Oxford Fair.-The Spring exhibition of
the Oxford Agricultural Society, held last
week, is pronounced the best of any here
tofore held. The stalls were filled with
fine bred stations, mares and colts. The
display of horses, showed an improvement
on former years, which is an indication
that farmers are turning their attention to
the care of stock.
An extensive display of agricultural
machinery was made, among the exhibitors
of which, from this county, we find the
names of j. Tome & Co., agents for Woods
improved mower and reaper, Hunts corn
dropper and two.horse cultivator, and
Hunts plows.
The floral and horticultural display was
also very fine, in which our Colora florist,
Mr.. G. Balderston, took a conspicuous
part. The display in this department was
larger than ever before.
Mr.. W. Taylor, of Zion, received spe-
cial premium for stud colt, in the first
class. VIM. Armstrong, of Fair Hill, was
awarded 81, second premium for best mare
and colt for road. Henry Hess, of Fair
Hill, second premium 81, for single car
riage or road horse. Miss Nellie Oldham,
of Upper Principle, George Balderston, of
Colora, and Mrs. Amy T. Mearnes, of Zion,
received premiums for flowers; l. F. Van
arsdale, of Zion, took first premium for
Strawberries, New Jersey scarlet variety;
Mary Armstrong, of Fair Hill, first pre-
MUM $1.00, for best kept apple (Red
Romant.)
The trotting ring was the center of at
traction and excitemet, and the number of
tickets sold, indicated an attendance of
5000 on Friday. Among the trotting
horses, o. P. Clemson, of this town, en-
tered Lady Chester, which made the best
score. The total receipts Of the fair
amounted to 81, 1872. so.

This time the dress refolmer makes his ap-
pearance in the masculine ranks, and savaeely
condemns the usual attire of man. This is
Nemesis and all that sort of thing, and we
are rather glad to see it, for the poor women
have been abused long enough for sins of the
toilette. The reformer, Williamson by name.
conveys the startling information that the Or
binary man wears nineteen garments. and
that n these garments there are fourteen
pockets. Mr.. Williamson argues that much
of this weight of clothing is superfluous, and
that the pockets are wholly unnecessary.
Without discussing the question of avoirdu-
pois or asking what a man is to do with his
tobacco, and his corkscrew, and his iackuife.
and his loose change, and his handkerchief.
We would suggest to the newly arisen re-
former that his statement in regard to pock-
cts will have a deleterous effect upon the
rising generation. Soon as ever the average
boy learns that a man is entitled to fourteen
pockets he will make frantic efforts TO reach
adolescence. Unlike other 'reformers of
the day Mr.. Williamson is not merely de.
structlve. He suggests new costume which
is no less than "a modification of the Roman
'osa' with belt about the waist for ordinary
occaslons'" and, of course, without those
preposterous pockets He Furthermore cows
"there is no good reason why common work
ingmcn should wear more than a breecb. .clo,,t
in summer, and cose-fitting suit of SERGE in
winter" We are given to understand that
an association of ladies and gentleman has
been formed in New York to promote this
reform, and that the ladies have expressed
their willingness to receive the visits of gen.
men who are clothed in the new costume. 1t
is to be hoped that the visits of wolkingmen,
in warm weather at least, will not be en-
couraged.

In the new cooking-school for girls estab-
lished in Tew York theory and practice are
charmingly blended. The class is first taken
before teacher who gives chemical analy-
sis of the dinner bill of fare, stating the pro-
portion of nitrates, carbonates and phos-
pilates which enter into it, aud the relation
each bears to the needs of the body. The
girls are then taken into the cook room where
the chef, M. Pallas, throws a few pinches in
to saucepan of water and produces there
from in a surprisingly short time fine batch
of queen fritters, big, bouncing, and light as
feathers. A lesson in jugglery, apropos to
potatoes Ia lyonnaise, follows, the young
women being taught to give the handle of the
pan an ingenious toss which sends every sep
arate slice into. the air in regular procession
and makes them descend again in the same
order into their proper places the other side
up. Cooking as taught in this way, which
we may venture to call q la chinois, is said to
be as good as a play.

FROM all we can gather respecting the crops
in this state from our exchanges and other
sources, the harvest Of 1874 will average
much better than most years. The hay crop
is large and was secured in prime condition /;
all grain crops ripened in good weather and
must yield well; corn which looked like fail.
ure early in August must have ripened dur
ing the sunny, warm days of September; po-
tatoes Indicate an average yield so that the
supply will be equal to the demand; the
cheese factories and other dairy operations
ave been successful and their products will
'mmand good prices; apples and other fruits
iuii an average so that Maine will have
apples to sell this year instead of having to
purchase for home consumption. Neverthe-
less, there are those who grumble. There al
ways will be such. They have no use for a
real thanksgiving day.

DIR. SCHENCK'S
PulmOnic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures OF Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution.
Other remedies advertised as cures for Consumn-
tion, probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases. and if taken freely by
consumpive patients. it must do great injury: for
its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make cure impossi-
bic.
Schenck's Pnlmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle OF opium: 1t is composed of pow
erful but harmless herbs which act on the lungs
liver, stomach and blood and thus correct all NOR
bid seeretons and expel all the diseased matter from
the body, These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can an be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate in this way is obv1-
Gus they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions

gymnasium, and the Sophomores and Fresh
men likewise. with three exceptions, leaving
the battalion at present composed of three men,
and showing that the students did not rebel

TEMPERANCE IN NEwFIELD.-A correspond
ent in Newfield writes us glowing account of
Temperance reform in that town, resulting
from the lectures of Francis Murphy, which
took place in the Methodist church last Sunday
afternoon and evening, the effect of which can
be best judged from the fact that LAT persons
signed the pledge, and on Monday evening a
Reform Club was organized
