proves of his conduct in striking his consular

and successor will shortly be appointed

entered bonds in the sum of -one hundred
thousand dollars as administrators to the will
Of Mr.. Bodisco, the late Russian Minister, so
far as itrelates to his persona! estate Judge
Purcell decided that the will, only bearing
his signature and not having been witnessed
according to the statute, is not sufficient TO
pass the real estate, which however goes by
decent 20 the widow and her children. All
the property in this country, il is supposed
will amount to 100000.
From what can be ascertained, nothing will

until the meeting of Congress. 1t is the
opinion of those best cOnversant with affairs
in Utah, that a strong military force will bC

"Will this influence a peace? p

the remarkable answer. Of the Prince, must
not only guarantee liberty of worship TO all
classes of Christians in Turkey but it must

Our readers will find in another column
the list of premiums awarded at the County
Fair recently held in this place. The list
came Into our hands mostly on slips of paper,
and on cards, &C. written in pencil, which we
have dovetailed together the best way we
could. There was entirely too much haste
in the exhibition, and too little, or rather,
no system at all in its arrangement.
Every depositor or exhibitor should be re-
quired to procure ticket or card to he placed
on the article, exhibited, with the name o.
the article-the No and class and name of
the exhibitor, and every exhibitor SHOULD be
required to prucnre certificate Of member
ship. Had the grounds been enclosed n
considerable sum would lave been realised
for admttanCe alone. Fruits and many
other articles, should be separately arranged,
and only handled by the respective commit
tees. Persons should be allowed ingrcss,
only, at one entrance, and cgress at the 9TH
er, to prevent pressure in opposite drec-
tions. There are many other improvements
that might be suggested, and which ought to
be attended by a committee Of arrangement
previous to the exhibition.
There ought also to be revision OF the
premiums awarded, as some committees may
award too freely whilst others may be toe
stringent. No premium should be awarded
more than once, for the same article, unless
it is for some improvement. We trust that
at the next exhibition all these things will
be attended TO in time. The result of the
late exhibition, and the great interest mani
tested by all, affords ample evidence that
these annual exhibitions, when properly con
ductcd and continued for several days, may
be rendered not only highly attractive but
profitable to tha society.
The address on the occasion was delivered
by S. NJ. Kasc, Esq, Of Sh0mokn, and con
taned many valuable and useful suggestions
