Five were equally solid for giving damages. The case will come up again. % ' V No change was made in the bill abolishing the office of constable in Chesterfield county, and there will be no constables until the legislature meets again. Dr. J.

There'll soon he hustle on the farm, the boss will hump the long day through, and he'll be viewing with alarm, he'll have, so many chores to do. He'll have to gather up the eggs and haul and spread the rich manure and saturate t'.ic old mare's legs with Dr. Tinhorn's Spavin Cure. He'll have to sharpen up his plows, his hoes and discs, he'll have to grind, and saw the antlers off his cows, so they won't hook each other blind. He'll have to sort his corn for seed, and load his truslv Galling gun, so he can butcher every weed as soon as it salutes the sup. ' Oil there are forty million things the modem farmer has to do wh.n winter says good-by and swings its frosted system out of view. No matter where he looks he'll see" enough work to scare him dead; then fortunate, indeed, is he who knows just how to go ahead. He's wise who has of useful facts stored in his head a large amount; lie gets results from all his acts, and makes his everv motion count. In winter time when work is slack, the husbandman can rest and play; and then he ought to take a whack at good farm papers everv dajT. For nowadays the postman brings such mail to each good farmer's door; it makes him wise to many things of which he never knew before. It teaches system on the grange and shows where profits should begin; it tells of ever>' useful change of modern methods that will win. It surely keeps the farmer man who by his counsel has been led,, and teaches him to plan his*, work for days and weeks ahead. So when the snrino- tim*? mcW begins, he doesn't rattle BfmeTbut goes about with cheerful grins and gets things started off on time. Walt Mason.
