All over eastern part ol the State, and especially so in uemgn county, tbe tarmera are bavins great dim culty in engaging belp aa farm hands for the coming spring and summer. Quite a number of agriculturists gave as the reason for their retire. ment from fftruimg tbe fact that it is next to im possible to obtain competent men to do tbe necea.

sary work, while others are threatening to follow suit, Quite a Dumber of fanners have from time time been compelled to resort to. the employment of green foreigners, and from all ac. conntg their experience baa been far from satisfactory. The problem of securing help" upon farm is a serious one and grows more troublesome year by year. No one Beams able to point way out of tbe difficulty, and yet it is one of the chief drawbacks in successful farming.

une oi tbe reasons offered for the scarcity of farm hands is that farm hands have found a field more desirable labor and wider opportunity in factories, cement (marries and mills and vari industries, and also in towns and cities. It is merely a question of wages, for tbe wages of farm laborers were never higher, and the farm are willing to pay almost any price witbin reason, Din mere are so many other and more en ticing vocations open to young men that tbey gradually drift away from tbe farm.

Owing to the foct that Easter comes late this year, April 13th, many people are asking what it is that determines tbe date of the festival.

The answer is that it is tbe moon ot Marob, which Tennyson calls tbe roaring moon of daffodils." Tbe old rule is that Eas ter shall fall on tbe Sunday after the full moon which comes after tbe vernal equinox. That brings Easter this year on the 13th of April. In 1818 it fell on tbe S2d of March, tbe earliest date possible. It will however not fall npon that date again in this century. FOUND DEAD IN BED.

A FINE LEMON THEE, Mr, Charles Bach. owner of tbe Pottery Works on North Penn street, city, nae wnat is known as an American Wonder Lemon Tree. and it is true to name, in that the fruit on its limbs at present is really a wonder, a sample not yet nearly ripe measuring thirteen inches in circumference, and some tbe others are nearly as large. Tbe tree is good size, handsome in form and foliage, and regular and fructuous bearer, having always hanging on lots of lemons of all sizes and in all stages of maturity from tbe green as large as a to tbe fully ripened as large and larger than a follawalter" apple. At tbe same time it Is almost continually profuse in blossoms, this making it an object botb ornamental and UBeful.

Tbe big sample of fruitage now on its limbs wben tuny ripe will suffice to make all the lemonade usually required on onr fair grounds during fair time that is. Judging by tbe Quantity of flavoring and strength usually found In fair gronnd lemon ade, ibe fruit is unite a new variety raised from graft, a something necessary to make them bearers. It is the finest specimen of its kind in city, and perhaps in the county. Let all house plant amateurs in the neighborhood go and see it. THE HOUSEHOLD MARKET.

A RELIC OF THE OLDEN TIME. The late Aaron Gery, of Hereford Berks county, was the owner of a pocket knife at tbe time of bis death made at Lancaster, id this State, in the year 1760. Thongb it was in constant use for whittling and other purposes, passing down through a long line of years from lather to son, it is in good condition, and may last another century. It was of course well made originally, and of the best material, and must also bave been well taken oare of, elee it would bave gone out of existence long ago. It ia not as fine and handsome as tbe pocket knife of the present day, but because of the reminisoenses connected with it it is prized as a valuable souvenir by tbe children of tbe departed.
