Early Rising.

The English correspondent Of the
London Nonconformist, who is now do
ing Virginia, writes to that journal
concerning the present habits of John
Bull and Brother Jonathan. He says
The Southerners beat all the people /
have ever known in the matter of early
to bed and early to rise" For about the
first time in quarter of a century
have been sent to bed every night at
eight o'clock, just the time when some
aristocratic Londoners are dining or
preparing to dine. To make up for the
outrageous proceeding of sending civ
ilized Englishman to roost at such an
unconsionable early hour, the signal for
turning out was given at five o'clock
in the morning, and breakfast
followed soon after six. ] am hetero-

NEWS SUMMARY.
CITY AnaIra.


The Board of Trade at its meeting last
night assured by resolution the South that
the Northern merchants would heartily CO.
operate in any movement looking to the ad-
yancement of the business interests of the
Southern cities The board has also protested
against the Harbor Masters tonnage tax, but
no reply has been received from Governor
Geary. 1t is thought that a meteorological
signal system will be adopted at Lewes, Della
ware. Mr.. Morris called attention to the
fact that the interests of trade demand that
freight depots should be kept in close commu-
nlcatlon with the mercantile section of the
city. The board also believe in furtherance
OF the interests of the grain trade that de-
pots should be established at tide-water. The
Pennsylvania Railroad contemplates such
movement, and the board will memorialize
Councils on the subject.
"A mass meeting of Irish citizens was held

citizens) proceeded to resolve to organize a
society for the accomplishment of Irish liberty,
to be called the "Irish Confederation" I"
Speeches were made and the meeting ad-
journed to meet again next Monday night.
"A petition, backed by A. G. Cattell and
others, was submitted to the Councils FL
nance Committee last night, asking them to

Fayette County Cattle.

We are pleased to notice that Fayette
County cattle are appreciated at the State
Fair, and if all of them that are there do not
take first premiums, we take it for granted
that it is not because they merit such no
toriety, but because policy suggests the
idea of courtesy to all as far as practicable
In looking over the list of premiums
awarded, as far as we have them, we no
ticed that the noble Short Horned Bull,
belonging to Mr.. jesse Heagler, of this
county, took the first premium of 800, for
the best bull three years old and over.
Henry Clay"
For fat cattle we notice that Mr. Ander-
on Dewitt of this county, received pre-
miums for the best steer three years old
and under four, and for the best cow or
heifer, 5000 each.
Hoes In this line Fayette County was
ereditably represented. Mr.. B. F. Coff-
man (not Hoffman as the correspondent of
the Gazette has it, took the second premi-
um of $500 on his boar, over two years
old
On SOW with litter of pigs over six months
old, Mr.. Joseph Browning, of this county,
took the second premium of $3.50.
If other premiums were awarded to citi-
zens of our county, we have not seen them
published as yet

eight or ten days, buying Fall stock Of
goods. From his long experience in the
Dry Goods trade and his we'll known taste
and Judgment in the selection of goods, we
may, we think, safely predict for this new

sons calling on them will receive the most
polite attention; as we have always thought
it gave them more pleasure to show goods
than any other house in town.
