Police ITEMs.-John kannion q young.
ster Of 10 or IL years, was araigned be-
fore Justice Little on Tuesday, and fined
81 and costr for stealing apples from the
garden Of Mr.. Knight, east Of town.
Nicholas Burke, stone cutter at the
Asylum, was hauled up before the same
magistrate and made to disburse 50 and
costs for getting drunk on Sunday and
lying spread around loose in the rear Of the
Post Office.
Smith Redd for getting drunk and smash
ing the windows of Mr.. Everett, next door
to the Post Office, was fined $40 and costs,
which not being able to produce, Sheriff
Davis provided Him with elegant lodgings
in the county sieve. Being rather coarse
Redd did not silt out.
Five parties were arraigned before the
Justice last week for working in the har-
vest field on Sunday. A jury trial was had,
the result of which was verdict Ct "no;
guilty." The verdict was based on the
plea that such labor under the circum.
stances was q work Of necessity.
Jim Maloney and Charley Vennard had
a mill last Saturday night. This is not a
police item, but should have been. Ven.
nard should have been punished for getting
drunk and fighting, and Maloney for fight.

SHALL We HAVE Az AGRICULTURAL So
cIErY2--We are reminded by the reception
OF the Premium List of the Delaware
County Agricultural Society, that our own
County is wofully behind her neighbors in
the matter Of association tor the promotion
of agriculture. Not only are we TO have
no fair in Buchanan County this year, but
we are also destitute of an agricultural or
ganzation, by means Of which the ma
chinery Of Fair may be set in motion.
We baye Fair Grounds about which W.
have made considerable noise and which
are indeed creditable to the enterprise and
iberality of those who were instrumental in
procuring and fitting them up; but the des-
ignation "Fair Grounds" is a misnomer:
the place Is nothing yet but An Indifferent
oat field surrounded by high board fence.
Our farmers are as intelligent, and skillful
in their calling, our farmers wives and
daughters as tasteful, neat and clever in the,
department Of domestic manufactures. orr
products Of farm and dairy as credi,able,
our herds of stock as handsome as those of
any other county. We have all the condi-
tons necessary to make good fair except
the disposition to do it. 1t is probably too
late to make the necessary arrangements
for County Fair this year, but we would
earnestly appeal to our farmers to take
steps at an early day toward the organiza-
ton of a live County Agricultural Society,
to the end that next year we may have
fur which will represent the progress we
are making in agriculture and the mechan-
lie arts. let the organization of this socie-
ty be delayed not longer than the first of
January, and let men of known energy aud
vigor be made its officers, and we will have
an exhibition CT our products and manu-
features next fall that we may we'll be proud
OF, and that will result in much pleasure
and profit to all concerned.
