Torrington Agricultural Society.

This Society held their fair on Wednes- day and Thursday of last week. The exhi- bition of cattle on the first day was, we hear, very fine. As many as 200 yokes of oxen are reported to have been on the ground. On Thursday, the exhibition of horses took place, which was also good.
 The exhibition of fruits, flowers, manu- factures &c. in the tent was excellent. The annles garden fruits, vegetables &c. were magnificent both in quantity and quality. We cannot undertake to do justice to the different exhibitors of manufactured and fancy articles but this department was ve- ry creditable indeed and the ample space allowed entirely filled. The only drawback was the exceedingly dusty state of the track, but we should judge that the Fair had on the whole met the most sanguine expecta- tions of it's projectors. The officers for the ensuing year are Messrs. Chapman, presi- dent; Merrill, vice president; F. l.. Hun gerford, recording secretary; c. F. Brook CT, corresponding secretary; H. s. Barbour treasurer.

was not, it was believed to be so, which in effect was as disastrous. The friends of the State Board, (not, so far as l know, any member of the Board itself, have talked too much about how little work was done, or how poor, before it's present control was assumed, and in this way have widened the feeling of uneasiness distrust, or opposi- tion to the Institution.
 But this state of things will not continue with the men whom have mentioned in the field, if their labors are supplemented by the Press and the earnest friends of Education generally, in the state.
 How sad, that North Carolina can to-day be contrasted with Connecticut in this matter to the Encouragement of our own State! North Carolina has just established a Normal school; Connecticut has tried to hM hers.
 Ny dear Editor, you cannot w1eld your pen in better cause than this, until at least our county shall be wholly in favor of the re-establisIlment Of this necessary Institution l..

The Philadelphia National Refreshment Saloons where the soldiers from every part of the Union were fed during the late war were an honor to Philadelphia and there is a peculiar propriety in the circumstances that Philadelphia should inaugurate plan for the endowment of National Institute where the orphans of these same heroes may have home and receive an education This is what the Trustees of the Riverside Institute are aiming most successfully to accomplish. Acting under the charter of the Washington Library Company, incor- porated by the State of Pennsylvania, they are offering stock at the low rate of one dollar per share, and will give to each sub- scriber beautiful and valuable steel en- graving worth at retail more than the price of the stock, and as an ad litional induce ment will distribute among the stockhol- ders presents valued at 30O,0OO.

sa We have seen no full report of tbe

s9 We have seen no full report of the evidence before the Congressional con- mittee investigating into the election of MT. w. H. Barnum last Spring. From the reports we have seen, and from private sources we learn that much bribing was proved to have been committed in Salisbu- ry and Canaan. We do not imagine it was confined to one side; nevertheless, if it can be proved that the sitting member was connected with it, he deserves to be busted and new election ordered. The open manner in which voters are bought and sold in the northwestern towns of this county is disgrace to the people of those commit mites. Practically, it does not seem one whit more discreditable in those towns to buy voter and pay for him, than to buy Q drink of liquor and pay for that.
