1dg An alarm of " FIR" :" was raised in
this Borou il on Monday of this week,
caused by the boiling over of some tar in
tie Boat-yard. The hands in employ sue
ceeded in getting under the flames after it
had consumed about $50 in tar and lum-
Der. The Fire Company with their En-
gine was on hand in good time, and would
doubtless have done much service had the
fire extended to the Buffalo Bridge or the
building in the yard

Agricultural Fair.
Washington, Oct. %.

The Agricultural Society of Northum
berland County held its lst annual Fair a;
Sunbury, on Friday the 18th inst. There
were great many people present, farmers,
and other citizens from different parts OF
the surrounding country, and considering
that it was the first effort of the kind in this
county, the attendance was very extensive.
The live stock was exhibited in field above
Sunbury, where suitable pens and coops
We're erected the day previous, and the
grain, vegetables, domestic manufactures
and fancy articles were exposed to the
examination of the public in the Court
House.
Some specimens of good cattle were ex-
hibited, among which we observed Devon
bull and calf of excellent appearance, and
several Durham heifers, besides specimens
ofthe native breed. There was fine dis
play of horses, some Of the finest nags in
the country being present, and their exam
nation was carried on with apparently
strict impartiality, although much emula-
tion existed among the owners. The num-
Der of hogs exhibited was not large, but
those that were produced were excellent
specimens Of the native breed, and the
one that toOk the premium was hand
| some animal, and very creditable to its
rearer. a few sheep were brought on the
ground. This article Of agricultural pro-
duction our farmers should engage in more
extensively, and although the number ex-
hibited at our fair was this year very limi.
ted, we think that hereafter they will make
numerous appearance at our agricultural
reunions.
The display Of vegetables was good
Good fruit was on hand, among which we
saw jar of beautiful lemons. The grain
present was the best of its kind !; corn, oats,
and wheat. The wheat was pronounced
by them who had seen both, to be as good
as that which took the first premium al
the Rochester fair. The domestic flannel
displayed elected much admiration Henry
Nyer of Northumberland exhibited some
beef and pork which for excellent appear
ance and fatness could not be surpassed
by any in the city markets. Among the
fancy articles produced at the fair were
some beautiful artificial flowers manufac
tured by young ladies Of Sunbury and
Northumberland. But the finest thing
we saw there was basket of butter manu-
factured by lady of Upper Augusta town
ship, which was extremely fair to lool
upon in these times when butter is so very
scarce.
! The Agricultural fair was something
that the farmers and citizens in general Of
Northumberland county have great reason
to be proud ct. The attendance was very
good, and II, .,ch ,oirit was exhibited. Mex
year the fair vii be on much larger
scale, and we expect 70 see exhibited every
thing that Northumberland county can
produce, both in agriculture acd domestic
manufactures Gazette.

The Judicial Elections.

The genera! results of the recent elections
are such as to afford much qualification
and encouragement 10 the friends Of an
Independent Judiciary especially as the
details Of the Amendment to the Constitu-
ton had been arranged with az apparent
determination to throw the first election
under it into the vortex of party politics,
and carry the day by the force OF the po-
litical storm, without much regard to the
fitness Of the individual candidates
last is the real, and ought always to be
the paramount issue involved in the con-
test. In some districts Democrats; and in
others Wings, have been unanimously
elected showing on the part of the pco-
pie a praiseworthy disregard ofa political
considerations And in most Of the other
districts the elections were madc in such q
manner as to preclude either party from
justly cl4iming the result rs j polittco,i sic
tory.
In this district great Independence wa;
exhibited in both parties. HIr. Casey lIay

supporters, and which we believe to be cor
reet-bc.wcen three and four hundred

showing how largely Judge W. was tepcn

and how wide spread and extraordinary wa

political friends-owing to the storm 0
personal calumny poured out upon him
and various other local causes having n
necessary connection with the Judgeship
and which it would be useless now to ana
lyzc. Our opinion of the relative qualili
cations of the two candidates remains un
changed, and we have no regrets for tht
part we took in the campaign, except tha
we would, Of course, have preferred success:
to defeat
Private intimations have been thrown
out that the successful candidate will now
endeavor to correct some of the grievances
which have so long r2cp subjects of com
plaint among the people. We sincerely
hope this may be the case That there i,
great room for reform in many essential
particulars, no intelligent and unprejudiced
person, acquainted with the business of oul
courts, can for moment honestly doubt
And if the contemplated improvements il
the despatch Of business be faithfully car
ricd out, they will certainly afford very
great satisfaction to the community.

An Anti-Secession Meeting was recently held at
Hamburg, South Carolina. A. ]. HAMMOND was
called to the chair, and several addresses were de-
livered. Mr.. OWEN, of BarnwelI, took strong
ground against separate State action, showed its
fallacy, and the utter ruin it would bring upon
South Carolina. He urged the necessity of CO.
operation on the part Of the other Southern States
and submitted preamble and resolutions against
separate State action. These were adopted unani-
mously. The Augusta (Ga.) Sentinel, alluding to
the meeting, says: ,'ee .sa 5gaAt
we look upon this meeting the harbinger of better
times in South Carolina The ball is now fairly in motion,
that bound to sweep the State and carry dsmay into
the ranks Of the seceds per We repeat that those OPP
posed to immediate secession bound succeed they
true to themselves and the Sate all that is necessary is the
moral courage discuss the before the people, and
we are confident will their efforts The great
difficulty in South Carolina is, that but few Of her leading
statesmen opposed to secession have the moral courage
come out openly and decidedly, and meet their opponents
But if not much mistaken ia the signs Of the times
the people Of that State about take the question into
their own hands, and there will spring up in all parts Of
the State who will meet and vanqush these dsogaze and

efficiency to these movements, regiment of in-
fantry, with some cavalry, have been ordered on
the route, between the headwaters Of the Red river

MISSISSIPPI AGAINST SECESSION.

The Southern Rights party in Mississippi are
every where taking ground against the expediency
Of separate secession. They also positively deny
that is their design desire to place Mississippi
by the side of South Carolina in her contemplated
withdrawal from the Union. In the late debate at
Jackson, between Senator FooTE and Gen. OUR
MAN, the former assumed this to be the object and
to prove his point, quoted at length from the mes
sages of the latter when Governor, the leader Of
the Secessionists. III,
In reply, Gen. QurrMAN renounced positively
the South Carolina platform, and denied that he
had ever advocated separate secession, or thought
it advisable !" under existing circumstances. Re-
viewing his own message, he denied all Senator
FooTEs deductions, and explained that by the Sc
parate State action" which he recommended therein,
he intended only the action of a sovereign State,
making demand for redress and new guarantees,
preliminary to obtaining the concurrence of other
States in secession in case of refusal. The " Mis-
sissippian,'' at Jackson, which supports Gen.
Quitman with great zeal, AYERS that "if there is
single leading member Of the party throughout
the limits of the State who is in favor of separate
State secession, under existing circumstances, we
: do not know it."-lNobiie Register, 29h.
