this item are so extravagant that should
scarcely be credited without literal quotation
from the Herald itself. It says:
"The establishment Of race course in the

the government, and under the control of the
Agricultural Department, would afford q ready
means Of restoring the thoroughbred horse
to such degree Of usefulness as would rem

out the land, and do away with all inferior
horses as stations. An appropriation by Con-
gress of one hundred thousand dollars wear
to the Agricultural Department for the pur-
pose OF distribution as prizes would be great
lnducement to breeders to enter into active
GQInpatition for such nremiums as might be
-. According to this plan, the government is to
put up the stakes, and the Commissioner Of
Agriculture is to be the stakeholder, as follows
..." "We might suggest that prize of ten thous-
four mile heat running race, with six thousand
to the second horse. three thousand to the
third and one thousand to the fourth. The
same premium should be awarded to the trot-
ting stations. This would give two meetings
year-one in the spring, exclusively for the
running horse, and the other in the autumn for
the trOtter." st'

And disrobed Of the mortal

Twas thine ut life's calm closing,
While meath the chast'ning rod,
To whisper ere reposing-
"Trust thou, oh trust in God
That truat shall hallow ever
Thy tranquil place of rest,
Though lingering sadness never
Leave those thy love has blest.
But oh twill be that sadness.
Tinged with no shade OF gloom,
For thou art now whore gladness
Blends radiance with the tomb. $.
There hope shall have fruition,
And there the golden chain,
Caught up from earthly vision,
Forever bright remain.
Then though our heart-strings quiver
Beneath the reaper's breath,
Our free-born souls forever,
Will triumph over death.
Then rest, beloved and dearest.
Where lingering shades lie deep,
Though over thee, earth's fairest
The pearly dew-drops weep;
We know thy spirit riven
Has reached the crystal dome,
And all the hosts of Heaven
Murmured thy welcome home.

his supper,-and retired in usual
health. About half-past ten, he awoke
the family informing them that he
was i'll, and thought that he coulG

to the delay in crossing tho river al
night, the physician did not arrive
until after his death.

member Of the Presbyterian church
His deathcomes with crushing weigh
