The State Agricultural Fair.

We see that arrangements are made to hold
the next Annual Fair of the State Agricultural
Society in the city of Columbia, beginning on
Tuesday, 9th of November next, and continu
ing throughout the week. The Directors have
decided to offer no awards for horse racing, as
there appears to be sentiment among inAu-
entail patrons of these annual exhibitions op
posed to trials of speed as repugnant to their
ideas of propriety, and the managers are desi-
rous of reconciling all the elements of success,
in order to make the State Fair worthy rep
resentative of the industrial progress of the
commonwealth. This Difference to public SEN
timent should ensure fresh interest among the
farmers and planters, so many of whom object
ed most strenuously to the prominence given
to horse racing at the State Fairs heretofore
Let an earnest and hearty cooperation be
awakened throughout the State, which will
result in triumphant vindication of the poll
cy now adopted, and bring permanent success
to the State Agricultural Society.

1t seems that Mr.. James Stewart an aged and
highly respectable citizen of this County, liv-

suffering for long time from pains in the foot

convey the blood back through the proper
channels. The foot became very hard, and
last week dropped off at the ankle, leaving the

inches. It is thought that the leg will now
have to be amputated at or above the knee in
order to save his life. This might have been
obviated if taken in time, but Mr.. Stewart
would not permit the foot to be amputated.

The Common Lot.

/" There is no flock, however watched and
tended,
But one dead lamb is there
There is no fireside, howsoe'er defended,
But has one vacant chair J!
The hour of bereavement is the COM
mon lot of us all; and we come back
from the new-made grave when we have
laid our loved ones to sleep, come back
to the vacant chair, the desolate room,
the empty ife-oh, how empty! Yet
not for all this do the cares and duties
of life press on us with any less weight
or diminish aught of their demands.
Wisely is it thus ordered. To sit down
and nurse our grief, to give full rein to
the indulgence of sorrow and tears, is
the worst possible thing for us and for
those around us. If grief opens our
hearts to feel the woes of others, inclines
us to forget self and selfish sorrow in
binding up other bruised and bleeding
hearts, leads us to double our diligence,
that before we too are summoned away,
the whole work given us to do shall be
done and well done; it will be possible
in some near future for us to say from
the heart: cit is good for me that 1
have been afflicted"
Bitter as is the cup of bereavement,
says the Tribune, cruel as are the pangs
of separation at the jaws of the sepulcher,
lasting as is the sense of loss, yet, from
these all good may be evolved, for only
those who have had this baptism know
how to feel for others woes, to speak
words of consolation and to keep silence
when no words can be of any avail.
Death runs his plowshnre through our
household tearing up the sod, cutting off
at the root roses and violets, and the
tender blossoms whose fragrance cheered
our lives wither and perish, but-by-and
bye richer harvest justifies the ways of
God; and, as little by little, our affec-
tions are transferred from this to another
world and the fruits of patience and
hope and resignation ripen above the
sod thus rudely up-torn, we begin dimly
to perceive that "whom God loveth He
chasteneth.

er also is thus caught; may see the ears
dropping from the stocks before he has
time to quit the field. You may retire
at night the possessor of many broad
acres OF growing crops, and within
twenty-four hours have nothing left.
But wheat and other matured grains
may be harvested and saved. But if left
in the field they will cut the grain from
the head, and destroy in whole or part
even these, so that the only way to save
it is to house or stack at once. The new
'com~es are, therefore, not so destructive
as the brood from their eggs, for many
reasons which will appear. The young
brood exceeds the parents by many hun
dreds, perhaps thousands. To form an
estimate of the descending cloud is sim
ply as impossible as to calculate the
snowfiakes of n snow storm. How, then,
shall we estimate this unknown quantity
multiplied by thousands The warm
sun in the spring vitalizes the eggs first
on the highest and dryest deposits, then
on the less favored places, until the
whole are vitalized. AS soon as they ap-
pear on the surface they commence to
move south, consuming all tender vege-
tation as they progress, and in the case
OF small grain leaving the ground as bare
as before it was sown. Onions, peppers,
and rhubarb are among their favorites,
and even the wild parsnip-poison to
other animal life-is stripped to the
naked stalk.
Beast, birds, fishes, make no impress
sion on the quantity. All eat till they
are surfeited, and still they are undimin-
ished. The idea that domestic fowls or
Wild oirds of any or all kinds can in any
degree mitigate their ravages is simply
preposterous
Their time, and in fall and spring it is
about the same, is from two to three
months. The young have no wings, and
depend Oh their legs for locomotiou.
They are therefore compelled to remain
until maturod, aud continue to eat until
full-fedged, when they quit and rise as
suddenly as their ancestors came.
No parasite, as some have supposed,
preys upon them fatally. Occasionally
n dead carcass may be found with grub,
but this is most likely to be the progeny
of the blue fly, but their after-death.
OF these there are so few as to mike only
a rare occupation. The immigrants do
not perish until they have deposited
their eggs; SO that the parasites are of
little value. The young brood remain
until completely grown, and rise and
leave suddenly, and not by degrees, as
would be the case if destroyed bya para
site. They are all gone at once. No
dead are left upon the field. From the
time of leaving their original breeding
grounds until they disappear altogether
they seem to make but one stop. After
this, or in their second flight, they are
lost altogether. The most plausible
solution is that they are finally swept
into the ocean. They seldom, if ever.
alight south of Kansas or Colorado,
And if they do, it is exceptional.

A Singular Prediction.

There was strange prediction made
in Connecticut in the last century. An
astronomer who was employed to make
the calculations for an almanac was also
in the habit of writing the weather
prophecies, without which no almanac
was then regarded as being complete.
Once, by mistake, taking the 81 une "
ary," he wrote "expect snow about this
time,' and the almanac appeared with
that prediction for the early part OF
June. But the climate of "New Eng
land and the Middle States" was not to
be beaten by an almanac maker, and
about that time, sure enough, snow did
come, to the great glorification of the
astronomer, and the great profit, there
after, of his employer.
