the example Of Secretary Chase, and pays Z
visit to his native State on the eve Of the elect

to deliver a speech or two and spread before
the people his views Of the issues Of the time6s
we have no doubt that Secretary Seward
will also favor us with speech before hs leaves
the State, and further develop the contest thae

the succession. The bold movement inaugus

which will command the conservative masses

And why mott The abolition radicals, from
New York to lllnos, were sternly rebuked in
our Northern State elections last year: the
copperheads have been and will be az sternly
rebuked In the elections Of this year. The
people insist that all secondary issues and dis
organizing factions shall give way to the imms-
diate work in hand, the suppression of the
armed forces of the rebellion. This work can
and should be completely done within the next
six months. Assuming that Il will be done
within this limit. the question Of reconstruction

said not to have been as great success
as was anticipated, net more than 5000
persons being in attendance at any one
time, and the exhibition was similarly
sparse, though some departments were
fuller than ever before. The total amount
of receipts was about $1,000, which,
with the small amount the society had on
hand before, will be sufficient to pay all
expenses. The total amount of preA-i.
ums paid was 5000.

that, in fact, since ITO, the numbers of

Quantreir's History and Character.

of the Lawrence murderer aud bandit:
81 am a native Of Maryland, and spent
the first thrty-seven years Of my life in
that State. Quantrell aud | were both
raised at Hagerstown, in and near which
place he has many respectable relations.
He married lady Of good family; and
soon after wa. convicted Of several heavy
forgerics, and of kidnapping and selling
free negro. For the first named felon.
les, he served a term of ten years in the
New York Penitentiary, the offeuses hav-
ing been committed ia that State; his
wife remaining during that period in
Maryland by the laws Of Maryland,
a wife is released from her husband
whenever he is convicted of felony; &C
ccrdingly, in the exercise Of her right,
Quantrel's former wife was married,
during his confinement in the peniten-
tiary, to a clerk of hotel in Cumber-
land. a, the expiration of the term of
his prisonment, Quantrell returned to
Maryland, and flu ling his wife married
to another man, first tried to Induce her
to return to him; failing in this, he at.
tempted her assassination, when he was
arrested and imprisoned. He was re.
leased, under pledge to his friends that
he would leave the country, which prom.
Use he kept, and the next time l heard of
jesse Quantrell, it was in connection
with the Lawrence massacre"

Up to this time a large number of en-.

bership tickets have been sold. The
display of cattle is already much larger
than the display At either Scott county
or State Fair. The Devon, Durham and
Hereford cattle are largely represented,
while the display Of grades shows conclu-
sively that great attention is being paid
By our farmers to improve their stock.
The show in sheep and hogs is excel.
lent, but not yet large.

ses and mares, are on the ground. Mr..

some eight or ten good colts David

Dairy and farm products are generally
largely shown, while the display of fruits
caRast be surpassed in the State.
The Fair will be formally opened by
the President at l o'clock. Thursday
and Friday will be the great days of the
Fair. The fast trotters will be on the
track. A running race is also projected,
while trial Of fast PAGERS will add to the
interest.
From al appearances, this Fair will
be great success. Muscatire and Scott
counties are largely represented. aud a
good feeling seems to exist among all par
ties interested.

Of the Society, is indefatigable in his Ia.

COOP ADVICE ON SUNDRY SUBJECTS
Never cut piece out Of a newspaper
until you have looked on the other side,
where perhaps you may find something
more valuable than that which you first
intended to appropriate. Never put salt
into your soup before you have tasted it.
l have known Of gentlemen very much
enragcd by doing so. Never burn your
fingers if you can help it. People burn
their fingers every day, when they might
have escaped if they had been CAREFUL
Don't put your feet upon the table. True,
the members Of Congress do so, but you
are not member OF Congress. If you
form one of large mixed company, and
dif1ident stranger enters the room and
takes seat among you, say something to
him, for heavens sake, even although II
be only, "Fine evening, sir!' Do not
let him sit bolt upright, suffering all the
apprehensious aud agonies of bashfulness,
without any relief. Ask how he has
been; tell him you know his friend, SO
and so-anything. that will do to break
the icy stiffness ia which very decent
fellows are sometimes frozen on their
debut before a new circle.
