DUPL1N COUNTY FAIR. Upward of 1000 persons
attended the County Fair in Kenansvlle the 10th
inst. Among them we're about 300 ladies. About
$50 were distributed in premiums varying from 81
to S. In this as in all similar Cat the South
at least the amount of the premium is matter of
no moment-it is the emulastion to excel which is
felt
jeremiah Pearsall, Esq, obtained the premium for
the best acre of upland corn 473 bushels. /. b.
Kelly for the I'd best 43 bushels. j. Williams for
the best oflowland corn, II bushels. jeremiah
Pearsall for the I'd best. 674 bushels. Premiums
were awarded to number of ladies for Quilts, and
other articles of domestic manufacture; to gentle
for horses, hogs, &c. And Silves Cup voted
to the Rev. Mr.. Sprunt for the interest manifested
by him and his family in the exhibition-they hav-
ing embllished it with profuson of beautiful flow
ers and shrubbery. Fay. Observer.
AN EDIroRs DISTRESS. We have just ended
career of five years in the publishing line. in this
growing city, and we do think that gentlemen who
have taken our paper all that time without paying
for it. ought think about forking over it they
do nothing more? We are modest man, and can
not dun either for subscrpsions dues for advertising
and Job work but We can tell our generous patrons
how easy they could render life, by enclosing
us Just what they We know it is for rehec-
ton they are at all in arrears with Could they
hear our better half scraping the bottom of old
meal tub-could they hear little dog types cry
ing for bread-aye, could they see our distressed
condition. all creation could not hold them back from
paying upi When our mao is full, we write good
humored artices-when our stomach is empty, we
are mulish and i'll natured and say hard things How
could it be otherwise? Come, men, fork over one
and ALL and we'll fork to those owe. This may
look to you like dunnng, but if you could
lodging from our creditors because we can't face up,
you would style this brief call the highest style of

The "oyster cholera" panic in New York has
played sad havoc with the dealers in oysters. For
several days past there has been almost total
sation of business in that line but the panic is
nearly over. The city is supplied principally by
average $500 WORTH at the average rate Of $40
thousand. That would make the daily average
sales of an average about 100000 and for the whole
sixty about 100000, and worth about $50, 600.
This is an important and extensive branch of trade
not only in New York, but in Baltimore, also, and
the panic must of course seriously affect the inter-
ests Of thousands who are either directly or
indirectly connected with it. The excitement
in that city has no reference to oysters from south
ern waters as they do not usually begin to arrive
there until about the middle Of November.

RAINY Sundays,

Rev. Jediah Burchard preached late.
ly to very small audience in Water
town on rainy day. He embraced the
opportunity, the Journal says, to tell
the following anecdo'e of celebrated
clergyman in Albany;
He said that tho Doctor told his par
ishioncrs he should reserve the best eE.
forts of his mind for rainy days-and
tho worse tho weather the better should
DO his sermons-nnd ho kept his word.
tho consequence naturally was, that his
church was never so well filled as in
wet weather, and the harder the rain
poured down, the more the people flock
cd in, until it finally became his prac'
,ice to pray tho Lord to bless lis flock
with rainy Sundays,

Tho Cincinnati Price Current states
that under o recent enactment, which is
embraced in the new code of Ohio laws
a debtor who is suspected of having dis.
posed of his property for the purpose of
defrauding his creditors, can be brought
before Probate Judge and required to
testify under oath with reference to the
matter. The FIRST case under thi, law,
that we have heard Of, was brought in
this city during the last week, and the
result was the defendants gave security
for the payment of the debt, although
they failed some time since, and were ro-
ported to be worth nothing.

True Freedom. How TO Gain it.
By CHARLES MAcHAY.

bt SaithLLo
We want no Gag, no Haunting lag,
For Liberty to fight;
we wan. no blaze Of murdcrOuu guns,
Tos,ruggle for, the right.
ou, spears and swords arc priutcd Words
The mind our battle plain;
We've won such victories before,
And SO VIC shall ugsin.
We love no triumphs sprung Of force
They stain her brightest cause;
'rs not in blood ,ha, Liberty
Inscsibes her civil laws.
She writes them on the peoples heart,
In language clear and plain;
True thoughts have moved the world before,
And so they shall again.
We yield TO none in earnest love,
OF Freedom's cause sublirnei
We join the cry Fraternity!"
We keep the march OF Time.
And ye, We grasp no pike nor ,peaF'
Our victories to obtain;
Ws'ye won without their aid before,
And so We shall again.
We want no aid Of barEieade,
TO show front of wrong
We have a citadel in Truth,
More durable and strong.
Calm words, great thoughts, unfinehing saI'h'
Have never s.riyen in vain
They've won our battle many a tine,
Andso they shall again.
Peace, progress, knowledge, brotherhood
The ignorant may sneer,
The bad deny-but we rely
To see their iriunphs near.
No widows groan shall load our cause,
No blood of brethren slain;
We've won without such aid before,
And so we shall again.

What though age o'er,akc thee,
Summer dayr will fly;
Ys, the Sun shall wake thee,
From the Wiatcs's sky;
As the Sun then shirc,h,
On the leHaeEs tree,
So my spirit twinsth
Ever, lore, round thee.
whs, though ngo O'ertako thee,
Beauty leave thy browi
Could e'er Gortake thee,
Love thee less than now'
Once the flower is planted,
Though its leaves decay,
Yo, the root, enchanted,
Clings unto the clay.

attention called to aman sitting in the gut

where it was rather moist, and on going to
him found him feeling very diligently in
the crown OF his hat. Upon inquiry as
to what he was doing, he replied ;ha.
sHhey told him he had brick in his hat,
but he couldn't find no brick" The con-
