The most attract ive feature of Sale Day was the colt show, which come off In accordance with previous notice. The young anlmv.ls NVere led on the square about twelve o'clock, hud attracted universal attention and great admiration. After standing on the square for a reasonable time, the older of the horse* Mere hitched to vehicle* anil driven up and down main Street to the delight of a great crowd of by stAnder*. Among ttie whole lot there was not a poor colt. They were all of excellent grade, but the horse of Mr. W. J. Donald, we believe elicited the greatest admiration for Its beauty of lorin and gmce of curHue. The colt show was a reallv an evidence of r>fosres* on the part of our people in a line ?>f >u?lness which has been| heretofore too nnich neglected. If we live to see another year, and another colt show, wc hope to see an equAi number of nmle an<l horse colts on the ground. We had uo mule colts here lust Monday. We have done the best wc could in the way of securing a list of all the stock on exhibition. Next year, we must have a place of entrv. giving psrtlculiirs 01 eacn ammai, hum name of Its owner, and any oilier desired Information. The list, we think, is as follow*, but we fearthat we have failed to get the name of some of th exhibitors: The following were the exhibitors, anil the name and pedigree of their rolls : John K. Brownlee?I.ady Urnuger, bay mare 4 year*, sire Granger. John K. Brownlce?Lucy Hlnton, bay marc, .lyesirs, sire Granger. W. J. Donald?Ida, mahogany bay, 3 years, aire Granger. H. W.

The cold went her of last winter having completely killed the crop In some field* and In other* thestand was made so thin a* to make tt almost a failure. Hut despite these i facts there are ft few farmers who are more | forlnnnie with this crop. i All the report* of the wheat crop are cheering. If we can have good seasons frotn now until the maturity of the crop, tho yield will be abundant and satisfactory. ( The barley and rye crops arc so small as to receive hut little attention. Many farmers; seem to prefer to huy their corn out of the; utore* on a credit than to pot themselves to] the trouble of planting these crop*. The area In upland corn Is ueurly double that ol any previous year, and nearly all the i low lands are In a fine state of preparation, and corn has been planted In evory available | ncre of this land. , The farms are better worked than ever he-1 fore at this season. The hushes have been | ( leaned away, nnd the land presents a pleas-M Ing appearance to those who take an Interest ' in agriculture. The crop of colts Is good, and from reports |, received at the l'rex* and ff-tnnrr ofPce, we i nre led to believe that our farmers are thoroughly a.lve to this most Important Industry. The many excellent horses nnd Jacks , In this county afford excellent opportunity to nil who choose to avail themselves of the ]>roflts arising from colt raising. The demand for tool cuttle is good and steady, though indications would seem to plont to the fact that the Jersey croze Is about i over so far as fancy figures are concerued. j Ballet In Her Brain. j Last Thursday morning .liimn On I Hard I discharged hi* pistol. sending the ball Into! 1hc brain of his sister Lizzie Gladden.

Recent ] expressions have led us to doubt the propriety of "excursions," and unless the railroad niithorltleN shall make arrangements to prevent disorderly conduct, we think it might not tie amiss for our people to remain at home on such occasion". A cunrd of four, six or ten policemen could preserve order, and we see uo reason for not employing them. "At Reat." Eunice Perrln Oass, the only child of Rev. and Mrs. John Oass, departed this life on Wednesday. April 2">, 180, aged three months and nine rf.\ys. Her existence, it Is true, was brief, but during the time she was with us. . ber presence was a? a sunbeam, cheering and enlightening the whole household. But, "Alans I how changed that lovely flower. Wh'ch bloomed and cheered dor heart; Fair fleeting oomfort of an bonr. How aoon we're called to part !"

Twelve or thirteen passenger coaches were the Railroad accommodations furnished for the occasion and every ear was tilled to its utmost capacity, but not all young people. They were mixed In with all ages of this generation. A pleasant trip on the lovely first day of May to the Mountain C'it.v was thus depleted in the countenance of about one thousand pcrsonsull on board.
