The third annual catile-show and fair Of the
b;tion of the La Sale County Agricultural Socie-
ty, were held in this place during the past week,
agrceabiy to previous notice.
Notwithstanding many Disadvantages attended
these exhibitions, very general spirit was mani
tested on this occasion IN their favor. The warm
and wet weather which preceded the days appoin-
ted for the exhibition; the unusual fayorublc
season for sowing and other out-worl Of the far
mcr; and other considerations equally weighty
and important, prevented many from attending
especially those who reside at distance. Yet,
all things considered, the number Of persons in az,
tendance was very large, and the display of stock,
&c, though limited, was good and quite creditublc.
The most interesting part of the exhibition was
the ploughing match, the trial of threshing and
harvesting machines, and the very excellent and
appropriate address delivered at the court house
on Wednesday evening, by ]. AMnnosE W,onr,
Esq.
A thorough and complete organization, and few
master-spiris to lead in such exhibitions, are in
dispensably necessary to produce effect and har-
inonious action, and We hope that hereafter these
important considerations will not be so much ne
elected. To be able to give list Of the preml-
ums awarded the successful competitors for the
various prizes &c. &c, would be gratifying to US,
but circumstances over which we have no control
prevent us from so loing a, present.
We hope the exhibition which has just closed
will infusc new life and visor into the La Sale
County Agricultural Society. The importance of
such societies becQmes more manifest as we wit
meas their power TO produce beneficial results, and
bcst interests of our people, as by extending the
helping hand TO the science of agriculture.

Mr. John Austin, of that city, having in his pos
session a quantity of gunpowder, amounting to
five or six lbs, which had got wet, undertook to
dry It on Saturday in quite novel manner. Ia
fire in 1t, he spread the powder in some pans, aud
placing them IN the same manner as il baking a
batch of bread, sat quietly down by the oven un.
der n vine in his back yard to watch the process
"As migh, have been expected" says the Herald

knocked Mr., Austin, his tin oven, and all the sur
rounding materials into us many cooked hats

Election i'm Maine.

We have returns ofthe September election from
12l towns which leave it doubtful whether the
democrats have succeeded in eectlng "A governor.
This is the result of the folly of throwing away
votes on irregular candidates. In the above num-
Der of towns nderson, dem. has l4,3l1 for COVER
nor Robinson, whg 0,957; and there are 4367 for
Kavanagh, dem, Appleton, abolltlonlst, and scat
terings.
Both branches of the legislature will be demo-
cratic beyond doubt. OF the seven congressional
districts into which the state is divided, it is pro.
babe that three have elected democrats to con-
gress and in the other four there is probably no
choice. The democratic candidate is elected in
Cumberland district, and probably the democratic
candidate in the Waldo and the Pcnohscot dis
trc,s. In the Kcnnebec district, the whig candi.
date is defeated by the abolition votes. In the
other three districts, the opinion prevails that the
democratic candidates have lost their election by
reason of divisins upon other than the regularly
Nominated cancdatcs.- Pe0ria Press.

Hold EInllhcrN.

A robbery of most daring character
was perpctrated in this town yesterday
morning, the 10Th inst, in the store OF
Wm. Mckinney. The scoundrel entered
the store through one of the back win.
dows, by removing a pane of glass and
then drawing the nail which fastened the
window down. After having admitted
himself he went to the counter, where a
brother of VIM. McKinney's was sleep.
ing, who was awakened by his approach
upon which the robber called him by
name and told him that civilian wanted
the trunk which contained the money"
He was opposed by the young man for a
few minutes, when the robber clapped n
knife at his breast and told him abe must
have the trunk, for he couldn't run such
risks for nothing" and Immediately seiz-
ed it, in which were between 500 and
$500, and made good his retreat by I'M
boiling and passing out at the back door.
The money was principally specie; about
$40 of silver, and $50 of gold, the re-
malnder mostly Of bills Of eastern banks.
4 search was Immediately made, and The
lrunl; found in few hours after IN a lhick-
ct about hundred rods north from the
store, but broken open and riaed of lis
contents. Some seventeen dollars were
also found scattered around near the trunk
and about twenty dollars afterwards fount
in field about half mile still further
north. No other traces of the villain have
yet been discovered.
A reward of two hundred dollars is Of
fered for the detection of the thief and re
covery of the money innebago Fo

Vermont Election.

From the Office Of the Waterman, we have
slips giving neay complete returns of the late
election. The whole vote is small one For
governor, Mr.. Mattocks (whg) in the towns
heard from is in Ia minority OF I2s votes. He has
received in these towns 81 525 votes; Mr. Kol-
logu, (lem.) has 1929; Mr. Williams (abol.)
800.
The few remaining towns gave last year
$500 votes for candidates >f each Of the parties,
besides $50 abolition votes. No election has ta-
ken place by the people. The wings have a
large majority in both branches OF the legislature.
