tmanHmm AYER’S Cherry Pectoral. No other complaints are so insidious in their attack as those affecting the throat and lungs: none so trifled with by the majority of suffer ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting pei haps from a trifling or unconscious ex posure, is often hut the beginning of a fatal sickness. AvEn’s Cherry Pectoral has well proven its efficacy in a forty years' fight with throat and lung diseases, and should be taken in all cases without delay. A Terrible Cough Cured. “In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected my lungs, x had a terrible cough, and passed night after night without sleep. The doctors gave me up. 1 tried Ayer’s CriERKY Pec toral, which relieved my lungs, induced sleep, and a horded iue tlie rest necessary for the recovery of my strength. By the continued use of the Pectoral a perma nent cure was effected. I am now 62 years old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your Cherry Pectoral saved me. Horace FAiunROTHER.” Rockingham, Vt., July 15,1S82. Croup. — A Mother’s Tribute. “While in the country last whiter my little boy, three years old, was taken ill with croup; it seemed as if he would die from strangu lation. One of the family suggested the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, a bottle of which was always kept in the house. This was tried in small and frequent doses, and to our delight ill less than half ail hour the little patient was breathing easily. The doc tor said that the Cherry Pectoral had saved my darling’s life. Can you wonder at our gratitude’.’ Sincerely yours, Hits. Emma Gedney.” 159 West 128th St., New York, May 1C, 1882. “ I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral ill my family for several years, and do not hesitate to pronounce it the most effectual remedy for coughs and colds wo have ever tried. A. -J. CRAKE.” Lake Crystal, Minn., March 13, 1882. “ I suffered for eight years from Bronchitis, and after trying many remedies with no suc cess, T was cured by the use of Ayer’s Cher ry Pectoral. " Joseph Walden.” Byhalia, Miss., April 5,1882. “ I cannot say enough in praise of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, believing as 1 do that but for its use I should long since have died from lung troubles. K. BragdOX.” Palestine, Texas, April 22, 1882. No case of an affection of the throat or lungs exists which cannot be greatly relieved by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and it will aheays cure when the disease is not already beyond the control of medicine.

Mrs. Barrows received the verdict unmoved. Blancy withdrew his plea of not guilty, confessed the crime, and was pronounced guilty of murder in the first degree. Mrs. Barrows’ counsel have taken exceptions and the case will go before a full court on tho question of iaw. Mr. and Mrs. Pitts are said to be almost heart-broken at the marriage of their daughter to Frederick Douglass. They were abolitionists, preached social equality and entertained Douglass In their house as a guest and equal. Tho daughter thought they were sincere, adopted their opinions, became a kiud of private secretary to Frederick Douglass and finally married him. The parents were fools and hypo crites, tho daughter is a victim to their folly, and Fred Douglass is an apostate to his own race. The name of Mr. Eugene Speer is famil iar in Milledgeville and Macon journalism. The Washington city correspondent of the Atlanta Journal says: “Mr. Eugene P. Speer, of Georgia, passed through the city this morning en route to Florida from New York, where he has been to purchase the necessary outfit for a daily newspaper atPalatka, Fla. The paper is to be tho Palatku Daily News, and is the property of a stock company which Mr. Speer rep resents. We believe this Is the sixth venture “Gene” has made in journalism. But, go it, old boy; there is nothing like pluck. The advertised tax sales of Decatur county fill nine columns of this week’s Bainbridge Democrat all local and edito rial matter being excluded to make room for ihe avalanche. It is only necessary to add the fact that Decatur is a county controlled, politi cally, by negroes, to explain why “this is thus.” A colored couple inLaGrango supported eight children last year and had $200 over, with which to mako a payment on their place. But Troup county, is controlled by white men you know. Hence the colored man prospers there. A great flood Is expected at Cincinnati, the greatest known 6ince the settlement of the country. Since writing this sentence the news has come of the deluge. It is truly a deluge. Hundreds of families have been forced to fly from their homes in Pittsburg. The streets are filled in some places with ice 15 to 20 feet high. The wa ter is over large portions of Cincinnati and Wheeling, West Virginia. Pittsburg at night on the 6tb, was in a state of semi darkness and thousands were driven from their homes. In Cincinnati at 9 p. m. on the 7th, the water was recorded at 60ft, 8% inches, and the river rising 2 inches per hour, with thousands of houses invaded by the water. All the rivers are booming and many places are submerged in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vitginia, Indiana, and Ken- tucks’-. We merely allude to this great Hood and cannot find room for the disas trous particulars. Fortunately there has been but little loss of life. In all the ac counts there is a report of the loss of only one life, that of a man who was drowned by the overturning ot a skfff. The loss in other respects is estimated already at over a million of dollars. The poor and house less wo notice were taken care of.

The managers deserve the thanks of all pres ent for the excellent order preserved. respect and reverence, the sole charter of the Federal government. Time was, when the inhibitions, whether express or im plied, of that sacred instrument effectually restrained Presidents, Congress, and Courts. The simple absence of express grant of power curbed the projects of leg islation. Since those palmy days, radical licentiousness lias well nigh obliterated constitutional restraint, and even rever ence for law itself. Expediency has usurp ed the rule of right, and Puritanism be come The sole judge of expediency. “A frequent recurrence to fundamental principles is absolutely necessary to the preservation of free government.” So spoke a majority or the earlier State con stitutions. In those days men were jeal ous of their rights, and vigilant in their defence. Ordaioirg the Federal Govern ment to represent these peoples in their foreign relations and general interests only, whilst local police and internal ad ministration Wore reserved to the States, they declared that this general agent should havo no power but what was granted in and by the constitution itself. The attempt by congress to regulate one domestic relation load to secession, blood and outlawry. Their effort to regulate an other domestic relation i3 applauded. The sacred charter is as aiient on one as the other. Tho one is as gross a usurpation as the other. Whence, then, tnis differ ence? Why, wo liked slavery and abhor polygamy.' Revere the sacred instrument when it protects our likes; away with it whan it obstructs our prejudices! It is so, “We compound for sins we are irdined to, By damning those we have no mind to,” which is very unmanly, not to say pueriie. Gov. Brown not only showed the Ed munds Polygamy Act, was without con stitutional warrant, but that it is directly a violation of half dozen precepts of the constitution, which have been deemed the surest safeguards of personal liberty, from the days or Magna Charta. Why do not these noisy critics, answer his arguments? Grave Senators could not do it. “Gov. Brown’s plan,” of extirpating polygamy is harped on with prurient wit. He submitted no plan at all. In rebuke of that Puritanism, which would trample upon the sanctity .of constitutional provis ion, in order to correct the sins of other people, whilst utterly neglecting to mend their own, he made a suggestion. That is all. Recognizing the family as the politi cal unit and the marriage relation as the mudsill of society iu Saxon civilization, he called tiie attention of Yankee Pharisees to tho connubial filth, reeking under their own roof-trees, and accessible to their re formatory zeal without sacrifice of consti tutional duty. The suggestion of reform ing Utah by introducing a colony of fifty thousand New England Yankees, was a sarcasm, too bald to be misunderstood. Take tiie beam out of thine own eye. That is the argument. Neglect of home sins, for which you ate responsible, is not aton ed by meddling with abuses abroad, for which you are not responsible. The Sena tor's suggestion of Missionary remedy, so far from deserving sneers, is but an avow al of the truth, that immortalized Roger Williams. Official perjury and artillery are not hgitimato means for the propaga tion of Christian morality. Far different was the precept and example of the Mas- COXGKESSIONAL. Mr. Morrison, chairman of the Ways and Means committee, has been proceed ing with great caution in the preparation of the reform tariff bill. It is said it will suggest a horizontal reduction of about 20 per cent. Let him have time. The bill, we doubt not, will come out all right. The House on the first instant, was engaged on ihe Fitz John Porter bill and the long delay and cost of time and money it occasioned, was brought to a close so far as the House is concern ed. The bill was passed by a vote of yeas 1S4; nays 78. Representative Hammond’s bill to amend the Constitution as to ’.lie offices and duties of the President and Vice President of the United States, provides for the election of the Presi dent and three Vice-Presidents, each chosen for the same number of years. The first Vice-Pres ident shall be President of the Senate, and the Second or Third Vice-President shall occupy that position iu case of the rerno /at from office of the President of the United States. In case of the removal of the President the office is to be held by the first, second or third Yice-ITesi- dent in order, and when onlv the Vice-President of the United States shall exercise the office of President, the Senate shall elect a President pro tempore, and Congress mar by law provide for a successor of the third Vice-President when removed from the Presidential Chair. Mr. Hammond of Georgia who has been sick since congress met appeared at the bar of the House on the 4th and took the oatli of offlee. The time was taken up mainly in loth houses in Introducing bills. The suli-committec on elections recommended iu the case of Garrison against Mayo, the giving of tHe seat to Mayo. The report was approved by the Mil committee.

Congressional, February 5.—Tho Fitz John Porter relief bill has been referred to Senate Committee on Military affairs. The Mexican land titles bill was discussed in tho Senate. Thero was some discussion in the HouS”, on the best plan to prevent the pleuropneumonia disease among cattle. It was thought best to obtain the co-ope ration of States where it existed, request ing a State to pay one-half of the expense ot eradicating it. Tho Houso adjourned without concluding the discussion. Congressional.—The Senate on the 6th, was engaged in discussing the Mexican land grant titles bill and adjourned with out reaching a conclusion. Tho House was engaged on the pleuro pneumonia bill. Nearly ail the speeches made were in opposition to the bill, and in its present shape it ought to be defeated. But we do not say that some measure to Aeek the spread of the disease should not be adopted. We incline tothe opinion that it is best to let each State take care of its own cattle and prescribe its own remedies. fi he North Carolina contested election was settled in favor of Skinner, in the elec tion committee; the vote was 6 to 5. The House was engaged on the 7th on the ques tion of its rules amt the Senate on the Mexican land grant titles, neither possessing any general interest. BISHOP PIERCE’S GOLDEN WEDDING.

Ho says also that the grand jury request their representatives iu the Legislature to support Capt. Boykin Wright for re-elec tion to th* solicitorship of the Augusta circuit, and in high terms cemmend his ability and the manner in which he has discharged Ilia duties. A strong paper, Hioux says, lias been signed by members of the bar, favoring Mr. Wright. Thu on ly opponent to Mr. Wright that we have heard of, is Mr. W. H. Fleming, a rising young lawyer who lives in the same city that Mr. Wright lives in, Augusta. We merely tefer to this as a matter or news, and do so simply because our paper lias a considerable circulation in the Augusta Judicial circuit. Defeat of Jttaker Pasha. London accounts state that Baker Pasha when advancing from Suakirn to some point not mentioned met with a disastrous defeat. He lost 2000 of the 3590 men under his command, and several Krupp and Gat- tiing guns. It is stated that his dereat occurred near Tohar, which place lie was probably aiming to relieve. He retreated with tho remainder of his forces to Sauk- im. It is evident that the Egyptian gov ernment underrates the forces of the rebels. Tribute to Major Crump.—A commit tee was appointed at a meeting of the con federate survivors Association to draft a memorial in honor of Major Samuel H. Crump. At a recent meeting tho commit tee appointed to prepare it, consisting of Geo. T. Barnes, L. A. Picquet, J. J. Dough ty, and T. J. Bostic, through Major Barnes made their report. It is a handsome and touching testimonial to Major Crump's character as a 6oldier, a citizen, and a friend. Brave and chivalrous he never shrank from duty in war; in peace ho was faithful to every obligation as a man and citizen. We regret our Inability to make room for th9 beautiful portraiture of his character and services set forth in the re port of the committee. We regret this the less as it appears in the papers of Augusta where Major Crump was so well known and admired. I am no champion of or apoligist for Gov.

Mr. Editor : I sec from your last issue that tho old colored woman who cooked the supper on the occasion of La Fayette’s visit to your city in 1825 has just died. If my memory is not at fault, that is a mistake. Peter Gillette, a Frenchman, and cashier of the old Darien Bank at the time, was then liv ing in Milledgeville, and claimed the hon or of entertaining the grand old French patriot at his house, and unless the old negro spoken of was cook for Gillette, she certainly did not cook for La Fayette. I will here toll you of a very mortifying episode (to Mrs. Gillette at least) that took place on that memorable occasion. Gil lette had written to tly? General beforo lie got to Georgia, to share the hospitalities of his houso with other distinguished guests. Gillette had sent to Savannah and bought a very fine set of bid room furni ture, had the nicest room fitted up in mag nificent style, a bed whereon never man had lain. Well, the illustrious Frenchman caruo with his retinue of attendants. A committee with tho Governor at their head, rnet them outside tiie corporate lim its of tiie city, and gave them a grand re ception of welcome to the then capital of Georgia, after which, Gillette took the old man to ids house, no doubt with a pride that filled every heart and especially a Frenchman’s. That night,Milledgeville and all tho surrounding country, and from ad joining counties turned out to do honor to the Iriend of American liberty, and show to the world, arid France particularly, that they had not forgotten the voluntary serv ice of tho Marquis in our struggle for lib erty from tiie British yoke. Well, every thing passed off cheerful as a marriage bell, till a late hour, when one of La Fay ette’s attendants, worn out with continu al travel, and also the occasion not being a novel one to him, betook liimseir to Gil lette’s fot rest. On Ids ai rival, Mrs. Gil lette being at the capitlo, her vallet de chambre conducted the man to the Gener al’s room thinking it was the old hero him self, but mirabilo dictu, on her arrival home, found tho servant m tho bed intend ed for LaFavette. Oh, horror of horrors! she at once went to her husband and itn- fornied him of the miserable mistake. Gillette told his wife to hush up, say noth ing more about it, that the bed could be rearranged, and the people would never be the wiser . Not so, for madam rumor, then, as now, soon spread the matter, greatly to the discomfort of Mrs. Gillette, to the amusement of all the ladies of Miil- edgevllle. I would like to tell of the histo ry of many things in and about your city; something about the origin or tiie noted Spring etc. J. M. B. There was a terrible tragedy at Hot Springs, Ark., on Saturday. Five lives were lost, two persons having been fatally shot who had nothing to do witn the lass- The three men who did the killing were arrested, and will probably be lynched.

Millions of prota' .-,4 nnvaH Tha Inaa rtf 1 ifa nrcV Bn —■ •** Sparta, Ga., February 5.—Editors Tel egraph a Messenger:—It was tny distin guished pleasure to be present at the gpld- en wedding of Bishop Pierce last night, at the residence of his son, Lovick Pierce Jr. It was beyond all question the grand est affair I have ever witnessed. The Bish op had present, besides his bride of half a oentury, all his children, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren—in all amounting to about forty-five—not one absent. This was most remarkable. Then there were present a great number of his friends and relatives living in the county. From abroad a large number, of whom we may enumerate, Dr. W. H. Potter, editor of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate, Dr. O. P. Fitzgerald, editor of the Nashville Chris tian Advocate, Col. It. D. Walker, of Savan nah, and his wife who is an own cousin of the Bishop, his brothers, Rev. James L. Pierce, of Oxford, and Rev. Thomas F. Pierce, of Austel, Ga., Robert L. Pierce, his nephew from Augusta, Rev. Warren A. Candler, of Augusta, Ferdinand Phinl- zy, of Athens, and others whom I cannot now remember. At the appointed time tho Bishop and Mrs ; Pierce came out and stood under an arch of flowers and ever greens, with the dates “1834—18S4” inter woven. Dr. Potter made a very appropri ate speech, addressed to them in behalf of the persons present. He reviewed briefly the Bishop’s long and useful life and his earnest labors for tho past half century In the church and tho State and paid a hand some tribute to his faithful wife, who had stood beside lilru and encouraged him in all his struggles, and rejoiced with him in his triumphs. lie was followed in an interesting speech by Dr. Fitzgerald, of Nashville. The Bishop responded in a most felici tous speech of about half an hour, the most interesting and eloquent I ever listen ed to. It was a brief review of his labors for tho past fifty years, and a triumphant vindication of his choice in the companion ot liis life. He had been sent to Savannah a young man, and required, on account of some difficulty between some members of the church, to keep bachelor’s hall in the par-onage, rather than board with either of the contending factions, ilo tried this for one year and determined to get some one to keep house for him. Ho found his present wife, who was, like himself, poor it this world’s goods. For lie had deter mined never to marry any woman who had more than he had. He did not intend to have it thrown in his teeth in after years by any woman that she had supported him, or by her money lifted him up. He courted her and they married at tho end of the year. Ha had eleven dollars and she had live dollars, anil with this they started life in Charleston, S C. lie had found her a good and safe counsellor and fiiend in all the past years. They started poor and had held their own wonderfully. Yet they had never wanted. They had raised and educated their children, all of whom were present. He paid "a beautiful tribute to his children for their kindness and devo tion to their parents. He wound up the whole by adopting the old custom, and sa luted his bride with a kiss. After this fol lowed tiie salutations of the large con course present. We were then invited to the table, where a most elegant spread had been prepared by Lovick Pierce, the Bish op’s only son. 1 need not say that It was enjoyed. We then returned to the parlors, and spent an hour or two in social conver sation. The whole was closed by family prayer, devotions lead by Dr. Potter. All united in singing two versos of an old and familiar hymn-being “Here I’ll Raise my Ebenezer.” The crowd then dispersed. This morning an artist took the family group, representing the Bishop and liis en tire family. Rarely, if ever, was there such a meeting, and happy were those of us who were allowed to be present. JSttin ITronglit In the Forest. How depressing it is to see acres of trees cut down in the midst of a noble forest. How saddening it is also to 6ee that thin spot in the midst of your otherwise abun dant hair. Stop it at once by the use of Parkers Hair Balsam. For actual efficien cy this famous artiele stands at the head of its class. Elegant for the toilet, deli cious in odor, and restores the original color to gray or faded hair. Economical, as a slight occasional application keeps the hair and scalp in perlect order. BRIGHT BITS. If Tom’s father is Dick’s son, what re lation is Dick to Toni? An Atlanta swell went to a fancy dress ball as a donkey, and his Triends say it is the first time ho ever failed to make an ass of himself. A negro girl in Laurens county bears tho lovely name of “Fair Rosa Beauty Spot, Temptation Touch Me Not.” She was baptised by Immersion. There wasn’t enough to finish the names the other way. A fashion reporter informs us that tho spring bonnet will be of medium size. But tho price will be extreme enough to startle the husband. As long as maids and music are enchant ing and souvenoirs survive, so long will the young people meet to dream and dance away their lives in this vain but blissful world. An exchange says: “What will the bachelors do to escape the awful girls?” Well, about the earliest way is to marry a handsome one at onc-e. The awful ones won’t trouble you then. PUBLIC PERSONALS. William M. Evarts has announced him self as in favor of Edmunds of Vermont as the next Republican candidate for the Pres idency. Senator Mahone of Virginia, in addition to his other physical weaknesses, is deaf. He cannot hear tiie voice of tiie represen tatives of his State requesting his resigna tion. Ex-Speaker Keifer has thrown down the gauntlet to tho newspaper correspondents. The ex-Speakcr will henceforth iiud the political road one similar to Jordon’s— hard to travel. In his last sermon Henry Ward Beecher says he will now practically beeomo a “fisher of men.” This is rough on man kind, but good news for tho women and the fish. Big Horse, a prominent Cheyenne chief, recently avowed himself civilized, and adopted the habits of life of civilized peo ple. His next step was to commit suicide. He would have found it a more convenient style of life to remain a savage. England can’t escape the world’s censure for its Egyptian policy.

How the Plain Talc of a Plain Soldier puts down Injurious Wanders. Ap Important Statement from General e/uhal A. JKarlj. At this time, when malice and ignorance are slandering The Louisiana State Lotte ry Company, those who believe in justice and fair play will read with interest the following from tho pen of General Jubal A. Early, whose veracity was never question ed. Read wiiat he has to say: “Mr. M. A. Dauphin, the President of The Louisiana .State Lottery Company, re sides in New Orleans, which nas been his place of residence for many years; and lie is universally esteemed as a gentleman of high character. For tho correctness of whatever he publishes in regard to the op erations of the Lottery Company, I am willing to vouch. The drawings of the Lottery, semi-anual and monthly, are un der the sole and exclusive control of Gen. Beauregard and myself, the officials of the Lottery Company having nothing to do wi:h them, except to furnish u.s with the requisite mateiials and facilities; and we take especial care that the drawings are published precisely as they take pl ace. ”1 may say here that there are many people who cannot understand how It is that, when they have bought five, ten, lif- toen, or twenty tickets, they have drawn nothing. It is only necessary to say that or those who do buy tickets, there must necessarily be a very great many who draw nothing. It it were not so, no one one would be fool enough to establish a lottery. Where a man, by spending ten dollars, stands a chance of drawing $15,000 $50,000, $20,000, and various other prizes of smaller amounts: or by spending live dol lars, can draw $75,000. S25.000, S10.000, arid various other prizes down to S25, he must not be surprised if he fails after taking many chances. It is a matter of chance or luck entirely. “Gen. Beauregard and myself have had ample opportunity to test the integrity or The Louisiana State Lottery Company in all of its dealings, and we are willing to vouch for it. as we have done on repeated occasions. If any one can satisfy us that tne Company has acted fraudulently in any of its dealing, we w ill dissolve our connection with it very promptly, and tako far more efficient measures to expose its misdeeds than can be taken by irresponsi ble anonymous newspaper correspondents. •‘The Company, which numbers among its stockholders some ot the most respect able gentlemen of New Orleans, lias sense enough to know that it can make a great deal more money by conducting its opera tions fairly and honestlj . than by a resort to fraud. It has a firm financial basis to stand on, and is therefore subject to the hostility of other lottery companies which have no capital. “I mav add mat it pays for to" support of the Charit v Hospital ill New Orleans, one o' tiie noblest chaiiti-s in ad the coun try, $49,000 per annum, o rdmg to its contract with the State, lj i.:s this, its principal proprietors contribute very lio- erally and largely to other charities and public enterprises.

The 164th Monthly Drawing of the Loui siana State Lottery took piaee on January 15th. The Commissioners, Geu’ls Early and Beauregard, obtained the following result: Ticket No. 31,993 drew the 1st Cap ital of $75,000, sold in fifths, costing $1; one was sold to a gentleman in New York city, another to a newspaper man in Peters burg, Va., the others scattered every where as usual. Ticket No. 20,0% drew the 2d prize $25,000, sold in fifths also, one in Chi cago, III., another in Washington, D C., to a government employee, probably who does not seek publicity. Ticket No. 83,176 drew 3d Capital prize of $10,000, 6old in fifths also: one each held by Henry Munk, No. 276 Gratiot ave.. and Mr. Sainue! Levy, well known citizens of Detroit, Mich.

Editor : A great deal of farm work has been done the past week. The farm ers generally seem cheerful and are doing vigorous work. Wagons are crowded at the Pottery hauling off guano. Very little coin and bacon have been shipped hers this year, which shows that our farmers must have a little hog and hominy oa hand yet. Mr. Vi.C. Stevens has been confined to his room for the past tea davs. His case seems to be a lingering one and hard for him to overcome. Dr. J. H. Sims thinks he will get him up soon. Colds seem to be general through this section and every body suffering with them. Mrs. Emily Etheridge, wife of Mr. M. W, Ethridge, was buried at Camp Creek church, last Wednesday. The family have our sympathy in their loss and especially the father who has a house full of small children, one only 2 weeks old. Rev. D. F. Riley preached a most excel lent sermon at Matilda Chappel, last Sab bath. He is a good man, in the right place. The peopie around the Chapel love him.

The loss by tiie recent lire at Carr’s Sta tion was as follows: Mr. J. A. Palmer says thut there was no cotton burned. lie had in the depot freight to the amount of $150.00, Butts Brothers the amount of $1500,00 and A. I. Smith about $40. He also informs us that Mr. Carr’s loss is about $1,500, and the building was probably worth $800 or $1,000- An adjoining warehouse with a considera ble amount of guano and cotton did not burn. Misses Sallie DuBose of Washington, and Miss Claude Simmons of Sparta are muking in elegant banner for the Hancock Van Guards. Miss Harriet, daughter of Mr. William O’Quinne, died on tho 20th ult.

Fruit trees and shade trees should now be planted. To run a bar-room at Tennille now costs $1,500 per annum, and thero is no one ready to meet the figures. Seeing a vast number of rails on the Keg creek place or Mr. Wm. Martin but recent ly split, we asked him how many he had had made, and at what cost, be replied 40,000 and they cost him $2u0. We then asked him how much it would cost him rating teams and hands at usual prices to haul them out and put them up, lie replied it would cost at least $300 more. Well what is the value of your stock, cattle and hogs? On that place mv cattle are worth about $25.00 Are the cattle and hogs with in two miles of your farm there worth $500? I do not know but doubt if they are. Then you pay $500 to fence out $155 worth of stock? Well says Mr. M. a 6tock law is what we need, every man should be re quired to keep up his own stock, and save the heavy expense and hard labor to the farmer, and this g:eat inroad upon ins timber. This is the substance of an inter view lately had with Mr. Martin, who is known as one of Wa^hinjfton county s most successful farmers, and who doubt less reflects on the stock law question, the views or many of the progressive larmers of the county.
