Persons who attended our Fair will remember
having seen a heavy silver pitcher, handsomely
embossed. prepared as a premium by Capt. Haw-
kins the generous and energetic agent for the
Wheeler & Wilson machine to be awarded to
the person producing the best piece of sewing
executed On it. An intelligent committee, con-
sisting of three ladies and two gentlemen, care
fully examined some fifty-fve or more pieces
submitted, which were numbered-no name be-
ing attached-and awarded the pitcher to Mrs
j. NJ. McCue, for full suit of clothes-cadet
c!oth-made in three days and a half, and with
out interfering with her domestic duties, 1t was
overlooked because Of the hurry and consequent
brevity of our notice Of the many articles on ex-
hibtion.

FIRES IN LEwIsBURG.-At o'clock on the
morning OF Sunday week, the stable and grana-
ry of James Withrow, Esq, were burned, to-
gether with three good horses, all his harness.
$50 bushels of wheat zoo bushels Of oats, some
corn and quantity of hay. His loss is estimated
at $1,000. Three horses escaped DEATH but two
of them were badly burned. His tannery was
near and was with difficulty, saved by the ae-
tive exertions of the citizens. The fire was first
discovered in the hay NOW. It was probably
the iendish work of an incendiary. What adds to
this suspicion is the fact that the wagon-maker' s
shop Of Mr.. John I. Rapp, was attempted to be
burned on the same day. In the latter case the
circumstances conclusively show that this at
tempt was the work of an ncendiary Had this
shop been destroyed it would have resulted in
the destruction of several dwellings near it.

4 GREAT BENEFIT TO THE Com
IA TITUTION.-At this particular season,
when the weather is as changeable as the wind
when the most robust costitutiOns attacked
and NORTHUMBERLAND when feeble systems are
shattered and unnerved it is absolutely necessa-
ry that scientific principles should be brought to
the aid of Nature in order to avert the contrac-
ton of those diseases that usually become seated
and fixed from the continuous changes referred
to- Of all the discoveries yet made, none seem
to answer the purpose so well as BAKERS BIT
TERS, for while other remedies have been tried
and failed, this medicine has proved to be the
only panacea for Dyspepsia, Nervousness, Cen
eral Debility, Collie, Sour Stomachs, Colds, and
Consumption in its incipient stages. Prepared
solely of vegetable extracts and so admirably
compounded as to act at once upon the Liver.
Digestive organs, Blood, and Mind, it drives out
Impurities, increases the Appetite, improves the
Digestion, strengthens the Lungs, and so tones
up the inner man as to render it imperviOus to
ordinary colds. AS family medicine, it has no
equal, and needs only to be tried to recommend
itself.

and ON occasions were seriously and
hostilely antagonized by Austria, Great
Britain and the France of the Bourbons.
Together, long before that, they had
been partners in the partition Of the
Kingdom Of Poland On the Eastern
Question, so-called, there is less feeling
in Prussia adverse TO Russia than any
other great power Austria can never
consent that Russia should hold the
mouth of the Danube, which river flows
through her dominions. She will never
agree to permit Russia to possess Con-
stantinople. England and France. for
different reasons, hold the same views.
The present King of Prussia was anx-
ious in the Crimean war, to have aided
Russia against France and England, al
though such procedure would have
brought Austria as principal party
into the strife. The course pursued by
Austria in that war was exceedingly
offensive to Russia, which had, but
a few years before, saved the Empire
from destruction when it was threatened
by the Hungarians. 1t was considered
by the Emperor Nicholas as a case OF
black ingratitude. Ever since Russia
has been as hostile to Austria as she has
been warm to Prussia. In the contest
of 1866, between Austria and Prussia, 1t
was generally understood that if France
came to the relief of Austria, the Car
would march his leglons to the aid of
Prussia. Prussia, by having her German
and French ambition gratifed by Russia,
may be willing to pay the former by the
overthrowal of the Turkish Empire, and
the establishment of the Russian cross
over the dome of Sc. Sophia, at Constan-
tinople.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.l
The town of Lagrange, in Oldham
county, thirty miles from this city, wa'
all agog yesterday over the news tina
cold had been discovered about foul
miles from that place, in the suburbs o
the village of Ballardsville, Late in tbs
afternoon two Hell-knoWn and reliable
gentlemen arrived in this city bringing
this important news 10 the owner OF the
farm and confirming the report. II
seems that about year ago Mr.. II. il.
Neal, of this city, bought piece of land
containing fifty acres, in the vicinity Of
Bsllardsyille, paying for the game the
sum Of $4,000 Subsequently abandon
ing the scheme which induced him to
make the purchase. Mr.. Neal offered it
for sale at the cost price, and it had been
on the market tor some time. Last
spring parties came to him for permis-
sion to quarry rock in woodland por-
ton of this tract. Permission was
granted, and the rock, large quantities Of
which were removed, was used in
constructing turnpike in the vicinity.
The workmen had several times re-
marked on an unusual vein Of yelloBish
matter that was found in the rock, but
the thought that it was any thing Of
value never entered their minds.
Very recently, however, this was ex-
amined carefully by scientific person
and found to be gold. Gold nothing
less than the precious, pure. yellow metal
itself This discovery was made about
three or four days ago, and it seems the
workmen have been endeavoring to keep
the secret within their own little circle
But it leaked out Bit by bit, till pres
emily the news went flying like wild6re
throughout the neighborhood and county
that a rich gold mine had been discoy-
cred in their very midst. As q conse-
qu.nce the people Aocked to the vicinity
in m,,ltitudes. A field of oats which oc.
cupied a part of the farm, but which was
rented and cultivated by Colonel John
Fible. was oyeTun by the mad multitude
and totally destroyed. In some places Of
it they are now digging, and the field
that the other day was one dense cloud
of waving grain is now jagged and
