The County Fair.

1t will be seen that we publish this week
the Programme of the Eighth Annual
Cattle Show and Fair of the Hancock
County Agricultural Society. The Trus-
tees have issued taking show-bill. and
have embraced within the range Of the ar
ticle, upon which premiums are offered,
almost all the fruits of our Northern soil,
and many articles manufactured in this
locality. We doubt, also, whether any
Society in the State offers more liberal
premiums, or labors more diligently and
earnestly to create healthful public feel
ing in favor of vigorous effort to improve
our farms and farm stock. We think we
have seen in many of the towns greatly
improved feeling prevalent in regard to
our agricultural resources, and consequent
duties, and all in consequence of this So
cicty. Say what we will of it,-that it
has not accomplished all we desired and
expected.-it is true that it has excited a
healthful influence in the county, and is
still doing so. Many persons were stimu-
lated by it to set about measures to i'm
prove their stock and to-day. we have
ten head of improved stock, to one, say
dozen years since. Perhaps, to-day, the
various kinds Of farm stock owned in the
county has doubled in value, for the same
numbers, not taking in the account. the
rise in value consequent upon the rise OF
all kinds of products. This difference
arises from the improved herds introduced.
The attention of the farmers was directed
to this subject in great measure by this
Society.-or at any rate it was very much
stimulated by it. Previous to the iorma-
ton of the Society. Capt. VIM. Thompson
of West Trenton, A. IL. Buzzel Esq, of
Amherst. Mcssrs. Parker & Pearl of
Dedham, Capt. VIM. ii. Black of Els
worth, and Thomas Smith, ESQ, of Surry.
had devoted some attention to the import
ant subject Of improved stock. These
gentleman were the pioneers in the good
work and at the formation OF the Socie
ty were the recognized authorities in the
matter of stock in the county.
But, leaving these gcneralities, let us
ask the attention of the farmers of the
county and their wives to the List of Pre-
miums offered, and invite them in the
name Of the Society to take hold and
make the Eighth Annual Cattle Show and
Fair the best of all yet. To do this will
require that you take some interest in the
subject beforehand, and prepare to bring
something for exhibition. From the loca-
ton and formation of the county, We are
fayorably circumstanccd to render our
county fair one of the best Of the State.

Democratic Co. Convention.

This Convention met at the Court House
on Wednesday, and was an unusual quiet
assemblage, j. w. lIinckley, Esq. Of
Blue.lill was made chairman, and G. X.
Higgins of Surry. and NJ. X. Chase oil
Bluehill. Secretaries. Messrs. Wiswcll OF
Ellsworth, Hopkins Of Orland, Thomas Of
Eden, Graves Of Trenton and Rea Of Sedg-
wick, were appointed committee on creden-
tails. Committed reported whole number
of delegates as sixty-one. Voted to dis
pcnse with reading the names. Repor,
accepted.
While the Committee was out Mr.. Rich
ards was called npon for speech and re-
sponded. He said the Democratic party
was on the road to prosperity, and it must
stick to its integrity. 1t will have to take
part in the reorganization of the govern
meDt. Let it make its nominations and
then vote for them, marking every quasi
democrat who sells out to the other party.
Mr.. Hinckley, the chairman made a
speech. His forte is not in making politi-
cal speeches. He is good presiding Off
Ger. Our John Babson might take some
useful lessons of him.
Mr.. Hinckley had something to say
about Copperheads," the " Hartford Con-
venton," and the inevitable negro. A
man of Mr.. Hinckley's ability and reading
should know better than to argue against
negro Suffrage. on the ground of nferiori
ty of races. We let white men yote,-the
good, the bad and the indiicrcut,-and
don't require that they shall be equal to
Mr.. llinckley in intellectual ability. Some
negroes who don't vote know very much
more than some white men who do. The
question is not one of social equality, nci-
ther.
The Convention nominated for Senator
for the eastern part of the county. by ac-
clamation. WIN. L. Preble of Cranberry
Isle. and John Hopkins of Orland. the old
nominees benjamin Rea of Scdgwck
was nominated for Sheriff, Calvin Berry of
Hancock for County Commissioner. Hosea
b. WardwclI of Penobscot for County
Treasurer, and Leonard j. Thomas of
Eden for Clerk of the Courts. The latter
was the only nomination made by ballot.
and Mr.. Thomas received all the votes but
five which We're for c. y. Spoiiord of Deer
Isle.
The committee on resolutions through
the chairman, Mr.. Wiswcll. reported those
adopted at the State convention. After
voting to support the nominations made,
adjourned.

The Cheating Convention.

We are sorry our Bro. of the Wig feels
obliged to NEEDLE with our county politics.
We thought it was enough to have Bangor
politicians, not connected with the press,
meddllng impertinently with affairs no,
specially within their jurisdiction and with
in our county. without having our usually
modest bro. Wheeler reading our people n
lecture. We are certain if he knew the
true state Of the ca>c,-the unwrittcn por-
ton of its history, ,chat has not get been
made public, that he would not be so fast
witness in the case. and volunteer tn
make decisions ON the action of the Con-
ventinn in particular cases.
The article which it publishes, is, in
many particulars untrue. and it is nothing
but clumsy special pleading. We ask the
attention of the Wing to the Address pub
lished in the Auerican in this issue, signed
by some of the oldest and most influential
leading men in the county. Will it pub
fish it SO that it is readers can have both
sidesl
The address is laid over until next

Waukeag Neck-A Chowder
Party.

WaukeaS Neck is polnt OF land extend
ing in a southerly direction from the lody
of the town of Sullivan, and has, perhaps,
a settlement of some thirty or forty fami-
lies. 1t affords fine drive to those, to
quote the poet,
-"Who woudst see the lovely and the wild
Mingled, in harmony, on Natures face;
and reaches out into Frenchman's Bay
some two or three miles. The road is not
like paved street. but the scenery, the
quiet stiffness and the beauty of the dis
tant prospect makes one enjoy each rod of
the Travelled way, until the rural home
stead Of one of the substantial farmers of
the local but famous butter making town
of Sullivan is reached. Thther we,-the
we to he understood in the plural form
this time-wended our way on Thursday
last week, to make part and parcel of
chowder party. Reaching this seemingly
out of the way spot, we noticed quite a
settlement stretching along the shore of
what is called Point Harbor. This settle
ment had a novel look; and on enquiring
was told that the buildings belonged to
porgie catehers. The appearance was de-
cidedly business-ike. Some eight or ten
of these establishments. with all the ne
cessary fixtures for conducting the bust.
ness, gave the former quiet shelter, of
Point Harbor, business aspect. The
buildings for conducting the business are
temporarily erected. These are comforta-
bic and tidy boarding houses, made of
boards, chcaply constructed, but answering
every purpose intended; and still other
buildings for boiling these oleaginous in
habtants of the sea. One Of the estab-
lishments, that belonging to Messrs. Dur
fee & Co., had a steam-engine for steaming
the fish, and for various uses in the bust
ness. This firm is manufacturing guano
from the 'chum,'' or refuse left after ey-
pressing the oil. 1t seemed to be in a
flourishing condition. The business gives
employment to large number of persons,
who find plenty to do in tending nets, col
oring and mcnding them, and in working
the presses which expresses the oil. The
amount of Irvine used in Eastern Maine
for nets and seines, is almost beyond con-
cepton, rs the extent of this business is
hardly imagined by our people, am
told that there are as many as fifty Of
these establishments about Frenchman's
Bay. The money invested in it is quite
large.
But we commenced to relate the par.
ticulars Of a chowder-par;y and left off at
farmer Beams 80 we retraee our steps, or
recall our wandering pen, and take new
start. Casting our eye to the shore We
espied some newly caught fish being pre-
pared for the offering. Presently the
wagon of .sfxtures' for the chowder came
