hack and driven to the farm of Mr..
karicofe in Jefferson Co., where Mr..
KS good wife served the Board and
anumber of friends with an excellent
dinner, with a hospitality such as only
a real Virginian knows how to dis

best horses were hooked to the corn
harvester and in the presence ofabout
nifty farmers of Jefferson and Clarke,
II was driven into field of large corn
well cared. Mr.. w. II. A. Karicofe
operated the machine and cut and

One meek flower has bloomed to fade
And pass from weary earth to-day
One lone solitary grave is made
Upon tn hillside's sunny way.
Far above thy still and peaceful breast
| The summer suns may rise andset;
The moon will calmly sink to rest
Above our darling little pet.
We sit alone; yes all alone tonight
And picture in that land so fair,
A little form glide in pure delight
Through Heavens golden visions
fair.
Oh! father, now so sad and lone,
You little thought that morning
bright,
When last in health you heard his
tone,
And saw his black eyes beaming
light.
Death came, and nipped the tender
vine,
Which you had CHERISHED with such
care;
Sever'd the cords, that ever Irvine
Round parents hearts, where'er
they are.
We hope to meet our darling there
When we have passed from life to
rest.
He'll smile and bid us take q chair
Amongst the ever happy blest.
Though time may slowly pass away,
And throbbing hearts grow cold and
still,
I'll meier forget that lonely day
Or the little grave upon the hill.

THE NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUs.-
Through the kindness of Mr.. G. A.
Anders we had the pleasure, for the
first time, of witnessing the blooming
of his curious plant, at his house on
Monday night, which is so sparing of
its charms, and so modest withal, that
it only opens one night in the year
and displays its charms from to u.
Its opening and closing both occur
almost instantly, there being very
little premonition. The blooms, four
in number, present beautiful wax
like appearance, white with centre
composed of cluster of the most deli
cate petals. After it becomes seven
years old the cereus blooms yearly.
The stem which bears the blooms, is
eleven feet in height, and does not APP
pear to have attained its majority yet.
In fragrance the bloom somewhat re-
rembles tuber rose but is more deli
cate. 1t certainly is real curiosity,
and would be bonanza at Church
ir.-,Stdtesnada.

I From the Morgan Co. Papers.

Major Dawson says he raised one
thousand bushels of wheat this year.
We think this is the I" boss" crop in
Morgan.
Tom Allen gave us stalk of corn
on Wednesday measuring 10 feet in
length and bearing four ears of corn.
1t grew in his garden from a grain of
corn which had been taken from a
chickens crop.
A fine young bull belonging to Mr..
Warren Waugh came to town last
Thursday and finding lot of salt in
his travels over town eat quite freely
of it and then his thirst became so
great that he went to the Warm
Spring Run and drank water until it
killed him. He was taken charge of
by the town authorities and buried
in the tan pile.
1t will be gratifying news to the
boys to learn that there are very fav-
orable indications for large crops of
their favorite nuts this fall-chest-
nuts, butternuts, walnuts, and she'll
banks.
