The American Institute Fair.

The annual fairs Of the American In
stitute seem now likely 10 be as regularly
held at the Empire Rink, Third Avenue.
New York, rs they were in old times at
Castle Garden. That is, they will be
held there until the Institute erects n
building for n perpetual Industrial Ex-
hibition, for be Il known that the direc-
tors have such n plan under considera-
ton, and although il can only be carried
out at an estimated cost of s., 600, 900,
the project seems 10 be in fair way of
realization. While this perpetual exhi-
bition is assuming definite shape and
approaching accomplishment they are
contented TO accommodate themselves
with the Rink, which is each year en-
larQed for their accommodation. The
original interior area Of this building
was 81, $50 square feet To this 9,720
square feet were added in 1869, and n
similar amount in 1870; and at least
1900 square feet Of floor and gallery
have been added this year, to meet the
increased demand for space. This last
increase has been made by extending
the building up TO Third Avenue, which
involved the erection Of q wooden adj
dition los feet deep by AZ wide, forming
n spacious entrance and providing room
for a suite Of offices and dining-room
on the lground floor, with an extensive
art gallery on the second floor.

persons engaged in the affair. They
tied gag in his mouth, to prevent him

curely behind him. The limb to which
he was hanged was more elastic than was
supposed, for it appears that when sus-
pended his feet touched the ground. In

Now AND THEN The Chamber ~ iqy-S
clli,ws Jomaai speaks Of the great change
produced in the morlls Of farmers by
the introduction of agricultural machines.
Under the old system Of hand labor.
harvest time was q season Of feeding and
swilling from morning to night. The
farm kitchen was converted into place
not unlike the tap room OF n public
house and when extra rnpidity Of werk
was required tho usual way Of obtaining
il was 30 supply the laborcrs with almost
unlimited quantities Of food and drink.
Pitches Of bacon, cask after cRsk OF ale
aud cider we're brought out and disap-
peared with most remarkable celerity.
As the result, harvest time was the time
Of drunkenness, and consequently-for
Doors cannot drink without becoming
brutes-fighting, accidents, and immo-
rality were the order Of the day Inebri-
ated reapers armed with Sickles would
assault each other, and bloody battles
would cnsue or they would tumble of
ladders and corn stacks, and roll inglori-
ously under wagon wheels-proceedings
which not at all make one believe in the
poetic myth Of the respers merrily sing
ing harvest home" The introduction
Of machinery ON the farm has largely
done away with this. and in lieu Of the
me-honoIed bacon and beer, lhborers
receive full equivalent in wages, and
thus the machine becomes a great moral
engine.
