- Our Agricultural Fair commences on
Tuesday next We should do injustice to
the managers of this institution if we failed
to say that they are doing all in their power
to make this the best and most pleasant
Agricultural Fair ever held in this county;
and we hear that the people throughout the
county are making their arrangements to
be on hand, and have regular agricultural
camp meeting. We expect that everybody
will have something there, nicer and better
than anybody else's to show at this Agri-
cultural gala day. The young folks will
all be there, and we will not be accounta-
bic for the many love matches that may be
made on that occasion; for that little arch
er, Cupid, will be there with his bow and
arrows ready to victimise and carry off as
his prize, some blooming maid, and to melt
the heart of some genial youth in panta-
looms. But we must forbear, for we fear
we shall grow eloquent on this subject, and
will close by saying, come everybody!
come ALL
- The reunion of the 9Oth o. V. / will
be held here on the 23d inst, the second
day of our County Fair. 1t will undoubt-
ly be a pleasant time for the boys, who SO
gallantly defended our country in the strug-
gle against rebellion. Whilst it will be a
joyous meeeing, there will be some sad re-
Elections, as the roll is called, and the re-
sponse is made, ''He is dead" Perhaps
more have died from wounds and exposure
in the field and the march, and from natu-
raj causes since the regiment was disband-
ed than fell victims to rebel bullets, on
the bloody field. 1t is well, however, for
the living to meet occasionally, and mingle
their sympathies, and talk over with each
other the trials and the pleasures of camp
and field life, and call up afresh the scenes
that tried their patriotism and their noble
manhood.
= A coIored barbar named George Lee,
hired horse and buggy of John Paul last
Monday evening, and, being drunk he drove
the horse harder than he ought to, and
John stopped him on Court street and or
dered him to get out He refused, and John
says he then went to the side of the buggy
to pull him out, when Lee jumped upon
him, and both fell, Lee striking his head Vi
olently on pile of stones, cutting deep
hole in his head, and seriously injuring
him. 1t was at first thought the wound
might prove fatal, but he seems to be do
ing well at present. Lee says Paul hit him
with stone or slung-shot.
- DR. E. Backenstoe advertises in an
other column that his grand museum and
menagrie will be on exhibition at the Fair
Ground during the Fair next week, when
rall can have an opportunity of seeing the
largest collection of animals, birds, reptiles,
curtosities, and wonders, now travelling

EDS. HERALD=As the season for fevers
and diseases of almost every conceivable
character is rapidly approaching, would it
not be advisable for our town authorities to
turn their attention to the condition of the
streets, alleys, vaults, &C., of our village.
Filth and decayed vegetation are mighty
generators of malaria. And that an "ounce
of preventive is worth pound of cure" is
true, though trite. Cut down your weeds;
clean up your yards and alleys; disinfect
your vaults, and prepared for any emergen-

Lookout for scoundrels, who are travers-
ing various counties Of Ohio, offering shoes,
clothes, and other goods, for low price.
Have nothing to do with any of them, un-
less you want to be beautifully swindIed.
Patronize reliable home merchants; that is
the only safe and true plan.
The rains in the last two weeks have ex-
act1y filled the biT'' All vegetation has
been wonderfully benefited. Even the
wells, some of them at least have been
supplied.
Of the present prospect of the corn crop
the Times says: Corn throughout the
county, and this part of the country, is su-
perior to anything remembered, even by
the aged.
ROSS COUNTY.
The following items are from the Chilli
cothe Gazette of last week:
The corn crop has been greatly injured
by the protracted and unusual drouth of
the past few weeks.
Farmers from this county report the
earth as being drier than it has been for
twenty years.
Scioto county has raised all her appor-
tionment of the subscription to the Scioto
Valley railroad and $500 over. Ross coun-
ty, we hope, will not be far behind.
The friends of Gen. Jas. Rowe will be
sorry to hear that he is failing in health.
He has been man of great energy and
vigor of constitution.
There IS a law in the statutes of Ohio, au-
thorizing the establishing ofwatering places
along the public highways, by the town
ship trustees. Do our trustees pay any at

We would like to know how many water,

erous pixies in Fayette county?
The following items are from the Chilli

Joseph Collens, of Deerfeld township,
has white steer, five years old, which

Mr. Vangundy, who fell from the cliff at

1t was reported couple of weeks since
that Judge Stafford intended to resign and
go to Columbus and engage in the practice

What whisky does. The Wilmington
Journal says the quietness of Saturday eve
ming was disturbed about IL O'Clock, by an
unknown man rushing from saloon in the
southern part of town, and crying at the
top of his voice, murder! People in the vi
cinity, who had not retired, hastened to the
scene to find that the stranger had been
indulging i'll liquor, and for some offense
was receiving punishment at the hands of
the saloon-keeper. No arrests were made.
