PRESIDENT LuecoLN And FAllmYs-We
are under obliaaions to S. SELLEcK ACO.,
Columbus, for large and splendidIy exc
cuted steel plate engraving Of President
Lincoln and Family. Che likeness Of the
President is perfect, the group admirably
arranged, and taken altogetherit is one of
the handsomest things of thekind we have
seen.
MONSTER BEErZhbeet was sent to our
office a few days since, by Mrs. cnAs. NEIL,
which beats anything in the beet lin that
ever came under our observation, and
speaks wei for the sou in which it was
grown and the skill Of the e~ultivator. IT
is beautifnIly formed, perfectly solid, and
weighs 10X lbs. Mrs. n. labelled it the
Delaware Beets'
We learn a battle was fought on the east
side of il river last Saturday afternoon
between several returned soldiers and two
noted Troy politicians of the Democratic
persuasion. b soldiers came of victo-
rious, and b vauquished took home with
them numerous bruises and COMMISSIONS as
remembrancers of their temerity in at
tempting a pitched battle with veterans
The trouble grew out of some remarks in
reference to the late contest, on the partsof
the Trojans, that were offensive to the

FINE STocK.-The farmers of our county
are constantly progressing in the improve
mentor stock by the Importation of choice
animals from other States. Messrs. Dun
LAP &MoKNNIEy of Radnor, have recent
ly brought from Kentucky a large number
Of Cotswold and Leicester Sheep, which
are splendid specimens, and said to be IN
surpassed. by any Of those breeds in this
section Of the State. such enterprise is
highly commendable, and the benefits re-
suIting to the agricultural interests of the
county valuable and lasting.
SoLDIERs, DIsoHAReEs.-It is an impor-I
tant matter to soldiers to Jake care of their
discharge papers, the want of which might,
at some future day, occasion them serious
inconvenience and perhaps loss. To afford
facilities for having them preserved, the
Legislature during the last session passed.
an act providing for their being put on re-
cord by the Recorder ofthe county in which
the soldier resides; and when thus record
ed, should the discharge be lost a certified
p which can at any time be procured,
will answer all purposes for which the orig
inal could be used. The fee for recording
is only IS cents.
Thes1s6th Regiment, having been paid
off anddischarged, that portion Of it conn
posed Of Delaware county boys have re-
turned to their homes. Having entered
the service about the time the rebellion was
engagedi in its. death struggle. it was not
the fortune of the ls6th to be called into &C
ton; but this was no fault Of the boys, who
offered heirservice for the express pur-
pose Of fghtings and if the opportunity
had occurred we doubt not they would
have proved themselves as brave and re-
liable on the field as were their brethren of
the other regiments who Joined the army
at an earlier day.
THE COUNTY FAIR-The Fair is in pro-
gress as our. paper goes to press, conse-
quently we are unable to speak definitely
as to its success, or notice in detail its prom
inent features. We spent an hour or two
Wednesday forenoon in a hurried inspec-
ton of its several departments, and though
in some of them there is a falling off as
compared with former exhibitions, in 9TH
ers there is a decided Improvement, and
ON the whole we regard it as equal to any
of its predecessors and a highly creditable
display of the agricultural, domestic and
mechanical products of the county. The
stock pens are well hlled-the show OF
sheep unusually fneTswine, horses and
cattle, very good; the fine thoroughbred
herd of Messrs. Hills q Jones being a
prominent feature in the latter department.,
and making a display that would do credit
to any exhibition. The hall devoted to
farm products, vegetables, fruits, house
hold productions, etc, is well filled, and a
highly ereditable feature of the fair. There
is a good collection of farm implements
and hehan devoted to domestic fabrics is
pretty well filled. The display of green
house plants and-c q flowers is very good
the number of articles in the hall devoted
to fine arts is quite limited. The weather
is spendid, the grounds in excellent con
dition, the attendance very large, and ev'
erything promises to pass off pleasantly
and to the mutual satisfaction of the man
ayers and the public.
