BuEL Institute were unable to at
tend the fair Of the Buel Institute at Peru
last week, as we had intended We learn
by the Peru papers, however, that the fair
was large y attended, and that the display
Of articles was much superior to any previous
exhibition Of the society. The receipts
amounted to over thousand dollars, which
is 500 larger than the receipts of the county
air. The society was favored with the finest
weather throughout the entire three days
the lair. In the premium list, we notice a
few Ottawa names, among others that of
Mrs. c. U. Wade, who took the first premium
in the riding match.

lii,no,s Central u. IL. Co. Failed!

taken place during the raging financial panic,
none has excited more attention and sur
prise than that of the Illinois Central Rail

posed 20 have such unlimited means at its
command aS TO he above the reach of any
such calamity. But in times like these, 1t
appears no individual or corporation is safe,
and with millions of means at command,
may be forced into desperate straits 20 meet
a r " thousands.
The immediate Ptrait Of the lilinoi
Central Company was TO meet its floating
debt, amounting to about $4,000, 900 To

the company was unable to raise the means
to pay up, and so, to avoid expensive iitisa-
ton it made an assignment, by which time

bills from Europe.

prospects Of this road at this time may not

the longest Railroad in the L. S, being 104
miles in length. Its entire cost is pnt down
in round figures at s23, 100000. This mo-
ncy was raised in this way. $4,000, 900
were raised by the issue o: stock to that
amount; $4,000, goo by the issue Of bonds
for the redemption Of which 1000, 900 acres
OF the ., 106,O 900 acres received by the com

5000, 600 were raised by a mortgage on
400, 600 of the zoe, 600 OF previously mort
gagged to secure the 81, 600 GOO.
the entire debt oil the company, therefore,
is at present about s2l 100000, to which
must be added the floating debt, amounting to
about 81 .O00.0 more. To pay this debt,
principal and interest, the company las
pledged its lands and the receipts Of the
