Letter From the "Corncrs." /"
JASPER Mu.Ls. Aug. 20. 1877

JASPER MILLS, Aug. 90, 1871.
EDITORS MISUNDERSTANDING heen good
while since l have seen anything from our
old correspondent Bascom, and feeling that
some one ought to report the condition of
things in this vicinity, will undertake to
give few items that may be of interest to
the readers of the HERATD:
Our little village has been quiet, with
some little EXCEPTIONS and things have
boen running along quite smoothly until
last evening, when load was made up
down among the inhabitcnts of GAIA, to go
to the Beer Garden near Washington. Some
misunderstanding took place between a
Dutch blacksmith of GAIA, by the name of
Matthias Besch, and young man by the
name Carlisle. The Dutchman got his
head badly bruised, while Carlisle received
no injury at all. However, the thing caus-
cd but little excitement, as the better citi-
zens here expect no good things from GAIA.
Some little excitement is manifest here
on account Of the new directions things are

The EAir.

Our Agricultural Fair closed on Saturday
evening last. The show of cattle and hogs
was the best we think that has ever been
on the grounds. There were also some
pretty fine horses on exhibition, and few
fine sheep, but the cattle and hogs attract
whether a finer. if as fine a show of this
kind be had in any other county in the
State. Among the cattle were the herds
of Thomas Kirk, Jesse Heagler, Morgan
Hays, and J. NJ. Hay1naker, of this county,
and the herd of Mr.. II. H. Hankins, Of
Clinton county. These cattle were Of fine
blood and attracted great attention as they
made the grand round in the ring.
The pens contained great variety of
breeds of hogs, of superior quality, but we
are not prepared to notice them particular
ly, nor to name the exhibitors.
The ladies had fair showing of their
domestic skill on exhibition. The fruit and
flower departments were not very largely
represented.
There was an immense crowd of people
on the grounds on Thursday, and 1t was ex-
pected that the attendance on Friday, the
last day of the exhibition, as usual, would
have been much larger than on Thursday
But it rained all day, consequently there
was no public exhibition on Friday, but the
Fair was continued on Saturday, when
there was pretty good attendance, but il
was far short of what it would have been
on Fridry, if the weather had continued
fair, This it is thought diminished the
receipts of thc..Fair 81 COO
The territory added to the grounds since
last year. and the enlargement of the ring
made it much more convenient and com
Portable, and if the Fair was not financially as
great success as was anticipated Con ac
count of the bad weather on Friday,) itwa
a success in every other respect.

New HaV Rake.

Mr. John Mccoy, of North Union town
ship, Ross county, had, on exhibition at our
Fair, a new hay rake, which, we should
think, was an excellent assistant in collect
ing hay for the stack. 1t is about fifteen
feet long, in two sections; horseis hitch
ed to each end and the hay raked up from
swath and taken to the stack on the rake
when one horse is taken from the rake and
the other pulls the rake from under the
hay, leaving it in good condition to be pitch
ed to the stack. The rake will probably
take on one thousand pounds of hay at +:
time, and it may be more than that guam
titY.

We find the following merited compli-

'HOn. NJ. j. Williams, who so faithfully
represented Fayette county in the last Leg
iSlature, was unanimously renominated by
the Republican primary election in that
county, on Saturday last. We are glad tc
know that Mr.. Williams will go back to his
seat in the Legislature, as he was too valu
able a member to lose the services of il

Gen. Kirby announced the next proceeding
supper; and the easy task of tightening

The first regular toast, "Our Country
was responded to by Gen. n. Schleich, of
Lancaster, O., who spoke as follows:

Feather wreath.

Our attention was attracted to most ex-
quisitely wrought Feather Wreath, on ex-
hibition at our County Fair last week, it is
the result of the rare taste and skill Of Mrs.
Albert Sellers, who resides two miles
north west from this town.
To produce this specimen of beauty and
ingenuity great amount of patient indus
try must have been exercised. The frs
premium awarded it was not in proportion
to its real merits. Those who failed to SCI
it missed seeing one of the best specimen.

be reconciled; that between them has ex-
listed in all history and time, and ever will
exist war of determination, which can
end only in the total destruction of the one
of the other. 1t must ever be the friend
of the people, and fight their battles against
the encroachmentS of power, monopoly
and oppression, because its usefulness and
very life depends upon disseminating its is
sues to the greatest number and enthusing
the hearts and convincing the understand
mgs of the masses, who compose the great
body of the nation. If these be facts, and
if such is the mission of the press under
our Constitution, its loyalty is assured: be-
cause its freedom, which alone secures its
usefulness, is at once endangered, if not
indeed stricken down, the momentit is un-
faithful to the Constitution which guaran-
tees its life. But how fully and yiYidly do
we, the citizen Soldiery Of our country, here
to night in our reunion, as we recall the in
cidentS of the camp and bivouac, appreci-
ate this glorious mission of a free Press.
The newspapers from home, as we read
them by the camp fires, filled with deep,
earest appeals to maintain, protect and de-
fend the Constitution of our country and
the union of the States; with genuine sym
pathy for the hartlships and suiIerings en-
dured in the discharge of our duty: with
cOlUidI anu HsdIly appfO DaJlOn OF our OeeuS
Of vilor; with kindly greetings and heart
felt prayers from loved ones at home, ah!
how they moistened the eyes; nerved the
arm; inspired the heart; strengthened the
patriotism; renewed the courage, and made
us feel that here indeed, we had friend
and a conservator of public liberty, in whose
keeping the destines of our country were
safe
Comrades, fellow citizens: Cherish, en-
courage and support the free press of Amer
lea. Guard well its independence. Keep
open.its columns for full discussion; for il
this lies the preservation of the hbertie:
of a free people.
