AaRIcULruRAL AssocIATIoN.-At the
meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Association, on Saturday. no adequate
proposition was made for inducing The
holding Of the County Fair. The Direc-
tors were almost giving it up. when they
determined to make one more effort. 'Au
assessment Of IS cents on each share oI
stock was ordered, which. added to the
assessment previously made. will amount
to Is cents on each share. As the former
assessment has not been paid up. and {
proportion of the new one will probably
not be, an effort will be m sde to secure 9
sufficient number of new share subscrip-
tions to make up for ell deliuquencies
It is hoped that in this way at least sl.'

good Fairs sun much smaller than that
would not justify the attempt. Th'
Board will meet sgain on Saturday. June

ed, active preparations for Fair will be
commenced at once. We hope the en-
tsrprise will not be permitted to fail. af
ter having opened so auspiciously. and

BoeUs.-In the bribery investigations
going on at Washington. it has been
charged that Senator Pomeroy proposed.
for $40. 900. to control and guarantee
three Republican votes against the Presi-
dents conviction. While We believe
that Pomeroy is as fond as any man Of q
little dicker, We do not believe . word o!
this story. It besra improbability all
over it. upon whichever side we look ct
it. We might give City or hundred
good reasons for believing it false bat
it is unnecessary. The idea of Offering
to sell three votes on such question for
$40. 900, and the other idea that the Pre-
sident's friends were backward about
buying at that figure. are simply silly.
