THE MECHANICS FAIR was thronged with Wis
itors last evening" and the receipts must have been
very handsome. In addition to the attractions
presented by the display of beautiful articles and
ingenious mechanism, fine band of music was
in attendance, and beautiful series of tableaux
were presented under the direction of Dr. Flagg,
who is au fat at all such arrangements. Today
the Fair will be in apple-pie order, and we hope
our numerous friends from the country will avail
themselves of the opportunity that will be af.
forded to see the numerous and varied collection
of works fart, beauty, and utility that are there
exhibited. Our limits have prevented us from
giving, this morning, continuance of the extend
ed notice we had intended, but again we say to
all our readers, go to the Fair and see for your
selves.

The Bay State does not know that the free
state settlers in Kansas have been overborne four
times By the border rufians at the polls. 1t does
not know that a code Of laws n0to ex istsin that
Territory, forced upon the people by unprinciPled
Missourians, which would disgrace any age or ma
ton. 1t does not know that every effort is being
made, sanctioned by the national government to
prevent the free state men from having fair
vote.
Now, il II does not know these and similar
things, Il is simply because it does not want to
know them. Gen. Cass knows all about them,
and said in his place in the Senate. that some Of
the laws forced upon the people of Kansas were
disgrace to any age We suggest TO the editor
the Bay State to confer with Gov Reeder and
see if he cannot get some light from him. 1t is
in vain to alledge that Gov. Reeder gave cer,i.
Gates to some OF the border rufian Legislators
He admits it, and regrets it, but he did SO because
the remonshances did not reach him till after the
time fired upon for their reception, had expired

pTincipled men who have been the bane and the
curse of Kansas. But we are reminded that Gov.
Gesry is not quite orthodox in his Democratic
creed. Since his observation and experience in
Kansas, he has shown a leaning to the Republi
can side. Well, there is Col. Holiday, Mayor
Of Topeka. He was prominent Democrat when
he went to Kansas, and claims to be one yet, Of
the old fashioned JefFersonian stamp. Let the
editor seek an interview with.Mayo Holiday, and

Or il Col. Holiday is not good witness, 4et

tor is tremendous " freedom shrieker." He
will give the editor of the Bay State string Of
facts that viii make his hair stand up. Then,
there is Lieut.. Gov. Roberts, an old fashioned
Democrat who would be able to give much vaua-
Bile information to our brother editor. AHthese
are brother Democrats, once certainly in high
standing in the party, and we know no reason
way they should not be so now.
Butthe fact is, Democratic editors don want
to know the startling, appalling facts in respect
to Kansas. They don't want the rank and file
their party to know them-they fear, as we'll
they may, the consequences. Honest Democrats
viii not justify fraud robbery and murder for the

The HoRTIcULTuRAL EXHIBITION. - The
eighteenth annual exhibition of the Worcester
County Horticultural Society vas opened last
evening at the Society's hall in trout street, and
although all the articles entered for exhibition
had not arrived, the display was very large and
beautiful, and attracted very large number of
visitors, If coming events cast their shadows be-
fore with any real definite outline of what the
events are to be, we should say that the prospect
was, that the present exhibition will exceed all
previous ones in the number of entries and the
quantity and quality of the fruits, flowers, and
vegetables offered for exhibition. Some of the
contributors display more than hundred varie-
ties of pears and there apples and other fruits
there that would have tempted good mother Eve
to have sold out Adam to the devil for the sake of
a bite, even if she had been much better woman
than she really was at the time she made his &C
quantance in the garden where 'they sewed fig
leaves together for want of something to
wear" If any stranger leaves town today with
out visiting the horticultural exhibition, he will
never know, perhaps, how much the people Of
Worcester county have done, and are still doing,
to mitigate ''the fall ofman' and the curse upon
Adam, by making Paradise of their front yards
and gardens of Eden of the little spots land
in the rear of their houses.

CATTLE SHOW AT FRAMINGHAM-The Middle
sex Agricultural Society held their fourth annual
exhibition at birmingham yesterday, and will
continue it to-day. Last year the society built
large wooden building upon their grounds, SINH
lar to Agricultural Hall in this city. Their hort-
cultural show is held in this building, in connec-
tion with the exhibition of the CATTLE The show
of fruits and vegetables is very good, and large in
proportion to the population represented. Apples
looked the best, but the crop of these is small in
that vicinity. Grapes were poorly represented
The vegetables were large and of many varieties,
some Of them being raised from seed obtained at
the Patent Office, and proving by their good quail
tiles the value of the system of distribution adopt
ed there. There we're some specimens of sorghum
sucre, and the syrup manufactured from it. One
gentlemen has made an estimate that an acre of
land will produce lbs gallons of syrup (worth say
$500 at an expense of production equal to the cost
of raising corn: the cost of making is less than
that of making maple-sugar
The collection of animals is good, horses per-
Aaps excelling. OF cattle the Devon breed pre-
dominated, but there were some other choice va
rieties, The State Farm sent few of its valua-
bic COWS, which are now well known through the
State, for instance, Cora and Milton
To-day will present the greatest attractions for
visitors to the grounds. The ploughing-match
takes place at 10 o'clock. The society and their
guests will sit down to dinner, at which Rev.
I. Starr King will deliver the address. Governor
Gardner and N. P. Banks will be present. and will
doubtless "defne their position, from an agricul.
tural point Of view. The farmers of South Mid
diesex, and especially of birmingham, take u COM
mendable pride in the prosperity of their society
and the promotion Of agriculture.

A RAILROAD INCIDENT -DoN'T SORT Pro.
PIE IN o AIo.-A correspondent of the Balti-
more Patriot, writing from Cincinnati, relates
the following incident as occurring on the
Little Miami Railroad, few days since
We had among the passengers gentleman
with his family, residing in Memphis, Tenn,
and who were now returning from a summer
tour. l afterwards learned he was a distin-
guished attorney in the city. Soon after we
had left Columbus, family of colored per-
sons took their seats in the rear of the ladies'
car.
They appeared to belong to the s'upper
ten, or "tea party class of that race. One
of the men, noticed, welded handsome
gold headed ebony cane, and the old woman
looked as neat as a new pin, with a friled
cap border as white as chalk. But for the
incident. 1t is the custom on this train to
furnish passengers at short intervals with ice
water, and this devolved on a negro man.
His practice was to enter the car in the rear,
and pass through it backwards. The South
ern gentleman with his daughter, were sitting
on the seat in front of ne, and seeing the
waterman entering, he turned and spoke to
me, wondering if he would furnish the dar-
kies first.
AS soon as he entered the cars he began
with this negro family, and then passed the
same glasses to the "white ladies and gem
men," This so incensed the Memphis gem
tleman, that when the negro reached his seat
he asked him if that was the way they served
persons here, by waiting upon the blacks
frsts This question had such an effect upon
the waiter, that it would be impossible to
portray his phiz. Powers could produce his
Greek Slave, and Barbec his Coquette, but
neither of them ever had a better subject for
the display of their chisel, than was then por-
trayed by this whiskered "gemman of color"
He hesitated a moment, and with feelings of
mingled disgust and pride, with good deal
of the Tom Hyer in both, replied, awe don't
sort people in this State" The tone, express
sion and eloquence of the speaker were SO
rich, that my Southern friend was compelled
TO smile it all away. enjoyed the scene ex-
ceedingly, and although sympathizing with
my Memphis friend in his feelings, could
not but be amused at the matter and manner
of the INTERCEPTED. Since then 1 have be.
come better acquainted with my Southern
friend, and find HIM a very amiable man, and
owner OF a number of slaves, and we have had
several hearty laughs over the incident Just
referred to.

Losr IN HB-CoRN.-Daniel s. Morrison was
recently lost in an immense cornfeld in Hot
Spring county, ArkanEas, and wandered about
for three days trying to find his way out He
vas found on the fourth day by his negroes, who
went out to Seurch for him. An exchange thinks
that Mr.. Morrison might possibly have imbibsd
some q the corn juice, in the shape Of whiskey,
before he wandered into the field, which would
sufficiently account for such singular ObfusticA-
ton Of his bump Of locality.
