The Mert Fan.-The Directors of
the Agricultural Society have revised
the list Of premiums for the coming ex
hibitiou, which takes place on the 3rd,
4th, 9th aud 9Th of October, aud they
will be ready for delivery about the
middle of the present month The
Society have introduced a new feature
in the premiums large number of
valuable agricultural papers aud maya.
zines are offered, though it is left EN-
tirely with the persons who receive
premiums whether they take them or
the money. They also offer several of
the leading magazines as premiums in
the Ladies Department. Our people
should do all in their power to make
this fair great success. Let all, far
mere, merchapts, manufacturers and
mechanics, begin at once to prepare for
it. We believe the Society has been
of great benefit both to our city and
county; it creates rivalry between our
agriculturists, and causes all to exert
themselves to the utmost. Ia the
Ladies Department we hope there will
be larger display than at either of the
proceeding fairs. Persons who desire
to obtain copy of the Premium List
can do SO by calling on either of the
Directors, or at the Office Of the Secre-
tary. As soon as the lists Of Judges
for each department are filed, We will
publish them.

Fine Caaie.--We learn that Mr..
William Reese, Of this city, has pur-
chased Of Mr.. J..H. Clemson, residing
near McKinstry's Mills, an English
Suffolk COW and calf, for which he paid
$3.50; Mr.. Van Bibber, near this city,
has also purchased COW asd calf of the
same breed for s125. This Is good
price to pay for stock, aud selling cattle
at such figures must be profitable bu-
siness. The herd Of Mr.. Clemson was
very much admired at our last Agri-
cultural Fair, aud we hope tha: not only
he but oil others who have fne cattle
will place them on exhibition at the fair
in October.

A fewspights since light was dis
covered Ia the store house Of Mr.. Smith,
of Bloomington, Upton county An
alarm was given, and some parties broke
the door open only TO find the place IN
total darkness. The light had been seen
by several parties and its disappearance
was quite a mystery. The store was
searched but no one could be found,
although it was evident some person had
been plunderingi tlof goods, wares and
merchandise. One of the party took a
candle and gazed up the chimney, which
was barely large enough to admit the
body of boy. He saw pair OF feet
halfway up. The owner Of the feet re-
fused to answer. Cotton rags and paper
were placed in the crate and fired, but
the chimney-climber only moved up
until his head appeared on the outside.
He would not come out until he had re-
ceived several blows on the head with
brickbats which had been thrown at
him. On surrendering he proved to be
little old negro who resided in the vii
lage, but was never suspected Of bur
glary or robbery. He was sent 70 Jail to
await trial before the Circuit Court.

The decline in the river continues at

airy, and at St. Louis a rise is reported.
The upper Missouri and Illinois, as well
as the Mississippi, are rising slowly,
but with every prospect just now of an
improvement in the channel depth even
to this point. The Ohio is falling as far
up as Cincinnati, but is rising steadily
at Pittsburg. White river and the Ar

inches to Little Rock in the latter, and
four feet to Deyall's Bluff in the former.

Fashion Notes.


The thinnest dresses are in order
Tasteful and inexpensive toilettes Of
organdy muslips are gotten up in great
perfection. Organizes cannot stand
washing, but II dampened and ironed,
look well all the season. The widest
liberty is allowed in their trimmings.
The. belted polouaise or close-ftting
marguerite, with high white linen lining,
halfhowing sleeves and demi-train with
many ruilles is the style Of make. A
becoming dress to blondes is pale
green organdy trimmed with tarlatan
puffs of oak color. An exquisite and
tasteful dress is Of ciel blue. Organizes,
with white ground and black figures, are
pretty. For young girls the white Vic
toria lawn dresses revive the old-time sim
plieity of white muslins. Very stylish
toilettes are made of old-fashioned ba-
rege, and Of grenadine of the darkest
brown shades. A widows suit is made
of smooth, small meshed grenadine,
with:alternate scant rufiles Of the mate
rial and English Grape. The corsage
and skirt of dresses are of striped fabric,
with sleeves and oyerskirt Of. solid color.
Basques are made of a material quite
different from the rest of the costume.
Evening dresses are made with bodies
in contrast with the color Of the skirt.
The basques are cut square and open in
front. Delaine dresses are of the latest
importations. They are for travelling,
sea-shore, aud early fall. .adsf I'd
