stock of swine in this county is fair, and
equal TO the average throughout the State.
To some extent, it is safe 70 say, very supe
rior specimens, and OF best breeds, may be
found, but in the aggregate we have reason
to think the breeding and rearing Of choice
and valuable varieties have not received
such attention and special care among our
farmers as it needed, or as could be made
profitable. The Society would be glad to

in this County can easily make a very cred
liable display. This section Of country is
probably not peculiarly adapted to raising
apples, pears, peaches, and some other well
known kinds Of fruit, yet the increasing
number Of orchards, AAd the labor and care
bestowed upon fruit culture, furnish evil
deuce both of a strong desire 20 raise e
supply of fruit and of a reasonable degree
Of success, sufficient az least 10 afford proper
encouragement to increased efforts in this
direction. The Society will very oheerfuily
cooperate as far it can to create a favorable
impression in behalf of this valuable branch
of industry.

The usual premiums in this line have
been generally increased, and it will be
observed that most Of the special premium ms
generously placed at our disposal by Manu-
fscturers and Exhibitors have been offered
under these heads. II there seems to be q
proper appreciation Of this arrangement,
and the result should be q corresponding
effort on the part of Agriculturists TO achieve
success in their own special line, the Society
will regard j, as a promising indication Of

With pleasure the Society states the fact
that these d apartments have heretofore been
always well represented, and from the known
liberality aud commendable enterprise OF
our manufacturers and dealers, we have no
approximations Of any failure herein on the
part Of exhibitors a. the coming Fair. The
opportunity for seeing articles of the highest
workmanship and best mechanical skill il
one that no person should neglect, and 9
better opportunity is rarely offered than will
be presented at the Fair. The number and
variety of articles manufactures In this

Of the State, and are rapidly increasing. We

Our Correspondence from Paris.

We publish in another part of the HERALD
this morning budget of interesting letters
from our correspondents in the city of Paris
The letters treat on the events which occurred
on the 18th Of March-that dreadful day when
the insurgents, following their own bloody
instincts, committed the outrages which have
since then rendered them execrable in the
minds Of all peace, law and order-loving men.
The murders Of Generals Lecomte and
Thomas, the indignities offered to General
Chanzy, the fierce and brutal cries for the
heads Of Theirs and of Favre, the killing of
innocent persons regardless Of age, condition
or sex, the opening Of the gates of. the
prisons and the liberation Of the criminals
confined therein, and the reign of terror which
prevails throughout the capital Of France, are
occurrences which for years to come will stain
the reputation Of this grand city, which had
il in its power to become grander. greater and
more glorious than ever until the instruction
which now deals death and destruction with
lavish hand destroyed all chance of such
position being realized. Our letters from
Paris give details Of events down to the latest
mails, aud contain much that will interest the
readers of the HERALD on this side of the
Atlantic

THE DEBATE IN TIE SENATE yesterday on
the Ku Klux bill was about as animated as it
is possible for debate to become on 80 well
worn subject. Mr.. Morton arraigned the
democratic Legislatures North, notably the
New York Legislature, as being worse than
black and tan carpet-bag Legislatures South,
and instanced Tammany, the controller Of the
democratic party throughout the country, as a
specimen Of the .unfathomablc corruption of
the party in general. AT this Nj. Casserly,
q prominent democratic Senator from Cali
fornia, rose up and said in Defence not that
Tammany was not corrupt, but that he was
astonished to hear any one say seriously that
Tammany was the controlling democratic
party Of the country. Here's ruct:on! Is
Tammany the democratic Tycoon Of the
Western Continent or not? She made the
Western men and the Pendleton guards think
so In 1868, when she nominated Seymour;
but are they rebelling now? Let Casscrly
be read out at once

Marshal Niue Mahon and the Soldiers Of tho
Empire.
The republican government Of France has
done well by appointing Marshal MacMahon
Commander-in-Chi of the French forces.
This Is wise proceeding on the part of the
Theirs government, and will, we think,
strengthen it considerably. Within short
soldiers of the empire, who were taken
prisoners by the Germans, will ell be returned
to France. They have learned obedience to
law, are disciplined, and know that their
services belong to the government of France,
irrespective of its complexion. Whether that
government be republican or imperial, it is all
the same to them. Their duty is the soldiers
dnty, and that is obedience to the established
government of the. nation. WIN leader
such as Marshal MacMabon as their CON-
mander-in-chief they would have every conf
dence In the future, and would serve the
republic with the same zeal with which they
devoted themselves to the empire. With the
French people, moreover, the Duke Of Magenta
is popular, and the appointment of the brave
old soldier to the position he now occupies is
one which cannot fail to give satisfaction
throughout the whole extent of the French
nation. He issued from the late disastrous
campaign with character as stainless as that
with which he entered 1t, and this fact Is not
forgotten. The elevation of Marshal MacMahon
we regard favorably, and it will prove an ac-
QUESTION Of strength to the French republic.
