CULpEPER, September 4, 1874.
| The Piedmont Agricultural Society will
| hold its third annual Fair at the Culpepel
Fair Grounds on the 18th, 14tb, 18th, ano
10th Of October next. The Society has jus'
issued a catalogue of the rules. regulations
officers, premiums, SC. 1t contains twenty
six pages of closely-printed matter. 1t offer:
3S9 premiums, averaging from 81 to $50
| General James G. Field is its worthy presi
dent. The Fair promises to be OF unusua
interest. The grounds, located about three
quarters of mile northeast Of the town o.
Cupeper, are beautifully and conveniently
laid off. Fountains, lakes, and walks are
beautiful, and water abundant and conVe
nient 10 the enclosure.
A. FL. Lewis, a coored man, was arrested
Yesterday for being drunk and disorderly
and lodged in Culpeper Jail. The Sergeant
took the usual pains to put him securely IN
an inner cell, and locked the grated door on
him. By means Of some loose rocks out oil
| the wall, and the chair which he demolished
the prisoner broke the lock of his cell, and
getting into private apartment OF the JAIL
easily raised window and escaped.
For the past week or more the passenger
trains on the Orange, Alexandra and Ma
| nassas railroad going north have very seldom
arrived on time. They ought to reach Gull
pepper by quarter before 8 in the afternoon
They have usually varied from half an hour
| to an hour and half later. These delays
are thought to be owing to the great number
OF persons leaving the mountains just abou
this time, and the consequent amount of bag
gage that has to be handled, especially al
Charlottesville and Gordonsvile. 1t is also
thought to be owing to the trains on thi
road having to keep out of the way of train
onthe Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, as thi!
road uses its track between Gordonsvillt
and Charlottesville. This it is thought vii
be remedied ere long. EN-.
