The STATE FAIR.-We have letter

that we cannot publish it entire. The
following paragraphs will give some idea
of the State fair recently held at that

arriculturis IS from the East and South,
unnhesitatingly declared that they never
before saw such beautiful and perfect
specimens of grapes, beets, turnips, cab
bages, apples, wheat, onit' t'us' and potatoes
The idea which has so lons' been preva.
lent in New England-that tn, climate OF d
Minnesota was unfavorable to the full
perfection of fruit and vegetables, Sas at
last been thoroughly exploded and i:u-
mense loads of the amount here on exhibit
tion and now being taken to New York
City, TO be displayed at the Fair OF the
American Institute.
"Never before, has Fair in this
State been such complete and magnid-
cent success Some days there were over
twenty thousand people on the grounds ;
which We consider an indication of enter
prise and prosperity, of which our young
State has reason to feel proud. "--St.

WM IL, SEwARD-Born in Florida,
n. Y, Oct.10, 1872. Mr., Seward
graduated at Union College IN. " in
1922; was member of the New York
Senate for four years from $780, nomin-
ated as the Whig candidate for Governor
in 1884, aud was defeated, but was again
nominated and elected in 1888, aud held
the office four years. In lS49 he was
elected United States Senator, and held
the Office until March, 1851. waen he
became Secretary Of State, and remained
in that position until March 1869. Since
that date he made voyage round the
world, visiting most Of the great nations
with which he received the highest honors
ever accorded to public men. He was
one of the intended victims of the assas
sination plot at Washington, April IA, 1863
and barely escaped death. He never fully
recovered from the'wounds and shock oi
that terrible scene. Mr.. Seward was
an able and ambitious man. lie esteemed
himself worthy of the highest office il
the nation. and was disappointed by th'
success Of Lincoln; yet in the cabinet o
the latter he was one of the principal fig
ures, and he will be honorable remember
ed for his nublic services.

The LIGHTNING On THE CREST OF THE
Rocky MouNTAINs.-Gray's peak is the
home of the thunder. The lightning
knows it as the eagle knows his nest.
Being the highest OF all peaks of the Sier-
re, it attracts the clouds, which almost
daily gather round its head aud burst
upon II, so that it sometimes tries the
nerves of the boldest to run the gauntlet
OF these storms. At such times the whole
mountain scenes charged with electricity.
Several who have been caught there at
such moment told ne how it shot
through them ike needles; it buzzed
about their heads like bees; they could
hear it whistliog like gale through the
rigging Of ship. The guides, being
more accustomed to such things, are less
terrified, but tourists are sometimes pare
lyzed with terror if not with the shock,
and fall to the ground, unable TO move
Even the guides sometimes think it a
matter Of prudence to throw themselves
fiat upon their faces, not to present point
for the lightning to strike. The poor
brutes, taught by dumb instinct, turn
heads from the storm and let it beat. Ii
party were caught on the summit in
long snow storm, it is probable that they
would perish. In the binding drifts, it
would be impossible to find the path, and
no mortal strength could hold out for mar
hours. Such accidents do not occur,
because The guides are on the watch
when they see storm coming up, bid
all run for their lives. They fly with
speed, and come down often trembling
and afraid, as if, like Moses, they had
been up into the mount, into the cloud,
and seen the awful power of Goblet
ter of Rec. VI. Field.

The VERMONT SENArE.-Deming, tho

an excellent presiding officer, He has
had experience in the lower House, and
what is better as a school for parliamon-

The Senate is regarded as strong

State and q man of some years. Senator
Carpenter Of Washington county, il
another man Of experience and ability.
Senator Bailey, Of Franklin county, p
younger man, is good lawyer and
ready dcbater. Senator Ballard from the

House and held good position there as

Senator Powers Of Lamoillc county,

the new members, who's eability and inau-
ence will be made apparently as the ses-
sion proceeds. The JourAaI will at least
recognize Senator Bigelow Of Chittenden
county as one Of the editorial profession.
He has long been an active member Of tho
Third House, and as a working, thinking
man, will make u good Senator.

A Coop BUsrLE SroRY.-A mearry
party Of ladies and gentlemen had mar
row escape from terrible death among
the Thousand Islands Of the St. Lawrence
recently, but, as it turned out, they were
saved by the presence Of mind and h9ro-
ism Of one of the ladies. The way OF it
was this: They were out in a yacht at a
atP sa slS hour IN the @ evening when the CLOUD
distinguish objects on the water at a short
distance. They were sailing about
thoughtlessly, aud enjoying themselves
as such parties are in the habit Of doing
when suddenly dark object loomed up
before them, which was evidently large
steamer. A collision seemed inevitable,
unless the steamer could be signaled 10
change her course, as it was impossible
for the sailing craft to do SO. The party
were in terrible dilemma, as,exccpt 4 few
matches, there seemed to be no means at
command to produce light. The young
ladies', except one, screamed with terror,
and fearful catastrophe seemed on the
point of consummaton. A slight rustl-
ing, however, was observed in the dirrec-
ton of the silent young ladey, No one
could see what she was doing, but she soon
handed roll of paper to one Of the gem
tlemen. In moment it was ablaze, the
steamers course was changed, and the
party were saved. When they recover
ed from their fright there was naturally
much speculation as to where that impor
tant roll of paper came from,and it final
ly leaked out that the fair one had hero
ically sacrificed her hustle to secure the
safety OF her companions. The Incl lent
has given rise to a good deal of good-na-
turd gossip, and abundantly proves that
even lady's hustle is not without its
place when occasion requires.
