Michel La Riviere and Theodore St

solent to ST Onge, challenging him to
fight. They stripped off their coats and
went out doors, When St Onge said he
did not wish to fight, and put on his
coat and went back into the house. La
Riviere followed, continuing his mena-
ces, and began sparring with St. Onge,
who finally struck him on the forehead
with his hand telling him to the floor.
Upon this the mother of La Riviere took
up club and started for St. Onge who
ran out doors, the two in chase. La

THE COUNTY FAIR.

y . s & . ga ..s-
Our exchanges are coming to US with
their local columns flied with accounts Of
s'The Fair" Such will not be the case
with us, for we can sum up the occasion
In few lines. In the first place, the
fair was inclined to somewhat of a fail
urc, from what cause we are not prepar
ed to say. There were not near as many
enteries as last year. and. we think,
not as many in attendance. What was
brought there for exhibition was good
in fact, there were articles entered that
could not be beaten in the State, and a
review of them would prove interesting,
perhaps, but we lack the space. There
was not the necessary interest taken by
the farmers to make a perfect success of
1t. Many Of them came to the Fair,
bringing nothing, who were loud in their
complaints at the lack of articles on ex-
hlbition. When that class of men lose
interest in such an undertaking, then it
Is time for it to cease its existance. The
weather during Wednesday and Thurs
day was good enough, but on Friday it
rained, which of course. spoiled nearly
everything. The races were devoid of
and. take it all in all, the County
Fair was I'VE regret to say it, "fzzle."
Let US hope for better one next year,
that will more than make up for what
it lacked this time.

SAD CASE OF SUICIDE,

Mrs. Sarah Erickson. residing in the
Town Of Rapids, committed suicide by
drowning on Thursday of last week. She
was laboring under a fit of temporary
insanity, the result of chronic disease
taking an acute form, and while in this
condition she left her home and went to
the river, a distance Of one and one half
miles, and then drowned herself. She
was observed going toward the stream,
and not re-appearing, search was insti-
tuted. The first traces found were pair
of shoes and an apron lying on the bank
of the river. The corpse was soon after
discovered, lying in Is inches of water.
The deceased lady was we'll known to
numerous Of our citizens, haYing formed
large circle Of acquaintances during her
residence of 20 years in our County, and
none whc came in contact with her could
fail in expressing the opinion that she
was good christian woman. She leaves
a family consisting Of two sons and two
daughters to mourn her sudden and aw
full death; and not these alone, are the
mourners, but all who knew the cid lady
will feel her loss. The deceased was 81
years of age. We get the above facts
from Doctor Balcom, and are given as
they appear in the records Of the Coron-
ers Jury.

Corn VS.. PAPER.-It is said that it
takes about GO grains Of corn to make
one glass of whiskey, which is not worth
more than one eighth Of cent. This
glass of whiskey sells for FIVE cents.
Now. show US the man who is too poor
to take a newspaper, paying for a sheet
which it takes a quarter ola million types
to prepare the same five cents. anJ then
tell US who is the most benefited by his
Investment, the man who cant afford
to- take a newspaper, and the man who
can afford to drink the extract of 60
grains ofcorn aud pay the same price
therefor. We know many men in this
city VII o cant afford" to take news
paper, but who never let a day pass
without drinking at least one glass of
whiskey or some other equally expensive
drink. Think of this, ye imbibers, and
instead of spending your five cents for a
dram, go to some printing Office and buy
a paper that will benefit yourself and
your family. Try it!

for not competing for the prize, the prin-
