The shepherd has given to the more prominent pursuit, that of agriculturist or farmer, and the keeping of ~ocks now more frequently is a secondary busi- ness, and dependent on the success of the till: ing of the soll. Even a tittle more than a hun: dred years ago the ten of flocks was not so far past away but thet Shenstone could plead for a restoration of the euepueral to his ancieat sia the matter of fame among men, in wise: « Distinction, titles, rank, and state Should rove where sheph-rds dweil.” In this change the show of the fieecy flock would be naturally smaller than that of other stock. There are some five or six pens of South- downs of good quality,and some pens of grades, of these two or three penal of Cotswold, ana about as many of merinos of extraordinary quality. This is all, and yet, possibly this is a larger representation of the real sheep growing interest hereabouts than the other farm sto2k has. The display of woolen cloth manutac- tured in this state was truly afine one. Tue cloths are stylish, and apparently of excelleat mples of corn, both of white and yel- low, are remarkably good, and the pumpkin and squash show {s also rather extra. ‘The display of fruft is very much larger than last year, and is largely applies. There are also quite a large number of varieties of very fine pears. There are few grapes and peaches, the season belhg too far advanced for much of a display of the latter fruit. But this fratt show show I understand is largely made up from samples brought from the north, and therefore shows too much for our region. But, as a whole, the fair is a good one, and as they are made up usually, 1t ought to satisfy Its friends and managers. But, like all agricultu- ral fairs in the one grand essential, {t was want ing. “One thing thou lackest,” ‘farmer, and that Is aright Purpose, @ fitcrowning motive in the holding of these fairs. The stimulant to grow fine crops and stock 1s quite proper, but these should be made subsidiary to stimulating to the attainment of a better and higher man- hood. Manhood 1s the true aim and end of this life, and literary exercises should form the ap- preciative feature of our fairs. Twenty-five years ago the writer urged in the public prints the mahing of lterary exercises, the reading of prize essays, the chief feature of the farmers’ fair, and he is happy to see that in one locality in the state of Virginia, where the Piedmont fair is heid, cash prizes are offered for essays. ‘This season the Alexandria fair offers diplomas for the best essays on given questions relating to farm operations. Give us the largest pre- miums for such exercises as will encourage the effort to develope the best man. According to the most learned chronologis' Hesiod, the poet, flourished two thousand five hundred years ago, a man of the justest princi- ples and Sentiments. The tone of his poem en- Utled “Works and Days,” wouid put to biust the sentiments of this profligate age. What a correct and noble sentiment is this: “Far best is be whom conscious wiadom guides, Who first avd last the right aud fit decides.” We must have integrity and Intelligence as a Possession of the mass of the people. Good so- clety, government, and the stability of our in- stitutions depend upon it. L.8. A. A New ENTERPKISE —Billiards and pool free at Godfrey & Randall's, 1345 E street sas west. REPUDIATION IN INDIANA.—United States Mar- shal Adams went to Mount Vernon, Ind., on Tuesday, with an execution authorizing him to levy upon uty penne property of the city in satisfaction of a judgment obtained by the Newark (N. J.) Savings Institution against the city for 00, He was utable, however, to find any property lable to seizure. In view of this, steps were taken to procure a writ of mandamus compelling the city council to levy a special tax sufficlent to pay the claim, This fact becoming known, a meet- ing of citizens was held Thursday night, at which, under legal advice it was determined to abandon the city government. Various mem- bers of the council at once handed in their written resignations, to take immediate effect, and the council, sitting in special session, prompny accepted the resignations, approved and signed the minules of the meeting, and dissolved, leaving the place without any city fovernment whatever. There is great specu- lation as to what the outcome will be; but the people of Mount Vernon are confident that under the existing order of things nothing can be done with the Newark claim. §e-The Richmond.

From my memorandum book I find that Corco- ran street was swept on the night of Angust 26, and bas not been touched stnce, and, as you may imagice, !t 1s worse than filthy; for it has been used more than usual to cart dirt and building materials to the new bulldings going | up on 14th and 15th streets, adjacent to Corco- ran. Weshould appreciate seeing the sweep- ers semi-occasionally, and supposed the con‘ tract called for visitations at least twice a month; but by the date given it is now thirty- seven days since they have passed tuls way.

Somebody has said that this 1s a cold, cold World, and so it is to most of us. We toll and labor and drudge from morning until night for our dally bread, and the next day the pro- gramme is repeated, and the day after, and so on, year in year out. But here and there we find a warm spot where fortune hassmiled kind- ly upon some lucky mortal and the sunsiiine of her smntle bas taken off the chill. But we never know what the next twenty-four hours may have In store for us. Perhaps she may be get- Ung ready to transfer her favor, and we may awake some morning to find ourselves rich or famous, or to learn that some cherished hope come to maturity and we are rendered happy fcr the rest of our lives. A case in point occurred in thiscity very recently. Mr. Willtain H.Hoogs,an old and efficient employe of the Post, was induced bya younger clerk in thesameestab- lishment to court the favor of the fickle goddess by purchasing a ticket in the Loulsiana State Lottery. The expense was not large, not nearly so much indeed as is involved in wooing a more human goddess, who requires to be constantly catered to, by way of theater tickets, parties, balls, ice creams, presents, etc., and after she is wor, clothing and food, and who frequently turns cut to be not as much of a goddess after all. So, after thinking the matter over ta his mind, Mr. Hoogs, a few weeks since, quietly en- closed a dollar bill in an envelope, an sent it to the New York agency of the Loulsiana State Lottery, and received in return therefore a half-interest in ticket No. 57,803 for the next drawing. This was the first and only ticket in a lottery that Mr. Hoogsever bought. The days went by, ard Mr. Hi paid little attention to the ticket, thinking, like many other who holds back from the venture, that he would never have the d fortune to get any substantial return for bis money. But there are many un- certain things in this life, chief among them be- ing billiards, base-ball, walking matches and lotteries, The 9th of September arrived, and the aiuwing took place, and when the official list of prizes was made Known, opposite ticket No. 57,503 stood the figures $30,000! It seemed at first pews too good to be true, and Mr. Hoogs it stood in plain black and white, and he suddenly realized that he had come into a small fortune, and all from the outlay of one hundred cents. The news quickly spread, and his friends were profuse 1n thelr congratuia- tions, although necessarily there were some doubtless who predicted that he would never fet his money, among them a gentleman who ad intended to purchase the other half of the Ucket with Mr. Hoogs, but who, for some rea- son, had withdrawn at the last moment. It must be confessed, however, that his doubts bore a strong flavor of “sour grapes.” But the well-informed, those who were aware of the responsibility of the managers of the lottery, thougnt differently, and as a proof of their con- fidence, offered Mr. Hoogs $14,000 cash down for his ticket. He wisely refused, and last Satuday, having previously sent his ticket to the New Orleans office, the Adams Express Company brought hima Package containing thirty clean, crisp $500 greenbacks. Mr. Hoogs is now a firm adherent of the Greenback party, and means to invest his money judiciously, and retire on his laurels. He is naturally much elated over his unexpected stroke of luck, but not moreso than his many friends, who are well pleased that he should have something on which to rely in his declining years, when he shall have left his desk to seek the repose which he has earned during busy and useful life.—[{Boston Daily Post, Sep 25th, * CITY ITEMS.
