The CAMPAIGN IN MASSACHUSETTS. -The
Springfield Republican of Saturday pays a
deserved compliment to one OF our Maine
speakers who isengaged in the Massachusetts,
campaign.
The Republicans OF this region are beginning
to manifest little more activity in The can
vass, which has thus far been s3dly deficient
in interest. from the absence of anything like
substantial opposition. On Thursday evening
the Republicans of Hoyoke held a large and
very enthusiastic meeting, which was address
ed by Maj. Emerson of Pittsfeld Next week
they expect to hear from W. z. Frye. the at
torney general of Maine, and from E. B. Gill
lett of Westfeid Mr.. Frye addressed gath

dress the citizens Of Springfield at the City

attend will have the pleasure of listening TO a
rather more interesting speech than that of
last SatnrdavleveniDg at the same place. He
won distinction by his activity and eloquence
in the Maine canvass, and viii be we coined
here to part in ours The sluggish souls of
old Massachusetts are really warming up.

NOT 50 BAD AS REPRESENTED -Notwith-
STANDING the exaggerated statements of some
OF our state exchanges, it is fact that good
order and quiet prevailed to a remarkable de.
gree in this city during the State Fair last
week. When we take into consideration the
vast mum GER of people, including our own cit
liens, who made the occasion holiday, and
the exhlaration of feeling which the natural
excitement of the Fair would produce, indie
peudently of artificial stimulants, every can
cld observer must admit that the occurrence
OF o'sorderiy scenes and drunken broils was
extremely rare. The records of the Police
ooufs anu inc personal experience of our visi-
tors give no contradictory testimony on tbis
point. Gentlemen from New Yorl, VII '-'I9
present, and who had previously visited NJ
in several States, declared that in no rroria,l5
instance had they seen so little disturbance of
the peace and so little drunkenness

RECEIPTS AT THE FAIR.-Nothing officially
is yet known as to the amount received at the
exhibition of the State Agricultural Society.
but from all we can learn, we think they will
amount to between twelve and thirteen thou
sand dollars. Two dollars and half will cover
all the counterfeit bills and scrip received
This is wonderful. considering that some six or
seven hundred dollars in scrip was taken at the
ticket office.
The arrangements for the sale of tickets were
excellent and the credit therefor is due TO
William E. Morris, Esq, the Treasurer. who
has been indefatigable in his exertiops to ac-
commodate the public. No one was ob,oed to
wait for ticket The assistants at the ticket
Office were polite, gentlemanly and mick at
their business, and,everything was conducted in
the best of order.

CLOSING UP OF THE FAIR RAoEs-The I'M
finished race for the sweepstakes purse of $500
to the first, 800 to the second and $75 to the
third, mile heats, best three in five to harness,
was concluded Saturday forenoon. The gates
OF the park were thrown open to the public
and there was large attendance, though not
near so large as on Friday The three horses,
Right Bower, Fleeting Moment and Eastern
Queen, appeared upon he track. 1t will be
understood that four heats were run on Friday,
Gilbrerh Knox winning the first the second
being dead heat; the third (Knox being
withdrawn being won by Right Bower, and
the fourth by Fleeting Moment.
Fifth heat.-The horses got a good start
Fleeing Moment taking the lead, but being
hard pushed by Right Bower. Eastern Queen
was inthe rear, but exchanged places with
Feetins Moment. Right Bower maintained
the lead, winning the heat in 2.45 ga.
Sixth heat Eastern Queen was ruled out
not having won a heat in five, leaving the con
test to Right Bower and Fleeing Moment
The race was close and exciting one, the
horses being frequently neck and neck until
coming down the home stretch on the second
half Right Bower shot ahead, winning the heat
and the race in IA IA
Thus ended the races of the State Agricultu-
raj Socety's Fair.

Robbery AT ScARBoRo-At about haif-past
IL o'clock Friday nIgnU Mr.. rtirur d ,.,,.rs
Scarboro, was walked by hearing some one
call. Arthur Arthur! the barns o. ffrep On
gong out, he found that small stack of hay
that had been taken out OF the barn, which ia
undergoing repairs, had been set on fire. With
the assistance Of his neighbors the fire was
soon extinguished, but on inquiry it was i'm
possible TO learn who had given the alarm.
Further investigation showed that small ma
hogany desk in which Mr.. Dyer kept money
and papers had been stolen during the excite
ment, and he promptly reported the facts to
the police office in this city, where he arrived
about o'clock.
Deputy Marshal Irish took the matter in
hand, and after few inquiries started with
officer Garland for Cape Elizabeth in pursuit
of a Young man named Slower Dyer, who had
worked for Arthur Dyer, and last Sunday
evening had seen him take money from the
desk. The Office arrested Slower Dyer at
halfpast one in his bed, where he had hardly
got warm.
Deputy Marshals Irish and Wentworth sub.
sequently searched the premises, and found
the missing papers. The desk was found in
the woods near Arthur Dyers house. The dis
tanee from the scene Of the robbery to the place
where the thief was arrested is more than six
miles, and the criminal could hardly have got
home before the officers were upon him. He
was locked up for examination.

ABBOTT'S NAPOLEON Hit has for some
time been understood that the Rev. j. S. G.
Abbott had in view plan of following up his
history Of the first Napoleon with similar ac-
count OF the life of the present French Empe-
ror The themeis one which would naturally
present great attractions to a writer like Mr.
Abbott. The career of Louis Napoleon is more
romantic than any romance. His strange adj
ventures, his varying fortunes ranging from the
lowest TO the highest, from the depths of pow
erty, exile and neglect to the throne OF France
and the control of the destinies of Europe,
could not but be fascinating subject for Que
of Mr.. Abbott's ardent Imagination and large
capacity for hero-worsiiip. With such materi-
ais ready to his hands he could hardly fail to
make an interesting book, and that he certain
ly has done. His work published by B. b.
Russell, Boston, is now before us. The story
Of the princes eventtul early years, of his dar-
ing visit to Paris inoognito, of his wild attempt
at Strasburg, his Imprisonment at Ham and
his romantic escape from that fortress, of the
coup d6t0t, the restoration of the empire, and
other incidents of this remarkable career, are
narrated with en- thusiasnl. and in the easy and
flowing style for which Mr.. Abbott is SO popu-
lar. That the authors statements of fact are
in the the main accurate there is no reason to
doubt. He has been laborious in his collection
of materials, and during personal visit to
Paris every facility was afforded him by the
Emperor himself for the examination of all
documents and records necessary for the con-
struction of his work, But mis- estimate of the
character and of the various acts of Louis Ma
poleon's career must be taken with greater
caution. He is an ardent admirer, an enthu-
siastic partisan indeed, of the Emperor, and he
writes in that spirit. consistently representing
his motives and actions in the most favorable
light. He can see no flaw in his hero-noh-
ing in hls entire course to blame. He accepts
the Napoleonic idea of an imperious Napoleon
ic destiny to which it is right that all opposing
forces should be made to succumb 1t is some
what a matter of surprise that he should ex-
pect 10 impress this view upon American read
ers, by the great mass of whom "the man of
December" is thoroughly distrusted and cor
daily disliked. .,.
That his book will be popular there is, how
ever, no question. Its subject and its style are
alike adapted to recommend lit 10 the popular
taste. The publishers have brought out the
work in really beautiful style. The paper, let
terpress, binding &c. are all admirable and
the engraved Illustrations, carefully executed
in iris, by the first artists, add much to the
beauty and value of the book. They include
portraits of the Emperor, Empress, Prince I'm
perial, Queen Hortense and others, with views
OF Ham, Alenemberg and other places of in
terest.
The book is sold only by subscription, and
Mr.. John Russell, Office 10 IL Free street, is
agent for this city.
