WHAT A NEWSPAPER OUGHT TO BE-The Boston Ledger, in noticing wordy warfar> amongst it's contemporaries in regard to ,;a.r, is termed leading newspaper, ss- truly: tr hh
 "A newspaper is not necess that bannens shell, to blow everybody to .fough it's morning to be near it when it goe1t ought to place be- and evening exploslognd most dignifed pur- fore itself the higfth all its exertion and en- poses. and to p2ily work them out. Wrang- e ersy to Filing and personal quarrels the llng anu uladers do not desire. They refuse to mass parties to these practices. They want s'G and fair comments on all transactions and Vents that can possibly interest them; they are for the earliest news from all quarters of the globe; they are fond of good temper and geni- ality and common sense in the general make- up of their favorite newspaper; and they very soon learn to go to the right quarter to get these things"

Close of the Louisville Show.

The "banquct" of the U. S. Agricultural Society, at the close of the exhibition in Louis vile, was spread in the Galt House on Satur- day evening last, and about three hundred guests partook. Col. Wilder, of Boston, pre- sided in his usual happy manner and prefaced the toasts with speech, from which we re- gret that we have room today to copy only the following sentences, including telling in- cident manifesting forcibly the prevailing Union sentiment of the occasion:
 "We come from different and distant por- tions of our country. 1 am from the home of the Puritans, but am most happy to meet you here in this land of cavaliers and chivary- and here upon the broad platform of good citizenship, to unite my influence with yours in furtherance of our common cause, and in cementing the bonds of union-to join hands with you sir, the governor of the Common wealth of Kentucky, and through you with this assembly, in exemplilication of the glori- ous inscription on the seal of yourstate, United we Stand, Divided we Fal.' (EIere President Wilder and Gov Morehead shook hands amidst the shouts of the audience.)
 One of the most hopeful and delightful fea- lures of these national jubiees relates to the genial influences which they exert on all class es of society, associating them together with friendly greetings and making them one in in- terest and one in affection"
 Gov. Morehead, Ex-Govs. Wickliffe and Helm, Ex-Secretary Guthrie, Gen. Tilghman, of Maryland, Col. Buchanan, of the army, MT. Smith of Manchester, N H., and Mai. Ben. Pereley Poore, warmed with "old Bourbon" responed to toasts; and Col. William Preston, of Louisville, closed the speaking with glow ing tribute to woman and the Union.
