The bride is a most estimable young

The Big Show Yesterday.

From the Albany, N. Y. Ledger.
AS predicted by many, our city was
filled with people from the surrounding
country yesterday, to witness the grand
street parade, and also to visit the en-
tertainments given by S. H. Barrett &
Cos circus company. Their fame as
frst-class "sbow" had long preceded
them. The arenic performances we're
far above those usually seen, while the
various feats Of Workmanship have
never been equaled in this city. The
menagerie was very large, containing
many rare animals. In fact the Bar
rett show came fully up to public an
ticipation, and although much was
promised in their bills and advertise
ments we confess with pleasure that no
acts or features were lacking in their
exhibition-everyone was pleased and
delighted, and the universal verdict Of
the people is, that it is the very best
show ever in Albany.
The immense canvass was filled al
both performances, although the
weather was very Indictment, raining
very hard at times. Noticeable among
the audience were State, municipal and
county officials, from the chief execu
tive down. Some estimate the atten.
dance to have been at least 10000.

Sowing Wheat.

Nashville Banner.
-Four farmers met by chance in a
produce house on market street, this
morning, and discussed the various
modes of sowing wheat.
The first said: "Thiry years expe>
rience has taught me that the best way
to plant wheat is to prepare the land
well by blowing and narrowing, and
sow the seed broadcast"
The second said: "The finest crop
of wheat I ever raised in my life was
several years ago. 1 sowed the seed
on unplowed ground, intending to pillow
it in after sowing. Before / got a
chance to pillow any, the wheat came
up, and l just left it alone. Along
about the last of April | discovered that
I had the finest field of wheat in the
whole neighborhood. | have tried
this plan since and have been very sue
cessful."
The third said: ~ always drill my
wheat. l have tried all plans and find
that drilling suits my best. l usually
pillow and drill at the same time"
The fourth said: 81 am very suc-
cessful wheat raiser. 1 have made 9
habit for the past twenty
years of skipping every other year
and sowing on clover land. Now,
last year 1 sowed just enough whea
for my own use. This year l shall
put in sixty acres on clover land, and
/ will make eighteen or twenty bushel
to the acre. had a piece Of lane
once that was too poor to sprout weed
l sowed it in clover. Next year
turned it under and put it in wheat
raised more and better wheat to tn,
acre on that poor land than did OIL
some of my corn land"
