is excellent, and large apples, pears,
plums, grapes of all varieties are shown
in abundance. Mayor Dodge OF Bur
lington, exhibits delicious varieties OF
Black Hamburg, Golden Hamburg and
Muscut grapes; Mr. Bliss of Colchester,
has several different varieties of grapes,
pears and plums; Mr. Hagar of Burling-
ton, has large show of pears and
plums. The dairy representatives
promise to be numerous. Cheese from
Westford, Essex and Underhill cheese
factories are already on exhibition as
also from the home dairy of D. c. Lake
Of Charlotte. The competition in the
products of the dairy will be sharp. The
exhibition of flowers and house-plants
is quite large, and we observe neatly ar
ranged boquets in all shapes, from the
small hand boquet to the pyramid OF
four feet high. The specimens OF
needle-work and fancy work, hair
wreaths, crowns, rugs, bed-spreads,
bead-word, etc, etc, are far too many
to enumerate. The ladies have taken
hold of the fair i'll good earnest, and
seem determined that Floral Hall shall
Guido itself in beauty of display and adj
ornment. The sewing machines, or
gans, and pianos, are out in full assort-
ment, and by tomorrow the articles on
exhibition will all be fully arranged,
and ready for a grand display, such q
display as will give the observers an
idea of the abundant resources of this
county. Yours, &c, CLIO.

AT this sale buyers from all parts OF
the world were represented, and the herd
is now widely distributed and will enrich
and improve the stock of many nations.
Englishmen bought ten of their precious
beasts, and paid for them one hundred
and sixty-two thousand dollars; Ken
lucky bought twenty paying one
hundred and eight thousand dollars. a.
G. Conger, of New York, bought four,
paying thirty thousand and nine hum
dred dollars; Col w. S. King, of Min
neapolis, seven, paying eight thousand
eight hundred dollars; A. w. Griswold,
of Morrisville, Vermont, bought eleven,
paying twenty-five thousand SIX nun
bred and seventy dollars; Col. Morris,
of New York, bought four, paying flf-
teen thousand eight hundred dollars;
eleven went to Illinois, aggregating five
thousand eight hundred and twenty dol
lars; A. B. Cornell, of New York,
bought twenty, paying twenty thousand
five hundred dollars; five went to Cana
da; one to Virginia; the remaining eight
remain in New York Eleven of the
Duchess family sold for more than
quarter of million of dollars. High pri-
ces were not confined to Duchess short
horns. An Oxford heifer sold for nine
thousand and six hundred dollars, Mn
ety-three COWS and heifers were sold for
upwards of three hundred and fifty-one
thousand dollars. Fifteen bulls brought
upwards of thirty thousand dollars. The
entire sale amounted to little upwards
of three hundred and eighty-two thous-
and dollars.
If every one should rush into these
costly breeds of cattle, of course the
competition would bring down the pric-
es so that the real value of the animals
would be the criterion of price. While
there was good deal of fancy in these
Utica prices, but cattle are too we'll
known as property, and too common to
have such prices range through large
herd unless there is an intrinsic value
behind them that will render this breed
of cattle always valuable. We know
nothing about the points of this short
horned stock, nor of other breeds in
comparison, but the prices obtained by
Mr.. Campbell, would indicate that the
man who breeds them is not always an
idiot, and we suggest that it might be
profitable for an occasional farmer to
see what he can do with pure blocded
cattle.

DISEASE RECOILs

From the system that has been invigorat-
ed and regulated by a course of that most
benificent of all vegetable elixiTs, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. Such, at least, is the
inference we are compelled to draw from
the testimony of thousands of persons
residing in unhealthy districts, who attrib-
ute their escape from the epidemic and
other complaints which prevail there in
the spring aud autumn solely to the use of
this great protective and preventive med
icine. Many Western and Southern farm
ers and planters, as invariably as they SOW
and plant in the spring and reap and gath
er in the fall, administer it to their fami-
lies and employees, and take it themselves
from twice to three times a day. The de-
mand for it in the fever and ague districts
bordering on the Mississippi, Ohio and
Arkansas rivers Is immense and wherever
the natural conditions are such as to gen.
crate intermittent or remittent fevers,i it is
held in the highest esteem both as an an
tidote to the atmospheric virus which pro-
yokes them, and as a swift and certain
remedy for those distressing forms of dis
ease. 1t is almost unnecessary to say that
this renowned tonic and renovator is now
generally accepted as a standard specific
for indigestion, billiousness, nervous dis
temper, rheumatism, physical weakness
and mental dependency, not only by the
public at large, but by all unprecedented
medical men. The vast popularity of the
Bitters.has, of course, led to many coun-
terfelts and limitations, against which the
community are requested to be on their
guard,

FIRST DAY.
ESSEX VI. Sent. 1R

ESSEX VI, Sept. 16.
The Chittenden County Fair opened
splendidly to-day. The weather is very
warm and the dust flies in all directions,
but everybody seems animated with the
idea of a splendid time at the fair.
Floral Hall begins to put on its beau
tiful dress. Every available atom
of space is taken up, and the exhibitors
are displaying their articles in such
way as to show to the best advantage.
In the line of vegetables the display far
exceeds that of the State Fair: pota-
toes, pumpkins, tomatoes, turnips,
squashes, cabbages and finally the whole
term of garden g sass" is out in full
figure. Fl. s. Sanders of South Bur-
lington, Mayor Dodge of Burlington, g.
L. Barstow of South Royalton, and Fl.
B. Percival of Jericho, seem to have
transferred their gardens entire to the
County Fair. The exhibition of fruit

BLOOD CATTLE.

We often hear practical farmers speak
sneeringly of some brother farmer who
has invested large sum in what they
are pleased to term clancy stock. ;"
Now we do not propose to tell "what
we know about farming" or to give adj
vice about what kind of cattle should be
bred by those who make the raising of
cattle and the working of the soil the
business of their lives, but only to call
attention to the recent sale of short
horned cattle on the farm of Samuel
Campbell at the New York Mills, near
Utica, N. Y, on the 10th instant. and to
ask the question whether such prices in
dictate decline in rates or whether il is
profitable to raise this variety of stock.
A Mr.. p. Davis, of Worcestershire.
England, wanted the COW Eighth Duchess
OF Geneva, bad enough to give over
$40, 900 for her. Other bids of 1856. 900.
1875, 900 and 100000 were made for sin
gle COWS. One old, small and sick COW
brought So, 700, and there was one bid of
1927, 900 for a fve-months' heifer calf.
These sums arc probably the largest on
record ever paid for single animals. In
England sales of short-horns are exceed
ingly rare. All the animals of the finest
breeds there are in the hands of wealthy
stock fanciers, who will not sell them.
Hence the strife among English buyers
to purchase those sold by Mr.. Campbell.
Several years ago Mr.. Campbell COM
meneed the collection of his herd of
pure-blood short-horns, and on the 10th
OF this month bis herd stood without an
equal in the world for completeness and
value, and the prices received VIII paw
him for all his outgoes and expenses, be-
sides a liberal compensation for labor
and trouble.

WantCd---in Organ.

The Conservative party in East
Tennessee needs an organ, says the
Greeneville Sentinel and Reporter
n sterling representative paper-at
Y Knoxville, it being a central point,
and one from which tie whole area
wherein it would find circulation
could he easily reached. There can
be no doubt that staunch, reliable.
widc-awal1e daily paper adds greatly
to the influence and efficiency Of a
party, and nowhere in the Union
have the Conservatives suffered more
from the lack of such an element Of
strength as in East Tennessee. The
country press may serve its purpose
faithfully, but it cannot be expected
to note the daily changes in the pol
itical temperature or standing of the
national barometer. This is the of
fee of the daily paper. At the
same time it's comments should he
practical and orthodox upon every
measure and development eff the
body polite. 1t is such paper we
need for our party at Knoxville
Once inaugurated by men we'll known
for the strength of their Conserva-
tive predictions and in whom the
people have some political conf
dence. it would command wide cir
culation and corresponding influence
adding greatly to the efficiency of
the party. Let US have one with
true men ut its helm and true doc
trines in its columns. We want ne
more such sicl1ly, picayunish apollo
gies as we have been laid tribute to
for several years past.

~@O-s---S~ -
EDITORS Gazette This being
the first day Of the term of Circuit
Court in this county. large number
of the citizens of the county were
assembled in town.
At the hour of adjournment at
noon, his honor, Judge Randolph,
announced from the bench that C..
w. Charlton, was present. and would
address those present upon the sub
ject of Agriculture.
Col. Charlton came to the bench,
and delivered an address, SO full of
common sense and practical truth
that am only sorry that every far
mer in the county did not hear it.
At the request of several farmers,
his honor adjourned Court this even
ing at Il o'clock, to allow the far
mers the use of the courthouse, and
time to organize a Farmers club
Accordingly number of farmers of
the vicinity, met in the court house
and effected an organization of a
club with the following officers cleo
ted for one year: viz, C. E. Carriger,
President; w. G. Witt, Vice Presi-
dent; j. P. Evans, Secretary and
Librarian r. E. Rice, Correspon-
ding Secretary; j. II. Trent, Treas
urer.
During the meeting, Col. Charlton
was present taking an active inter-
est in the proceedings. as was also
Judge Randolph, to both of whom
the Club is indebted for many sug-
gestions and much encouragement.
A committee was appointed by the
President to prepare a draft of Con-
stitution and Bylaws for the Club,
with instructions to report at the
next regular meeting of the Club.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted
1. That we return eur hearty
thanks to Hon. James Fl. Randolph.
Judge presiding at the present term
of Court. for the courtesy shown us,
by giving us the use of the court
house for the purpose of organiza-
ton, and for the encouragement Civ
en- us as farmers.

are hereby rendered to Csl. G. w.
Charlton for his able address deliv-
cred to the farmers of our county
to-day, and for the valuable aid rem
dered us in organizing this Club.
3. That the Secretary furnish a
statement of the proceedings of this
meeting to the Morristown and Knox
vile papers, and request the publ
cation Of the same.
The Club then adjourned to meet

The supreme Court.

a Washington date says: Anoth-
er very important case which has
been argued involves the question
whether railroads have the power to
enforce stipnlations made in any
case with their passengers that, in
case of injuries by accidents to them,
the railroads shall not be liable
therefor. This question has been
adjudicated by the New York State
Court of Appeals in favor of the
railroads, but it is believed that this
decision will be reversed and this
claim of the railroads overruled.

The Cash System.


One of the greatest curses which
ever afflicted a community or corn
try, says the Lebanon Herald, is q
system OF general and promiscuous
credit. The evils of such a system
are patent to everybody-and yet,
such is the perversity of human ma
ture, and so great the disposition of
most men to omit to-day what they
imagine they can do just as well to-
morrow, that the credit system -four
ishes apace, while the only true and
legitimate basis Of business-to-w /:
to buy and sell for cash alone-is
practiced spasredically or not at all
with the occasional exception of a
man who not only understands the
true principles ef financial success,
but has the firmness to conduct his
business in business like way.
The cash system is better for all
parties concerned. 1t is better for
the merchant, because it obviates
the risk and necessary loss which
every man doing a credit business
must suffer, no matter how careful
and shrcwd he is. it furnishes him
with ready money with which to buy
his stock, and he can therefore buy
lower and sell lower than his neigh
Dor who sells on time. and so at
tract more and better customers :;
and it renders unnecessary the cost
ly services of a book-keeper and 81
collecting agent. The cash system
is better for the purchaser, because
he can buy his goods cheaper for
cash than he can on time. Money
being worth ten per cent. it follows
naturally that merchant can afford
to sell for ninety cents in cash an
article for which he would charge
one dollar on time. This system
also saves the purchaser money in
another way. It is part of every
mans experience that, if he is com
PEELED to pay cash for everything he
buys, be will buy only what he needs,
whereas, if he has a running account,
at store, it is so easy to purchase
an article which attracts the fancy,
saying airily, as he walks out,
''charge it," that every such man
buys twice as much as he needs, and
at the end Of the year, is astonished
and disnayed at the amount Of his
account, which he settles with many
wry faces and much grumbling, or
converts into q promissory note,
which silently, day after day aecu-
mulates interest on principal, until
finally the credit customers pays in
effect two dollars for an article which
would only have cost him one, if he
had paid for it when he bought it.

Another Illinois verdict Of $4,000
for breach of promise suggests the
question why it should be so hard
to alter a mere intention to commit
matrimony when it is SO easy to dis
solve marriage already consummated;
another gives rise to the reflection
that if breach-of-premise laws were
repealed there would be fewer APP
plicatisns for divorce.

The farmers OF Kansas are also
moving against monopoly and poll

at Ottawa, the other day, they re-
solved that they were sick and tired
OF political demagogues, professional
politicians, and the whole set of
tricksters, shysters and corruptionists
who have heretofore represented
them in the State and National
Legislatures" The sick and tired
farmers pledged themselves to sup
