great plague in 1866, as it Is well known fact,
from the parish records that Chatham suffered se-

1t appears feasible that the bodies of the deceased

oCR TRIP TO STocKToy.-We have lust re-
turned from the Slough City, but have no room
to make an extended notice of the trip. We can
only say the city is ''all up-sidc-down" prepar-
ing to accommodate the patrons and visitors to
the approaching State Fair The Court House
square is nearly graded and ready to receive
the main exhibition building; the artesian well
throws up jet of clear, crystal water, laughing
as 1T were in very glee at the prospects of a
hundred thousand thirsty souls worshiping at
its shrine. Every hotel, saloon and store in
the city is preparing to receive and entertain a
host of guests and customers league has
been formed by them not to charge for refresh
mcnts, lodging or other articles, more than the
usual rates. The Committee deserves the great
est of credit for their untiring energy, single
ness of purpose and positive devotion to the
duties they have assumed. The Officers are
VIM. Garrard, President; E. S. Holden lst Vice
President; j. G. Cobb Corresponding Secretary:

ELEGANT PENMANsHIP.-We acknowledge the

pen and pencil of Mr.. Joseph D. Burdick, for
merly of Cave City in this county, but now of
Stockton. Mr. Burdick has room next door
to the Post-Office, first floor of the Weber
House.) Stockton, where he attends to the exc
cutlon OF all fancy and artistical penmanship.-
lie also gives private lessons in Penmanship
and teaches Writing School Those wishing
TO see fine specimens of chirography, should
call at his rooms. In the art of beautiful hand
writing he has scarcely an equal, and perhaps
no superior in the State. We hope the Com
mlttee on Premiums for the coming State Fair
Will secure his services to 'write up and exc
cute the names and specifications in the Diplo-
mas awarded.

DEMOCRATIC MEETISG.-On Sunday evening
last the democracy assembled in this place to
hear speeches from the Hon Milton S. Latham
and Dr. l.. n. ketcham. A goodly number of
persons were in attendance Mr. Latham led
off in quite a spirited and lengthy speech, which
was listened to with attention, although, in the
opinion of many, even of his political friends,
he fell considerably below some of his former
efforts in this place. In attempting to smooth
over his leaders connection with the Herbert
affair, he signally failed and evidently found
"it hard road to travel" As he appeared to
think that the opposition to the Democratic
party presented no great obstacles to their sue
cess, he doubtless felt there was no necessity
in spreading himself Dr. Ketcham. candidate
