Cumberland Agricultural Exhibition

To the Editor of the Press:
The pleasant little village of North Wind
ham has been much agitated of late, at the
near approach of the time which is to usher
in the thirty-ninth annual exhibition of the
Cumberland County Agricultural society As
this society commands wide spread interest
throughout the county, it may be well to in
form your readers that the executive commit
tee of the society are doing their best to make
the county fair of this year the most success
full and attractive exhibition which has ever
yet been given under their patronage. Under
the direct supervisor of Mr.. Samuel Dingley
secretary of the society-county commission
er elect-the area Of Sebago park has been
much enlarged, the enclosure now embracing
some fifteen acres; seats are to be constructed
people; $50 stalls and pens are to be
put up for the stock; and we'll is now being
sunk upon the grounds. The track
has been worked into a most excel
lent condition; the judges stand re-
moved some six rods up the track, thus giving
to the horses a better ssend-off." The engross-
ing feature of the three days fair will
be, without doubt, the grand sweepstake
race on Friday. Among the entries
for this race, the champion stallion of Maine
Messenger Knox-s entered, but he must look
well to his newly won laurels, for that spirited
jet black stallion, Phil Sheridan, is in the field
whilst the swift footed and beautiful bay stall
lion, Lightfoot, is under training in Massachu-
sets for the race. King William and Shepard
Knapp, Jr., are also said to be entered. A
temporary but substantial one story building
has been erected upon the grounds which will
serve as headquarters for the officers of the So
ciety Fl. 81. Boody's Hall is being fitted up
for the reception of the agricultural and house,
hold products and wares. For this purpose the
hall is being enlarged by an additional struc-
ture of fifty feet in length, which will give am
pie room for all who desire to show their pro-
ducts and goods for the large premiums offered
by the society.
The hotel accommodations are thought to be
quite sufficient, as many of the private dwell
ling houses will be thrown open to the public.
Hon. Geo. w. Woodman president of the society,
has engaged rooms for himself and family
at Mr.. Thomas McDonald's residence, former
ly known as the North Windham House, which
on this occasion will be opened to accommo-
date the public. Mr.. York, proprietor of the
ion and connected the same with his
hotel This will be used as a restaurant and as
a dance hall. Manchester full Quadrie band
will furnish the music 1t is expected that
Hon. T. s. Lang of Augusta, will deliver the
annual address on Thursday evening, Oct LIST.
If the weather holds favorable there will be, l
venture to say, more people present than has
ever greeted our county fair before.
North Windham. better known as Poverty
Corner" is very pleasantly located in the
center of the county, at the foot of Lake
Sebago. 1t is whispered that this place will
he the normanent seat of Our cOuntv fairs

ACTIVITY IN THE IRON TrADE.-A special
dispatch from Troy, N. H., to the Times, says
affairs at the iron works in Troy and Albany
and other places on the Hudson have taken
sudden and radical start. A few weeks ago it
was admitted by all iron men that the prospects
of running the Bessemer steel and the Renses-
laer rail mill were by no means promising.
This week both Rensselaer, and Bessemer works
have resumed operations, having on hand Or
ders that will keep them busy for several
months. The resumption has given employ
ment to about 800 men. Notices were posted
at the steel works last week for all persons in
tending to return to work to report to the
superintendent previous to Friday night, else
their places would be filled by other workmen.

A FRAUDULENT CLAIM ALLOWED nx tn

A FRAUDULENT CLAIM ALLOWED By THE
MIXED COMMISSION Washington despatch
to the Boston Advertiser says that a case has
been discovered where our government has paid
100000 in gold upon the award of the mixed
commission for cotton destroyed, where nearly
all the evidence upon which it was founded
turns out to be fraudulent. The fraud became
fully known to our authorities before the pay
ment, but after the final decision and formal
award, it was decided that then. as under the
treaty, the award was binding, the only course
remaining was to pay the sum over; thereafter
it would be proper to call the attention of the
English authorities to the facts in the case, SO
that the money may be retained from the par
ties seeking it frudulently. In such case it may
eventually be returned to the United States.

The Hon. Job E. Stevenson has been nom.
mated for Congress by the Republicans of the
lid Ohio District. Mr.. Stevenson was a
member of the XLIId Congress and made
himself famous by getting dreadfully worsted
in contest which he invited with Speaker
Blaine. His disposition for controversy seems
to be as strong as ever, for he is irving to
draw his opponent, Congressman Banning,

To- DAY the Maine Pomologicol Society
closes its second annual exhibition. As an
evidence of what Maine can do in fruit cul-
ture. it has been most gratifying success;
and although exhibitions of tbrs class are not
attended with the marked demonstrations
which the average agricultural horse trot re-
ceives, the gentlemen who are engaged in
this work have right to congratulate them
Selves with the fact that they are doing for
the state work of the greatest Importance.
There are thousands OF dollars for Maine
farmers and gardeners in intelligent fruit cut
ture where there are not hundreds in rearing
horses or any other of the more expensive
departments of agriculture and stock breed
ing. The mission Of this Society is to turn
public attention in this channel.

The Gallatin, Ill. Gazette man may have
attended the Yale school of journalism but
we cannot think that he has ever spent an
evening with the gentleman in politics. The
following item respecting the editor of the
Tazewell County Republican leads us to the
above conclusion:
He is thief, hypocrite, scoundrel, and
drunkard; man who had not friends enough
when he left Shawneetown to give him a de-
cent burial; man who robbed gaming-table
anc reveled in the dens of prostitutes; man
who would wear countenance that would de-
ceive both God and the devil, and still have the
best end of the bargain.
And this, too, on an off year in politics.

THE TAXATION OF CoRPoRATIoNs.-The
Court of Appeals in New York has recently
made an important decision, affirming the
judgment of the Supreme Court in the question
at issue between the Tax Commissioners and
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. This
corporation, which holds its charter under the
laws of New York, refused to pay taxes on the
steamships used exclusively in navigating the
Pacific Ocean, on the ground that as the tax
laws have no extra-territorial operation, this
property, being situated permanently beyond
the limits of the stite, is not liable to assess
ment for taxation there. In the Hoyt case, in
1861, the Court of Appeals maintained this
point of exemption of property outside of the
state, but the Tax Commissioners contended
that this decision was not applicable to corpo-
rations for the reason that they are taxed on
different rules from those which regulate the
taxation of individuals. Special stress was
laid by them on the value of the franchise as a
subject of taxation, and it was urged that the
personal estate of corporation is blended with
the franchise. This view was disapproved by
the Supreme Court who decided against the
Tax Commissioners on the authority of the
Hoyt case; and the Court of Appeals have now
affirmed this judgment.
REsoLUTE VS.. ANDRoscoGaN-The game at

Wilson acted very acceptably as umpire. The
Androscoggins propose to play return game
shortly In this city.
