DEAR News: Legislation drags its slow
length along. terrib ly slow. have never
seen legislature cit twenty nine days and
accomplish SO little as this ones. One OF
the troubles is spsech -making. Wssspeut
about two days in buncombe speech making
on the negro resolutions. This entire alter
noon has been spent in discussing a ques-
ton on which the members we're just as
ready to voteiat the commencement of the
afternoon session as they are now. a dog
en- or more bHncombe, frivolous speeches
have been made, and not single vote
changed. Thus it goes. and not over ten or
fifteen bills have passed, and those mostly
of local nature. A resolution passed the
House to adjourn on the goth, but it was
tabled in the Senate. The, House will not
be ready TO adjourn even at me end of the
fifty days, and would sit a hundred if the
Constitution allowed them to draw their
regular etbree dollars per day that long.
I only wish. thescoustituent ofsfhese'speeeh.
fSakers who consume the time of the
State at cost Of eighty five dollars per
hour, could be present.
The bill ''to aid the Slate Normal School"
by appropriating ten thousand dollar" for
the erection of a building. AID three thous-
and dollars for teachers wOges, has passed
both branches of 4beaLegislature, and only
awaits the signature of the Governor to be-
come law. The members from the South
west feel .gratifed at this success Of their
Institution. .sf
That Governor Crawford will approve
the bill have no doubt. In fact I am al
most certain be viii do SO.
Nothing more to write about. is.

THE LYON COUNTY AGRICULTURE
AL SOCIETY.


In another column We print a notice of
the next Annual meeting of the Lyon coun-
ty Agricultural Society. The business
brought before this meeting will be. first
the election of officers for the ensuing year,
and second full consideration of the ex-
pediency of holding county Fair next fall
aud if deemed expedient, then to take the
necessary steps to accomplish the object.
Every farmer of the county is considered
member ofthe Society for all the purposes
of this and other meetings.
While the Society needs the dollars that
ought to come with membership, it needs
great deal worse, a feeling of interest on the
part of the farmer, as to the work before it
1t wants members who will attend it's meet
ings, and in all reasonable ways and in for
warding the objects for which the Society
was organized. Thus far the work of main
tanning the Organization, has devolved on
few. If the same is to be true Of the future
the end can readily be conjectured. And,
of course. if the farmers of Lyon County,
do not feel interest enough in the growth
and prosperity of the Society to attend the
meetings, and help to make the Society Of
value to themselves IN their calling, why
then the sooner it is abandoned wholly, the
the better.
Now every farmer will know. from his
own experience and observation, that a
thrifty, well attended Agricultural Society,
with its necessary adjunct, an Annual
County Fair, is of benefit to every farmer
wthia its reach. This is especially true of
a new country. There are so many con-
ditions of soil and climate wholly new to all
former experience, that frequent inter
change Of ideas BY those interested, be-
comes prerequisite. TO successful farming.
But why should We enlarge upon this sub
ject? Every person who reads this article
will not only subscribe to what We have
said but can produce fifty others and per-
haps better reasons for the action we urge.
The operations of the Lyon County So
ciety are not intended to conflict, at all, with
the Southwestern Society, organized last
fall. If the latter society will hold a fair,
| then, of course, the Lyon County Society
will M. But something should be done
now. if fair !, q be held at all the coming
season. Whatever is done ~ the local So
ciety, can be turned ever TO the our DO
ciety whenever it is ready to go ahead
But this will be one of the subjects of dis
cussion at the meeting
What We especially urge. is that the
farmers shall attend the coming annual
meeting and say by their presence that they
are in favor of live Agricultural Society.
and then decide what shall be done in the
future.

saw him and B. Harris, who left
with him not four weeks ago, and learn,
ed from him all the hardships that he
underwent in leaving this country. He
says that 40 one who has the least re.
gard for truth will say that he was in
Ford's Theatre on the night Of the l4th
April last and wonders why no one
present on that occasion did not pretend
to recognize the man that shot Lincoln
nntil they were told that it was him, by
Lory Keenr his bitter enemy. H. did
not, however, to me, deny or admit that
he had done the deed; but stated that
no one could truthly say, Of their own
Showlege, that it was him. -
: He declares that Mrs. Surratt was
innocent and wonders how ti,e MAN
that was killed in the barn, looked. He
learned from the papers that'he had a
heavy beard, and had sheared or cut 1t
in such an awkward manner. that his
(Booth's) most intimate friends would
not recognize him as Booth. He thinks
not, He believed, innocent or guilty,
that If found he would have been sacri.
fitad to. their mad fury, and concluded to
leave, which he did. And as there can
be no harm IN telling, xviii state what
he told omitting names. .
