Bayn DIR. TANNERS CELEBRATED CAT
TILT is with much pleasure that we
publish the following notices of the
above cattle, taken from the Martins
burg Independent and Statesman. We
think the success DIR. Tanner has met
with in the raising ofpure blooded cat
tie should be All incentive to many OF
our farmers to engage in this important
branch of their business The DR.. is one
of our best farmers, and we trust that
his endeavor to raise the best stock will
be appreciated to a greater extent in
the future than in the past. The Mde-
pendent says -
We desire to call the attention OF
our farmers to the propriety of increas-
ing their herds of thoroughbred stock.
We cannot do it in any better way than
by referring to the extraordinary success
attained in that line by DR.. l. S. Tan
ner, of Shepherdstown. He took at our
fair over one hundred dollars in preml-
ums by his Durham and Devon stock.
lie has only been in the business six
years, but in conversation with us yes
terday, he remarked that he studied
cattle for years before he purchased land
when he did purchase, he resolved to
have none but the best. The DIR. says
it costs no more to keep them, they
multiply as fast, and are worth four
times the money ordinary cattle bring.
Without disparaging other stock shown
at our fair, il must be admitted even by
rival exhibitors that Dr. Tanners herds
are magnificent. In fact it is almost
impossible to surpass them; but we
would really like 10 see our farmers
show more interest in the matter, SO
that they can boast of as having as
good if not better stock than the people
of any other county.
The Martinsburg Statesman says -
DIR. l. S. Tanner, of Jefferson county,
carried off at our late fair the largest
aggregate amount in premiums for OK
cellence of pure bred stock. We are
glad our Jefferson neighbors have been
successful, it may spur our own farmers
up toward improving their stock.

THE POOR RICH MAN.

Look at HIM ! he Is just getting out
Of his carriage. lie steps with Difficult
ty; his face is scanned with care; hiscoat
is rusty-yOu would not know him i'll
the street from any handwriting bust
ness man. Yet he owns whole streets
full OF houses and miles of unimproved
property. lie keeps an army of servants
in his house up town, and an army OF
clerks in his business houses down town.
He has neither chick nor child, and he
lives on bowl of cruel ror his break
fast, and the wing of 4 chicken for his
dinner-he dare not eat supper What
does he get out Of his money?
His house, it is true, cost him hun
dred thousand dollars, but he occupies
the smallest room, sits OH the plainest
chair, eats the simplest food, and sleeps
the least of any one in it. While he
was saving the money, he thought he
was doing it for himself, land the thought
stimulated him to save more. Whlle
he was building his house he thought
he was building it for himself, and he
consulted architects, and had plan after
plan drawn out, until he believed that
he had found one that was perfection.
But he knows now that it was 4 mis-
take all the way through; he did not
save the money for himself for there is
nothing he wants of it, now he has got
it. He did not build the house for him
self,for he cannot occupy it; it is simply
n small hotel, which offers luxurious ac-
commoda,ion free, and round sum for
pocket money for dozen male and te-
male domestics, who enjoy it Infinitely
more than he does, who give HIM as
much or as little as they chose of every
thing that he has, and who consider him
only valuable rs a money bag, from
which their supplies are drawn.
As lad how he envied the sich man!
how he dreamed of what he would do
when he became possessed OF wealth
how greedily he looked at fine house,
at handsome equipage, at the insignia
of money, and social position.
And now he is rich, but he does not
realize it; he thinks of nothing but the
twinges of his rheumatism the COM
plainings or delinquencies OF his ten
ants. or the "tricks" of his ''rascally
servants He does not really live Ill his
house or ride in his carriage, for III the
one he does little but sit and think up
on the happy times when he vas apoor
boy at home upon the farm and in the
other wish, that by giving it, with his
fine horses, to the manly young fellow
whom he passes in the street, he could
buy his health, activity and power OF
enjoyment.
1t is not what man has, but what he
is, that makes him rich.

II U uMoaous ITEMS.

GB Many years ago an American ship
sailed from port in Ireland, with large
number of emigrant passengers. After the
EN- igrants were all on board, a head-wind
prevented the ship from leaving the port,
steamtugs being then unknown. But at
length the wind changed, the sails were
dropped, and the anchor tripped. The
ship was scarcely under way when young
Irishman, looking up through the hatch
way, saw that she was in motion. He rush
ed on deck in great CONSERVATION. Being
in the way of the sailors engaged in work.
ing the ship, the mate called to him : but
"Och Och Och p was all that Pat could
say as he rushed frantically from side to
side of the ship. l.y .u
'Get out of the way" again roared the
mate.
"Och Och Och p was the only answer.
"Why, what is the matter with you,
