fair of 1869. '7'1i
The fair this year is TO be held at Madi-

Considerable work has been and will be
done on the grounds, which will render
them more complete than at any previous
fair. r gst 4esf.
The railroad companies will as hereto.
fore grant free transportation of property
and half fare for passengers. The premi-
UNI list is not materially changed from last
year, though some needed alterations have
been made. Besides the inducements on
the fair grounds, arrangements are being
made for securing the. services of eminent
lecturers and orators. It is hoped that
the people of the state will take an inter
est in the coming fair, and make it the
most successful ever held in the state.

What shall Girls Study?

Ems. CHRONICLE II noticed conmuni-
cation in your paper some time since, in
which the writer thought an understand
ing of physiology an essential thing for
ladies. I do not wish to disagree entirely
with these views, but would suggest an
amendment that knowledge of the art
of cooking, of preparing suitable food for
the nourishmento of the body, is much more
important. An understanding of all the
properties of food. and its effects on the
system would require an acquaintance with
chemistry and botany, as well as physolo-
gy but of which good practical knowl-
edge can be acquiredlby faithful appren-
ticeship, combined with common sense and
of greater benefit to the mass Of mankind,
than all the ologies. 1t would be a curious
study could we penetrate all the reasons
for the crimes that have been committed
in the world. No doubt, large share
might be attributed to bad digestion
and if, as has been asserted, lazy man is
sick man, and peculiarly wicked one,
an insane man, and while dyspepsia is
known to exercise such controlling in
huence over mind and body, it is not
stretching the point much farther, and Ger,
tainly has great degree of plausibility on
it's side, to assert that wicked and lazy men
are often made so by vretchedly cooked
meals. Physiology may tell US that the
scarcely digestible biscuit we ate for sup
per, and which is tormenting our stomach,
ifnot our soul, is formed into chyme, then
into chile, and then becomes blood, but
that knowledge does not save us from tor
ture, nor from the feeling that the world
is peculiarly gloomy one, and we a vic
tim of many sorrows. But let the food be
prepared in proper manner, and by an
understanding hand, fitting in every sense
our palate and our stomach, and our views
of life and happiness are materially modi-
fed, if-not altogether changed. The witty
Iculdi hcu w lIlciiu WIZ
was proposing to go as missionary to
some of the man-loving natives of the Pa
cific, that he hoped when his hearers ate
him, he would set hard on their stomachs.
Now, this was the refinement of revenge.
Their consciences might have the sleep of
death, but their stomachs should have its
tortures, and if, instead of digesting the
preaching, they insisted on digesting the
preacher, that he should prove as tough to
them as one of his sermons. would be a
fitting retrbution. .'1
That wife who gets her husbsnd a meal
and then waits until it is over to prefer
her request, is in no wise assured of sue
cess, if the meal is not successful one.
We think our young ladies can study
this branch with profit to themselves and
others, and we have no doubt that thor
ough understanding of it, combined with
neatness and industry, will make home
happier than any other accomplishment
they may possess. ELIDA.

Il Il ENA.

EDS. CHRONICLE: Quite an excitement
was created in our usually quiet village
last Monday by the arrival in town of par
ties from Boscobel in search OF, a man that
had hired horse and buggy there under
false pretences. 1t seems the man, who is
quite villainous looking fellow, hired the
buggy, stating he was going to Woodman,
instead of which he proceeded to Lone
Rock, and after visiting few places there,
and crossing the river he stopped with a
female acquaintance over night, the next
morning he requested her to go to Bosco-
bel with the buggy. She did SO, and was
met on the road by parties in search of the
villain. She informed them that he had
taken the road to Arena. They drove on
and arrived just in time. A warrant
was Immediately procured for his arrest.
The prisoner gave the name of Gen. Hovey,
which is no doubt fictitious one. After
preliminary examination before the JUS
tice, he was taken to room, stripped and
searched, to see THAT he had no con-
cealed weapons about his person. The
report of his arrest soon circulated through
the village, and the citizens gathered to-
gether to get a view of him. As the
constable was taking out his official pa
pers to read them over previous to taking
the prisoner to Jail, the prisoner started
and ran, pursued by almost the whole
village. After a chase of several miles
along the railroad track, twas found that
pursuit was useless, the prisoner outrun-
ming his pursuers. 19 -
Various remarks were made in regard
to his guilt or innocence, when. a young
man by the name of Jake Dodge, who has
gained quite notoriety for his fighting
propensities, challenged the constable to
fight. The constable being somewhat of a
pugilist, Immediately put himself in posi-
ton, and the set-to commenced. After an
exciting and running fight for over two
miles, each one fighting desperately, when
night coming on put an end to the EN-
counter, the odds being in favor of the con-
stable, who was declared victor. Altogeth-
er, there was quite an exciting time, the
whole affair from the time of arrival to the
end of the fight lasting many hours.
The prisoner is rather bold one, for he
was seen early the next morning walking
through the village,by some of our citizens.
