IText Township Organization having received a majority of the votes cast at the late election, it will be interesting to know the next steps to be taken to supereede the old system.

"The County Board shall at its next session (in December) appoint three commissioners, residents of the county, to divide the county into towns. The commisilonen so appointed shall be paid for their services by the county." "Ths commissioner! so appointed shall proceed to divide such county into towns, making them conform to the townships according to government surveys. Fractional townships may be attached to adjoining towns, making them conform to the townships according to government surveys. Fractional townships may be attached to adjoining towns where the number of the inhabitants or the amount of the territory thereof shall not be sufficient for a separate town, (as is the case with township 4, 10, with only 70 inhabitants). Where a township shall have too few Inhabitants for a separate organization, then such township may be added to some adjoining town, or divided between two or more towns for the time being.

And when a creek or river so divides a townsHp'that it is inconvenient for transacting town business, then such creek or river may be made the town Coundary, and the fractions so formed may be disposed of as other fractional "Towns shall be named in accordance with the express w.sh of the Inhabitants of the if shall not be a degree of unanimity as to the name, the commissioners may 'designate the name, provided that the County Board shall have the power to change the name of any town in their respective counties upon a petition of the majority of the voters of said town and Drovidcd.jurthcr, that no two towns in the State shall have the same name." (There is already a town of Highland in Grundy county, of Madison in Richland, of Monticello in Piatt, and of Troy in Will.)

Reviewing the results of the ele-tion, the New York Tntnint despairs of the Democracy at last, and says: But their stupidity is adamantine. No- thin; penetrates it. When the people, rising np against degeneracy, the corruption, and greed and recklessness of the party in power, give to the Democrats, SB they did last fall, the opportunity to show their capacity and their disposition to do better, the occasion is frittered away and the opportunity wasted by some such tremendous blander as was made In Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Louin. Nov. excitement over the crusade upon the Whisky King here is increasing with every day thai passes, and the condition of things becomes more critical for those implicated. During the sessiou of the Grand Jury in May aud June Isnt many efforts were made on the part of the Government to induce various members of the King to make a clean breast of what they knew. All the members of the indicted firms were severally interviewed by personal friends, and tbey were begged to come forward aod tell all they knew, and some of them were reported by such friends as willing to do so, and were accordingly summoned before the Grand Jury, but when there resolutely declared that they knew nothing the existence of any Whisky King, and de nied all knowledge of auy irregularities, Buoh as were charged against the parties respecting whom they were questioned.

Wheo the Grand Jury adjourned, the timentary evidence was very conclusive bnd voluminous, but did not involve any parties except rectifiers, distillers, aud gangers, and thus there were uo indictments against many ol the well known Whisky King leaders. Matters were iu ihia condition wbett Judge Krekel's court, in the Western District of Mimmuri, began its session on tLe 1st Monday iu Septum- b.r, and the developments that followed lei to the indictment of Col.

It occurs, also, that his statement in regard to our orator being ''on the committee of Judges," is unwarranted, as he only retired with them as an adviser, by virtue of his position on the Executive committee.

The delegates' "refutation of some of 'Y's' statements" is mainly equivocal, aud calculated to mislead those not acquainted with the circumstanced, as much as are "Y's" statements. Besides, some of the delegates themselves, after their return, made reports directly opposite to the tenor of their communication of the 5ih. Some explanation is needed as to why the stu- ilei-ts entrusted the appointment of dele- Bales to tbe Faculty. The Faculty had assumed tbe appointment of the orator, and lorbidden the expression of any dissenting opinion; hence the students, keeping in mind consistency, abstained from the proffered privilege of electing delegates. At tbat "full meeting" the impression was offered that the Faculty in each institution represented in tbe Association, retained the right to the orator.

Subsequent developments have dispelled that illusion. It is well known, also, that some of Ihe delegates are heartily ashamed of having ieeu induced to attach Iheir names to the iove mentioned communication. VBRITAS.

The ou orchards was opened by A. A. Hilliard, of Brighton, who declared Ibat be was discouraged iu bis eiforta to grow appUs for the markets. The business had ceased to be profitable. Tbe failure of crops, insect depredations, frost and climatic changes had reudertd orcharding uncertain and uuprofitable.

if there was any profit, it was in the line of converting the apple into cider. This rather radical statement brought to his feet James E. Starr, of Jersey county, wbo thought this question of very great importance. He did not want this statement of profit" to go out without his protest He knew that Dr. Long and other large apple growers had come to this same tbat orcharding had ceased to be profitable.

But this was not his experience. btlieveu that apples could be grown for '25 ceuts per bushel The great (rouble with our orchards is that the varieties are not well selected and locations are not good, hence the unprofitableness of the orchard. Attention should be paid to varieties, location, general cultivation and care, and then we will not have complaints that the orchard docs not pay. Furtl.er discussion, pro and was had upon the subject. The conclusion of the whole matter was that orcharding, well- tollowetl, will pay, not otherwise.

In answer to the question, what varieties of apples to plant 1 a long discussion followed. There was a wide range of opinions, but all agreed that tbe following were valuable varieties to plant for profit: Smith's Cider. Prior's Red, White Winter Penrmain, Porter, Wiuesap, Ganet, Limber Twig, Red Astrachan. These were mentioned, but are not a complete list. The vi-ry best winter apple is the Newtown ndulged in any member.

Three young girls of Greenfield, ted with the Whisky Ring for tbe last day or two, but he has nut been indicted or i it appear that he lias teeu before the Grand Jury.

A mysterious or letter signed by him bas been seen in pos- of members of ibe Ring, whieu is asserted by some of the whisky men to be bogus, and exhibited merely for effect What has been said concerning him, be it true or false, is only as a rumor. Coi. Chapman, head of the Stamp Bureau at Washington, is here to nssi-t in preparing evidence enabling the intelligent sentencing of tbe men who have plettdeU uuiliy, as well as to assist in tbe prosecution of others. He stated to-day any amount of testimony is ia tbe hands of Ibe Government, more tban it will be necessary to produce, especially in those thai have pleaded guilty. He also stated that overtures have been mane at Washington in behalf of some of Ihe guilty men, offering a surrender of all they possess on condition tbat the Government will not press the criminal part of tbe proceedings.

These overtures have been received with no disposition to consider them This is tbe position of things in St. Louis at this moment, and it is most likely that the week now before us will bring a contin uation of startling developments. It is not true, however, ibat any attempt hag yet been made to indict Krnio, Collector Casey of New Orleans, Orvilie Grant, or Gen. Babcock. None of the above names have yet been presented to the Grand Jury for indictment, so that, of the prominent people, William nf the Globe- Democrat, and Coustautine Miignire, the ex-United Slates Collector, are the most conspicuous placed under indictment.

It is thought that the trials of the members of the Ring who did not plead guilty will begin in this city on Tuesday or Wednesday. It may be that either Avery, Joyce, or McDonald will be the first case called, and, as most of the distillers and rectifiers are coupled with the above offenders, it is pretty certain that tbe entire range of testimony in the great whisky frauds of St. Louis will be brought out, and some highly iuterest- ing reading may be looked for. It is rumored that the Grand Jury will indict some new people on Monday, and reindict some of those already under indictment. There rill also he further confessionsof guilt, and a good deal of Interesting experience.

There will be, it is believed, no let up or compromise on the part of the GoVernmeut. No bargain haa been made with those who plead guilty, nor will Orant interfere. In fact, the prosecutions are now fully in the hands of an indignant people, and taey will be pushed to their fullest, conclusion, and all those who impede will be held strictly accountable. Pippin, but is not always profitable for market. Mr.

Snedeker said that the apple called Smith's Cider was not particularly a cider apple. It did not ta.Ke its name from any such supposed fact. There lived a gentleman in the Slate of Pennsylvania, who chanced to have tbis seedling. It grew to be a large tree, aud verv productive, it stood in a convenient location, so that the owner was in the habit of rolling under this tree his cider barrels, from which lact, the tree caine to be known as Smith's Cider. It is a profitable apple of fair quality.

ORNAMENTAL PLANTIKO. James Starr gave a glowing account of his recent visit, when in Chicago, to Drexal Park. Tbat which excited bra admiru- tion most was the gorgeous display of flowers, aud their beautiful and perfect arrangement. The taller-growing varieties were put iu the back ground, and so in gradations to the lower-growing varieties, wbicb were in the front, making a perfect bank ot' tiowera, for miles in length, and kept in perfect order. He said he never saw anything like it.

He was sure that if the members of this Society could see what he saw it would stimulate them to grow flowers, and it would show tbem bow much cau be done in even a small door yard. We are not yet fully educated in matters of ornamental planting. Col. W. H.

Fulkerson said that he saw the same thing in Fairmount Park, in Phil adelpbia, and was affected in the same way, thtit friend Starr was at sight of Drexal He did more. He look the names of tbe different varieties, and bought seeds tnd plants nnd went home, and tried to copy the park. The result was the raggedest flower bed you can imagine. He missed the arrangement, and the tall growing varieties, and low growing sorts were in confusion. OS VEGETABLE.

Mr. Murtfeldt Wasted our hopes with reference to a good time coming, when the Lord would appear for our deliverance and sweep away our insect enemies without our agency. He said that time never would come. Even my friend Gill here has apples that ure wormy. True, he has much fruit that is better tban the apple, that he does njt look very closely after his apple orchard.

Mr. have turned my apple orchard over Io Mr. Kiley to take care of. Mr remedies are at hand for heading off, for example, the Coddling moth, but what is tbe use of prescribing remedies if they are not applied? Eternal vigilance is the price of good fruit.

It has given us books of fiction for the sentimentalist, learned oooks for the scholar and professional student, but few books for the people A book lor the people must relate to a subject of universal interest. Such a subject is the physical man, and such a book "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," acopy of wbicb has been recently laid on our taule.

The high professional attainments of its U. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. the advantages derived by him from an extensive practice, would alone insure for bis work a cordial reception. But these are not the merits for which it claims our attention.

The author is a man of the people. He sympathizes with them in all their afflictions, efforts, and attainments. He perceives their knowledge of and believing that all truth should be made as universal as God's own sunlight, from hia fund of learning and experience he has produced a work in which be gives them tbe benefits of his labors. In it he considers man in every phase of his existence, from the moment he emerges "from a ray- less atom, too diminutive for the sight, until he gradually evolves to the maturity of those Conscious Powers, the exercise of which furnishes subjective evidence of our immortality." Proceeding upon the theory that every fact of mind has a physical antecedent, be has given an admirable treatise on Cerebral Physiology, and shown the bearings of thy facts thus established upon individual and social welfare. The author believes with Spencer, that "as vigorous health and its accompanying higb spirits are larger elements of happiness than any other things whatever, the leaching how to maintain them is a teaching that yields to no other whatever," and accordingly has introduced an extensive discussion of the methods by which we may preserve Ihe integrity of tbe system and oft- times prevent the onset of disease.
