On Friday night Of last week our village
was visited by the scycrcst fire that ever oc-
Cured here. About halfpast eleven o'clock
our citizens were aroused hy an alarm Of fire;
and FASTENED forth to find the long row Of
barns and out-buildings connected with the
establishment Of Hon. Moses Kit,rcdgc to
be in a bright flame. Our fire department
was promptly on hand but as there were no
reservoirs in that part of THE village, the wa
ter from wells in the vicinity was quickly ex-
haustcd-nnd the frcmen were obliged TO
stard by their machines ready and aching
to work, yet incapable for the most part, Of
rendering the least service, more than pro-
tccting other buildings inithc vicinity. The
progress Of the flames was checked in some
degree by tearing off part Of the roof OF the
shed connecting the house and barns, and by
throwing on water, brought in pals, and
from one Of the engines stationed near; but
the fire gradually made advancement, and
crept slowly, but no less surely, along the
roofs Of the barns and shed, til il reached
the house, aud the whole structure was con-
sumed, save the walls, which were left stand
ing in n tolerable state OF preservation.
There we're two horses in the barn, which,
together with hay, grain, and farming tools,
were consumed. The furniture of the house
was saved. Loss about $50O0-no insur-
nnce.
Judge Kittredges residence was one of the
finest in our town. and its destruction is not

loss to our village; and we mistake public
sentiment if they do not receive the sympa-
thies of our citizens in their present misfor-
tune.
The worst feature connected with [ Is fire.
is the probability that it was set by an incen-
diary. 1t is hardly possible to believe that
there is wretch here so base as to do so
dastardly an act-but SOFT looks now. There
had been no light carried into the barn for
weeks, and the location Of the fire when first
discovered would seem to dspel all doubts,
If there were any, as to its origin. Mr.. Stew
art, the hired man, was awakcd hy the smoke
and etackling flames. He reached tho barn
about the same time as did some of the neigh
bors, but too late TO save the horses. as the
fire had surrounded chem. The noighbors
rushed into the house and removed every
thing valuable. that was movable, long before
the fire reached the house. "
Perhaps all that could be dong under The
circumstances, to stop the fire, was done but
it seemed to us-and no doubt it did to many
that the destruction of the house was UNI
necessary with the number of people present
and the facilities at their command. There
were people enough present to have brought
water in pals from private cisterns ami wells
in the nuighborhood to have supplied one or
more engines for hours. Or, If the shed con-

For the Farmers.

We have seen the working Of curious
little machine, called Nu,ting's Patent Fan
ming and Asserting Machine. It's machine
for asserting and thereby cleaning, all kinds
ofgrain. We saw lot of wheat, containing
considerable foul seed, run through one of
these mills and assorted into six different
drawers, according to the size Of seed The
first drawer contained nothing but full grown
plump wheat. The second contained the
wheat that was slightly shrunken, and the
next drawer still smaller seed The Chroni-
Gle says Of this machine,
"Thc results to the agriculture of the coun-
try, Of the general use of such a machine, We
mast leave it to the farmer to imagine. He
may not only get PURE seed for planting. but
may select the most perfect kernels of wheat,
the finest peas and beans, &c, thus secure.
IN regard to every crop, the advantages

seed corn, and the choice of the best animals

The Cale donla County Fair will bo held at
the Fair Ground in. this place, on 'Wedne'-
day and Thurhdly of next geek Sept -
and 20. Il II expected that the Fair will be
equal In attractions 20 any held IN preee-
ding years, and the purpose on the part Of
the managers 10 to excel all previous exhibit
tQns,
Il Is desired that the. ladNs In al parts Of
the county NAV interest themselves in max
ing their department attractive The large
room occupied by them last year was crowd
ed with articles, and though their show was
brilliant, We hope 70 see Il oxcellcd this year
More ROOM Il rs intended, will be allowed
them this year In the large show building
and We are sure they will not fail to occupy
all they can obtain,
In the exhibition Of cattle and horses, no
diminution r. approhcnded, The interest ~
ready manifestod indicates Improvement, and
with the fine specimens Of stock and horses
In the hands Of the farmers the show should
eclipse all heretofore held in the county.
We notice several elegant horses about the
village, In the cure Of non.residents, appar-
entity In course Of training for the occasion.
VIII not om mechanics see TO il that there
is no falling of in their Department. It can
easily be made interesting Il each one will
but exhibit something he has made.
That the occasion might possess as much
interest as possible, the managers Of the Fair
Ground Company have, through the agency
Of one Of the best judges Of cattle in the
county procured two car loads Of the best
breeds ofKentucky and other Western cattle
for show on both days Of the fair. These
cattle have arrived, and will be within the
Fair Ground enclosure next Wednesday and
lhursday. 1t has been thought that all
uf our people interested IN raising aud see
ing fine stock would bc glad Of the privilege
Of looking over these cattle. aud comparing
them with their own brceds. That the useful

2 We ire opposed to and will discounte.

geographical issues.
8. We sdopt as the code Of our political
morals this rule: "Ts do to others, as we
would they should do TO u.s." s
4. We oppose AboIitionism, Border
Rufianistn, and every other fanstacism
which has tendency to infringe the right
of others.
s. We are in favor Of an economical sys.
TEN Of internal improvements, TO be carried
on Is rapidly as the necessities Of the people
and the state Of the finance may justify.
6. We are opposed to political proscrip-
ton for opinions sake.
Z. We invite conservative men all over
the State to organize on these principles, no
matter what may have been their former
parties, and to evince their opposition to the
wild hunt for Office which chsraetsrizes the
dominant party.
8. Our motto is the Constitution and the
Union now and forever-one and insepara-
bls." -.
The following resolution, in reference to

Hrnr.-The following is from the circu.
lar Of Thos. S. Hayden, Of ST. Louis, under
date Of the 4th:- n .-.
For this important staple, our market
presents no Improvement since date of my
last report. Our city manufacturers will
commence operations before the new Hemp
begins to arrive freely. Sales to limited
exten. only have been made, embracing Q.
bout 500 bales the past week, at $70@$75
for common to fair. Large sales Of Bale
Rope are reported at New Orleans, en-.
bracing 5000 TO 1900 coils; at 6aY7c
for hand.spun and 7@74c for machine.
The prospects for good demand for our
domestic Hemp In the East are not at al
fattering, and prices must rule low to in.
suce its use at all for eorddge purposes, the
bad handling, and inferior quality. the past
few years, has in great measure, thrown
II out Of the market, and foreign Hemp has
been substituted for all the better purposes
Russia Hemp will probably rule low thi,
year, perhaps not over $3.50 for clean St
Petersburg, although quoted now at $2ls
to 1920 y ton in New York, and last sales
of Manila were at 81 cents y fb. Jute i,
offered in New York at $s5 y ton, which
did and wsuld now cost $lO5@$llO to
import, and is still high in CaIcu,ta. but the
stocks on hand and on the way, will be
more than sufficient for the probable de-
mand, at any rate so long as Manila Hemp
rules 50 low Is at present. In my circular
Of the 4.h January, I urged upon our hemp
growers the importance Of giving more care
to the handling and cleaning Of their crops,
which l am happy to learn, they are doing
in some sections OF least, and il is now very
evident, that If more care 10 not exercised
in this respect, that we will be compelled
to look 10 Q mere local demand % Q market
for this great staple. This feature in the
Hemp trade commends itself especially to
the producer. and he only can apply the
remedy. Upon this subject ! would be
pleased TO have d response from every
Hemp-grower in the State. Will you ap-
ply the remedy and remove this objection
urged against our leading simple, for all
shipping and many ether valuable purpo-
ses, for which il is so well adapted, or will
you yield TO foreign Hemp thi, very impor-
taflt INTEREST,"

Right.

The Lexington Express, in speaking Of
the administration and the Lecompton Con-
stItution, and the efforts Of the nationals 70
involve all parties in their difficulties, says:
I'VE again take the occasion 10 warn our
American, and other friends, against the
policy Of committing themselves for or a.
gainst Lecompton. 1t is measure Of one
the rottenest and most corrupt Administra-
lions with which the country has ever been
cursed. 1t is theirs in its incipiency and
maturity, and IT is right that they alone
should settle it, or 60 to pieces for failure
so to do. For ourselves, we are deter.
mined to adhere to our opposition 10 the
Nationals. and do net wish TO see any test
made On this question, leaving all at Liberty
10 think as they please"
-Thi, question has already split the
democratic party, and efforts are being made
10 divide the Americans. They. shouId not
suffer these efforts TO be successful, but
stand united, present good men for Office,
and thus be In position TO take advantage
Of the split in the democracy.
