Opening and Closing Meeting.
New Milford Conn J Ray

New MILFORD Conn Ray.
A few years ago there lived on the line
of the Housatonic Road in Massachusetts,
a little boy who was only five or six
years of age, but who was a natural
preacher. So much talent in that di-
rection did he possess, that his friends
often put him on table and listened to
his discourses. One day he was preach
ing" with great power, becoming un-
usually animated, and swinging his little
arms in the manner of older ones, when
something about the platform on which
he stood gave way, and down to the floor
the little fellow went, head first. He
was considerably hurt, but, controlling
himself for moment, he arose and re-
suming his place, with great gravity, he
said: "People-meetin's out"-and then,
able to control himself no longer, he let
forth the foods of his anguish until the
whole neighborhood could hear his child
ish cry
Uncle David Wooster, of Union City,
having been permanently lamed when
he was comparatively young man, had
not been able to mix very much with
society. He would, however, manage to
get out to a political or school district
meeting occasionally. One evening he
was attending one of the latter gather
ings when some one present moved that
Uncle David should open the meeting.
The old gentleman hardly knew what it
was necessary to do in order to open the
meeting, 50 he hesitatcd. His hesitation
being taken for difiidence, there was a
very general demand that he should per-
form the task Thinking that it would
be impolite to decline such general de-
mand, he hobblcd up to the desk, put
down his cane very deliberately put on
his glasses, ahemed few times to gain
time, while all the time he was trying to
think how the thing should be done, and
finally, as though the thought had come
suddenly to him, he raised his head,
looked at the audience, and in a bold
tone said "Meetin'! Come open!"

The Cattle Drive for 1879.


Several prominent stock-raisers and
drovers have been in the city the past
week or ten days, and they almost unani-
mously unite on an estimate of 1861 to
200, 600 head as the number of this years
cattle-drive from Texas. The first num-
Der is considered low, and the last the
greatest that can be expected. The
greater proportion of the drive will be
yearliDgs and two-year olds. Prices are
considered high, but holders are firm.
The demand for cattle is very great, but
the transactions have been rather light
Of late, many who came here to buy pre-
ferring to wait for better rates, or, failing
in that, to take their chances after the
cattle reach the North. The margin in
the cattle-driving business is now consid-
cred so close that buyers hesitate before
they sign contract. Profits are esti-
mated by cents almost, where they were
formerly calculated by dollars. Cattle in
Western Texas are scarce, and, with the
little profit now made, there are many
advocates of stopping the drive entirely
for few years, in order to re-stock the
country and thereby reduce the supply
and consequently increase the demand II
the North. This plan would, no doubt
be the money-making one if our stock
raisers could afford to wait; but the eager
ness to drive every hoof that can find {
market will keep the supply in Kansa:
so great that the prices necessary to make
the business here self-sustaining will re
main too high to make it safe for specu
lators to drive.

The alligator season begins to open,
and these ugly monsters may be seen
stretched out on the wharves dead and
alive. Every man that is fortunate
enough to kill good-sized alligator puts
it down in his memoranda, and feels as
proud of it as a Bengalee who makes
conquest over royal tiger. But these
saurians have become more wary and
watchful, and the sound of the steam
whistle, the noise of the paddle-wheel or
the dip of the oar is to them a signal of
danger, so that the first approach of an
enemy causes them to disappear. TO Sc
cure large alligator now requires an
expert who knows their habits. There is
Il great waste of powder and ball by in
experienced parties who go hunting and
find nothing.
