After the Fair Thoughts,

From all accounts there has never
beeu a S. w. /. A. fair in which so
Tow cattle were on exhibition as this
wear. The main reason assigned
being: at has been so dry that our
cattle are not in condition"
Now what is the fair to teach, the
ordinary, or the extraordinary, or
both. What advantage is it to the
average farmer to see what some
cattle fancier can make out of his
animals by an unstinted use of grain'
He says grain does that; it doesn't

But on the other hand, if the herd
is driven from the average pasture

cattle show points of excellence; if
under average conditions there are
roints of real excellence manifested,
then the average farmer is helped.

the milk.producing by itself, also
the calf-raIsing. Let these come
from the best average conditions
and something will be learned. For
instance, let skim-milk calves be
pitted against those that run with
the COW; let them be shown as
calves, as yearlings, as two-year-olds.
Let those who are studious see prac-
teal test, and the time given to the
fair will not be wholly devoted to
being amused. NM

CLEVELAND Leader. The Prohi-
bitiouists all over the country are
opening a vigorous attack upon the
Republican party with the same
vigor. In the Prohibitionist camp
it is ayered that the Republican
party is the friend and champion of
free whisky. Among the saloon
keepers it is asserted that Republi-
canism is synonymous with "temper-
ance fanaticism," and that the Re
publican party is aiming to close up
all the drinking places. The two
parties disagree in everything, ex-
cept their hostility to the grand old
Republican party.

RIDDEN WAMPUNI.

An Indian Chief Shows a PaIe-Faced
squaw Where the Treasure Is Hid.
SOUTH Abingdon, Feb. IA highly re-.
spected lady Of Hanover, whose name is
withheld by request, recently dreamed
seven nights in succession that a young
Indian girl came to her bedside, and tax
ing her hand desired her 10 arise and dress
herself, and 20 with her 70 Wolf Rock. a
noted landmark in that town, where She
would find wampum treasure enough TO
last her through life. The lady followed
her conductor part way in Imagination.
when she suddenly awOke.
This happened seven nights IN success
sion, with the same result. On the eighth
night her dream took different turn. In.
stead OF the girl an Indian warrior APP
peared In full dress, eagle feathers, bow
and arrow aud tOmahawk, when she fol.
lowed 10 Wolf Rock, where they halted.
There" said the Indian, pointing 70 a
particular place, 'pale-face wampum:
pale-iace too: Indian kill pale-face I;
buried him; buried wampum; pale-face
squaw dig IL up" This so alarmed the
lady that she awoke, shiverlng with
fright.
The lady had never seen Wolf Rock. but
on being shown pencil sketch Of 10 she
recognized 1t at glance. and even point
cd out the exact spot where the solitary
cabin Of Hayden, the trapper, once stood,
also the place indicated by the Indian
where he bad buried the pale-faoe and
Wampum.
The peculiar dream has accustomed con-
siderable comment, and IL Is expected that
the ground In that vicinity will be pretty

DERRY.

at the last meeting Of the Derry cor
poration, Councillor Baxter said he
wished to call the Mayors attention to
the great nuisance occasioned by boys
calling out newspapers for sale in the
streets on Sunday mornings. AS a
member Of the Great James Street
Presbyterian congregation, lie had to
say that they were greatly annoyed on
Sunday while engaged in the solemn
services in prayer.
On the 23rd ult., a very large con-
| course of citizents attended the funeral
Of Derry artisan who, in his way, in
the past party and political excitements
Of Derry was a somewhat prominent
figure. The deceased, John McGeog-
hegan, Sas an O'Connell repeater, and
preserved his card Of initiation with
care and pride to the last. Recently
for time he occupied the post of jani-
tor in charge Of the rooms in the Lea
que Institute. In earlier life he was
employed under Captain Coppin, in the
industry which that gentleman once
carried ON in Derry, and 1t is a fact
we'll known in the trade that McGeog-
hegan was an exceptionally skilled
workman. On both sides of the house,
! the deceased had connection extend
ing back remotely in Derry. His re-
mains were inferred in the old Long
Tower burying ground.

HE'LL OWN THE ROAD YET.
A Western Tar.etman,s Device f6
Drawing Double Pay.

A Western Tar.etman's Device for
Drawing Double Pay.
Not many miles from Chicago lives a
targetnlan who, for nearly four years. has
played a little game admirably for it's
boldness and ingenuity. The duties Of a
targetman, every one should know, are to
keep constant lookout at the crossing of
two railroads and to swing the red danger
signal over one track at the approach Of q
train on the other. For ten years one man
has held the position of day targetman,
and he is still there. -Four years ago the
night man was killed, and the day man,
acting under instructions, reported the
name Of q man competent to take de-
ceased's place. This man was accordingly
placed Oh the pay roll and received his
salary regularly from the pay car The
junction at which these men were en-
ployed is merely IL crossing out on the
prairie. There isn house there beside
the targetman's shanty, and few rods
away his humble dwelling. "A few weeks
ago it was accidentally discovered that for
four years one man had drawn two mem s
pay, and that the new man who was hired
four years ago never existed, save in the
imagination of the man who pretended to
hire him. But the targetnan who drew
two mems pay also did two mems work.
For four years he has lived in that little
shanty, night and day. Not ten hours in
all that time has he been farther from the
crossing than the little frame house where
he ate his meals Twenty-four hours a
day and S65 days year he has been on
the lookout for the approaching locomotive
headlights and smokestacks Of course,
he could not have performed such service
as this without assistance, but all the as
sistance he had was that of an automatic
signal rugged up by himself during few
of his many leisure hours Stretching an
old piece of telegraph wire half mile up
the track in each direction, he drew it
taut and affixed connecting trigger to
the surface of the rail, SO that the wheels
of every approaching engine would pull
the wire and drop an old hat into his face
as he slept in his shanty. BY this means
he was enabled TO secure plenty OF sleep
between trains, and at the same time be
sure of being awake and on duty when
ever needed. Every pay day he presented
at the car not only his own order, but that
of the imaginary night targetman, prop
erly indorsed, and thus received the pay
for two mems work. This story is told
upon the authority of an official Of the ill.,
terested company, who adds that the
question now is whether the man shall be
compelled to give up one of his salaries or
be permitted to continue his little scheme.
It is ad mitted that his duties have always
been faithfully performed
