ED. WATSON made gallant fight
and if not elected is defeated only by
few votes. In district which has
heretofore.giyen majority of 200 or
1900 it is certainly very creditable to
Mr.. Watson even ifnot elected and he
should not regret his candidacy. The
people are the losers as they fail to
secure the services of an able, efficient
and straight forward man in Lcgssla-
ture.

At a Western Agricultural show the orator
of the day spoke as follows There is an
industry, my friends, that seems to be en-
tirely monopolzcd by one or two counties in
the southern part of the State, in which
more money can be made, according to the
investment, than in any other species of
agricultural. ] allude to the raising OF
wolves, in orderto sell the scalps to the State.
You devote good deal of time and labor to
the raising of sheep and what do you get
for it. The best sheep cannot lay more than
eight pounds of wool in II season, and, even
if you get so cents pcrpound for t,you have
not got any great bonanza. Now, the State
encourages the raising of wolves by offering
a bounty of $40 for n piece of skin off the
head of each wolf 1t does not cost any
more to raise q wolf than it does to raise a
sheep, and, while sheep rarely raise more
than two lambs a year,a pair Of good wolves
are liable to raise twenty young ones in the
course of year, if it is q good year for
wolves. In addition to the encouragement
offered by the State, many connties give as
much more, 50 that one wolf scalp will bring
more money than five sheep. You will
readily see that our wise legislators are offer
ing inducements to you that you should be
thankful for. You can establish a wolf
orchard on any farm, and, with a pair of
good wolves to start on, there is millions in

awkward people never know what to
do with their hands. One of the most COM
mon signs of the want of breeding is a
sort of uncomfortable consciousness of the
hands, an obvious ignorance Of what to do
with them, and painful awkwardness in
their adjustment, The hands ofa gentleman
seem perfectly at home without being oc-
cupied: or, if they move, it is spontaneously
and gracefully. The courtiers ofolden times
made playing with their sword-hit an ac-
complishment, and the most efficient weaP-
