"Tu ANsON HARDY CUTTINO MACHINES are the bes(, and oheapest lov priced machino made, and have a national repu tation for utility and durability."-Thie Dcctrotyper, cldcao. THE ANSON HARDY PAPER CUTTER is by far the best machine which can be ob tained for a less price than ono hundred dollars. It is of great strength. Theso machines have always taken the highest miand. It is the only machine to which is applied the Patent Movable Cutting Board. This device has a reltation ot itself: by it, the cutting board can be in stantly and accurately %noved, so that a perfect out is insured, This is a very im portant point in the machine, and one that is possessed by no other. It greatly reduces the labor of preparation in %%o rk ing the paper backward and Jorward. We cannot too strongly recommend .the advantages of this patent movable board. It is worth the price of this mahino, and purchasers should fully understand how highly it is to be valued."-Geo. P, Rowel & (b. ". Newspaper Reporler and Printer's Gazelle.

It is t level, pretty gi.ove, on the branch of the Yellow Brecehos creck. A characteristic issembly congregated thero on Friday, the occasionl beilg the 1'ri-State Picnic of the Patrons of Rsihanldry. It was a faitliful representiation of the activo agri niltural peoplo of this Section of ic countrv. There were ten thou iand peoplo present, including r-epresentatives fron all parts of Pcnnsylvaii, and from Marylaud d s far south as Martinsburg, Wst Virgiiia; the great majority, however, were from Clumberland, Daluphin and York couitics. The 1numerous baskets whIlicl ve!ro lin loaded shortly after the arrivals wvero also characteristic of the .rowd, and the contents wero such is would inspiro the "starving mil ions" with new hope.'i. It was 1e1monstrited that our agricultural ,ienlds fully enjoy tilt) first fruits of the earth. The firit spoaker wV Victor E Piollet, of Birolford county, the NAter -Granger of Peinylvania. [to began by remarking that, if the 1range movement is dad, it pro ien1ted her-o- the appearance of a very lively corpse. Ho bewailod the farmers' lack of representation in law.-making bodios, attributed [lie burdensome evils to isolation, I mdl(1 their remedy to organizattion meh as the Grange affords. Ho tdvocated a cliaingo in the tariff aws, placing on raw material the mime duties as on the m.nufactured trtices. S. R1. Downing, SAtto Lecturer, delivered ia brief, earnest Ippeal to farmers to join the 1r-aonge. Concurring in the opinion hat mind is to be the great )mancipator of tho agrieultural 3lass, lie recommended the Grango is a school whero knowledge is argely gained in reference to time ommercial am other interests of Ahe country. Professor ileiges, of; iork, delivered a very practical uldress to farmers. Io dlemon 4rated tha:t. a scion tifiC knowldOgd )f farming is necossary to continued m11ecess, and urged a change in tho mlic school systoi, that farmers' h11ildren may b oducatod for kgricultural as well as other pur-! mits. He0 illuistrated1 the p)revailing gnzorance among farmers as to the iocessity of returning to the soil ;he elomnents removed in crops, and 'oferrin~g to the decr'easo of tho~ iverage p)roduiction~ of crops to theo Lore (luring the past few decades, 1o asserted that unless a noew mystemi is inaugurated the gnestion ately d1iscussedl in ASeribner0/, "WV~il hIe Comning Ma~Tn D)rink Wino '?" vill lose force nlongsi do the greater luostion), Will the Coming M\an Eat 3read ? TIhxe grcat fundamental eds of agtriculture lhe exp~ressied in bree terms-good seed, good soil Lia goodl culture, and ind(ulgoid the mope that the Agricultural College >f Pennsylvania wou1ld instil tho >ropor ideas broadcast throughout he Commonwealth. So itoroste(d woro the hearers in lhe remarks that when tho speaker mnco offered to coaso, owing to rain ailing upon his audienco, he was allod upon to go on, and the slight ain did not diminish his hearers. A groat many of thme participants vore not members of thex Grango >rganization, b)ut all were farmers .s a class. The amuisomnonts com >rised dancing, boating and croquot. )uring thme afternoon a game was argely indulged in that might bo ormond an orthodox dance, as it is >ormissiblo at Sunday--school pie ics. It comprises several move nonts of the dance, and the music A set to a song of nine hundred md ninoty-nine verses, each verse tating that a cortain Girangor >ossessed a dog that rojoiced in the ognomen of Bingo. An aumusing tamo of base ball was played be-. ween nine fat men of Mechanics - )urg and a lean nine. The heavy veights were gau~dily attir&d in red knd blue. straw hiats. yellow coa6n., whito tronsors and striped stock.. ings, and wore badly worsted in the gamo. Tle rain, which had boon slight during the afternoon, became earliest before six oclock, but as it was not a crowd to become fright oned at rain, no serious consternav ioi cusued. The railroad had difliculty in transporting the im", monso crowd, but, excepting the delays, all reached their destina. tions safely. Literary Failures. The Detroit Free Press has the Ai.flowing : William Cax ton learned -ho printor's trade, and he mado filame, money and the gratitude of m1illions. A Detroit boy taught uiriself the same trade, and had just canvassed a dollar's worth of job work, when his office was seized for debt, he smash,)d his knoo-ca on the stairs, and his fathor scoldoT all the way home from the surgoon's, and theni added : "Now, boy, I don't want any more nonsenso 1 It will be some time yet before you will be too big to thiasli I" Milton never wroto'a poem worth publlishing till he began to rise at four o'clock in the morming. The fact being a matter of history, was road by the melancholy son of a well-known Detroiter. Ho there fore began rising at the hour named. As he went down stairs the old mam woke up, and said something about fools and harvest apples ; the old lady woke up, and told him to take black popper and milk, and soine one had left a hassock in the hall for him to fall over. He went out feel ing a trillo Miltonish, circled around over thle wet grass two or throe times, and then returned. to the house and began a poem. It was after Milton's style, as far as it went. It went as far as, "Oh! glorious morn-." It sticks there yet, for soveral rea sons, the main one being the advice of the old gentleman across the breakfast table, viz "If I'm routed up here at four o'clock to.-morrow morning, there'll be a jumipinigmatch around hero I" Mrs. Norton, author of "Bingen. on the Rhine," wrote the best whon sitting in the open air just at sundown. A. young lady in this city had boon trying to boat that poom for over a year, whon she discovered the key to success. It wasn't three ovenings ago whein she took a seat on the grass behind the house, arranged threo quires of foolscap and a new load pencil, and began : "A sutler in the army-no, a captain-lay dy ing oil the Rio Grando-thoro was lack of lint and bandages-no lack of sister's tears woul d be better -ho hold a tin -type in hisloft hand. The death dow-." It onded there, becauso seventeen boys in the alloy began to call out "I saw her in tie 'Black crook !' " "Writin' to her fellow to be there on tim6," ote., and when sho tried to bravo it out old barrel hoops, boots and bottlos began to got ripe on the tree, and fell like sparrowvs to the ground. She may try again, but it will be (down in thme basement, and aftei struggling for half a (lay she may decide to call the "Bingen" poem: "Benjamin on the Rye," put her name to it, and send it to some paper with a note saying: "If not ump to your standard, THEREi HAs been onsiderable criticism upon the custom nowv pre9 vailing among army oficers of signing their dispatches with their surnames only, their titles being appended. This has been called by some an affootation. Thme fact isa that it is (dono( in comnpliance with an order from the Adjutant GonrM al's office (No. 88, October 14, 1876), designed to effect economy in tolographliing. The paragraph re-. ferring to this matter says: "In signing a telegram the last name of an officer and the designation of his command or office are sufficient to make it authentic, as: Kautz, cono mand department; Taylor pay-. master ; Forbush, post adjutant ; Wood, assistant adjutant general ; Chandler, quartermaster ; Haskil, commanding detachment.
