ANNUAL FAIR.-The Seventh Annual
Fair of the Pierce County Agricultural
Society will be held at Prescott, on Fri
day and Saturday. Oct. 1lth and 18th.
The officers are using every effort to make
the coming Fair the best ever held in
Pierce County, and we notice that people
are becoming more and more interested,
and feel determined to make it success.
Pierce County is second to none in the
State in the quality of her products, and
all that is necessary is for every one to
bring what he has to ensure success.
Our farmers have heretofore manifested
unusual interest in agricultural matters
until last SESSION, when they seemed to
have partially lost the interest which they
shsuld feel in this direction, but the boun-
tiful crops this season will have tenden-
CIV to cheer and awaken them TO a sense
of their interest, and our Fair Grounds
will be covered with such products as
none but old Pierce can place on exhibit
ton.
We took the Prize Banner at the State
Fair, and also the first prize at the Paris
Exposition. and why not do it again
The large posters for the Fair will be
printed next week, and sent to every town
in the county. Those interested are re-
quested to see that they are properly pos
ted.

MoMENTUM.-When two locomotives,
having equal speed on a rail track, meet
from opposite directions the shock actual
" destroys the momentum of both, and
therefore makes a dead halt. The force
of the shock produced by the two bodies,
say the philosophers, will be equal to the
force with which either, being at rest,
would sustain if struck by the other NOV
ing with double the velocity. Action and
reaction being equal, both bodies will be
as much moved by reaction as by action.
Should two railroad trains, running to
ward each other at the rate of twenty
miles an hour, collide, the shock would
be precisely the same as thong one had
been at rest and had been struck by a
train moving forty miles an hour. Were
two steamboats, running together, head
on-one going twelve and the other tif-
teen mifes an hour, the concussson or
shock each would suffer, would be the
same as though struck by the other at a
speed of twenty seven miles an -Four.
Without stopping to philOsophize upon
! the cause, boxers and Lugilists know by
dear-bought experience that the worst
blows they ever receive in their cOmbats
are whena fist strikes fist; the force
Suffered by both parties is equal to the
sum Of the forces exerted by either arm
The adroit fighters, therefore. avoid en-
counters OF that kind if possible.
