A Case orMislaken Identity.

He must have borne a striking re-
semblance to that other fellow-her
long absent husband. Our hero and
his friend were on their way to Sa-
lem, Va. They were both citizens Of
Greenbrier, and were snugly seated
in enc, of-the 1pd!ace-vttrs'of tt1e- G. Il.
o. Railway. The lady bore evidence
of responsibility, and was accompan-
led by three ofIsprings-the oldest
about eight years of age, who espied
in our Greenbrier friend ofhandsome
physique and portly dimensions the
image of his father, whom his moth
er had not seen for six months. The
scene occurred East of the White
Sulphur Springs. The innocent
child directed the mothers attention
to Papa! She recognized the strik-
ing resemblance, and proceeded to re,
new, as she believed, the old acquain.
tanceship. Our hero failed to recog,
nizc. She was certain of his identi-
ty, and became excited-angry. Our
friend expostulated but to no pur-
pose. She attempted to force a rec
ognition, aud our unfortunate friend
was in very interesting and per-
picking dilemma. His friend and
travelling companion attempted to
explain to her that she had tackled
the wrong man, but he lost the but
tons from his coat for his pains, and
his eyes here assumed the proper
tions of full moons. The woman
would not be comforted and the chill
dren cried. The scene was growing
in interest. The passengers sympa-
thized with the wronged and desert
cd wife and cast angry countenances
towards our innocent hero. Fancy
his feelings! Conductor Anderson
assured her in the most earnest man
ner that she was after the wrong man
that he knew our hero, but she
was inexhorable-she knew better.
In his great trouble, the Conductor
kindly relieved our friend from his
embarrassing position by finding a
secluded apartment for him in an
other part of the trainl The female
was taken from the train at Staun-
ton, with her mind bordering on in.

taken identity! The scene closes

iHard Tinnesy,

These words have become com
mon,place. Everybody has some
thing to say about "Hard Times. =
The expression falls upon the ear in
all the walks, avenues and relations
of life. 1t is stereotyped. 1t is
heard at the merchants desk, in the
lawyers Office, by the farmers FIRE
side, at the mechanics bench, in the
ministers study, in the editors sane
tum, on the streets, in the fields, in
the air-eVerywhere the same mourn
full vail lis heard-"Hard Times!"
The cry is an evil. 1t falls like a
blight upon the spirits of the people
and it hangs like pail upon the in
dustries aud progress of the country.
1t is mighty incubus-a night
mare. tits baneful in its effects
poisonous in its results. 1t paralizes
the strong arm, letters the will and
chokes the life-blood of the people
1t Families all the branches of bust
ness and Of trade, and its hold upon
the tEfoatyot the nation tall 10 relent
from its fxedness. 1t is memorable
in its death grip-ruthless sand relent-
less in its power. 1t is a verity-a
living, remorseless reality, and the
cry wells up in tears-"who shall dc.
liver us from the body of death?"-
There surely ought to be remedy
for the evil. Were it confined to
sections, its existence would not be
so inexplicable and its results so dis
astrous. But the disease is general
and widespread. Its ravages are not
circumscribed by any pent up Utica.
1t claims and holds within its iron
grasp whole continents for its prey
and its victims. Blessed will be the
hour when the bottom of "Hard
Tines is reached, and, thrice bless

in his appearing, when he shall
truthfully prophecy-"Hard Times"

Conflict Of Opinion on School
Laws.

State Superintendent of Schools,
Mr.. Pendleton, has instructed the
County Superintendent of Summers
County, that the State School Fund
for one year cannot be reserved to
run schools for another year. If it
is not used during the year, it should
be recovered into State Treasury to
go into the general fund for distribu.
ton next year. Also, that the sher.
if has no right to use the levy laid
for running the schools this year to
pay off the old or back debts.
These instructions come in con.
flict with a late decision of Judge
Holt in Summers county, where the
sheriff had failed to pay drafts issued
by the Board of Education, and the
Court issued u peremptory order di.
recting the Boards to provide for the
payment of these drafts for last
years liabilities out of the levy made
for this years schools. The people
of Summers are, therefore, asking
"what are we going to do about it?''

Agriculture.

Senator Davis, of this State, sub
mitted the following Resolution tc
the Senate on the 4th inst:
WHEREAS agriculture is the foun,
dation of nearly all our wealth, and
it is mainly through the expectation
of its products that we are paying of
our large Indebtedness, foreign and
domestic, and have the present large
balance of trade in our favor; and
whereas, although about one-half Of
the people of this country are engag.
ed in agricultural pursuits, and all
other interests are dependent upon
this our leading and most important
interest, commercial and otherwise,
yet but little has been done by the
general government to promote agri.
culture, while other less general and
important interests have been largely
aided: Therefore,
ReSotued By the Senate (thc House o.
Representatives concmring), That the
Committees on Agriculture OF the re-
spective houses be, and they are here
by, instructed to consider generally
the subject of agriculture, and report
by bill or otherwise, what can OF
ought to be done by the general gov,
eminent to better advance, encour,
