The Hallocks Of this city. Owing to the lack of
sufficient announcement the attendance was
rather small. OF the game itself it is enough to
say that on both sides it was shocking display
of errors, redeemed only at rare intervals by
bits of really brilliant play. The Resolutes
played with only eight men, and the Halocks,
though playing full nine, might well have
been without some of their members, as far as
their aid was concerned. The great drawback

NEW YORK, Sept. 12--The steamer Cuba,
which arrived yesterday, BROUGHT to our shores

The Vermont state Fair-Addvess by
Horace ssreeley,

ST. JoHNsBURY, Vt, Sept 12.-Ihe state
agricultural society opened its twentv-third an.
nual fair at st. Johusbury on Tuesday, and CON
tinues until Friday night. good crowd was
on the grounds the first day. The number of
entries is considerably larger than last year, and
the show Of horses is particularly strong, there
being $40 entries. The show of cattle is not as
large, but those on the ground are fine animals.
The show of farm products is larger than for
many years.
Horace Greeley arrived this morning and de-
hyered the annual address. His subject was,
The field for improvement in agriculture" He
said cultivation had not progressed in New En-
gland IN proportion to its growth in population
and this is not due to dislike for work
or the natural causes, but to the lack of
brain power applied to agriculture as in other
pursuits; wind, water and steam have not been
utilized as they ought, and must be ere long, in
the service OF agriculture. Irrigation has not
received the attention its importance demands:
the value of forests has not been duly appreciat,
ed. proper attention to these things will in
crease her products and her population by 20
per cent in ten years.
The address had no political illusions. At
Its close Mr.. Greeley took general tour of in
Spection among the houses and stock and ex-
amined infinitely and with much evident salts
faction the agricultural implements on exhibit
llon. The fair is, in every particular, success.
The entries for premiums greatly exceeded
those of last year. A delegation from South
Carolina, headed by eX-GoY Aiken, are among
the visitors.

PLAIN LANGUAGE TO THE MEXICAN MINISTER
NEW YORK, Sept. 12-On the occasion OF
the presentation of Senior Marescal the Mexican
minister, the president discarded the custom OF
exchanging formal speeches, and plainly in
formed the new minister that the condition OF
his government has of late been anything but
friendly Recognizing the fact that the republic
was rent with war and the IeNan border wholly
unguarded by Mexican troops, except depreda-
tory expeditions into Texas, our government
had been forced to regard their condition with
much sympathy, rcgrettng, however, that Mex
leo was unable to fulfill her obligations toward
a friendly power.
But there was one thing that could not 90
unnoticed The Mexican government had ap-
pointed as commissioner on the.Mexcan claims
commission, holding its session in Washington,
Leon Guzman, whose first official act, if permit
ted TO stand, would completely overthrow the
convention and break the treaty, leaving ii to
future negotiations to mend the matter This
the president declared could not be tolerated by
the United States, and in accepting the creden-
tails of Mariscal it would be with the expressed
understanding that the Mexican government
should be informed at once of the attitude of
this government.
Besides the unCourteous act of L. Guzman, it
suspended 1866 cases, which if not decided by
February LIST would amount to nothing, as all
cases not decided on that date would be forever
barred. The United States wOuld, therefore, in
SlSt that if the present Mexican commissioner
was relieved, and his successor did not have time
to complete the work before them, the treaty
must be extended. The delay Occasoned by the
action of Guzmau would be construed as embar-
RAISING the purpose for which the treaty was
made and his recall was therefore expected.
To this Marescal replied that his government
had sent him with only friendly instructions,
and he should promptly acquaint the Mexican
foreign Office of the sentiments which have been
to-day expressed, believing that as far as it was
in the power of his government those friendly
relations should be maintained. The recall of
L. Guzman is therefore expected by the next
mail.

A session Of the cabinet was held at noon to-

Troubles in Alaska,

SAN Francisco, Sept. 12.-Dispatches from
Victoria report matters in Alaska in a very un.
satisfactory condition. The steamer Rose had
been seized at Cross sound by Indians, and the
passengers and crew are held as hostages for
the payment of damages for killing Indians by
the garrison at Sitka, some time ago. The
steamer escaped and the crew arrived at Stka,
the only place where there is anything like gov.
eminent in Alaska. Elsewhere life and prop
erty are at the mercy of the Indians. The SOL
ders on San Juan island are to be removed to
Port Townsend, Washington territory
