We have already published the touching
letter which was found on the body of Vim.
Lccman, one Of the insurgents, from his sister
in lIallowcll, Maine. The following paragraph
in that letter iSa suggestive one:
"W Ould you come home il you had the

When We bear in mind the intelligence and
$cnsihiliticS which characterize the wives and
daughters of the poorest equally with the
richest classes in New England, it is most
amazing that men should overlook such mis-

There was a larger crowd present herr
to-day than we have ever before seen a
any County Fair, People from every quarter
of all ages. size and sex, exhibited them
selves in all the fashions Of the day.
The expected balloon ascension Of Bol
man, and the display of fireworks by Dishl
added much to the attractions, and II lie sup'
posed that twenty thousand people were
present
Tho stock is universally admitted to have
been very superior. When tho Society was
formed nine years ago, there wan not a
thoroughbred COW in the county; now Il has
hundred thousand dollars worth Of thor
ough brod cattle, equal to any in the Union,
Horses, sheep and hogs, have also been
greatly improved. Hogs of the Magic stock
are exhibited, that weigh $50 pounds. They
are GROSS Of the Rupia China and Polan-
der sheep Of the finest Aeeees arc here to
be seen, as well rs every description of i'm,
proved poultry.
Several distinguished agrioulsuraliass art

Of the premiums His cattle took S700 at
the State Fair Mr., Wright who took tho
premium for raising 2l4 bushels Of corn 10
the acre, takes deep interest 10 the Fair
His average yield was ls4 bushels per acre.
His farm lies near Vevay, on the Ohio
River.
The day has passed of very pleasantly,
closing with balloon ascension by Belman.
and fireworks by Diehl. Belman had
fine audience of about two thousand peoI
pie in the enclosure, and took his flight, per.
fectly composed, about sundown, Howaived
his flag as long as we could see him. He
gave entire satisfaction this time Diehls
fife. works was 6ne exhibition, and was
well patronIzed.
The citizens, and officers of the Fair take
a lively interest in the exhibition, and are
attentive to strangers. Indeed, we have
never been better treated, or been present
at more orderly Fair, where so many per-
sons were congrcgated. The Quaker City"
deserves her good name abroad.
There was an unfortanate accident on Mr.,
Blacks train this morning. Mr. CLARK of
Xenia, Express Messenger had his head
crushed by a bridge, and died In fifteen
minutes He was assisting MIR. D. in col
lccting fare, and as he got on the top Of the
cars to collect fare from some boys, the
train being crowded, his head was struck BY
ridge.
Tomorrow there will be fine exhibition
of horses, and next day--Saturday--the
Fair will close with trotting, ladys eQuestri'
anism, and other exciting sports.

A SURPRISE PARTY.-At about sever
O'Clock last evening the cannon fred three
rounds, as signal for the regiment to as.
semblo at the Public Square. No company
or member Of any company, except the
squad, detailed for duty at tho gun, had any
intimation Of the proposed alarm. The con.

the latter in l6A minutes. Col. Ki1g, the
commandment of the regiment was much
gratifed with the celeriiy with which the
troops assembled, and sportively boasted
that in IL minutes be had plenty Of troops tc

The regiment under Col. King, headed by
the Tegimental band, then paraded Rbou
the city for over an hour. presenting fine
