our County Fair.

Mr.. FDIToR:
County Fairs have become one of the insti-
buttons of the land, and whether for good or
for evil, we will not now say, but where much
good may be accomplished, evil always follows
in the train; and in order that the fairs of our
county u.ay be made as e~fectual and useful as
possible we propose with your permission to
point out a few of the evils as they presented
themselves to a disinterested visitor.
First, let me ask, is drunkenness one of the
necessary appendages, and must we submit to
the erection of a circle of shanties for the sale
of ale within, and poisoning whisky without
our grounds? If so, we will then enter our
solemn protest against all fairs, under all cir
cumstances. This, Mr.. Editor is an evil that
is making rapid strides, and if the drunken
ness witnessed in our village, and on the g%rcunds
on that day is to be repeated next year, we beg
the committee to abandon the holding of fairs
hereafter. On the celebration of the 4th of
July the officers Of our place made arrange
ments to suppress the sale Of liquor on that day.
and as a consequence our town was quiet and
orderly. May not a similar arrangement be
made upon all public days?
En- witnessing the goods on exhibition, we
were much pleased to see the great display of
products oe the soil. 1t was a pleasing sight
after the frost of spring and the drought of
summer to see that the earth had yielded SO
abundantly. Never before had VIC seen such
a growth of vegetation as was exhibited upon
this occasion. But as we were passing around
- r1,oo fba iIaa ooourrad ri of n
better arrangement might be made for the ex-
hibition of contributors and the convenience
of the committees.
The domestic goodsmostly of heavy material,
were thrown together in piles without regard
EQUALITY or quantity. Carpeting, for instance,
an article which is much too heavy for ladies
to examine in such a place, might have been
arranged (as an experienced merchant knows
well how to do,) SO that a sufficient part of
each piece be exposed, and by hanging side by
each other would by comparison assist in the
decision of the committee. In this article
(although not personally interested) we feel
that the decision was by no means correct,
when taking into consideration the small
amount of labor which was bestowed upon the
premium piece compared with others that we've
there. We saw one piece a sample of IA yds.
which by far exceeded any thing of tho kind
ever exhibited here, but by the committee was
scarcely noticed, having been unfortunately
covered by other pieces of far inferior style
and quality.
For Ornamental work, we would recommend
that glass cases be used as security from rude
hands and inelement weather. We were in
formed that an elegantly embroidered cape

FRANcE.-The speech made by the Emper-
or produced a favorable impression. He said
that the French government, which was the
means of restoring the Pope to the Pontifcal
Throne, would only give such respectful oouu-
sells as were directed by it's sincere devotion to
the interest of his Holiness, but it could not be
alarmed about the day which was not far dis
tant, when Rome would be evacuated by the
French troops.
All the Catholic Bishops have reed orders
from Rome to preach in favor of the ~restora-
ton of the Italian Dukes.
The Paris . ournal says that Napoleon is get
ting disguised at the procrastination of Aus
tria in relation to the Italian question and for
the moment French policy i%nclines to a more
intimate understanding with England.

The seeend table should befor the exhibition
of domestic goods, and convcniences for dis
playing them. The outside circle would be
the most desirable place for grains, fruits, and
vegetables, and in case of storm would not be
injured as we're some nice quilts and fancy ar
ticles upon this occasion. We were not a little
amused to see the vegetable kingdom, not only
protected from the weather, but also by a strong
man armed with "cuageT' while the good house
wife must sec her toll and labor of months de-
liberately trampled underfoot; but perhaps Ia
dies are too sensitive and ought quietly to
yield her right to her liege lord.
We would farther suggest that a depot be
provided for the reception of all articles as
they are brought in, and. a committee be ap-
pointed to arrange them in their proper place
for exhibition. And also that a committee of
gentlemen be chosen to examine home manu-
f~acture, as there are those who have had more
experience and are better judges than most Ia
dies, and we think in that case the decision
would be more satisfactory to parties interested.
For fancy articles and ornamental needle
work, ladies would perhaps be the most correct
judges, as they alone can appreciate its worth,
or rather the amount of labor bestowed upon
them. There are young men, however, who
seem to have a passion for fancy goods-as in
case Of one who in sport conveyed away those
tiny stockings mucat to th~ediscomfture of a little
Miss whose feelings were sorely tried over the
loss of her own handiwork. To such we would
say like the fable of the boy and the frogs,
"This may be fun for you but It's death to me-"
In conclusion, these remarks are not made
in a fault-fnding spirit; but with the desire of
aiding with our suggestions in enhancing the
interest and usefulness of these fairs, and with
the hope of our fair being the best in the land.

Governor Wise and the I-nsurrec,ion.
WASHINGTON, Oct. %.

...
Gov. Wise in his Richmond speech, says he
has a bushel of Capt. Browns correspondence,
hut not all of it. A carpet bag full of it was
taken to Baltimore and improperly used. The
letters in lis possession proved that prominent
men in the North were implicated in the affair.
Whether our sister States in the North will al
low such men to remain among them uncheck-
ed or UNPUBLISHED, remains to be seen. IF any
one should smuggle off Gerritt Smith some
night, and bring him>to me, l would read him
a moral lecture and then send him back homo.
He had IT mained at Harper's Ferry to pre-
vent the application of Lynch law in Virginia.
There was no question of jurisdiction to be set
tied, as he had made up his mind fully, and
after determining that the prisoners should be
tried in Virginia, he would not have obeyed
an order to the contrary from the President of
the United States.
He was ready to weep when he heard that
the outlaws comprised only twelve men, and
that they had taken the town in ten minutes.
There was no cowardice on the part of the
people there, because their unguarGed citizens
were prisoners, but he told them that they had
made a mistake, and if Gen. Washington had
been a prisoner, and his life imperilled by an
attack, he would have risked his own life, and
others lives as we'll, in making an attack with
out ':elay.
This Ksnsas border rufian made a great
mistake as to the disposition of the slaves to fly
to his standard. The Abolitionists cannot com
prehcnd that the saves are held among US by
a Patriarchal tenure
The Governor urged the Importance of or
ganizing a military force Throughout the State,
and exercising vigilance. to guard against the
disgrace of a similar surprise.

SOLEMN. yet beautiful to view,
Month of my heart. thou dawnest here,
With sad and faded leaves to strew
The summers melancholy bier.
The moaning of thy winds l hear,
As the red sunset dies afar,
And bars of purple clouds appear,
Obscuring every western star.
Thou solemn month I hear thy voice,
1t tells my soul Of other days,
When but TO 1--we was to rejoice,
e, When earth was lovely to my gaze!
Oh. visions brighton, blessed hours,
Where are thy living raptures now?
1 ask my spirits wearied powers
l ask my pale and fevered browl
Hook to Nature, and behold
My life's dim emblems, rushing round,
In hues of crimson and of geld
The years dead honors on the ground
And signing with the winds, I feel,
While their low pinions murmur by,
How much their sweeping tones reveal
Of life and human destiny.
When Springs delightaome moments shone.
They came in zephyrs from the West;
They bore the wood lark's melting tone,
They stirred the blue lakes CLASSY breast
Though Summer, fainting in the heat,
They fingered in the forest shade;
But Changed and strengthened now, they beai
In storm, Ger mountain, glen and glade.
How like those transports of the hrsast
When life is fresh and Joy is neNs
Soft as the h~alcyon's downy nest,
And transient all as they are truei
They stir the leaves in that bright wreath,
Which Hope about her forehead twines,
TIL Grief's hot signs around it breathe,
Then Pleasures lip its smile resigns.
Alas for Tim. and reath. and care.
What gloom about our way they fiugi
Like clouds in Autumn's gus.y air,
"he burial pageant of the Spring.
The dreams that each successive year
Seemed bathed IN hues OF brighter pride,
At last like wifhered leaves appear,
And sleep in darkness. side by side.

HORSE THIEF ARREsTED.-Last Saturday
week a farmer named James Gibbs, living near
Mansfield, had a span of valuable horses stolen
from the field, and a saddle and bride were
taken from two other men. On Thursday a
man named Charles Wence, living near Gibbs,
came home from Cleveland, and paid a consta-
BILE of Mansfield $45 for an execution out
against him, claiming that he had received
SIS from a brother-in-law in Cleveland. Dep
uty Sheriff Snyder, of Richland county, came
into town last evening, and consulted with
Marshal Craw. Enquiries were made, and the
sister Of Wence said he had been here, and
brought with him a span of horses. It was
found that Wenco had sold the horses to DIR.
Wansor. who gave for them another horse and
800 in money.
A telegraph despatch was Immediately sent
to Mansfield, where Wence was at once arrest

BUT TRUE.

A few days since, Mr.. Jas, H. Beadle, of, Hunts
vile. Alabama, called on us and gave US permission
to publish for the benefit of suffering humanity, the
astonishing cure which had been effected in the case
of his wife by the usa of DR.. Hance's Vegetable Ep-
ileptic Pills. He informs us, that the time his wife
commenced using the medicine, her system was so
entirely prostracted, by the number of rpasm she had
undergone, as to reduce her weight 10 100 lbs. Since
she has been taking the pills, she has entirely got
over the spa ma and has gained in weight and bodi-
ly health. Shenow-weighs at least 200 lbs, and de-
claaes she is in better enjoyment of health than ever
before in her life. Mr.. Beadle also related the case
of Mr.. Harrison Lightfoot of the same town, who
has been entirely cured of the worst form of Epilepsy
by these same pills. Mr.. Lightfoot'sc case was SO bad
that he never passed a week without having an at
tack, often falling down in the street He has not
had an attack for more than a year. Mr.. Beadle
thinks that if the pills ever fails in curing c case, it
is for the want of proper perseverance on the part of
the person in taking them, as he feels assured from
observation in the case of his wife. that if they are
taken for a sufficient length of time, they will cure
auy case. Sent 10 any part of the country by mail,
