Breeding FiM.-The London Morning Chron-
ice gives interesting account of curious branch
of husbandry which is practiced in France, in the
valley Of the Saone A characteristic feature OF
this part Of France is the number Of small lakes
or ponds by which the surface is studded. In one
department, that of Saone ct Loire, there are up
wards of two thousand of these sheets of water,
principally lying to the east Swiss side of the
Saone These sheets of water are of all sizes
from mere pools to lakes of from fifty to one hun.
dred acres in extent-and they play curious part
in the agriculture of the district, many Of them
being alternately dried and refed, the proprietors
raising corn one year in the precise spot in which
he caught fish in the preceding summer. The
small ponds are commonly used for rearing the fry
which destined to acquire their full growth in
thslarger sheets of water. The following is an
outline of the plan Of operations
Atthe commencement of winter, from ten ia
fifteen carp turned into each small pond, great
care being taken that pike manages to slip qui-
city in along with them. Next year the water
nurseries dried and thousands Of young carp are
found sprawling in the mud. The fry is called
Ia feut and is let loose in the larger ponds in the
ratio of about twelve hundred little fishes to the
acre. Here the creatures pass the second year ol
Aeir Life, attaining size Of about four OF five

Arrival Of King Log By aoater.-Last evening

the Merrmack They went over Pawtucket Falls
about sunset-fng the river in every direction,
on their way to Lawrence. These logs Lew the
booms at Lincoln, N. H., at the head OF the Penn
migewassett, one hundred and twenty miles distant
the first OF April, and Of course have been some
thing two months in making the trip to this
point. This fact will corr some idea Of the ex-
tent of the Lumsss rS,nag dominions. The mag
ntude of = . operations, also, will be seen, when
we late that the number of logs which arrived
last nigh ht after long passage, is fifty thousand,
that they the product Of twenty thousand trees,

Virginia, now called "Bellefonte," the resl'
dence of Col. D. w. Patteson, where he
settled, resided his family, conquered the
country from the Indians, and amassed
large fortune.
At the time he settled at this place, Au-
gusta county was not formed. The county
was in the possession of the Indians, and
Staunton was hot known. After establish
ing himself here, his family was nucleus
for new settlers from the East side Of the
Blue Ridge, and Ireland, and the number
had so increased by 1745, that the county
of Augusta was organized, d,when John Lew,
is was appointed magistrate, 7and assisted
in the organization John Madison was ap-
pointed county clerk, and Thomas Lewis, a
son of John Lewis, was appointed county

4 SONG FOR THINKERS.

BY CHARLES SWAIN.
Take the spade Of Perseverance,
Die the field oI Progress wide;
Every rotten root OF Faction
Hurry oht, and cast aside;
Every siubborn weed OF Errors,
Every seed that hurts ihe soil;
Tarcs, whose very growth is terror
Dig them out, wbate'er the toii!
Give the stream OF Education
Broader ch;alusl, bolder iorce;
Hurl the stones OF Persecution
Out, whvrc'er they block its course;
Seek for str> myth IN selt-eXertion
Work, aud still have faith TO wait;
Close the crooked gate TO Fortune;
Make the road 10 honor straight
Men are agents Tor the Future!
Ashley work SO ages win
Either harvest of advancement,
Or the product of their SIN!
Follow out true cultivation,
" iach Education's plan;
From the MAJ sty of Nature
Teach the majesty CT Man
Take the spake OF Perseverance,
Dig the field Of Progress wide;
Every bar TO true instruction
Garry out and cast aside
Feed the plant who's fruit is Wisdomi
Cleanse from criuic THE common sod,
So that from the throne oil Heaven
1t may bear the glance OF God.

hS- Some imagine that, because at the re-
cent elections the Wings in Virginia sue.
ceeded in electing but two out of the fifteen
members of Congress, their chance is hopes
less at the December election. Such an o.
pinion is ll-founded. The vote in October
was very thin every where, and especially
in the Whig districts. The larger class Of
new voters had not been admitted to their
right. There was, comparatively speaking,
very little interest taken in the election
Look at the returns from all the districts &
this will be manifest. The October election
was no test of the strength of parties in the
State: far less is it to be taken as an indl-
cation of the popular voice when Geo. w.
Summers is before the people as their cam
didate for Governor. We trust, then, that
no shadow of misgiying will rest upon any
Wing because of the October election. tits
his duty to look forward, and not to regard
previous adverse results. We must be pa

ever attained without determination, energy,
and zeal. Let us invoke the Wings Of Vir-
ginia upon this occasion to exhibit these
oualitles.-.alesandria Ga. +--, -ol-

THE MILL AND THE w1Lnor.

One of our neighbors of the Register ha.
been amusing himself and his readers, by
turning out some rather creditable poetry
from what he calls "Oby Sykes" machine
or Mill, we forget which. Mr.. Summers
supposed vote fot the Bankrupt Law was
theme which the Junior seemed never wea-
ry of grinding at. Now as Mr.. Summers
did mol vote for the Bankrupt Law, but Col.
Joseph Johnson did vote for the Wilmot,
we should like to borrow the Poetry Mill for
while but as the editors may not be Will
ling to spare it, we must guess at what the
aforesaid mill would produce on the subject
of the Coils vote. If set to the editors la

When everything was still;
That Joseph Johnson came to towa
To Oby skyes' Mill;
An Extra Globe was in his hand,
The tear was in his eye,
SAYS he my "friends Pm fairly treed,
But Oby don't you cry?'
Oh Obediah, don't you cry for me,
/ voted for the wimot as you plainly sse'
The "potent Senior" stood aghast,
As on the page he gazed;
While Obediah dropped the crank,
He was so much amazed;
Says Joe, 81 am used up man."
Alasfor poor sold Joe,"

With Giddings, Root & Co.

One of the old fashioned Democratic Mr'
Inman Horner, Democratic Senator from
the Fauquier District, was one OF many
Democrats who, in 1882, signed the follow
ing petition -.
To the General assembly of Frginiat
The undersigned, inhabitants Of the coun.
ty of Fauquier respectfully declare that
thew believe the time has arrived when it
is highly expedient the General Govern.
ment should POSSESS the power to raise and
appropriate money to transport free persons
OF color to the coast of Africa; AND ALSO
TO PURCHASE SLAVES AND TRANS
PORT THEM LIKEWISE. ss
Therefore, they petition the Legislature
to take the earliest and most efiectual means
to procure an amendment Of the Constitution
of the United States, ,rhich UiH gire the Com
gress of the Union .porer to pass The nrcessa-
ry laws 10 carry into effect the abOre sialed
objects.
What has Senator Horner to say TO the
Democratic charge against Mr.. Summers, OF
fAbolitionism Not content with Eegisia-
tive emancipation, he wanted Congress 70
step in with its aid. Will the Democratic
press sound the alarm that Mr.. Homer, can-
not be trusted1 1t will really be hard it
they do, for the Richmond Enquirer taught
him, in 1882, that slavery was "fhe greatest
eril that can scorrge our ldnd,' and that
"something must be done,' to remove IT,
