a PLEASANT GATHERING.-Mr JUS
tus Schneider, Secretary of the German
Building Associations, entertained the
officers and directors of those associa-
lions last night at the Exchange Ho-
tel. Everything was prepared in the
very best manner. The tables were
tastefully decorated and loaded with
the choicest viands, which the company
discussed for several hours. Mr..
Schneider occupied seat at the head
of the table. The company was con-
genial and the evening was an enJoya.
bic one to all present. During the even
ing speeches were made by the hest
and Messrs. M. B. Harlow, E. +. Down
ham, Isaac Eichberg, Worth Hul6sh,
w. P. Graves, P. F. German, Joseph
Kaufman, Thomas Hoy, George w.
Fisher, Albert Stuart aud others. Mr..
Schneider in his remarks gave sue
ciuct and practical illustration of the
benefits of building associations in
community, showing that it was the
easiest manner in which a mechanic
could he enabled to own his home.
"The greatest thing for a country" Mr..
have a home. The possession of a
home makes man better and safer
citizen and more intelligent voter.
Fully two-thirds of all the houses erect
ed in this city during the last twenty
seven years were built through and by
building associations" The speaker
argued that these associations were
boons to community aud should not
be taxed because their members already
pay taxes on the very thing that is in
strumental in their mutual business
transaction. Building associations
throughout the country, he asserted,
erect more houses than all other
agencies combined. He closed by say
ing that the United States League of
Local Building and Loan Associations"
have adopted the motto, THE Ameri-
can Home-tne Safeguard of American
Liberty"-and it should be adopted by
all. II was about one o'clock when the
company departed.

A NARROW EsCApE.--A colored wo-
man, whose name could not be learn
ed, had narrow escape from horri-
BILE death near the depot of the South
ern Railway in this city between s and
9 O'Clock this morning. The woman
started to cross tue street and had avoid
ed south bound passenger train but
failed to see the north bound train which
was pulling out of the depot at the
time. The pilot. or cowcatcher, of the
locomotive struck her, almost deuuded
her of her clothing and then threw her
to one side. When she was picked up
she was, barring few bruises, unhurt.
Those who witnessed the accident say
it was most remarkable escape.

The APPROACHING HoLDAYs.-The
streets to-day presented az animated
appearance, the result of the approach
ing holiday season. An unusual num-
Der of country people were in the city,
and they were going from store to
store examining and purchasing goods.
Merchants who had called attention to
their stocks through the columns of the
GAZETTE were, as may have been ex.
pected, reaping the fruits of their fore
sight. The display of holiday goods
this year is very good, many novelties
and original designs being on exbibi-
ton. Trade during the next ten days
will be brisk, as many from the rural
districts have yet to come to town for
supplies.

SHEEP BREEDING.

In sneer breeding there is but one
way of keeping the ideal sheep, and
that is by trying to improve it. Like
all other stock on the farm sheep are
either improving or deteriorating, &C
cordiug to the management given. BY
using n thoroughbred ram and mating
to carefully selected ewes gradual
Improvement can be made, while IL
no particular care is taken in the Sc
lection of the breeding animals there
will be a gradual running down. VIII
good management ram can ser
of the ewes usually kept on an, 50
that the expense is comparatively
small. OF course the Improvement
will be greater at the start than later
on. That is, u good ram will ada
more to the improvement of sheep
that shear four or live pounds Of wool
than to those that shear oight or
more
Tho safest piaN in ali cnScs is 20
breed the best ram ID the best ewes.
Better have = }.S number OF sheep
and have ihem OF quality that with
good fcec and care will return a fair

aomical way Of improving is by selec-
ton ana breeding, especially with
sheep. and the sheep as we'll as other
atock should lie kept improving. -

The longing hope OF silent heart
Is the hope that is not expressed.
The tenderest clasp thr hand might ~"
L. the clasp of a h0r,!-at rest.
Our Iaily lie Siii h-in- 20 the feast
The friends :hat we ds.iy meet.
But the absent guest IS tho very onH
The heart is longing to greet
&c. Fl. Turner, in PatEani"r.
