BARBOUR CoUNTY.-Our readers are
already informed of the efforts being
made by the Registrars of Barbour
county to deprive the Conservatives Of
vote. A private letter informs US that
every Democrat or Conservative that
holds Office in the county has been noti-
fed. If all that have received notice
are stricken from the books there will
not be enough voters in Glade township
to hold the offices. Elk aud Union
townships are in about the same situa-
tion. Gentlemen who were Union men
during the whole war, fare no better
than rebels, if they do not vote the Rad
ical ticket. Mr.. House, one of the Board
of Registration, is a candidate for the
Legislature, which may influence his
action.
AGRICULTURAL FAIR.-The "West
Virginia Central Agricultural and Me-
chanical Society,"" at Clarksburg, in
tend to hold fair, or rather stock ex-
hibition, at its grounds at Clarksburg,
on Monday and Tuesday, the 2lst and
22d of the present month. From the
short period that will elapse until the
time appointed for holding the Fair,
the mechanical branches Of industry
will not be represented for want of ad-
equate arrangements for their accommo-
dation, a fact that will not occur in fu-
ture. The Board of Directors have
with commendable zeal pushed forward
the work of enclosing the grounds and
grading o track, so that all facilities
will be afforded for good exhibition of
stock. 4 list Of premiums has been
made out as liberal as the present tinan-
cial condition of the society will war
rant, and entries are open to the world
in all the classes designated.
The Conservative is inclined to be sar-
castle over the importation of troops to
keep order in Barbour county. 1t thinks
they are needed just as badly in Har-
rison. 1t says: We congratulate the
"boys in blue" upon being sent TO our
salubrious mountains, and hope they
will have a good time. 1t is little lu-
dicrous to see our Radical officials get
ting scared by their guilty consciences
and sending foI soldiers to protect them
from the horrid visions of their mid
night dreams of impending justice.
Send us more soldiers. We want a
regiment-we want t,co of them right
in Clarksburg-dnd then some

Improvement is erecting fine buildings
and palaces over their unenterprislng,
do-nothing carcasses.
