Mr. Dclioff. who had been appointed alternate, was then called upon and responded with mo tolIOWing essay ou "little things." If wo could como back to this world after wo havo left It and bo permitted to read our biog raphy, as written In our local paiicrs, wo would doubtless express surprlso at how llttlo is known nlxmt us. If wo think ot tho many fragrant flowers of tho prairies, wo think of tho few that bo that sco them. Ifwoadmlrothe beauties of th.9 ucav6n W0 tliink of tlio low Whoso sightless oyes cannot behold llieln. If wo think of tho rOS'l la eternal happiness, wo think of how few them be that find it. So on through our researches' Mt find tho minority, llttlo things, bobbing up or sym pathy or envy. Small drops of water fbfra tho ,-ceair, small grains of sand form t lie great lalifl. Llltio.klnd words fill our homes with happi ness, white Jlttlo words of auger aud prido bring destruction thereto. Carelessness in training tuc yontns in mo homo brings certain fall nnd overthrow to n nation. Theso nro all llttlo things In them selves, and If wo daro mention them whilo they nro apparently uufostcred, woaro branded 'croakers," which are llttlo tilings in mem- selves. If wo persist in onr efforts to avert tho effect wo becomo "cranks," but then tltcro seems to bo n demand for this sort of an Indi vidual even amid these times of over produc tion of cvory other classof lalorcrs, pcoplo who daro say tho little things that others only daro to think. Wo might say a very small portion of this stato nio farmers, and yet from them tho stato must exuect Its nlllars, thercforo, tlio littloacts of politeness of necessity art) to bo nurtured as well as stocks and bonds. A smllo is a llttlo thlug, yet Its worth can not bo told. A kind word is a llttlo thing, yet it Is of wy much moro value than a small, angry word. A "thank you." or "If you please," cost no dollars, dimes or cents, yet it erects an altar of rovcrenco nud love, and the Word says: "If yo lovo not tho brcthrci whom yo see, how can you love Mo whom ye have not seen?" So how necessary theso llttlo things are to our present and future welfare. Who has not had an ideal day, such as ho might wish over again? It was made up of deeds of kindness nnd wordsof love, and being thus, it was a thing of beauty, n joy forever. Did you ever read tho story of tho man whoso wlfo'had n loving disposition which was sanctioned nt flrst, but tho busy cares soon changed tho touo of tho man's "ha ha love, to "go away I'm tired" nnd sho soon pined aud soon went to Mm, who is lovo. A No. 3 soon took her place of vastly dlflcrcut disposition aud whoso roughness sot the mau to sco how much there Is wanting in the homo when lovo is wauting. It is a llttlo thing to cherish tho aflcctlons of youth In greetings and farewells, yet tho remorse of gratitudo is not always a llttlo thing. In tho homo it is well when not nil tho brains nro found In onobend, but where reason nnd judgment blend In plans nud speci fications, building a house, which is one of tho trltles that lead to tho perfections of ft nation. At this end all tho good minds aim. Tho trno mother loves to sco her child heed wisdoms ways, nnd thus lay up a good arno which Is worth more thau silver or gold. Tho truo wlfo loves to havo n husband who Is known as n usoful citizen and a man in Its broader sense, and who never grows too big to baby her when sho Is ill or weary. Tho true son aud daughter loves to seo his parents walk in loving council up and down tho hills of life honored in their community. Did you over sit by tho sido of your wlfo that sho did not recount numerous llttlo things sho wished you to do, there was tho yard to mow, a panncl of fenco to change, a bush to trim, n bucket to Mint, a picture to admlro oh yes, and so many other things which you would havo admired in her managerial eye years ago, but which now, you considered as intrusion on your good nature. A kind reply assuring her you had inclinations hi tho samo way would havo been a llttlo thing to you, but is Indispensable tothohappinessof ahomo. Whilo tho malo members meet hero to ox- chango recipes of n pecuniary class, might It not 1)0 profltablo to havo tho ladles oxcliango lcclpes for tho cultivation and promotion of better dispositions. Less wantlngs and moro glvlngs, which would bo llttlo things, hut would cast vast intluence.. PRESIDENT LAWRENCE WRITES. Tho following communication was received from President Lawrence: At Hosie, Jnno 10, 1805. To tho officers and members of tbo Stark coun ty Horticultural Society. Ladies and Gentlemen: This letter is submitted to you as an upology for my leaving you rather unceremoniously at our last meet ing held May 15th at tlio resilience or our worthy member, Watson Wise. Tho only cx- cuso I can offer Is, that I was fooling very unwell, and had I been at homo would moro than likely havo spent my time in bed, This you wlllapprcclato more fully when I toll you that in a vory short tlmo after tins I was taKcn down by a severe spell of sickness, confined to bed for two weeks, and anotbor week to tlio house. And I very much regret my inability tomottwlthyouthls day to 6nJoy with yon our Juno meeting, tho most oujoyablo mtetlug of tho year. I desiro to submit to you tho following: I would suggest that wo turn our attention to tho cultivation of tho apricot for the following reasons: First, tho trco is hardier thau tho mnch desired poach tree, and Us fruit to a great extoht takes tho place of tho peach. I havo but. -oiio apricot tree, it passed through last winter's sovcre weather, without injury to a single twig, whilo my poath trees wcro nil badly winter killed, aud this spring showed no sign of fruitage, whilo tho apricot mado a nico display of blossom and a very good sotting of fruit. Of course our Into frosts killed tbo fruit, when already of good Blze. For tho table it is our opinion tho apricot excclls tho peach, At our last meeting tbo best method of treat ing new vines (or fruit growth) of tbo grapo after a killing frost, wns qnlto oxteuslvcly dis cussed, nud ns usual, different oplnluus pro vailed. I am now prepared to give you my experience on these different methods of treat ing the now growth of tho vines, after n sovcre freeze, by cutting, breaking off, or 'allowing them to remain as tho frost left them. Those left nlouo havo mado up to this tlmo very little new growth, and some of tho old vinos looked sickly, and I belie vo will die. As to the cutting or breaking off method, I see very little difference. Ifauy exists I am rather Inclined to 'believe tlmt the breaking off is. -the better way to treat tbwu. f am tbwtbiy U Ktk omum Society. Exhibit of ferments, nnd returns Into nnd poisons tho parent vine. A llttlodlgrcsslonhcroplcnso. ABoursocloty Is largely composed of agriculturalist as well as hortlcultumllsts I deem it proper to speck of tho rather gloomy outlook of our growing crops. Present appearances would indlcato that our hay crop will fall far short of tho do maud for tho coming winter. It also appears that onr wheat crop has been greatly Injured by tho severe frosts In May last. By this tlmo It will bo qnlto apparent as to whether our wheat fields will pay to allow them to ripen up and go through tho usual and somewhat ex pensive form of gathering threshing and marketing tno grain. Hay Is now bringing in tho market 10 to 17 dollars per ton. I take it 4 that almost auy of your wheat fields would 'cut n ton of hay to tho aero which would pay you better than fl.2.1 per bnshel for your wheat. And I can say to you In nil confidence gained from nctual experience, that ono ton of wheat hay will go fts far as ono and ono half tons of tho best timothy hny you havo over had in your mow. It should bo cut from n week to ten days boforo it would tlpcn. In tho great frost gf 18001 bad nothing to feed my slock but frozen wheat hay nnd 1 must say T nnvr lmi1 atnrk lftok so well In tllOS,IlnB And further I would ndvlso tho sowing of com and oven millet although a llttlo lato perhaps for tho latter. It will certainly pay you. Kcspcctiuuy ours, Georoe W. Lawrence. President Stark county Horticultural Society, RETORT OF ORCHARDS. J. F. Roth: Tlio fruit of this part of country will not reach 1-1 per cent. O.

Clayton Holl: T7I11 havo about a i crop If nil on trees now remain. Havo more apples lu orchard than any ono year for ten years not moro than half a dozen frees but what havo apples on. Will havo abost one half crop of raspberries. H. II. Anltfathcr: Havo four trees of Ben Davis nnd ono of Grimes golden full, two trees of Baldwin very fall. If half fall off still bo enough loft. Think thcro will be crop In my orchard . Ten or tw clvo orchards near, not 1-5 of crop. No cherries or quinces, pears al most all fallen off. Kcport of one man's orchard who will havo 100 bushels of pears. Raspberries on high ground almost full crop, on low ground no crop, think thcro should not bo moro than I crop If thcro had been no frost on account of dry weather. Recommends cutting back canes and cultlvato for next year letting tho few berries go. Watson Wise: Asks will It bo prolitablo to raiso 160 bushels of raspberries to the acre? Ho thinks not, it requires too much fertilizer, satisfied with sixty or soventy bushel. H. H. Aulttathcr: Cultlvato more, need less manures, somo nro satisfied with nnything others not satisfied nt nil. Thoso that gtvo nil attention reap best crop. C. W. Faust: Keep cultivator going It adds moisture to havo deep bed of looso earth. I. F.

Thluk thcro will not bo ono bushel when ripe. Mr. Bitzcr: Wants tho report from different sections of tho county; tho report Is likely to bo over estimated unless n full report Is given, Ho will havo ono-half crop in his orchard, but ho always has apples; has n protected situation Pear trees around his houso aro full, but thoso in orchard havo all had to bo cut back on nc' count of cap blight.

Tho pioneers and Pennsylvania society, which united two years ago held their nuuual meeting at tho city park Saturday.

Somo of tho pioneers did not attend Wcauso they thought tho Pcnnsylvanlans wcro holding It, whilo only a few Pcnnsylvan lans wcro present becauso tho Impression had gono forth that only tho pioneers wcro Invited, Tho meeting was not called to order In the forenoon owing to tho small attendance About 1:30 tho assembly, gathered in tho art hall, was rapped to order by president It.

It Is my hones and deliberate judgment that Kobcrt A. Cnsjldy is n genuine "Dutch j'nnkcc," which of ftfl other kinds of yankecs Is tlic hardest to make pcaco with. As an In stance, 1 rtlll state that on last Monday after noon I won't up town for tho first tlmo in five days, having 'n sick during that time, and lu front of tho Edtft Mc-ck I met Bro. Cassldy, and ho at onco laid hold upon mo nnd said I must prepnto n paper upon tho olden tlmo for this occaslou. I tried to beg- PU, saying tuo tlmo was too short aud that I was not Jecllng well. But ho would uot tako no for an au- swer. Now I ask this Intelligent audience if that was not moro cheeky aud yankce-llko on tho part of Bio. Cassldy to Insist under such circumstances thau can bo fouud on tho faco of any Now England yankce? But as I am tbo son of honest aud Industrious Pennsylva nia parents, and wns always taught to obey my superiors, I had no other alternative than to go to work. In my mind's cyo I went out on West Tus carawas street as far as tho residence of Mrs. Cathcrino Meyer, widow of tho lato Joseph Meyer, aud this, I said, Is tbo old John Harris mansion that C3 years ago stood solitary and alono and qulto a distance out of tho corporato limits. Tlio west corporato limit at that tlmo was Wells street, which is tho narrow street just west of the high school building. The Harris mansion was ono of tbo best in its day, tho changes and additions havo been few, tho building of tho present porticos aro probably tho most marked. Hon. John Harris was a mau of great natlvo ability, having been raised ou a farm, but at tained a great reputation in his chosen profes sion of law. When ho had an Important caso on band for trial, it was a common tblngto see him walking up homo speaking to himself and making gestures, In tho preparation of somo strong plea beforo tho conrt. I havo often seen him thus do. Mr. Harris was au honest mau nnd much respected by all who knew him. I then went ou westward and found no other houso nntil just on this sido of Joseph Dick's agricultural works stood tho modest frame house occupied by Ignatius Picro, who had lately como hero fiom Germany. A history Is connected with this houso I may refer to It at this time: It had formerly Leen owned and occupied by my uncle, Johu Slnsscr, fa ther of tho lato Dr. Lewis Slusscr, and stood ou tlio Fulton road where tho homo of tho lato Geo. E. Smith had been until ho died. Philip Dowalt, sr., father of Gcorgo aud Daniel Do wait, built tho old Geo. E. Smith houso, which was n brick bulldlug; and at that tlmo tho Picro houso first spoken of, was sold and re moved to West Tuscarawas street. Tho Picro houso has long since been replaced with other buildings. Now wo go on ncross tho bridge, but find no other houscs.'nud at tho poiut whero Hazlctt avenuo now runs north from Tuscarawas street tho Masslllon road bore oft to tho right, and run along a kind of ravluo, passing somo two hundred feet north of Charles C. Cook's- resi dence and lu front of tho David Smith home, tho samo ns now; from thcro tho road kept on westward until Just this Bldo of Floom's tavern at tho present sito of ltecdurban, It came Into tho Masslllon road. But at that tlmo tho pres ent road, known as tho Masslllon road from Hazlctt rtvenuo to Eeedurban was not then opened, all at that time was occupied by tho Smith fields or tho plaius lairds. About two miles west of tho creek, along this old Masslllon road, auothcr road branched off to tho right leading to Canal Fulton via tho Whipple's, Freeman's, Scott's nnd Clay's, com ing out nt tlio Mud brook bridge, making tho dlstauco from Cantou to Canal Fultou fully ono mllo shorter than any road wo now havo to said plaro; but theso old roads havo loug sluco becu vacated. Tho Whlpplo farm at ono time- was entirely dovotcd to tho raising of tobacco, and henco was widely known as "Tho Tobacco Farm;" aud tho Scott farm was about as well known by tho namo of "Sheep Farm," as many sheep at ono tlmo were kept and raised there. About sixty years ago, a sad accident oc curred on tho old Masslllon road not far from where said road crosses Buck hill. Gardner Field, au active and much respected young businessman, of Masslllon, had becu over to Canton xho night beforo attending a ball at tho old Eagle Hotel, and started homo early tho noxt morning lu his "gig" n common modoof travel In thoso days. Somo tlmo thereafter ho was fouud near tho abovo point dead. It was supposed that from tho loss of sleep tho night beforo he bad fallen asleep and fell out of tho "gig," his feet getting caught In tho lines and his head dragging along ou tho fro.cu grouud. As that was the condition ho was found In aud tho momlng was a cold ono. Mr. Field was a brother of the late William Field, who for years bad beounjusttcoof tho peace in Masslllon and afterwards removed to Uoiumbus, Uhlo, whero ho also held tho samo otrlco until 1601, when ho died. Tho old brick farmhouse occupied by David Smith was built by his father Jacob Smith, but ho laftcrwards built his Unseed oil mill down by tho crook, aud thou built for himself tho old brick houso yet starting on tho hill Just west of tho power house" of tho city water works. Tho raco now tisefl to conduct the water from tho reservoir to tho power house was built by Jacob Smith for his oil mill which was a wooden building, standing ou the present slto of tho power house. In those days Masslllon was tho great "Wheat City" of this region and did more business at that time iu ono week than Canton did In n ruoutn. There wcro no railroads then in Ohio aud the Ohio canal was much used for passenger traillo as well m for heavy freUht. Our vtnerable friend Kob. U. Folger mmsmou, btauwn ui mi m mm y days. Ho was quito popular among tho travelers of that time. On ono occasion Mr. Folger was highly honored and pleased, it was in having Hon. John Qnlncy Adams ns n passenger on his boat. I supposo this honored mid excellent ex-president of tho United States wns never lu Stark county except on that trip.Canton wns "not In it" at that time. In thoso days it was no uncommon thing to seo tho farmers with their empty wheat teams returning from Masslllon loaded down with immigrants from tho old world ;indn most worthy nnd thrifty class of pcoplo they proved to be. Those wero tho days that brought to us our Blechclcs, Daunomlllcrs, picros Wlkl dals, behacfers, Crovolscs, Bechcls, Dcubles and many others had we tlmo to enumerate them. Tho bags well filled with silver dollars and flvo frank pieces brought by theso new comers in thoso days wcro very helpful to thoso that had them and greatly revived busi ness of all kinds. Wcro such pcoplo to land In our midst now many of our icoplo would say that thoy had come from a country whero they wcro in favor ot tho free colnagoof stiver. Tho Bethlehem or Navarro road turned to tho left from Tuscarawas streets Just opposlto from whero tho Masslllon road Iwro oil to tho right and went diagonally across tho present beautiful Dncbcr grounds and continued in that direction until Buck hilt was reached at tho point then knows as tho "Jack" Stidgcr farm, but In later years known as tho Lewis J. Wiso farm. I havo no recollection of thcro being a single houso along said road, at the early period I refer to, after you left Tuscara was street until you got to tho Stldger farm house. Tho Navarro road now running nloug from that point paralcl with tho Ft. Wayno railroad and Into Petersburg was not then opened out nnd Petersburg (tonthwest Canton) and tho Ft. Wayuo railroad had not then ban as much ns thought of, much less built, ; In tbo'v WXl? "lays tho best harvesting machines known were tho cradle and somo still adhered to tho sickle, but a modem reaper was not then dreamed of, nor yet a mowing machine beyond tho aid Dutch scythe; tho English scythes mado their appearance at a later day nnd many tho fathers of thoso days died beforo a mower or reaper had over been made. Tho women of this country and tho men and boys gcncrallp from Canton would turn out to delp tho farmers of thoso days during tho tlmo of harvest. I well io member often going out aud helping iu said capacity thcro was a placo for all who felt disposed to work. Sixty-flvo years ago there were but few grist mills In this country, nnd they were generally quite small, but within three years time three largo mills for thoso times wcro put up aud finished, ono was John bhorb's brick flouring milt, known to us now as Blake's mills in Cantou aud Fogtc'S frame mill at North In dustry.but known later on ns Goodwill's mill, and still later ns Brownings. Then thcro was Slaukcr's mill, kown as tho high mills, at Mnd Brook, about niuo miles West of Canton, near tho Fulton road. All thrco mills wero put up under the supervision ofa man by tho namo of Koch, a mill right of wide reputation In thoso days'. Ho lived on West Tuscarawas street, Canton, in tho samo house now occupied by Mrs. Madison Reynolds and the family of her son Joshua Reynolds, bnt tho houso has been greatly Improved since that day. All theso mills wcro run for years by water power, but in later years adopted steam power. Tho Foglo mills at North Industry wcro burned down a few years ngo, but tho other two still stand. Tho Shorb mill had a narrow csrapo somo years ago, when tho upper part of tho building was destroyed by fire, but was after wards rebuilt. In thoso days wo had no hat stores to go to; If a new hat was wanted the only sure way to get one, was to go to tho hatters and get your head measured, aud wait until ono could bo made. Wo had at ono tlmo four of these kinds of shops In Cantou. Ono was ou West Tuscarawas street, Just cast of tbo present Y. M. C. A. building, conducted by Conner Sweeney, who was a practical hatter, and was at all times ready to tako orders for cither wool or fur mado hats, for boys, young men, or gray haired fathers. Then on East Tus carawas street, known at that tlmo as "Sleepy hollow" was Geo. N. Webb, and Ellas D. Albert, Mr. Albert's shop stood for many years near whero tho Geo. D. Hartcr bank building now stands. After Geo. N. Webb was elected sheriir of tho county I think ho nocr opened out a hat shop again. At least I havo no recollection of it. I think E. D. Albert learned his trado with John fecroggs, who had carried ou tho hatting business iu former years on tho lot now occupied by A. Knt zenberg's meat market. Ills sou Jacob Scroggs is still living in Bucysus, au honored man at tho bar iu that placo. Then thcro was old Valentino Bockius, grand father of our worthy citizen L. V. Bockius who was ahattcr by trade, and In early days had a shop on Walnut street. I nm not sure, where Iti was located, but think it was on tho lot whero McGluity's blacksmith shop now stands, N. E. corner Walnut and fith strut. On S. Market street was Potcr Toflcr, who lived in a small two story brick building, tho iudentical ono now occupied by my noighbor E. J. Rex, as n residei)cc;thls building then set up close to tho edge of tho pavement and with tho sldo face Ing tho street Instead ol tho end as now. it then set quito low down nearly on a lovel with tho pavement. Mr. Toiler was n most excel lent christian mau a very devoted member of M. E. church, and qnlto exemplary in all his business nnd walks of llfo. Ho had several daughters, who becanio useful women, iu actlvo christian work, ono was tho wifo of tho lato Hon. Win. Dunbar who died several years ago In Mt. Vernon, Ohio, at ono tlmo ho was one of Canton's best school teachers, Peter Toflcr had but ono son, whoso namo was George, and qulto singular to say, ho became ono of tho most habitual drunkards of that day: ho was naturally klud hearted, and tolerably well informed but ho could; not bo broken from his Inordi nate uso of Intoxicating liquors; his habits of llfo doubtless brought his good old father many achingsoftbohcait, Gcorgo never was married, and died lu tho midst of life, becauso of his iutempcrato habits. Old father Toller died at a ripo old ago honored and loved by all who know him. Old father Toflcr had also becu a soldier iu tho revolutionary war so that ho was not only honored as a soldier of tho cross, but a truo soldier in defence of his country, iu tho tlmo of great peril. Theso men nro nil gono, nud tho business they onco so industriously followed Is passed from our sight forever, and yet we, nor our boye aro compelled to go bareheaded, becauso wo have no hat makers living In our midst. But on occasions llko this, it renews our youth to review somo of tho scenes of tho past, and stimulates us to practlco tho virtues of thoso who havo gono beforo us, and strengthens us to shnn tho vices nnd follies of thoso who havo mado mistakes. May woall bo found contend ing for tbo principles of righteousness, and opposed to all that degrades and ruins, so that it may bo said of us when we have passed bo yond, they did what they could to redeem a fallen raco. JOHN LAIRD. An essay 'written by John Laird, who la 60 years old nnd who wns not feeling well enough to attend the mooting was thou read by Mr. Cassldy. Tho subjoct of the paper was, "Odd tlmeTstorokoopiug." Ho said that when Canton was iu its infancy each store kept articles of all kinds. That in those day tbo clerk, In stead of placing the goods nnon tho counter lor tno customer to iook at, nciu a long poimcr lu his hand and pointed to various articles Wlked pf by the customer, The dry goods was MWsmt&kjLlUiiirtof (& tho stores of the town, their situations and their owners. Mr. Cassldy then read another csy written by Mr. Laird on Canton In 1813. A brief description of tho town ns It appeared at that tlmo was given. Then, Stark county's first court houso stood on tlio present Islto of hotel Yohc. The flrst iourt, however, ever held lu Canton wns held In the tavern standing whero now is the Canton Hardware buildlne. At that time Ijist Tuscarawas street from tho lK)ttom of the hill tut was nothing but a blgmndholo. It was full of rails which had been used to pry up wagons that had becanio fast lu tho mud. Piles of rails wcro oven kept nloug tho roadside for that purpose In that year Cnnton had two lawyers, but ono of theru tho following year rau nway with auothcr man's wlfo nnd then for a whilo only ono man of tho law resided here. Thrco doctors nlso numbered nmong (anion's Inhabitants iu that year and their principal modo of treatment was bleeding. Mr. Archibald McGregor followed with an essay on tho early history of our country. Tho privations and struggles of tho first Inhabi tants wcro told iu a (triple manner. Mr. Mc Gregor stated that after ho had heard all theso thlugs about Canton he also thought of a few things about It that might bo of interest. Ho said that ho lcliced Canton had tho flrst power printing press ever iu Ohio, and told several other Interesting facts. A few remarks by ltcul)cn Erwln and Dr. Young wcro also listened to. TO DISSOLVE PARNERSIIIl'. Mr. Jacob Shaub then brought tho meeting Into e lively discussion by making a motion to havo tho namo Pennsylvania society dropped fiom tbo mamc of the organization. Ho said that ho mado tho motion in tho Interests of tho Pcnnsylvaulaus, that as loug ns that society held sepcrato meetings a largo crowd wns al ways iu attendance but sluco tho union tho meetings had been poorly attended. After much discussion tho motion was withdrawn on the condition that tho officers should sco that tho meetings hereafter would bo properly and well advertised as a meeting of both tbo Pcnnsylvanlans and piouccrs. Election of officers for tho ensuing year fol lowed, resulting thus President, It. A. Cas sldy; secretary and treasurer, John Ramsey; cxccntlvo committee, Johu Dauucr, J.
