Close Of The NafIonnl Pnlr.

The Eighth Annual Exhibition Of the Uni
ted States Agricultural and Mechanical Sooi-
ETY., held at Cincinnati, closed on Friday
The only awards to exhibitors from Northern
Ohio not heretofore noted in the Leader, were
for model Of Sugar Evaporator, to A. @
Clemens, Upper Sandusky; Fisher, Shaler &
Co, Of Alliance, for best apparatus for NOV
ing houses W. A. Flanders, of Cleveland,
tor best bee-hives; A. Ball, Of Canton, second
premium on mower and reaper; @. Aultman,
4 Co.. second premium on mower; W. B.
Eager, Elyris, for Babbit metal; Jay Dau-
mer, Canton, for egg-beater; J. E. Wheeler
& Co., Cleveland for water drawer for wells;
D. B. Briggs Sharon, plough for drainage,
and BlymerreE Bates & Day, Mansfield, for
second best SoTgho evaporator.
The Fair closed with steam IRE ngine
tournament and horse trot. Two Cincinnati
and Philadelphia engine contested for SlOO
and a silver medal. The Philadelphia "Good
win" won, for Hghtness, cheapness, and
comparative capacity for throwing" Cost
stated at $4,000. The Cincinnati fremen
were indignant at the award, and charged
the committee with unfairness.
Though the great stallion race for a citi-
zen's purse of $500 was free to all stations
over six years old, only three horses started,
D. Woodmanse's " "Washtenah Chief" Geo.
Creams "Woful,n and A. L. Ulmstead's S
"ClintOn" The contest was sharp between
"Ghief' and PwofuIn and was won by the
latter,
The Fair, in the main, is set down, even
by the Cincinnati press, as a failure. 1t did
not meet public expectations. The number
Of entries was not large, and some depart
ments were meagrely represented, among
others cattle, sheep and hogs. Mechanics S
Hall made but a poor show, and for this the
Gazette assigns two reasOns-the gross in
justice of the premium list which gave thou
sands Of dollars to fast horses, but nothing
but silver and bronze medals to mechanical
and manufactured productions, and the other
that there was no cordial cooperation of the
mechanics Of Cincinnati in their aid of the
Fair. They opened their Institute during
the Fair, instead Of giving aid to the Nation
al Exhibition. The attendance of people was
much below anticipations and this the Ga
zette attributes to the locality, the manage
ment, difficulty of access, and cost of attend
ing the Fair.

MIR. seward--I.ady EIgln Calmly.

The people ei Milwaukee had made great
preparation to give Senator Seward splen-
did reception, when TIE terrible Lake disaster
filled the city with mourning. At Madison, Mr..
Seward opened his speech with the follow
ing beautiful and touching reference to the sad
calamity:
Fellov GGzens:-lt is bright September
sun that is shining down upon us-such a
sun as nature, pleased with the remembrance
Of her own benefcence, seems to delight Ia
sending forth to grace the close Of season
which has been crowded with abundance and
luxuriance unknown even 70 her own pro-
fuseness. II Is such a sun as nature, pleased
with seeing the growth of a noble capital in
great state, may be supposed to send out
70 illuminate and TO make effulgent the mag
niicent beauties Of the place on which we
are assembled.
Il is such a September sun as we might
almost suppose nature, sympathizing with
the efforts of good men, lovers Of liberty,
anxious TO secure their own freedom, TO per-
petuate that freedom for the enjoyment Of
their posterity, and to extend its blessings
throughoutthe whole world, and for all gen
erations, may have set forth in token of
sympathy with such a noble race But, fell
low citizens, bright and cheerful as this hour
is, my heart is oppressed, and am unable at
once to lift myself above the sadness of recent
scenes and Oaintul recollections. | obeyed
the command of the Republican people OF
Wisconsin, to appear before them on this, the
18th day of September, and as / approached
Il. -
that crowns the shores Of Lake Michigan, and
affords entrance to this magnificent state,
had anticipated, because I had become habi-
tuated to, welcome thai sheuld be distiBg-
uished by the light of thousand torches, and
by the voices of music and cannon.
But the angel Of death passed Just before
me on the way, and instead OF footsteps
lighted with the greeting of thousands Of my
fellow citizens, found only thick darkness,
increased, as only natures darkness can be,
by the weeping and wailing of mothers for
the loss of children, and refusing to be COM
lorted. have been quite unable to rise
from that sudden shock; to forget that instead
Of The voice of kind and merry and genial
welcome, | heard only mourning and lam
entatiOn in the streets.
To you, perhaps, the scene seems somewhat
foreign, because it occurred in your beautiful
seaport but it was not merely municipal
calamity. 1t is a calamity and disaster that
befalls the state, and strikes home dismay and
horror to the bosoms of all its people, for
these were citizens of the state who have
perished, and those who survive are mourners;
the desolate widows and orphans who are
bereaVed. Let me, before l proceed, take
the liberty to bring this subject home to the
state authorities of Wisconsin, and to ask and
to implore that nothing may be left undone
if there is yet anything that can be DONE to
rescue a single sufferer from that dreadful
calamity, and to bring to the comforts of
social life, andof sound, good religious and
public education, the orphans who are left to
wander on the streets by the lake side

The Buffalo Courier of the 22d says -
Within forty-eight hours ending last evening,
feet of over one hundred vessels,-inclu-
ding propeIlers, etc.-have arrived at this
port, containing one HdlIion, three hundred and

These figures are majestic, and are unpar-

this continent or in the world. Never-not
even in the busiest days of AT, and the years
thereabOuts, has the harbor of Buffalo pre-
sented more noble and animated appearance
than yesterday. Upon both sides of the
creek, especially about Central Wharf and op-
pOsite, perfect Armada of brigs, barques,
and schooners were rauged-sometime two
and three abreast-the web-like mazes of
whose masts, spars and rigging, almost OBJ
scured the view of the sky. Elevators feast
ed ravenously all the day long. Canal boat
men were in Elysium, shippers were excited,
the docks sRarmed with merchants, captains,
and strangers lying in wait. The hum of
eager discussion was heard at every turn,
and above all, the sailors reckless "Ye no

memorable in the commercial history of Buff

In our notice OF the cheese trade, last
week, we might have said with truth, that
the dairymen Of Geauga are surprising those
of other counties, not only IN the quantity,
but also in the quality of the cheese produced
by their labor and skill. Very little, if any,
of poor quality has been brought into mar
ket and it is nearly all excellent. OF the
cheese brought in on Tuesday, that from the
dairies of Thomas Carroll AnsOn Bartlett,
A Church, J. j. Williams, Vim. Fayles, and
others, was very fine; "a cheese, weighing
5,O45 pounds from Mr.. Carroll's, and SO
weighing 9,O37 pounds, from Mr.. Bartletts
dairy, were admiralty cured. Whoever
shall produce an equal number of better size
and quality, viii certainly deserve the pre-
mium.- GhdrdOR Dem.

The Harvest in ENGLAND.

The latest accounts from England state that
upon the clearing up of the weather the crops
we've found not to be very materially dam
aged. Many assert that the wheat crop viii
be as good as in 1853, and other authoritie.
who have predicted certain deficiency, agree
that the failure will be nothing like what was
anticipated, and that fortnight's fair wealth.
er would make them safe. Already, indeed,
in some parts of the csuntry there had been
a good week of sunshine, and many an acres
crop must have been securely housed. The
explanation Of this is said to be that the rain,
though excessive, was not often continuous,
every third or fourth day bringing some re-
spite, and opportunities were providentiany
furnished when they were most urgently
needed for the crops to recover themselves
The London Times says
We need not say how much must still
depend on a continuance of the fine weather
which we have enjoyed for the last few days.
We may already, it is true, assure ourselves
that the harvest viii not he so bad as we
feared, bat in some districts it has hardly yet
commenced, although in othe-s it is all ~.
completed. What is instructive .. ,ne case
is the evidence thus given Of the vlsitations
which the wheat crop can sustain with i'm
punity, or, perhaps we should rather say, of
the blindness with which man may regard
the operations Of Providence We thought
that the corn must be terminating under the
excessive wet, whereas we are now told that
it is actually safer in this respect than it was
last year. All this while, too, the weather
was really extraordinary. The popular opin-
ion on this point was no delusion. There
was little sun, little warmth, perfecttempest
Of winds, and delnge of rain; yet the corn
grew in its season, and blOssOmed in its sea-
son, and npened in its season. It covers our
fields at this moment with an average har-
vest and as we look at these kindly fruits of
the earth, which have been produced for our
support, we have only to pray that in due
time we may be enabled TO enjoy them"

BRUTAL MURDER AT SPRNGFRLD. IA
Springfield, Ohio, day or two since, as we
learn from the Republic of the 18th, while a
young boy named Thomas Kelley was at
work in the cornfeld, one James Marmion,
who had married a cousin Of young Kelly,
fred upon him twice with doubls-barreled
gun, mortally wounding him. After the
first shot the boy begged most piteously Of
his barbarous assailant lot to shoot him, but
to no purpose. The murderer fed, but was
arrested few hours later. His victim lived
only an hour after his injury. There ap-
pears to have been no cause for the crime
except a malignant spite that Marmion had
conceived against the youth.

The GRAPE CRoP.-The grape crop in this
section is very fine, and grapes in market
are abundant and selling from to 10 cents
per pound, according to quality They are
being shipped abroad in considerable quanti-
ties.
The Sandusky Register speaks ofthe grape
crop in that region as never better. The
fruit is ripening well, the Isabella now being
harvested. The grapes from Mr.. Dewey's
vineyard, which are very fine, are being sent
to Boston.

Hon. Edward ArchbOId on the
COFruptiOns OF the Democracy.

NNffNH HlfNfftiNNNN VI WV AAAH wv
COLUMBUS, Aug. 90.
At the Wigwum in this city, last eve
ming, Hon. Edward Archbold delivered 0
ve'y able speech, the points of which |
send you.
Mr.. Arohbold has been for many years
one of the leading Democrats OF Ohio
He was member Of the House OF Rep
resentatives from '43 to '45, and mem
Der Of the Senate from AZ to '49, nndwu
one of the trainers of our new Constitu-
ton, in 1860. Mr.. A. has been protest
ing egainst the course ofthe Democracy
since 1854, and publicly renounced his
allegiance to that piratical power about
one month since.
Mr.. Archbold, after few Introductory
remarks, repeated the various Democrat
ic platforms, beginning with that Of the
State Convention Of Ohio Of the sth of
January, 1913, which is far more radical
on the subject Of Slavery than any Re-
publican platform of the present dsy. He
then alluded to the happy settlement of
our national difficulties by the Compro-
mise measures of 1850, and quoted the
resolution Of the Democratic National
Convention Of 1859, at Baltimore, in
which they pledged the party to resist ali
attempts at renewing, either in Con-
gress or out of, il the agitation Of the sla,
very question, under whatever shape or
color the attempt might be made. He
characterized she breach Of that pledge
BY the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
niise, as perhdious, No reason existed
for the repeal IN January, 1854, that
did not equally exist Ia The eumilet OF
1852.
Phe speaker then adverted to the doc,
trine Of Popular Sovereignty contained
In the Nebraska bill-the people should
be left perfectly free to form and regu-
late their own domestic institutions in
