NEV-HAMPS SHIRE STATE FAIR.

This Fair was held at the same time Of the New
York Fair The storm affected the first days, and
kept many away. correspondent says the attend
ance was good on Thursday and Friday, aud on the
whole the result is favorable, and will pay expenses.
The show Of working-oxen wes large, and animals
splendid George X. Wright OF Keene took the first
premium.
The display in the fruit department was quite ex-
.ensve The fine specimens Of the varieties exhibited
gave strong indications that New. Hampshire is gain
ing ground and beginning to appreciate the worth
and Importance of practical improvements in fruit
growing.
Tie later root crops of our State are now nearly So
cured and the result is far better than was antici
pated. The great douth which prevailed during the
latter part of throughout the State, in CON-
mon with all New England, seemed to threaten the
almost total destruction Of the potato crop, but the
abundant rains Of the last four or five weeks have
produced Unexpectedly favorable result, for many
believed the crop past redemption. Thore are now
potatoes enough and to spare They are now sell
ling at 40 to 60 cents per bushel The hay and grain
crop, we believe throughout the State, has been
quite good.
The address was by Simeon Brown, editor of The
Ner.Engiand Farmer practical man, upon the
Practical Features Of Agriculture which he treated
in remarkably practical uiilitarian manner, suited
to the taste and abilities of all classes. What rem
dered it the more papable to the understanding was
bis method of making it entirely matter Of dollars
and cents, proving satisfactorily that investments in
improved stock and superior tools were to pay
good dividends while outside spesulations in railroad
and bank stocks &c were very liable to involve the
parties in difficulty and embarrassment. HIS plan
was for each person. whether farmer or mechanic to
his surplus of receipts in the enlargement OF his
business with the workiI gs of which he must be
better acquainted than be could be with speculations
Of any other kind.

THE GRAHAM VERDICT.

1t was through no desire of our own, but in the
discharge Of public duty, that We were led in
some degree to comment on the proceedings at
the Graham Murder Trial, before thu. trial was
concluded. We had become aware Of the fact
that the Jury was constituted in q manner con-
tIary to the wise provisions of the law, and prima
taeie intended to defeat the ends of justice. That
fact We held it to be our duty to denounce; and
though in the face of that aenuncistion the coun-
sci for the defense most unwisely endeavored to
carry through the trial with packed Jury, this
foolish persistence had to be abandoned, and the
intrudipg relative Of the defendant saw himself
expelled from the Jury box. The propriety of
our structures was thus emphatically acknowl-
edged by those whom they most affected, while
the public was furnished with new reason to ap-
preciate the services of an independent and fear.
less Press.
The verdict finally rendered is probably a
milder one than the mass Of the community may
think was deserved, but it is not one to excite
any considerable dissatisfaction. There is, we
believe, in the general public sentiment of the
community, nothing vindctive toward those ar
raigned as criminals, and if the ius.inct of justice
be not outraged there is little disposition to end
iauit with the particular decision of any Jury.
Indeed so profound is the impression of the inu.
tiiity OF the punishment which the law allots to
the crime of Murder, that unless in very Agra.

We observe in sundry local journals OCCASIONAL
letters From our New.York Correspondent, y
or under some more modest caption. made up in
good part Of anecdotes Of this or that resident
Of our City whose literary, political or other Incl
dents have rendered him to some extent an OBJ
ject of interest. Some Of this gossip is mali
cious, more Of it impertinent, and good deal of
it apparently dictated by no other impulse than a
desire to concoct pquant telling letter. though
at the expense Of rendering some well-desersing
man or woman ridiculous And we are often
subjected thereby to a visitation Of letters ask
ing us to Soy privately or publicly whether the
Rev. A. d. is really scamp, or DR.. e. d. a
swibdler, or the author of the new Hebrew Cos
mogony has actually run away from two wives
and is now living in open adultery with some
body ese.
Such letters we have no time to answer in de-
tail but We prefer one general rule whereby the
truth or fiction of all newspaper or other gossip
may be safely tested. The rule is this: The

of fact around which to weave his fable, but his
story is in essence lie or he would not hide be-

our answer in advance to all the letters you may
be tempted to write US as to the truth Of these
anonymous libels.
We have been told that such calumnies are
sometimes admitted. through favor, into respect

science
Whatever has Iightfully become a public con-
Germ, should be subjected to the fullest and freest
discussion. The conduct of every public func-
tOnary, the character of every aspirant to office,
should be exposed to the most unsparing scrutiny,
for this the public good imperatively demands.

The "NewYork Correspondence of good

An eminent and venerable man has just died at
Washington in the person Of William Darby. OF the
deceased The National Inteigeneer has the following
obituary notice:
Yesterday in this city, VIM. Darby, Esq.,, in the
soth year of his age. Mr.. d. was native of Penn
sJvana, but in bis infancy removed with his parents
to Ohio when the whole trans Allegheny country was
Wilderness inhabited only by fierce and savage
tribes Of Indians. Reared in that country, he grew
with its growth and aided by his love of physical and
especially Of geographical science he was better ac-
9uainted with the geography and early history OF The
Great West than any man we have known: Ills
knowledge was not however confined to his own
country but ranged through all the world and through
all recorded history. The requirements engrafted on
mind of remarkable vigor and power Of analysis.

and staiician of whom we have ever had any knowi-
edge Nor was be was lees remarkable for the wisdom
which be drew from the lessons of history and expert
ence. He was q man Of singular sincerity, probity
and beoevolence, and was equally deserving Of re-
spect for his virtues and Of admiration for the powers
Of bis enlightened understanding.

yerssIly seauiesced in; snd Ward. after serving
out his time, might have returned to society
and to such repose and usefulness as he is cspabie
Of II is his total scquittal, believed to have
been procured By corruption and in defiance OF
right, which fixes upon him the mark Of Cain
forever. End hsunts him v 18th the awful scourse
of guilt and shame in whatever comm nifty he
sets bis foot. And had DR.. Grahsm been ac-
quilted ss Ward was, and as many persons
feared be would be, he would still have found
himself pursued by a universal verdict Of guilty
and q sentence Of social condemnation far more
terrible to bear than that to which be is now
liable.
1t is supposed By some that among the points
On which Grabams counsel intend to demand a
lew trial is the irreguarity in the rendering OF
the verdict by eleven jurors only. Although the
original construction Of the Jury may seem 10
some measure to justify such q suspicion We are
not prepared to believe that Mr. O'C.nor and his
associates can resort to that ground for setting
aside the verdict. Certainly, such procedure
on their part cannot be regarded as other than
diseraceful after the pledges they gave when the
illegal Juror was withdrawn. Nor could their
client be likely to reap any advantage from such
course. Ihstead Of being under conviction Of
msnslsugbter he would then staud under indict-
nent for murder and bis admission to bail would
stil be impossible. And it is difficult to suppose
that a new trial, conducted as public opinion
would imperatively demand that it should be,
with something more like equality between the
talent and skull Of the prosecution and the de-
feDse could result any more favoraby for the
prisoner than that just concluded. It's probable,
therefore, that the further proceedings will only
re suit in the execution of this verdict.
On the whole, then, We may congratulate the
public that something like justice is to be done in
so important case and that this communityis
to be spared the evils resulting from the total
overthrow of justice BY a combination Of money
aid talent in behalf Of this particular criminal,
beginning with the packing of the Jury, AMI end
ing in his total acquitta. We may still feel some
confidence 10 the equal administration of the
law

humble candidate for a place on the lowest round

"Whst business have you to be inquiring into

my hogs or bores, and you have no more right

The other case was that Of The Richmond En-.

still the chief oracle Of Virginia The offender
in its eyes was Gen. Cas-, who, in makinga speech
in Slavery's behalf in Michigan, saw ft to throw
