A s'SPADING" MATCH.-At the Plymouth
'spading" match occurred, which attracted
considerable attention. A ring was formed,
and lots of land ten feet square each, were
marked for six stalwart Irishmen, who were
the competitors for the prizes. The time al
lowed for the work to be done was twenty
min utes, and the depth to be spaded was niue
inches. The quickest time made was l4h min
utes. The contest was an animated one,
aud the men worked until the perspiration
rolled off their faces. The crowd cheered
them on, and laughed at the ludicrous at
tempts made by some to drive through the
work. One man only used up the whole time.
The victor is certainly a trump and worthy

The Union Prayer Afss,iag at Goddin's Hall,
on Saturday, was more largely attended Than
It has been for some time, the room being COM
fortably filled by ladies and gentlemen. Rev.
DR.. Read, OF this city, conducted the exer-
cIses. and made earnest and appropriate re-
marks. In response to an invitations to mem-
bers of the Episcopal Conventions who might
be present TO address the meeting, brief and
animated speeches were made by Rev. Mr.
Schench, of Chicago, Mr.. Conrad, of Va,
and Judge Storer, OF Cincinnati, aud another
gentleman whose name we did not bear. The
speeches breathed y truly catholic spirit, and
produced manifest impression on the au-
dience, many of whom were affected To tears
during the exercises. Mr.. Schench, in the
course OF his remarks, said that his eye at that
instant rested upon friend W hom he had not
seen for years, and with whom his former as
sociations had been such that he had never ex-
pected TO meet him IN prayer meeting aud
tnat friend had as little expected TO see him in
the ministry. This little incident excited much
feeling. The exercises were reluc family brought
to close after O'Clock, A uni,n meeting ut
| the same place, WAS announced for O'Clock
On yesterday (Sabbath) afternoon. The noon
meeting to-day will, 1t is expected, be attend

Central Fdir--FSne Stock conatng-Tae Steam
Plough 10 be Hsre.-From all quarters, the most
cheering news comes for the uubounded sue
cess of the Virginia Central Agricultural Fair,
to commence here on the 2ith of this month.
There is now not q shadow Of a doubt that
"FAwKEs' STEAM PLot GB," the greatest inyen-
tion ever made in agricultural machinery,
will be exhibited at the Fair; and there is as
little doubt that tae farmers Of Virginia and
from every county, will assemble here to wit
ness its operations, and to applaud the inven-
tive genius of that man who has succeeded in
applying steam to the cultivation of the soil.
Not only is this machine able to break up
twenty or thirty acres of land in single day,
ON low grounds, but as neither bitches nor
gullies effect its operations, there seems to be
no doubt that it will be used with equal sue
cess on hillsides.
But little less attractive to the farming COM :

Equaiis ing the Wards-The special commit
tee of the City Conncil to whom the subject
of equaliziag the three Wards was referred
held meeting last Saturday morning, and
with great unanimity agreed upon plan,
which will no doubt be entirely acceptable to
the members Of the Council and the citizens
generally. They recommend that the middle
line of 14th street, running North and South
to the corporation lines, shall be the Western
boundary Of Jefferson Ward-that Madison
Ward shall commence at the middle line Of
14th street. and run West to the middle line Of
4th street-aaA that Monroe Ward shall COM
mence at the middle line Of 4th street aud run
West to the corporation line. s.
This change, SO easily effected, will do away
with the necessity of three days elections in
Monroe Ward--wili save the necessity Of re-
printing the ordtnances-and will give 10 each
voter his share Of representation at the Coun-
ell Board.
BY reference to the Assessors books-to
which tho committee had access in their call
culations--it will be seen that each Of sshe
wards will contain the same number Of voters
and the same amount of population, the diff
ference In each one probably not exceeding
one hundred.
