Botkin's Raid.

Col. w. w. Botkin created consid-
erable of a sensation yesterday by his
appearance in the city with an order
from the u. 8. Court at Deer Lodge
for a special venire of fifty jurors for
the trial of the Sweetland mail rob-
bers. On Friday last Col. Botkin
was called upon fot a venire of thirty
Jurors, which he succeeded in filing
in Deer Lodge, but it seemed evident
that eligible men were exhausted in
the Valley town, and when the order
for fifty additional jurors came, his
only resource was the big end of the
Second Judicial District. The follow
ing citizens were summoned and
leave for Deer Lodge this morning to
act as planks in the 'bulwark of
American liberty" in the Deer
Lodge court:

One Of the prominent questions be-
fore the State Farmers Association,
which met at Nashville few weeks
ago, was the mo fence law" That
there is an urgent call upon the own
ers Of land to take some steps in regard
to fencing, there is no mistake. Much
Of the profits Of the farm are annually
consumed in repairing and building
fences. A mile of fencing made Of
new cedar rails will cost 1890. This
rs calculating ten raii fence, rails OF
81 cents each, but allowing nothing
tor putting up, supposing the farmer
may do this at times when he can do
nothing else. So in round figures a
good rail fence Of cedar will not cost
less than $500 per mile, including all
work, and perhaps more. A mfle Of
fencing will inolose quite small area.
When this cost is applied to thousands
Of miles Of ieBoing as seen in Wilson
county, how enormous it becomes.
An accurate calculation would reach
a sum almost incredible to the farm
ing community. Then ought not
some steps to be taken to avoid this
great outlay, for which there is no res
turn. II the farmer must enclose his
premises let him obtain cheaper
mode OF doing 80 than by rail or
plank.

New Orleans tLa.) Picayune, Sept. %.
Around the table in the private
office OF the Louisiana State Lottery
Company, on Wednesday morning, sat
Mr.. Martin Croker, a merchant OF
Morgan City, Mr., Charles Livingston,
a genteel looking colored man, also a
storekeeper, and reporter. Before
them lay one fifth OF the ticket No.
69.5l9, which drew the capital prize of
N5,OOO in the September monthly
drawing. Mr., Croker held a power Of
attorney given him by Mrs. Martha
Livingston, who is the holder of the
ticket, the value OF which was multi.
piled fifteen thousand times by turn
OF the big wheel in the drawing room
at the lottery office.
Mr.. Livingston, already mentioned,
is Martha's husband.
How did she come to buy the
ticketY asked the reporter.
Il started buying tickets aud she
started to. We used to play in the
lottery before we went to Morgan
yity, but neglected to do so there
Before the August drawing | bought
a ticket and told her about it She
bought one, too, and won twenty dol
lars. This month | bought another
ticket, and again told her, She gave
q young colored man named Alex
Oliver three dollars, and he brought
her three one. fifth tickets OF different
numbers. The piece you see there,
which cost here a dollar, gives her a
share OF the $4,000 prize"
What is she going to do with her
money!"
"Ohl she's made up her mind about
that. To be sure she'll keep it; she
told us to invest in United States four
per cent bonds, and that's what WEI
do with it."
Martha Livingston was Martha
Green before Charles Livingston mar
rled her in New Orleans ten years ago.
They didn't have much money, but
they we're determined to get along, and
so they went to Morgan City. There
Mr.. Livingston commenced dealing in
moss on a small scale, gradually in
creased bis business, and finally, about
two or three years ago, opened q
