At this meeting the names of 17

agriculture on the. improved plan,
sueh as lias never been evinced in
our county. We know, Mr. Editor,
that we possess soil of sufficient pro
ductiveness to ensure success. Our
climate is well suited to tile growth
of plants, fruits, vegetables and hogs,
and we intend to grow them all.
We havo HlO brain, musclo, soil ami
climate, all wo need then is the will,
and a knowledge of ho'V to carry into
eff' &t, properly ami profitably, our
go,od intentions. This f Society will
be of benefit without a doubt, to tlie
young farmer—ami it is to tlie young
men of t i:.. eon/y that, we intend to

C.V-haliiii'/ the old iai.-.veVcr,) and ii'v.'C
can by precept and example cause
one young man in our county to.know
and feel that there is a dignity and
independence in tlie pursuit of agri
culture, not to he found ip any oilier
calling or vocation, we will be happy
indeed.
Onr next meeting uill bo he’d on
the list Tuesday in October, at the
Comt House, at 10 o’clock a m., at
which time, wo cordially invite all
who feel an interest in agriculture, to
come ap and join us.

Oh, pshaw! Come and drink, with

No, Tom, I wouldn’t drink at your

Nonsense! If I invite you to drink,
and pay for it, what’s the expense to
you, Harry?
Ah, Tom, dear boy, I wasn’t think

I fancy, I could afford the expense
better than yon could. No, no—
the expense which I cannot afford is
of auoiher kind. The peace and

A DREAM, AND FOL
LOWED IT.
Des Moines, La., August 26.—Dr.
A. M. Blackman, a well-know physi
cian of Gresco, Kossuth county, was
recently k.lled by being thrown from
liis carriage. A few nights previous
he had a dream, in which be was call
ed to the neighboring town of Ridg
way to visit a little girl. On his re
turn he came to a broad river, which
seemed impossible to cross, and
while he was devising means to cross,
an old friend, long since dead appear
ed and assisted him in crossing.
When the doctor arose in the morn
ing he related his dream to his fami
ly, and it appeared to make a deep
impression upon him. Ho at once
secured a policy of life insurance for
4-10,00(1, Jie called his family to
gether, talked over all his business
affairs, and so arranged matters that
ho felt easy as to Their welfare; and
he then expressed the impression
that some sad fatality awaited him.
A day or two after, he was called to
Kidgway to visit a iittiq girl, and,
when returning, his team, which was
a splendid one, become Lightened
an<l ran away. They ran nearly a
mile, passing several teams, which
were hurried to the roadside It is i
probabW that the Doctor became ex
hausted in iiis efforts to stop them,
and turned diem into’ the brush,
where they went astride of a tree
with such force as to throw the Doc
tor to the ground. Ho was seen to
full by a person who was quickly at
ids side, when the Doctor placed hi*
hands on his head, exclaiming “Oh,
my head!” which were die last w-Tit
he spoke. Death resulted in a few.!
hours from concussion oi-the bruin.
He was u man highly esteemed lor
his many virtues and professional
worth.
THE BLACK MEN AND TILDEN.
i
The Baltimore Gazette publishes
the following significant communi
tion :
“Please give us a bearing through
your paper io the effect that Rev.
Dr. Dunjy, of Richmond, Ya„ (color
ed,) has united with the Rev. Gar
land 11. White, of North Carolina,
for the purpose of stumping the
Southern States in behalf of Tilden
and reform. If the colored people
want reform, they must unite with
white men in electing such men as
will reform, and not to vote for Re
publican men who have by their plun
der, thievery, bribery, and fraud,
made reform in the administration of
the government necessary, A cor
rupt party cannot reform itself any
more than a sinner can convert him
self. If done at all it must take
place from the effect produced by a
better and purer agency. Politically
speaking, we are free to say that
Samuel J. Tilden is the man whose
election will politically regenerate
the country, restore the moral status
of the people, give employment to
the labo’.ittg men of every section,
and forever settle the differences of
every section ot the country on a last
ing basis of peace and fraternal feel
ing between the races. Tilden and
Hendricks clubs are now being form
ed among the coloied people of the
Soutn, with a belief that our North
western brethren will do the same.

NEGRO RIOT IN CHARLESTOWN.
Charlestown, Sept. 7.—A serious
riot occurred lalo last night, growing
out of a street attack by colored Re
publicans upon some colored men
who have been taking a conspicuous
part in the Democratic Canvass. X
small body of whites endeavored to
defend the Democratic negroes, but
they were overpowed by the number
of the rioters. They retired after
a severe light, in which pistols were
hecly used on both sides. The riot-
ers held King street, the main thor
onghlaro, from mid-night until sun
rise, breaking windows, robbing
stores, nt'aeking and beating indis
criminately every white man who
showed his face.
A large number of persons were
injured—mostly whites. Several of
those shot are in a critical condition.
Intense excitement prevails, the
general feeling being that the trouble
is not yet over..
and he riotous proceedings of the rieo
field negroes ou tlie Combahec have
been renewed, and tlie situation is
regarded as serious.
Spain is about to send more troops
to that ‘‘ever faithful isie.” It would
be interesting to know bow many
troopg in ail have been dispatched to
Cuba since the' breaking oat of the
rebellion there seven or eight years
ago, and just how many survived
tlie change ol the ciimate. It is as
serted on good authority that a very
large proponion of the troops die
from fever and other diseases inci
dent to the climate, and that the
yearly mortality is something fright
ful. Meanwhile tlie army when
there has been doing nothing except
10 repel the assaults of the insur
gents. The latter remain in undis
turbed possession of the east end of
the Island, ami no efforts arc made
to dislodge them. It is hard to sec
how tlie Spaniards expect to eon- j
1 tpier the rebellion by simply rLiuain
on the defensive.— Sav Neivs.
EXPEOSSOX AT HEEL GATE
New 'York, Sept. s— An explosion oc
curred ai. t.hc Government works at Hell
I Gate. Three men were instantly kd ed,
and blown to atoms. Numbers of oth
ers were wounded; two, itij thought, fa
tally. The explosion looit place on a
large scow, on which a number of men
have been employed tor a long time
preparing the primers by which the fi
nal explosion is to be made. The cause
of the explosion is yet unexplained.
Among tha wounded is Capt. Downing.
SJ©OK FARMING.
If one of those farmers who talks so
much against “Book Farming” has an
important suit iu court, or m alarming
case of sickness in nis family, or is
perplexed with doubts and fara about
some grout theological question, to
wliom will he apply for couusel, advice

It is said that red shirts dyed iu an
iline colors are found lobe poisonous
and often kill those who wear them. It
is possible that there may be a mistake
in this matter and that the sufferers
from the red shirts had purchased from
some friendly Oatell of the Administra
tion, the “bloody shirts” which Attor
ney General Williams and Morton had
on hand when the outrage bureau was
sold out. - They are like the shirt of

POLITICAL NOTES
The Brooklyn Argu* says the Pres
ident vigorously cottimed his can
vass in behalf of Tilden, on Monday,
by dismissing nil the special agents
of the Treasury Department who had
been active iu unearthing the wliisr
key thieves. He is inspired by the
noble ambition to be know n us the
last Republican President.
The Wrong Ox Gokijd I—Tbo
Radical press make loud complainis
ot the bitterness with which Demo
crats of tlie South denounce their po
litical opponents in this section. But
just lot a Republican of the South re
pent the error of his ways and join
the Democrats, and listen at the
way in which these same complaining
Radicals can pour out the vials- of
wrath and abuse on his head ! We
have a case in point. The Radical
Chattanooga Commercial, noticing a
report that Sam Bard was going to 1
stumn Maine in behalf of the Demo-
ci'Btic party, cal s him “a rogue, and 1
cheat always, whom several sheriff's
would be glad to interview in this
region,” and it closes by saying,
“.May a merciful Providence and vig
ilant police guard tlio pockets of his
auditors.” The Montgomery State
Journal (which often makes loud
complaint of the abuse of Democrat-'
ic papers) copies this approvingly.
Now, we ask, did anybody ever
know us to write anything as abu
sive of a Radical as that? — Columbus j
Times.
New Y'ork.— lt is announced by
telegraph that the Democratic State
Convention will no doubt be called
together again to make a nomina
tion for Governor in the place of ex-
Gov. Seymour declined. The dis
patclis to the World, sent just before
the nomination of Gov. Seymour at
the late meeting, stated that the sen
timent was strongly in favor of the
nomination of.Hon. Clarkson N. Pot
ter, and he would doubtless havo
been the nominee had not Gov. Sey
mour's name been proposed in a man
ner to cause an electrical effect. It,
this bo so, the nomination of Potter
now would seem to he a very proba
ble. He was supported by Mr. Kel
ley even in opposition to Gov. Sey
mour.
Macon Tel. & Mes., of 7th inst
Congressional Convention
The Democratic Nominating Con
vention for the Third Congressional
District, which met yesterday morn
in the reading room of the Brown
House, was one of the most harmo
nious bodies we ever saw. The
members wore all on the best terms
with each other, and when it came'
to the transaction of business they
went shoulder to shoulder and with
shields locked, There was no log
roiling—no acrimonious utterances
—no bad feeling whatever, but they
met, organized and renominated Gen
eral Phil Cook by acclamation, carry
ing the proposition by a unanimous
rising vote and amid enthusiasm.
The convention was rot in session
more than forty minutes, but its work
could not have been better done ia
forty days. If the mombeis are a
fair sample of the Democracy of the
district they will bear their banner
to a certain victory in November.
The Hampton ground swell is
shaking South Carolina from cen
ter to border line, and nothing but
a cyclone of duputies and bayonets
can reverse the decree of the di_
vinity that is shaping the ends of
Democracy in the prostrate State
