In view of these facts the Women's Silk Culture Association of 1'liiladelpliia was organized two years ago. for the purpose of calling the attention ot the women of the country to the : opportunity given ilieai to establish a new nidus- i try, both suitable and profitable ; and nlso to give the necessary instructions to all lesiritig to engage in silk culture. The success of this pioneer association is re- | ma kablc ; there has been aroused a wide spread interest in the cultivation of cocoons that must i go on increasing until 'lie aim of the associa- ! tioii is fulfill d. This fact was m >st forcibly ( resented at the last exhibition of the association, ai which the display of cocoons was very tine and interesting, j The chief feature of ill play of specimen cocoons by the twenty mix contestants for I lie Slrawbridge & Clothier premiums. The first one of which. l>y the way, was curried oil by Mrs. Kebeecu Taylor, (mother of | the laic ll.iyard Taylor), who is over 82 years of nge. ami a sufferer from paralysis. The association ntitiminces that lb ough the liberality of Messrs. Straw-bridge & Clothier the well known dry goods merchants of I'hila- | dolphin, it is again enabled to offer to the siik culturisls the sum of five hundred dollars iti > ten premiums, as follows : first premium, $100; j second premium, S7o; tliiid pretuiuin, ; j fourth ptcmitim, Si>0; fifth premium, ?70; ' sixth pretMium, Sl>; seventh premium, $40: eighth premium, S:>0; ninth premium $2">; | feuth prcnintii. $10. Far these premiums any ' resident oftbc United States may contest. From I the leu largest amounts of cocoons, one p oind j will be taken, without selection, and the test of j reeling applied ; the quantity and quality will j be the conditions for premium. Application for competition must be endorsed nnd the rmoiint of this year's cocoons raise I by the cultnrist, testified to by some responsible person. Stuck must be sent not later than December 1, 1892. Anyone with sufficient land to grow a few mulberry trees caiqadd the i curing of silk worms to the daily enre and find it a source of pleasure and profit. The work occupies but a small pur- i lion of the year, and a child can attend to the daily gathering of leaves and feeding the worms. If a supply of mulberry leaves can <ol be had, an osage orange hedge will answer every purpose. The osage orange leaf is admirable food for tlie silk worms, from which tliey spin splendid silk?

It hnd heen understood that a meeting to organize a | Greenback club was to be held at this point, ntid accordingly some interest was excited [ throughout the neighborhood in regard to the meeting. A little after the appointed time the meeting, which consisted of not more than thirty i of Ibrly persona all told, was called to order hy [ Mr. W. \V.

Springs, during which he admitted that the Greenback party did not accept accessions from i any party except the Democrats. Mr. E. B 1 Murray was present an ! replied for the Democrats, scoring Mr. Russell for his party's incon- 1 sislcncies, and defending tho integrity and good i government of the Democracy. Mr. llussell made a short reply, at the conclusion of which Mr. Murray suggested that lie had better cnll up the mourners, which Mr. Russell did not see fit to do, as he announced that a Greenback club would be organized at some future day at Hunter's Spring.

The June terra of Court for this County was promptly called on Monday, Judge J. S. Colhran presiding. All the officers were at their posts. The Judge's charge to tho Grand Jury wna brief, forcible and practical, and in defining the duties and obligations of the grand inquest of Ihc County, he impressed upoo the jury the dignity and importance of their<f?0ice as the guardians of the peace and good o*uer of society and the general welfare of the County. Solicitor Duncan, with his usual promptness ?nd correct appreciation of the value of time to tho jurors, witnesses and all others having business with the Court, was prepared with business Tor the Grand Jury and gave out a number of bills. The Grand Jury returned True hills in the following cases, which were tried : The State vs. John Gibhs?House Breaking.? Guilty, and sentenced to six months in the Penitentiary. vs. Glenn Vanlew ?

Mrs. Curr followed with m >:ii<s very amusing domestic scenes and a recital of the "Creed of the Hells," which was a Intirahly done. We wero mortified by seeing so small an audience. I' was due to the V. M. C. A. to have crowned by a rousing benefit, to say nothing of the Courtesy duo to a distinguish*) lecturer. It is not creditable to the taste or culture of a community that it should fill the hoti>e to watch the tricks of a juggier or mountebank and not feel interest enough to pay a quarter to hear an ett teriaining and instructive lecture. We shall treasure up in our memory with no common pleasure, that exquisite "Bugle Song" "The man's a man for a' that and a' that" and "Henry of Navarre."

Tho Platform Extended. s Mr. Editor.? The platform of your correspondent, 'Straightout Democrats," is eery good, T as far as it goes, but it does not go far euougli, and we suggest that the following be added to it : ft 0. If elected to tlie Legislature will you advocate and vote for tlie repeal of the Lien g Law * a: 10. Aro you .in favor of abolishing the pros, cnl expensive and annoying Trial Justice sys. C teni ? d It is not likely that we shall bo in a bettor t? condition for doing away with the Lien Law 01 than we me this year. The farmers, generally u have made enough oats and wheat to feed man ft man and beast until Christmas, at least, when d the corn will come in to supply them until the t| next oat and wheat crops are harvested. The B law cotinot be repealed until the next Legislit. n ture meets and under present liens all nocessa- a rics can bo obtuiuo<l. C This year has taught us the lesson that we can ti raise our owm food cheaper thau we can buy it from the West, and without materially inteiTer- o ing with the cotton up, so that it uulv needs the repeal of ttie Lien Law to compel uur farmers to make their farms self sustaining nnd enable li them to demand cash for their cotton, with J which they can buy all their meat- nnd 1 believe 1 they will raise that in a few years?groceries, t dry goods, and farming implements 50 per cent, r cheaper than we do now. That save r.ill enn~ I ble us to ndd something to the public school a fund and demand better teachers for the better education of our childieu, and givo the Ministers of the Gospel better salaries i All this we can do out of the money now sent i west for bacon, corn and hay, and the exorbi- g taut prices we pay for all our supplies, under | the Iicii law. The present Trial Justice system is too heavy a burden for tho people to carry. The costs paid t to Trial Justices, by the County alone, would i much more than pay a County Judge a hand- t some salary, and do awa/ with the temptations ? to encourage litigation or extort fees for services i not actually rcnJcre I. But this is not ttie worst s feature in the present system. I am told that each Trial Justice in this County, on an average, ( has a jury trial e.ery Saturday?some of them i more than that. Now every t rial calls from their ? employment six jurors and from sir to twenty witnesses, besides the principals in the case nnd c loungers, in all not often less than twenty per- i ' sons, whose businesses demand their presence. Thus, in the ten townships about 20U persons ' spend one day in every week attending 'I'ria. Justice's courts And what makes it still worse in more than liulfi he cases, the amount involved dou't amount to the Trial Justice's fees/ nor is < the peace and dignity of the County disturbed" 1 to nny greater extent tlimn n? knock down. A ' County Judge, with a reasonable salary, could ' Hold three courts a year in each township, on# 1 week or less to each, and do all the work, sav- 1 ing time: and money, and keeping dov/n much had feeling and many petty lawsuits. ' Now, candi laics for the Legislature, we wish to hear fro .1 you on these imich-'alked-of sub- 1 jects. TllUK DKMOCllllATS. ... ( For the Times. fad Wamiag. Mti.

Our Children. We had the pleasure of attending an examination of the pupils of the "Union Female Acad, einy" on last Wednesday, nnd it is due to hoik teacher and pupil, to say that they acipii led themselves most creditably The examination was not a public one. It was for the grwifioilion of the patrons and trustees and designed to illustrate the "esprit de corps" as well as the protieie cy of the institution, in which it was eminently successful. The juvenile department, under Miss Harlan, was brought out in full force. The children were prompt, orderly and at ease. We were particularly interested in, to us, the novel mo.Is of teaching grammar hy diagram. The study of grammar has always been a dreary waste to our eye. nnd in this diagram system " the young idea may ?e taught to shoot" at something higher , than the old gome of "A verb is n word which ] signifies to be. or to do, or to suffer." The graduating clans, of six young Misses in their teens, have good reason to he prou I of I their performance in Geology. Physical Geography. Moral Philosophy and French.
