ELNoRE, y. Oct. 1867.
EnIToRs JouRSAL:-The Ottawa county
Fair, was held at Hartford last week and il
was our pleasure tn visit there during she
Fair.
The display was not large--u point of
fact there was but little tc be seen, par OF
bob sleds," pair of bed quilts, half dozen
pictures, a few potatoes. squashes, pumpkins
pears and watermelons, several horses and a
few hundred people, being about all there was
of the Ottawa County Fair. The chief al :
traction was the Base Ball Clubs, playing
for the prize S25, offered by the society, to
the best Base Ball Club in the county.
There were four clubs entered, two from El-
more, the Portage and Independent, one
from Geroa and one from Pt. Clinton. The
Portage played the Genoa Club, and the
Independent played the PIT. Clinton Club.
Both the Elmore clubs were victorious. aud
the prize lay between them. As there was
not time TO finish the game Thursday, the
match ca me off, Friday. The Portage Club
won the prize by score of 90 to ID on 5 in

The election passed off here very quietly,
the Democratic tide setting inward pretty
| strong, the naturalized current tending all the
same way, and the consequence was the
largest democratic majority ever had in
Harris township. There is one consolation
we have; the party was thoroughly cleans
ed Of all chaff and unsound grain. All the

veterans" voted Constitutional Amend

The Election.

'Not so, bad as it seems" is the title
of an old play which we may use this
week in speaking of the election news
of last week. In Ono, it is true, we
have lost the Amendment by about so,
900, maioHy, and the Legislature is
Democratic by one or two in the Sen
ate and four in the House; but Gen.
Hayes and the Republican State Ticket
is elected by majority reported at not
less than 5000, and which the official
vote may swell to 5000.
In Pennsylvania the Republicans are
not defeated, as at first reported. We
have majority of 90 in both branches
of the Legislature; but Sharswood,
Democrat, is elected Supreme Judge
by small majoIity-probably less than
a thousand.
In INDIANA the election was only for
county officers. The vote was small
but there are no great Democratic
gains. The aggregate will show Re-
publican majority in the State.
Iowa goes Republican by $4,000 at
increased majority of about eight
thousand. The free-liquor Republicans
in few of the cities voted against
their party, on account of the strong
liquor laws passed by the Legislature
and thereby gave few Democratic
gaius," but this was more than made
good in other localities. Iowa stands
firm just as she did in 1862, wher
most of the loyal States fooled the De
mocracy with the idea of "a great po
ltical reaction"

Several persons examined the dress, and
upon trying to tear the silk, it was discover

fact fully demonstrated that silk dress goods
are much more durable than the bones in the
human frame.

@ An effort is being made, on the
mart of some members of congress, TO 50
far change the declared purpose OF a ma
iority TO transact no other business except
such as related to reconstruction, and
there is some late indication that they
may succeed, though it is apparently SET
tied that the impeachment question may
be passed by this session, and assigned 10
"a future session. The trlumplS OF the
Liberal in Mexico may call for early
legislative action, and the Indian wars
ought to be stopped, and perhaps con-
gress may try to do it at this session.

amendment to the first act-after under
going some changes, passed the house OH
the 9th 10y a vote of ll9 TO 81 The
question will doubtless be adjusted by a
