On Thursday evening of the present week, notwith-

hall was well filed with an appreciative audience,
to listen TO n lecture from the Rev. :. c, Damon.
We have heard but one expression of appreciation

with earnest and cheering words. and We are happy
to say that already ONE fifty persons have signed

lies on the Louisville and Frankfort

Biinkirons, near Hampton Court. He
has amassed colossal fortune by the
manufacture of paper collars, and spends
his income as an amateur stock-breeder,
confining himself, believe, however, to
horses only. The extent to which he is
engaged in business may be estimated
from the fact that last year his sales of
yearlings amounted to 100000

magnitude in the racing armament. They
ran against each other, but nothing
else outstrips them. "Asteroid," his

From the equerries we bent our steps
to the dairy. The milk-house is of cut

were 80 cows, Jerseys, Ayrshires, and
Shorthorns in the "cuppin."
The Jersey, in its varieties, comes, as
the name indicates, from the Channel
Isles. They arc small, fawn-shaped
animals, with yellow hair, skin and
hoofs-famous for the richness Of their
milk. From to 81 gallons at milking,
gallon of cream can be taken, which
makes veritable golden butter. The
cross on the Ayrshire or Shorthern gives
the requisite quantity of the lacteal fluid
to satisfy the gaping mouths Of the
"younkers" of the family, as well as
cream in quantity sufficient for the good
housewife.

the Parkersburg Times had contracted
to champion the Governor of this State
for pay, and having been solemnly as
sured to the contrary by the aforesaid
editor, we withdraw our insinuatisn
with regard to his mercenary acts and
character, and assure the public that so
fur from being recompensed for his SER
vices, he is actually doing BoREMAN's
dirty work for nothing. Among the
demi-moade there are occasionally found
those who pursue their calling from
pure love for the business. Such in-
stances have now found their parallel
in editorial life. The case of prosti-

tributed to the operators fondness for
the vocation.

Pedestrianism-Ano Remarkable
Walk.


The Milwaukee Ners, of the 18th, says
pedestrianism is becoming all the rage
out West, and records the following
feat:
"Some two weeks since bet of 500
side was made between Hesse Hassel
and Alfred Wilcox, both of Portage
City, Wisconsin, that the former wonld
walk from Portage City to Milwaukee
in twenty-four consecutive hours.
Wednesday evening last, at 4 o'clock in
the afternoon, Hassel started on the trip.
His frierd, Mr.. Gorden, and Wilcox, with
whom he had the wager, accompanied
him in a buggy. The route taken
was the ordinary wagon road which
runs parallel to the railroad. Hassel
ate supper at Fox Lake junction and
arrived at Horizon q little after IL p.
NJ, where he rested an hour. He then
took up the line Of march for Milwau-
kee, breakfasted at Woodland; dined at
Greenville. and arrived at Milwaukee
twenty minutes past three o'clock, in
good condition, winning his wager easily
and having forty minutes to spare. The
distance between Portage City and
Milwaukee is ninety-five miles by rail-
road, and must exceed ore hundred
by actual measurement of the wagon
road. It must be set down as the most
extraordinary days walk on record in
the West.
