Tho bad ronds, * and unfavorablo wonilicr diminished tho nttond-' mnco, whick wag novertholoss Iargo. Much onr- nestness and onthusinsm was manifosted. Tho object of this meoting was to organizo o county, assooiation, and toassist gonorally i forwarding the canso. W. I, Mouritt, of Princoville, eallad’ itho mooting to order. .Morton H. Synder, of . Bromflold, was choson Secretary. A Committao of Threo oti Reaolutions was appointed, consist- “Ing of O. B. Cummings, of Princeville, Adum * Becd, of Alron, and F. Irwin, of Princeville.” ' Gon. L.T.

Tho present was his maiden effort at « speeclt, Which would bo brief. Io firat spoke: of tho social advautages of unious to farmers. IFarm-. ©grs were more isolated than “any othor .clans of people. 1o said - the fooling among them meeded somo stimulant, \ “This would como of frequent meeting togothor. Education and culture, both iu the spevial dlrec- tion of agriculture and tho general direction of literature, would follow. Somo good liad: come of tho Stato Board of Agriculture, but not.as much a8 hind beon expecled. rmory otill raise the samo poor cow, the same *frazor-backed’™ tog, tud tho samo’ spindlo-shanked horses that 1hay did twonty-fivo years ngo. Improvaments 4u stock wore ono of tho fivst advantages that would corie of nion and ausocintion, Lmproves wmont in farm implements would-cowm noxt, and, ichiefes lof all,articles needed. From these topics, Gen, Rons passed to the discursion of tho laws yegulating trude, trafilo, aud monopolies. | Tho ustal poinks wero made against tho ralrouds, all of which wero well put and vigorously oxprossed. B, 8. 2L Bmith followed in an onruost speoch. Yo first npoke of the gencral beneflt to tho Tarnters of mecting togother in: the clubs, tho chiof of which wug the resulting feeling of brotherhood which affected all of them, no uattor in whot State thoy might live, Without fthe farmers tho ~ world could not movo one day, Ib s -ouly by good prices for farm products that tho farmers can gurround themselves with physical comforts nud literary advantuges, Contiug to Poorin, ho snw mavy houses thut bore the marks of poverty, and were nearly untit to live in. Yot ho had no doubt thet the Tesidents of these poor dwollings worked hord foraliving. he farmor worked Larder and morv hours for what ho earned than mon of any other cls or profession. Iho farm- cr shoulu’ Lo allowed to ot & prico on Lis pro- ducts instead of having it msot for Lim by othoms. To ' the bukruptoy o Lulf the farmers of {his grent Steto of Illinois ibis wiato ‘of things is vapidly tending. The xemedy for all theso ovils is in the farmers thom- Eclves, So loug s they submit, thoro will be fouud fhoee ready to take advatage of their sub- mission, 'Tho farmors bLave been seattered; Havo allowed theso thiugs to go ou, becanso they Liad no common sizcans of oporation. The object of the Bloomington Convention was to effect o Btate combiuution, through which agricultural- Ests might accomplinh {heir objeets mora offectu- zlly. Is it o waattor of necessity that New York and Liverpool shouldsot thopriceso farm products? No. Supposo overs farmer was out of debt to- dny, would ho Lo obliged_to_ throw his products Lastily on tho market ? It {ho farmer locked up his corn-cribs and rofused to scll his pork, ho could bring the grout marts of the world on their knces to him. Tho farmers buy too many implomonts ; too mauy groceries ; too many dry §ond& They ehould buy less of 'theso ; pay up heir debts, and then they would Le the jnou- archs of the mnikot. If thoy wont to purchase with the mouoy in their Liands, thoy could fix thoir own prico, and.would not’ aiterwards be called on to raisc monéy in brste, and nc a snce rifice, to pay their indeblodnoss. With o cash basis, the profits on both sides would bo equal, There is o_limit beyond which thoso who sell farm _implemonts should never be allowed to £0. In tho manufacture of cotton snd woolen goods, 15 por cent is always considered a good rate of profit. A reaper that cost the malkor 240 18 gold for 23200 to the farmer..The Weed eewing-machind costs tho - maker 89, and is sold to ‘the farmer for £05 dollars, 'Thoso things can be remedied, Lot thosomunufactories alone for iwo yoars, so there will bouo surplus of machinory, us thn{ say thoro is now u swrplus of farm products.

Nicholeon, the cir- cumstancos of whoso strange doath by suicido have boen published, The post mortem exami- nation disclosed the. fact that the man Lilled Limeelf with a naorcotio poison. Mr. D, O, Nicol, agout of the Elliptic Sowing-Machine Company, furnishes the tg“owing information concerning him: Ho was o Scotchman, of su- porior oducation, and it is_thought that hia family reside in the old country, He taught olocution in his native country,- and’ could havo made his profossion romunorativo but for his intemperato hnbits, which " drové him from homo to this country.

Thofactsconcerning this mysterions cffair, as far as known, ate thero: Daniol Andor- gon ig n young Bwedo, 19 yenrs old. o emi- grated' to America nlone, in Beptomber,- 1870. Ho camo to Chitago saon aftor his arvival in tho country, and has earnod.an enviable reputation for honesty and mobrioty In this-cily. Last Novembor liowas employed by W. P. Iicky, o butehor and priovision denler, at No. 187 South Thalsted straot, to drive s delivory wagon, mid haa dono his dukywoll, and his wiges have boon twice inorensed. Ho ham had the care of tho borao he has driven, and it wasin the barn whero tho animal is kept, with four other horses, thut the unfortunate lad received tho injuries wlhich will probably end in his death. Tho barn is in tho rear of Blre. Banynrd's boarding-house, No..194 West Adams strect, whore the boy had beon living since he weat into Mr. Hicky's sor- vico, N - i Yostorday morning, at 11 o'clock, hoving mado his foranoon rounds, hio drovo to thio butn to'put his horso up. It appears that ho had put tha horao in tho stall, and hind removed the harnoss, before Lio rocelved hia injuries, About ton min- ulon atter 13, a boy, who has tho caro of ono of tho othier horscs, wont in the barn, fod his horso, and camo out, leaving the only door to tho birn apon. About half-past 12 {ho inmates of the board-, Ing houso sat down to dinner. The landlady spole of the absenco ol Anderson, as it was something remarkable. A fow minutes lator her Jittlo Loy camo in, and said somo men woro fight- ing in tho bam,—ono of them, ho eaid, was “Dan." Robert Baxter, a bonrder, who was an intimato friond of Andorson’s, ran out to tho barn. Mo returned soon after, and, pale with fright, aaid that Doniel was lying in ono of the stalls of the barn, ineensible, and badly cut on tho head and faco, ond that there was no one elge thore. This statement put an_ end to the dinner. Every onme who had the courago rushed out to the barn, An- derson was brought into the houso and Inid upon his own bed, up-stairs. He was in- goneiblo, and bleeding freoly at tho mouth, nose, and cars. Mr, Hicky, boing informed of ihe condition of hiscmployo, sont for Dr. Walter Hay, who arrived in half an hour after young Andorson was_found. _After examining he wounds, he said the skull was fractured, and the boy must die. Ho thon called In Dr. Hay, and togothor they ma(le & moro critical oxamination, Two cuts worg found ou tho loft sido of the head, bobind the ear, & cut on tho right choel, in the form of o cross, and s long scratoh on 'the loft cheek, Oneof the cuts behind the ear was long, the other short. The long out was farthest from tho oar, and beneath it the skull was fractured, The question then aroso, how were tho wounds inflicted? It was at firat supposed that Andorson hid heen kicked by ono of the borsos, No ono supposed anythin, elie, until aftor the oxamination by the physi- ciane, Thoy were not of tho opinion that tho wounds were inlicted by a horso's hoof. Tho statoment of tho boy who found Anderson sorved to mako it still more improbable that tho wourds woro the result of a horse’s kicks, He said that ho found the stable door locked on the outside. The boy who had been in tho barn at ten minutos aftor 12 did not ologe the door, Some one, then, had beou in tho bam, besides Anderson, between ten minutes after 12 and half-past, and the tragedy must havo' oc- currod in that time, ns the boy who went in first would cortginly have soon & pool of blood which was standing in the centro of the floor when young Baxter went out. The blood was in tho rear of the Lorso for which Andergon cared, and. ‘closo to its heols. An ompty water-buckat tirned over- and Anderson's hat woro found near by. Anderson wag fouund under the manger of a vacant stall next to the ono occupiod by his horse. Blood was sprinklod on the nigos of the stall whore Lo waa found. Thero were no_special ovidences of a strugglo, and tho boy loyin o natural position, There was a trail of blood from tho pool to Anderson. Tho following diagram will convoy more cloar- 1y to the reader's mind tho surroundinge of the tragedy : West Adams atroet.

While theso “conjooturings wore in progress the boy, who had beon sppasontly inécnsiblo oponed 'his eyes and said, “T was stabbod,” Anxiously then those who waited around his- bedaide bent over him, and asked, ““Who did it?" but the boy secmed sgain entirely uncon- seious, Boon after this doclaration & yonng Bwedo arrived, who was lus companion on the voyage to America, and who Lns boon his most intimato friend evor sluco. Uiy name is Hawold Barusquini. Whou this Loy laid his hand on Anderson's arm and eaid to him “Dan, don't you know mo?" tho young Bwodo nfllin ?fmnud lis oyes and ‘whispored Yos," eriold then snid, “Did the hordo kick you?" Andorson faintly answered “No, I wnd stabbed.” “Who stabbed you ?" uaid Yiarrold. ;/Tho boy maid in, n whispor, 1 don’t know," and thon sank into tho samo uncon- selons condition ho had boon bofore, Theso declarations loft little doubt in the minds of thoro prosent ilat the boy's wounds bad beon made by n sharp instrumont in tho hands of soime unlinown person. Anderson led no known enemies. Ha was liked by everybody.

Itis not unrea- sonable to suppose that this samo man may have returnod yoaterdny worning, and, being refused admission by Andorson, have struck him with & knifo or n hitohet, Anderson’s hat has a short,’ T1ouls oud i tho siin, which could ouly haye heva - timopicco hind beon atolon, mado by tha polnt of aknifo oredgoe ot & hiatohot.
