HoRTIcULTURAL EXHIBITIoN.-The time
is drawing to a close in which contributors can
prepare their specimens for the exhibition.
Contributions ought to be in in the course OF
today, but will be received during the fore
noon of tomorrow. We hope, in this year of
abundance, that such display may be made
as i'll be worthy of our county, and such as
will vindcate its character as the best fruit
growing region of New England. The exhi-
bition of the Massachusetts Society, at Boston,
few days since, was eminenuy successful, far
outdoing those of all preceding years Shall
not our own be made of equal comparative ex
cellence 1t can be done only by the cordial
cooperation of those who have the means of
doing it, in the possession of choice fruits,
flowers and vegetables Let no one omit to
present his contribution from the apprehension
that others may have more or better speci-
mems than ne. 1t is a notorious fact that
the chief interest of the former exhibitions
has been derived, not chiefly from the display
of the large contributors, but from the contri-
buttons OF those who furnished each few
dishes, and, in some instances, but single
one, of rare excellence. These, taken in the
aggregate, form the greatest attraction in the
show. Let him, then, who has but one varie-
ty, show that, if it is really fine one and he
that has more, show his to the extent of his
ability Then we shall each contribute our
respective shows to this useful and interesting
object, and then we shall encourage those who
are gratuitously doing SO much for the cause
of horticultural progress and excellence, to
renewed and still greater efforts in that be-

FOR REPRESENTATIVES, TO CONGRESS,
GOLDSMITH F. BAILEY, of Fitchburg
s.1,,,o, Growing Discreet.

would advocate disunion in case of Mr.. Lin
coins election, his safe reply was that cit
would depend on the size of his majority"

Li. 10 organizing rebellion as he was in 1856,
tdtks lie slall advocate secession under some
what similar circumstances, if not with the
consent OF Virginia, then with the more south
vrn states. The itinerant correspondent of the
New York Herald reports the following frag
ment of a conversation held recently with Rob
ert Toonbs OF Georgia, upon his own hearth
stone and surrounded by his sable household
gods =
REPoRTER-What do you intend doing in
case of Lincoln's election?
MIR. TooMBs- Resist him.
EPoRTER-Without waiting for an overt
aci?
Mr.. TooMBs-We have had overt acts
enough already; the personal liberty bills arc
sufficient.
REPoRTER- Who will commence the rev5-
luton!
Mr. TooMBs-I will if l have enough to
back me to make treason respectable.
They all have the excellent discretion to
insert saving clause, suited to the not wholly
unexpected contingency of submission. The
great advance which has been made since
1896, is shown in the fact that the disunionists
have been compelled to qualify their seditious
Impulses and to defer all rash enterprises, until
t5y are strong enough to be respectable If Mr..
To1mbs had fixed the date of his revo-
.uton to the time when water runs up
hill, he would have been in quite as much
danger OF being called to the verifcation and
fuililment OF his threat. The "respectability
OF treason" which is myth at the best, will
vanish utterly in the moment of the inaugur-
alton of republican president. When that
period comes, and some of the multitude of
Mr.. Lincoln'S supporters go to see him assume
tnc power with which he is to be clothed and
to initiate new and happier epoch in the his
tory of the American republic, is will not be
favorable opportunity for the excited gentle
men who talk treason so bravely in the quiet
of their own homes, to appear in an attitude
of resistance. 1t is not likely that any blood
would be shed. 1t is quite improbable that
any silly body would be frightened. Senator
Iverson and Mr. Toombs would be taken into
the custody of their friends, and their pert
battalion would be taught the "rogue's march"
to the police office, where they would each
be fined, the next morning, So and costs
for disturbance of the peace, and sent home
Gov. Wise would probably be taken to an in
sane asylum, and his life guard Of rebels, the
same who defended Charlestown for many
days and nights, against an invisible and un-
counted enemy, would be exposed at night to
the cows in some farmers pasture, with the
alternative of working out their offences in
jail. The rebellion would be anything but
respectable"

A Chnilenre to Ell Thayer.

Mr.. Thayer has caused a letter to be pub
lished which he says was signed by more than
four hundred and fifty republicans, asking him
TO become an independent candidate Tor con-
gress. Now, we assert that the letter which
Mr. Thayer published uaS not signed by four
hundred and fifty republicans. And we furth-
er assert that the circular upon which Mr..
Thayers agents procured the signatures
which he has so traudulenty used, ,caS not the
letter which he published, but very different
thing, resembling it in no way whatever.
Now Mr.. Eli Thayer, we challenge you for
the proof oi your statement in relation 10
these signatures. Either dare to publish the
four hundred and fifty names, or else confess
the fraud and, "whchever course Jou take,
you will wish you had taken the other. -
Fitct6Hy ReceiAe, Sept. 18th.
The correspondence to which the Reveille
refers was published in the Spy on the 18th
day OF September. The four hundred and
fifty names were not shown at this office, at
that time, nor have we been able to get a sight
OF them since. We have asked TO see them
we have offered to publish them in the
Spy but they have not been produced.
Therefore we copy the Reveille's "Chal-
lenge to Eli Thayer," believing that it is
timely, and that it demands frank and full
reply, MIR, Thayer and some Of his friends
in this city, have declared publicly that some
four hundred and fifty or five hundred repub-
licans of this congressional district had, on
the Nth day of September, signed document
asking him to run as an Independent candidate
for congress. We published the documents
in which they made this declaration. We
have expressed both willingness and desire to
publish the names, also, but they are not forth
coming. The Revcille inhmales that gross
fraud has been perpetrated, and not without
some show of reason.

VISION OF DEATH.--The Schenectady New

that very remarkable case of spiritual
presentiment has recently occurred in that
county. Mr.. W, who resides in the town of
Niskay una, about three weeks ago was awak-
ened from his sleep by an unusual noise which
he thoughtproceeded from the adjoining room.
More surprised than alarmed he lighted n
candle and went into the apartment, which was
used as a spare bedroom As he opened the
door his light went out with the current of air.
and he was in total darkness. Presently, how
ever, as he turned to grope his way back, the
room grew light as a cellar on rainy after
noon through ground glass overhead, and
Mr. W 1imly saw his eldest son on the
bed clad in the habiiments Of DEATH and the
coffin beside him, resting on two chairs across
the foot end. In moment the illusion vanish.

struck another match, and again entered he

delusion, but last week the eldest son of MIR.
W was taken ILL., and he died last Friday.
He was a bright boy Of some ten summers.
