GREAT HORSE SHow.-Preparations
have been made for grand Horses
Show at Salem, Columbiana county
Ohio, on the 18th, 18th, and 18th Of
October. The Democrat says competi-
ton is open to the whole world, inclu-
ding the rest of mankind who have hor-
ses, and tOelve hundred dollars has already
been subscribed. to be distributed in pre-
mlums,-about double the amount paid
by the Vermont horse show last season.
The company has procured an excellent
lot. which they are preparing to fence. and
upon which they will erect stalls and other
necessary fixtures for the accommodation
OF all stock that may be exhibited. The
ring. for driving and displaying horses, has
been laid out, and is just half mile in
length. The company promise to spare
no pains to make it one Of the greatest
exhibitions ever held in this country
The premiums are all worth competing
for and will be paid in cash at the close
of the exhibition.
AS Salem is but short distance from
Wheeling, we expect some of our Vir-
GINA horses to carry away the tallest pre-
miums from our neighbors.

THE Know Norm1NGs IN BUcKuANNoN.
We learn that the Know Nothings in
Buckhanon find "the Jordan, hard road
to travel" When the Council was first
organized there. number Of the citizens
determined to ascertain who were its mem

dinghy organized themselves into com
pany and scattered about all over the town,
so disguised as they could not be recog-
nized to wach their place Of assembling
They then all gather round and regularly
besiege the building. SO that none can go
out OF come in without being recognized.
On one occasion the Know othings''
on ascending to their room, found these
disguised men seated in a row upon the
stairs, and were compelled to run the
gauntlet of them all to get into the room.
Our informant states that under this pop
ular surveillance the meetings of the or
der are fast becoming fewer aud further

attend, and others refusing to join.

remains for the Know Nothings and Fill

not be made to believe that they have be-

patriotic principles. and if they are secret
from fear of failure if they were to come
out openly. which we believe to be the

too much at time with this subject. we
will defer some other points until another

points of this and adjoining States not

clerks and mail agents. Our attention is
called to the fact that persons sending lot.
ters to their country friends fail to name
the post-officc. They merely direct

with the name of the county. If they
would invariably name the post Office
