THE FAIR.

The late Fair of the Monmouth County Ag-
ricultural Society reflects much credit upon all
concerned. The display was most excellent,
and pronounced superior in many respects to
the State Fair. 1t was the best exhibition we
have ever had, and more largely attended,
In the horse department, the display, both as
regards speed and beauty of animals, was very
fine. Among other attractive features III this
department was a double team of mules en-
tered by MIR. N. W. Morris, Of Manalapan,
who is well known as always keeping good
stock. These mules were admired by every
body, and have been the subject of remark
ever since. The Vegetable department, We
never saw equalled-the portoes in particular.
Every stranger visiting the Fair, pronounced
it a fine affair, and complimented most highly
the articles displayed by our ladies.

hs- An accident occurred on the Mount
Holly Fair Grounds the other day, with a fine
horse belonging to Capt. Dudd., The driver
was exercising him on the course with other
horses, when some one accidentally ran against
his sulkey, tearing off one of the wheels. This
threw the driver to the ground and let the
horse 60 free. He ran with violence about
two-thirds around the track, when he fell and
broke his neck, and died in less than FIVE min
utes. The driver was bruised a little by his
fall, but otherwise uninjured.

False Swearing.

In July last, the house Of Mrs. Wilson. Of
Gallatin county, Ill, was burned to the ground.
and herself aud son, q boy l3 years Of age con-
sumed in it. The position of the bodies when
found, and the general belief that the Wilson's
had considerable money in gold and silver, no
trace of which could be found in the ashes, in
duced the suspicion that the house had been
robbed, and set on fire after the murder of its
inmates. A short time since, some Of the peo-
pie of Gallatiu county became convinced that
one Andy Stewart was concerned in the crime,
and accordingly tied a rope about his neck and
were about to hang him, when he obtained a
respite by promising 20 reveal the names Of his
a~ccomplices, duplicating Peyton Newman,
Henry Aud, three brothers named Brumley,
Fred B~ingaman, and Mcbride, an Irishman,
all of WHOM except the last were arrested
Shortly after, Stewart retracted his statement
SO far as to exculpate all the above mentioned
except Newman, His only excuse for his
abominable perjury was that it was extorted

Accident to Another Steamship.

The Arabia brings intelligence of an acc
dent to another of the Hamburg steamships,

of the present month, the next steamer after
the Austria, exploded her magazine, and 1--WE
of her passengeres were injured. 50 that she
was forced to put back. In the accident of
the Austria, the rapid spread of the flames
was attributed also to the explosion of the
magazine. This should guggest the propriety
of dispensing with magazines altogether, or OF
reducing the quantity of powder on board to
an amount so small, that no danger could
arise from it in any emergency. 1t may be
necessary to fire guns as signals in case of dis
tress, but the firing of salutes on entering or
leaving harbor is not SO important a eeremo-
nv as not to be omitted. F.

The Third district.

The nomination of Hon. Garnett B. Adrian,
by the opposition Convention next Friday,
may now be regarded as q fixed fact. His
speech at Greer's Hall in New Brunswick on
Friday evening last, dissipated every objection
that could possibly be urged against him by
the opponents of the present corrupt and weak
National administration He said that his
name was not before the Lecompton Conven.
ton at Somerville by his authority. He had
known for a long time that he could not be re-
nominated, the fat had gone forth from Wash-
ington that he must be ostricated, because he
had stood up on the floor of Congress in favor
Of the great principle of self government, and
the right of the majority to rule. gia .ob 5
When the Convention laid the resolutions on
the table, they tabled the principles of the
Democratic party, upon which Mr.. Buchanan
and himself was elected. He had been cast
aside by the Lecomptonites, but he declared
that he would never, bow down to James Bu-
chanan nor any other President.
He avowed himself in favor of the tariff for
the protection of American labor-he had
voted to suspend the rules to enable q. Joy
Morris, of Penn, to introduce his resolution
at the last session of Congress in favor of q

elected, he would do all in his power to aid
the manufacturers and laborers of the country.
He referred to the pledges in 1855 in favor
of securing to the people of the territories the
right of self-goverment, and dared any maj to
accuse him Of being unfaithful to that doc.
trine. He challenged his competitor to meet
him on the question if he dare. 100
He had not received the Lecompton nom.
nation, and he was thereby relieved from all
obligations to that party but he had q better
nomination, one free from the infamous lie
compton fraud. He had voted to reject O
government for the people of Kansas, which
the Administration attempted to force upon
them without their consent, and which they
rejected by 10000 majority as soon as they
were permitted to vote upon it, as9 e e
That be will be triumphantly elected is as
certain as anything can be which has not al
ready transpired. The custom house clique,
who secured the nomination of Patterson
may well hide their diminished heads. They
entirely overdid the mark, and Mr.. Buchanan
may thank his own ~servile, sordid tools, fol
the well merited rebuke which he will receive
in November next from the People Of New
Jersey. Not a single Lecomptonite stands Q
ghost of a chance for reelection. = Trenton

community of this State, died in that city on
Monday last, after an ILLNESS ofseveral weeks
from bilious fever. anJ +
The Newark Mercury speaking of Rev. J..

the Warren street NJ. E. Church, died at his
residence in huffman street yesterday. noon.
Mr.. Shaw has been seriously i'll of bilious re-
mittent fever several weeks, but hopes of his
recovery had been entertained until some days
ago, when he began rapidly to fail. He re-
tanned his consciousness TO the last, though
able to communicate with his frienhs only by
signs. Mr.. Shaw was a man of fine Christian
character, and his loss will be deeply regretted
throughout the city. He was a friend of the
poor, an ardent supporter of every good en-
~terprise, and the foe of whatever was wrong.
He was especially a type of the Methodist
minister of the olden time, carrying his relig-
ion with him into all the walks Of life, and by
plain. practical exhibitions Of it, winaing souls
to his Master. His mind was practical, and his
ministry, characterized as it has been, by the
s~everest labors. always brayely borne. was es-
pecially influential upon the masses, which he
principally addressed.
