Press that q silver bat is to be awarded
on this plan at the Mechanicsville Fair,
any amateur club in the State being
eligible to compete for it. There are
clubs enough in Cedar county alone to

enough between them to bring them to-

COUNTY FAIR.-The tenth annual
Fair of Cedar County Agricultural Soci,
ETY., to be held at the Fair Grounds. near
Upton, commencing on Tuesday, Aug.
ust Goth, and continuing to include FRI
day, Sept. LIST, 1871, makes every pro-
mise Of being the best Fair ever held in
this county.
At that time Of year we may reascna-
bly, expect immunity from the rains that
have 30 sadly interfered with the sue
cess of the last two fairs, held a month
later, and while some agricultural pro-
duets may be too late to be shown then,
with this very early season there is ev.
cry reason to believe that in no depart
ment need the display be Inferior to
othe. years.
The officers Of the Society have been
and are doing all in their power to for.
ward the success of the organization in
general and that of the next Fair in par
ticular. The management Of the Fair
has always been square and liberal to
exhibitors, and the s. 900 offered in pre-
miums the present season does not exist
alone on the show bills and in the imag.
ination, but may be found in the pre-
MUM list, and will be promptly paid to
the fortunate CONF etitors.
The condition of the grounds and the
character of the buildings has been
much improved, and this fall, the con-
venience and pleasantness Of the rounds
in general, the excellence OF the track,
the commodiousness and elegance of the
halls and ampitheatre will be second to

A Few Words to tho Ladies.

Many ladies. particularly mothers
nursing, complain Of tired, listless
feeling, or complete exhaustion, on
arising in the morning. On the wife
and mother devolves the responsibility
Of regulating the duties OF the house
hold. Her cares are nmerOus, and the
mental as well rs the physical powers
are frequently called into requisition.
She often finds her slightest occupation
a weary task and existence q burden,
while at tho same time she has no
regular disease. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, if resorted to at this period, will
prove an unfailing remedy for this an
noying lassitude. The effects Of this
potent agent are soon seen in the rosy
cheek aud elastic step of the h cad of the
family, rs with restored health and
renewed spirits she takes her accustom-
ed place in the family circle. If this
friend in need be regularly used those
depressing symptoms will never be
complained Of and not only would las
situde not be experienced, but many
diseases following its advent be avoided.
As medical agent it has no equal,
while its pleasing flavor and healthful
effects have made it general favorite.
1t is free from all properties calculated
to impair the system, and its operations
are at once mild, soothing and efficient.
A II who have used the Ritters attest it's
virtues and commend it to use. 26w4

Speaking of the disgracful New York
riot, the Chicago Post says of the riot
ers:
The more they succeed in narrowing
the Orange procession, and destroying
the property Of the Harrers on account
Of Nast's anti papal and Irish cartoons,
the worse will be their day of reckon
ing. 1t is not the Irish, as such, that
are Oh trial on the streets of New York
To-day, nor Catholics generally, nor
Democrats at large, but the most
vicious, ignorant, bigoted, and ferocious
Irish Catholic Democrats; and such
will be held responsible for the result.
A year ago the New York World and
every other Democratic paper, North as
we'll as South, were in full cry against
tie amendments to the Constitution
and the laws enacted to enforce them,
as revolutionary, null and void, and to
be trampled under foot.-The World
over and over again proclaimed the
determination of the Democratic party,
when in power, to nullify all these
measures. They will undoubtedly carry
out this threat should they ever regain
possession Of the Government. But the
World and its satellites have found it
necessary to pipe another tune, and are
now zealously engaged in attempting to
convince the people that they will
execute the reconstruction measures of
Congress. and administer the Govern
ment more honestly and vigorously
than Republican administration.
Will the people be humbugged by these
death bed professionally nat Neu
