Addison County Fair.

The officers of the County Society orc
making efforts to mako the coming fair
on the Goth, 9th and 2sth, the best for
many years, and they confidently look to
the farmers as well as all others to lend
them every encouragement and support
in so doing.
We already have assurances of a very
extensive show Of cattle Of the different
breeds, and also of horses, and now the
sheep business seems once more to be re-
viving, and on paying basis we expect
oil who have good sheep will take this oc.
casion to advertise the fact to the public,
and thus secure the attention of all at the
outset of the revival Of this important
branch Of stock raising. There was prob.
ably never time when lack of extraordi.
nary fitting and fattening was so likely to
be overlooked and sheep to stand on their
own true merits as this fall, therefore we
expect to see large show Of excellent
sheep. In all other branches we expect
to see very full show, and hope all will
feel the importance of sustaining the So
ciety by contributions Of all kinds. We
trust any one who has animals, fruits,
vegetables or other articles of sufficient
merits to be of interest, and assist in
making up an instructive and interesting
show, will at once decide to exhibit them
without stopping to ask themselves wheth-
er some one else may have better, but
In truly liberal spirit contribute such as
they may have to make the coming fair
q success as we'll as an honor to old AID.

Caution-Patent MiIk.Pans.

Eds. Country Gentleman-We hear
frequent complaints about frauds and
cheats on the part of vendors and others
interested in patents, and in view of the
actual results Of their operations it is
hardly TO be wondered at. Farmers are
oftener the victims of such frauds than
Others, perhaps, partly, because there are
moro Of them, but more frequently, no
doubt, because they have taken less pains
TO inform themselves in regard to their
own rights and those established or con-
6rmed to others by letters patent held by
them. 1t does not necessarily follow be-
cause party has patent for an alleged
invention, that it is valid, and that he
has . right to 60 about the country levy
Ing . tax upon every farmer who is using
his "invention," and threatening him with
prosecution. 1t is said by men we'll in
formed in such matters, that but small
percentage Of all the patents granted in
this country will stand the test Of trial
in the courts, and yet sharp men contrive
70 got more or less money out Of them.
One Of the most frequent courses pursued
by these sharpers is to secure a patent,
perhaps valid, for some Insignificant and
not infrequently utterly useless appendage
or appliance to an old apparatus, and then
set up claim to the whole thing to the
exclusive use Of which they have no more
right than TO the light Of the sun. One
Of the oldest and most expert of these
sharpsrs once remarked in our hearing
that he never inquired into the value OF
validity Of = patent, before taking hold
oft, nor did he care anything about that
The only question was, I" is it one from
which money may be got?"
A case has recently come to our know

public against the claims set up by thi
particular party that We write at thi

Abingdon, March 30th. 1871.

OK Monday last the New York Iritune
completed its thirtieth year. The occa-
sion is made by its editor the subject of a
retrospective article, from which we learn
that it was originally small folio sheet,
and that about twenty persons were en-
ployed in its publication at a cost of about
$525 per week. 1t isnow as large as any
paper published, employs from four to FIVE
hundred persons. and costs nearly S20,-
600 every week. Each issue contains
matter enough to make a duodecimo vol
ume of fair size, such as is usually sold at
one dollar and a quarter. The present
editor of the T'ribunc was its original pro-
prietor, and is still its chief editor, though
only part proprietor. OF those who aid
ed in the first. issue of the paper, only two
are known to be still living, and they are
also still employed in the Office. This is
the historical part of the article in the
Tribune, and unconsciously, perhaps, is a
very high compliment to the ability of the
distinguished gentleman who has so long
been its chief.

Women and Wine.

A writer in Scribner's Monthly uses
the following strong language, which will
be responded to by the women who have
suffered all over the land:
OF the worst foes that woman has ever
had to encounter wine stands at the head
The appetite for strong drink in man has
spoiled the lives of more women and ruin :
ed more hopes for them, scattered more
fortunes for them, brought to them more
shame, sorrow and hardship than any other
evil of their lives. The country numbers
tens Cf thousands-Day, hundreds of thou
sands-of women VINO are widows to-day,
and sit in hopeless weeds because their
husbands have been slain by strong drink.
There are hundreds of thousands of homes
scattered all over the land, in which wo-
men live lives of torture, going through
all the changes of suffering that lie be-
tween the extremes of fear and despair,
because those whom they love, love wine
better than they do the women they have
sworn to love.
There are women by the usands who
dread to hear at the door the step that
once thrilled them with pleasure, because
that step has learned to reel under the in
fuence of the seductive poison. There are
women groaning with pain while we write
these words, from bruises and brutalities
inflicted by husbands made mad with drink.
There can be no exaggeration in any state
ment made in regard to this matter, be-
cause no human imagination can create
anything worse than the truth, and no pen
is capable of portraying the truth. The
sorrows and horrows Of wife with a
drunken husband, or mother with a
drunken son are IS near the realization OF
,hell as can be reached in this world. at
least. The shame, the Indignation, the
sense of disgrace for herself and ber child
rem, the poverty and not unfrequently the
beggary. the fear and the fact of violence,
the lingering. lifelong struggle and de-
spair of countless women with drunken
husbands. are enough to MAKE allwomen

Be frank with the world. Frankness
is the child of honesty and courage. Say
what you mean to do on every occasion,
and take it for granted that you mean to
do just what is right. If a friend ask you
favor, you should grant it. if it is sreasona-
BILE if it is not, tell him plainly why you
cannot You will wrong him and wrong
yourself by equivocation of any kind.
Never do a wrong thing to make friend
or keep one; the man who requires you to
do so is dearly purchased, and at a sacri-
fee. Deal kindly and firmly with all men,
and you will find it the policy which wears
the best. Above all, do not appear to
others what you are not. If you have any
fault 20 find with any one, tell him, not
others, of what you complain. There is
no more dangerous experiment than that
of undertaking to do one thing to mans
face and arother behind his back. We
should live. act and speak out of doors, as
the phrase is. and say and do what we are
willing should be known by all men. 1t
is not only best as matter of principle,
but as matter of policy.

Early Influence.

There can be no greater blessing than
to be borne in cheerful, loving home. 1t

almost makes sure a virtuous and happy

the proverty, faulty tempers, or wrong
notions of parents, without a heart-ache.
Not that all the appliances wealth can buy
are necessary to the free and happy un-
folding of childhood in body or heart
quite otherwise, heaven be thanked. But
children must at least have love in the
house, and flesh air and good play, and
some good companionship out of it. other

prematurely old and turned inward on it.
