VIRGINIA CATTLE SHOW.
WAsHlNGToS, De May II, ~

NAsHINGToN, DE may ~, i74U.
In your paper Of Aprn gath, noticed a small ar
ticle entitled "No,lhorn and Southern Agrcul.
ture," which brought to my mind the recollection
OF some lacts which will support most conclusive
~, the position there taken. During tho last Au.
tumn, was in Virginia, and happened 10 be at
Charlottesville, the county town of AiLenarle CO.,
on the day the annual cattle show and fair Of
the Agricultural Society Of that county. was
told that that was the best county in The State,
for the production of wheat aud root crops and rails
ing stock, consequently my expectations we're rails
ed high in anticipation of seeing some fine speci-
mems Of Blood horses, Durham cattle, Berkshire
swine, and South down sheep. walked ont soon
after breakfast 10 the spot where was told the cat
lie, &c. would be exhibited, but found no appear.
ance that would in the north, be considered an in
dicaon OF transaction of the kind. About clev-
en- o'clock, again visited the spot, and found in
one corner OF large field, five six sheep, pen
ned in by two or three poles laid from one part Of
the fence TO the other. In about two hours, ne
gro drove up two heifers, that appeared very WELL
and gentleman and his servant rode and drove up
five horse kind, from year old and upwards.
There were also tw o bulls brought there for sale.
Ii happened that drove OF about fifty mules and
jacks were passing that way from Kentucky and
stopped at yard not far distant, which TO me,
more OF sight than all else that was al the show.
This constituted The whole of the cattle show Of
of the richest and best agricultural counties in

and SIN all basket of other provisions. 'Your girl,
she said, will not come back perhaps to-day; but
keep up your spritsl See what she has sent you!
After these encouraging words, the young messen-
ger of good put into the hands of The father five
franks, and them turning round to cast look of
pity and satisfaction the poor family, who were
dumb with emotion, she disappeared.
The history of these five franks is the most re-
markabIe purt of this affair. This little benevo
lent fairy was, it is almost unnecessary TO say, the
same plying spectator who had been addressed by
the abstractor of the loaf at the police office. As
soon as she had heard what was said there, she
had gone away, resolved 10 take some meat to The
poor family But she remembered that her nam
ma from home that day, and was at a loss how
to procure money or food, until she bethought her
self Of resource of strange kind. She recollec
tod that har.dresser, who lived near her moth
er's house, and who knew her family, had often
commended her beautiful hair, and told her to come
to him whenever she wished to have il cut, md lie
would give her louis for it. This used to make
her proud and pleased, but she now thought of ii in
different way. In order to procure money for the
assistance ofthe Starving family, she Went straight
the hair dresser's, put inlRin mind Of his prom
Use, and offered 10 let hitiNnt off all her pretty
locks for what he thong httfIem worth.
Naturally surprised by such an application, the
hair dresser, who kind and intelligent man,
made inquiry into the cause of his young friends
visit Her secret was easily drawn from her, and
it caused the hair dresser almost sh ed of
pleasure. He feigned 10 comply with the condi
tons proposed, and gave the bargainer fl fteen
francs, promising to come and claim his purchase
at some future day. The little girl then got bas
ket bought provisions and set out on her errand of
mercy Before she returned, the har,dresser bad
gone 10 her mothers, found that lady homo, and
related to her the whole circumstance. So that.
when the possessor of the golden resses came back
she was gratitied by being received into the open
arms of her pleased and 2rasing parent.
When the story told at the police office by
the hair dresser, the abstraction of the loaf was WIS.,
tied by no severe punishment. The singular cir
cumstances connected with the case raised many
friends to the artisan and his family, aud he was
soon restored to health end comfort.
