Last evening; at the residence of D. W. Mnnroe, Esq, by Rev. Lewis Garrett, MT. Russ EVANS to Miss NANNIE HOOKER, all of Des Arc.
 We congratulate our newly married friends in their wise choice-changing from the state of "single dolefulness" to that of "double blessedness." May our friend Evans find his lovely bride all that his fancy has painted her," and may she prove "help-mate," such as shall make their future years doubly blessed in all things pertaining to earthly happiness The happy couple left last night on the steamer Gen. Pike, on their bridal tour, accompanied by number of their friends. " But happy they the happiest of their kind Whom gentler stars unite, and in one fate Their hearts, their fortunes, and their beings

 SIR JOHN FRANKLM The Nashville Daily Nesos, in speaking of the Arctic steamer Fox, having rstlrned from Eng land, says that interesting relics and rec ords of the Franklin expedition were found. At Y" Point Williams was found a record dated April 25h. lS4S. signed by Capts. Crozier and FN2 James. saying that the Eerebus and Terror were aban- doned three days previously in the ice, and that one hundred and five survivors were proceeding to Great Fish River i; that Sir John Franklin had died in June of the previous year, and that the total deaths to date were 9 officers and Is men. Many interesting relics were found on the western shore of King Williams Island. Others were obtained from the Esqumaux, who stated that after the abandonment of the ships, one was crush ed by the ice and the otler was forced on shore. Several skeletons of Franklin's men, quantities of clothirg, and a dupli- cate record up to the abanionment of the ship, were discovered. l. La Grange Monitor.

THE HARrER's FERRY Rror.-We give place in our columns to ibe tele- graphic news in reference to the recent riot at Harper's Ferry, Virginia. Brown, the devil incarnate, who seems 10 have headed the reasonable outbreak, will, we hope, receive his just due--he should be hung as high as Haman, and his aiders and abetlors. such as Gerrilt Smith and his whole train, should be made to follow suit, as soon as the breath leaves Browns body. Our exchanges very justly declare that this was the most outrageous affair of the kind that ever occurred in the United States, in which the lives of not only men, but that of women and children would have been jeopardised.

THURSDAY-ru1Rp DAY.

l \. The weather in the morning was bright, cheerful and bracing in the afternoon quite warm, the attendance much larger than the previous day. The crowd of ladies was larger than even that of pre- vlous years. We never despair in any undertaking upon which our fair country men bestow their smiles and cheering presence. This was emphatcally the gala day of the Fair. The display of s,ock-the gallant bearing of the various gentlemen who "pulIed the strings" in exhibiting harness stock, or showing their proficiency in "reining their steeds" as equestrians, drew forth the accamations of the crowd, as each made the circuit of the ring.
 Although, as we learn, strenuous exef- lions were made to discourage an attend ance at this, the Third Annual Fair of the Society, and various reports were put in circulation calculated to create unwar- ranted prejudice. still the friends of Agri- cultural Exhibitions have been fully sus- tained, and the utility and practicablity of Annual Fairs, has become l" fixed fact in the minds of the people. Those who are not members of tbs Society have no right to find fault, and we suggest that every farmer, mechanic, and resident of the county, come forward, as soon as the books are open, pay their dollar and join the Society, and thereby enable them- selves to have full voice in its manage ment, at the next Annual Fair.
 Below we give list of premiums, &c., as furnished us from the books of the Society.

WEDNESDAY-sEcoND DAY.

The genial rays of an autumnal sun, with bracing atmosphere ushered in the opening of the second day. The fresh accessions the previous evening, and in the morning-the throng upon the streets the arrival of vehicles with their precious freight of lovely women = told plainer than language can express it, (although many had prophecied q failure, that the spirit of encouraging Agricultural Exhi- bitions was yet predominant in the minds of the people of Prairie and adjacent counties. At 9 o'clock nearly every seal in the enclosure was filled, and hundreds were standing, interested lockers on at the proceedings. The second day passed off satisfactory to all, and although the crowd was not as large as that of last year, yet, we could not discover any less interest than at previous exhibitions.

THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION
 OF THE Prairie County Agricultural Society
TuESDAY FIRST DAY.


 As announced last week the Third Annual Exhibition of the Prairie County Agricultural Society opened al the Far Grounds in Des Are, on Tuesday the 18th inst. On Monday heavy rain, accom- panied with storm, gave unmlstakable indications that the crowd would be small on the first day; nevertheless a very re- spec,able number assembled on the Grounds at o'clock, P. M.
 Alter the usual announcements and formalties by the officers of the Society, Col. o. H. OATES was introduced to the audience by the President, who proceeded to address them about an hour. in a speech which was in every point of view eredi- table to his head and heart. He demon strated the great advantages to be realised from Agricultural and Mechanical Asso- citations, and urged in an eloquent and forcible manner the necessity of the cattti- uation of the mind to enable man prop erly 10 cuitivate Me soil. His arguments in support of the agricultural and mechani- cal masses of the country were peculiarly appropriate-showing that the tlller of the soil was pursuing vocation ordained by Providence, and that upon his exertions and prosperity depended the very exist ence of the human family. After the ad- dress, J. c. WARNER, Marshal, announced the lists for Wednesday, which closed the first day.

OFFICIAL VorE OF MIssIssIprI.--In this number, says the Missssippian," :" will be found the official vote for State officers complete, except in the Governors election. From q number of counties no returns were made 10 the Secretary of State, of the result in the Gubernatorial election, they having been forwarded un- der seal to the Governor to be opened and counted by the Legislature. We will at- tempt to supply the omission hereafter.- By these returns it will be seen that the foremost candidate on the Democratic ticket leads the foremost Opposinonist %, ,l05 votes.
