began first:
s.You see when | entered nv house the
candle was out, and the FIRE giving but 4
glimmering light. lcame near walking into
pot Of batter that the pancakes were to be
made of in the morning. My wife, who was
dreadfully out of humor, said to me sarcas-
ticalv.
Bill, do put your foot in the batter
8 just as you say, Maggy," said |, and
without hesitation | put my foot in the pot
OF batter, and then went to bed.''
Next Joe Brown told his story:
''My wife had already retired in our usual
sleeping room, which adjoins the kitchen,
and the door Of which was ajar; not being
able to navigate perfectly, you know, made
a dreadful gathering among the household
furniture, and my wife, in no pleasant tone
bawled out
DO break the porrdge pot.'
No sooner said than done; | seized hold Of
the bail of the pot, and striking it against
the chimney jamb, broke it into hundred
pieces. After this exploit, retired to rest,
and got curtain lecture all night for my
pains"
1t was Tim Watson's turn to give an ac-
| count of himself which he did with very
long face, rs follows:
"My wife gave me- the most unlucky com
mand in the world; for | was laundering up
stairs in the dark, when she cried out

STATE FAIR.-The time is drawing close for
the holding of the Second State Fair. The
10th of October is the day set apart for the
commencement. We hope the press through
out the State will keep the matter before the
people. Last years Fair was n good one,
but it must be distanced this wear Let Ills
have more stock Of every kind, more pro-
ducts of the soil, the shop, the Preside, and
every other department, on exhibition than
we had last year. Let us have more men.
women and children. Bring out a crowd
Don't be afraid of want Of accommodations
we have more houses, and larger ones, too,
than we had last year, and the citizens of
Fairfield and vicinity will make greater exer-
tions to provide for all. Give US the people,
and We will do our very best to take care of
them.
The grounds selected for the exhibition arc
fitting up in good style, and will be much
better arranged than were the grounds last
year; and in fact everything connected with
the Fair promises decided Improvement over
last year, and in keeping with the go-ahead
principle which is fast making Iowa one of
the first States in the Union. We under
stand that the number of visitors from other
States will be large. Let us show them what

Elsewhere in our impression of to-day will
be found a carefully collated, arranged, re-
vised and prepared history of the Kansas ques-
ton, together with great deal of valuable
historical, geographical and Typographical in
formation, much of which has never before
been published. So much information, poll
teal and otherwise, cannot he found anywhere
else in so small space, and we commend it
to the attention of those who desire to become
"posted up' upon the most important and dan
gerous question which has arisen since the
adoption of the federal constitution.
1t will be seen that the naked question be-
fore the people of Kansas is that of negro
slavery. The men of the North have taken
The initiative; and, urged by the Seward or
gans, they are ready to shed white blood that
blacks may be free Everything is sacrificed
to this. The advancement Of their own Terri
tcry--the perpetuity of the Union-the hap
piness of the people Of the Territory and the
adjoining State of Missouri-the safety of the
homestead and the comfort of the Preside, ore
all to be sacrificed to make political capital
for few Northern agitators like Seward,
Greeley, Reeder and company. When men
are shot, their houses burned, their families
driven from the Territory, it pleases these
philosophers; it makes pleasant excitement,
and keeps their names before the people. 1t is
agitation, agitation-the beginning and the
middle and the end of Mr. Stewards platform
agitation, without accomplishing anything
good by it; but, on the other hand, stirring up
misguided men to treason, and drenching our
fair prairies with fratracidal gore.
We have never believed in the glowing re-
ports set forth by aid societies and other in
terested parties as to the future of Kansas. 1t
looks dark enough now, and the present dis
turbances will check emigration for the pre-
sent Those who desire to 60 should wait
little. The matter viii soon come before Con-
gress, and IL must be settled. The present i'm
beetle administration, which is alone respon.
sible for the terrible state OF things in Kansas,
has not long to live, and it is to be hoped that
our next President may be favored with back
bone and brains enough to execute the laws
without respect to persons. Mr.. Pierce can
lombard Greytown, bully Denmark, or lock
up from the eager hands of newspaper agents
his precious Message, but he cannot restrain a
handful of fellows who are outraging the laws
on our Western borders. 1t is to be hoped
that Congress will force the executive to do
something. The country has had enough of
mastery inactivity
Read our history of Kansas, and look ont
for the next dispatches.
