THEY have some queer jurymen in Iowa.
A few days since an old topper died rather
suddenly coroner in consequence held
an inquest-lstened to the testimony of a
physician-and was about rendering ver-
dict, "water on the brain," when Mr.. Slo-
cum Pepplcpodis, riz to object, Mr.. 'Coro.
ner, | have known the deceased for ten NOR.
tai years, and know he has never seed a
sober moment in all that time. To say
such man can die Of water on the brain,
is therefore id nonsense 1t can't be did
Cause why! He never took any into his
system. The true verdict, Mr.. Coroner,
should be, gin, rum, or brandy on the brain,
but as | cannot get such verdict / am
willing to split the diherence-compromise
and bring in verdict as follows: "Died
from the effects of brandy and water on the
BRAIN" The compromise was agreed to,
and the above verdict is Il part and parcel
of the recorded doings of Iowa.

TIE JAPAN ExrEDIrIoN.-The English
press are laughing at Com. Perry for being
out.generalled by Russian commander who
went to Japan and got commercial treaty
while Perry was lying quietly on his oars at
Hong Kong. Perry's slow motions have
failed to realize the public expectations Of
the wonders which were to be accomplished
by all the parade and show exhibited before
the astonished and petriied Japanese. The
Russian commander, with a force Insignia
cant in appearance and in power, accom-
plshed without difficulty what Perry, with
all his show of power, was unable to effect.
The display the latter made naturally excited
the fears of the japanese and made them
cautious and hostile.

RALEIGH, SATURDAY, SEPT. 16, 1854.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FAIR.

ARRANUEMENlS 10 FUN LIE AIN.
Attention is directed to the advertisement in to-
davis paper of Mr. Branch, the energetic President
Of the Raleigh and CASTOR Road, in relation to the
TRANSFORMATION of visitors and freights to the ap-
preaching State Fair
The Fair grounds near this place are being con-
sderably improved, with view to the comfort and
accommodation of the large number expected to be
present on the 18th and 18th of next month. The
buildings have been enlarged, the grounds have been
leyeled somewhat and sowed down with grass; and
indeed every arrangement which may be regarded
as desirable and justified by the funds on hand, will
be made by the Committee.
meeting was held in this place on Tuesday
evening to make arrangements for accommodating
visitors Committees were appointed for the vari-
Gus Wards to ascertain the number of visitors which
each public house and family can provide for. We
learn that one Committeeman from the Middle Ward
has already received pledge of accommodations for
some seven hundred persons
The people ofRalegh and vicinity will be pleased
10 see as many as attend. No onc we feel sure,
will have occasion to regret having been present at
the North CAROLINA STATE FAIR FOR 1854

81 The mystery is at last partially cleared up,
for it is now certain that have in Raleigh regu
larly organized band of Know Nothings. They num-
Der, it is said, some two three hundred, and hold
their meetings the third floor of the large brick
building occupied by Mr.. B. B. Smith. Who they
are is very different question. We could guess
who some of them are, but then we do not knor !;
and thus far it seems, it is not permitted them to
tell
We saw, Wednesday, the pavement near
the building referred to, parcel of benches said to
have been made for the Know Nothings. They look
hard enough to be stools of repentance.
We presume the first undisguised movement of
this body will be in our City elections in January
next and they doubt hope to be in full opera
ton for political purposes by the campaign of 1856
But what is to be gained here, in North Carolina,
from such organization, seeing that there not,
in the State, out of over five hundred thousand
tive born citizens than three thousand of for
eign birth? Are the public liberties threatened by
these three thousand cut of ire hundred thousand?

PENNSYLVANIA. George Darsie, Esq, the Whg

has informed his friends that he sent in his declina
ton six weeks ago, but that the committee had as
yet taken no action upon it. This he forced to
do in consequence Of haring had the misfortune to
be born in Scotland Of course the radical Know
Nothngs would not touch him.
Joseph R. Chandler, one of the late Whg Repre-
sentatives in Congress from Philadelphia, has been
set aside by his party, under the influence of the

=. That "RICu IRISH BRoGuE." The Bradford
(Penn. Gazette has the following capital hit at the
Whig leaders in that State, who are using the Know
Nothing influence to advance their selfish schemes
What is it that some of the Wing leaders will not
do in the hope of rcgaining power and placer The
Gazette says:
"Two years ago General Scott and the Whig lea
ders travelled the entire country pleading for foreign
Catholic votes, and denouncing Gen. Pierce and the
democratic party as being their enemies. Every whig
paper in Pennsylvania took the same course. Gen.
Scott loved the rich Irish brogue and sweet German
accent, and his toadies swallowed the declaration
with thrilling satisfaction So anxious were the
Wings in Bedford to exhibit their love for foreign
Catholics that they determined to appoint German
Catholic postmaster in the person of Mr.. Andris
Saupp, and accordingly he received his commission
from whig Postmaster General, and took charge of
the office before Judge Campbell came into power.
Now the very same know-nothings who appointed
Mr.. Saupp ask that the democratic party be visited
with destruction because they won't turn him out |!
The only bid ever made in this country for foreign
Catholic votes made by the whig party, under
the lead of Gen. Scott, and now the same party de-
mand that every foreigner in the nation shall be
branded with mark of infamy and Judge Pollock,
their candidate for governor, has taken an oath to
carry out their views, if elected"

Terrible Ro,o wih Barnum's .Moscmen-Iilitary
Ordered out.
A great with these men at Rappahannock
Va, occurred on Thursday last. 1t originated from
the arrest of one of their number for stealing COL
ored boy from a gentleman at Madison G. H., the
baggage of the boy being found on the Snowman 8
wagon.
The fight commenced in streets, and was pretty
general Sticks, clubs, and all sorts of weapons
used, and magistrate named Braxton Eastman,
was knocked down several times his head cut, and
several of his teeth knocked out.
Many of the citizens of Tappahannock barely es-
capped with their lives in the general melee that
sued.
The militia were finally ordered out, arms placed
in their hands, and orders given to clear the streets
This brought the rioters to their senses, and they
skulkcd on the first appearance of musket. Some
were chased into the mountains, some into the kch-
en- lofts, and others took to the woods.
Several of the scamps have been arrested, and it
| is hoped the people of Rappahannock will mete out
to them the extreme penalty due to taeir crimes.
