New Preston's young ladies begin to leave

Bolles has gone to West End Institute, New
Haven, and Miss Fannie Lennon and Miss
Jennie Lancashire to Maplewood Institute,
Pittsfeld, Mass.
Emerson says in his essay on culture
which we happened to be reading to-day,
'''Let us learn to live coarsely, dress plainly,
and lie hard" Saying nothing of the first and
second proposition, we know New Preston has
no need of advice as to the last. "Lie hard, :"

Miss Elizabeth Greenwood, of Brooklyn,
lectured in the chapel last Sunday evening to
large and appreciative audience on the SUBJ
ject of Temperance. 1t is claimed by some
that the subject is exhausted and that there is
nothing new or interesting to be said on the
subject, but Miss Greenwood advanced many
new and original ideas and gave us facts and
statistics showing how rapidly intemperance
is on the increase in this country and that it
is not confined to men only but that it is be-
coming quite common among women. The
remedy, she claimed, for this great evil, was
not in legislation (for what is law if there is
not public sentiment to enforce it p but that
power was vested in the church and the Cos
pei. Were every christian to do his or her
duty conscientiously there would soon be radi-
cal change. Miss g. has been engaged in her
work for seven years. devoting her whole time
toit. She is power for good wherever she
goes.

bled since the 9Th inst, beneath the
tread of host of Madisonians,
whose interest in the United States
Senatorial contest impelled them
thlther. Whether elected or not,
Col. Singleton may justly be the
Proudest and happiest man in the

fove and devotion exhibited toward
any man as has been shown for him
b. his cnuntymen. 1t is with them
a.,ore than "a political preference-it

ment and veneration, that makes

Sheep Husban dry.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t has been the
purpose of the writer for some time,
to show the importance of sheep
hushandry in the South. aud espec-
tally ih the worn out and hilly por.
ton of Mississippi, where cotton
once was king, but where 1t takes
now four or five aces to make
bale: Hog foolish, how NONSENSE
cal, how suicidal.
Our whole purpose is to show
what other countries are doing
not half so well adapted to sheep
raising as Mississippi.
We find that Great Britain has
one sheep to every two acres Of
land. Germany, France and Spain
have one to each five acres; the
United States one to every So acres.
This latter does not really give a
correct idea. Sheep husbandry is
of more and more Importance i'll
thickly settled countries. The Unit
ed States has yet vast wild and un
settled lands. The New England
States with an area nearly four fitths
as large as that of Great Britain,
have but one sheep to every thirty
acres, and Ohio, one of the largest
sheep producing States, has but one
sheep to eight acres.
The cotton growing States have
but one sheep to each 267 900 acres.
All the hilly regions Of the South,
aud particularly of the Gulf States,

road passes through your counties
daily, past many ofyoar doors. You
could send extra fat mutton North,
whic, always brings good prices.

haIf-starvcd ours, that is fastened
on us by IL class of worthless Amer
lean citizens of African descent
the nations warls-who are
as worthless "a the ours
who follow their midnight prowlings.
The legislature could do something

the body of our enterprisIng sheep
raisers, especially if 1t was legal
to use the shot gun and stryciinine
on ALI and every occasion where
shcaking dog or a creeping cur was

aud sheep. Here VIC do not need
the turnips, only the sheep. The
