Agricultural Meeting,


The Board of Directors of the Clay
ton County Agricultural Society met
at National pursuant to appointment
on the 18th inst.
Owing to the severity of the wealth
er full board was not present, but
those in attendance are men who have
the interests of the Society at heart,
and went to work with will.
A great amount of important bust
ness was transacted and arrangements
made for making the next fair the
best exhibition, of the kind, ever held
in the State. The Premium List was
thoroughly revised and no complaint
can be made that the premiums offer
ed are insufficient. Over 81, 100 in
premiums is offered the present year
list of which will be published as
soon as prepared. the time fixed fol
holding the next fair is Sept. 9th,
2Sth and Goth, a full programme OF
which will be published in due time
And now ladies and gentlemen is the
time to prepare to compete for the Pre-
miums of 1870.
Those who attended the last fail
know the ladies' department was sad.
ly neglected; and now, ladies, is the
time to prepare your articles for the
next exhibition; now is the time tc
prepare your needle-work, your draw
ings and paintings, and very many
articles both ornamental and useful,
that you may not only display but
cultivate those finer tastes in which
your sex SO far surpasses ours. The
gentlemen's department will be full,
in yours we hope there will be nc
lack.
Now is the time, too, to procure
your flower seeds and bulbs and be
prepared for Spring, which will short
ly be upon us. The premiums offered
on a single variety Of flowers will pay
for the seeds and bulbs Of many choice
varieties, and you all know how mucl
| flowers add to the beauty of your de
partment as well as to the beauty Of ou
homes, and their cultivation very proper
ly belongs to you.
To Mechanics and Artisans also, we say
now is the proper time to make prepare
tons for display of the articles of you
mechanism and the acquisitions of your
art, at our next fair.
And fellow farmers, now is the time
too, for us to not only use the means fol
the improvement and development of ou1
stock, but also to procure new varieties
of grain and vegetables.
A single premium offered by the Soci
ETY. this year on vegetables would pay fol
many new and valuable varieties no
grown among us, and be the means of no
| only adding many dollars to our pockets
but adding much to the Agriculture
wealth Of our County.
Let us take hold of this matter then ant
not only make our next exhibition thu
best ever held in this or any other County
but make our Society what its founder
| intend it to be, means for the advance
ment of Agriculture, mechanics and the
fine arts among us.

WHAT DID He SAY, LYDIA Coed old
Mrs. Call was very hard of hearing, being
somewhat advanced in years. Her daught.
er Lydia was a blooming lass, who loved a
good frolic and knew well how to get one
up. Lydia had arranged junket, and
the young men and maids were all on
hand. Among the rest was Gen. -,
one of EN-. In the midst of the fun in
popped old Deacon - to see how the
widow Jared. This was a wet blanket to
the merriment, and Lydia was out of all
patience. She wished he would 20, and
by-and by he gets up to depart.
"Oh, Deacon" said Mother Call, s'don't
think of going before tea.
The good deacon, so strongly urged,
replied
"Well, rather think l won't, as the
folks will not expect me home till dark -
''What did he say, Lydia ?" asked the
widow.
Lydia had ready answer.
'He says he will not to day, mother, as
the folks expect him home before dark.
Why, how deaf you are mother"
''Oh well, some other day, deacon, won't
you ?" said Mother Call as she showed the
deacon out.
"smart girl, that" said the old deacon,
trudging along home. "She'll find her
way through, I'll warrant"

1t is a singular, but no less true remark
in a late work, that Jefferson was born
just eight years after his predecessor
Adams, Madison eight years after Jeffer-
son and John Quincy Adams eight
years after Monroe. Another curious
fact to be observed is that Adams was just
&c years old when he retired Jefferson
was &c; Madison 66; Monroe was &C,
and John Quincy Adams, had he been
elected to second term, would have been

Mexico. .InsurrectiOn Against Juarez
Making rand Progress.

MdhInS Taplu ITOSfesss
NEW YORK, Feb. 14--Vera Cruz
correspondence gives summary of
events in Mexico at the beginning of
FEBRUARY. The Instruction against
Juarez was making rapid progress.
The strength of the revolutionists is
in the very heart of the republic.
Liberalists, Conservatives and Imper-
ialists are united against JuareZ. The
insurgents have complete possession of
the States of San Louis de Potosi,
Leacotecatis, Aguaracalintz and Jales-
co. They are gaining ground in
Quarleroi, Duringo, Tanaloa and
Awsantipas. An extensive conspiracy
against the governments has been dis
covered in Puebla, and there are symp-
toms of revolution even in Vera Cruz.
The city of San Louis de Potosi is the
head of the rebellion.
Gen. Negrett is in Sirraci preparing
to sweep down on the national capital,
and has registered an oath to shoot
.Juarez, Romero and Mejia on sight.
Two battles have been fought in the
neighbOrhood of San Louis. The re-
suit of the first was doubtful. In the
second the Government troops were
badly beaten.
Gen. Escobedo is now commanding
the national army, and Gen. Aglerra
is Generalissimo of the revOlutionists.
The Mexican Congress before adj
journing invested Juarez with ample
powers, thus making him virtual die
tator. The unpopularity of Juarez
has been augmented by his eXtrava-
CANT outlay in entertaining Mr.. Sew
ard, and by the suspicion that there
are some real estate transactions in
volved in their meeting. 1t is be-
lieved in Vera Cruz that Juarez will
not be able to retain power longer than
four months.
English opinion in regard to Ire
land is gradually changing for the bet
ter. The queens speech asked for
such legislation as would remedy the
abuses of the landed system, and the
leaders of the government party an
nounced, at the'opening of parliament,
their intention to offer measures for
the relief of the Irish people. Even
the opposition took the opportunity to
place itself on record as favoring
Irish reform, SO that, in parliament,
at least, the prospect of substantial
remedial measures is promising.
Sir George Gray has advanced q
new theory with reference to the set
Ting of Irish grievances, which prom.
ises we'll. He says: "Let the gov.
eminent give at once to that country
a state legislature, sitting in Dublin
composed of two elective houses
house Of representatives and senate
and having the same powers as state
| legislature in the United States OF
America. Let them leave in the Brit
ish parliament the Irish members az
( at present, but without leave to speak
or vote on any such question as the
state legislature in Dublin is compe
tent to legislate upon" Some such
recognition of Ireland, which would
lift its people above the belief that
they are the dependents, the serfs, o.
Great Britain, would have very hap
Ply effect in tranquilizing Ireland, anG
| in settling the everlasting grievances
of the people of that unfortunate
| country.

1t is related of Joseph Smith, the first

he exhausted the argument of an Illinois
politician who questioned the genuineness
of his prophetic mission, in this wise:
"You say | am not prophet" said
Smith. The other assented. swell, now,

The Cincinnati Gazette confesses that
the attempt Of Butler and several radical
journals to read Dawes out of the party
for advocating retrenchment in public ex-
pendtures, sis the queerest commentary
that was ever made on party by its own
retainers." And yet it is trse as it is
queer.

WE again call the attention of the farmers
w of Maryla and Virginia to our EXCEL
SIOR, composed of 700 pounds of No. Peru
Wan Guano, and 1900 pounds of Soluble
Phosphate of Lime (bones dissolved in sulphu-
ric acid, potash and soda, forming the most
concentrated universal and durable fertilizer
ever offered to the farmer-combining all the
stimulating properties of Peruvian Guano, and
the ever durablefertilizing properties of Ground
Bones.
Excelsior is in fine dry powder, prepared ex-
pressly for drilling, and can be applied in any
quantity per acre, however small and it is the
opinion of many close calculating Farmers,
after TWELVE years experience in testing 1t
side by side with other popular fertilizers that
an application of 100 pounds of Excelsior is E.
quail to 200 to 300 pounds of any other fertiliz-
er or guano offered for sale, therefore is fully
100 to 200 per cent. cheaper.
rs The very best evidence zoe can offer Of the
ualue Of our Excelsior as a crop grower and fer
tikizer is the fact Of its being initiated and coun-
forfeited in this and other cities.
