ScoTT COUNTY FAIE-"ScULDuGGERY" ON
THE RACE TRACK.-On the fourth day Of the
Scott County Fair (Thursday) about 10000
people were in attendance, most of them hav-
ing been attracted by the announcement that
"Bsshaw" and "Tom Hyer" were to trot for
a special premium of 800. "Bashaw,"
however, did not make his appearance, hav-
ing suffered a severe sprSin in one of his
leaders in the contest of the day before.
We have already given the result of the
trotting in the afternoon, between "Tom Hyer'
and "Scalpel," LADY Peosta" and "White
Cloud" and Jersey Boy" and "Gen. Grant
the first named in each match winning
Both "Scalpel'' and "Jersey Boy" are travel
ing under assumed names, their owner, Mr..
Black, of Rochester, New York, hoping to
pick up few "Aats'' in the West, and with
them their well filled pocket books. These
horses should be ruled off every Fair ground
in the West. If our Fair grounds are to be
turned into race courses, wherein the lowest
kind of gambling, and the meanest of all
kinds of deception are to be practiced and
tolerated, the sooner they are done away
with the better it will be for the morals of
all concerned. 'Sca'per' won the last race
in 2:3s and 2:35, beating "Tom Hyer"-be-
tween whose owner and the the driver Of
"Scalpel' perfect understanding seemed to
exist-badly. That horse who has trotted
with, and sometimes puzzled "Bashaw" :,
should be beaten as bad as Tom was, in 1855,
is supremacy ridiculous, and shows some
thing rotten in Denmark. "-Daily, 18th.

A TERRIBLE DEATH.- During the terri.
bic confagration at Cohoes, N. Y, one Of
the work-women Kate Donnellg-jumped
from window, but her skirts caught in
window-sill, and in this position she was
burned to death. The cries of the poor girl
were agonizing in the extreme, but she was
beyond the reach of succor. A man went to
her aid upon ladder, and succeeded in reach
ing up to her, and getting hold of her, but her
skirts was so firmly fastened that he was
unable to pull her down and was finally forced
by the flames to leave her. Thus she hung and
burned to death, in the presence of thousands
of Mortified spectators. Her remains, charred
and blackened, were subsequently recovered.

SECOND ADvENr1srs. Springfield
(Mass.) Republican says: The annual camp
meeting Of the Second Adventists, which
commenced it's session at North Wilbraham a
week ago, closed its public services on Sun
day evening. The attendance was larger this
year than ever before, not less than seven
thousand persons being on the ground at one
time en- Sunday. One hundred tents were
pitched, and between eighty and ninety
preachers attended the meeting. All the
New England States were represented, as
were also New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri.
Canada and Nova Scotia. The subject of
the discourses related mostly to the coming
of Christ and the resurrection of the dead
On the latter subject there was some bad
blood manifested, and on Saturday those who
believe in the non-resurrection of the wicked
seeded from the majority, or those who be-
leve in a general resurrection, and formed an
association of their own.

'Now YOU LOOK LIKE A GENTLEMAN. y
Such was the remark We heard farmers
daughter make, short time since, to her
brother. He had been hard at work, and his
clothes and especially his boots, were covered
with dust and dirt. His cravat was united,
his hat slouched, and altogether he presented
rather an untidy appearance. he sat down,
took up paper, but seemed uneasy. AT
length q sudden idea seemed to strike him.
He sprang up with resolution in his eye
Presently the backing brush was heard in
the woodshed, and the broom whisp played
lovely tune on the dusty coat and pants
Shortly our Dung friend made his appearance,
smart and clean, and bright as BUTTON
Now you look like gentleman" said his
sister, and truly. Better still, he felt like
one.
Slovenly habits of dress are not favorable
to mental improvement. The young man
who, after he had cleaned and brushed his
clothes, 'look like gentleman" sat down to
a book with pleasure and profit. 1t was only
an hour to bedtime. But what of that? An
hour day spent in earnest study will enable
any Young man of ordinary intelligence to
lay up large stock of valuable information.
Had not this young man 'spruced up he
would have been tempted to "take a smoke, "
and stupefy his mind with the fumes of to-
bacco, instead of stimulating it with the
pleasant excitement always attending the &C
QUESTION of useful knowledge.
Every farmer should keep record Of his
labors, receipts, expenditures, etc. This duty
should be assigned to the farmers son. Let
the father talk over the matter with him and
let the son make the entries. The duty will
soon become delight and the father will
communicate his experience on the subject
coming under their notice. The son will feel
a growing attachment to the pursuits of agri-
culture, and will almost certainly become a
successful and intelligent farmer. But who
can sit down to this work covered with the
dust and dirt of the days labor2 Man is a
bundle of habits, and let the habit be once
formed of paying little attention to per.
sonal appearance and comfort, and it will
soon become pleasure, and occupy but a
few minutes time Gcnessee Farmer.
