LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

PrpDLERs-1his portion Of the State seems to be,
at the present time flooded with pedders Of all sorts
of goods. Their wares generally are very imperfect
in quality and are sold at almost any price that can
he obtained Less evil would result from ratroizing
this class Of dealers the purchasers good judges
Of the merchandise offered for sale. As it is too many
persons take the goods upon the recommendation OF
the peddlers and when they come to use Them they
find cut their utter worthlessness. But they make
this discovery too late. The seller has gone never
return and they are lef, without remedy. IT, on the
other hand they purchased Of the regular dealers in
their vicinity they would be able to obtain just such
goods the articles represented to be, or failing
in that, they could obtain redress.
We have been induced to make these remarks from
learning that some Of the towns in this county have
recently been fooled with very inferior and almost
worthless article Of stoves. The peidcrs of this ar
tclo have lot Of very poor goods hand that they
are bound to sell at any price hey get The pur-
chascrs WILL in nearly all cases be deceived and cheat
ell by trusting to the recommendation Of these ire
sporsille dealers. The same game hes been tried in
other parts Of the county heretofore, and such has
uniformly been the result.
The regular merchant is the man to be patronized.
lie is one Of own citizens helps pay the taxes
that support cur government and It's institutions
Having character for honesty and fair-dcaling TO
maintain it is for his interest TO deal honestly by his
customers If they happen to get an article which
proves not 50 good as they paid for they either
turn 1t or get proper reduction made in tie price.
They know always where to find the merchant and
can hold him responsible for his actions On the 9TH
er hand, the pedder is rowing individual. lie does
not pay taxes nor has he any interest maintain
reputation for honesty. His object dispose Of his
goods Mt the best price he can get II he palm Oh
All inferior article NJ large profit much the better
for his purpose. To neglect tie honorable and honest
merchant Tor the purpose of paironzing such class
of tnerants is not only very poor policy but in the
end, very Improbable business.

22nd and 2Sd days of september sullivan Park"

scale that must be satisfactory 10 exhibitors and
visitors.
Hon. Caleb Gushing of Massachusetts, has we are
informed, been engaged to deliver the annual address
before the Society. The distinguished ability and ex
tended fame Of the orator Will prove an attractive
feature Of the Fair. Halls Boston Brass Band will
furnish the musical part Of the entertainment
This society is comparatively in its infancy and
was last year particularly unfortunate. But under
better management, such as it enjoys, it is des-
tined TO take high rank among SIMILAR associations
Its operations extent Of country second to no
other in New England in its adoption to agricultural
and other industrial pursuits. The valley of the Con-
necticut river from Canada Massachusetts, is dotted
with some OF the most magnificent farms in the Union
In This region may be found good stock, including
nearly all varieties, ms the country can pro uce.-
There seems then to be reason why the above Fair
should not be worthy the attention Of visitors from all
parts of New England.
