The areat Northern Obio FaIr,

The attention of our readers is called
TO the advertisement in another column,
of the Northern Ohio Fair, to be held in
the City of Cleveland, onSept. 18th, 18th.
14th, 18th and 10Th. The great success
of the Fair last October was remarkable,
its receipts being larger than that o fany
other ever held in Ohio. By a circular
from the enterprising managers Of the
Fair, we learn that extra preparations
/ have been made to accommodate the
immense crowd that will assemble on
that occasion. The Lake Shore Railroad
Co. has laid a third track from its depot
to the Fair Ground, thus enabling it to
have an endless chain of cars TO move
any number of people. Buildings have
been erected since last year giving 5000
square feet more room for exhibition
purposes. Several acres of grounds have
been purchased and added, making now
a total of 95 acres of grounds enclosed
Dining Rooms are erected sufficient to
feed $4,000 daily. In fact, everything
has been done that last years expert
ence has suggested, to improve the ac-
commodations, and add to the comfort
Of the visitors. a great feature of this
Fair will be the Fine Art Gallery, that
will be opened, containing over $4,000
worth of fine paintings. This Gallery
will be made up of the private collections
of several opulent gentlemen in Cleve-
land Among the paintings that will be
exhibited is Rossiter's celebrated picture
of Lafayette visiting Washington at
Mount Vernon, painted originally for
the Prince of Wales, and some most
elegant ones by Bierstadt. To see the
pictures alone will be well worth the
price of admission. The association has
connected the race course with the Fair
Grounds proper, by an elevated bridge,
thus making one ticket good for both
grounds. The amount Of premiums
offered to be competed for is S25,OOO.-
The amount offered for the best t%rotting
is 5000.
Judging by what we hear and learn,
the Northern Ohio Fair Association will
give the largest exhibition Of the kind
ever seen west of the .Alleghanies, and
we would advise everybody to take his
family or sweetheart, and avail himself
of the half fare arrangement, and visit
this grand exhibition.

The Alliance Local is responsible for

The Alliance Local is responsible for
the following snake story: On last Sat
urday afternoon, q lad whose name we
have forgotten, rambled to the woods
southeast of town, for the purpose o.
hunting blackberries. He was quite
successful, and in a very short time fill
ed his bucket to the brim with the lus.
ciOus fruit. Being wearied with his
walk, he concluded that he would lie
down and take a short rest before he re.
turned to the city. Accordingly he
stretched himself beneath the shade Of 8
large oak, and, ere he was aware, fell
asleep. He had remained thus for per-
haps ten minutes, and was On the point
of raising up, when to his utter astonish-
ment and horror, be discovered a snake
three feet long snugly curled up OF his
bosom. For a while the lad was ideally
struck dumb with terror. He soon re-
covered, however, and with remarkable
presence Of mind, did not jump up and
run, as many boys would have done,
but remained quietly in the same posi-
ton, without moving hand or foot. On
the slightest appearance of a charge, the
snake would rear its head and dart its
forked tongue back and forth like light
ming. The boy every moment expected
to be bitten. Thus the time passed
every minute seemed like an hour to
the unfortunate youth. The situation was
terrible, a fact which he fully realized.
At length, however, after what SEEM
ed an interminable long time, the snake
glided away from its resting place, and
was lost to view. Our hero Immediate
ly got up and made tracks for home,
with a very commendable degree OF
celebrity. He thinks his too init innate
friend was a black snake. We would
caution boys against going to sleep I'M
der oak trees, when they are out hunt
ing berries. 1t is hard to tell how thick
ly the woods may be infested with
poisonous reptiles.

A Family Without a Newspaper.

Nothing presents asadder common
tary upon the present condition of ouI
loved and prosperous country, than
the large number of families, both in
the city and country, but more espec-
tally in the latter, that subscribe to no
paper of any kind. Hun reds and
thousands of families are thus grow
ing up in utter ignorance of what is
TRANSPORTING in the world around them
Ignorant of the mighty events of
the day.
But who can tell the vast amount OF
injury that is being inflicted upon the
rising generation-those who are to
take our places in the busy world at
no distant day-growing up without
knowledge of the present, the past, or
any study of the future, and this ig-
norance, too, being imbued into them
by the sanction of those who should,
and doubtless do know better, did
they only think of the injurious effects
of their insane course. Let the head
of every family think of this, and
place in the hands of those for whom
he is responsible the means of acquir-
ing a thorough knowledge of the NOV
ing panorama in which we enact vi
part.

Boiler Explosion.

A sad casualty occurred at Whitney's
Landing on Chatuaque Lake, six miles
below Maysville, on Monday Of last
week. The steamer Chatauque explo-
ded her boiler while taking on wood.
The dead, so far IS known, are Mrs.
Hopkins and Julia her daughter, of
Westield, New York, the latter for
merly a teacher in Cleveland; Henry
Cook of Cory, Pa; the colored barber
at the Chatauque House; Mrs. Z. C.
Christian Of Buffalo, drowned and body
not recovered. Among the wounded are
Mrs. Dan P. EelIs, and Miss Iduca Eells
of Cleveland; and Mrs. Lizzie Lesrs of
same city. A dispatch in the Cleveland
Herald, Tuesday evening, says that Miss
Iduca, the daughter of Mr., Eells, has
died from injuries received at the explo-
sion. Mrs. Eells and Mrs. Lears, the
nurse, are yet in s critical condition, but
the physicians in attendance upon them
express themselves to be very hopeful
Of their recovery.

The people are now called upon to
again select State and County officers,
in voting for men, the principles and
usages Of the party to which they be-
long, are of the necessity endorsed.
A mental reservation yill amount to
nothing. When then is the effect
and force Of the vote given to sustain
the platforms and practices of the Re
publican and Democratic parties?
Their past position and present are
alike, and agree with each other.
From these we can onlyjudge the fu-
ture.
To continue the Republican party
in power, is to continue the policy SO
well begun in both State and nation
Of maintaining the public credit.
Of paying off our national debt at
an average of over six millions of dol
lars per month.
Of reducing taxation as rapidly as
the requirements of the Government
will allow.
OF setting international difficulties
without bloodshed.
OF advantageously sustaining the
great principles involved in the meas
ures necessarily growing out of the
war.
OF the abolition of slavery, and
maintaining the equal right before
the law, of six millions of American
citizens, formerly slaves.
On the other hand: Restore the
Democratic party to power, and you
destroy the public credit.
You pave the way for reputation.
You bring in the old tide of corrup-
ton.
You invite a repetition of the miss
management and extravaganza Of
their corrupt administrations of 9TH
er days.
You open anew all the questions
involved in the reconstruction of the
Southern States, now settled upon an
honorable basis, and
You.puti in power a party possessed
Of no principle which ever has or can
lead it to respect the rights of men, be
they civil or religious. Its sole idea
ofjustice is derived from the maxim
that Might makes Right.
Intelligent and loyal voters, choose
We, as eonscienc and duty dictate.

Yerdietin the HestfleId Disaster.

NEW YORK, aug 10, loGl.
Coroner Keenan's jury in the West
field case to day rendered the follow
ing verdict : ''That the deceased,
Andrew Coyle and others, died
through the rupture or explosion OF
the boiler of the ferry boat Westfeld,
July 3Oth, 1871 that said explosion or
rupture was caused by a flaw in the
iron and by negligence of the engi-
neer, Robinson, he carrying an over
pressure of steam ; that the compan-
ny are responsible for the disaster, as
the defect could have been detected if
the Staten Island Ferry Company
had had a competent superintendent,
engineer and mechanics in their en-
ploy, and were therefore criminally
negligent. We recommend the Dis
trict Attorney to take prompt action
in the matter. We also think that
the government inspection is very i'm
perfect as now. conducted" There
was one dissent. Mr.. Kirkland, who
believed the flaw could not be discov-
cred by the ordinary method of in
spection. Coroner Keean, after the
verdict, retired to prepare warrants
for the arrest of the president, direc-
tors. and superintendent of the Staten
Island Ferry Company, also for the
arrest of Robinson, the engineer.
Capt. A. Lair, of the First precinct,
to whom have been entrusted the
warrants for their arrest, received in
structions from the Coroner to make
only a formal arrest, and to accept
their promise to appear before the
Coroner at his office at IL A. NJ. to-
morrow.

A LIVE HOME JOURNAL NOTABLE
CHANGE. - Last October, Hearth and
Home passed into the hands of Messrs.
Orange Judd & Co., of 245 Broadway,
n. Y, the well known publishers of the
american AgricultuTiSt-a journal long
without a rival in sterling value and
circulation. The marked improvements
then expected to appear in Hearth and
Home have been fully realized, and it is
now one Of the choicest illustrated jour-
nails anywhere issued for the family cir
cle-adapted to both the juvenile and
adult people, and meeting the special
wants of the housekeeper. Besides, il
supplies very useful chapters for the
garden and farm, and an important NEWS
sheet, giving a valuable resume of the
news for a week, up to the moment Of
issue. From $500 to $500 worth of very
fine e~ngravings beautify each weekly
number. We notice now a still further
mark of enterprise on the part of the
publishers; they have secured the ex-
elusive editorial services of EDwARD
EaGLEsToN, so widely and favorably
known in his writings in ScTi6ner'S
Monthly, and many other magazines and
journals, and especially as the chief SUI
perintending eS'.jr of the NeU York
I~ndepende-; for some time past. With
this notable addition TO the previously

The celestial reporter of the Chicago
Tribune makes the following statement:
There is now a large pear shap ed spot
on that side of the moon which is turned
toward ms. 1t is about 10000 miles in
diameter, which is equal to three quar-
tiers Of a minute of arc; equal to the
angle sustained by thirteen and three
fourths inches at the distance of II
mile from the eye. 1t is a very good test
of vision, through a smoked glass, re-
quiring an eyesight of a little more than
the average penetration to see it without
a magniger. The spot is a little to the
left, and about the same distance below
the apparent center of the solar disc"

Mr.. Mahlon Briggs, a highly respect
ed citizens of New Lisbon received a
telegram on Saturday last, containing
the heart-rending intelligence of the
death Of two of his sons, William and
George Briggs, two grand children, son
and daughter of William Briggs, and a
hired man The brothers resided near
EddyYille, Iowa. The following are the
particulars Of the sad affair, as near as
we can learn: There was an old coal
shaft on the farm of William Briggs,
which he had decided to reopen, and
his son descended into the shaft TO bail
out the water, and was Immediately
suffocated by fire damp. His sister, not
hearing him, also desceded, and met
with the same fate. MI. Briggs coming
to the mine with his brother and hired
man, and not being able to hear his chill
dren, also descended into the shaft, fol-
lowed by the other men, and all were
suffocated; thus making five persons
who found untimely graves in the bowels
of the earth.-BuckeVe Reporter.

What the Democratic party did, and
what it got for doing it, is thus tersely
set forth by a cotemporary:
It supported slavery-and was beaten,
1t countenanced rebellion-and was
beaten.
1t set up a peace-at-any-price platform
and was beaten.
1t advocated repudiation-and was
beaten.
It opposed equal laws and general suf-
