None saw him but to love him,
None knew him but to praise.

Did he not have any faultsP Perhaps
he did. Perhaps the habit of riding on
the cars without paying his fare was an
indlscretion. At any rate it carried him
Off and has not brought him back. Mon
day, with his usual devotion to science
and art, he followed Holmes the artist on
board the cars, and doubtless would have
followed him to Bangor, but they but him
out the cars at Augusta. Sympathizing
friends tried to induce him to 90 on board
the dummy and come back, but he would
not ride in any but regular trains.
Tuesday we went to Augusta in search
of the wanderer The depot men had
seen him, and said they tried by all sorts
of winning ways to catch him, but he
evaded them. Said they chased him as
much as mile, and tried the blandish-
ments of a tishnet, in vain. The last they
saw of him he Wds going up jdH hiH !
What a tale was this for the ears of low
ing father! Going up Jail hill! Poor
Spot you'll not be lonesome, but it would
be better for YOU to be again sleeping in
innocence in on sanctum. Wherever you
go. may loving hands caress you, and
loving ears learn the language you could
so aueatIy speak to us--lor You could al
most talk.
Ii any one finds Spot and will bring or
send him home we will pay an ad ralorem
reward OF ten per cent. for his recovery.
He is all white save one ear and part of
his face, and few spots on his back. He
is lame at times
Probably ere this he knows all the best
eating g-houses, and the most liberal meat
sellers in Augusta. Tor he was not above
associating with any one who was liberal
of good feed. If we never see him again,
we will remember him lovingly till we
and he meet in the hunting grounds of
the Beyond and we believe that his going
away was an error of his head rather
than his heart. Gardner Journal.

THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRI-
CULTURExIN THE SOUTH.

r. We notice that:.many of the north
ern papers are'persistent in their at
tacks upon Gen. LeDuc for the policy
ne is now pursuing. In our opinion
Gen. LeDuc is taking the wisest
steps and those that are most condu-
Give to material prosperity, in stimu-
lating the growing Of foreign pro-
ducts in the south. In the north he
sees a system of agriculture brought
as near perfection as 1t can we'll be,
every thing is thoroughly organized,
and there is nothing new that can be
advanced to give any material aid, in
fact no assistance is wanted. In the
south agriculture is at o low ebb, the
chiefstaples that the inhabitants have
hitherto cultivated have got down so
low in price as to be hardly remun-
erative. They are looking about for
other things to take the place Of these,
and no better time could be chosen to
draw attention to such articles as are
of daily use, and for which we are
paying foreign countries vast sum
of money, many Of which can be
grown by us to advantage. We do
not believe that this country can
compete at present with others,
where labor is so cheap, in the pro-
duction of tea and coffee, but it is Il
great advantage to us to know that
we can produce them, and the time
may come when such knowledge
may be important to our welfare.
There are other things that we
would like to see Gen. LeDuc turn
