WASHINGTON COUNTY FAIR.

Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were
assigned to cur County Fair--thc two chllicst
days of the Autumn. Nobody would come
out, unless impellod by duty, patriotism, or
particular interest in the Fair and, there
fore, the attendance was not so large as u
address by Rev. Mr. Cushing on Wednes-
day afternoon, and at the report of the pre-
miums, the number far exceeded the general
expectation. The exhibition, in several i'm
portant particulars, was superior to former
County Fairs, and even to the last State cx-
hibition. In horses, it was good and in
cattle unusually good. 1t is certain that the
farmers are materially advancing in this res

partly Durham, which the Committee pro-
nounced to be the best lot of fat cattle they
had ever seen in any Fair, State or County
The show of sheep was also excellent, both
in the fine wool grades and the stock for NUT
ton. In the latter class Hon Daniel Bald
wins Cotswold stock won universal praise.
In this valuable class also should be ranked
the Leicest9rshire and Southdowns, of which
A. j, Mower made a fine show, consisting of
67 lambs. Mr.. NJ. deserves much praise for
introducing so much of this stock, and we
hope the farmers will examine it, We un-
derstand that he intends to furnish sheep Of
this class. In vegetables and fruits, too, this
Fair was superior but for details we must
refer to the next weeks premium list.
One word as to the music those who pre-
for domestic manufacture were fully gratifed.
The managers did not go out of the State, or
the County either, for music, but to the

DEATH OF c. NJ. FLETCHER, ESQ, OF
ORwEIL.-Many of the newspapers, in MOTTO
ing the late sudden death of Mr.. Fletcher,
describe it as suicide, The verdict of the iu-
ny Of inquest does not warrant that asser-
ton does not imply that the chloroform
(Which caused his death was taken with an
infant to cause death and we observe that a
friend of the deceased has been compelled to
contradict the newspaper account through the
Burlington Free Press 1t has been our rule
for some years not to publish cases Of sup
posed suicide, and for two good reasons
The one is to shield relatives and friends
from unnecessary pain, and the other is to
shield the public from fatal epidemic. Sui
eide is, ordinarily but the manifestation of
disease that turks in many minds, and each
public example tempts other sufferers to the
fatal end. Having once observed four or five
instances OF suicide in quick succession in
one noighborhood, our conclusion was that it
would be wise for editors to refrain from Civ
ing unnecessary publicity to such cases and
from that time to this, no notice of suicide
has appeared in the columns of the Watch
man, unless it was for special reasons. or
without our knowledge. We improve" this
occasion by drawing the thoughts of brother
editors to the topic.

The NEw TERRIToRY OF DAcoTAH.-
The last Congress, it will be remembered,
formed new Territory under the name OF
Dacotoh. The independent, published at
Sargeants Bluff, says the territory includes
"A great part of the valley of the Sioux, the
valleys of the James and Vermillion rivers.
and large tracts of beautiful bottom lands ly-
ing ON the Missouri. In regard to the eli
mate, it becomes mider to the westward, SO
much so that the winters in the northwestern
parts of Decotah are said to be not much
more severe than in Northern Pennsylvania.
The prevailing want of this entire region is
timber, Its chief attractions are fertile soil.

mate and it is believed also to possess an
abundance Of mineral coal.
The st. Adams Messenger says that a man
named Daniel Morse died in Fairfax week be-

found short distance from the residence of
his employer by the side of the road, in a dy-

KANsAs.-A correspondent of the St. Louis
Republican gives the following reasons for the
adjournment of the Kansas Constitutions
Convention:
First, That the members desired to attend
to their farming operations at this urgent pc
Rod; and, second, that not knowing exactly
how to proceed, they appointed committee
to draft plans, preambles and articles. to sub
nit to the body for action at their adjourned
meeting
Gen. Jim Lane was lying extremely i'll at
Lawrence on the 10Th, and the Organization of
the militia was therefore temporarily suspen-
ded. OF the weather and crops, it is said
" The weather is fine and seasonable The
hemp is gathered and pronounced Of superior
quality. The corn crop is immense, and ex-
tends almost continuously from Clay county
TO the centre Of Iowa. If an early frost does
not nip that north of MS, there will never
again be scarcity Of provisions in the Mis-
souri, valley, and millions Of surplus will pour
into market"
