REPUBLICAN meetings have been held In the
coal regions on every evening during the past
week with good effect. The miners, who are di-
rectly interested in this campaign, do not intend
to allow free traders 20 get into power to put
their wages down to rates corresponding with the
pauper labor of Europe. The working classes In
that region are too intelligent to be deceived
Many have had practical experience, and will moi
be gulled by political tricksters, which would re-
suit in great injury to themselves and families.

THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR at this place closed
on Friday last. On Friday forenoon an agricul-

Packer, which was listened to with great interest
There was large number Of farmers and 9TH
ers present who pronounced the address able and
well calculated to give encouragement to our
agricultural friends to further improve their pur-
suits. lie referred to the changes having taken
place In this county within the last quarter Of a
century, and the vast improvements made by the
farmers In the county. After concluding his re-
marks Mr.. Packer introduced his friend General
Joseph NJ. Wilson, Of Philadelphia, who made a
brief but clear and comprehensive speech, setting
forth the claims Of agriculturein glowing colors,
showing that we could be prominently useful by
giving all manner of aid and encouragement to
the farmer of our grand old Commonwea He
entertained his hearers and enforced his views
with several wcll-tmed Illustrations, and was lis
tened to with profound attention, and closed
amid the calls of ego on from his audience,
Mr.. Wilson evidently understands the gift pub
lie speaking, as he pithily remarked that brief
speeches were the best, as audiences had rights
which speakers were bound to respect.

Poetry.
e For the Spectator.
The Mountain in Labor,

ssr-.e .,--.'
The mountain when her pain came on,
Tis said, produced mouse,
But these sage men, with all their pains
Failed to bring forth lie.
'Tis true they met in Louisville
From several different States,
And spent the hours of night and day
In long and loud Debates
And Td tho they tugged and toiled long
They could not find man, q
To carry out. as they had hoped,
Their Well-concerted plan.
These men pretend, they cannot vote
For Greeley or for Grant
Why not at once admit the truth
And cease such foolish cant?
The trick, frcm first to last, was this,
q And some admit it freely, 49,
To keep Ulysses where he is,
And thus kill Horace Greeley.
Vain men! they might as we'll attempt,
I g 10 quell the raging storm,
AS hush the peoples loud huzza,
For freedom and reform.
w hen they can change all natures course,
Her laws turn upside down,
Then they may still those lofty strains,
For Greeley and for Brown
1.-The fighting tanner" as he's called,
- Is surely doomed to leave;
The scalawags may hang their heads,
And carpet-baggers- rs-greive.
BACK let him go, to Illinois,
To follow his vocation;
He may, perhaps, tan hides quite we'll.
He's failed to rule nation q i1z ~
Unless, indeed, by rule is meant,
Oppression theft and crime;
Then. has he carved himself name,
Which will forever shine. x .c
DO what they may, try what they can,
Their efforts all will fail;
And they be left a laughing stock,
Their follies to bewail.
Let them beware that Greeley song
Has set the land on fire,
And while they gaze upon its light
They'll in its flames expire
