The KILLDEE FARM.-The farm
near Woodstock, known as ''Killdee,"
from its worn out land and generally
poor appearance, has by its yield of
wheat this season, caused some Of our
brag farmers, who poke fun at "Kill-
dee," to blush with shame and acknowl-
edge that there is some little merit III
book-farming when properly done.
Killdee. after being sold and abandon
ed by the purchaser, was bought sever
al years ago by one Of our town farmers.
The land Of course, was very thin and
many joke was raised at the expense
ofthe party who tried to farm ''killdee. I"
He, however, was not discouraged, but
relied upon the best authorities upon
the constituents of the soil, fertilizers,
&C.. and secured as his right hand man
one ofLge Whites scouts whose shrewd-
ness and tact during the war forced even
Union soldiers and their sympathisers
to aid him in escaping Federal prisons,
and with lime, manure, ammonia, &c.
began the work ofrenovating the waste
places. The farm is quite small, but in
addition to a large crop of hay, and
other good crops now on the place. it
has just yielded 625 bushels Of first
quality wheat, weighing 64tos. to the
bushel. 1t is unnecessary to mention
the name of the proprietor, for pecu
liarly pleasing smile has encircled his
mouth ever since he received the state
ment Of the crop and he can be re-
cognized at glance.

The servivors of the old SD Va. regi
snent are highly pleased by the honor
bestowed upon one Of their number.
This regiment, it viii be remembered,
was originally composed as follows:
One company from Rockingham,
commanded by Capt. J. R. Jones five
companies from Shenandoah comman-
ded by Capts. Marion Sibert, Geo. W.
Allen, Jno. Gatewood. D. H. Walton
and E. Crabill !; one from Hardy COM
manded by Capt. Spengler f; one from
Hampshire commanded by Capt. Trace
and one from Frederick. commanded by
Capt. F. w. NJ. Holiday. So long a
Col. Holiday served with the regi-
ment, either as Captain or e olonels h
was highly esteemed and beloved by
all who knew him. 1t will afford these
old veterans peculiar pleasure to march
to the polls and deposit vote for one
who was so highly esteemed as an Off
Ger and a friend. Shenandoah has her
first choice and will give evidence Of
her appreciation Of it, by giving to Col.
Holiday more than liberal vote.

GONE TO THE CONvENTIoN.-When
Mr.. Samuel Tidball got his notice that
he had been duly chosen and elected in
public meeting assembled as an alter
nate to represent the county Of Augusta
or moiety thereof, in the Convention
at Richmond, he could hardly make out
the Secretary's hand writing. There
appeared to be something radically
wrong about it.
"How can man act as an alternative
Maria ?" he asked the estimable woman
who reposes on his bossm.
Good gracious, Mr.. Tidball, how
should 1 know ?" with just enough acid
in her voice to make it doubtful whether
Tidball had asked her question, or the
maid had come in to inquire if she knew
where the broom was.
Cor Alternative, Maria. Is there such
a thing as man being an Alternative in
politics ?"
"I'm sure I don't know anything
about politics, Mr.. Tidball. You never
tell me anything about them," said Mrs
T., though this was little unfair, see
ing that nothing is harder than for
man to tell what he doesn't know him.
self.
Tuesday morning Tiaball knew all
about it. and the whole house was busy
packing him up for Richmond. He was
an alternate for the Convention, and
was to wear green badge when he got
there. The impression on his wjfe's
mind was, that the whole question Of
the State debt, the whiskey tax, the
public schools and the public morals
was resting on his shoulders. The chill
dren took up the impression, that their
respected father was going to city ma
ny thousands of miles away to stop the
Turco-Russian war, or something like
it. Tidball left packages of envelopes
already stamped and directed to 'Saml.
Tidball, Esq, Alternate to the State

Va" telling his wife that 1t was i'm
possible to tell when I'VE will get
through" but probably there would be
envelopes enough. AS Mrs. T drove
back from the cars, she spoke to the
people along the road with the air Of
condescension of one whose husband is
in public life, mingled with the subdued
look of one who has been bereaved for
the public welfare. Some people think
there is nothing in being an alternate,
but many man by the slightest politi-
cal promotion has gotten under hack a
wife that 40 other means could sabdue.
With women politics are an inscrutable
mystery, before which Masonry and Odd
Fellowship fade into nothing, and no
woman ever hears of her husband being

FISH KILLED.-Below the Farmers
Mill large numbers Of dead fish have
been seen floating upon the water and
lying along the bank. One party. we
are informed, saw as many as one hun
bred. 1t is supposed that some wretch
has been using fish berries, -Cocculus
Indicus. The penalty for poisoning
fish is very severe. We hope the party
may be detected and that he may re-
celye his well merited punis hment.
