-WITu this issue OF the Democrat,
the peerless Bart. Able, under the
guidance and management of her
same skillful officers, of which Capt.
Dick Sinnott is Admiral, unfurls her
flag for the Fall and Winter cam
paign. She touched our wharf on
her maiden trip late Monday eve
ming, behind her usual time. She
had good trip, and returns to her
'lovely home'' fully repaired, re-
painted and overhauled from stem to
stern, and is beyond doubt the most
complete steamboat in the South
Western waters, outside of the three
Vicksburg Packets. She is home for
earnest and comes for good, and will
do and transact the business of her
trade legitimately, and with business
dispatch and punctuality.

AND again Grant Parish, the
ruined haunt of Kellogg Radicalism
is on the rampage, and more than
one leper on wheels is putting The
rowels to her. The arrest, whether
legal, right or proper, of Stokes, the
Parish Judge, is the cause of the
waking up of the gentry, and they
are fighting it hard before little An
tome, and each fellow swears he is
the coming man. So far Register,
of infamous memory in the Colfax
trial, has the inside track, but from
what we CLEAN here there is an entry
by the faithful in Rapides, who is
bound to make good run and come
to time. We shall publish the sum-
mary officially of the result, and mark
down the proper time.

The Democrats platoon grace
fully and de bon occur tip their new
and worn out beavers, to the Man
agement of the Fair, for beautifully
chalking their different beavers, and
will surely remember the compliment
with veneration. We, one and all,
shall avail ourselves of the golden OPP
portunity, and each and every day,
do Che gallant and genteei things al
ways expected from the true ones of
the Fourth Estate.

We have not heard of our Tele-
graph for more than q month. The
poles are up to this Town, and the
wire also here-but for some cause
the work has halted-and we are left
to conjecture what is the matter?

The Police Jury are now in SEES
sion, and we feel assured they will
meet the Railroad question like wise
legislators and honest men, and will
grapple with the important subject
in a manner worthy Of the Parochial
body, who are the true representa-
tives Of the honest masses of our
Parish. Their constituents VIII o
elected them have full confidence in
them, and have no fears of the result.
In our next we will publish their pro-
ccedings in full, and hope to be able
to endorse all our expressed good
opinions Of that body.

A FINAL EE0aD,

We are reminded that this is the
last opportunity we will have of say
ing good word in behalf of our AS
ISOLATION, whose third exhibition is
now looked forward to with so much
interest by all classes Of our commu-
nifty. On next Tuesday the 18th
inst, the opening exercises of this in
teresting event will be inaugurated
and we sincerely trust that the at
tendance and expression of public
interest on that, and the succeeding
days will be commensurate with the
efforts Of the gentlemen who have
labored SO earnestly in behalf Of the
enterprise. We have ourselves al
ways been its faithful advocate, and
have laborcd with all our little abili-
ty to induce our readers, and the
public generally to give it all the
support and encouragement that lie
in their power We have especially
urged the necessity of showing their
practical interest, which is best dis
played in the exhibition of articles
for competition. In community
like ours, devoted to the pursuits of
Agriculture, there should be few who
could not furnish something for ex-
hibition. Let our planters come for
ward with the best products of their
fields, gardens and orchards, and the
healthy competition which will thus
be evoked, will only stimulate them
to renewed exertions in the growing
of larger crops, finer fruits and 'vege-
tables. Every one should esteem it
a duty TO attend and exhibit at, and
in every way encourage his local
Fair. If you are a well-to-do and
successful planter, go to the Fair for
the purpose of letting some poor
struggling fellow beat you in some
thing, you can afford it, and it will
be worth great deal to him.
1t is the great bane of our South
ern system of farming that we pay
so little attention to matters of this
kind. We exhaust ourselves in the
production of one or two great crops,
entirely neglecting those minor, but
important accessories of farm life,
which add so much to the comforts,
and it will be found an Indispensable
adjunct in every true, and permanent
ly successful system of Agriculture.
The cure for such evils is to be
found in the active encouragement
Of just such enterprises as the one
whose interests we now advocate
Show us acountry Fair crowded with
the products Of labor, Of the field,
garden and orchard, and with
improvcd'stock of the various class
es, and we will show you commu-
nifty independent, prosperous and
happy, as its patrons. The attain
ment of su,.h a condition must be
The natural aim of every intelligent
people. Let us then diligently open
up and pursue the paths which must
unerrinely lead 10 the desired gaoI.

Provide clean nests for the hens. and
remove all rubbish where they may hide

Seed beds upon light dry soil should

Cattle of all kind, shofd be kept of

every hundred weight of food which they
would be able TO clean, at least four hun
dred weight would be taken out of the har-
vest next fall. 1t i more economical TO
buy hay than to thus rob the grass fields.

below the surface. When so deep as this
the whole surface may be narrowed sever

too large to allow the use of the harrow.
Then the corn cultivator comes into use.
SO as to get at them in February, We dig

Nav. Prices for washed roots at the
groceries range from seven TO ten cents
per pound Grated in bottles it WHOLESALERS
at twenty-five cents per pint bottle, (half

profitable way to busy themselves at
dull season-selling to some single gro
ceries $50 to $50 worth in bottles. To
make large growth it needs rich ground
and then small spot produces a large
weight of it, 1t should all be used at one

The HENRY F. MILLER PIANo-FOpTrs.
Inc instruments from this establishment
are rapidly coming into public notice
ana favor, and already occupy a foremost
position among first-class pianos.
Mr.. Miller is himself practical mechan-
&C. and thorough musician, and the su-
per'orty which these pianos have'over 9TH
ers' is owing in a large measure to the
careful supervision which each instrn-
ment receives from the manufacturer he-
fore it is allowed to leave his establish.
ment. The award of the contract to t,r
nish the public schools of Boston with
pianos must be very gratifying lo NJ
Miller, and is testimony of the nausjcaj
public to the high position which these
Instruments occupy. The severe test that
they have received at the New ENGLAND
of Music. and at MANY 9TH.
er public institutions where thew are in
constant daily use, is a guarantee Other
many excellent qualities, and especially of
