MEssRs. EDITORS.

1t was our pleasure
to be present at the late entel tainnent CIV
en- the Court House for the benefit of the
Woodstock Graded School. and when We
remembered that those who took part in
the performance did not begin to prepare
for it until Wednesday and then performed
on Friday night, we were very agreeably
disappointed, Not that we expected the
| less, but that we saw the more" And we
take this opportunity to congratulate the
town on having SO many young persons
who have developed such a talent for
acting. 1t is to be remarked on that from
so few there was so much beauty, all OF
the young ladies looked we'll, some beauti-
ful. The programme on Fridly nigh
consisted of the peak Sisters" which was
we must confess the greatest pack of
foolishness we have ever heard, TO say
nothing of the ridiculous appearance
which the young ladies presented in their
yet more ridiculous costumes. After this
a moot court was held and breach Of
promise of marriage case tried, which ex-
cited a great deal of merriment This was
followed by very interesting play called
MAD Cap,n which was exceedingly well
rendered by those who took part in it, so
we'll rendered that we could scarcely
believe that one of the young ladies had
never appeared on the stage before. In
addition to this there was play called
''Eh! what is it?' which created quite
laugh, and gave general satisfaction the
female character being especially well
played. After the performances those
who had tie management of the affair.
thought as the weather was very inclem-
ent in The early part of the night, they
would give another performanc on Satur-
day night, which they did with equal
success repeating the Peak Sisters & Eli!
what is it and adding that play "Family
jars" which has never yet failed to take
well in Woodstock and which can not
fail to be success while In the hands of
those who acted in it on that occasion.
On both nights the strattan Orchestra
enlivened the occasion with some OF their
sweet music, being assisted on Saturday
night by the Brass band.
Woodstock is fortunate in having wo
such fine bands. The Orchestra has been
here for some time and every one knows
its worth. One Of the greatest charteris-
tics of both bands are their readiness to
accommodate all whom they can, and
although they differ with most musicians
in this respect, they are not less musicians
for it, as has been satisfactorily shown by
the rapid progress which the Brass band
has made since their organization. They
have but recently gotten their horns and
yet they were the object of very favorable
criticism on Saturday night and some Of
those present from distance were tempt
ed to compare them to some of the pro-
fessional hands of the cities In conclusion
let me congratulate those who had the
mansgeme nt OF the performance in their
charge on their success, both bands on
their fl ne music. and Woodstock OH pos
sessng both the bands and the perform
ers. They cleared about $40.
Respectfully,

Child Drownea-PRozsADLE MURDER
Our attentive friend. G. w. s. at Shohan
doan Iron Works, furnishes us the par
ticulars of the death of child, near that
place, which occurred On the LIST OF Sep
TENDER. He says in his letter.
"Our little burg was disturbed on the
LIST of Sept. by the cries of colored man
named Ransom Jacobs OH the opposite
side of the river from us He was CRYING.
ooh! my child, my poor child !" Upon
enquiry the following facts were elected:
There was a negro girl strolling through
the neighborhood. and she had frequent
ly been at jacobs; and on Sept. LIST he
ordered her off and then went on to his
work, his wife having gone out to her
work in patch near by The girl took
the youngest child, little boy, carried it
to the river and after taking off its cloth
ing, it is supposed murdered the child
thew it into the river, and then took the
clothing to the house, She then went
into the field and told Jacobs his child
was gone, and then left. Search was in
stituted, ard after a frutless search all
night, on the morning of Sept. Hiram
Conner found the child, without. any
clothing. about two hundred yards below
the house, the house being imme diately
upon the bank of the river. At this
writing the child still lies in the water as
found, and the girl is still at largc."-

We clip the following brief report Of the
address OF Gen. j. Ii. Williams, delivered
at the Rockville, Md. fair, from the Bait.
San of Sep. l0tn.
At - O'Clock the annual address, post
poned from yesterday, was delivered by
Mr.. James Ii. WIlliams,o of Winchester, Va
from the grand stand, around which con-
grcgated ali immense number of persons.
The Speaker was introduced by President
Elisha J. Hall in . few pleasing remark S.
The address ofGcif W Slams was eo-
quent, instructive and peculiarly happy,
and in it he made many telling points. He
started out by saying that food and railnent
are the first great wants Of man; to supply
| these is the province of agriculturists. His
| calling is ancient, honorable and universal
| ancient as beginning with the eldest
| son of Adam; honorable and universal as
devoted to the sustenance and support of
| the human family. 1t is tue that from
the water man has obtained something OF
food, that the chase has given him both
| of food and raiment and that mother earth
| has offered her spontaneous fruits but
it is equally true that the development
aid progress of the race by a law Of mans
being is impossible without labor. Nature
gives the power of growth and the means
! to achieve but leaves the rest for mans
labor to supply and develop The re-
mainiug PORTION of his address was devot-
ed to the exposition of his views OF sci nee
In agriculture and material prog: ess.
After speaking at some length on both
of the above gubjocts. and expressing
many new Ideas, he concluded 1--WE
must multiply our ability to produce.
Year by year the virgin soil of this great
continent diminished 1t is not true OF
England. Why must 1t be so OF lis How
farlare we from the day when the human
family must be fed by increased produce
ton, not increased acreage? It will come
! to this. We must meet it. Will we ad-
| nit that our people are less of men than
our fathers, or that the race deteriorates !?
1t is true they do not Eve so long, but
they live so much the more, and must do
so. There may be not SO many sonnd
bodies in which to have sound minds, but
the simple change in travel may account
for this. The express train for the jostle
of the stage coach, the parlor car for
the horseback ride. may do much to shor-
ten the life of race. but the brain power
is here-the patriotic purpose is here.
NO there is material for greatness OF
the farmer. The godly heritage given to
Maryland embraces all man can ask. The
| moment Is propitious. There is only the
| effort needed on your part--the resolute
effort to bring the physical we'll nigh up
| to the mental. Here is climate and soil
water and minerals that must tempt capi-
! tai and labor to orr shores. From the
| Northwest we may soon expect a tide OF
i'm nigration, while the OLD world, looking
| for a hospitable shore, must turn to us
| In conclusion he recommended that far
mcrs give their sons as much schooling
and time TO learn the profession of agri-
| culture as is devoted to the other and
less difficult professions. More training
is necessary for agriculture than any other
! study or profession.
