I,ev;sburg University,

Last week was the anniversary week OF
this institution. Business engagements
prevented us from being present at the
commencement, as VIC expected, but we
learn from others that the shole toTn was
literally crowded, and the lecture rooms
filed almost exclusively with ladies long
before the exercises commenced. This
speaks well for the interest manifested IN
this institution. A number Of honorary
degrees were conferred on distinguished
individuals. Among other things it was
determined to erect additional buildings.
This state OF affairs Is highly creditable
to the libcrality and enterprise Of our
Lcwisburg nci2hbors. We wish We could
infuse some of their spirit into some other
towns We could mention, whore it Is deemed
almost sacrilcsous to divert money from
what they suppose to be its proper ard lc-
climate function, tc wit the breeding oi
six per SmJa1y imcricdn.

Northumberland counties will bear in mind
, the next Agricultural Fair and Cattle
Show to be held in Lcwisburg the former
part of October prox. As the next Nor
thumberland County Fair will be held in
Shamokin, the Union Fair will be the
only one in the valley of the West Branch
the present season. On that account, We
anticipate contributions from Northumber-
land, Montour, Lycoming, and perhaps
other counties, to whom the door of fair
competition is thrown wide open.
! The Trustees Of the University have
generously granted for the use of the Ex-
hibition, such portions of the Academic
edifcc, and of the College grounds adjac-
ent, as may be requisite, provided that no
damage be done to the growing timber or
other property. The site is excellent, as
it will be free from dust Manufactured
articles will be deposited in neat and com
modious rooms The large Hall will serve
for the Address, to declare the Premiums,
&c. The Yard will comprise about two
acres, enclosed in a board fence not under
six feet high, and arranged in stalls, &c.
All animals or articles entering for
premium, must be registered by 3 PM. Of

We trust that not only the Farmers q

cs and the Ladies Of this region, will
make their arrangements to attend not a
he interest OF the occasion. With such
soil and population as ours, PROGRESS
hould be visible year by year in Agrlcul- |

The Enquirer is busy nowadays in read
ing all men out of the Democratic party,
who do not think just as it does. All Dem.
ocrats who do not advocate the same men
and measures that the Enquirer does, are no
Democrats at an-and all who dare openly
oppose such men and measures, are forth

afiation with the Democracy of the Enqui-
rer man. are now very clearly defined, and
he has made an example of one already.
showing that they will be rigidly adhered to.
For Democrat to speak and act indepen.
IDENTIFY of party dictation, is an unpardoneble
sin. The wages of such sin are death! and
for doing this Geo. H. Todd is marked by the
Enquirer "for immolation on the first occa.
sion."
All other Democrats who attended the
late convention at Dorman's, fare but little
better than Todd. The convention 10 de-
nounced by the GRAND H. p. of Democracy
who first called it together, as "DIRrY
CONVENTION" for the action of which the
Democracy are not responsible. The only
difference between the position Of Mr.. Todd
and the mass of Democrats who ATTENDED
and controlled this "dirty convention" 10, tha
the sentence Of death has been passed upon
him, while the rest are only under judgms ntl
A respite 10 granted them, and it 10 clearly
intimated that if they get on the stool of re
pentance early, there is yet salvation 70
them. Now, we do not understand Mr.
Todd's crime tn be 90 heinous, as to deserv,
90 severe punishment as the Enquirer threat
ems to infiict. Todd had no hand in the "dir
" convention" He was present, it is true
and being repeatedly urged to speak, b.
dared to speak his sentiments. In doing this
he offended the gag law of the demagogu
dictators Of his party, and is to be "immolat
ed on the 6rst OCCASION" Todd objected be
fore this convention to vote for rensgad
Wing for Judge. The Democratic ala
"dirty convention" endorsed Wing az sher
i'll, and pledged the party to make no nomina
ton against him. Will our neighbor tell u
which is the greater crime in the sight Q
the "unterri6ed" rulers Of the party. an
: what he is going to do with these "DrHr'
coHvEHroHIsrs."
