DISCOVERY OF Coal ON THE HrMBoLDT.
Tle Hanboldt Register Of the 18th instant
svs. We were shown by Judge Carter, one
law this week, some samples Of coal taken
from the outcrop Of what appeared to be an
extensive coal field situated about eight
r.;les from the Humboldt river and below
Gravelly Ford The samples in Judge Car
tars possession burned very freely giving
ont the unmistakable bituminous smoke and
oror. and in appearance resembled exactly
the coal found 70 the east Of Salt Lake along
he line Of the Union Pacific Railroad. The
discovery was m lde BY Judge Carter, w llliam
Gregg, and another man whose name we
did not learn. The locality is the same
where coal has been said to exist since the
summer Of 1850 Some four wears ago Mr..
Gregg fitted out party at Star City and
w,nt il search of this coal field. which had
been described TO him by one who had been
on the GROUND and had tested Its quality
b Il the Iudians were at that time so trouble
rlme that thy were compelled 10 abandon
the attempt TO reach II. Since that time no
further attempt had been made BY him to
ind the locality until a few days ago, when
lis enterprise was rewarded with complete
success. The coal basin is said to be sew
oral miles in extent. and is discovery at this
time seems almost providental. It's prox-
unity t. the railroad in a part OF the country
where fuel Of any kind could not be obtained
without long reach of transportation, will be
of incalculahle advantage to the railroad
conppnv, and will insure for the fortunate
- nf M
lions. The Register Office having been pre-
santed with quarter section of coal land. we
g up in a dav or two to make an examina-
IN Or the premises, and upon our return

SURE POP-Prof. Isaacsen, the inventor and
manufacturer of this famous rat poison, was in
town q few days since and gave small audience
in our sanctum q very interesting lecture on
rats He has devoted the greater part Of his life
to the study of the character, habits and in.
stincts Of the rats, and seems to have had Won
dsrful power over them, having formerly made
rat catching his profession. One of his feats was
going on board vessels infested with rats and
making them jump overheard by hundreds. He
is now engaged in introducing his "Sure Pop" in
the West. 1t is claimed for it that it is eagerly
eaten by them and it SO affects them as to cau>e
them TO leave the premises to die.

named Charles H. Hill was brought to this city
from New Rutland, in this county, and lodged
in Jail on some triiing complaint. Yesterday he
appeared before Esqs. Lockwood and Bernhard
with bondsmen to release him from Jail. While
in the office, Detective c. s. c. Crane recognised
him as gentleman whom the authorities in St.

matter involving the crime Of forgery, and as
soon as the justices had released him on bail, Mr..

The Horse Fair.

The Horse Fair. the opening of which under
tolerably favorable auspices on the I'd inst, was
noticed in our last, hardly came up to the anti
cipations of its projectors on the two subsequent
days. The great drawback unquestionably was
the intense heat of the weather. The fair
ground is without . tree or even respectable
shed to make shade, and people were unwilling
to risk dying of sunstroke to witness the finest
horse race in the world. There was, however,
as stated in our last, q good deal of splendid
horse-fesh on exhibition, and there were some
| very fine races. The attendance on Saturday
may have been twelve to fifteen hundred people,
and the exercises interesting enough to justify
ten times as large an audience.
In Ladies' Equestrianism there was more COM
petition than we expected to see under such q
sun, and the premiums awarded we thought
fairly earned. The first premium for fine riding
"a gold watch worth SIS, was awarded to Miss
Mary DEEMS. Of Rutland; the 2d-a silver
pitcher worth $50, TO josephine Gray, of Grun.
dy county. rrlys rr..r "a. ........
For "Ladies' Driving Double Team" Mrs.
Thomas Ready, of Ottawa, bore of the prize
Driving single horse, Mrs. Phil Cenlin, of La
Sale, got the prize.
On the last day of the fair there were three
races, the first, a trot won by Henry" owned
by Mr.. Smith, of Earlville; I'd premium won by
"Idle," owned by Pat Gavin, Of Chicago; Sd,
by "Lady Colvin," owned by John Stout, OF
Ottawa.
The second was running race, and was won
handsomely by the thoroughbred stallion "Lexi
con-" owned by Delano s. Ford, of Ottawa-time
1:5O; "Billy," owned by Mr.. Moshier, of Tonica
coming in second best.
The last, q running race, of four year olds
was won by "Buckshot," owned by Franl
Bruner; "Blackhswk," owned by Mr.. Richard
son, coming in second best
Ameng the more important premiums award
ed during the fair were the following:
On Thoroughbred Stallisns-1st to Lexicon,
owned by Delano & Ford; I'd to "John Rich
ards" owned by H. Day.
On same, two years old-lst to "Young Rich
ards" owned by John Delbridge.
On Draft Stallions-1st to Norman owned
by j. Lawrence; I'd to ''Marindo," owned by A
Strawn.
On Draft Stations, 3 years old-1st to "Josepl
Napoleon owned by Sclyman Bell; 2d I,
"Young Normal" owned by Jehn DsIbridge.
On same, yrs. old-lst to young Norman,
owned by Thos. McDermot; I'd to "Gen. Grant,
owned by Enoch Newbern, of Livingston Co.
The management of the fair will, we presume
profit by their experience this year, and hold
their next exhibition at less torrid season o.
the year.

The 4th in OttaWa.

The week since the 4th of July has been 90
full of other excitements, crowding on our atten-
ton and space. that we are hardly able to do
justice to the dongs in Ottawa on the 4th.
The day was appropriately ushered in with
the booming Of caanon-the salute being fred
under the auspices of the Ottawa Post of the G..
A. R., who had really taken the main celebration
proposed for the day in hand.
By ten o'clock the usual crowd from the coun-
try had come in with even more than wonted
liberality; and at about the same hour steps
were taken to organize the proposed grand pro.
cession on Columbus street. the right resting on
Main. Owing, however, largely to the intense
lingly imposing affair. 1t was led by the La
Sale Cornet Band, a new organization, but real.
ly very excellent in its way; then came the
officers Of the day in carriages next the German
Turner'S, with company Of juvenile athletics
connected with the Turner association next the
Undine Engine Company, in dazzling bright
uniforms and their engine beautifully decorated,
forming really the only attractive feature Of the
procession. Next the programme said citizens
in carriages and on foot" but the "cits" seemed
weren't there. A squad of abou, 80 members Of
the G. A. r. brought up the rear,-the whole
procession being about 25 rods in length. 1t
marched through various streets, and then across
the Illinois river bridge to beautiful grove,
where hundreds of people of all sexes had already
gathered to meet it.
The exercises at the grove consisted Of music
by the band 2. Prayer, by Rev. E. N. Lewis.
3 Reading the Declaration of Independence, by
Arthur Lockwood, Esq 4. Presentation Of bat.
tie flags by tho Ladies Aid Society to the G. A.
r. The presentation speech, which was gem
in its way, was made by Hon. p. X. Leland, and
was responded to, On behalf OF tho G.. A. R., by
Maj. N. W. Taylor, present clerk of the Supreme
Court. The majors speech was short, neat, and
brim full of patriotic utterances. Nothing could
have been in better taste, or more appropriate 10
the occasion. 8. More music. 8. Speech by the
orator of the day-the Rev. J. A. Gray, of Chi.
oago. Mr.. G. is one of the most eloquent men OF
the Illinois pulpit and it is sufficient to say that
succeeded by more music, good deal Of social
interchange and greeting, and then the process
sion was reorganized latter fashion," and re-
turned to the city.
The day, so far as this part of the celebration
was concerned, closed with beautiful display
of fireworks in the evening. The brilliancy Of
the display was immensely enchanced by gor.
geous addition of natures own fireworks in q
heavy thunder cloud beyond. The rivalry be.
tween the two was at times quite animating, but
while the powder had the advantage in variety,
the electricity was admitted to have excelled i'm.
mensely in point Of grandeur.
The other branch of the days advertisements
presented by Ottawa was the Horse Show, Of
which word elsewhere.

We announce with deep regret the death, in
tho early part of the present week, of Mr.. FRED
ERICK SAINsLER, one of the finest 'workers in

few months ago, to speak of him as mechanic,
in connection with the work he had done in fit
ting up Mr.. kueussl's new drug store. Such a

from Germany, but had lived in Ottawa for the

Most people like to see prosperity, whether
they enjoy it themselves or not, 90 it is not the
prosperity of rival. Hence everybody likes to
visit the store of Scott Houtz & Co., and enioy
the busy, bustling scene. These gentlemen are
doing splendid business, in spite of the dull
season, and the only reason for it is, that their
goods are uncommonly good and they sell them
extra uncommonly cheap.
