THE FREE TRADER.
Ottawa, an, Friday, October 2, isAa.


Next "Wednesday, it viii be borne in mind, the
First Annual Fair of the La Sale county Agri.
cultural Society takes place at Ottawa, when we
hope to see general turn out by our farmers.
We learn from individuals from different parts Of
the county that extensive preparations are being
made--that general interest in tho cause is ma
niiestedindeed, that there is every reason to he
lieye that our jfrst eB6rt will be highly crcditabc
to the county. 80 let no one stay away under
the impression that i; is going to be failure. We
do not speak at random when we say we kHOD the
turn on, will be respectable, come what may. Nor
let any one stay away with the excuse that there
will be enough here without him. Recollecl, the
fair cannot be too large, bnt it may be too small
and failure now would do the cause incalcua-
bic injury. SO let all come who can. Give the
business fair start, and it viii go ahead finely.
OF the many benefits that result from these
fairs it is scarcely necessary that should speak.
Suffice it to say they awaken among the farmers
a generous spirit Of emulation, which ia always
the sure harbingcr Of improvement, and without
which there hardly ever is any. Besides, they
bring the business Of the agFicuurist directly be-
fore the people, and cause deeper interest to be
taken in his affairs. Vast improvements are ma
king in every department of husbandry, and in a
few short years, agriculture will be conducted in
the great and glorious west on the same scientific
principles that it is in some Of the eastern states.

The Canal iu the south.

! The Belleyillo Advocate introduces to is read
ers the letter from Judge BRErsr published in his
paper few weeks ago by an able editorial arli-
Gle, from which we make the following extract,
regretting that the late hour at which the Advo-
cate was received prevents us from inserting the
article entire.
Argument 10 unnecessary tc prove the propric-
ty Of the course suggested by Judge b. in his
Bclleyillc speech. We have had, in the mclan-
choly result of pursuing contrary course, a les
son, drawn from experience, more powerful than
argument, and one that will not soon escape the
memory of the tax payers of the state.
We look hereafter with confidence to see the
friends of these two great public works where they
should have been from the start united heart and
hand to secure their completion.
"The substance Of a speech delivered by the
Hon. Sidney Brecsc, immediately after the pas
sage OF the Internal Improvement bill, in the
court house, a, this place, is still fresh in our
memory; and though too young at that period tu
give consideration to measures of weight and I'm
poriancc, we distinctly recoect the prediction
Judge u. ventured on that occasion to make
which was, that if the people of Illinois proceeded
to survey aud construct, at once, all railroads sug
gested, the system would entirely fail Of It's OH
ects and the State, in less than tive years. be IL
voIvcd in debt to an amount that would require a
series of years to llquidatc. This prediction is
now n melancholy truth, and had the views of this
sage reasoner been adopted by our legislature, VIC
might be prosperous people, and the greater
part OF the contemplated improvement completed.
The Judge was in favor Of frs. completing the
canal, then the central railroad, and MeR il the re-
sources of the State were found adequate, to COM
p!ctc the intcrsecting roads. Such system
would certainly have been attended with lIttlc or
no risk, Oh the part of the State, and have avoided
all the diiicullicsihat has helalcn us througa the
means of the one we adopted. But as the child
would say, "irsno use to cry about split milk
our vessel is upon the shoals, and we must devise
some means to extrIcaic her"

On the night Of the 2Sth nit the now Jail at
Hennepin, Putnam Co., was destroyed by FIRE.
The origin of the fire was caused by a prisoner
attempting to make his escape by burning out
This he attempted to do by burning the wood in
the door which was covered with shcct-iron, and
having supply Of water at hand calculated to
qucnch the flames as soon as the hole would be
large enough for him to escape but, 30 his as-
constituent, no doubt the flames communicated
to other parts of the building, and he was obliged
to call on the jailor for aid, who Immediately
rushed to the scene, opened the door, and the
prisoner escaped whilst efforts were being made
to save the building, which, however. was burned
20 the ground.

the estimation Of the editor ofihc Regster--has got
into the heads of the democracy, that il we wish
