tural Fair, at Westboro, was held on Wednes-
day, September 49, The day was beautiful,
the God of Nature seemed to smile upon the
tables in the Town Hall, loaded with every
kind of fruit tempting and delicious and, not
wlthstanding the admonition placed all along,
''hands off," it was almost impossible to heed it,
the fruit was so tempting, and if mother Eve
could have seen it she would not have been un.
der the necessity to get the evil one to tempt her
to partake of the forbidden fruit-she would
have had one peach, at least. The awards we're

ALBANY, Oct. 1.-The American State
Commissioners met today at the Delavan
House. Hon. Daniel Ullman and other out
siders, and all the State candidates except
Canal Commissioners were present. A let
ter from Ex- Gov Hunt to the Ratification
meeting, fixed for this evening but postponed
to next week was read. The letter strongly
endorses the American candidates, and de-
clares that that the Americans had no alter
native after the action of the Republicans
but to nominate separate ticket. The ac-
ceptance of all the candidates on the Ameri
can ticket was then pressed. Those present
stated that while none Of them acre anxious
for office, they all felt bound to place them
selves IN the hands Of their friends and
stand the result of the contest. During the
meeting of the Committee large number of
Republican politicians were present at the
Delavan House, but no talk of union took
place inside Of the meeting.

The SOCIETY IsLANDs.-By San Francis
co papers we perceive that two OF the Societ6
Islands have formally applied for admission
into the American Union, or begged the Uni.
ted States government to take pity on their
condition and furnish for them a good gov
eminent. 1t appears. by letters of June 9th,
that King Iomatoa, son of Pomare, Queen
oil Tahiti, who about year previous had been
install led as ruler over the islands of Raiatea
and Iahae, had been deposed from office bv
the the Governors of those islands, thew hav-
ing the power of making and un making
kings. Tomatoa ", who has reached the ma.
ture age of fourteen years, made no obiec-
tons, and departed for home with his moth
er, who had been frustrating at his Court.
After celebrating few days, the Governors
OF the lslands seeing the utter folly of ap-
pointing kings who invariably violated the
rights OF their subjects, came to the conclu
sion to offer the isauds to the United States
and ask admission into the American Union,
ccordingly, on the 25th Of Nav, the Gov.
ernors invited Mr.. Henry Owner, United
States Consul, to a dinner, at which letter
rendering the islands to the Unites was given
to him to be forwarded to Washington. The
English and French representatives on the
islands were much incensed at this course.
and the commander OF French shin even
went so far as to capture and carry to Tahiti
two American gentlemen who had been prom
lnent in The affair, but they were subsequent
ly released. The letters speak Of the islands
as the finest in the world, and the hartford as
unsurpassed. 1t might seem that all orr gov
eminent has to do in the matter s,to accept
the offer SO generously rendered, and send out
a governor, who should be backed by ship
ot-war. But it should be remembered that
france exercises protectorate over these isl
ends and will have something to say in the
matter.
