Sad News.

It is rumored that Mrs. Matthews, wife
1T widow of the unfortunate man who was
killed here on the 22d ult., is dead. Her
life has been despaired of since the great
shock she experienced in the death Of her
husband. Many hearts will feel sad to
learn of this double misfortune in the
Matthews family. From . letter received
here from Miss Matthews, of GAINESVILLE, o..
skiing the particulars of her brothers
death, we infer they are all heart-broken
in consequence of George Matthers un-
timely end.

Mr.. 8. 8. Cox hit the nail on the
head, when he stated, in the con.
clusiOn of his speech delivered at
st. Louis yesterday, that the Demo
cratic party has no common con-
test in meeting the ticket of Hayes
and Wheeler.
His appeal to the s'good Lord and
common sense" (strangers in the
Democratic household) to name
leaders for the disorganized Democ-
racy will nothing avail. Hayes will
be our next President, and Wheeler
will preside, after the 4th of next
March over the United States Sem
ate.-Jackson Times.
We shall see. We hope Captain
Lake has made mistake in his
calculations. Tilden is to be ocr
next President. No other man can
satisfy the longing of the Soushei n
heart as can the great reformer,
Samuel j. Tilden. Let Tilden and
Reform be our watchward.

In answer to a cor~respondendent inquir-
ing at what age it is best to breed sows, the
Lire Stoch Journal says: There are a num-
Der OF breeders who have young pigs in sow
at from five to six months, old, but we do
not think 1t best to breed sows so young, as
it impairs their longevity, size and procrea-
tive faculties. We consider the best age to
have young sows take the boar is between
SIX and eight months, the time being de
pendent on the size and development Of the
animal you wish to breed. The first year
let her have but one litter, which should
come in about the time she is a year old, and
out one litter the second year; and after
that you can breed'her twice a year with the
assurance of getting, good, sound young
porkers. The older a sow is, other THINGS
in good keeping, the better filters she will
have. So it will be the care OF the breeder
TO FULLY develop the milking qualities the
1lrst two years. Care should be taken not
TO breed the young animals tola very heavy
awkward boar, for we have seen MANY fine
and promising young sows permanently
broken down in that way. If you have sew
eral sows to breed, buy q young boar of
proper proportions.

year old that will not weigh over eighty
pounds each, and that are not ten pounds
heavier than they were in December. If Of
