A Profitable Little Farm.

The Santa Ana Herald has The follow
ing. which illustrates what can be ac-
complishcd on a small farm in Cali
fornia. ea
Mr.. jeremiah Sanders. who lives on a
farm in the Gospel Swamp settlement,
informs us that last month he sent a
sufficient quantity of eggs to San Fran
cisco to bring him seventy dollars, over
and above all expenses. He clears a
thousand dollars year from his little
farm of thirty acres. This shows what
q man can do in California By attend
ing strictly to the minor matters about
the farm, money is to be made at all
times. and more especially in such a
prolific valley as this, where everything
fiourishes and attains perfection. In
dairying and the raising Of fowls and
pigs, money is to be made at all times.

Webster the Lexicographer.

DR.. Webster was true scion of the
old New England stock. Upon his
mothers side he was descendant of
William Bradford. the Plymouth Gov
erpor. The clever boys of New Eng
land families were then sent to college,
and Noah Webster naturally entered
Yale College in 1774 His studies were
somewhat interrupted by the revolution;
but he succeeded in graduating. After
ward he Taught school and studied law,
being admitted TO the bar in 1871. In
1872 he kept classical school at Goshen,
n. Y, and there compiled two small
elementary books for teaching the Eng
lish language. In 1888 he published
his First Part of Grammatical Insti-
tute of the English Language, followed
in the course of the next two years by
the second and third parts. The. first
part was the basis -efthe spelhng-books
which he afterward published. He had
an idea that Americans should have
school books of their own, and he based
his compilations upon this. He adhered
to this when he published his reader,
and many of the selections are from
American writers and orators. His
books were popular enough tomake him
feel the need of copyright law, and to
secure this by the legislation, of the sew
eral States he studied assiduously, Con-
gress under the confederation having no
power to protect literary property. 1t
did not enact a copyright law until 1870.
The spelling-book, as everybody knows.
was enormously successful In 1847
1000, 600 copies of the book had been
published, the sales averaging 100000
per annum Upon this DR.. Webster re-
ceived copyright premium of five mills
a copy, and it was the profits arising
from this book which. during the twenty
years in which DIR. Webster was engag-
ed upon the american Dictionary
supported him and his family

Local Politics.

Register today and TOMORROW (Oct. 9th
and 2sth,) they are your last days.
Augusta county hasn't been stirred up
so on politics for long time. Even the
ladies are on the qai vive. A few days
since the President of the Staunton Dem
ocratic Club, sent circular letter to a
prominent gentleman of the county on
party matters. The gentleman was ab-
sent, but his wife promptly answered the
letter, saying her husbands heart was in
the work, and he would be at work d.
rectly he got home. The ladies can't vote,
but they ale power in the land when
they take this sort of interest in the cause.
A Stalwart Republican Coalition meet
ing was held at the Court House, Monday,
and addressed by Capt. H. H. Riddleber-
ger. of Shenandoah.

DEATH OF A FORMER PUBLIsHEs.-
Mr.. Gideon Sherry, who in 1873 started
che Times, a daily paper in Stanton, died
in Washington City few days ago. He
founded four journals in the Valley, the
Harrisonburg Commonwealth, which still
lives, the Enterprise Of the same town,
which was burned in the great FIRE of 1870
the Lily Ct the Valleu, in that place
which failed, and the Times, in Staunton
which met the same fate. He was an ex
cellent workman, of untiring industry, and
his many failures in publishing enterprises
never chilled his hopeful spirit nor soured
his genial disposition. He was about for
,ty years of age and leaves a widow and
large family of children.
