Shenandoah VaIjsy Fair.
The fifth annual fair of the society com
menced on Tuesday Of last week. In con-
sequence of the bad weather the fair was
continued until last Tuesday. The display
of stock. agricultural implements, and Of
articles exhibited in the ladies' depart
ment, is superior 70 that of any former eX-
hibition. The collection of Alderney and
Short Horn stock is large and very fine.
Among the agricultural implements are
two pioughs from the mandatory of Dam
ner & Newman, of this place. The
iieckindorn attracted considerable atten-
ton ana will. we have no doubt, sustain
its reputatso1s ct the blowing match. The
Thornburg & McGinnis Lime Spreader
was placed on exhibition on Saturday.
Among other articles from Shenandoah
we noticed several excellent brooms, man
u1arturcd by Mr.. S. NJ. Lantz. and Lee
dy's Paten; Bee Hive, which attracted
much attention. The display Of goods
from the factories of Messrs. Griffith and
Matthews was large, piece of cloth man.

the finest goods manufactured in this VAL
ley. The facing stock is very fine. On
Friday there were two races. The first

are assured by the turfinen that but for
the heaviness of the track the time would
have been less by five seconds, as Oranse

the lnclemency of the weather, the efforts

The Pony-Rider's Mission.

There was an excited crowd gathered
about the Pony Express station at Nc.
Phersons. The western-bound rider had
arrived with bullet in his leg, and re-
ported that the Pawnees were of their res
ervation and were advancing on the settle
ment. He had met them between the last
station and McPhersons, and they had Civ
en- chase. McPhersons could boast of but
seventy-five souls at that time before the
railroad came. and there were but forty
men who were capable of defending the
place. Whatever was to be done had to
be done quickly. Fort Grattan was eighty
miles northwest, and a rider was despatch
ed in haste. Fort Kearney was seventy
miles southeast. and who would summon
aid from thereT 1t was a dangerous un-
dertaking. The route lay right through
the hostile country, and the messenger
wauld be almost sure to meet the Indians.
The pODy-riders, as general thing, were
fearless men, but this proposition was
frauSht with danger that they were 10th to
undertake it.

man. "ther'd be no hesitation while wimen
