THE SECOND DAY

doubt and that it will be regulated there
should be no doubt"
THE c A
OF the Fair opened with a clear-blue sky,
and a goOdly plumber awaited themselves
of the salubuty of the atmosphere, too
glad TO get cut and away from the dusty,
grimy shops and manufactures, 1t was
noted that the country folks were full as
numerous as we're the denizens of the
cities. The day, apparently, was gwen
up to the "plebians." The train over
the Northern had thirty cars well filed
with passengers, while over the Boston &
Lowell there were three trains each with
forty car loads. The people m~onOpolized
this day, and 10 one, not even corpora
tors, exhibitors, or any one else found any
fault.
Vacancies in the judgeships were filled,
and, strange as it may appear, almost new
committees were formed. The grand ex-
hibitiou of horses and stock of all kinds
took place during the day. So far as
horses were concerned, the Rev. W. H. Ii.
Murray of Park Street Church, Boston,
took The lead. This gentleman can preach
a good sermon, deliver u two-huDdred.
cellar lecture, write a paying essay for
the atlantic Monthly, and, last, though
possibly not least, breed raise and exhibit
. specimens Of the equine species that will
not oHly take first premiums but excite Ike
admiration Of all interested in horsefesh.
Mr.. "A, may not be, and probably is not
the coming man, but he is one of the live
men of the present century.
The cattle tent was visited by thou
sands with profit and pleasure. L. G..
Fisher Of Cabot, VT, brought six head Of
Short-horns, which had been bred with
great care. He had one bull valued at
$500, which is a cross with the celebrated
Princess" the owner of which has re-
fused $1,000 for her. Calves of this
stock, fed on Sour milk, have gained over
Six lbs. per day.
The splendid specimens from Malvern
Farms attracted large attention and won
numerous premiums.
In the afternoon large numbers witnessed
the races, in which "Sam Curtis won
the $3.50 purse-the highest. A fost
race in which eight men participated was
won by Edwin Kirby of Manchester, N.
H., sl5 being allotted to him.
Chas. Houghton of Putney, took the
2nd premium for Holstsin cattle, and also
that for bulls of the sane variety. $4,000
we're on the grounds during the day.
THE THIRD DAY
Opened with a heavy shower at six o'clock
in the morning. The cattle and horses
were securely housed and we'll protected
from the rain, the roofs of the stables and
pens being covered with tarred paper,
battencd to resist the force Of the wind
which whistled through the gronnds and
among the tents and painted canvas of the
side shows.
1t became evident to the management
at an early hour, from the moist condi.
tion Of the track and other attendant cir.
cumstances, that it would be impossible
to carry out the programme of the day,
and they accordingly decided to postpone
the races, and continue the Fair through
Saturday. II was also decided topostpone
the delivery of the address Of Rev. Mr..
Murray VI til Saturday.
NOtwitl standing the inclement weather
there wes at one o'clock about 1000 peo-
pic onth' grounds.

An Unpublished Letter OF old
Ethan'S.

Mr.. Walter Ferris Of Charlotte, has IN
his possession a letter of Ethan Aliens,
written to Mr.. Ferris's great-grandfather,
Benjamin Ferris, after whom the town of
Ferrlsburg was named. 1t is in fine yrc.
servation and is a valuable relic Of the
old hero. We are Indebted to a friend
for a copy Of it, which reads as follows:

A friend IN Baltimore sends us copy
oflhe Bols'n6rs Balsiin Of The 9th ultimo,
containing an earnest appeal in behalf Of
s. Teackle Wallis for the United States
Senatorship. Our views on the sub
ject are 80 well expressed BY the Har-
ford Democrat, that we give them below.
We do not think that the members Of the
Legislature should be selected because
they are fFiendly to the Interests Of any
ofthe gentlemen who have been named in
connection with that position, but for the
good Of the Whole, and il Is growing evil
which ought to be ffowned down by men
Of all parties. There is time enough after
the election to. canvass the claims Of the
various gentlemen named for that Office,
and we are opposed to that principle. If
the counties win select good men and true
for the next Legislatur,sthey will be able
to select a gentleman who viii properly
represent the State in the United States
Senate, and uphold the pride as well as
the interests Of the State.
The Baltimore Bulletin, Of the 9th instant,
contains a long communication recommending
$. Teackle Wall is for the United States
Senate. The writer urges the city delegates
70 disregard the ring candidates and elevate
Mr.. Wallis from the ranks to the leadership
Of the party. In the event Of their failure or
refusal TO do so, he urges the county members
10 take the initiative and bestow upon Mr..
Wallis the nomination.
II is not the time to discuss candidates for
the United States Senate. There has been
too much Of this already, particularly in the
city Of Baltimore, and we viii be much graft.
fed II, at the election, it does not produce a
crop Of Republicans in one ofthe Legislative
districts. We trust the counties will avoid
the mistake made by the city in nominating
their candidates for the Legislature because
Of their known preference for particular
candidate for the U. 5. Senate.
Our first duty is 70 nominate intelligent and
reliable men-the best men in the party, il
they will serye,--and by united effort secure
their election, and trust to their wisdom to
place in the U. s. Senate the man who will
be most acceptable to the party and public,
and who will be most useful to the State and
country. The duties Of legislator are mani
fold, the least important Of them is, in Sc.
Letting from the many good men in the party
and State a U. S. Senator. How absurd,
then, and how damaging to the interests Of
the party and State to make = mere personal
preference for that officer the sole qualifea.
tion Of a law-maker, needs no argument to
demonstrate, particularly when the inevitable
result Of such a course is to give the control
of the State to the Republicans and place US
under Radical rule

Destructive Fire in Baltimore
GREAT LOSS of PROPERTY,

Tn. fire which occurred in Baltimore on
Fnda,. the 18th ul1mo, was probably ,he
mostiestructive that has visited that cry 70,
n ouater of a century past. IL commencea
Al hafpast ten o'clock in the extensive Sash
and Mind factory Of Messrs. Joseph Thomas
a SoIs. corner Of Park and Clay streets, ana
continued to rage with great fury until p ~
In All lls houses were consumed, but the
mosi valuable we're the two churches une
ofthese, the First English Lutheran, on Lex
inston street, near Howard, was situated some
distance 10 the west of the building in which
the FIRE originated. The other, the Central
Presbyterian, at the corner Of Saratoga ana
Liberty, was even further removed from the
origin Of the fire and in an entirely opposite
direction. -
Three or four private dwellings on Mulber'
r, street. near Park, fell prey to the deyour,,
ing element, and at one time, the wlnd
blev with such force, that fears were enter
taued Of a repetition Of the Chicago and Bos,
ton conhagrations. Several times tne w,hu
shifted, and hnslly became so fluctuating that
persons residing upon Charles, Mulberry, LAD
erty, Cathedral, Park, Saratoga, Pleasant,
Barnet, and upon the extreme limits oil Gay
street, became alarmed, and many removed
their furniture,
Fortunately many of the buildings burned
were small, and Of comparatively tritiing Pc
cuniafy value.
with the exception of the churches, the
heaviest loss is probably sustained by Messrs.
Thomas Sons, where the lire originated.
The firm owned several houses in the imme'
date vicinity of their factory, all of which
were burned.
Great credit Is due to the fremen, who
worked with almost superhumnn energy and
endurance.
Fearing at one stage of the contlagration,
that il would spread to an indefinite extent,
the authorities telegraphed to Washington,
Wilmington, Del, and Philadelphia, for help.
An responded with alacrity, but only the
Washington Department was needed. 1t
reached Baltimore on special train in forty
two minutes. Such extraordinary despatch
has probably never before occurred. The
distance is thirty seven miles.
The losses by the fire are estimated at
$S0O0O0 Considerable loss was incurred by
the removal of furniture. On the alleys and
smaller streets there was n large number of
moderate means. They are but little able to
stand any pecuniary loss, and with many their
furniture was so broken and otherwise injured
as to be rendered almost valueless,
The sharks and vuitures were out in large
numbers, and despite the vigilance Of the
police, succeeded in securing many valuables.
Al elderly lady had trunk broken open and
robbed of 5000 in epld
The Cathedral was saved by the extraordi.
nary exertiOns of several gentlmen.
The number of buildings destroyed i.
officially stated at 1888. This includes two
churches, three school. houses, eighteen four,
story, sixty.four three.story and twenty. three
two.story brick houses, four restaurants,
three boarding houses and four stables. Nc
official estimate of the loss has yet been made

the control of the mails and reenter the

A conspiracy based on PRESERVATION has
failed grievously in Oregon. One Caru-
theirs died there and left valuable prop
erty, to which there were no heirs unless
the descendants of daughter could be
discovered. SO certain Joseph Dixon
was found in st. Louis, who was told TO
call himself Wrestling Joe,n the father of
Fienice Carathes, and was taken TO
Oregon. Upon his testimony one of the
parties to the suit then expected to gain
the estate. Dixon was thoroughly drilled
in his part, sometimes verbally and some
times by written papers. He got about
four thousand dollars for the fraud, and
then seems to have sold out to the opposite
parties. The Portland, Oregon, Eeening
Ne'es, publishes two long columns of his
confession, sworn to before notary pub
lie, in which he exposes the whole swindle.
The new Senator from Oregon, John
Nipple, appears to be mixed up in the
affair as counsel for the swindlers.
