Henderson, ITEMs.-We clip from
the Reporter Of Thursday the follow
ing paragraphs;
JAILoR.-An election for Tailor of
this county will take place next Au-
gust. Candidates are already multi
plying.
We are glad to learn that the pros
poets are favorable for the late fair
paying all the Indebtedness incurred,
for premiums and other expenses.
We had feared the unreasonable
weather would create a financial crisis,
but have reason to state otherwise. p
The residence of j. E. Dolard, liv-
ing on Adams Street, was entered and
robbed of various articles of clothing,
&C., last Monday night. The thief or
thieves carried off five pairs of pants,
a watch and five or SIX dollars IN
nickels; also several coats.
The residence of Mrs. S. Jewell
living in the same neighborhood of
Mr.. Dolard, was also entered the
same night, but the house breaker
was frightened off by Mrs. Il. before
he had time to secure any plumber.
Two men, suspected thieves, were
arrested on Saturday night last by
| officer Evans. One Of them played
policeman on Thursday night and
swindled a Jew dealer out of about
$6. Both were found to be profes.
sional gamblers. One of them, if the
| robbed man had been in the city
when the case came up, would un
doubtedly have went over to tht
Circuit Court and perhaps to thS
penitentiary. In the absence of tht
| important witness, both prisoner;
were discharged. Fl
The balloon ascension from the

but on the descension met with ar
accident-the air ship was hung IN Z
tree, and a lengthy and strengthy

from their perilous situation. While
the goose hung high" all thing;
were lovely" Notwithstanding th'
imminent danger - but woman

Four little sons of Ham wer,
picked up ;" last Sunday, attempting
to rob the grocery store of Mr.. Mar
tin Glass, on Lower Main Street
The grocery had been entered thre,
or four times before, and small
amounts of money extracted from thu
drawers, amounting, we believe, tt
upwards of $50. Upon being caugh
by Mr.. Glass, two were trapped in th,
cellar, while two were guarded unit
officers arrived to take the youni
thieves In charge. Two are In Jail
: one is out on bail, and a fourth is re
tanned as States evidence.
We are an admirer of the ugly
the beautiful and the popular; bu
we protest against either ever agar
being brought within the scope o
decision of those who control o.
attend fair, the object of which is t
encourage the Improvement of stock
. agriculture In all its departments
manufactures, art in its varied beau
ties and projections, and limitations o
nature-and various other little fool
ishnesses we witnessed at the fair las
week. Those who are ugly, if they
deserve that title, should not be ad
vertised to the world for the defect
of nature in their persons which
they could not control. Then, again
one of the handsomest young gentle
men of the city should not be adver
tised to the fair ones abroad as al
ogre, although he may wear specta
cles. Fairs were inaUgurated to fos
ter the practical and useful. If on
is ugly, it will be known; if one j
pretty or beautiful, the fact will b
discovered. Let the Henderson Fai
hereafter be conducted, not as
circus, but as an institution caleu
lated to benefit the material interest
of the county.
