FRIDAY, JULY %, 1871.

MEETINGS will be held in the cities and
counties of the State generally, in the first two
weeks of next month, to appoint delegates to
the Conservation Convention, to be held IN
Richmond on the 3Oth proximo. Speaking OF
the Conventive the Richmond Enquirer says:
''rhe people ought to send as delegates men OF
seuse-not men of gab-but wise, prudent,
executive men, We do not want Convention
to blow off in; but business Convention to
organize and draw up the rank and file of the
party for the day Of contest. Any man who
has some question that he wants to agltate
in the Convention is precisely the man who
will be of no use there. Anything calculated
to distract ought to be carefully kept out OF
those deliberations.

G. Of Accotink, Va, in a note Oh agri-
cultural subjects, addressed to the Richmond
State Journal, says IF a man wishes to
raise strawberries, tomatoes and chickens III
the same enclosure, he must expect to guard
one or the other during fruiting season, or
something will inevitably come to grief. If he
has to war with himself to be enabled to
get up before I o'clock in the morning, he has
done wisely, in concluding that agriculture is
not his forte, as he evidently has u ''constitu'
tional diathesis antagonistic to sweat, and was
intended to adorn some other profession than
that of farming" This is sententions.

Mrs Harriet Beecher Stoves, new novel;
Pink and White Tyranny is designed to re-
buke some features of fashionable society and to
raise a warning voice upon the subject of mar
rage. 1t is protest against introducing Gal
lie ideas and customs here incidentally, it
describes a kind Of society found in some parts
of New England and not unknown elsewhere, in
which substantial merit and virtue live in
cloth of frieze, and hold their own against the
assaults of cloth of gold-shoddy. 1t depicts
too, that society in New York in which shoddy
is supreme and in which the domestic virtues
arc run down by love of display and excitement.
