OUR COUNTY FAIR.

The following extract from the American
Ayracnltarist is peculiarly adapted to our
county fair, which comes off next week. The
society has expended a pile of money in pur-
chasing and fitting up the grounds, and Of
fered large premiums for the best articles
on exhibition. AT an expense of over ten
thousand dollars, the stockholders have pre-
pared everything necessary for the comfort
of the people, and they ask nothing but gate
money for their remuneration. What is 25
or SO cents day, for FIVE days, to those who
attend? Merely nothing, compared with
the pleasure and benefit they will receive
It is of great importance to the whole coun,
tY that the first fair should be a good one,
and thus encourage the stockholders to re.
newed efforts tor another year. To accom-.
pish this everybody must attend, and every.
body must contribute something for exhibi
ton and thus make it grand success in ev
cry particular.
The following is the extract to which we
alluded
save time TO attend the 1alr ana De sure tO
take or to send something to help the show
Have it in the best possible order, and don't ex-
pect confidently to get the prize as to be made
uncomfortable if you lose it. 1t is no shame to
be beaten, but it would be shameful for poor
article to take prize over a better one. There
fore rejoice that something more excellent than
yours could be raised and that the raiser brought
il. A good part of your reward should be in hav-
ing contributed to make fine show. A man
seldom gains credit to himself by declaring open
ly that things he has at home much better
than those exhibited. Such statements, if made
| should be said privately and generally in self
condemnation for not having brought the arti-
| cles. The unsuccessful competitor seldom gains
more than unenviable notoriety by openly i'm
| pugning the motives of judges
| Everyone is happy to receive prizes, and tn
hope that he may is a great inducement to pre-
| sent articles in competition. The honor an'
| credit should count for much, the money for yer,
little and really the unselfsh motive of contrib
| uring to make fine show, should be the chic
| inducement to exert ones self for the fair. Al
exhibitor going to the fair with those feelings vii
not leave his wagon loads of fruit, vegetables an
dairy products outside while he searches througl
the exhibition tables to find out if he will be NOR
ally certain of the prizes before he decides to ex
| hibit There is nothing criminal in this. but i
| is certainly not honorable and commendable.

from the Cincinnati Commercial
Conovsr and Ashley-The Perjurer and the
Impeaoher-An Exclamation Needed.

Sanford Conover is great rascal. He
is particularly deficient in the virtue of vera
acity That he will lie and swear TO it with
the greatest felicity, and under the most
positive certainty of being found out is as
notorious as his name. But what was a
gentleman of the mental and moral culture
of the Hon. J. NJ. Ashley, OF Ohio. doing,
seeking an intimacy with this scoundrel
Ashley was engaged in raking all the gut
tiers to find testimony upon which to impeach
the President, as if gh crime and INSIDE
meanors" were to be gathered by the scaven-
gers of social scandals. 1t seems that he es-
tablished what the spiritualists call affintal
relations with the scoundrel Conover, and it
is not unlikely that he believed himself capa
bic Of using the rascal. A man of the "men-
tai and moral culture of the Hon. j. M
Ashley should not be tricky, but the Hon.
gentleman profoundly thinks he is one of the
smartest men in the world, and he under
stood that he had mission to impeach the
President. Then the Cincinnati Gazettt
has had two letters from Washington, evi
IDENTITY inspired by the compelling genius o.
Ashley, telling about the mysterious rela-
tons of johnson and Booth. They worked
up rumors, such as are contained in the re.
ported Ashley plot as laid down to Conover
Upon the whole, Mr.. Ashley will have q
chance to vindicate himself.

More Of War Morals as Characteristic of Pc
Gtical Preachers

ROCHESTER,, Aug I2.--Rev. II. Windt, who for
two years has been superintendent of the orphan
asylum at Philadelphia, was arrested here yester
day for perpetrating a rape on seven little girls
under his charge. Windt is regularly ordain-
ed protestant Clergyman. and confesses that he
has done wrong. He was taken to Philadelphia
last evening.
This Rererend Windt, loyal windy Cos
peler during the warts one of the thorough
bred bloodhound variety, who could scent a
copperhead out of his congregation with the
pious zeal and patriotic devotion of Rev.
Thompson and the balance of that brigade
of divine gospellers who prepared the paths
and lighted the walks of the young men in
the federal army. Hasn't he rendered SER
vice enough to pious patriotism and loyal
morals to entitle him to a chaplaincy on
General Pope's staff?

From the Mercer County Press.
Rock Island and its surroundings.

During the pastweek we had occasion to
visit Rock Island, and were indeed delight
ed with many sights. A deep broad shute
is being cut along the Rock river at Cam
den, through which portion OF Rock river
will be directed with force by contempla-
ted dam, thus creating water power for ex.
tensive manufacturing. Fine brick blocks
are being constructed at Camden upon the
ruins created by the fire a few months since.
At Moline from six to eight large three sto.
nv stone buildings, hundreds of feet in length
and breadth are being constructed for large
factories of various kinds. Already the
great water power there is used in running
paper and Touring mills, wooden ware and
pillow factories, saw mills &C., Hundreds of
men are engaged on the Island, under Gen.
Rodman, constructing large stone buildings
tor manufacturing and storing arms and
material of war. The whole Island is being
laid off in beautiful Mcadamized Avenues
and drives. Already a large stone structure,
three stories high, with a tower five stories
high is nearly completed. A clock with a
dial twelve feet in diameter will be placed
in this tower, and a bell weighing $500 TBS
has been placed in this tower for the clock.
The hills along each side OF the Misssissip.
pi are being rapidly adorned with beautiful
homes, IN and around Moline, Rock Island
and Davenport and we predict that the oc'
cupants of these delightful residences will, in
ten years, be enabled to look out upon the
largest and grandest structures erected upon
this continent for manufacturing purposes,
operated by a population of not less than one
hundred thousand. The American who can
stand upon the hills overlooking the busy
scenes represented, by the localities we have
been describing-the mighty river, magnifi
cent steamboats,, splendid bridges, immense
factories and mills, proud cities, beautiful
homes, lofty spires, strong towers, and act.

Complimsntary 70 the German Element.
A leading radical journal in Minnesota

A leading radical journal in Minnesota
thus alludes to the Germans of St. Louis:
"The German beer-guzzlers of st Louis, redol-
emit of Limberger cheese and FESTIVE for noisy
parade and the brazsn clang of cymbals and bAss
drums in their deserted beer-gsrdens, utter the
same howl OF Puritan intolerance -
SO long as the Germans of the northwest
voted the radical ticket, and swelled the
ranks of the armies, they were "patriots" and
excellent good fellows but so soon as they
dare to protest against the intolerant fanat-
icism of a set of puritanical reformers, they
are denounced as "beer guzzlers" and "stu-
pid DUTCH" They are not SO stupid as to
continue to support the radical disunion par
~. Every day brings intelligence of a COM
plete revolution in political sentiment among
the vast German population OF the great
northwest Even Carl Schurz advises his
eountrymen in that section to vote for DEM
ocratic candidates for all state and county
offices.

HOW TO GET TO THE FAIR GROUNDS.

Arrangements have been made by j. NJ.
Buford, Esq, secretary of the agricultural
society, with the Coal Valley railroad, to
run trains between the ferry landing, on the
levee, and the fair grounds, every half hour,
during the FIVE days Of the fair, next week
The cars run within very short walk of the
grounds, and good bridge will be erected
over the little slough between the track and
the grounds, and a gate put in, on the side
of the grounds next to the railroad track.
This is an excellent arrangement and will
accommodate the Iowa people. as we'll as
all on this side.
Fare only 10 cents each way

FROM THE PLAINS.

This morning (Thursday) we met, at the
Rodman House, Lieut.. A. E. Bates, I'd
United States Cavalry Irregular army, who
arrived here from Fort Laramie, last night,
with squad of soldiers and two prisoners
isoldiers) sentenced to Fort Madison, Iowa,
penitentiary, for burning the ranch of A. E.
Coffey also an insane soldier he is taking
to Washington for treatment in the hospital
there.
Lieut.. Bates LETT Laramie Tuesday even
ening of last week, travelling to the railroad
in the night to avoid the Indians who infest
every road in that country, in small parties,
numbering travellers and running off stock at
every opportunity. An attempt was made
by them on his stock, but it failed of sue
cess.
On reaching the railroad he came by the
Union Pacific (of course) to Omaha the
Northwestern to Fulton, and by the Western
Union, to this city. Here he took stsame,
to Fort Madison. ss--
We learn from him that the construction
trains, on the Union Pacific, now run &C
miles beyond Julesburg.
Lieut. Bates thinks the prospect of 9
speedy settlement of our indian troubles is
not favorable. He says, if the report of q
large Indian loss at the recent reported fight
at Phil Kearney proves to be true (which he
does not believe) the northern Indians may
be disheartened and come in and meet Gen
Sherman's commission at Laramie the mid
die of Sept. Runners have been sent out
in all directions to induce their leading mel
TO come in and have "a talk" and prepare
tons have heen made to accommodate from
two to three thousand, on that occasion
But if the reported loss proves not true he
does not believe there will be such repre-
sentation of the leading Indians present as
will make the meeting of any service in re
storing peace and good feeling between the
Indians and the whites. q.
The Indians demand that our troops shall
be withdrawn and they left in the peaceable
possession of the Powder River country
which they claim is rightfully their domain
for occupancy. IF this is done, they are
ready for peace-if not, then they are fol-
war.
Lieut.. Bates is graduate of West Point
and an energetic and highly intelligen,
young officer. $3.50 a

The scoundrels who were employed to do
attempt to Offset the Conover charges against
Ashley, Butler and Holt, are in a fair way
to follow Conover to the penitentiary for
perjury. When they are convicted they
may be willing, like Conover, to tell who EN-
ployed them to make false affidavits.

Among them that came up to speculate in stock
and supplies
Was a fellow named Stuart, man of enterprise
He bought him switch tail sorrel two years old,
which had n white face,
And he bantered oil Portland, o. T., for three
hundred yard race.
Thar was q man he'd q horse, which he thought
her pretty fair;
She was gineraly know'd as Millard's thousand
dollar mare;
He hadn't no idea, he said, of doing anything so
rash,
But he took up Mister Stuart for two hundred
dollars, cash.
So every soul in Portland, o. T., went straight
down to the course,
And every cent we bOrroed, we bet on Millard's
horse;
And thar was that specializing Stuart, with his
hand upon his hip,
And two men a-following with tin pail full OF
dollars, and champagne basket full Of
scraps!
Well, they measured off the ground, and til,
horses got a start,
And came running down right pretty, about -four
foot apart;
And the Willard mare had it oil her own way, SC
every body said,
Till Just as they got to the eend of the track, thai

After we seen that thar riz a most surprising din
And remarks like this ere followed, "Dog my

"I'I be dod-derned, and dog-goned, and ding

And thar was such awful bowling, and swear

And that are specializing Stuart, he made mat

He packed the money in a hand-cart, and didn'

And sweetly smiling, pulled it off, as though h
