Men Killed.


In the annals OF deadly ARRAYS In this
Stnte we know Of no occurrence so fatal in its
results rs that which occurred on board the
steamer Sunfiower. while lying nj Johnsonville,
the county seat OF Sunfower County
About ten days ago Col d. A. Holman. while
in Johnsonville. on entering DR.. W. L. Lowry g

or something 70 that effect Holman departed,
saying In substance he would see Lowry again.
On tho morning OF the affair Col. Holman en-
gagged passage on the steamer Sunnowcr for
Vicksburg accompanied by his father in law.

but In short time returned.
Perhaps half hour later DR.. Lowry. rs was
usual with him, came on tho boat TO transact
his business. and while entering the cabin was

Agricultural Fairs.

The county fair has been called the far
mcr's holiday, and il ought to be such.
The hard-working tiller Of the soil needs
some relaxation, just as much as does the
minister or merchant BY the labors Of
the summer he has earned vacation. and
the two or three days spent at the fair
furnish just the relaxation he needs.
Here he meets his brother farmers with
their sisters, their cousins and their aunts,
and has good social time.
Many refrain from exhibiting because
they think they have nothing worthy Of
premium, but premiums are not the
great object Of fair These are all right
enough, and are legitimate object Of am
bitiou, but if nothing else were obtained
by the exhibitor, he would generally pay
dear for his whistle. The premium sell
dom pays for the labor aud expense Of ex :
hibiting, but the knowledge acquired in
the careful examination and comparison
Of the different herds, products aud imple
ments exhibited, does pay, and TO make
the means Of acquiring this knowledge as
extensive as possible, It is the bounden
duty OF every one to show whatever he
has worthy Of notice Securing a pre-.
MUM is a selfish consideration. Securing
a good exhibition, one deserving attend
ance and careful study, is public bene
faction. Many fairs are run without pre-.
miums Committees are appointed to ex.
anime and pronounce upon the merits Of
the stock, &c, exhibited, and the honor
and advertisement of the announcement
added to the knowledge given and re.
ceived, are considered sufficient reward
for exhibiting. Let the coming fairs at
test that farmers are alive to their own 10
terests, and jealous for the advancement
Of their calling - Country Gentlemen.

Everyone's Dark Side, or Conscience.

Written for the Democratic Advocate
by srEScER.
There is no one, be they ever 40 lowly,
Or high In the annals Of fame.
That has not, at some time or other,
dark side attached " his name.
The bosom Of secrets reveals II,
Concealed deep down IN the breast;
But, like roaring tiger, that feeling
Is never at rest
In some slentmoment, when earth Is all huslled,
And the curtain Of night falls around you,
The bosom viii beave, its grief to relieve,
When the dark side Of life has found you.
Silent like motor, II comes from the breast
To move the heart Of its maker.
Like watery grave and the roll Of the wave
II rises and falls In commotion,
Till II losses tho brain, Remembrance dark stain
In the depths Of oul.teiling ocean.
That ocean is deep, its waters do roll
The tide Is an ebb and flow;
4 The sorrow that Is there
No other can wear
It brides its own heart OF woe
In love or ambition, sport or faIne.
Though glttering your honor may be-
When the dark side ofllfe
It's phantom reveals,
Then all In a moment will fee

Mexican Horses.


Horses are bred in great numbers az the
different haciendas 10 the provinces, some
Of the largest estates having eighty or a
hundred thousand cattle aud fifteen or
twenty thousand mules and horses. The
pasturage is green all the year round. and
the animols receive no other food. They
multiply as the birds do, and with as little
profit TO their owners. Generally speak
ing, they run wild until wanted, when they
are caught with lasso, hoodwinked, aud
immediately mounted. For the first fif-
teen or twenty minutes they exert their
whole strength to throw their rider, but
finding their efforts unavailing, patiently
submit, and generally give but little trou-
bic afterward. Owing TO their immense
numbers, horses are sold very CHEAP, tho
average price for an unbroken herd being
eight or ten dollars a head, with but little
demand at that Il sometimes occurs that
the government purchases few hundred
for the army, but, generally speaking
there are very few occasions when they
can be sold. Mexican horses, as rule,
are not handsome, and are seldom more
than IA hands high; still, they have moth
ing Of the peculiar build Of the pony about
them. Fed entirely upon grass, they yet
endure more fatigue aud are capable Of
maintaining rapid gait for longer time
than the granted horses Of other lands
In the towns and cities they receive the
scantiest Of care and the meagerest allow
ance Of food. Tied up the whole day ia
the sitting court-yards, they stand patient
y awaiting their evening meal Frequent
y they are turned loose together, when ii
requires the use Of lasso to catch them.
So familiar with this instrument do they
become that the moment the animal feels
the rope about its neck itsiands stock still,
when without it il would not suffer itself
to be saddled or bridled Correspondence

How Shall Sunday BE Used7

Simply as q day ,of rest 81 neets q most
imperative want. OutA AefieAn life is ht
best too hurried and 'fo9crish, Wo waste
our strength in over exertion. Wo burn
tho osoandleat both ends and in tho middle,
aud reap our reSard in such harvest OF
nervous disorders as perhaps were never
known elsewhere. From the too cuger
strain and stress Of tho week Sunday offers
Ia blessed relief. It's rest is incomplete
unless the wontcd current of ideas, MS we'll
as occupations, is interrupted, A first and
obvious principle, therefore,. is to get away
from tho habitual activities of tho other
six days, however good they may be in
should Us u general thing not teach on Sun.
day, but should let tho mind relax wholly
from the attitude of instruction. So, a
man who works his brain ali tho week cau
rarely afford to listen on Sunday to. a ser.
mon which kecnly stimulates thought,
though q service Of beautiful and hearty
worship may rest and refresh him. TO say
that no general rules can be laid down in
such matters is obvious; the harder and
moro important thing is for each one to
recognize that for!hm there. is good rulo
attainablo, dependent on his character and
circumstances, and that it is his busin ess
first to 6nd it cut and thon be faithful to
| it. r.
Most people are very willing to take
Sunday as day of rest, and resent any
cncroachmcnt on their own rest. But the
day has brighter function. 1t ought to
give moral guidance and impulse to, the
week. 1t is the time to take large aud
calu, view of ones liic, to see what its real
! objects are; what arc its temper aud spirit
| Much of the time We are so absorbed in
the details of living that We forgot to ask
whittier it is oil tending. The fault of
most lives is not that they are consciously
directed to bad or low ends, but they have
no distinct end in view; they are merely
drifting. We do thing to day bcc,usc
We did it yesterday. We earn our bread
because otherwise We should 90 hungry or
starve We live from hand 10 mouth
Now, it is good that we should often stop a
little while-onoc in scvou days is seldom
cnough-and ask ourselves, "What real
gain am making. Am ! growing in
true worth, in manlood, in sincerity, in
sweetness Of temper? Am getting the bet
