The attention of Uncle Sam's mail boys between the Journal office and Levi Frecman.'s residence at Newman's Grove is particularly directed hither. Mr. Freeman writes us saying that he "can get the paper only every two weeks and some times not that often. The post master says it does not come to the office." We don't kno to just where the re sponsibility rests. We put up, in one pack, for Newman's Grove, five Journals, every week. If ouo gets there all should go. As wc have no complaints from other subscribers at Neman's Grove, wc conclude that the trouble is with tho postmaster al that place. B'lder- 'ITliomafi.

Next Sabbath he will preach for the Baptist church of Caldwell, Mo., and on the ISth for the Baptist churches of Hiawatha, Kan., and Aspinwall, Neb. Then he intends returning home.

North. longlook Club A paper written by Judgo J. G. Higgins on Forest Tree Culture, was read by the Secretary, which, by re quest of the Club, will be published in full in the Journal. It contains very many valuable suggestions. Sonic discussion arose among the members of (he Club, upon a ques tion by Mrs. J. H. Reed as to the dying off of coltonwood trees. Mr. Griffin said he had been told that after three years of age, cotton woods suffered by cultivation. Mr. Ernst corroborated Mr. niggins's assertion that tho cotlouwood flourished where there was abundance of moist ure by giving an instance of a cottouwood 8 years old, one and a half feet iu diameter, with roots as big as his arm and 22 feet long, fol lowing the well curbing to the water. He was satisfied they flourished best in a moist, sandy soil. In the "drawer" were queries as to the desirability of barbed-wire fences, and as to the relative merits of horse aud hand cornplantcrs. All who spoke on planters signified strong preference for the horse planter, for uniform depth as against shallow and irregular planting by hand-planter; aud because it packed the ground above the seed. It was slated also that the rows could be better kept in shape. If the hand planter had any friends in the club, they didn't champion its cause. The discussion of barbed-wire, iron fences showed that the mem bers of the Club were in favor of some method, of more clearly indi cating to animals the location of the fence than was possible by the use of wire only. Some suggested a (op board; others objected that this would requiro additional iron posts every eight feet, which would make it too expensive. Judge Hig gins had seen zinc used in place of the upper wire. Instances of great danger and injury to man and beast were given by Jacob Ernst and P. S. Griffin, and the discussion was closed. The reader of selections read two articles from the Farmers' lievieio, "How to Make a Farmers' Club, Interesting," and "The Lightning Rod Dispenser." a farm ballad by Will Carleton. The latter very neatly as well as fully expresses the feelings of a farmer who ''signed an agreement to pay so much a foot,"aud was "stuck" for ;?200.
