The Fast Horse at Fairs.

Ought the fast horse to be encouraged?
was the question that came up at late
meeting of the Union Farmers Club in
jamestown, N. Y. Mr.. Loucks was in
favor of speed, but he would have it in
the walk of horses, he would breed and
educate them in this direction. In his
view it is not absolutely necessary that
a man go through the world at 2:40 gait
gain 15 minutes and then lose an hour
in extra care of the horse. At the So
called agricultural fairs fast driving
draws gamblers, whisky and rows"
and he advised the breaking away from
it altogether. Mr.. Jenner said it is not
the speed in horse that makes him
practically valuable to mankind, but
the endurance, the ease with which he
is kept, the docility and the health.
Mr.. Clifford was of the opinion that it is
wrong absolutely, and vicious in its ef-
fects to offer large premiums for race
horses and such small ones for more
meritorious stock. He would abolish
the practice and thus, metaphorically
speaking, throw cold water on the pool
sellers and other disreputable prOfes-
sionals.

NEONROE,s AGGREssEONs.

n democratic friend, land we are proud &c
say that we boast many true friends in the
ranks of that party, took us to task, somewhat
few days ago, because of the leanness of ouI
evidence as to Monroe countv's democratic
aggressions upon the political rights of her
sister counties. We confined ourself TO the
case OF Beardslee VS.. Dimmick, merely be-
cause of our desire TO save room, and not be-
cause 1t was all we had on the subject That
case was grave one, because, in its culmina-
ton, Monroe Democrats not only planned
the aggression, but took the lead in carrying
1t to consummation. Besides, it was the first
case and, consequently, an important one-thc
case by which they got&leir hands in, and pre-
pared themselves for the success which followed
their future efforts in the aggressive line. We
were not, by any means, unmindful of the
time when Monroe county, by the preponder-
ance of her delegate representation in 1861 ,at
Milford, flched third year to herself in the
Legislature, and dispoilcd gallant little Pike
of her undoubted right to the representation.
by the election of Col c. D. Broadhead Nor
were we unmndful of that other time, in
IS62, when Pike came to Stroudsburg, with
majority of her delegates instructed in favor
OF John c. Westbrook for Representative
The candidate was conceded to Pike, but as,
IN the nomination of Dimnlck to Congress.
Monroe claimed the right TO say who the can
didate should be. She possibly made this
claim at this time, that she might, with bet
ter face, close the bargain and sale, by which
George II. Roland was appeased, and make
her skirts whole therein. No matter what the
motive-the Monroe delegation in the conven-
ton of that year, did aggress, and the result of
that aggression was that George II. Roland
the man whom Pike county had defeated az
the delegate elections, was sent TO the Lcgisla-
ture, and John c. Westbrook, a better demo
crat and better man. the choice Of large
majority of Pixies democracy, was defeated
somewhat ingloriously. We might cite other
instances of the aggressive tendency of
Monroe's democracy, but we imagine we have
said enough to convince even our neighbor of
the Democrat, of the folly of his standing mp
in the presence of men, and declaring in the
face of all these staring facts, in behalf of
Democratic Monroe, that we have never tried
''to overreach any of our sister counties in anv
"of the relations, Of our Representative Sena-
"torial and Congressional Districts" Itwould
probably be well, if our neighbor would i'm
press these facts upon lis memory. They
might prove useful, as matters of reference, in
future conventions of his party, and save him
the folly of decrying against loyalty in other
coGntics, and ''rings, and all that sort of thing.

rs The nomination Of the tickets foI
Judge of the Supreme Court and State
Treasurer, by the Democratic Convention at
Hilkesbarre, last week, does not infuse anv
extraordinary amount of enthusiasm, among
the rank and file of the party. The press and
the leaders Of the democratic ilk have shouted
their paeans over ii, but they were marked
more by solemnity than JOY, for the reason
that the names of the persons selected for both
positions were but little known to them, and
5heir antecedents less. Upon trust, they were
compelled to receive them as true partfzan
chnms, and as men fitted for the positions to
which they were respectively named and it is
upon trust that they ask the people to elect
them 10 Office. But for policy sake, neither
Judge Ludlow nor Frank NJ Hutchinson
would be before the pecple-and it was only be-
cause it was supposed that the former would
make wonderful run in the East, and the
latter in the West, that they were ever thought
Of at all. We have not word to say against
the character Of either. Both are gentlemen
so far as the word goes, of good character
and we admit that the one makes good demo
cratic local Judge for Philadelphia, and the
other a good treasurer for one of the western
branches of the Pennsylvania Central railroad
company. We opine, however, that more
than this will be required to induce the ma
jority Of the people of Pennsylvania to ele-
vate these men, in preference to those good
men selected for the same position by the
party Of the Republic-the party to whom we
are indebted that we have Repulic at all

FRANCOIS, THE MAGIC PRINCE, AT WILL
LIAMs's HALL ON TUESDAY EvENING.-We
had the pleasure of witnessing one of Fran
co.'s" very wonderful entertainments, in the
Hall, last evening. His performance is the
best of the kind we have ever seen-especial-
ly his mechanical figures, called the Royal
Marlonette Troupe" all of whom perform
with the vim Of living people. Some OF his
tricks were truly wonderful-for instance.
the..drawing Of live rabbit out of mans
mouth, the actual making of two cats out of
one, by merely giving the one thorough
shaking, and lots Of other things equally
astounding. The Hall was crowded on Tues
day evening last, and Francois may always
expect full house, whenever he may see fit
to visit this place. We were surprized at
seeing so many Of our leading citizens in the
Hall, some of whom had never been to wit
ness performance of any kind before One
OF his amusing tricks was the taking of a.
bottle out OF the hat of one of the clergymen
of our borough, which created quite laugh
at the Rev. Gents expense Of course the
whole thing is an illusion, and it only needs
to see how it is done.
