The County Fair.

Again we jog your memory about
County Fair this fall. The Agricultural
Society should have meeting soon to
make arrangements for the Fair being held
here. Washington county will join Us.
and Nemaha can be invited to participate
This is going to be bountiful year
Large crops and vegetables will be raised
and our farmers want an opportunity to
show them. There is some fine stock in
the county, and to exhibit it, to compare
it, to brag over it and exchange opinions
about it our farmers want an opportunity
We heard farmer say he would give five
dollars towards getting up Fair besides
paying his entry fees, as he had some stock
10 show; and we believe his case is SAM
pie of the general interest felt by the farm
ers. Good ground can be found handy to
town where Fair can be held at little
expense and much pleasure ana profit ex-
perienced. We are bound to have Fair,
and if the present officers cannot take the
matter in hand, let them call meeting,
resign, and have officers elected who will
put the thing through.

Hon. Thos. Butcher of this county has
harvested his crop Of twenty-five acres of
winter wheat, and he assures that it will
weld thirty bushels to the acre. He thinks
it the best crop of wheat in the State, and
he intends to compete for the highest pre-
miums at the State and county Fairs
Mr.. Butchers crop last year yielded forty
six bushels to the acre. He raises the
large white May wheat, and he has been
so success sful in its cultivation tha. his
neighbors are now Offering him two dollars
per bushel, in order to secure their seed
from him for next falls sowing. Winter
wheat seldom fails to be full crop in this
county-Atchison Free Press.
Our farmers had better try to procure
some of that seed.

Prof. Nudge, State Geologist, and
Major Horne Assistant were making their
examinations in our vicinity last week.
They have nearly completed prel;mi-
nary survey Of the State South of the
Kansas River. Prof. Nudge says he has
found coal and salt enough in Kansas to
supply tie State for ten thousand years.
He informs us that there are two dis
tinct veins or formations Of coal, the upper
one, that which crops out in almost every
county, is from twelve to twenty inchees
thick and generally of good quality, the
lower vein is from four 20 six feet thick
and lies at a depth of abou, two hundred
feet from the surface at Leavenworth, crops
out about twenty miles below Fort Scott
and extends under the entire State so far
as they have examined. The Prof expects
in few weeks to be able TO Inform the
people in any given locality within ten
per cent Of the distance from the surface
to the lower coal bed, and to estimate the
number Of feet of rock, shales, soap stone.
soil, clay &C., that they will have to pass
through 10 sinking shaft in the centre
of any Of our towns. 1t will not be many
years before coal will be furnished at the
mouth of the shaft in any town in the
State for eight or ten cents per bushel.
Salt is abundant and Kansas will soon
be exporting, all we want is the capital to
deveIope our resources in this direction
Topeka Tribune.
We hope Prof Nudge will visit this Sec
ton of country and give it a thorough sur
vey. Valuable mineral deposits exist in
this region that will be great source of
revenue at some future day.

Hon. A. e.. Wilder.

We published some time ago an article
from the Conservative, stating that this
gentleman would not he candidate for
reelection. If it is so we but express
the regrets of nearly the whole State.
His course during the session that is
about closing, has been such as TO give the
people satisfaction. We think it bad pol
icy when good representative is secured,
to change at the end of his first term.
He is worth much more to his constit-
uents and the nation for a second term
than new member possibly could be. If
Mr. Wilder's reasons for refusing to serve
second term are not imperative, we hope
he may yet conclude to allow his name
to be used by his friends. If he does,
he will be reelected with bu, little if any
opposition.-Iopeka Record:

10 More Slavery in Maryland.

The Maryland Constitutional Conven-
ton has concluded its session of thirty
nine days by adopting the twenty-thrd
article of the bill of rights which provides
for the abolition Of slavery. 1t occasioned
stormy debate, but the loyal sentiment
was in the ascendant, and "My Maryland
is made forever free by vote Of SO
against 27.
This act of Maryland, as one of the
speakers remarked, with the movements in
the other Border States, brings the free
line down to the center Of the rebel terri
tory, and is death blow to the project of
establishing a slave confederacy. All
hail Maryland !-En.

A Lesson.

We take the following from the Leaven.
worth Bulletin it is none the less applica.
bic to this place:
awe had a conversation the other day
with gentleman who is visiting our city
with a view 10 making it his place of busi-
ness and residence. He is a man of
means. of enterprise, and of excellent char
acter. Withall he has large family of
sons and daughters. At home he is one
of those that give tone to society. In
short, he is type of just the class of per-
sons that is most desirable to aid in the con
structive process now going forward in our
city and slate. 1t will be instructive to OBJ
serve the inquiries he made of us. For ex-
ample: What is the condition of your
schools? How are they controlled? Have
you suitable buildings and apparatus ?
Could l fit my sons and daughters for the
higher institutions of the East? lam anx.
ious to know; for cannot think of taking
my family where they will have no such op-
portunilies.
"Then want to learn something alb out
youi CuuiCueS. AOW uIdLy udSc you. Ato
yonr citizens in general church-going peo-
pie 1t may seem odd to you that ask such
questions but am anxious to bring up
my family in the right kind ofsociety, and
very reluctant unnecessarily to expose them
to wicked and degrading influences. And
1 have always observed that the degree of
interest manifested in schools and church
es is certain test of the character of society
in any place.
One other thing I want to know. How
is the Sabbath observed in your city? Is
business done to any considerable extent ?
Do the authorities take cognizance of the
infraction af Sunday laws Is your place
in general quiet and orderly on the Sab
bath For would not settle in any COM
munity in which the obligations of the
Sabbath as day of rest is not recognised.
\ This is the substance of,h inquiries act
nally made by an excellent gentleman, a
worthy citizen where he resides, and a
,hrewd, observing and successful man of
business. What is the lesson? One which
people like ours is often too slow 10 learn.
