The Fair at Craftsbury.

The fair at Craftsbury last Tuesday
came off according to programme. We
were in attendance, and now proceed TO
express our opinion of it as we promised
to do last week. 1t was far ahead of
any fair that has ever been held within
the borders of Orleans County. That
fact was conceded by all. Never was
there so great a show of cattle at any
three fairs held in the county, and there
were ten times as many cattle at Crafts
bury as there has been at either of the
two last state fairs. We stated last week
that we did not believe they could at
Craftsbury beat the people of the Mis-
sisquoi Valley, but it has been done and
done handsomely. Albany alone eclips-
ed the Valley, for her sons rode on to the
tair ground drawn by Seventy.1fre pairs
of oxen, besides which team she present
ed for the inspection of the multitude
fair share of sheep, yearlings, bulls, &C.,
and being honOrably represented in the
ladies' department. Albany will take the
banner over any other town in the State
for being on hand at any respectable gath
ering. Just give the word, blow the
bugle, and they are there. She not only
presented great number of articles.
but they were mostly good. There is
that about the people of Albany we can
but admire. They all hang together
are of one mind, and by this unity of
action they are enabled to do great
things.
Among the many notable things we
may mention a fine specimen of pen
manship by II. Harlegh Hill of Crafts
bury. 1t was well executed and showed
a correct eye and practiced hand. We
also noticed a couple of specimens of
monochromatic painting by Mrs. James
Paddock of the same town. They show
ed a high degree of art, especially the
storm at sea, which we consider the most
natural of the two, though perhaps not,
SO beautiful as the other.
There was another specimen of mon
ochromatic painting by Miss L. Z. Ste
vens' not inferior to those of Mrs. Pad
dock.
There were two specimens of boquets.
made from the leaves of various flowers
and pressed upon paper; these showed

Kidnapping.

AT an early hour on Wednesday MORN
ing of last week, one Uriah G. Griggs. a
citizen of North Troy, was kidnapped
and with force carried across the line
into Canada, as is supposed, by one o.
Brien, a Canadian, and several accom-
plices. Said GrigSs was then seized by
the Queens officers on charge of arson
filed against him by said O'Brien-exa-
mined eTparte before magistrate Gilman
-injudiciously, adjudged guilty, and in
default of bail was committed to Montreal
Jail to await his trial before the Queens
Bench. On Friday, O'Brien was ar
rested in behalf of the State while at
tending the races at Barton, on charge of
kidnapping said Griggs, and taken for
examination before Justice Robinson at
North Troy. The attorney for the
State plead a continuance on account of
the decoying of State evidence by some
unprincipled persons, which was grant
ed. The defense then waived examina-
ton, and O'Brien was released on bail
to receive his trial at the next session of
the Orleans County Court in December.

and various articles of clothing and equip
ment discovered, it appears that the aban-
Comment of the Erebus and Terror had
been deliberately arranged, and every
effort exerted, during the third winter,
to render the travelling equipment COM
plete. 1t is much to be apprehended
that disease had greatly reduced the
strength of all on board, far more, per-
haps, than they themselves were aware
of. The distance by sledge route from
the position of the ships when abandoned
to the boat is So geographical miles, and
from the ships to Montreal Island, 220
miles. The most perfect order seems to
nave existed throughout. The Franklin
expedition, which numbered 1873 souls,
sailed from England in May, 1916, and
nothing definite, till now has been accur-
ately ascertained of its movements or fate
later than July of the same year, when
the fated Erbus and Terror were spoken
by a passing whaler. One Of the several
expeditions fitted out by government with
the view of relieving or ascertaining the
fate of the missing adventures, discovered
in 1851, traces of their winter quarters
in 1856, at Beechy Island, and in 1854,
DR.. Rea found among the Esquimaux on
the west shore of Boothia certain relics of
the expedition, and was told that a party
of white men had persisted of starvation
in that neighborhood four years previous
ly.
They lad been seen, it was said by ma
tives, dragging boat on the north shore
OF King Williams Sound. The intelli-
gence now received would seem in confir-
nation of that obtained by DIR. Rea the
localities in the two accounts appear to be
the same; and the discrepancy of dates
Captain McClintock's news being to the
effect that the crews abandoned their ships
so early as 1S48-is probably to be ex-
planned by the looseness of the Esoui-
maux notions of times and seasons.

Death of Senator Broderick.

1t will be seen by our Geographic dis
patches that Hon. David C. Broderick,
one of the United States Senators from
California, died on the 10th ult., from a
wound received in a duel with David S.
Terry, Ex-Chief Justice of California. on
the 18th ult., near San Francisco, This
deplorable affair had its rise during the
late embittered political canvass in that
State. AS long ago as June last, Mr.. Brod.
erick, at hotel in San Francisco, got into
controversy with a personal friend Of
Judge Terry, who had spoken harshly OF
him in the Democratic State Convention,
and in the course of the conversation Mr.,
Broderick spoke of Judge Terry as a cor
rupt man. The friend of the latter sent a
challenge, which Mr.. Broderick declined
for several reasons. As one of them related
to the pending canvass, Judge Terry took
the first opportunity. as soon as the cleo
ton was over, and while Mr.. Broderick
was smarting under the defeat of his party.
to renew the quarrel by sending a chal-
lenge himself Mr.. Broderick accented
and notwithstanding the utmost efforts of
the seconds to settle the difficulty without
resort TO arms, a meeting was arranged
for the 18th ult. But the parties on that
day were arrested. On the next, however.
they consummated their fatal purpose.
when Mr.. Broderick was shot through
the lungs at the first fire. Judge Terry,
who is a Texan, about 40 years Of age.
escaped unhurt.
This miserable, exeerable tragedy, in
which United States Senator and the
Chief Justice of State were the actors.
will make its own impression, deep and
wide, upon the public mind. The high
standing OF the victim, it is to be hoped.
will augment the adherence which is vet
to sweep the whole bloody system out of
the domain of civilized life. David c.
Broderick spent his early life, in New
York city, where his associations gave
little promise of future eminence. But
when transferred to the new life of Cali
fornia, where every man stood on his own
inherentq ualities, Mr.. Broderick's power
full will, honorable ambition, correct per-
sonal habits and genial disposition, soon
began to tell, and it was not long before
asuccession Of fierce political contests end
ed in his elevation to the United States
Senate. In this position, in spite of his
want of early education, be sustained
himself well, attending faithfully to the
Interests of his constituents, and showing
broad and liberal views on matters Of ma
tional import His noble stand against
the Lecompton policy of his party endear-
ed him to all who loved equal rights.
But it led to bitter feuds with his for
mer party friends in his own State, and
thus sacrificed his life. The full account
OF the melancholy event must precede any
Judgment upon Mr.. Broderick's share in
it.

suppose that our patrons would like to see
the list of premiums awarded at the late
fair of this society, but we are unable to

with report. They ought to have been
in our paper last week, certainly in this
number; but we will keep up good cour-
age; they will reach US by the time the
arrangements are all made for the next
exhibition, when both will be published
together. We are willing to do the fair
thing when we have a chance, but it is
neither right nor proper to have the list
OF premiums Withheld from the public

Big Stories.

GREAT YIELD OF WHEAT.--Ezra
Wilcox of Albany, has raised the pres
ent season sixty bushels of wheat from
two acres of ground. Said wheat is good
and clean. If any one in the county has
done better than this, let US know it. We
want to know what our subscribers have
been about the past summer.
OATS AND PEAs.-The same gentle.
man has raised 25O bushels of oats and
peas from five acres OF ground.
BETTER STILL.-Schyler E. Wilcox
a son of the above named gentlemen
has had the disrespect to beat his sire
numerically, for he has raised sixty-fve
bushels of oats and peas from three
fourths of an acre of ground. We CUES:

1t was threshed by Hyde and Bedee
who took the Hide of the kernels in

A SMART HEY.-Mr. Lorine Frost
OF Coventry has hen from which he
worried an egg not long since, thai
measured 6 1-2 inches the shortest way
and s "a inches the longest way, and il
lacked but a grain or so of weighing five

considerable taste, and were the work Of
Mrs. Dustin, an old lady, we believe.
Of quilts there was large show. and
all of them were worked with much taste
though we can paricularise but few only.
those we think rather the best. One by
Abigail Whittemore, of Albany, and an
other by Mrs. J. Walbridge, also of Al.
bany, showed fine taste. Mrs. Merriam
of Glover, deserves the premium for
oddity. Hers was queer guilt, and she
had evidently bestowed great amount OF
labor upon it. We ike hers because she
stepped aside from the beaten track and
presented the committee an original de-
sign.
Of dairy products there was quite a
large show, though we took but little no.
tice of them. We did however take par
ticular notice of the butter made by Mrs.
A. NJ. Kendall of Craftsbury. This was
the incest lot Of butter that we ever saw,
and it was put up in the incest shape for
exhibition. II lacked but just one thing
to make itgo down well with spectators ;
there was no bread with it.
There was large show of horses, and
not a poor one in the lot. Mr.. Hayden
of Albany, presented a two years old
Abdallah; he has an excellent figure for
a colt. Mr.. A. A. Randall of Craftsbury,
also exhibited a splendid two years old,
well built, and weighing over 100 lbs.
Mr.. Nelson Rand of Crafsbury, showed
a fine pair Of matched horses; and L. D.
Woodbury. of the same town, presented
that favorite among horse raisers, " Nor
gan jim" a good stallion. Mr.. Simeon
Bates was also on hand with his noble
Morrills. Mr.. A. P. Bean of Glover,
showed beautiful black stallion. But
we have not time for further comments
on this truly great and successful fair
We hope our patrons are as well satisfied
with them as we are with the show
Everything passed off pleasantly, and a
smile sat upon the countenance of every
one. One other fact is worthy of notice.
We did not see a case of drunkenness
during the day, which is not always so in
such mixed multitude.
We will close by saying of the hotel
keeper of Craftsbury, what we said Of
those of Troy, good dinner for man and
horse could be had for what it was worth,
and we think Mr.. Carpenter made money
at that. May he live to grow fat upon
the profits of last Tuesday.

SOUTHERN FACToRIEs.-In an ar
ticle on this subject, the New Orleans
Picayaae shows that the Southern States
have accomplished far more than they re-
ceive credit for, in the way of manufac-
turing their own cotton and wooden goods,
while steady progress is making in this
direction. 1t says:
In South Carolina, as far back As
1850, there were eighteen cotton factories.
which were worked with profit.
In Georgia, thirty-five cotton factories
then were in full operation, with capi-
tai Of S1,736,156, producing 7,2O9, 292
yards of sheetings and 4,19S,35I pounds
of yarn. Three wooden factories were
also in full tide, of successful experiment,
manufacturing S4O,66O yards of cloth.
In Alabama were found thirteen cotton
factories, with capital of 1851, 900, and
three wooden factories, which returned
handsome annual profits.
In Louisiana a beginning had been
made, two cotton factories having COM
menced operations.
Kentucky and Tennessee had embark.
ed more largely in this species of indus
try, the former containing eight cotton
and twenty-seven wooden factories, the
latter thirty-three cotton and four wooIeny
factories.
These facts, true in 1850, do not pre-
sent the condition of Southern manufac-
turing enterprise in 1859. We have
made progress in this department of in
dustry really creditable, and the infu-
ence of the success of such undertakings
upon public sentiment will undoubtedly
render our advance in manufacturing for
our home wants noticeable point of the
next census"

Brownsville Attacked by GuerilIas.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 10.-Advices
from Brownsville, Texas, are received
stating that that place was attacked on
the 2Sth ult, by band of Guerillas, who
killed five citizens, broke open the iail
and freed all the prisoners. The most
intense excitement prevailed, and the
Mexicans sent aid from Matamoras. The
guerillas were beaded by Cartenas, who
shot the Sheriff of Brownsville last july
while he was attempting to arrest him.
A party of outlaws, 100 strong, rode
through the city on horseback, and post
ed sentinels. Gen. Caravaial and others
from Matamoras arrived and persuaded
them to leave.
Fort Brown was garrisoned with
Mexican troops from Matamoras, and
the citizens formed a patrol to keen
watch on the outlaws, who were encamp-
ed near the city 200 strong. The Mex
lean General visited their camp and
obtained promise from them that they
would not modest the city any more
The citizens, however, still expect an
other attack, as the outlaws boosted they
had more on the list to kill. An express
had been sent to San Antonio for troops.
The Brownsville Flag, in an extra.
thanks the military and civil authorities
of Matamoras for their aid, and blames
the Government for leaving them de-
fenceless.
The Sheriff, with posse, came down
to Point Isabel, with the Arizona's mails.
The cause of the difficulty is said to be
desire on the part of Cartenas to re-
venge injuries which he alleges he has
received. The citizens Of Brownsville
had mostly fed to Matamoras, having
no faith in the promises of the outlaws
that they would not mOlest them any
more.

in this city passed off quietly to-day. 1t
is said that an annoying mistake was made
in the tickets of the Peoples party the
tickets folded for one part of the city being
sent to another, and vice versa and also
that large numbered them were voted
before the mistake was discovered. The
Assembly tickets thus polled out of the
proper district will be lost.

show large opposition gains over last year,
when they carried the county by 1900
majority.
