A BORDER TALE.
9FRANk.

In the year 1891, while acting as sur.
veyor in the now State of Iowa, | was a
witness of one Of those real and startling
tragedies which SO often occur along the
border, Of civilization in,he West. While
serving in that capacity, | had often wit
messed deeds of vulor aud desperation, and
fool hafdy courage which made my
blood grow cold--bu, the incident 10 which
alIude displayed, on The one hand, such
unmiligaied vindiciiveness of spirit, 10.
gelhcr with the most reckless daring and
total disregard Of death, and on The 9th

refinement for the then wide wilderness
to exhibit, that il stands out in bold relief
above the memory Of The many startling
scenes Witnessed and the trials and hair
breadth escapes that | underwent. H p
. One night, after having nearly comple-
ted my operations in That part Of the coun.
Try, aud preparatory to taking my final
leave of it, walked forth from The tent
in which my companions were still busily
engaged in devourtng their supper Of
broiIed venison, and slrolled along upon
The hanks of a quiet stream that rolled it's
deep and sileu, waters through vast and
fertile country, finally 10 empty in,o the

in the west, his bright rays danced oRly al
intervals through the dense forest, inter.

the forest birds was dying away while
they sought with yielding ing their places

Unheediug my fooIsiep, had wandered
far down along the banks Of this quiet
stream. and seated myself upon a broken
and decayed stamp, nearly enclrcled ny

mind was enshrowded in that deep reve'

Coming to their Senses.

For long series Of years tue tide

scheme Of internal Improvement. This
opposition, carried into the legislature,
has wrought incalculable mischief to
the State, and placed her in a position
Of backwardness almost irrctric yablc.
Often they has held "LalaDce Of pow.

provemcnt, and have SO managed their
hand as TO defeat oue-sometincs both.
But wc arc glad to sec that light is
breaking in upon this blindness. at a
meeting III King William County, held to
choose delegates to an internal Improve
mcnt Convention to meet in Norfolk on
the 25th Of next October, the following
resolutions were passed.
Rcso!rrd, That tho Ohio Railroad ought to

Beef Cattle.
II. HILL, Sec

The New York Journal Of Commerce
Of June II, remarks that the prices Of
beef cattle have declined in all the great
central markets ofthe Atlantic scaboard
at NewYork, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and Cambridge. In New York, tho fall
within n week has been from l.5O 10
s24 per hundred pounds ; at Balti
si.25 cents per hundred pounds and
at Cambridge rs cts. At several Of the
markets. the supply is larger than the
demand. Judging from accounts il,
papers, says tho Journal, there is no
reason justifying the exorbitant rates
TINT have prevailed this Spring. The
indianapolis Sentinel Of the l4th inst,
says: " Good cattle arc selling in In.
diana and Illinois to drovers, at 81 so
and S5,5oPc one hundred pounds nett,
and sl,25 live weight" Add only a
reasonable amount to defray tho cost Of
transportation East, md tho burdens
OH consumers will be considerably Iii.
minishcd. All over the country, almost,
the season has been remarkably fine for
grass. Tic feed has been excellent and
abundcnt, and tho hay crop is heavy
and good. In New York, tho number
of cattle, visible from the railroads, is
unusually large, and all thu calves seem
to he raised for tho benefit Of future
beef markets. The longer present pri-
COS arc kept up, tho moro certain and
great will be the reaction.

Railroad Meeting in Monroe.

We learn, from a gentleman who has
just returned from Union, that the pco-
pic Of Monroe County held meeting ut
Union last Tuesday, and appointed del
cgrtes 10 the White Sulphur Springs
Railroad Convention, to meet in August
next. This is right. y part of the
people Of that County are in favor Of
the established limo of tho Covinyton
and Ohio Railroad; md thoy have a
rightful voice i'll this Convention. It is
for tho interest Of that smaller numLcr,
too, who favor the ostcnsiblo dc.
signs Of Lynchburg in the proposed
substitution Of the established line for
the New River Route, to also be there
in goodly numbers. On the Whole, wo
rejoice 10 sec this movement. The az
itation Of thought is tho beginning Of
wisdom-thc attrition Of opinion is tue
lighting Of fires that show the way to
success.
