A BAD PLACE FOR CRIMINALs-The Con-
necticut State Prison. One of the inmates of
that establishment was so disguised with the
wholesome regime to which criminals are sub
jected there that, instead Of waiting for an
opportunity to escape, as he would have done
if he had been rusticating at Sing Sing, he
murdered the warden as the official repre-
sentative Of authority. He was tried yesterday
for the murder, undertook to conduct his own
defence, then sullenly abandoned the attempt,
was convicted, sentenced to be hanged, and
welcomed the sentence in the following
words co am perfectly satisfied with the
result. To be hanged will be an act Of
supreme mercy compared to being compelled
to live in the Connecticut State Prison" This
remarkable speech shows two things-First,
that there is little hope Of any penitence or
remorse being felt by the murderer and,
second, that the Connecticut State Prison is
conducted so as to be wholesome terror to
the criminal classes. In that respect, per-
haps, 1t might be well for the State of New
York to take lesson from Connecticut.

TROUBLE AMONG THE WOMEN.

"Netta's'' Early Closing on--ssNetta,,
Holds the Purse Against the Wish of the
Members.
meeting Of the Saleswomen's Early Closing AS
ISOLATION was held last evening at Plimpton Hall.
Among the members present were Charles Witten-
beecher, the President; A. w. Haughton. Treasurer;
Miss Smith, Charles Horner. Mr.. Cox and a number
Of Others interested IN the movement. The Vice
President, "Netta," was represented by her sister,
who stated that "Netta" was unable TO attend, In
consequence Of sickness. Although the meeting was
announced for eight O'Clock 1t was nine before the
greater part Of the me nhers arrived.
"Netta's" sister opened the proc ceilings by read
ing the minutes of the last meeting, which were
adopted.
The PRESIDENT stated that he was sorry there were
so few present. but still he was convinced that there
were many with them in spirit, though they were
not in Plimpton Hall. He was aware many had
stated in the city and elsewhere that the objects OF
the society had not been realized, but he maintained
that the association would stand through all opposi-
ton rs It's principles were such that could die
out lie hoped tue matter would be seriously dis
cussed among the members, and that q greater
number would enroll themselves to assist them.
Miss SMITH made very interesting speech with
reference TO her canyasslng, and stated that she
had received u number OF promises from sales
women who wished to become members.
J. A. HoRNER moved that q committee Of three be
appointed to wait upon the members who
already enrolled, to suggest greater regularity In
attendance the meetings. and request their active
cooperation In canvassng and collecting.
The CHAIRMAN now left the char and ''took the
floor TO oppose the appointment OF committee.
He said 1t would be simply rulnous to the associa-
ton to wait upon members at their places Of
ness, as many Of their employers had an objection
to the society but he hoped that In short time that
that feeling would be oblterated.
There was one thing that greatly damaged their
cause, and that was the Withholding by MISS Meta
Of the amounts she had collected on their behalf.
The public would not assist them unless prompt
account was given Of every dollar received. Meta
had said she would hand over the money when she
had received q thousand dollars; but that was not
what the public the society desired. He promised
them that during some OF the evenings OF the next
two months he would organize some pleasing social
entertainments, and give the young ladies an oppor
tunity or enjoying themselves with their friends In
the shape OF hops, &C.; but In order to do this and
place the society on firm and reliable basis, 1t
absolutely necessary that they should receive the
funds collected. The motion for the appointment Of
o committee was lost.
1t was proposed by Mr. Cox and seconded by Mr.
HAuGHTON that on Thursday next, 18th inst, all
moneys received by members for the society be
handed over to the treasurer This was agreed to-
and the meeting adjourned

Agricultural Fairs.

The annual agrarian exhibitions which bear
the same relation to the bucolic elite of our
rural districts as the Jerome Park races to the
metropolitan upper ten, are attended with
more than usual success during the present
season. In all directions-in the little county
towns OF Jersey, the more dgnifed munich
palities Of interior New York, the smart
business-like hamlets Of Massachusetts,, the
progressing and yet unsettled communities of
Illinois, the recuperative sections of the
South, and even in the growing city of st
Louis, which rejoices, under the new census,
IN the dignity Of fourth city Of the Union-the
business-like picnics called agricultural fairs
are exhibiting unprecedented programmes in
the matters Of cattle, machinery, blooded
stock, agricultural implements, domestic
manufactures and farm produce. And a ine
exhibit ID made. Never were horned cattle SO
sleek and fat, machinery SO simple and useful,
FLOODED stock so thoroughbred, domestic
manufactures in the way of quilts and pillow
cases so like unto the good old days Of our
grandmothers, or farm produce so plentiful
The South has risen from the fearful effects of
the war. Her fields anfher people are alike
recuperated and brilliant future opens again
before her. She blossoms again like the rose,
while the North blooms like flower garden.
Among the new and most pleasing features
OF the fairs just introduced In the present
season are the award Of premiums to young
men who bring the most young ladies to the
grounds, which is an admirable idea in these
days Of feminine preponderance, when seven
women cling to one man, and awards also to
the young lady who cooks with her own hands
the best meal for small and select company
an idea which is better than a matrimonial
auction in these days when young men have
almost absolute choice of wives and are anx-
ious to secure real helpmeet. Altogether
the fairs are immense successes. not only in
the line Of exhibiting the wealth Of earths
produce and of mans accomplishments, but in
the recreation and social enjoyment which
they afford to old and young alike.

meat which had been furnished for rations. The

selfdeience, though II might be admitted at later
stage en- some other question: Wilson said II this

and should leave the prosecution to go on as they
allow his counsel TO go on. He replied that they
would have nothing further to do; that IL would
save expense to the State to let the prosecution pro-
coed alone. To question of the Court the counsel

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 9, 1870.
State Temperance Convention was held yester-
day for the purpose OF organizing state Temperance
Society. G. G. Partridge, OF st. Louis, presided.
Horace Greeley addressed the Convention. He urged
the organization OF societies throughout the state
and the laying OF scientific facts before the people.
He did not believe In prohibitory laws. but the peo
pie should be taught that alcohol, like opium, IL
poison and should be stunned.
There was an attempt made In the Convention to
organize political movement, 30 far voting only
for temperance men Ii concerned but IL was de-
foAted.
