Come all you mechanics aad try your skill,
10 vie with each other and that in good will:
Your craft and your talent your genius prepare
To come and exhibit the day of the Fair.
Come all ye good farmers who live by your

The harvest is ended, the time you may spare,
Away with misgivings and come to the Fair.
Come all ye old Bachelors, don't be afraid,
The Ladies will show you the works they have
made;
And their own pretty faces, truly delaro,
Will warm your cold hearts if you come to the
Fair. --.
Come all ye good Ladies, the time Is at hand
Your quilts and your butter, with flowers for
the stand;
Just pack them together fright side up with
care"
Your beaus and your lovers will be at the Fair.
While banners are flying the music will play,
And friendship await you, we're bound to bo
gay;
With mirth and amusement to chase away care,
Oh, wonn't we be merry the day of the Fair.

SENECA TOWNSHIP, Sept. 80, 1869

SENECA TOWNSHIP, Sept 80, 1869.
Mr.. WEST Last week whilst in
Woodsfeld, learned that two, or at
most three, Democrats who think they
have life lease on the votes Of the
Monroe Democracy, talked of starting
a Radical paper. 1t struck me at the
time as being proper for these chronic
office holders to do that thing, as it is
evident to us here in the country that
they can not control the SPIRITS col.
ums t1support their waning popular
ity.
The Radical party is the place for the
above individuals, and the sooner they
proclaim themselves publicly, the better
for the Democracy. t;.-5.

His face grew grave as hetrod the porch;
And the thronsiug poor. the untaught mass, g,
