Many admirers Of Longfcllow will be
interested to learn that the idea Of this
popular poem was suggested to the
author BY the lofty sentiments contained
in letter which lie received from his
friend Charles sumner In letter which
the poet himself wrote TO another OF his
friends, Mr. G. * Tuckerman, he tells
how this idea was developed in his
mind and he gives in plain pross, the
intended lesson Of the piece:
The hero passes through the Alpine

A GOAT FARM.
A WOman's Venture which
has Proved Profitable.
Raising Angcra Goats and Selling Their

\ Nyack, y. W letter to the New

they do on the rocks about ShaGtytoUn,

ent breed of goats, more ariStocratic than
their city relatives as to wool, more epic
urean in their tastes and more blue
blooded as to ancestry The herd in
this somewhat novel farm lust now mum

cross between a dog, rabbit, and
lady's powder puff, to the handsome pa
triarch Of the flock, a magnificent spcci-
men Of the pure AnCora breed, with i'm

fellow with his wife were imported by
DR.. Agncw, the famous oculist of New
York, from Asia Minor and the impor-
tation cost him a heap of money as the
price Of goats goes. Their present own
er is the good woman who now runs this
goat farm, and who never tires of dis
canting on the good qualities of her pets.
They know her voice, and answer TO
their names when she calls them. Kind
and gentle they appear when visitors are
about, but the fondness for fighting, as
characteristic of goats as it is Of native
of Tipperary, crops out when the herd is
together and apparently out of sight Of
mankind.
A strange fact noticed in the breeding
Of these animals is that the females do
not thrive in this locality as well as tie
male. The hardy female goat of the or
dinary species was introduced into this
flock for experimental breeding purposes
and with marked success. Repeated

Senator Hampton has been called away
again by family misfortune. These re-
peated calamities have almost broken the
old hero's heart. I am informed too that
he says he is physically breaking down,
and that the wound on his head, received
in battle, is troubling him so that he
notices a failure of memory. 1t may be
that his affections are being gradually
withdrawn from mortal affairs and fixed
on those that are eternal.-"J. r. H." IN

feared seriously injured. He is in an un-

Mr.. VIM. Langford had a large poplar
on his place near town, which he had cut
down and partly sawed up the past week
There were six cuts got from the tree. each
eight feet long. The first cut was 44 feetin
diameter. The logs were got to the saw
mill, only short distance, after much
trouble, and two sides had to be blocked OF
before they could be sawn. Then the saw
was run through ON one side, like one cuts
a big watermelon with a pocket knife.
The saw reached just to the centre. The
log was turned over and sawed on the
other side the same way, and the two parts
thus formed were managed without much
trouble. Out of the first cut 75S feet OF
lumber was made. The other cuts were
not so large but the whole tree will make
about four thousand feet. Mr.. Langford
has sold the lumber at $50 per thousand.
Another homicide has taken place in our
county. Luther Barnett, 6 young man,
about twenty-one years Of age, was killed
Sunday morning by Oliver Hester, who
had married Barnett's sister. The report
is that Hester was whipping his little child,
about year and half old, and Barnett
demonstrated with him and said he ought
not to whip little child that way and that
one word brought on another until Hester
picked up tongue plow lying near him in
the yard and threw it at Barnett, striking
him on the side of the head above and to
the rear of the ear. The blow caused his
death. A warrant has been issued for Hes
ter, but he has not been arrested. He is a
young man not more than twcnty-three
years old. He, when boy, was severely
injured by team running away with q
wagon up Church street several years ago
and throwing him out. He was carried to
Sheriff Gentrys, where he remained sever
al weeks. They lived near New Prospect.
