True economy is good management, and about the worst management a farmer can be guilty of is to buy cheap seeds and thus cut the value of his crops in half?or worse. A stream caunot flow higher than its source, and a crop cannot be any better than its seed. Real seed economy is buying seeds that bear the stamp of a house that is known to be reliable; then the planter is absolutely sure that he gets what he wauts aud what he pays for. Io every part of the country dealers sell the absolutely reliable seeds of D. M Ferry <fc Co., of Detroit, Mich., which have j given uniform good results for the- ! last 42 years.

St. Stephen's Church Barned. Yesterday between 12:30 and 1 o'clock, flames and smoke were seen issueing from the belfrey of St. Stephen's Lutheran church and in almost an iucreditable short tin.e the entire building was wrapped in names. aue ungiu oi iuc uic ip uj-h. of those impenetrable mysteries that will never be solved. The opinion of those who first arrived at the scene of conflagration is that the fire started in front of the church somewhere in the neighborhood of the stairs leading to the Masonic hall in the upper story of the building. The Masons met last Saturday but had no fire. The Lutheians had services both Sunday morning and night at both of which they hud fire but the stove was located iu the rear of the building and if the fire started where it is said it did the fire could not possibly have originated from the stove. The building was erected in 1K70 on the site of the former building which was burned by Sherman's bummers in ISGo. It was erected jointly by the members of St. Stephen's and Lexington Lodge Xo. loA. F. 31. and since then the first floor has been used by tbe Lutherans as a place of worship and the second floor by the Masons as a lodge room Such rapid headway did the flames ' -i? < 1.. make mat it was possiuie 10 save umy the organ, stool, four chairs ami two Bibles from the lower and nothing from the upper lioor. The loss was complete and there was insurance upon nothing. The Masons lost in furniture and paraphernalia about s-200. It is but proper to say that the Sunday school lost everything including a valuable library. Grand old St. Stephen's is laid in ashes aud no more will the Gospel of reconciliation be preached within its sacred walls. We trust, however, a better and more modern building will shortly be erected where this congregation can worship their God under their own vine and fig tree. We have been requested to au| nounce that until other arraugej ments can be made, the members of | this congregation will worship iu the ; Episcopal Chapel, at the usual hours which has been kindly placed at i their disposal by Mr. C.
