowded or on-
healthy condition, or shall feed the same on food
that produces impure, diseased or unwholesome
milk, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
liable to a fine of fifty dollars.”
Your April correspondent objects to the grains be-
cause thcy were dripping. I cannot see how that
hurt them, all the water in which they had been boil-
ed that it was practicable to pump out, had been in-
keu to make beer of; but there was a little left, and
it would drip for awhile.
But he says there was adisagreeuble odor. Did
he ever know of a disagreeable odor from food that
had been cooked, or was being cooked for other he-
ings than cows 7 Did he ever know ofu kitchen
reeking with the fumes of cabbage, turnips or On-
ions, etc. ? Did he consider the smell sum‘cient to
condemn them 7
Or did he ever know of a heap of vegetables, tur-
nips, for instance, in which some of them had decay-
ed? and would he have the whole of them thrown
away 7 '
Shut up closely a can of milk, warm from the cow,
for a few hours, and the steam and confined air in
the top will smell worse than the car of grains. ,
When 500 bushels are put wet and but from the
boilers, into a closely closed car,‘ the confined air in
the top of the car after awhile will not he particular-
ly sweet. while the grains are sound and good.
And generally iflefl: for a few days in the car, the
outside of the load where it is in contact with the
air, will, a little of it, become musty, emit a bad
smell, andis thrown away, while the bulk of the

TEA IN CALIromIA—Elforts to introduce
tea in California have hitherto been scarce-
1 less prosperous than in other parts of the
nion. Certain difficulties connected with
American mining have been surmounted by
the simple process of importing forel n
miners, and now that the people of t e
Flowery Kingdom are so numerous in the
valleys of the Sierra. Nevada, we may hope
better things for our tca culture. It is, at
all events, to be tried on a grand scale.
Thirty thousand trees have been imported,
a good number of shrewd agriculturists
have employed Chinese hands, and
one into busrness with a determination to
e suCcessful in it, ifsuccess be possible, and
in another year the momentous question
whether this continent is to be independent
of Asia for its future tea supply is likely to
be definitely settled.

THE CENSUS.
As the Assistant Marshals are now engaged
throughout the county in taking the Census, it will
be well for the people to know just what questions
are to be asked, so that they can be prepared With
the proper answers. With this view, we give below,
a full summary of the topics on which information
is desired, copied from the official blanks, together
with such official explanations and instructions to
Marshals as seem necessary for a full understanding
of the different items.
It is hoped that the people everywhere will cheer-
fully ussist the Marshal in his duties, giving randy
responses to all questions. The information obtain;
ed is not for publication, and theMarsha] is specially
instructed to keep such information to himself, and
not to permit public inspection of his books. The
Marshals are required to be courteous in their enqui-
ries and must make the enumeration by actual per-
sonal enquiry at every dwelling, and place of busin-
ess. The law provides penalties for refusal to un-
swcr their questions.
comm: l.
‘ DWELLING Hocsrs,—numbered in the order of visi-
tation. Dwelling houses and Families will be num-
bered consecutively, in order as visited, until the'
township is completed. By “Dwelling-house" is
meant a house standing alone, or separated by walls
horn other houses-in a block. Only such buildings
are to be reckoned as dwelling-houses us have been
used as the entire habitation of a family. But houses
only temporarily inhabited are to be returned and
numbered in order. Hotels, poor-houses, gsrrisons,
asylums,jalls, and similar establishments. where the
inmates live habitually under a single roof, are to be
regarded as single dwelling-houses for the purposes
of the Census. Very many persons, especially in
cities, have no other place of abode than stores,
shops, &c. ; places which were not primarily intend
ed for habitation. Careful inquiry will be made to
include this class, and such buildings will be reckon-
ed as dwelling-houses within the intention Of the
Census law.
Fauum—By “Family” is meant one or more
persons living together and provided for in common.
A single person living alone in a. distinct part of 1.
house, may constitute a family; while, on the other
hand, all the inmates of a boarding house or a hotel
will constitute but a single family, though there may
be among them many husbands with wives and chil-
dren. Under whatever circumstances, and~in what-
ever numbers, people live together under one roof,
and are provided for at a common table, there is a
family in the meaning of the law. The name of ev-
ery person in each, family, of whatever ligc, will be
entered, including the names Of such as were tempo-
rarily absent on the lst day of J use, 1870. The name
of any member of the family who may hnve died be-
tween the lst day ofJune, 1870, and the day of the
Assistant Marshal’s visit, is to be entered, and the
person fully described, as if living; but the name 01
any person born during the perion is to be omitted.
The name of the father, mother, or other ostensible
bend of the family [in the case of hptels, jails, &c..
the landlord, jailer, &C.] is to be entered first of the
family. The family name is to be written first in the
column. and the full first or characteriéti‘c christian
or “given name of each member of the family in or-
der thereafter. The age, sex, and color of each indi-
vidual must be given, together with their profession
occupation or trade, and plaice of :.~irth, naming State
or Territory, or country 11':qu foreign birth. All per.
sons temporarily absent on journey or visit are to be
counted as of the family; but children and youth ab-
sent for purposes of education on the lat ofJune; and
having their home in a family where the school “I
college is situated, willhe enumerated at the latter
place. '
Sea-faring men are to be reported at their land
homes, no matter how long they may have been ab-
sent, if they are- supposed to be still alive. Renee.
sailors temporarily at a sailor’ boarding or lodging
house, if they acknowledge any other home within the
United States, are not to be included in the family‘of
the lodging or boarding hOuse. Persons engaged in
internal trap sportation, canahmen, express-men,
railroad-men, Sm, if they habitually return to their
homes in the intervals of their occupation, will be-
reported as of their families and not where they may
be temporarily staying on the 1st of June.
PROPERTY.—The value of all Real Estate owned by
the person enumerated must be given—the valu‘e
meant is the full market value, known or estimated.
The value of personal Estate is also called for, inclu-
ding all bonds, stocks, mortgages, notes, live stock,
plate, jewels, or furniture, but. not of wearing appar-
el. No report is to be made, however, when the
personal property is valued at less than $100.
If married within the year, state the month. A7]
nersons over ten years of age will be asked if they
can read and write. If desfund dumb, blind, insane
or idiotic, the fact will be noted.
Great care will be taken-in performing this work
of the enumeration, so as at once to secge complete-
ness and avoid giving offense. Total blindness and
undoubted insanity only' are intended in this enqui-
ry. Deafness merely, without loss of speech, is not
to be reported.
. CONSTITUTIONAL RELATIONS-.—Upoll the answers to
‘ the questions under this head will depend the distri-
ution of representative power in the General Gov-
ernment. It is therefore imperative that this part of
the enumeration should be performed with absolute
accuracy. Every male person born within the Uni-
ted States, who has attained the age of twenty-one
years, is a citizen of the United States by the force 01
the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution: al-
so. all persons born out of the limits and jurisdiction
Of the United States, whose fathers at the time of
their birth were Citizens of the United States [not of
February 10, 1855]; also, all persons born Out ofthe
limits and jurisdiction of the United States, who
have been declared by judgment of Court to have
been duly N nturalized, having taken out both “ pa-
pers.” It is a matter of more delicacy to Obtain the
information required by column 20. Many persons
never try to vote, and therefore do not know wheth-
er their Iight to vote is or is not abridged. It; is not
only those whose votes have actually been challenged
and refused at the polls for some disability or want
of qualification, who must be reported in this column ;
but all who come within the scope of any State law
denying or abridging suffrage to any class or individ-
ual on any other ground than participation in rebel-
lion, or legal conviction Of crime. Assistant Mur-
shals, therefore, will be required carefully to study
the laws of their own States in these respects, and
to satisfy themselves, in the case of each mule citizen
of the United States above the age of twenty-One
years, whether he does or does not come within one
of these classes. As the Fifteenth Amendment to
the Constitutmu, prohibiting the exclusion from the
suffrage of any ‘ person on account of race. color, or
previous condition of servitude, has become the law
of the land, all State laws working such exclusion
have ceased to be of virtue. If any pefson is, iii any
State, still-practically denied the right to vote by
reason of any such state laws not repealed, that do“
hlal is merely an act of violence, of which the courts
may have cognizance, but which does not come with.
in the view .of Marshals and their Assistants. in re-_
spect to the Census.

to be_considered was the health of the peo-

Senator Griswold supported the amend- 2
meat.
. Senator Scranton favored the amendment
He would guard against injunctions, He
had liad some little experience. He had
been Injured from $50,000 to $100,000 by a.
groundless injunction. which had been dis-
solved upon a. h criug. He lived within
two miles of one of these manufactories, and
had not been incommoded. ,
Senator Johnson said ' that the giving of
bonds for costs was armaiter in the discre-
tion of the court. The petitioners in this -
case would be property owners: he thought
it a dangerous thing to require a petitioner
to give bonds to pay dams es, ifan injunc-
tion were not sustained. e thought the
Senator from the Sixth a little sore on the
subject of injunction.

Scranton and Barbour. 'The clause relating

ven or Hartford as shall have built a State
House, provided the other city has not so
built, and that the Governor shall make

ui t. 7
Mr. Eaton, of Hartford, said that the House
had determined by a majority of 29 that
they do not desire two capitals. He offered
as an amendment a substitute, providing-
tliat after the first Wednesday of May, 1874,
all sessions of the General Assembly shall be
held at the State capital, and that 0.1182 the
