The next Fair of Jackson county
will probably be held at Andrew, the
citizens of that place having made
very advantageous offer to the Society
on condition that the Fair be held
there. Other places may make offers
which the Society will feel bound to
accept; but if such is the case it will

upon the Office. Accordingly on the
Monday night following, the office
of the Mercury vas broken open and
about so lbs. Of type carried off, which
was set up in a form for printing,
also, two chases, aud IL or IA brass
column rules, besides mixing two pages
of newspaper advertisements and inside
matter into one .incongruous mass
Part of the property thus carried off
was afterwards recovered from the mill
race where it had been thrown.

other residents of the district, who do
not favor that body, have raised the
standard of rebellion. The war was
raging warmly at last account.
