The LADIES FAlR.-Ihe Fair held
on Thursday last, bv the Ladies of the
Dover Beneficial Asso citation, was we'll
go, up, and passed off with admiration.
Seldom, if ever did we see on on occa-
sion like the present. room fitted off
with more taste, or the articles offered,
more isstofully arranged. 1t certainly
did great credit 10 those ladies who put
themselves 10 the trouble Of seeing it
carried through successfully. There
were great variety of novelties offered,
and among others, numerous pieces Of
exquisite needlework graced what was
called the ladies' table. Being ignorant
Of their technical names, we can only
say that this table was covered with a
grand combination Of the works of Ma
ture and Art, put together with needle
and thread Then there was the "Gen
tlemens' table, we'll filled with articles
converted Into every shape 10 suit the
various tastes Of men, One thing at
lracted our attention. The number and
Beauty ofthe rufle shirt bosoms. Just
The idea for log cabin dandy thought
we. But the Refreshment Table 1t
was enough 10 make any sensitive
mans eyes and mouth both water, just
10 look at it. Indeed we heard an ep-
| lcurean declare that The height of his am
bi,ion in this world, extended no further
than the Ice cream and Pound Cake,
which he held in his hand. Round The
wall we observed some beautiful little
cradle Quilts. Reader, can you draw
an inference what they meant ? If you
can't, 'Twould have done you good, had
you seen some of our old Bachelors
squirting dolefuliy at .them--one eye
shut, the other half open--one moment
heaying a sigh-and the next humming
the old song Of 20 wedIock is tckllsh
thing" &c. ....
But 10 be serious, this was not only
a Ladies Fair, but emphatically a Fair
Of Fair Ladies-'Hhei benev olence, &
philanthrophy has already been exlen-
sively felt in this community, and prom
ises to be yet more so. The proceeds
of Gales at the sair amounted 70 upwards
Of Ninety Dollars, which we understand
has already been distributed 10 the diff.
ferent Sabbath Schools. No subscrip-
lions were taken up to purchase articles
for the fair; the whole being voluntary
contributions by the ladies'. Yhe So
cicety thus began under such favorable
auspices, will continue, and desigr
holding another fair OfwhiCh notice vii
be given. .. ,, ...

TO THE PIIRIIC


Onmy return home, after an absence of two
weeks, my attention was directed to an edito~
rial srticelin the Tuscarawas Advocate of Aus
gust 18th, l64O, in which Mr.. Patrick charges
me with publishing IN Mr.. Tilden's paper of
March 9th, 1888. "a false statement, and to
give said statement the appearance Of truth,
sworn to it before Justice of the Peace, We
knew this sworn statement to be false"
Why the Advocate editor should make this
charge against me, more than two years after
the affidavit has been before the tublic, u.s. to say
the least, mysterious and strange. But knows
ing that can substantiate every word which
that affidavit contains byliying witnesses,
have thouhgt it due to the public and myself to
give him an opportunity 10 make his charge
against me good before jury of his country.
and with that view have directed legal in

THE ADVOCATE.-Respec only
for the children of the hardened wretch
who edits that vile sheet, has hitherto
prevented us from using sny harsh
terms towards him; or Of holding up to
public gaze the many acts of debauch-
cry, crime and prostitution,of which he
has been the author since the COM
mencement Of his editorial career. Per-
haps no public man 10 the county pos
sesses so depraved a character, and
no other one has by his insults given us
so much cause 10 tear awsy the white
scales that cover him, and re.expose to

rupt, and as deeply stepped in iniamy
as any bandit that ever Escaped an ig-
nominous death. Yet despite all this,
despite the insults he has offered, and
The many attempts he has resoried to
ajure US, we have heretofore treated
him With respect; and our language to-
wards him with very few exceptions has
been courteous in the extfeme-at times
TOO, and on occasions when justice to
ourselves, ,iand to moral community,
called aloud TO lash the rascal through
The county, and set him up as mark
for the finger discern to be eternally

Taking advantage Of his situation
having no respect for decency-groW>
ing more impuden, by our lenity-and
kDowlng that he could thrust his chill
dren between US and him as objects OF
pity and ommisseration, he has neg
Iected no opportunity Of giving vent 10
his malignlty at US. And all for what ?
For nothing else, thar that of our STAR
ting paper iu opposition to him, and
which he already feels TO be check on
his lying career. In the last six months,
his whole vocabulary of brothel phrases
has been discharged at US, and the beau

'Scoundrels,' drunken loafers," pups

of cotton and bread stuns were greater than e.
yer before. Business has Eeen extremely dull

The wants of producers have caused them to
carry their crops very generally 10 market, so
that whether we believe ii or moi, much larger
quantity of produce has been disposed of in
the great markets than during any former year.
The cotton mills in Europe and here, it is said
have been standing still, and yet. one way or
another the quantity of cotton spun this year
exceeds that spun last year by more than the
whole crop few years ago. The stocks ofcot
ton in all the ports are now small, and az for for

most no stock at all. Our store houseS are emp

agricultural labors. All this must bring our af-.

done so already. The overwhelming losses sus-
hined in the tremendous fall of property during
the last three years cannotbe repaired in the,
