o'clock. Dr. Watts, president, ami J. W.

dential of those claiming seats, and thn list

this afternoon sometime Speeches were
made while the Alliance was waiting for the
report by many thatuiguished person present.
No particular programme ha been planned
for the work of temperance peopl-, and
though there is some tdk of the potaibility of
a State ticket being nominat-d for the June
clecti n, thn matter is handled very can
tiously. The church element ha charge of
affairs and the meeting so far has an air of the
"love feaat'' about it. There ia, however, an
apparent intention to creitn a liberal pro
gramme whereby delegate may be amused a
well a instructed, besides transacting busi
ness. kHtl'I'l.x; JNOTKS.

A kew years ago lomo earnest pcoplo inter
ested themselves iu poultry, and we could see
at the State Fairs fine exhibits of all sorts of
fowls; also, they started a Statu Poultry As
sociation, aud had an exhibit here for two or
three years, but this has all died out, and our
Statu seems to take no decided interest iu
this branch of Kno stock. Tho question arises,
whether those who tried it found in profit iu
carrying it on, or whether tho improved fowls
did not answer their expectations. We should
liko to hear from those who wero lately so
much interested iu this business.
