awhile-perhaps
The river rose yesterday to the hight
of % feet inches. 1t may rise a little
higher yet, as the last freshet in the
streams up north mas not yet reached
here, but if the clear weather lasts a

SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT CAT
TLE.-In the year 171O the weight
of fat cattle in the London mar
ket averaged only $40 pounds.
This, too, at the average ags Of five
years, prior to which time they were
not considered as being marketable.
In l725, this average weight had
increased to nearly 1872 pounds. In
1880, los years later, the average
weight of cattle sold on the London
market was $50, almost twice what
it was ITO, and at that time the
average age at which such beasts
were sold was only four years, as
against 5 years at the earlier date.
We have no statistics which show
exactly the average weight of the
fat cattle of to-day, but believe we
are not far from the truth when we
say that it is at least twice what it
was in 1850, and upwards of four
times greater than it was ITO.

Saint Maru's Beacon



Senator Daniel, Of Virginia, said
at Monticello:
''Other parties come and go
The eternal surge Of time and tide rolls on.
And bears afar the bubbles--
Federalists, wings, know-noth-
ings and what; their names even
ring strangely in our ears, and we
think of them as we think Of the
stuffed skins the species that have
vanished from the earth.
But Democracy came with JEFF
ferson, and it came to stay. The
republic is the government of party,
and party is the rule of partisans.
While the republic of Washington
lasts the party Of Jefferson will last,
and you, partisans of Democracy,
are in your place at this hallowed
spot where lived aud died the i'm
mortal Democrat. Thomas JEFF
ferson. Seer-sage-hero-proph-
ct Orator that never made
speech, yet whose words are spoken
by the myriad. tongues of freemen.
Conqueror that never drew sword,
yet founded an empire of the mind
that far outstretches the realm Of
Gear and Alexander. Man of the
people and for the people, we, thy
people, have come to do homage to
thy dust, and here we VOW that we
will guard thy work and so far as in
us lies see to it that the cause of the
people shall live and not perish.
The gun that Numbered yester-
day from Washington was loaded
and trained by Jefferson. The
Know-Nothings came along in 1856
with secret conclaves and proselyt-
ing, and they met at Waterloo in
Virginia. Henry A. Wise led the
host that conquered them and his
neck was clothed with thunder, but
the lightning of his speech were
guided by that master, the spirit of
Jefferson.
The A. p. AS are abroad in the
land now. Religious fanaticism
threatens for and against them, bnt
before they came Jefferson had pro-
vided solution of the problem, and
the tenets of our Constitution fur
nish the touchstone by which secta-
rian establishment shall not be
foisted as a burden upon the State,
and it is the spirit Of Jefferson that
moves over the angry waters and
says, Peace, be still.
Ex-Governor Russell, of Mass,
says:-Efual and exact justice to all
men, of whatever State or persua-
sion, religious or political; peace,
commerce and honest friendship
with all misunderstanding alli-
ances with none; the support Of
State governments in all their rights
as the most competent admins.
tration for our domestic concerns
and the surest bulwarks against anti
republican tendencies; the preser-
walton of the general government in
its whole constitutional vigor as the
sheet-anchor of our peace at home
and safety abroad; freedom of re-
ligion; freedom of the press; free
dom of person under the habeas
corpus, and trial by juries impair
TALLY selected; these principles form
the bright constellation which has
gone before us and guided our steps
through an age Of revolution and
reformation.
