Stite Fair at Pitts5urg.

3 OH dL
PITrsBURG, Sept. 29.-The exhibition
of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural
Society now holden at the city of Pit,sburg,
Is very large, and has already been visited
by over $4,000 persons; and up to this
evening the receipts have reached Sl3, 900.
The weather has been favorable, and the
display of household manufacture, flowers,
carriages, vegetables, &c, is very fine. The
sheep are admitted to be the bes, ever ex-
hbited in this country. The horses aud
horned cattle, though very fine, did not
quite compare with the other departments
of the Fair.
PlrrsBURG, Sept 80, ls53.-The State
Fair opened here on Tuesday last, and
still continues in operation. So great Is
the variety of live stock, farming utensils,
machinery, fruits, &c, that the eye be-
comes weary in admiring, aud you turn
away, wishing for a lifetime of leisure to
nr.m;na in Ill .L~;- ,..:------, '.'''''0' .
and things" of such interest and impor-
tance.
The exhibition is the largest ever given
~ pennsylvania, and does credit to the
good old Keystone State, and to her sons
and daughters who have engaged in the
agricultural enterprise. No one who has
passed over the grounds with the most
superficial observation, can doubt Tor Il
momenr that farming has been reduced to
science. The department of live stock
| is large, aud Of the most celebrated breeds
in the country. There are chickens of al!
sorts, sizes and colors, from the tallest
Shanghai down to the diminutive bantam.
Mr.. Taggart, of Northumberland, makes
quite a large display Of Cochin-China,
Shanghai's, &C., which, for variety, excel
lence, and size, will vie with any others
on exhibition.
The exhibition of fruits is exceedingly
interesting Mr.. Thomas Thornley,, Of
Fallston, Beaver county, Pa, exhibits
forty-two varieties of the finest apples,
three varieties of natural grapes, and a
half bushel of seckel pears, which, in size
and quality, the world cannot beat. This
gentlemen also exhibits silver goblet,
presented to bis father in 1860, by the
Horticultural Society Of Manchester, En-
gland, for draining the largest quantity Of
land Thorp, Smith 4 Co, of Syracuse
nursery, exhibit eighty varieties Of choice
apples, one hsa,lrei ard .forty varieties
of pears also, grapes, peaches and other
fruits. William Martin, of Allegheny
county, has on exhibition large quantity
Of grapes, among which is a branch cou-
tanning one hundred and forty two punches.
These are, however, but q few exhibitors
of fruit, but will serve to give an idea of
the strength Of this branch Of the exhi-
bi,ion. Apart from agriculture, there is IA
large display of manufactures and ner-
chandise, principally the resources of the
cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny. At
one end of the enclosure is park, in
which blooded horses are continually RI
cling, greatly increasing the excitement
and fine band of music adds still another
charm to the scene. The enclosure con
tains about twenty acres, and was to-day
actually crowded, there being more than
forty thousand persons on the grcand.-

AMERICAN INDEBTEDNESS ABROAD.

AMERICAN INDEBTEDNESS ABROAD
For some time past, the Secretary OF the
Treasury is understood to have been en-
deayorinr to obtain the information nee
essary to enable him to reply effectively to
the resolution of Senator Hrodhead, calling
for information as to the amount Of Amer
lean stocks, &c held abrca1. He has so
far obtained about seven hundred replies
to his circulars to that end, which shed
much light on the subject. Yet, We are
inclined to believe that he has to eneoun-
ter The now stereotyped difficulties Of get
ting such information which made similar
expositions of his predecessors little more
than approximate estimates-many Pres
ilents of railroad companies among others,
and even Governors of States have declin-
ed furnishing to him information in their
reach. This arises, we presume, from the
common indispostion Of men to signify to
others the exact condition Of their bus-
ness However, new circular will shortly
be issued from the Department, which, 1t
is hoped, will serve to awaken those who
as yet refuse to reply, to the fact that the
public interest is deeply involved in thus
spreading before Congress and the country
reliable statitics concerning the condition
of our financial relations with Europe. The
press everywhere should urge prompt and
full compliarce with these requests of the
Government for necessary information.-

Our Large Colleges.

1t is gratifying to know that all of our
large Colleges which have commenced their
collegiate years this season, have received
even unusual accessions to the number OF
their undergraduates. Harvard has open
ed with unprecedented numbers, and Yale
has admitted over one hundred and thirty.
Brown University, over one hundredJ
We have no intention to endorse, without
restriction, the course of studies or mode
of life, or to disparagc the kindred institu-
tons of our own State and city; but there
are national and political bereGts peculi-
arly flowing from our older Universities,
and in that light we can consider them.
Tha. five hundred young men, whose prob
able position in life will give each great
personal and political influence in his own
district, meet together and live in the close
united student life for four years, is mat
ter of no small moment When the prac-
teal Yankee, the go-ahead Westerner, tie
sturdy representative of the middle States,
and the enthusiastic Southerner are knock
ed abou. together, during the period of
formation, until each gives and receives OF
the common stock, it is much for our ma
,ional mental symmetry. But more than
this. The friendships formed and PreJu-
dces overcome in those institutions which,
like Yale, have sent forth their seven
thousand disciplined minds to rule, instruct,
and counsel, do more to bind together our
Uuion, than all the books and most of the
legislation on that subj ct.-DailyRcytster.
The following anecdotc-we think 1t
worth preserving-was told to the writer,
by the late Rev DIR. Claiming, in his quiet,
pleasant way. A gentleman in Boston,
whose moral worth and unusual fitness for
business were we'll known, became good
deal embarrassed during the adminlstra-
ton of Johu O. Adams. His friends, by
way of p.tting his talents to some ac-
count-of giving him an opportunity Of
making competency, and, perhaps, of re-
storing his affairs, in some measure, ad-
vised him to get appointed to particular
office, then vacant. He accordingly went
to Washington, where he made known his
business 10 the President, by whom, being
an old acquaintance, he was received IN
the most cordial manner Mr.. Adams
told him that he would be very glad to
vpt,-e MN with the Office he wanted, and
the duties of which he would so well per-
FORM but that it had been bestowed on
another, may be, only the day before. He
soon returned to Boston, where his friends
asked him as to his reception by the Presi-
dent. He replied that it was good-that
it could not have been any better, for MIR
Adams not only lamented that he could
not serve him as he wished, but-as the
gentleman jocosely remarked, " He gave
to misery all he had tear quoting
line, we think, from Gray's Elegy, and
humorously alludiug to well known de-
feet in one of Mr. Adams lachrymal duets
giving him generally, the appearance of
shedding tears-DaIy Register.

The Menai Bridge in Wales.

Mr.. Prime writes to the New York
Observer the following interesting ac-
count Of this great work:
The Tubular Bridge over the Menai
Straits | regard as the greatest me-
chanical wonder Of the world, and if
my admiration of it had been great
when reading the many graphic de-
scriptions we have heard of it, my
wonder and pleasure were greatly in
creased when / came to see it. The
cars swept through the bridge fifteen
hundred and thirteen feet in length,
and we had no other sensation than
that of passing through any other COW
cred bridge, but as soon as We reach
ed Bangor, and the train paused, ] left
it, and let it go on without me, while
returned to study this stupendous
work. The problem to be solved by
the architect was this--to build a
bridge 800 feet over an arm of the
sea, so high in the air as to permit the
loftiest mast to pass under it, and with
out piers to obstruct the navigation,
The point on the straits selected for
the purpose was fortunately provided
with a rock rising from the water, and
nearly in the midst Of the straits.
This was the base Of pier; but then
the bridge, without a draw, must
stretch 472 feet to one shore, and 400
to the other, at the height Of at least a
hundred feet above the sea. Mr.. Ste
venson, the architect, devised, and
under his superintendent has execu-
ted this work, which promises to stand
an enduring monument of ingenuity,
enterprise and perseverance, under
difficulties the most disheartening,
and to ordinary minds insurmount-
able. To the work he brought, as the
first and chief element Of success, his
own genius and courage, and to these
he added /, 800 men, for whom Gotta.
ges were built along the shore, as the
labor of years was before them. The
bridge is to be Of iron, nothing else: it
is to hold itself without an arch, and
without steel cables to bind it to the
rocky shores. 1t is to be built on the
shore, to be foated on the water, and
then raised perpendicularly, and then
to be stretched horizontally from land
to land. Can it be done? The world

ldugheu, and wise men SAID no, It
could not be done. The man of Sci
enes pushed on the mighty work.
Plates Of iron were riveted together,
and atube, not round as most people
suppose, but square, or rather rectan-
guar, being 80 feet high and IA feet
vide, was built: thelabor Of this army
was extended through four and a half
years. Two million rivets hold these
plates in their tenacious grasp, and
these tubes, weigh. no less than eleven
thousand three hundred and sixty-six
tonsl During three years, the shores
presented the busiest and most excl
ting cf peaceful scenes. Schools and
churches were built for the families
gathered here. The arts Of life were
drawn around the settlement, and it
was as III new city had been sudden.
ly planted on the straits of Menai.
Sickness was rare, for the air was pure,
end healthful, but when it did come
and death with it, the consultations Of
religion we're not wanting to the dying
or living. More were born than died.
The work went on, and at last it was
done. Hydraulic presses were made
to raise the mighty weights, and inch
by inch they rose, till three weeks from
the time they began tc ascend, they
were planted on the lofty pier and stood
sublime. They did not break of their
own weight, They did not bend.
But would they bear the pressure ola
train loaded, laundering over this aw-
full chasm, or would the mass Of iron
crush and fall in ruins like rent
world, when the first train ofrail cars,
with its living burden, should trust
itself on the treacherous bridget The
train was ready, not with burden Of
living men and fairwomen to re-enact
the Norwalk tragedy (an event that
dishonors our country in the eyes Of
Europe,) but loaded with iron and
stone, to four times the weight of any
train that would ever be required to
p ass Uverthe trembling structure. Mr..
Stevenson, the architect, mounts the
locomotive, himself the engineer and
solitary passenger. He moves on,
and reaching the midway of the long
est tube, he arrests the train, pauses
there, that the heaviest pressure may
at once be felt, and the grand expert.
ment be tested once for all. 1t was
not rash hair Drained feat. It was
the calm confidence Of man Of cal
culation, who knew what he was doing,
and that he was safe. The sinking Of
that long line, with the tremendous
weight to which it was there subject
ed, was less than half an inch! The
experiment was tested. 1t cost FIVE
million of dollars, and was cheap at
that.
walked through it, and then by a
fight Of narrow steps ascended to the
top oft and walked out on the fiaL roof
on which the train comes, and when |
saw the power Of those concatenated
plates it was impossible to have the
sensation Of fear, while | felt sure the
structure will stand till some convul-
sion of nature shakes the earth and
sea.
