National Horse Fair at Dayton.


Especial Correspondence Of tho Penny Pross.l
DAYTON, September 9, 1852
DEAR PRESS: Your correspondent will
agree with you in all the praise you can
bestow upon Dayton and her institutions, but
when you come to speak of the "National
Horse Show" now under way here, we beg
leave to have word or two to say. 1t is
certainly one-horse show, as it is said to be
under the control of one man, and that man,
too, an individual by the name of Smith.
With the exception of one or two of the
surrounding States, there are no representa-
Yesterday, by dnt Of advertising and i'm
mense posters, quite respectable crowd was
induced to 20 to the IN National Fair" the Pc
culiar attraction being o contest between lady
riders, the result of which you have already
published, but concerning which l have
heard considerable dissatisfaction expressed,
the majority holding to the opinion that the
awards were not properly distributed.
This should be the last of the Fair, but the
committee (?) have resolved to string it out
one day longer--closing tomorrow with the
balloon ascension by Mons. j. G. Bellman,
who arrived in the city this morning, and was
accounted about as great q lion as the Little
Glant douglas himself. AS eAcurSl0n tlckets
have been promised on the different railroads,
I should not be surprised if the last day of the
Fair was to prove the best-which, however,
would not be doing any great things.
The lay members attached to the Metho-
dist Conference met this morning in Raper
Chapel, occupying the morning in effecting
an organization. The regular Conference is
still in session, but has as yet transacted no
very important business. The subject oi
slavery in its different phases bids fair to
excitea lively discussion before the Confer
ence closes. Ministers are still arriving
daily, SO that, what with clergymen, horse
men, showmen and sporting men, Dayton is
completely overrun, every hotel being
crowded.
There 81 quite number of Cincinnatiaps
here, members of the different professions
noted above. The Horse Fair will undoubt-
ly close to. morrow, but it is expected that
the Conference will not be through its bust
ness until the middle of next week, when
Day ton will again resume its wonted stad
appearance, and go on in the even tenor O
| its way. Yours, OMlCRON.

New York Financial Matters,

New YORK, September 9, P. M.--The Stock

equaling, in most instances, 1@lH per cent,

= That Millionaire wedding.

A Saratoga correspondent of the Boston
Journal writes
> ."Miss Bartlett, who is to marry the Cuban
of "untold wealth." is at the Congress. Sheis
of course the observed of all observers. And
the little, small sharp-faced, dark-visaged old
man of sixty, who Is to bear away this choice
flower, is envied greatly. Tho name OF the
fashionable bridegroom Is M. Esto dc st. Conso
De Oviedo. This lady Is young, elegant. and
tall; when he stands upon the second stair no
is on level with his intended. The whole
party, including the father Of the lady, Mr..
Bartlett, have left for Lake George. ms ar
rangement has been most happy one Tor the
father. He has now an elegant house IN
Fourteenth- street, and has been told Dy MS
intended son-in-law that for the future he
need have no care. The Rev. d. Taylor,
aided by the accomplished Brown, will do one
part of the work in Grace Church, and Bishop
Hughes, in the Cathedral, viii consummate
the work. It was said by the late Horace
Mann that on one occasion it took fifteen men
to draw an inference. 1t takes both the full
force of Protestant and Catholic canonicals to
"join this man and woman together ...
The New York correspondent of the Charles

ton to the approaching nuptiils of Senior
0viedo and Miss Bartlett, says:
"At Genin's, where the wedding trous'ca''
of Miss Bartlett has been manufactured, was

two thousand dollars--a superb collection OF
linen cambria, gossamer linen, Valenoiennes
lace and transparent pufings. The polgno'r

broidered with white silk, costing one hundred
and twenty dollars; and the opera cloak was
the most exquisit thing l ever saw, composed
of white cashmere, and closely embroidered in
the most beautiful designs, the groundwork
looking like tiny seed pearls; this is worth
eighty dollars, and took five girls six weeks to

Sewage and Sewerage.

Sewage is word not found in Webster, but
it is used to express our meaning for the refuse
garbage Of cities, commonly passed off through
the artificial channels, or by sewerage, into
running rivers, thus at onoo Kidding the place
where people dwell Of great nuisance. I'm
mense sums Of money have beon expended in
the construction of the mere architecture of the
drainage apparatus. Government officials
have taxed their wisdom and the peoples
pockets, and have unfortunately, perhaps,
succeeded, after years of labor and outlay of
thousands Of dollars, in removing the nuisance
from sight. We say unfortunately, perhaps,
for 1t may be true that there has been q

A SOUTHERN AuRoRAL DIspLAY.-The Nj

A SOUTHERN AuR0RAL DISPLAY,-The Mo-
bile Advertiser has the following:
On Sunday night we witnessed from Point
Clear some electrical feats q little eXtraordi-
nary for this latitude. A little after dark the
attention of every one was directed to dull
red light, which resembled that reflected from
O burning building upon a cloud Of no great
density. Gradually this light increased in
intensity, and the cloud dropped down nearly
to the horizon and assumed a hue Of the black
est shade. Now, apparently from behind this
cloud, commenced one of the most imposing
spectacles it has ever been our good fortune to
witness. Streams of light shot up all along the
cloud from tho northeast to the northwest
points, being the most brilliant on line due
north. These streams were exactly analogous
to the Aurora Of the North. 1T one moment
they appeared exceedingly bright and we'll
defined. The next instant would change the
entire scene. A constant reformation of per-
petually fading corruscations was kept up for
half an hour, when change took place in tho
| performances. As the streams gradually faded
away, the cloud, which had before remained
, perfectly dark, began to be illuminated with
the ordinary forms of electrical flashes, which
continued until we withdraw from the eau
diencs." We wish we could have rung q huge
bell at the time, that all might have seen tAf
phenomenon which may not occur again In
this latitude for century.

A Midland Railroad.

There is an incomplete link in the railroad
line through mid Kentucky, which, if con-
structed, would make our way clear from Gin
cinnati to Charleston. We arc near at hand to
doing any work, when we know it is needed,
that it must be done; that it would pay we'll to
do it. We suppose no such preposterous
proposition, as that people can be dragooned
into enterprises. With your consent, good
people, we want some one to subscribe the
money to pay the expense of cutting down the
trees, excavating the route, building the track
and equipping and running the road, which
should be at once undertaken, between Nicho-
lasvills, Ky, and Knoxville, Tenn. Cincin-
natl, as trading and manufacturing city
needs such m outlet; as q railroad center, THU
spoke is yet to be put into her hub. The
question Of furnishing the money is an i'm.
pOrtant one; but tho funds must be raised, the
chain must be complete. The work already
done is too much done if we are to stop now
We must make more valuable the part already
done, by building more. We have had tn,
pleasure Of an interview with SAMUEL ROBERTS
one Of a small colony of Welch emigrants who
have made settlement near Huntsville, Tenn
He is a mild man, devoted to his tasks as
Christian minister, but he sees the need of 6

and has written spirited articles on the subject
in the Tennessee papers, urging upon buainesl
men and men of capital to embark at once il
the enterprise. 1t is one in which Kentucky
Tennessee and Ohio should be join1ly engaged
Without having it in our power to reproduce hi'
spirited articles, we cannot but thus allude t.
their object, and urge an "union" movement

being quite hoarss, was prevented from being

The orators boldness and repose results from
