This week attended the New England Ag-
ricultural Society's Fair at Concord, N. H.,
and very interesting affair il was, despite the
dust. ilttr
The products OF the soil would hardly conf
pare with some of the Exhibitions have seen
in the West. Think have seen them sur
passed at the Sagadahoc County fair in your
State; yet / have never seen finer cattle even
in the famed West, particularly the herd Of
Carlos Pierce. az S ~ s,5a ' 9.
Mr.. P. was awarded several premiums, and
richly he deserved them. He brought seven
car loads to the Fair. He was also awarded
the first premium for best pair Of matched
horses. New England may well be proud Of
her show of horses as well as of her sheep
The Fair was well represented in the mechan-
ical department, and at Eagle Hall was large
exhibition of articles of home manufacture
and also horticultural exhibition, both really
good. Several of the New England Cover
nors were present, inclnding Gov. Cony Of
your State.
On my way to Concord made short stop
at Lowell, to see the monument that Massa-
chusetts has erected to her fallen sons.
Glorious old State she forgets not her sons,
adopted though they were, who have bravely
battled in her defcncel
Young Whitney was a native of your State,
young Ladd, of New Hampshire. They were
the first martyrs who fell in Baltimore.
One Of the inscriptions, which was an idea
of Gov. Andrews, and was taken from some
of the old classics, is as follows: ~
ANothing is here for tears, nothing to wall or
knock the breast, no weakness, no contempt,
dispraise or blame; nothing but well and fair
and what may quiet us in death so noble'
listened last Sabbath to deeply interest
ing discourse on the life and character of the
late George Liyermore Of Boston, by the Rev.
e. Everett Hale, from this text: ssNo man liv-
eth to himself, no man dieth to himself'--il-
Illustrating this noble, uesful life as one of the
brightest examples of public duty discharged
in private life. He was one who believed and
acted upon the belief that he was commission
ed to do good to every one with whom he came
in contact. And he did much more; his his
torical researches and contributions are inval-
liable; he largely aided in putting down the re-
beliion, he was successful merchant He ev-
er obeyed the injunction to ''rejoice with those
who do rejoice, and weep with those who
weep"
J The celebration of the fortieth anniversary
of the settlement of Rev. Thomas Savage, at
Bedford Center, n. H., took place Aug. Soth,
and was very interesting occasion. LII times
past have listened with pleasure and profit to
this veteran divine. -.rr
1t was, believe, in his vicinity, where the
minister once administered this caution to
crincline wearers: "Let the women beware,
when putting ON their profusc and expansive
attire, how narrow are the gates of paradise"

From -ATlsdmsas- The Indian Troubles
Friendly Feeling TO Be Caltjcated.
3 Fort SMITH, Ark, Sept. 10.
The Indian Council yesterday was taken up
in reading stipulations to be imposed on the
government upon all treaties in the South
west. The stipuiations propose a grand con-
solidation of all the Indian tribes into one
nation, the territory of which shall be the
present Indian Territory, and such other as
the government may decide upon. The tribes
now living in Kanzas are to be moved South,
and the southwestern tribes are TO be expected
to compel the Indians of the plains to observe
the treaties. The Indians now here say they
understand they were called to meet the late
rebel tribes and renew friendly relations with
them, and not TO make new treaties, which
they say uiey are unwilling and unauthorized
to do. But few Of the loyal tribes are now
here, but others are expected soon.
LATER Sept 11.-Replies were made to-
day by delegations present to the propositions
presented themon Saturday. All speak favor
ably of t1e policy of the government, and ap-
pear am .ious to renew friendly relations with
It, many of them rendering their aid ia bring
ing she hostile Indians of the plains to terms.
A messenger arrived to-day from the Coun-
Gil in session at Armstrong; Academy, held
by the Cherolzees and Choctaws, stating that
their delegation win arrive on Friday.
