WASHINGTON, December 29.-The pfinci-
pal event of importance during the week
was the meeting of the Washington County
Stock Breeders Association. Five inter-
esting sessions were held on Thursday and
Friday, ending with banquet at the Fu!-
ton House last night. Carefully prepared
addresses were delivered by prominent
speakers from home and abroad, and the
procet dings were very interesting to any
one engaged in agriculture or stock raising.
The music, furnished by the Stephenson
Bros. and the Brown Bros, OF Cannons-
burg, formed one Of the pleasant features
OF the institute. We noticed only one dis
agreeable incident, and that was the dig
courtesy shown to several OF the last speak
ers on the programme, by those members
who left at the beginning and during the
Continuance OF Their Addresses.
Several of the hast and best speakers were
left with a very threadbare audience.
These gentlemen cannot be expected to
favor the association again. We suggest
that Mr.. A. NJ Cow be invited 10 make the
opening address at the next meeting and
that he select as his subject thoroughbred
POliteness.'
The happiest event of the week was the
marrisge of Mr.. George +. Walker and Miss
Ollie B. Fulton. Both are well known aud
highly esteemed in our elite society circles,
and the best wishes OF hosts OF friends for
their happiness will accompany them
through lie.
