Gen. Meredith's Stock Sale.

On account OF the prevalence of the
horse epidemic, the attendance at Gen.
Meredith's stock sale, last Tuesday, was
very small. The sale was commenced,
but after few animals had been sold at
low prices was withdrawn, on condition
that buyers desiring any particular ami
NAL, might have the privilege Of calling
for it. Under this condition, some If
teen head of blood cattle, five graded
cattle, and eleven blooded hogs, were
brought out for bidders. The blooded
cattle we're disposed Of at an average
price Of $222 each. The grade cattle
sold for little more than stock prices.
The sale of hogs was very dull, thu
eleven offered bringing little more than
ordinary stock prices. Some private
sales have been made at good prices

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIREC
TON.

A joint meeting of committees
from the Board of Agriculture and
the Board of Trade was held at
the State House Tuesday for the
purpose Of consulting as to the
feasibility of having an exposi-
ton in connection with the State
Fair next year. The Board of
Agriculture was represented by
President John Switzerland, Hon.
Thomas Bowling, Hon. /. D. G..
Nelson, W. p. Seward and j. Gallo
we'll; the Board Of trade by Presi
dent John c. Wright, Professor E.
T. Cox, David Gibson, Captain W.
D. Wiles and Thomas Cottrell.
There were also number ofpromi
nent citizens present besides the
regular committees.
The Legislature will no doubt
give the project such aid as in its
wisdom it may deem requisite, by
appropriating sum, which, in ad-
dition to the subscriptions that
might be raised, would be amply
sufficient to erect buildings for the
purpose. The business men of
Indianapolis promise to subscribe
literally and our own citizens will
not be outdone in giving the en-
terprise ample aid. By all means
let us have an exposition next year.

longest continuous cable line in
existence, though We suppose that
instead of being laid entirely in
the deep sea, it will touch land, on
its way to Brazil, at the Ca nary

do much to increase the importance
Of the Brazilian Empire, to enlarge

OF THE BOSTON FIRE.


The Bostonians, with admirable forth
tude, have promptly set to work fgur-
ing up their losses by the great fire, as
certaining what proportion Of the insur-
ance will be paid, and looking to meas
ures for rehabilitation. The business
men are getting ready to rebuild, and Of
the local insurance, it is believed fully
fifty per cent viii be paid.
However much the misfortune Of Bos-
ton may be deplored, it is solacing re-
Election that no other city in the United
States is probably SO capable Of repair
ing the losces. The leading journals
tell US that the distress is b. no means
sufficient to call forth any outside con-
tributions, and they would not be ac-
cepted if rendered that the sufferers are
almost entirely well-to-do merchants.
with sufficient credit and enterprise to
start again, and that the city is amply
able to take care of the really needy.
All that is asked is reasonable amount
of forbearance on the part Of creditors,
and this, it cannot be doubted, will te
willingly granted. Boston capital is a
power in every financial and trade CEN
ire of the country. New York has mil
lions of it in loans and in branch mer-
camille houses and nearly every other
city in the Union is debtor to Boston.
She will get all the money she may need
to start again, but it is to be remem-
bered that her new uses for money can
not te supplied without contracting the
means, to some extent, Of the neighbor-
ing cities. No time will be lost in re-
building and starting anew.
To restore things to their former
basis there is probably not less than
fifty millions of dollars awaiting distri-
button where the losses ACQUIRED. The
process of rebuilding will give employ
ment to thousands If laborers, and the
cost Of building will withdraw many
millions, from first to last, from the &C.
customed channels of trade, but in few
months, at most, it will find its way
back, and the old order will be restored i.

Disastrous fires have been so prevalent
Of late Is to create nervousness and
alarm. Since the Boston conflagration
there have been large fires in Brooklyn,
Jersey City and iu various Western
towns, destroying in the aggregate 1
large amount Of property. Every fire
which sweeps away large amounts Of
property, shows the necessity Of using
care in selecting insurance companie s.
The man who pays his money year after
year, and finds at last that he has
leaned upon an irresponsible insurance
company, complains without a remedy.
He who insures his property should use
as much caution as he would If lending
money--ses that the company will be
able TO pay in . case Of loss. The man.
ayers Of insurance companies are sensi-
" retrenching, BY cutting down ex-
travagant commissions, and tapping of

Advice to a Young Poet.

A youth of poetic tendencies
who signs himself Theodore"
has written to Max Adelcr, of the
Philadelphia Dispatch as follows:
Will you please tell me iithercs any
word in the English language which
rhymes with epizootic? Max says:
There may be such word. The
odore, or there may not. The
question is irrelevant to what we
have to say toyon. 1t is transparent
ly clear, Theo,iure, that you are 60
ing to make an attempt to straddle
out into literature with a poem up
ON the horse disease. In that e.
vent what you want is not ryhmc,
hut common sense. You do not
need word which will jingle with
''epizootic" SO much as you are
suffering to be seized By the hair
by your parent, and shaken up and
bruised aud put by somewhere in
the garnet upon low diet You
cannot make a poem upon the
horse disease, Theodore, if you try.
There is a certain want of senti-.
ment, singular absence ot- food
for tho imaginative faculties, in the
epizootic, which limits discussion
of the subject TO prose. It will
be useless, therefore, for you to
wrestie with the MUSES. in con-
tcmplating the theme, or to dis
hevel your hair in an effort to pour
out your soul in song. You can
not have any deep feeling upon the
suject. Theodore, because you are
not in danger of taking the disease
yourself. The donkey tribe is no
toriously exempt. So, if you have
imagined that you have any symp-
toms Of the malady, you must have
been mistaken; and your best
policy, Theodoer seems to US
be to blow your nose and keep
quiet.

A Nuisance.

There has been a pretty general COM
plaint for few weeks past concerning
shameful nuisance, WHICH instead of
abating, is growing worse and more
bold. We refer to the practice of boys
and young men going in swimming
near the road west of the bridge. In
the evenings and ON Sunday the banks
are lined with these shameless young
men and boys who are not content to
bathe and then modestly retire, but in
nudity, loiter about the banks, in full
view Of the road, playing ball frequent
ly, while ladies and gentlemen are pass
ing by on their way to and from church.
Such a practice is a crying shame,
and every one engaged in it should be
Immediately reported, and dealt with
to the fullest extent of the law, which
is strict on this point. Should this state
of affairs continues some young men who
think them selves gen tlemen, will find a
complaint laid in against them, and be
obliged to go before the authorities to
answer to a charge, that will not reflect
much credit on themselves. We warn
all such to beware, as there are those
who have expressed themselves to be
ready to lay in complaint if anything
should again occur. The law is severe
on this point. ty- E

Nomination of Greeley.

When the word came to town on
Wednesday evening of last week that
Greeley and Brown were nominated at
Baltimore, feeble effort was made by
the Democracy to get up ratification
meeting on the square. An old barrel,
the loafing bench at the County Offices
and one or two old store-boxes were
gathered together in heap on the
square, and were touched off gently.
Some forty or fifty rallied round the
hickory pole, sang "Old John Brown
-(what a wonder)-''Tramp, tramp,
tramp &C., then listened to three and
five minutes speeches from Squire JUS
tice, II. Hoagland, w. Stilwell, J. NJ.
Robinson, ]. w. Yorhes, Judge Estill,
and @. S. Vorwerk. They all swallowed
the elephant, with great effort on the
part of some. The Squire drew some
fine illustrations. He said they would
have to jump into the wagon or get run
over. After the speaking was over a
large majority of the crowd adjourned
to the saloons to wet their whistles, and
if all reports are true score or two of
them did not get home till morning.

A Disturbance.

On last Sabbath afternoon, Joseph
Kerr and Harvey Emmons of Ripley
township visited our town and got into
quite muss with Jacob Fritz. In the
quarrel, stoves, tables, chairs, &c., were
mashed up and knocked about pretty
lively. In the melee Fritz was knocked
down and roughly handled. By burst
ing open the door a crowd rushed in
and quieted the uproar. Kerr and En-
mons were placed in Jail for safe keep
ing, and on Monday morning were
brought before Esquire Justice, who
upon examination, recognized them to
the Probate Court, each in the sum of
$4OO. After giving good and sufficient
bail for the said amounts, they were re-
leased from the custody of the Sheriff.
Young men will take notice hereafter
when they visit our town on Sunday,
to attend church or keep quiet, other
wise they may expect to be roughly
dealt with.

Be Prudent.

An exchange n.akes the following
timely hints: As the season of cholera
morbus, diarrhea, &C., is at hand, il
would be well to remember that chief
among all the causes of cholera in fam
tlim are high and sustained atmospher-
ic heat and defective ventilation, so that
the little sufferers are breathing not
only heated but an impure air, which
exerts poisonous operation on the or
ganization, and most OH the nervous
and digestive systems. The next ex-
citing cause of the. disease in question
is indigestible food, which the stomach
is unable to reduce to a homogeneous
whole, out of which chyle' and blood
are formed, but, instead, disturbs the
stomach, causes sickness and vomiting,
or, if it passes into the bowels, gives
rise to diarrhea. "a
