THIRD DAY.

Thursday, the last day of the Fair,
came in bright, warm and windy.
The road to the fair grounds were
thrOnged all day long with goers and
corners. The crowd on the ground
was immense. The Hall, in which
was displayed most of the smaller ar
ticles on exhibition, said to be 300 feet
long by 80 feet wide, was so packed
full of women, men and children, that
it was scarcely possible for the COM
mittees to make their examinations.
The interest was not abatedin this de-
partment until about 3 O'Clock p. NJ,
when the trOtting commenced. We
have noticed about all that Is on exhi-
biti0n worthy of note, excepting it
may be W. T. Denis show case of fire
arms and equipments, his live deer,
his antelope, deer and bufilO heads
and horns, exhibited as m~eDentOes of
his hunting hays. The twolive buff
aloes of Starry's were centre of inter
est, The apples presented ty Lyana
have their history: 7. r. Fisher eight
years ago, when he owned the Adrer-
tiser Office, purchased a peel Of apple
seed with which to start a nursery;
the mice ate the most; Fisher planted
most of the balance, and Lyana a
small handful of the seed from which
grew the trees that produce the large,
superior Lyana apple now attracting
so much attention at the fair and now
the old citizens of this county have it
20 lament that they did not ecoRomise
just sufficient time and labor ten years
since, which are productions of such
vast benefits and results in the pres
ent. Then commence now, and eight
years hence Lyana's experience viii
be yours more fully amplified.
We took to-day more especial notice
of the stock out of fifty entries of
horses we mentioned. VIM. Linn's
dark bay stud with brood mare and
colts by his side, and especially the
colt of his owned by Henry Hart,
of Aspinwan a dark brown stallion,
nine years old by Robert Sayer; a
heavy MesseDger-ba bay stallion. 164
hands, weight 1,24 pounds, owned by
George Ashley; a Morgan and Ham
blibonia, four years old, Is hands,
weight 1900, owned by G. 9. Hale;
the Argabright stallion, so well and
favorably known throughout the
southern portion of the county the
yearling Durham bull and heifer,
owned by John Delay and JOhnathan
Higgins, bull weighing 800 pounds;
il. TerrelIs Durham bull, weight
1900, four years old; Amos Hughes's
grade bull, three years old also his
cow and calf, and Mr.. Campben's two
cows and their calves.
The show of pigs was good, but not
large. The account Of the trOtting
we win give in a separate article. Al
together the show was good, the
weather fine, and the officers and COM
munity satisfied.

A more harmonious and pleasant
contest of the kind it is seldom any
ones province to witness. Its gene
raj management, resting particularly
with Messrs. T. A. TisdSI, B. Rogers
and Eli Wilcox, gave good satisfaction,
not a murmur of complaint either on
or off the stand was heard. A little
betting was done, but nothing what
ever occurred to make this feature OBJ
noxiOus to the most fastideOus.

Prof. Beals, the-State SuPerinten-
dent, was in BrOwnville one day last
week. He had a long conference with
our School Board and a few of the
friends of education. The Professor
is endeavoring to eounteract the UNI
favorable impression prevailing
Throughout the State in reference to
the selection of text books recently
made. The OPPOSITION has done one
good thing. 1t has aroused the Pro-
fessor and set him earnestly and ac-
lively at work. This has been the
great obstacle he has had to contend
with-a disposition to house himself
up, plodding his way among statistics
and dead matter. We do actually
and firmly believe the Professor has
done more good in the cause of educa-
ton the past two weeks than in all
his previous terms. The people want
Ito see him and hear from him-what
he intends and is doing. He promises
70 return to our county again this fall

teachers. We will give timely notice

On Monday morning last James w.
Wright was arraigned for assaulting
Joseph Casinbach, with a deadly
weapon with intent to kill. He
plead first that he did not know he
done 50. His counsel instructed him
70 plead not guilty, when he so plead.
If Casinbach should die Of the wound
thus received we shall, as we already
have, hear long sermons upon the
depravity and awful Wickedness Of
said Wright, to sll Of which we beg
leave to differ. We charge this muir
der, and other crimes innumerabIe.
upon this public system, Endorsed by
many christian gentleman in the
State, which authorized the licensing
of the sale Of intoxicating liquors
upon every street corner in every
town and city in the State.
Mr.. James W. Wright sober on
Monday Morning, and Mr.. James w.
Wright on last Saturday afternoon,
under n lnnuenee OF bad whisky,
are as unlike each other in action, APP
pesrance, manners and intentions, as
the most blOod-thirsty highwayman is
unlike the meekest of our christian
ministers. Still, we suppose that
Drunken Wright viii be punished as
the law directs, and the internal sys
tenn Of poisoning, infGFiating and
madening our unfortunate citizens
win continue without a protest. No
we do protest and win, and are
ready as we ever have been, to brave
the consequences. This system of al
lowing the sale OF intoxicating liquors
under any but the most absolutely
necessary circumstances, land we no
81 none,3 is productive of the worst
evils with which the human race Is
fhicted, and should be prohibited.

of the crowd assembled at the track
on the Fair ground Wednesday for the

Ladr,s EnuestrLanship.

The Lady's Riding Match, yesterday
afternoon, was, so far, one of the most
interesting features of the Fair. The
Ladies competing were Miss Mary
Haywood, Miss Ellen Strong, Miss
Starry, Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. BeasOn.
While the Awarding Committee, eho-
sen on the ground by the President,
consisted of Judge Dundy, of Rich
ardson county, DR.. c. F.. Stewart, w.
H. Larkins, NJ. H. Handkerchief and
T. J. Majors.
The Committee decided that racing
or very fast riding should not be al
lowed, which being communicated
to the ladies, the ride commenced in a
spirited manner. All handled their
horses well, yet some it could be seen
labored under Disadvantages. The
Riding lasted for about one hour, dur
ing which time they exercised in diff.
ferent gaits, doing, it is presumed in
each their best, and more graceful
looking lot Of ladies than they
seldom seen together on horseback.
The Committee having decided the
Ladies were called in and the follow
ing awards made:
LIST Premium, Miss Mary Haywood.
I'd Premium, Mrs. Paris Stevens.
Sd Premium, Mrs. J. III. BeasOn.
There was but one incident that
came near marring the pleasure Ofthe
occasion. The saddle girth of the
horse rode by Mrs. Stevens became
lose and her horse under fair Roadway
stopping suddenly at the stand she
was precipitated to the ground, yet
not hurt. Altogether the Riding
Match was a perfect success.

persons, one named James w. Wright
and the other Joseph Casinbach, both
residents OfSOnOra Island, endeavored
to vote for delegates to the county

was elected that they were both Dem

were refused. They in together,

than one hour thereafter James w.
Wright fatally stabbed Joseph Casin-
back near the diaphram, with a large
pocket knife. They commenced quar-
relIing near DR.. Holidays drug

horse-thief, and Casinbach calling
Wright a hog-thief. Then Wright
