Unparalleled Impudence.

La PORTE, July 5th.
EDIroR DEMOCRAT AS A. T. Dewey, pub
Usher and John Pinch, "deUH" of the Noun
tain Messenger, were returning from celebra
ting the 4th at St Louis about 10 P NJ, they
were ordered 10y two foot pads" to "stand
and deliver" Dewey's horse SHE'D as one Of
them attempted to take him by the bit, upon
this suggestion from his equine friend Dewey
applied the spurs vigorously and made his
escape minus his hat rode into town and gave
the alarm that Pinch was taken and for aught
he kne'o, murdered
Pinch, "poor DeyH," was not SO fortunate
The pads" made him "come down." and af-
ter relieving him of his purse containing
sll 90, bade him "mount and be off" which
feat he performed with an alacrity truly
creditable under such trying circumstances.
Fortunately for young Pinch, his valuable
gold watch escaped the robbers notice.
When the Deyu came into town Dewey
anxiously inquired what the robbers said to
him. He replied that they gave him the
same advice that the bear gave the man in
the fable, "Neyer to desert a friend in time of
danger"
Billy Byrne offers reward of a copy of
the Messenger for one year for the arrest and
conviction of the audacious scoundrels.

SATURDAY MORRING, JULY 9Th.

The NORTHERN DlsTEIcr FAlR.-Ihe time
for The holding of the Northern District Fair
has been fixed for the week commencing the
Sd day of september next We hope our
citizens will take a general interest IN aiding
the officers Of the District Society to make
the exhibition worthy Of The district Of
country it is intended to represent. The
citizens Of Marysyiie are expected to render
that aid that is due from them, considering
the Fair ie to be held here. The officers de-
sire that our citizens make extensive prepar
ations in the way of articles for exhibition.
There is no time to be lost the work must
commence at once and all should do their
duty. Our neighboring towns and cities are
expected to be fully represented, as well as
the great farming and mining sections of the
northern portion Of the State. 1t is well
known fact that the northern portion of the
State can boass of the best farms, orchards
and gardens, and Of the finest stock. ant
there should be, therefore, full representa-
tion of the same at the coming Fair Th
officers of the Society have determined upo
making every arrangement for the grandes
exhibition ever yet held in the State. TIL
Pavilion will be enlarged by additions an,
thoroughly renovated and ornamented so a
to make the same commolious and attractive
The cattle grounds will be arranged con
venient to the city and Of sufficient dimen-
sion5 to accommodate one thousand head o
stock, and have half mile track within th'
enclosure. In the center Of the cattle grounC
will be erected the judges stand, surrounded
by show ring and covered amphitheatel
that will seat 10000 persons. With these
improvements the exhibition at the cattle
grounds will be rendered most interesting
To the farmer and the mechanic and those o
every trade and calling, we say, prepare il
time for the great Northern Exhibition, and
to all we say, fail not to make preparation:
to come and witness the same.

CHINESE IN BRITIsu CoLUMBA.-Speakino
OF the Chinese immigration to British Coum-
bia, Victoria correspondent writes: In point
OF numbers, the Mongolians will soon be far
IN advance of the Europeans, if this state OF
.h'ngS continues, as it is quite likely to do.
Wy own opinion is this we want laborers in
'"e MINES and if we cannot get the Anglo.
American We must get whom we can ; and
Doubtless the Chinese will benefit Themselves
by their patient labor in the remote gold
fields of British Columbia And so / for one
welcome their advent here, though nv deci-
ded preference would have been, and ia "for
my brethren in the" blood.

commenting on the enterprise which characterizes the
the public press, by which synopsis OF congressional
proceedings and all the important news Of the day is
laid before the people of every city and in the

would vote against this This discussion continued

Hunter, Trumbul Fessenden, Doolttle, Douglas Foot
and other Senators.
