The FAIR.-Agreeably to an un.
derstanding (as we are informed
made last year, the stock men OF
Pickaway county were to unite with
our county at the Fayette County
Agricultural Fair this year in the
exhibition of stock, and in accord
ance with this understanding we
expect to see the best stock of Pick
away county on exhibition at our
county Fair next month. Other
counties are expected to be on hand
with their fine stock to compete for
the S25, $50 and 500 prizes; and
we think we hazard nothing in say
ing that the finest collection of
stock will be exhibited here on that
occasion, that has ever been shown
at any county Fair in Ohio, or per-
haps in the United States.

The GREENBACK BUSINESS. The
Democratic platitude of issuing sew.
eral hundred cubic yards of Green
backs wherewith to pay the National
debt is careful not to recognize the
fact that the nation is bound to pay
the greater portion thereof in coin.
1t being impossible to get coin
enough to pay this at once the hon
est Democracy will certainly pay in
its equivalent, and when they get in
to power and get their Greenback
scheme started we will have them
running all over the country hunt
ing up the different issues of bonds,
ascertaining when they were origi-
nally bought, consulting q volume
of several thousand pages of quota,
tions of gold and paying this man
dollar for dollar Of that one, one
ten; another, one twenty; another,
one thirty, and so on through all the
gradations of eight and quarter
cents clear up to two sixty; that
each man may be paid just his pro-
portion-just what he paid. Those
that have owned and sold bonds
will also be chased up by them, and
their gains demanded or losses
made up. The swarm of govern
ment employees that this will ne
cessitote, it is fondly hoped will be
large enough to give every Demo
crat an office; and compensate him
in rich stealings for his long shiver,
out in the cold. This is the true
secret of the popularity Of this
scheme with the Democracy
gainesville Courier.

A business Like courtship.

There is a story extant about i've
minutes courtship between tnrisihg
and busy merchant, OF watering-place
in England, and lady, for whom, as
conjunction with deceased friend, ne
was a trustee. The lady called at his
counting house, and said that her bust
ness WAS 10 consult him on the propriety
or otherwise Of her accepting an ofier OF
marriage whichshe had received. Now,
for the first time, occurred 70 the Bristol
merchant the idea Of his holy estate In
his own case.
Marriage, said he, listlessly turning
over some West India correspondence.
"Well. | suppose everybody ought 10
marry. though such thing never oc-
cnrred 10 me before. Have you given
the gentleman an affirmative answer Z"
"No."

gagged in the matter

"Well, then, madam" said be, turn
ing round on his Office stool, a" If that be
the case, and if you could dispense with
courtship, for which / have no time, and
think you could be comfortable with me,
am your humble servant to commando
There were people who thought that
the lady had a purpose in going there,
butifss, che prudently disguised it She
said she would consider the matter. The
Bristol merchant saw her out with the
same GOODNESS as if she was one of his
correspondents, and when she was gone
five minutes was once moreimmersed In
his letters and ledgers. A day or two
after. he had a communication from the
lady, accepting his offer, very consider
ateiy excusing him from an elaborate
courtship, and leaving him to name the
most convenient day" They were
married.

Freaks of a Rivsr-The Missouri on its

Freaks Of q River-The Missouri on us
Travels.
On the night of the 9th the water in
the Missouri river made grand rush
across the narrow neck of land at Peru,
a distance of about quarter of a mile,
thereby shortening the river nearly TWEEN
ty miles Hamburg and Sidney Land
inrs, which are situated in this bend,
we're left several miles from the river.
This is not an uncommon freak of
the "Big Muddy" as no one can
tell to-day where it viii be to NOR
row. On the morning after the river
made the cut the steamers Cornelia and
Miner came around the old channel, and
after having made the entire circnit OF
the bend, arriving at the upper end Of
the cut were drawn into the current,
which at that time was running verv
swiftly, and carried through in spite of
themselves, thus losing twenty miles
travel in q few minutes They were
compelled to make the circuit over
again. The Deer Lodge, on her way
from the mountains, not being advised
Of this fact, was taken down side
ways, iujuring herself considerably.
At present writing boats are making
trips up and down through the new chan
mel with all ease. This shortening has
necessarily made greater fall than the
river, and the low lands below town were
completely drained on last Sunday, not
outstanding the Missouri was on the
rise. This will be of great benefit to
that part Of the country. We understand
that small steamboat is to be immedi-
ately put in operation between this place
and Peru, on the Nishnabotana river,
which stream has been pronounced r.yi.
gable by old settlers for large boats up
as far as this place.--FremoHt (Ioscd)
