S0"" oehtnet ana Republican -
Ine storm Is always succeeded by q
calm. Since the county fair our town
mas reassumed its wouted quiet, aud
the different branches of industry and
business are going on as usual. No
body appears to be drtuen with business.
though We hear little Complaint Of dull
ness The factory in the suburbs of
OF cur town is doing large business in
the handle-trade, and employs quite a
number Of men. They turn out = mag
nIhcient quality of stock and appear to
be crowded with orders. The gentle
manly proprietorr, Messrs Brusher l.
Beatty, are men of energy, and evi-
IDENTIFY understand their business.
Speaking of the fair notwithstand
ing tie incIemehcy of the weather the
ialr was a complete success. The dis
play far excelled that of any previous
exhibition held in the county. and the
Managers are determined to place the
institution on such a basis as shall
make 1t the pride and boast OF all, ir-
respective Of locality. With the ex-
oeption of few violations of the Lo-
cal Option Law, good order prevailed.
One thing noticeable was the entire
absence from the grounds of any gam.
bling apparatus, lotteries, or dealers in
pinchback jewelry, for which the man
ayers are to be commenced. The Per-
rysville Cornet Band furnished the
music during the continuance of the
exhibition. They were assisted by Mr..
Robinson, from MIfflintown, who plays
cornet very finely.
There was sprinkling of politicians
on the ground, each urging his own
claims, amongst whom we noticed the
Hon. Jerome Hetrick and Hon. George
NJ. Sucker. Mr.. Smoker created .
favorable impression by his unassuming
and modest department.
General Langhorne Wister, Repub-
liean candidate for Congress, paid US a
flying visit on Friday, and met with
hosts of friends. He is a very plea
SAINT gentleman, and carries h,mself
very modestly. He has splendid mil.
itary record. Entering the service in
1861 as Captain in the celebrated
"BucktaiI Rifles" be served with that
Regiment until September. 1862, when
he resigned to accept the Colonelcy of
the l50th Pa. Vols. At Gettysburg
the Regiment met the enemy in deadly
earnest, and 1t was then that General
Wisier won a reputation for gallantry
which any man might be proud Of
General Stone, commanding the Bril-
gade, having gone forward to recon-
noitre, was shot in the hip and arm by
the enemy's skirmishers. The com
mand of the Brigade then devolved
upon Wister, and while calamity lead
ing bayonet charge against & power
full body of rebel infantry he was Sc
verely wounded BY ball passing into
The side of his face and out at his
mouth. Though faint from the loss of
blood, and unable to speak, the gallant
General would not leave the field until
that part If the line was firmly estab-
lished. The General is man of fine
business qualifications, keen observer
of passing e-ents, is prominently ideu-
ti6ed with the mechanical and indus
trial interests of our State, and We feel
confident the people OF this district
have already decided upon him as our
in the next Congress.
But, Mr. Editor, find | have wan
dered SO far from my subject that |
shall Mt be able to get back this time,
and shall have 70 close.
Yours, truly,
