Mr.. Keith's $1Oo,ooo

Mr.. l.. Keith, of Kingston, Mass, the
gentleman who was announced day or
two ago as the receiver of the capital
prize of 500, 900 in the Louisville lottery,
has been to Louisville and got his check
fol, that handy little sum, and returns ele-
vated from comparative penury to the
pinnacle of gilded Opu!ence. Mr.. Keith
Is twenty-five years old. and heretofore.
as junior member Of Kingston firm, has
been mainly interested in transactions in
onions, tape,f molas es, ax-helves and
other commodities kept on draught at
{ ,untry st res. His father was connected
will, a Boston Rouse that went down in
the fire, while the remote ancestor Of all
the Kefths was Rev. James Keith, a cler-
gyman who came to this country and
dwelt in the joyous tenets of Scottish
Pre- byterianism. Happy was this austere
man that he passed away couple of hum
dred yeaxssbefore this degenerate. sen so
squarely went back on the family ira
ditions. But Mr.. Keith, poor man, by
virtue Of his New England education, is
utterly ignorant of the true value and
proper uses, of money, and instead ofex-

expenses of titanian s'tear' ''rallover the

Ing benefit,s swfif probably ssdnahderz It on
his business, recklessly throw it away in
erecting more commodious blackstone
and stocking the same with better line
of .ax-helves, and will eventually die a
miserable victim to his own indiscretion,

The Agricultural Report for July rep
resents an improvement in winter wheat,
but decline in the prospects of spring
wheat, on account of unreasonable wealth
ert in some quarters. The average on
corn is increased in Western Virginia and
Minnesota, and decreased in all the other
States except Florida and Arkansas
where it remains the same as last year.
Corn planting was everywhere retarded
by the weather, and in many cases corn
has been several times replanted. The
universal complaint of defective seed is
made in all parts of the country. The
prospective yield of oats declined dur
ing June in New England, the Middle
and Northwestern States, except Wiscon-
sin. Winter rye improved in Rhode Is.
land, Connecticut, New Jersey, North
Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas,
Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Iowa; it re-
mained stationary in Georgia, and de-
c,ined in all other States. Spring rye was
generally below an average crop in all
the States but five, the minimum of 20
being found in California, and the maxi
mum Of 10 in Nebraska. Winter barley
generally declined in5the South and West,
where heavy rains prevailed. Grass crops
generally improved in New England and
the Middle States, though very greatly
shortened by drouth. The late winter

The Times says:
The death of Mrs. Harriet Brent, vito of
Henry NJ Brent, Sr Cashier of the Shenan-
doah Valley National Bank, which occurred on
Wednesday morning last, cast a gloom over
our whole community. Her eminent christian
virtues endeared her to large circle of friends
and relatives, and her loss will be severely felt
both in the social circle and the church.
The sympathies Of the community are with
her venerable husband, in this hour of his aflic-
ton.
