about the running at large of horses in our
town In several instances nice young
Shade trees. put out this year and boxed

hogs. have been ruined by horses and
ulcS, allowed by their owners to run
loose upon the streets. This is certainly
a great wrong, not only to the persons
whD have manifested the taste and gone 10
trouble and expense in order to bcartiiy
and shade our streets, but is Il wrong to
the whole community. and until tie cVil
is corrected we need not expect to have
any nice shade trees to supply the places
Of the old and lgly locusts that are fast de-
caying. Persons who allow their horse,
tc run at will upon our streets Will surely
reflect upon tli. matter, and keep up then

famous by leaving the farm, we should
not hear thecry ofhNrd times. The truth
Is, it should be counted aslame for any
one in health, and over ten years ofagc, to
not earn his own living. An exchange
says:
Our boys are not learning trades; our
farmers SONS are croWding into cities,
looking for clcrksliips; hardly one Amcri-
can girl IN u hundred will houScwork for
wages, however urgent her need ; 80 we
are sending to Europe for Workmen. and
buying of her artisans millions worth that
we ought to make for ourselves"
We must turn over Il new lear. Our boys
and girls must be taught to love labor hy
qualifying themselves to do it efficiently
We must turn out fewer professionals aud
more skilled artisans, as well rs food grow
ers. We must grow and tabricate tive
hundred millions worth per annum, thai
we now import, and so reduce the forci9l
debt that we have so long and successfully
augmented year ny year. Wemust quail

Of debt that sets steadily against oul

TRlp TO NAsHyILLE.-On Thursday last
we added ourselves to the 300 persons who
left Franklin county on II visit ~ the FAR
ut Nashville. We need not say that t'lc
trip en- route to the city of Rocks was
more than ordinarily pleasant. Any one
who saw the precious cargo of beautiful
ladies who boarded the ears at the Wih-
chester depots viii quickly ro0tcSS the
truth that if we were not happy on our
route the reason was not because the
aforesaid beautiful Dolly Narlrns were
not aboard. They lCere aboard, and they
made time pass 20 pleasantly that II
might well afford to swap ten years Of or
dinarN life for one full moment Of bliss
such rs zee enjoyed.
Wei, of this no matter. To Nashville
we went. If the the aditorS of the papers
there did not notice our advent or depart
IRE. it matters not. Papers that could act
rs the Kramer and GHi0n and lmgricaa have
acted toward their country exchanges,
must be pardoned for u failure TO observe
common courtesy toward the country peo-
pie. They are too busily engaged in II
warfare rs to who snail be the most siren
uous advocate of Greeley, and sensible
people wonder why they do not stop their
sensational ioquacity ON tcchnicalitirs ano
hoist the names of Greeley and Brown at
once. But this is Il matter OF Just rs SINAI
importance to the country people as the
Nashville dailics have come to be.
What we wish to say is: eur space l.
too limited TO adult y detail Of our trip
We can only say thar all were please
with the Exposition, and returned salts
fed so far as we have heard. The mind o
no one was injured, and it is II queStio,

The old tumble-down frame Of Il build
which for so long has married the docks Of
the northeast corner Of the Square in
Winchester, is disappearing beneath the
labors of some workmcn. and We wish it
were a certainty that in its stead a fine
building would appear. With us there
are some interesting reflections about this
old frame. Once upon Il time Il family
lived therein, and Il little boy lived with
said family. And he made by his labor in
that building the first 50 bill he had ever
been able to call his own. Til amount
was his salary for one month And that
little boy was the dearest friend we ever
had, nor did he forsake us in his Older aye.
And when he saw this framet the other day
in the course of rernoval, he could but feel,
with the poet:
= How dear to this heart are the scene of
my. childhood.
When fond recollection presents them to
vicw."
Nevertheless, when thought reverted to
the many youthful dreams ola happy fu-
ture, and the longings of his soul after con
ditions of life that seemed to present nc
barrier to bliSstul contentedncSS-all blast,
ed like the flowers of spring beneath al
untimcly frost; when he thought Of veXa
tionsland carking cares that have inter
posed themselves at every step; though
of Tie dark chasms that lie between hop
and achievcment-that mar the distanc,
which lends cnchantnIcnt to the vicW.-
he rcpined not to see the destruction of
building which brought up such reiec'
tions. Sclah.
