citement on the platform III front of the
depot to night just rs the west bound
train blew her whistle. An alteration
cnsued | believe, between one Clayton
.JolliH. Of Fairmont, and Owen Lezer, OF
Boston. Words ran high, and the
dense crowd of men and ladies
waiting to board the train, were greatly
agitatcd. Finally, it is said, JOHN
struck Lezer with such force rs to send
him and several others who were in his
wake clear across the railroad track.
This raised an awful ruction; the women
began screaming with fright, and the
men cursing and yelling like tiends. 1t
was feared the train would run over sew
cral persons on the track, tut they all
had sense enough in their madness to get
on the platform out of danger. There is
no telling what would have been the re
suit but for the speedy departure OF the
train. Friends hustled LcZer
into the cars, and war
Of threats and menaces continued
between the friends of each, until the de-
parting train placed safe distance he
tween them. 1t was asserted that lady
was struck and knocked down by some
brute. but hardly think 1t possible.

Such meetings have been held with
great profit in number of places in
the west. They may be held under
the auspices of the county agricul-
tural society, Of county council Of
oranges, or single grange or club,
or in default of action by any one of
these, a half dozen farmers can readily
make all needed arrangements.
When there seems a lack of interest,
aud it is thought not advisable to
arrange for such an institute or con-
vention, much may be done by having
lectures ON agricultural topics. In
some cities the "lecture business" is
said TO have been overdone, but GER
tainly this is not true of most farming
communities. A lecture by a compe-
tent person on any one of score of
subjects more or less directly connected
with agriculture would be of value to
any agricultural community. Often
times there are men fully competent
to deliver such lectures in the county,
and if not they can be secured at n
cost which will be amply repaid by the
good done. .--Rrdl World.

PARAGRAPHS OF THE PERIOD.

NEVER use anything but light blank
cts as covering for the sick. The
heavy, impervious cotton counterpane
is bad, for the reason that it keeps in
the exhalations from the pores OF the
sick person, while the blanket allows
them to pass through. Weak persons
are invariably distressed by great
weight of bed-clothes, which often pre-
vents their getting any sound sleep
whatever.

orate the fate of tract peddler who

relating especially to Galileos negotia-

the adoption of his system Of using the

THAT animals have souls is the firm
belief of many sensible persons. In
view of this fact it gives ms pleasure to
state that during the fox-hunt in Now
Jersey the other day, when the whole
party came to sudden halt before u

paused in its career, trotted back,
beckoned the bold riders to follow it,
conducted them to place where some

A PARAGON OF A WoMAN.-More
than hundred years ago a celebrated
poet painted the following pen-portrait
of what must have been a delightful
lady:
know thing that's most uncommon
Envy, be silent and attend!
I know a reasonable woman,
Handsome, yet witty, and friend.
Not warped by passion, awed by rumor,
Not grave through pride, or gay through
folly;
An equal mixture Of good humor
And exquisite soft melancholy.
Has she no faults, then Envy says), sir'
Yes, she has one, must aver
When all the world conspires to praise her,
The woman's deaf and does not hear!
"IT's amusing" said Deacon Green,
show stupid we human beings are,
little and big; what worthless things
we strive for, and what blessings We
carelessly cast away. In some parts
Of japan, when you 60 home from a
dinner, a servant is sent after you with
a box containing everything that was
offered to you at table and that you
refused. All! what if some day an
angel comes after us to show us all the
blessings that were offered to US on
earth, that we were too stupid or too
obstinate or too proud to take!

Come and See Me-

Awriter SAYS: "Ncver take "Come
and see me-" ms a phrase meant in
earnest unless it be accompanied with
a date. Such an invitation amounts
to nothing at all. If a lady or gen.
tlcman desires your company he or she
will appoint a time for your visit.
"Call on me when you can make it
convenient drop in as you are
passing" Make us visit whenever
YOU have an hour or two to spare"
are social antiquities by which men
and women of the world understand
that they are not expected to do the
thing requested. When people wish
to be cheaply polite there is nothing
like this kind of vagueness. The COM
plimentary, small change of society
must always be taken at large dis
count. 1t is never worth its face or
anything like it. Yet it is a conve-
nient medium of exchange, and heavy
debts of gratitude that ought to be
SECUTED in better coin are often paid
with it. People who have more polish
than principle use it lavishly-plain,
blunt, honest men, sparingly or not at
all. Whoever makes friendly visit
to fashionable house ON the strength
of mere "Come and see me- will
very often find that the family circle
he has dropped into by request is as
ungcnial ms the Arctic circle, and he
will probably leave it with a chilly
feeling that will prevent him from
venturing into the same high latitude
again. But when whole-souled man,
whom you know to be your friend,
grasps you vigorously by the hand and
saws, "Come and dine with me to-day
dinner on the table at 5 o'clock--be
sure to come-we shall expect YOU,
YOU can take it as certain that your
presence is warmly desired. 1t il
pleasant always to make or receive a
visit from a friend, but nod on
the street is all sufficient from a
fashionable acquaintance.

The New York Times is discussing the
mosquito, and is giving evidence in the
discussion that it is well posted on the
subject. In one of its articles it gives the
following information. which will.

mosquito afflicted readers:

therefore If a mosquito has begun his

HON. JEFFERSON DAVIS IN Mis-.
AOCRI

The conduct OF the bigoted people OF
WinnebagO county, in this State, la.
given to Mr.. Davis renewed prominence
In the country, and has created feeling
Of resentment among the liberal-minded
people that is finding expression in Sig
niicant public demonstrations IN honor
Of the leader OF the late southern Con-
federacy. lie Is now III Missouri, and at
almost every stanon on the railroads over
which he passes, he receives Ovations.
Public dignitaries, the old and the young,
men snd women, white and black, with
music bands and speeches. meet
and pay to him the respect
Of communities. These demon
STATIONS cannot be construed into admi-
ration Of the political doctrines he once
represented; they cannot be taken as an
indication that the public sentiment of
Missouri is drifting towards thoughts OF
rebellion, and by no possibility can they
be construed into anti Unionism. They
are rather demonstrations of real Union
Ism, the expression Of that sentiment
which desires that the past relations OF
the people Of the North and South shall
be forgotten, SO that the States may
again be united in fraternal Union,
with no seeds Of bitterness in the politi-
cal soil to grow up into rank weeds of
sectional hatred and discomfort. Winnie
bagoism would keep the North and
South apart forever; the spirit manifested
by the people OF Missouri in their treat
ment of Mr.. Davis, if it could be made
topervade the whole country, would soon
wipe out the scars Of the civil war and
make bretheren Of the people Of all the
sections Of the Republic.
