LOCAL AFFAIRS.


The pressure upon our columns prevents an
extended not ice Of the various articles at the
Fair last week, which We do not regret so much.
since the hberali,y Of the Society Ia the repor,
nov forth coming will award to or honorably
mention nearly oil the contributes. The dis
play Of rugs was very excellent, better than .,
the State Fair In Portland. and VIC award York
county the State banner for excellence In this
specially. The specimen jars Of butter We q
better than ordinary. while the honey entered
by Mr. 8. L. Smith Of Dayton, is especially
deserving OF mention and premium. We erred
last week in speaking Of upholstered furniture
Turner & Parsons are the only furniture deal
ers in the county who upholster their own
goods, which specimens were very handsome.
Ofthr paintings, uorsted and needle work We
cannot speak In detail. further than to sly
the entries were very numerous and In good
taste. E. A. & w. ID. Henderson. Of this
city and Eaton & Emery OF Buxton, had some
very elegant specimens Of their manufacture
Of boots and shoes. The corner occupied by
y. N. Hodsdon. With sewing and knitting
machines was especially attractive. rs Was also
the rich display Of jewelry. watches, &C..
from Twsmbly s Son Of saco. The large
worsied picture by Mrs. NJ. Smith of Saco,
was one ofthe hanisomest specimens Of wors-
eel drawing We ever SAY. The elegant show
cases of goods from our merchants gave proof
that Gu .tomors need not 20 out of town to get
rich goods and large varieties. We understand
that the COMMITTEES report has been made out
ready for publication to-day. but the managers
recommitted the report with an additions al SUN
OF money TO be awarded. so well pleased were
they " it'll the large Hall exhibit.

Last week in abiding to the Infamous letter
purportng to come from several leading DEM
oerats OF saco and Diddeford" to Rev. John
Stevens. We eharitably exonerated any leading
democrat from such vile and abusive insult
Unprincipled - VIC viewed the democrats, We
could but think that the better part Of them
had some seli-respect LETT, but In this we were
mistaken. The editor Of the Dsnoerot, across
the way, steps into the ring. with full en-
dorsement Of the sentiment Of that letter. We
suppose the Democrat man considers himself
the smbodiment' OF the democracy OF this Coun-
~ at least. and for ausht We know Of tho State.
Hear him. "Mr. Stevens should not feel very
much grieved that his obnoxious course has
produced offence, and even disgust with
large part of community. A minister OF the
gospel who % FAR brsets his calling rs to dab
bic In the dirty pool VI politics, must expect to
meet with the just contempt Ola largo part Of
the people" Al to the politics Of tho copper
head party. bsipg "a dirty pool " We yield the
C5iSf Without I;.cassion. n the democratic
party OF York County are willing to take the
responsibility ofsueh aoowardly attack on one
ofourpost esteemed ministers. and one that
ass n ven NJ character should protect from
ssoh oontemptible insults, on them rests the
responsibility. Such Is the Indignation Oft
community. that with large surplus Of our
last weeks clifton, We could not supply tho de-
maud. and No can only meet the demands Of
our Indignant people BY republi'hing the let
ter In this number.
