Sit! JAMES .MLLtI:R.-One of the great-
est politicians in the county, and recently
a noted breeder of thoroughbred cattle
(until, indeed, Mr, Alex. Murdock got the
better of him on a deal for hos "Ingram
Daisy" -a cow which gave 3 pails of milk a
day) gave the citizens of Hensel' a sur-
prise on Monday last. For the past few
years Sir Miller's mind has been so en
grossed over politics and the study and
care of his stock that he had entirely ne •
glected in all that time to wash himself ;
and ou Monday having decided to take
unto himself a life partner, and to live a
more retired life, betook himself to the
village, where, (having very little money
since losing the mainstay of his herd) he
was taken iu charge by two of the tillage
philanthropists and cleansed. He was es-
corted to a stable, and with scrubbing
brushes in hand, the two beneyolentyoung
men after half a .lay's labor, saw e. white
man and a very dirty floor. Getting him
nicely polished and shaved they dressed
him from head to foot in a new garb, top-
ping it off with a new silk hat. He was
then introduced to his many friends and so
great Woeelset. sformation that the ma-+
jority of them dict'not re 8_•--,l,im, al-

the past decade.
The Grain Tester.
To the Editor of the Exeter Times.
Sic -As many farmers seem to think
that the use of the grain tester has been
abolished. Permit me to state that such
is not the case. It would be most unfor-
tunate for the man who brings good and
well -cleaned grain to market if it were as
he would be paid a few cents less than
yahoo per bushel to make up for the poor
grain of others. Why should wheat
weighing 58 pounds per bushel bring the
same price as that which tests 62 3 It will
be found that the kickers are those who
offer an inferior sample and want the same
price paid to their neighbors, who hove a
first•class article. To satisfy all we would
suggest that the market clerk be provided
with a tester and charge a small amount
for testing the grain of those dissatisfied
with the test of the buyer. This much
abused instrument is the friend of the
good and honorable farmer and all, such
should encourage its use. To those want-
ing a half bushel tester we may sty
it world be a great inconvenience to the
dealers purchasing daily a large quantity
of grain from farmers' wagons, while actul
tests show that the result is not affected
by the size of the tester.
