he approached the spot the negro fired at

gun being so near Mr.. Cummings face that
the fire of the gun burnt his whiskers The
next day Mr.. Cummings borrowed a shot

upon the assassin-went to the house where
the negro lived and fired load Of squirrel

small it failed to accomplish its object and
the negro pulled out his pistol and fired at

Most Of the ailments here enumerated have

as in many cases the patient is not within the
reach of physician, it requires that some

Nanagemenf Of Agricultural SOci-
nMf0a

Mr.J. H. FaiIes address, delivered on the
occasion of his retiring from the Presidency
of the New y ork State Agricultural Socle-
ty, has been published by the Society. His
views are plainly spoken, and no one can
doubt their being earnest convictions. He
strenously opposes horse racing, all sorts OF
shows. as means of drawing a crowd, and
would have our Agricultural Societies, who
receive aid from the State, forced to keep
the associations of the race-course away
from their grounds. The New York Socie-
tv never has had trosting races, shows, games,
or ANYTHING of the kind at their fairs which
have been 50 uniformly ereditable and sue
cessful. So far as possible, it has encOur-
aged things purely agricultural, and few
Others. Mr.. i. would draw the lines still
closer, especially in regard to those articles
upon which the decision of the Society
could not be taken as authoritative. Steam
engines for general use, sewing machines,
and musical Instruments, fall within the cat
alorue aud while the makers and proprie-
tors of them should be Induced to exhibit
them, he would have no premiums offered
All who are familiar with the working of
our great agricultural fairs know that Off
GERS and clerks are worked almost to death
for day or two, before and after the OPEN
ing in taking entries, classifying them,
making out the judges books, and prepar-
ing for and receiving the stock and articles.
The judges cannot act before the second or
third day, and in many cases the show is
to attend on the third day, and on the con-
tingencies of the weather and the ability of
the railroads to carry the people depends
the suwcess of the show. All this Mr.. Faile
would remedy by simply requiring all entries
to be made and the books to be closed some
time previously. He proposes to print a
complete catalogue of everything entered,
giving as full details as possible, and have
It for sale the first day, and the judges do
their work and be ready to declare the
awards before the fairs opened. This would
cause all the days to possess an equal inter-
est. Thursday would nolonger be the great
day, to the discomfort of all and the diSap-
pointment of many who, on the account OF
the crowd, see half the show. The business
of four days would not be crowded into one
and the Society, the hotels the railroads
would at the same time be greatly relieved
and much better patronized. We heartily
second all Mr.. Faile's efforts to secure greater
efficiency i'm the management of the Agri-
cultural Societies of the country for the OBJ
jects for which they were established. These
are not money making, horse-racing, and the
political advancement of their officers, but
the diffusion among the people of useful
knowledge upon matters pertaining to agri-
culture.

From the last letter of ssRnsseIl.n In the
Boston Traveller, we make the following
extract:
MANY Of tile boys Of the I'D Massachu-
sets regiment who were with " eiSzeifs
brigade when flse charge was made on Port
HUDSON, Will remember tie gallant defense
which three or four men made at the salient
r. was expected this brigade would take and
hold until Pane's division could come up.
One Of those men, 50 native Of Port Hud-
son told Us resided ON plantation about
nine miles from the landing, near farm
now owned by Moody Brothers, from Mas
sachusetfs None of the men who saw hjm
with his ..nusket dubbed that day will
doubt his being brave man. He was at
terward captured at Chattanooga and taken
to Camp Douglas, Chicago. where he renain-
ed six months. About year before his cap
rure he had been among party who seized

sanitary commission be found pair OF blue
cotton socks, and when he drew them on he
discovered the following note inside:
.SoLDIER-Whosoever thou art, wear these
socks. with the comforting assurance that
the fingers that knit them were supplied
with life from a warm and sympathiZiDg
heart. LIZZIE v GEE, chicago.
This short letter (Which was printed in the
Louisiana papers at the time was called to
mind one day at Camp Duglas when he was

the fun of II, to write to her and tell her the
history of the pair of socks. This he did,
and soon after received a call at his quarters
from Miss Gee and her father. He did not
see her or hear from her afterward, until he
was again in the Southern army and station
ed at Harper's Ferry. There the company
in which he was a lieutenant, captured
squad of careiry. and among the number
was the only brother of Miss Lizzie V. Gee.
Every kindness which could be done for
prisoner, was done for young Gee by his new
acquaintance. and when, shortly after, Gee
was parOled he was the sworn friend of the
confederate lieutenant. When the war closed
they had some correspondence, and the con-
federate soldier was invited up to Chicago
to attend the wedding of young Gees sister.
When he got there, much to his surprise,
the ex-confederate found that Gee had two
sisters, and that the one about TO be married
was not the one he had seen. The rest of
the story is told in twinkling. He married
the sister that knit the stockings For the
latter part ofthis romance, see ''eVery body's
