THE STATE FAIR.

Perhaps / ought to say to the
readers of the Journal that did at
tend the State Fair. L was there
one day, Wednesday, leaving in good
time on Thursday morning, thus
avoiding the continued rain and uni
versal mud of that day. The gen
eral exhibition for State Fair, was
little disappointing. Yet there was
more, and more that was fine and in
teresting. than ! had the time TO in
spect. The display of Agricultural
and horticultural products cannot be
said to have been more than moder-
ate. The Machinery department |
thought better represented. including
many things decidedly new and
striking. Washing, wringing. and
Ironing machines seemed 10 hold a
conspicuous place.
To the Stock department 1 paid
very little attention. Saw a large
number of sheep were in the pens,
and that they were attracting large
portion of stock growers attention.
The collateral attractions in the
way Of notion auctions and catch
penny shows were annoyingly aban-
dant- Big women and little women,
snake tanners and other tomfooleries
obtruded themselves upon Your at
tention at every turn. But the crown
ing attraction of the day was the
performance on the flight rope" by

THE LATE DIR. TEAL

IL Is our melancholy duty TO an
nounce this week the death, after a
brief illness. of our late fellow towns
man, DR.. A. +. Teal. He had been
for some weeks in rather declining
health, though he still continued TO
attend to the pressing duties of his
profession, not refusing to respond
to the calls of his patients even af-
ter it was entirely imprudent for him
TO attend to them. He was soon en-
tirely confined 10 his bed with n con
tinuCd fever, shortly running into n
low Typhoid grade, complicated in
the last few days with some pncu-
monte symptoms. Never of a very
robust constitution, he sank rapidly
under the superaddcd weight of the
last complication, and died on the
evening of the 9Th inst.
The Doctor was man of energy
and activity, with a goodly amount
of public spirit. He threw the weight
of his example and influence into the
scale of Agricultural, Horticulture
and general improvement Asapro
fessional man he was popular Will
the people, and polite and courteou
with his brethren in the profession
In his domestic relations, after SOM
very affective bereavements lie wa
happy as it generally falls to the 10
of man to find himself. He leave
an affectionate wife to mourn hi
early loss, and though well aware o
the emptiness of words under sucl
circumstances, we cannot but expires
our heartfelt sympathy for the be
reaved OH this occasion.
His remains were taken TO Reno
both, Preble Co., Ohio, for inter
ment.

AFFAIRS IN MISSOURI.

The course Of the President, in re-
gard TO appointments and other mat
tiers in the Department of Missouri,
has for long time been very dis
tasteful TO all loyal men in that part
of the country. Many of the lead
ing civil and military officers have
shown quite as much sympathy for
the rebellion as for the Union cause.
A reign Of terror exists in Missouri,
and returned rebel soldiers are be-
ing armed by Gov. Gamble against
Union men.
a delegation from Missouri and
Kansas have gone to Washington to
urge the President to remove Gen.
Schofield, and TO inaugurate such a
policy as will tend to strengthen and
not TO overthrow the national author
ity.
We shall publish an article from
the Missouri Democrat next week
which will give our readers some
knowledge of matter that has as
sumed national importance,

THE DRAFT.

cit is estimated that the draft
will result in but about $4,000 sol
diers. II such is he will OF the
people, nave not they ii right to
stay at home and prctract the war?
The administration cannot make
war if the people will not fight, GER
tainly. This Tact is far the most
uniavorable one OF the day"
The above. y .ilch we take from the
n. Y. independent, is an illustra
ton of the "splashing' style in
which that paper says a good many
things.
The paragraph is unjust to The
people, and no one should be per
mitted to utter such things without
receiving a stern rebuke from
honest men. Every intelligent
man knows that the peonle are not
to blame for the failure Of the Draft.
And the Press should have the man
illness to put the matter on the true
ground, and say what is simply
true, that it was owing to the abom-
Unable tinkering and everlasting in
decision of the Government that
the Draft failed. The people are
disappointed. They were ready
for call to the field in the service
of their country. 1t is most pal
pable and significant fact, that there
is nowhere in the west any express
ion of joy over the announcement
that there Will be no draft. The
people were listening for the cry
"Forward!' and already we could
see, and were proud to note the kind
ling ardor in the hearts OF men a
round Us, as they prepared to take
their places by the side OF those
who have so glorilied our cause or
the battlefelds of the las. two years
They were already almost soldiers
so many were called for, they could
not all be missed. When suddenly

We hear some people talking
about the vigor displayed by the
Democratic party in the canvass
now going on in Ohio. b It the
most vigorous demonstration
which has been made by that par
~ for a long time was the move
ment Of the armies of Bragg and
Lee against Rosccrans IN Georgia
IL was the decisive effort OF this
Democratic campaign; all the lead

\ WORD ABOUT
AMERICAN! WhTcnE

After thorough trial Of more than ten
wears, the time pieces manufactured by the
American Watch Co., OF Naltham, Mass,
have gained a firm hold upon the favor of the
public, and now, no less than 5000 Of them
arr. .peakins for Themselves in the pockets
of the people From very insisn iicant be-
ginning the business has increased until we
are justified in stating that WE MAKE
MORE THAN ONE HALF of all the
watches sold in the United States, Repeat
Cd enlargement of our factory buildings, aud
the labor Of $40 oper, tivos, 81 Il fiHd us IN
,qual TO supply the constantly increasing de-
m anl. And We may here observe that pot
outstanding the high price of labor and
I m itcriAls, We actually cell our products at
less prices than those current five years ago.
We refer to these facts only for the pur-
pose Of properly introducing another subject
/ relative TO our manufacture of Watches
Hitherto our chief object has been to make
coad watches Cor tho million at the lowest
possible price-something to take the place
OF the mlke-bclieve watches called "An-
crcs, "Lepines, -" Englisl. Patent Levers"
etc, annually thrown upon this market. in
countless numbers, by European workshops,
watches which are the refuse of their fac
tories, unsaleable at home and perfectly
worthless everywhere.
Thi. object we have accomplished, and
now we have TO announce, that we have COM
menced the manufacture OF watches OF the
very highest Grade known to Chro-
nomeiry. nnequallcd by anything hitherto
made by ourselves and unsurpassed by any
thing in the world. For this purpose we
have heamplest facilities. We have erect
ed an addition TO our main buildings ex-
nressly for this branch of our business, and
have filled II with the best workmen in our
service. Profting 10y our long experience.
We have remodelled the form Of our watches
Introducing such Improvements as have been
suggested and proved to be good from time
to time, and have instituted new and severe
tests of isochronism, adjustment aud CON-
pens.tion. New machines and appliances
have been constructed, which perform their
work with consummate delicacy and exact
;tude. and the choicest and most approved
materials onl, are used. Nothing IN facts
wanting either in mechanical principles, ma
teriai or workmanship to ensure perfection
in the result.
We continue 20 manufacture our other
well known qualities Under the following
names
Appleton, Tracy & Co.," "P. 5,
Bartlett" And the " Soldiers Watch
Gym. Ellery."
The latter, the lowest priced watch we
make, is substantial, reliable time piece,
cased in sterling silver-hunting pattern, and
is not liable TO get out Of order either in
marching riding or fighting. All the above
described watches. including the .frest,
which az named AMERICAN WArcH Cox
r.xY," are sols by watch dealers generally
throughout the country.
