Mr.. EDITOR = Having attended our
county fair, | must say, was pleased to
see our farmers take enough interest to
go, if they did take nothing with them.
Who would call fair failure with such
crowd of people, and such fair crowd?
But the competitors were not as many as
might be desired. To remedy this,
have one suggestion to make: Let the
list of premiums, for next year, be pub
lished Immediately, and let the people
know that there will be a fair certain, and
sure. It is customary to give few weeks
notice, Ia horse, COW, or bushel of
wheat, don't grow in a,few weeks, and a
prize piece, of mechanism is,not made in
a few days. I'hope the managers will
see the propriety of publishing the pre-
MUM list for next year Immediately; by
so doing they might give larger prem
ums, as they would have greater competi-
ton and more visitors. So much TOR the
fair. have word to say about fruit
trees. If Butler county would improve
itself, it must patronize those who have
labored to improve 1t. Every year com
panies of sharper's take thousands of dol
lars cut of this county for fruit trees,
when [ say from my own experienced J
they can. obtain better trees, better adapt
ed to our soil, sooner transplanted, and
more likely to be genuine as Labelled from
the Rural Hill Nursery of Silas Pearce.
This gentleman is no particular friend of
mine, but have purchased trees from
him, and I only write this in the spirit
which should influence every

Washington News.

The announcement that Gen. Grant
submitted to the Secretary of War list
of one hundred Ihjor aud Brigadier Gen.
erals for muster out, will of course cause
flutter among the double and single
starred gentry now reposing on their lau.
rels in easy positions through the ccun.
try.
The Lieutenant General recommends
the immediate reduction to their original
positions in the regular army of most of
the officers of that service now serving as
Major and Brigaeier Generals of volun-
teers. OF course the political prcssute
brought to bear on the Secretary to pre-.
vent this wholesale dacapitation is vcfs
great but the result is inevitable. Stars,
iii this instance, are bound TO succunb
to the bars and other badges of inferior
rank
The Central National Bank of Boon
vile, Missouri, and the first National
Bank of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, have been
designated as repositories of puplic mon
eys.

THE CITIZEN.

As we intimated last week, it is i'm
possible for us to furnish the CITIZEN
10 our readers at the old rate of 81 80 per
annum. In doing SO, thus far, we have
been losing money, instead of making a
living by its publication. That was the
price of a paper when labor and material
we're low. and when one dollar would buy
"a s.much as three will now-when -four
was worth from so so to So 90 per bar
rel, coffee Is and sugar s cts. per pound.
OF course, when such great changehas ta-
ken place in prices generally ,itisimpossible
to avoid it in every department. We
have accordingly concluded to publish
our paperin future at 50 90 per year, if
paid in advance, or within the year, and
s2 50if not paid till after the years sub
scription is due. There is not paper
published in the State, that we have any
knowledge Of, that is published under
these figures We have run about year
longer than our neighbors, at old prices,
and in consequence find ourselves out of
pocket in the operation. In this change
xs are only advancing our rates one-fourth
when many of the necessities of life have
gone up from eight'to ten fcurths.!
When we know that our paper is read
lby large number, we feel more interest
lin making it attractive than we otherwise
would. Congress will soon meet now,
and important political questions will be
before it. We intend to keep the readers
of the CITIZEN posted on all important
questions that may come before that dis
,tinguished body, touching reconstruction
the rights of the rebels-the rights of
deserters-or rather their disabilities
the policy of confscation, &c. Fresh
Legislation may be asked of the Legisla-
ture. in reference to local bounty, &c, of
all movements on this subject, we will
keep our readers advised. In addition to
this, the CITIZEN will give its readers the
legal news-the Sheriff's sales, Registers
accounts, proceedings in partition, list of
Jurors, &C., all of which will interest our
readers. In addition to this, summary
of general news; variety of wit and
humor; the markets, vita agricultural
items, &c., may be constantly looked for.
Acting upon the principle, then, Of olive
and let live" let us take fresh start in
the journey of life. Sustain us in our
effort to maintain an independent Repub-
sloan paper, and our'word for it, the col
,umns of the CITIZEN shall always be
found pleading tho cause of the weak
against the strong-the industrious yeo-
man and mechanic against the impcrious
advances of the aristocrat, and on all oc-
casions pleading in behalf of the educa-
ton and moral and political elevation of
the ignorant. and downtrodden, believing
that by this-policy only can our country
reach that hight of moral and political
greatness, which it is her right-pay, even
sher duty to attain.

A CARD.

Having retired from the printing busi.
ness, it has become indispensably and alb
stlutely necessary for me to close up the
business of the late american. 1t will
be of mutual advantage, to me and to
those indebted, if they will pay at an
early day, without having any trouble or
any bad feeling. l need not say that the
large amount due to m, is needed-our
friends know that it is. Let US hope that
this appeal will be met by an honorable
and prompt response.
DAVID Ii. MACKEY is our aut horzed
travelling agent, and his receipts for mon.
ey paid will be good. lie is now, in con.
ncctiou with other business, engaged in
travelling the county, and we hope our
friends will respond promptly when he

One Dollar and Fifty Cents per year

"'Fenfan-Wh hat Does ItMean!''

Feniaa is word that puzzle people
who do not pay much attention to the
curiosities of literature, and the Fenians
of to-day have made it so important that
it is, we may assume, worth not little
attention, though the subject is difficult
one to handle, unless the writer be an
Irishman, aud well booked upon it. As
far back as the early years of the Chris
tan era there existed in Ireland militia
ry brotherhood, or militia, called Fianna
irina. In the third quarter of the third
century this body was commanded by
Finn McCnmhal, son-in-law of the fami
GUS King Cormac Ulfadha, but peter
known to the Saxops as Fingal, who, like
President Lincoln, was assassinated.---
This brotherhood became divided, the
members quarreling bitterly, as Irishmen
sometimes will, the Clan Boisgne being
headed by 0ssian, or Osin, the son Of
Finn, and the Clan Norma being the 9TH
,erparty. The former claimed precedence
over all other soldiers aud the npshot
was that after having defed even the
throne they were assailed, in the reign of
King Barbre, son of Cormac, and anhila-
ted, almost to a man, 0ssian falling by
the soyai. hand no doubt with shille-
lagh in it. fOssian's followers were call.
ed Fians, and the battle that was so fatal
to them was that cf Gabhra. The Fen
ian heroes became favorites with the Ir-
ish bards and romancerc, and the critics
say that it is on their productions, some
times called Fenian. Poems, and others yet
more ancient, that Macpherson founded
his celebrated works, concerning which
there was SO much bot blood, and so ma
ny hot words, in the last centuary- The
reader probably remembers the conversa-
ton in Scott's Aatiqupry, between NJ.
-Oldbuck of Monkbarns and his Highland
nephew, Capt. Hector Mcintyre, in which
thelatter stands upstoutly for the anthem
ticity of Macpherson's Ossian. He quotes
his uncle from the original, translation
himself some portions of a dialogue be-
tween Saint Patrick and Ossian, in which

COMMuNICATIONs.

Mr. EpIroR.-No. i mo person
could have the least idea of the greatness
of thisinumbcr without he could have
been in Centrevilc the next day after the
election. This etrongh-hold of the Bo-
gus Democracy, for several years this
place has given strong Democratic major
tiles, and the supposition was that it was
the Egypt of America. The last place
that would give way to the abolition
hordes. Bpt'that fatal l was ruinous to
the Democrat party. Yes !, never did a
peacock strut with more ostentation and
pride than did the true Union men of
our Borough, when the votes were count
ed, and said l against the party that vo-
ted in solid phalanx against the right of
suffrage for the soldiers. Just say l to
a Centreville Democrat, and he will curse
till he is blue, yes, this fatal has ruined
our party. But by aaotheI fall election
we expect to ruin it worse, and bury it so
deep in the sea of oblivion that Gabriel's
trumpet will fail toresurrect it! Goodf1r

Official returns have not yet been re-
.ccived from the entire State; but enough
has been learned to enable us to say tina:
our majority in the State will reach about
22,e00. This, considering the quiet char
acter. of the canvass, is indeed encoura-
.ging; and gives assurance that we will
have no trouble in carrying the State aext
sfall, for Governor, by 10000. Did not
the Constitution stand in the way, we
could re-elect Gov. Curtin by not less
;than 5Q,0e0 majority. The friends Of
the Union have; indeed, great cause of re-
ioicing. Not word has been heard from
/; the opposition since the evening of the
election. Soldiers, even, heading theil
ticket, did not prevent the people frem
pronouncing their verdict with emphesis
sOur own county might have done-much
;better. But considering the fact, that
our farmers were all engaged taking care
of their Buckwheat crop, We have nc
sright to complain. Our county is still
.invincible, and viii, we doubt not, dou.

the latter asks ado you compare your
psalms to the tales of the bare armed Fen
ians?" when his uncle asks i: "Arc you
-snre you are translating that last epishet
correctly, Hector 7" "Quite sure" an
swered Hector, doggedly. because l
should have thought the nudity might
have quoted as existing in different part
of the body" We presume that our mod
ern Fenians take their name from those
ancient Irish heroes who figured so long
ago, and of whom the bards used to sing,
that they inspire to be military frater-
nifty, or brotherhood, like the Fianna
Eirinn, who nourished when Cormac was
King, and to be the champions of Ire
land, and in that way to win the praise of
poets and the love of ladies'.
