miscellaneous Summary.

! Tnr FAlRs.-We could not fnd time 10 attend
tie Cnlumbiana County Fair, but we hear it spoken
of in terms Vi high commentator. The display
in all departments Of industry was respectable and
10 many Of them very good, and the attendance
large showing an increasing interes. in the i'm
provements which the association has 10 view.
The SALEM FAIR me. no. only the expectations
OF its friends but was quite equal to their hopes.
The hall was found altogether too small for the
rich display OF flowers, fruits, vegetables, and spec
mems of mechanical and domestic industry,--or-
namental and useful. The exhibition of cattle,
horses and sheep was excellent, Especially the
formcrl, as was also the display Of agricultural and
other implements while sobriety aud good order
prevailed everywhere on the grounds.
The Pittsburgh papers represent the State Fair
held this week in that city, as much better than
any preceding one in the State.
AN APPALLING CATAsTRoPBE. Lat arrivals et
the eastern ports give some details of q most ap-
paling calamity-the burning of the Austria, at
sea, II steamer on its way from Hamburg via
Southampton to New York. Out OF six hundred

We subjoin the Telegraphic account.
A passenger reports that at a little after 7
o'clock, 7. M, on the 18th, a derse volume vi
smoke burst trom the after enterance Of the steer

IexceptItg u ieH gentlemen, who must have been

iumlgating the steernge with burning tar, under
the superintendence Vt the fourth officer.
To BE PIrIED.-The editor of the Cleveland
ffd'Hdedfer Is a man to be conduled with. Mis-.
fortunes seem to settle on his head. A short time
SINCE he lost an eye, then Old Buck took IF his of.
hcihl head, and now the Democracy have nomin,
ated him Tor Congress in a District where he
has no possible chance Of election. We fear that
gray VIII he forced to exclaim like one of old,
My punishment is greater than | can bear"
Our government lands cost one dollar an acre
IN un average, and champaign costs two dollars
a oouie. Many a man dies landless, who
during his lie has swallowed a low nship-trees
and all.
The WHISKY DEMocRAcY.-The Statesman, Mr..
Coxs home organ, makes the following semi.
%ufhelal announcement. ~ltsays:
The fanatical, Maine liquor law concern, the
Siafe journal, Is opposed to S. s. Cox. because
he Is DOT for a prOhibitory law. Ii thinks il il a
dreadful crime to make, sell or use whisky. 1t
wants to know Of us whether Cox likes good old
Bourbon. We can assure il that he does. The
Old Chief James Buchanan, likes Monongaheia,
and the Democracy likes them both"

the English in That country. Tho large number
OF English tourists who have visited Ireland this
wear seem TO have contributed to this feeling.
The agricultural prospects of the country are also
very promising. A Dublin journal says;
Wheat is one Of the beat crops ever seen in
lrelnnd. The yield is heavy, the quality good
ana 1t has been garnered in excellent condition.
All doubts about the potatoe are ct an end, and
never was the crop more productive. The green
crops too. which now form So important q feature
IN our improved agriculture, will yield q heavy
return this year tuinips, mangolds, etc. are OF
such superior bulk and quality that even the farm.
ers themselves are satisfied aud have nothing to
grnmble at but the fact that abundant crops bring
low prices. Still, however, the prices of agricul,
'ural produce are highly remunerative and be.
