THE CABINET ORGAN.-Mason g. Ham
Inns reputation, as the inventors and build
ers of that universal instrument, the Cabi-
met Organ has extended 10 the farthest
bounds of civilization. We know Of no
better illustration Of what genius and in
defatigable energy can bring TO pass than
this same Cabinet Organ, which has be-
come the formidable rival of the piano, in
the drawing-room, and of the pipe organ
in the church and chapel. Being appar-
emily determined that no; family in the
land shall have an excuse for being with
out an instrument SO promotive of social
enjoyment and domestic harmony, Mason
d Hamlin have got up new series, called
the " Portable Organ" with the same in
terror work, but with a smaller and plain
er case, the first style of which is afforded
at the unprecedented low price of seven

How THE FIRST PRINTED BALLOT
WAS REcEIvED.-George Sheldon of
Deerfield, Mass, has an original bona fide
electoral ticket for George Washington for
President. 1t is headed "The Washing
ton Ticket of Electors" Maine then be-
longed to Massachusetts, and four Of the
electors were from the former. AT that
time, and for number of years after, all
the ballots Wire written. David Henshaw
was the first man in Massachusetts who
offered a printed ballot at the polls, be
claiming that it was, in legal point of
view, written one. The ballot was re-
Jeeted, Henshaw prosecuted the selectmen,
and the matter was carried to the Supreme
Court, where it was decided that Hem
shaw's view of the matter was correct.

Hon. BENJAMIN G. HARRIS of Mary
land, is telling some uncomfortable truths
about his democratic associates, during the
late war. In recent letter on the politi-
cal situation he says:
"While in their hearts they did not
wish as their constituents know, the success
of the North in their nefarious and urjus-
tifiable war upon the South, they yet dis
covered wonderful policy in pretending to
wish it. They shrieked for the Union,
made the strongest war speeches, while
they whispered to the knowing ones of
their party that deception was the surest
means of getting power"
Mr.. Harris goes little further than to
review the past, and discloses the present
purposes of the democratic party. He
says: f" We must restore the democratic
party to power, peaceably if we can, fore
IDLY if we must"

TREMENDOUS HAIL SToRM.-On We'd
nesday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, Phila-
delphia was visited by one Of the severest
hail storms ever experienced there. 1t
lasted about half an hour. During that
time the storm was of great violence, and
as the hail ratified against the houses,
SCATTERING glass not protected from its fury
no little alarm was created. The storm
came from the north, and everywhere
windows exposed to its fury were broken.
As the hailstones ranged in size from one
ioeh to three inches in diameter, and
weighed in many instances over quarter
of pound, there was very little ordinary
window glass that could resist the shock
1t is calculated that no less than 100000
lights were broken. The State House
was completely riddled, and many of the
churches suffered greatly in the destruc-
ton of costly stained glass. Many of the
merchants in Market street lost from
$1,000 to $4,000 by damage to goods from
the rain, after the glass was broken. 1t
was with difficulty that horses could be
driven during the storm, the bailstones
falling upon their backs with such force
as to render them almost manageable
A number ran away demolishing the vehi-
cles TO which they were attached. Great
injury was done to ornamental trees, gar
dens and Conservatives.
The storm was also severely felt at
Camden, N. j., Reading and Danvile,
Pa. AT the latter place the steeple of a
Presbyterian church was blown down,
falling through the roof into the church.
Passengers who reached Philadelphia by
the evening train from Washington and
Baltimore, report that the storm was very
severe all along the route, and that at
some of the stations they heard Of great
destruction of property.

MASSACHUSETTS DEMocRAcY.-The
democracy Of Massachusetts held con-
vention in Worcester on Tuesday and
abandoned their old friends and took up
new and unfedged ones, in the persons of
John Quincy Adams "a grand son Of the
old radical the democrats formerly hated
50 cordially for Governor, and George
NJ. Stearns for Lieut. Governor. The
object Of this movement is to pick up the
floating vote on side issues, and then count
them as = reaction in favor Of the
democratic party. They of course went
in for free rum, and on this point they
hope to make gains" but their ticket,
even with the grand son of the great
John Quincy Adams at tho bead of it,
does not stand the ghost Of chance of
an election, and the friends Of a judicious
license law. viii find that the embrace Of
the democracy is death to their hopes.

masters and sought security and employ
mentin the free states. Congress did not
send us there to compel the rebels to pay
the expenses Of the war, as Bismarck
would have done. The North is paying
the costs of the rebellion after winning a
victory, and we have been helping our for
mer adversaries to feed and clothe them
selves, and to recover from the mire into
which they have involved themselves.
(The crowd here became very much ex-
cited) History may be challenged for
another instance in which vanquished en-
emies have been SO generously treated by
their conquerors.

Windsor County Fair.

The Windsor County Fair was held a
Woodstock on Tuesday, Wednesday ant
Thursday of last week, and appears t.
have been equal to any Of its predeces,
sors, according to the report in the Stand
ard. As the people of the south end o
the county do not appear to take much in,
terest in it, We do not give detailed re.
port.
The attendance was large, and of course
SO far made il success financially. The
show Of horses was excellent, and was en-
titled to much merit. The stock horse,
Cassius NJ. Clay, owned by c. b. Ballad
Of White River Junction, made his Z mile
in LIP, which puts him into the ranks Of
the fast horses of the country.
The show of cattle was remarkably good,
the Standard says, magnificent" especi-
ally of young oxen. There was over so
yoke of oxen on the ground.
Sheep did not come up to some former
exhibitions, but were good, as they never
fail in this State.
Floral Hall contained many interesting
articles as usual, mostly from Woodstock
and vicinity, Bridgewater furnishing a
good share, some of which were of much
merit.
In fruit there was fair but not large
show, in which Honestus Stearns of Read
ing, bore off the first premium for largest
variety. He also took first premium on
pears. Vegetables were quite largely
represented but we notice no premiums
south of Woodstock, except Jonas Lamp
son of West Windsor who took first award
on tomatoes.
There seems to have been good exhi-
bition of butter in which VIM. G. Beament
of Reading, carried off the first award for
best June butter.
The premiums on stock were nearly all
awarded to parties in and near Woodstock,
and the north end Of the County, and we
do not therefore give the list. An inter-
esting scene was the stock horse Wood
stock led round the track with 81 of his
colts of from two TO four years old. VIM.
c. Beament of Reading received premi-
um on 9th class Spanish Merino lambs,
and Samuel Burnham of West Windsor
took several premiums on ewes and eve
lambs. in Sth class.
On the whole we guess they had pref
ty good exhibition, though in some of the
departments it was very light and not at
all to be compared with former similar
occasions, while in some others it was bet
ter, and as we close our account of this
festival, we have strong lingering wish
to attend another Windsor cou nty fair, and
thus enjoy some of the by-gone days of
fifteen or twenty years ago over again.

The Valley Fair.

The Keene papers of last week have
list Of the premiums awarded at the late
Connecticut River Valley Fair. Cheshire
County appears to have taken large
share of premiums, while good share
were also awarded to parties from this
State. G. B. & l.. B. Holland from Wal
pole, IN. H. took first premium on brood
mares and foal of both Morgan and Mes
senger horses, while w. r. Kimball, of
Westminster, received first premium OF
SIS for best roadster. Walpole took sew
eral premiums on horses, among which
were Eben Burr, Sd, on roadster, and
Charles Z. Ware, Sd on troiting gelding
mares, and H. N. Fletcher, 3D., for draft
horse.
On Durham cows, Robert Elwell of
Langlon. NH, lst premium of $40; I'd
TO M. C. Roundy of Springfield.
On Attorney cattle, w. r. Kimball of
Westminster received LIST premium Of SIP
on the celebrated Attorney Bull of that
town. In connection with this may be
found an article on Attorney cows on
fourth page. Clark p. Whitney Of West
minister, was awarded first premium on
yearling steers. and A. p. Fairbanks first
on fat cattle.
On sheep NJ. c. Roundy of Springfield
bore off first award on Spanish NIerino
bucks, and B. f. Phillips and G. F.
Wetherell Of Westminster, took the Cd,
and also I'd and Sd on yearling bucks of
same grade. On Spanish Merino lambs,
Wiley g. Bosworth took the first premi-
UNI of IS. Mr.. Roundy also took first on
pairs Of ewes, each. Best pair of Span
ish Melino ewes Of 10 each, Wiley &
I,osworth received first premium OF Sl5,
being first. On the whole the Vermon,ers
were evidently ahead on sheep.
| j. L. Hubbard of Walpole and c. E.
Bgelow of Perkinsville, both received
premiums on Italian bees. Mr.. Hubbard's
apary is among the hest in this section
The year is not the best for fruits but
there was some good specimens. Mr.. Sol
onion Sanders of this village, received a
premium for best show of apricot plums
The report of the committee on fruits we
guess was written by our townsman, Prof
S. +. Merrill, of this place, who was chair
man of the committee, and we give it en-
tire as follows
I" The committee on fruits beg leave tc
report tina; in looking over the fruits and
awarding premiums, we do not find as
much fruit AS we hope TO find. The small
amount of money appropriated for premi-
ums prevents many from entering fruits
for premiums, consequently our fruit show
! is small. We consider the specimens OF
exhibition, at least some of them, very
good, for this is not good fruit year. Tns

SOUTHERN ELEcT1oNs.-Lo Louisiana
voted last week as to whether they would
call a State Convention and organize UNI
der the reconstruction laws. The vote is
overwhelmingly in favor Of Convention.
but the law requires that a majority Of all
registered voters win be required to call
Convention, and the rebel element feeling
nsre they would BE- out-voted all stayed at

IA defslt rsconstruction. or the calling Of
: Convension. The loyaI element voted
yes almost unanimously, black and white.
The returns do not yet indicate the result,
though the officer IN command telegraphs
Gen. Grant that he thinks the Convention
has been carried.
In Alabama, where the election was
held this week, the rebels have played the
same game - in Louisiana, and if the re-
suit keeps the rebel states out Of the I'm

new green leaves and blossoms are upon
the burned limbs, which have come forth
since the fire.

THE ABUNDANT HARvEsTs OF 1867.
The crop report of the department of
agriculture for August and September has
just been Issued. The August reports give
the general average for the several states,
from the approximate estimates of cores
pondents of the crops then harvested as
compared with those of 1866. together
with the current condition Of the growing
crops, while fhe September tables pertain
chiefly TO the state of the fall crops. The
August returns show a uniform reduction
in the general average Of wheat as COM
pared with the July figures, and in the
September estimates the wheat harvested
a. compared with the crop of 1866, drops
the figures somewhat lower in number
Of the states. This is attributable to bad
weather Wilde harvesting, and in some
sections the grain is found to be shriveled
and threshed out less to the acre than an
ticipated. The leading wheat growing
states report the following percentage of
increase At the clore Of the harvest: Ohio
$50, Indiana so, Michigan 33. Wisconsin
IL, Minnesota IS, Illinois IL, Iowa 20,
Missouri 40, Kentucky 81, West Virginia
so, Virginia so. Tennessee 40, Georgia
80, Arkansas As, New York IA, Pennsyl-
yania 40. Only Kansas and Texas show
falling of from last year. The amount
of these crops for the current year will be
more accurately shown by the reports due
October l.
The prospects Of the corn crop continue
70 improve, and If the frost holds of, the
general crop may be fair one. While a
number of states return low estimate,
others, particularly the southern states,
show = marked improvement over last

MARYLAND Maryland having gone
into the hands of returned rebels, they are
also organizing some 10000 militia So
called, under their present State (rebeD
government. This last act is attracting
considerable attention. These "miltia" are
under officers who were in the rebel army,
and the other day Gov. Swami called on
the war department for artillery pieces,
which Gen. Grant refused, and now they
have bought three brass field pieces which
have been assigned to Baltimore. Now,
what is this rebel armament for? Is il to
get up another rebellion andcapture WASH
ington at the start? or is it TO dispense

OyER-ExEHTIoy, either Of body or
mind produces debility and disease. The
usual remedy is to take some stimulan,
the effect OF which is the same as giving a
tired horse the whip instead Of oats. The
true way is TO for'ify the system with a
permanent tonic like the Peruvian Syrup,
"a protoxide OF iron), which gives strength
and viSor to the whole system.
