 A gentleman who is familiar with the indus 1 try, and who has imported the goats direct from Asia Minor, has agreed to place on the rancho the best breed of the animals at cost of not over one hundred and seventy five dol lars the head while he also guarantees the
 native Mexican goats for use in grading up

''Not content with rushing from platform to chancel rail, says the Bnffalo Courier, in an account of his conduct, The took possession of the aisles, and went so far as to climb upon the seats, or half way up the pulpit desk, stretching out his tall, thin body to it's utmost height, and swinging his arms. With coat sleeves pullsd half way up to the elbows, he passed among the audience, making passes before their eyes now prostrate in the aisles now tow ering up from pew back, with hands beating one another, or stretched to heaven, or pointing to some startled and uneffending spectator, or rapidly flirting the leaves of the Bible back ward and forward; now uttering some stage whisper to the unrepentant sinner; then sud- denly, without warning, shrieking out dis iointed sentence of thanksgiving or prayer :; immediately afterward, perhaps, getting of a | joke of the most questionable taste."

 Ono portion of the manly and truly patriotic speech made by Secretary Sherman in Mans field, Ohio, night before last should be read | and pondered by every voter. It is the fol- lowing:
 The Republican party is the party of prin- ciple and the Democratic party is the party of opposition. The Republican party wins only | upon it's bold leadership on questions of public policy.
