FALLS VILLAGE The event of particular in. terest to this place the past week, has been the Cattle Show and Fair of the Union Agricultu. raj Society, Sept. 9th and 10th, and the Horse Fair the next day, altogether making the most successful Fair the Society has ever held.
 The first day was devoted to the department of Working Oxen and other domestic animals. The North Cornwall team of Oxen and Steers numbered 50 pair, Salisbury 35, Canaan 30, together with single pairs, making total of 125 pairs of Oxen and Steers, and good show of other farm stock, as good as can be found anywhere.
 The Horse Show was good It always has been good at all the Shows of this Society.
 But the Ladies' department was constantly full of lockers on, and we'll it might be, for it was scene that delighted the eye. There was the homestead with it's matched roof and "old oaken bucket, the moss covered bucket that hung in the we'll" and ladys pencil had trans ferred the farm yard, with all manner of domes- tic animals looking fat and sleek, to canvas The articles of fancy needle-work locked good enough.to use, but evidently were made to look a.
 In the next building was fruit in any quantity and great variety, and not to be excelled in quality bread. and butter, and honey; cheese, old and new, yellow and white; and potatoes that were neither small or few in a hill The receipts, all told, are said to be about $1, 100.
 The Annual Address was delivered by the Rev. MT. Howe of Canaan, and was full of sound practical thoughts, well spiced wi tn words of keen, cutting satire, to all of which our farm CTS would do we'll to take heed

Its with mingled feelings of joy and sadness that we writo of the departure of our gallant Iitchfeld County Regiment for the seat of war. After three weeks encampment upon our hill- top, during which period we had become famil 'arized with them, and each day added a new pride to their presence, it is sad to think the brave men are at length gone, and yet grate- ful to know they have gone to fulfill their duty and perform their allotted work.
 d. The scene of their departure is beyond our powers to picture. It was exciting enough, and thrilhngi though mournful, and yet we saw but few tears shed among the vast crowd of specta- tors that assembled at the Camp and the Sta tion, to bid them Godspeed, while the brave boys themselves went off in the highest spirits. with cheers for their Camp, their cause. and ev- erybody, and with the brightest hopes and tondest expectations. .......r
 So they went out to their duty-the very flower and cream of our county-the best and the dearest to many of us-to fight the grand battle for Freedom, for God and their country!
 some of them we shall never see any more. Some of them will return to us wounded and scarrcd from the battle. Some of them will lie down upon the field sick and wasting away Some of them will fall on the battle ground and some by the way, and yet the name and fame of every one of them will live in our hearts proudest memory while our hearts are susceptible of the emotion of pride and affection of manly ardor or patriotic fire.
 Many home is desolate now, and many treside chair will be vacant this winter, and yet we shall never regret the absent one, or mourn him departed, while we remember what called him away, and while we know he is winning deathless fame which we at home shall be here after but too proud and happy to share with him. Surely the old Revolutionary times are come again, where for love of country, the young men leave their plough shares in the field, their merchandise on the counter and their books on the shelves, and take up the sword and the musket for the cause of Free dom. And ours is noble cause, noble as was that of our Fathers, inasmuch as it is as exalted to struggle f.r the perpetuity of. a Free Govern ment they bequeathed to us as to have founded one for future generations. Who of us does not rejoice to-day in blood which once flowed through the veins of a Revolutionary sire. Who of us will not rejoice hereafter that of our name shall be born posterity who shall rise up and call us blessed forever?
 Let us thank God then that we live in times where we can make such sacrifices, and render such offerings. Let us be satisfied, be gratifed, let us rejoice ratker, that we have sent our sons and brothers to the strife, unto whom God shall surely grant the, victory, and whom we shall clothe with deathless remembrance of undying pride.

We earnestly hope the invitation may be accepted, and see no reason why it should not be. In these times when all loyal men everywhere are upholding Government and lending every energy as one man, to the crushing out of the rebellion, and while all issues are banished out of sight. it seems proper that we should all unite on one loyal ticket for officers of the town Let tho few secessionists that there are among us hold a eancus if they please, and nominate one anoth ther for Grand Jurors aud Constables, but let loyal men have no petty party issues raised in so unimportant an election.

DEATH OF GENERAL RESo-General Jesse L Reno, whose death on the field of battle is an- nounced in General McClellan's dispatch, was one of the gallant young brigadiers whom Burn side trained to war in North Carolina He was a Pennsylvanian by birth, and about thirty-se- ven years of age. He received military edu- cation at West Point, where he was entered in ls42, and was graduated, seventh in his class in ls46. ..
 Entering the army as brevet second lieutenant of ordnance, he formed part of Scott's army in the Mexican war, and took part in every battle from Vera Cruz to Mexico. For gallantry dis played at Cerro Gordo, he was breveted first lieutenant: at Chepultepec he was wounded ]; and on the 18th of September, ls47, was brevet- ed captain. He commanded 8 battery in both of the actions above named. H
 After the close of the war, he was for six months Assistant Professor of Mathematics at West Point, and for eighteen months afterward secretary to the Artillery Board, during which he was engaged in testing heavy ordnance and compelling tactics for heavy artillery. .i3
 A younger man than Kearney, he bade fair to become as splendid . soldier as that lamentsd general, and in his death the army and the coun- try have lost one whom we could not well spare He lived long enough to win for himself an hon. orabla fame in our history. 7#a.8gi
