The PRINCE OF WALES though he promis-
ed not long ago in speech at Manchester, to
put away his old riotous habits like the
"Prince Hal" of Shakespeare, is going to the
bad again. As an evidence OF this the English
papers cite note written by him to the ac-
tress Schneider, the originator and most sue
cessful performer of the amorous wriggle
which Tostee and other will known actresses
have initiated. Schneider recently had q mar
row escape from death by burning and the
Prince wrote note congratulating her on her
escape. Wberenpon it has been represented
that Wales has been very intimate with the
lady, and much comment in the newspapers
has ensued.

Messrs Fields, Osgood & Co., Boston, have
issued another collection of the miscellaneous
papers of the Rev. Edward Everett Hale 1t
tains five different sketches, contributed dur
ing the past year to various periodicals. "My
visit 10 Sybaris," which appeared in the allan
TIC Monthly, and How they lived at Naguada-
wick, published in the Weekly Spectator, will
be readily remembered by many readers. In
preface to the collection Mr.. Hale calls at
tention to the fact that all the papers have a
single object; namely, to enforce the necessity
OF better homes for laboring men. He says if
be were to classify them himself, he would say
that the account of Naguadayick is the ac.
count of what ought to be; the account Of
blow they lived in Vine land" is the account
Of what is; and the the account of sHow they
lived in Boston," is the account of what ought
not to be. Therefore though mnch of the lit

purpose of the whole is eminentlv practical

The Nineteenth Annual Exhibition OF the
West Oxford County Fair took place at Frye

the middle and usually the important day of
the Fair was very stormy. AS much, there
fore. of the ordinary proceedings of the middle
day as could be postponed were set down for
Thursday. The last day came in, and held
out, clear and smiling, and notwithstanding
the flooding of several of the important high
ways to Fryeburg, in the low places, large
assemhlage was "on the groundn to the close.
BY reason OF the freshet the exhibition of Stock
was small, and to some extent there was fall

ercises interesting A fine show of homespun
fabrics, together with small nice work, all
beautiful specimens of home industry and
skill, adorned the great tables; whilst superb
stufs of weightier matter-such as rugs, car

walls of the apartments. The cunning handi-

But the leading topic of the "Fair' at Frye.
burg on this occasion was the action to be ia.
ken in relation to the location of the tracks
and structures of the Portland & Ogdensburg
Railroad, so soon to be built into this beautiful
village, up to the very threshold of the White
Mountains.
The permanent location of the p & o. r. Il.
just completed and advertised, runs directly
through the occupied grounds of the West Ok
ford County Fair Association, at a point,
also, where it is in contemplation to fix de-
pot. In other words, the Railroad will very
nearly cut in two the fifteen acres owned by
the ''Fair Grounds" two-tbirds of which, more

which looked like anything but free grant O

objects of the HFair" In this view, the upshoi
of the meeting was this, a competent commit

range with the trustees of the railroad, for &
E.
of the road; it being stated, in behalf of the di
rectors, that some plan could be devised
whereby more of the vacant and less of the &C

made available to the Railroad. .
