A CORRECTION.

In the report of DR.. Cuylers sermon on the
death OF Mr.. Greeley which appeared in yesterdays
TRIBUNE he quoted as saying that he was one OF
those noble Of Christ who rose so brilliantly that
all wondered and admired" DR.. Cuyler writes TO
The Brooklyn Union disclaiming this expression wholly
adding the following what he really said OF the re-
lgiOus sentiments of Mr.. Greeley:
From many OF the religious views OF Mr.. Greeley
strongly dissented. He believed in the Inspiration OF
the Word OF Cod but interpreted that Word according
10 the Pelagan theology. He believed in the divinity OF
our Lord and Savior but rejected the common evange
ca view Of the atOnement, and held that all men would
yet be restored the Divine favor though some
OF them might have suffered temporary future punish
ment.
THE TRIBUNE hastens 10 make the correction. which
Dr. CuyIer desires reporter says he finds the
expression as above among his notes.

Was the Late Fair Of the Iowa
County Agricultural Society
Success

1t had been prophesied by many that
our late Fair would be failure, from the
fact that the Executive Committee, at its
meeting in June, resolved to make the ex-
pertinent of holding our Fair without
horse-races. This was done because a
great many of our well-to-do farmers
made strong complaints against giving so
large an amount of money as premiums
for races, and so Ct mparatiycly small an
amount as premiums on stock, field and
garden products, &c.
IF il can be shown that orr receipts
netted as much after paying premiums as
our Fair of last year, | suppose that the
people generally will be disposed to admit
that an Agricultural Fair can be protita-
bly held without having races in connec-
ton Herewith. Now, what are the com
narrative receipts of last year, and of this
| have theI figures from the treasurer
| books so that they are reliable. In th'
figures below | have not included th'
rents for stands leased from the fact tina
lots last year were sold at higher pric
than ever before, and the nett receipts Q
those selling on the grounds did not, II
their opinion, justify them in paying sucl
prices as last year. Hence, at the tim

Mr.. EDITOR last night we had one
of the largest and most enthusiastic poll
teal meetings, ever held in this place.
There was grand turn out Of our citi-
zens and the surrounding neighboihood
with parties from Madison, and Black
Earth swelled cur numbers to over 5000
The torch light procession was grand
affair. At least 500 torches were in the
ranks, which with the music from two
bands rolled up wave of light and mel
ody (not tidal wave) long to be remem-
bered by the citizens Of Mazomanie.
The largest church in the place was filled
to over flowing, and then not more than
one fifth could get in doors. The meet
ing was addressed by the Hon. G. W,
Hazletine, and Mr.. Wheeler, of Baraboo
For two hours and one-half, this vast audi
ence listened with undivided attention to
the truths beautifully, and eloquently de-
livered by the speakers.
There was no necessity for such meet
ing as this to defend the interests Of our
party, against our political foe. The coal
ition of sore-headism ard copper headism
recently transformed into rebelisna, is now
helpless, and lifelcss at our feet Never
theless, treason, like san, demands punish
