continne during the week. The
number of entries on Monday and

are well laid Oft, embracing some 81
acres, with an elegant circular track
of half mile for racing or trott!ng
matches. The flag was w suspended
at half mast in respect to the memory
of the late Augustus Shrlver, former
President Of the Society. The display
of cattle was not very large; aeverA.
fine herds of Durhams and Allerncvs
were in the stalls from the College
farm in this county, and Mr.. Zeller :
of Washington. The exhibit of farm
horses was very good. The agricul-
tural implements We're not large, but
very good what were Of them. The
poultry department was full as also
the vegetable kingdom was well rep
resented by big pumpkins, egg plants,
turnips, sweet potatoes, etc. The
Ladies department of beautiful home
made quilts, blankets, rugs, fancy
work, etc was full and attracted I'M
usual praise. Mr.. Perkins had his
Art Gallery represented with portraits
of Judge John f. Smith, Augustus
Shriver and other celebrities of Car
roll county.
Mr.. John Dukehart, from the Col
lege farm, near Emmitsburg, for the
celebrated Durham Bull, weighing
229S pounds, received premium;--
and also for his fine COWS both Of Dur
ham and Alderney stock,
Messrs. J. Yingling e. Bro, the
merchant princes of Westminster,
had their establishment we'll repre-
scented with shawls, laces, fancy goods
and Notions, etc, all tastetully ar
ranged and the Show Case Of Mr..
W. 0. Ligget, the live merchant of
the same place, filled with Boots,
Shoes and Fancy Articles, WAS an at
tractive feature of the Fair.
The Fruit Department of grapes,
ounces, apples, pears, peaches, etc.
was we'll represented. Mr.. John II.
Chew, of Carrollton, had 80 varieties
of apples present from his orchard.
There were number of fine draw
ings, paintings, chromos, photograph
views and other sketches which elici-
ted high encomiums.
The race (purse $l00) of Tuesday
was won by Mr.. Frank Beavers gray
mare beating Capt. Caples bay mare,
late from Illinois. 1t was a half mile
stretch, the two best in three, and was
well contested.
But we have not space to 60 into
further detail. The weather was fine,
and we have no doubt the Fair will
prove great success.
The attendance on Thursday and
FRIDAY was large many persons from
Frederick county and other portions
of the State Were present.

THE VERDICT OF THE JURY.
In the Circuit Court of Washington
County, the second trial of Joseph W.
Davis for the murder of Abraham l..
Lynn, in Carroll County, on the 9Th
day Of April last, WAS concluded last
Saturday. At l:20 p. m. the argu.,
ment being closed, the Judge cleared
the Court room, and the Jury was left
alone to make up its verdict. The
evidence was so conclusive to- the
minds of the Jury, however, that it
could have been recorded in the jury
box, without the Courts adjourning,
if it had been known. Some time was
spent in talking over the case, but nos
voice dissented, and within an hour
and half after the Jury had been.
left alone, the verdict of Guilty Of
Murder in the FIRST Degree" was en-
tered against Jos. W. Davis. After
some delay the Court was brought to-
sether to receive the verdict, wheh
about o'clock, the Jury was dischar-
ged. =. 1884,
The trial lasted twelve days, Du-
ring that time the men composing the
Jury were completely isolated from
the world aronnL them. They were
constantly under the charge of Bail
ih, and were not allowed to read a
newspaper, speak to a friend or rela-
tive, or even read a letter from any
one, without the letters having first
passed the examination of the Judge,

IS wears, and the youngest ~. We
believe most of the .Jurymen We're
members of the Church but could not
learn to what branch thev belonged
During the whole trial not an oath OF
vul gar expression was uttered. Nc
liquors of any kind were used as a
beverage, and but in two cases as a
medicine. No extras, such AZ cigars
&c. We're ordered and charged to the

bought and paid for it himself. This
county was only put to the rxpen'e

Sunday, 22d uItilno, under the escort
of the BajIiH, the entire Jury attend

church IN the morning, ana the l.uth-
eran Rev. Owen - church AZ night
For intelligence and integrity OF
character, we believe this Jury will
60 npare tayorahly with any that has
ever been iiupanrlel in the county
Those with whom we are personally
acquainted stand As high in the est
nation OF the public as any men,

Sentence upon the prisoner has beer

ARCHBISHOP RAYLEY.

The installation Of Archbishop Bay
ley, az previously announced, takes
place at the Cathedral, in Baltimore
on Sunday, the 18th instant. AS he
was consccrated once, when elevated
to the bishoprlc Of Newark, says the
.i,wtuk Jouynu( there WILL Of course
be no conservation services IN Baltl-
more, as stated in some papers, but
simply those incidental to the install
latlon Of the new PrImate of America
and his investlture with the pallilnn
The occasion will be rendered grandly
impressive, no less than imposing, rs
is the custom in the Catholic Church
when any great event is being cele-
b. ted. But if the Archbishop, ex-
p,eSsr Wish is COMPLIED with, tnere
w.l l." no display except that which
the church calls Tor. lie has forbid
den any public demonstration on the
part OF the Catholic people of Balti-
more.
In order to sift the truth of the
conflicting rumors as to the ArchDls-
hops departure from Newark for Bal
tlnore, a newspaper representative
visited the cathedral residence on Sa-
turday afternoon, the 2oth ultimo.-
The Primate had just left for Jersey
City. Happily Rev. Father Doaue,
long the prelate's secretary, was at
home, and from him some interesting
facts were obtained. No one, excep-
ting the Prlmate, knows positively
when he will start for Baltimore.
1t is his purpose to slip quietly
away, escaping any demonstration ON
the part Of his people, which, were
they apprlsed OF, would surely be
gotten up. Father Doane thought,
too, that formal leave taking of his
la,e flock by the Archbishop would
only excite degree of sorrow on all
sides difficult to assuage.
Few that are not Catholics can
properly realize the love the faithful
Of Newark bear him who has been
their pastoral chief for a fifth of a
century. Last Sunday DR.. Bayley
was present at church ceremony in
Franklin, near Newark When the
pastor, Father De Burgh, told the
congregation that would be the last
time they would likely see their late
bishop the women burst into tears and
the eyes Of the strong men even burst
into fearful rivulets.
On Thursday next the clergy of
the diocese will assemble in the hall
of the Catholic Institute at | | clock,
and there present the Archbishop with
a farewell address and a costly testi-
nonial of their affection, in the shape
of splendid gold watch, from Tiffa-
ny's, suitably inscribed, and an arch
iepiscopal cross, which is now Ell route
from Paris. The order for the cross
was sent the very day it was positive
ly known the Bishop had been eleva-
ted to the Primary.
1t is to be executed in silver gilt,
with enamel tilagree, and studded
with amethysts, rubies and other pre-
cious stones, and will doubtless be Of
great beauty in design and finish
For the benefit of those not ecclesias
tically informed, it may be necessary
to add that the cross is not to be worn
on the person, but borne on high in
church Professions.

FREDERICK Town, Aug, 80, 1886.
The situation of the inhabited Ter
rtory Of the United States, is not ia
vorable to liberty. Commerce will
produce riches riches, luxury-lux-
ury, corruption-aud corruption, des-
potism. Beyond these western noun
tain: will be found the regions of H.
berty. The forward eye of specula
ton is pleased with the idea, but to
sober reflection, it is asked with pain,
why cannot all be free?
When the Eastern States become
ineffimate and dawdIing in the lap of
corruption, Liberty will again re-illu-
mine her wings, and take her flight
west of the Alleganies.

William Fenessey, is alive, he is de-
