THE FIRuERS FESTTTILs.
CALEDONIA FAIR.

The switt-rciirg year has brought u
10 another OF those annual festivals in
which the people oil his county have al
ways taken so much interest and pride.
The lwenty-third fair of the Caledonia
$ cety was held on tie Far Grounds in
Ills place, ON Tuesday. Wednesday and
Thursday Of this week. After week
- two Of cquinoctial storms, a bright
and bcautiiui Srptcml cr morning Was 4
l@xory l. OF 10 be dy>pi>ed and the large
crowd OF people WHO early wcnded their
Wy towards the grounds esinced that
tie interest in our county fairs had in no
way abated
Although it was a holiday to the
masses, ii was 10 holiday pastime to tie
5 secretaries, the ticket-~elers, the gate
keepers, the superintendent of the differ
eat departments and the managers grncr-
ally. But patience and good nature over
came all obstacles, and everything was
firmly entered, tlcketed and placed in It's
proper place.
Aud at this point we wish to say,
that 10 one need feel Sighted if his
name. OF tie article presented, does not
receive mention in these columns. The
managers thought it best that articles
entered for premium should bear simply
Il number, then the judgcs could Use no
i;fVurtism il their awards as there would
be nothing Ola the article 10 show to
whom it belonged. This Is an excellent
plan, but unsati>iying TO newspaper re-
porler>, and ali those who wish TO know
the owners names. However every one
must he satisfied with this assurance,
that although possibly he received no
especial notice or premium Gall could not
have premium-) his effort was larger
or smaller contribution which helped 10
make the fair the fine success it was.
CATTLE.
We believe Caledonia county is some
what celebrated for it, fine cattle as well
as horses, and it Is with no little pleasure
that we notice the gradual improvement
IN quality every year. There have been
more oxen at former fairs than on Tues
day. but there were never a lot of such
superior working and beef cattle as those
exhibited at ibis fair. The town teams
made q handsome display, and the cattle
in pens were a feast for the eyes of all
lovers of neat stock.
In taking a look about the pens we
found many cattle, but few owners. j.
6. Hovey entered a handsome pair of ,
years old steers, weighing POO lbs, s
grade yearlings, / full blood , years old
Durham heiters, and 3 years old Dur
ham hcittr and bull-ey calf.
Capt. +. l. Iovey exhibited his
thorough bred Durham bull, weight
2O3O.
Charles Starks had Il pen of those
beautiful Devon calves, and a splendid

very likely animal.

EE- Gerrit Smith wrote letter to the
meeting held at Cooper Institute last
Monday evening, in aid of Washington
College, Virginia, of which Gen. Lee is
President, and to promote the general
cause of education Of the South The
letter Of Mr. Smith contains a contribu-
ton of 5000 for the college, and closes
as follows:
England cursed us both North and
South) with slavery, Then we both
cursed ourselves with 1.-THE North as
well as the South upholdng it. And
then came of it the war The South no
less brave than the North--yet being by
far the weaker party, fell under, And
now it only. remains for us to forgive
each other, to love each other and to do
all the good we can to each other. SO
shall we become a united people, and
profting by our great mistakes in the
past, we shah enter upon new and hap
py national life. a..
"The South does not like to have the
North mistrust her. No wonder that she
has not so soon lost her old pride, and so
thrown off her old habits. But if the
North will only gain the heart Of the
Sonth, Reconstruction will be an easy
thing"

Radical Scandal About Mr.. Chase.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Staas Zeitung, German Radi.
cal paper, thus puts the Radical scandal
about the Cbief.justicc. lie says:
81 was told, the day previous to Chasc's
protest in regard to the preliminary steps
Of the Senate, that Chase would write
letter, and that he would decline peren;p-
toriiy TO preside over the Impeachment
Court. A letter in this sense was indeed
written 10y Mr. Chase and handed to Sen
ator Pomcroy, but it was suppressed. 1t
is probable that Senator Pomeroy pre-
vailed on Mr. Chase to take it back, but
he succeeded only after the very greatest
cyertions in inducing him to 90 the Sen
ate at all. / know that from the com
menccment Mr.. Chase was opposed to
impeachment, and that he would do all
in his power to run it down into the
mud The men who told me so are trust.
worthy and they never deceive me.
at is fact that in 1864 Mr.. Chase in
tended to take the stump against Mr..
Lincoln, and that his friends had much
trouble to make him abandon that idea.
The position Of Chief-jnstcc was the
prize for which he abstained from his pur.
pose. His ambition is unlimited, and
every body in Washington knows how
the neglect of the Radical party for his
claims affects him.
