THE FAIR-This is Thursday, the first day
of our township fair, and though the weather
is not absolutely stormy, tllc atmosphere gives
signs Of snow and hail, and the temperature is
chill and raw, giving pretty good testimony of
another turn ofthe pinching screws ofapproach-
ing winter. The long and almost unbroken
continuance of damp and disagreeablc weather
has been, as it would seem, almost enough TO
discourage those having charge ofthe work
upon the new Misunderstanding, fencing,
building, ditching and laying out roads, but
through perseverance, all this work has been
brought to successful finish. The track We
are assured is as smooth, ana nard, and dry.
as the demand requires, and the fencing was
to have received the last nail about noon. The
windows ofthe main hall were not in for some
time after the work of making the. enteries
had begun, but were ready and were toibe
put in place during the morning hour. Though
the absolute want of stoves drove 1.-The Secre-
tary into other quarters, that want was sup
piled so that he was sent for to take his pro-
per place after dinner. Thus, then, we are in
debted to the grit of the Directors for this con-
sumation. As to the prospects of filling up
and putting these facilities and accom-
modations to practical use with a fair show,
and lively competition, the secretary informs
US that they have never been better
The entries during the. afternoon, made in
person, and the unusual number that had been
previously applied for by letter, was an earnest
OF success cess.--encouragin and satisfactory. So
that our friends that have worked, and those
whose interest have led them to contribute to
meet the numerous expenses attending the en-
terprize, as well as those who wish it well. but
have done nothing to helpit along, win have
no ground for encouragement but on the
other hand, if the weather for the last two days
is no worse than to day-much to congratulate
upon. As We go to press in the
morning, any further account of the progress
of things viii necessarily be deferred for this
week. Next week however, we shall pro-
badly be able to say more and to give list of
the awards.

LIFTING THE SKIRTs.-Because ladies exer-
else the inalienable right of keeping their
dresses clean by raising them up from the
dust of the street, the editor of the Iele-

which he made public ashort time since. The
Imagination of this editor evidently needs rem
ovating. should like to get into it with a
scrubbing brush, or fumigate it with sulphur,
or saturatc it with carbolics acid, or put it

by polluting suspicious. JEAnatA.
All, me, that was an unfortunate string 10
touch, and now after, the ire of the dear
creatures has been, stirred, and it is too late
to escape the consequences, the poor wight Of
an editor discovers his folly for in all contests

EARTHQUAKE in / California.

A heavy shock Of an earthquake was expe-l
rienced in San Francisco at about s O'Clock, on
the morning of the 21st inst. The motion was
east and west Several buildings were thrown
down and considerable number badly dam
aged. The ground sank, throwing buildings
ont of line. The shock was felt with great
severity at San Jose, where q number of build
ings were considerably injured.
The principal damage is confined to the
lower portion of the city, and among old
buildings on made ground. Numerous houses
have been abandoned and pulled down. The
Custom House, a brick building on piles and
made ground, was. badly shattered by an
earthquake in 1865, is considered unsafe, and
the officials have removed to the Revenue
building. Business in the lower part of the
city is suspended and the streets are thronged
with people. Great excitement prevails. The
parapet walls and chimneys of number of
buildings have been thrown down, resulting in
loss of life. The damage will not exceed
81 100000 The ground opened in several
PLACES, aed a strong sulphurous smell was
noticed Immediately after the shock The
courthouse at San Leandro was demolished
and one life lost From various portions of
the country in the vicinity of San Francisco
Raw. the shock is reported to have been severe
considerable damage being sustained. In ma
nv places the earth opened and water gushed
forth. . @
Twelve shocks were felt during the day, the
general direction being northerly and souther-
Iy. though some descriptions give a rotary mo-
ton. The greatest damage extends in belt
several hundred feet wide, running about
northwest and southeast. The City Hall may
be considered an entire wreck. The courts e.;
adjourned. The prisoners were taken from
the station houses to the county Jail. All pa
tients of the United States Marine Hospital,
were removed and the building declared un-
safe. ONLY ten lives are known as lost al
though numbers are seriously injured by the
falling Debris The waters Of the bay were
perfectly smooth at the time of the shock, and
no perceptible disturbance took place. The
shock was felt aboard the shipping in the har-
bor as if the vessels had struck rock. The
earthouake was severe in the interior Heavy
shocks were felt at Sacramento and Stockton

The notice given in the paper and by bills,
for a jollification on Monday night last, over
the setting of the seal upon Copperheadism, at
the late State elections, proved to be little
too hasty for any ything like a thorough prepa-
ration for su III an occasion, upon the scale that
was contemplated, and such as the occasion
seemed to call for The weather withall prov
ing unfavo ,ablc, it was, though at some
what late hour, deemed prudent to recall the
notice and invitations that had gone out, and
prick again, but unfortunately, telegraph wires
and telegraphing partake of some of the same
uncertainties and disappointments that are
c c)mmon to other merely human and mum
dane affairs, and the Conneaut Boys in Blue
failed to get the notice to hold on for the pres
ent Early in the evening, therefore, our pee
pie were thrown into some perturbation over
the news of the approach of the company, duly
armed with music and torches. The dis
appointment that it was supposed would be
felt by them made the moment anything but
pleasant one. But'necessity is the. mother of
invention, and men are made great by having
to cope with great emergencies, and the latent
QudllucS -Ol hSuGdUuld pepuDilcdnS, were
brought out into pretty free exercise. After
having been escorted through our principal
streets, the company were gathered into
Smiths Hall, and there they were supplied
with an impromtu supper that came and went
in a very incOmprehensible manner, until the
word went forth, it is enough! They were
then supplied with box of Talcots best ci-
girs. Order and quiet being at length restor-
ed, an organization was effected by the choice
of Collector FAssETT as chairman, when call
was made for Captain CHAPMAN, who came
forth and gave cheering and animated off
hand speech comforting our citizens by the
assurance that they were abundantly gratified
and pleased with their reception and treat
ment, and would come at any other time when
we might be more deliberately prepared to see
them. He was followed by THEODORE HALL,
Esq, in brief and pertinent address, when. the
call went up fol- Sherman" whose hold upon
the public mart, always makes him favorite
upon the platform. The affair wound up with
reciprocal cheers for Conneaut and Ashtahula,
with the very best feeling, so that that which
looked a little formidable at first, had most
pleasant and happy termination.

MURDERoUs AssAULT.-A young man, a
a member of the Boys in Blue of Willoughby,
was found on State street, in Painesyille, on
the night of the gathering of the Boys in Blue,
insensible, with fearful wound, apparently
with knife, in his neck. Our Geneva boys
picked him up while on their way to the de-
pot, to return home, and was taken in charge
by his comrades from Wiiloughby. We learn
by gentleman from Painesville that the young
man died of his wound on Tuesday night, at
his home in Willoughby. Just how the wound
was inflicted, and by whom, we have no posi-
tive knowledge. 1t is said that the young man
left his company at the depot in Painesville, to
send a telegraph dispatch, and was making his
way, alone mp town, when he was set upon by
a gang OF Democratic lrishmen (Seymour's
friends) and maltreated and stabbed, as before
mentioned Times.
