SEcrroNALIsn IN NEW SHAPES.

We notice that some Of the Western
Journals, in discussing the question OF pro
lection and other matters in which the New
England States are supposed to be specially
interested. use language descriptive oi the
scliishness. narrowness and overbearing
tyranny of the latter section, that sounds
amazingly like the dcnunciations Of the
aYankec States which we were accus-
TONED TO hear from the South some years
aqo. They are working up a sectional feel
inc which, however our eyes may be bind
ed 10 il under present circumstances, un-
ouestionahly has in it elements OF danger
for the future. Ii is not only Copperhead
nopcrs which are culpable in this matter,
but Radical Republican journals, such as
the Chicago Tribune are among the most
bameable. On the other hand, there are
extreme protectionist journals in the East
ern States. such as the New York Tribune
which denounce the free trade overtures
So widely held in the West in language as
violent as they formerly applied TO the pro-
| slavery doctrines held in the South and
| seem 10 regard free trade as no less an out
rage upon human nature than slavery itself.
/ AStbe antagonism widens and deepens, and
/ the sectional feeling which is new making
! It's apncarance in connection with the sub
! iect becomes pronounced and intensified be-
/ tween the Western and New England States,
We shall probably have another struggle,
| which will require TO be under other control
than that Of heated and bigoted paFtisans &c
end in pacific sOlution.-Ne~ lorN A'"''s

Preparations for the Fair.

We notice the work of fixing up and pre-
pairing our Fair Grounds for the Far that
comes off on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day of next week, has been vigorously COM
menced, and it is understood that better ar
engagements for exhibiting articles will be
prepared than have been found at any previ-
Gus Fair.
The exhibit of articles in the Halls will OF
course depend upon the presentation by the
people of fruits, agricultural products, i'm
plements, mechanic arts, &c, and not upon
the fixtures, and it is hoped that no effort
will be spared to fill them.
Floral Hall will be fully prepared to re-
ceive Paintings and objects of rare merit t.
interest, which must be supplied mainly by
voluntary contributions, and it is hoped that
no one will withhold whatever they may
have to give TO the Fair.
Our Photograph Artists can do much t.
give interest, and we shall hope to see thu
Hall favored by their contributions.
Flowers of all kinds are much desired.
Our talented artist, Mr.. ]. G. Crawford
has been engaged to assist in arranging Flo
raj Hall, and any who are willing to furnish
for that department, win do the Society {
favor by notifying him of any thing rare OF
curious for exhibition
That department depends very much upon
the assistance to be afforded by the Ladies'
and it is hoped they will not be behind in
efforts to make it interesting.

Shooting ARRAY.

An affray which will probably result ia
tally to one of the parties engaged, took place
at the house of Mrs. Leggett, near Shedd,
Clark s. Co.'S rolling mill, on Tuesday
night. There had previously been some diff
fculty between Hugh Moore and John Will
lard and Thomas Leggett, and about nine
o'clock on the evening in question as Moore
was passing by, these two men in company
with one John Willard, came out of the house
and assaulted him, beating him badly. In
the course of the encounter Moore received q
shot in the upper part of the forehead, fired,
as he says, by Willard. He was carried TO
his house and surgical assistance was rem
dered by Drs. Fowler and Cunningh am
The ball, it was found, had pene trated the
skull, and the wounds considered to be NOR
tai. Willard and Leggett decamped before
a warrant was issued for their arrest. Nd
hOnins Register, Sept. 6.
RE- Willard and Leggett came the next day
after the quarrel to Warren, and staid till the
next morning at the Franklin House, where
they were arrested and taken to Youngstown
for trial. Moore was reported alive on Sat,
urday.

RObbery.-Arrest of a Thief.

A colored man named Day was arrested at
the A. & G. W. depot in this place, on Fri
day last, on suspicion of being the perpetra-
tor of several robberies committed about
town the previous night. Some half dozen
or more dwellings had been entered, and va
rious articles carried off. The hostler at Gil
more's hotel had q watch and pocket book
stolen. Officer Brooks got an inkling that
Day was possibly guilty of at least a share
in the burglaries, and coming across him al
the depot, arrested him. Day was disposed
to resist, but Brooks soon cured him of his
combativeness, and proceeded to search him.
A number of watches were found in his pos
session; also coats, pants, &C., evidently be-
longing to some n else. Day was commit.
ted for trial at the next term of Court. His
prospects for tarrying a while at COlumbu:
are iattering. 1t is generally believed he
has ~accomplices about town. Some of them
have been doing a large business in visiting
cellars, and stealing pork, hams, bread, ant
provisions generally.

KINSMAN.

SEPT. g, 1866.
Mr.. EDIToR:-In the absence Of your reg
ular correspondent at Kinsman, I propose
TO furnish an item from this place.
Among the Marty Pioneers of Trumbull
County, are Riverius BidweIl, Esq, and his
wife, for the last fifty years, citizens of this
place. Having raised q family of children,
long since gone from the paternal roof, they
live to enjoy the society of others. Many
an urchin has been enticed into their beauti-
full yard and Toasted to cake, tarts, fruit, books
or pictures, and sent on his way rejoicing.
These things have been endured so long
that the community 'only waited for q pre-
text for an opportunity to come down on
them" Such an opportunity was presented
last Thursday, Sept. fifth, it being the Sew
enty-Sixth anniversary of the old g~entleman'i
birth day.
The advance was made by the old pioneers,
about noon, and being strongly supported by
q force of the middle aged and youth, about
a hundred strong, the old gentleman was
completely surprised, and surrendered at dis
~cretion.
The afternoon passed of pleasantly in so
cial misunderstanding the. incidents Of
the olden time and discussing the affairs OF
the present, until the signal for supper, which
was tastefully arranged by ladies and prop
erly discussed by all. After supper short
con gratulatory speeches were made by Dea.
Burnham, Rev. Eldred, Capt. Hulse and
others, with singing by the old folks and
singing by the young until the evening shad-
ows warned US of the approaching darkness,
and the Boys of sixty and Girls of ffty-fve
withdrew, leaving the field IN the hands of
the youths until nine O'Clock.
The utmost rood feeling prevailed n all
and wishing long life and many retuns Of
this anniversary day.
The Congregational Society have COM
menced repairs on their church, and 1 under
stand 1t is to be thoroughly reftted with hea,
ting furnaces and new desk, painting and
granting, &c. &c, until it shall not be sur,
passed by any church in the county. x. K.
