" to help Douglas though strongly, suspect ms
sympathles are with the lltte Glant IN his struggles

0pyop0s 6es Jofte, the present indications are that
English will be defeated in his district, which is jqst
over the wav aud the ONO River from this cty lie

To return from this DEPRESSION: have been forcibly
struck with the admirable arrangements and perfect
order which distinguished this agricultural exhibition
and the absence of all confusion, quarehng and bet
ting. do not pretend To say that bets were not
made; but there display of them. No gambling
booths, thmbleriggers, or such monstrosltics were
on the grounds: aud had they ventured there, they
would have been promptly excluded. Eastern people
might take advantageous lesson or two from the
We,'rn arrane neemerts in these particulars; Tor the
"huIfhorse half-aigator" character attributed to
the dweers in the valleys Of the Ohio and Mississippi

There is very large infusion of the Teutonlc in
the population, and no stranger can visit here and at

rage Of the ladies' This is to be attributed to open
air exercise and their exposure to the sun which you
know Bayard Taylor says is as necessary to female
development il il TO the peach, the grape or tue
apple. You the ladies, toward nightiall mere,
walking either barcheaded with light sun-bonnct,
a large flowing cape attached to which covers their
necks and extends below the waist. You can rarely
see freckled woman here, notwithstanding the gen
eral love Of the open air, and IN heir general appear
ance they more closely resembled the maids and

inventions which ranked high; but wish to speak of
their performances a" by authority, when do wrte

there was not much competition this year. though
some articles cf domestic weaving were superb iaO-

bton. wss astOnished to hear a gentleman, haing
from New.Jersey, asking for the stones of some
magnificent peaches TO take home as he declared them
superior to any that could be raised there. This
sounded like carrying Goals 10 Newcastle; but from
the evidence thee OF sight, taste ana

flavor, they equaled the finest from Raybold peach

them all many and many time. This State Is great
fruit country and the farmers every year directing
their attention particularly to this prolific branch
of agricultural wealth..
