Editors OF the Register:
vol The Belmont County Fair opened at
St. Clairsville on Tuesday of this week,
and from the preparations made prom
ised to be u grand affair. Every one had
for some time previous, been looking
anxiously forward to the commencement
day. The rain of Monday night and
Tuesday morning cooled the atmosphere,
laid the dust and led us to feel happy in
the prospect of a days relief from the in
tolerable heat of which we had been
complaining. The track was in excellent
condition, the grass fresh and green, and
everything promised enjoyment for all.
The entries on the first day were quite
numerous. Yesterday the sky was over
clouded all day, and the threatening rain
which did not fall till night, doubtless
accounted for the slim attendance on the
grounds.
The Fair Grounds are beautifully stu
ated in close proximity to the town, and
are tastefully arranged. There seemed
TO be no scarcity of refrcshment stands,
wnere one could obtalu II goo d, square
meal at reasonable rates. Such was not
formerly the case.
THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT
WAS the centre of attraction during the
day. 1t contains much that is useful as
we'll rs ornamental The ladies here
have shown much taste and skill in dec
Grating this place.
There area large number of horses en-
tered. many of which have done some
good trotting and pacing on other courses
in their time, and from the expressions
of those present, we were led to expect
good time later in the day when the
races would begin.
The display of agricultural implements
is not large. What is on the ground,
however, comes up TO the standard of eH-
ccllency.
There are on the ground some fine
specimens of poultry, which, we were in
| formed. came from Cadiz, Ohio.
There is also on the ground quite a
number of sheep cattle, and oxen, which
attracted some attention.

Is THIS A LITTLE GAME!
A Parish Judge Arrested for
Forgery.

In the winter Of 1872 Mr. G. ". Warren
then Sheriff Of the prish Of Webster, duly
elected by the people had occasion to carry
to the State Penitentiary number of prison
ers convicted of different offenses against the
peace. He performed his mission. and, Oh
his return to his parish, as usual presented
his account for payment.
After an examination into the different
items the police jury ordered that it be paid.
and accordingly it was done. The Sheriff,
Mr. Warren, thought nothing more of the
matter until sundry rumors reached his ears
that the same account Of $50 had been
audit d by Clinton and paid by the State
Treasurer. Whereupon Mr.. Warren at once,
on his arrival in this city "A short time since,

On repairing to the Auditors office, Mr.
Warren discovered that one Il. B. Taylor had
managed to get three warrants drawn up, and

RELEASED ON BOND.
How Is This I!

Mrs. Emily Adams, the negro prisoner, was
yesterday released on bail from her confne-
ment in the Parish Prison. These facts have
reached us at late hour, and in consequence
we could not learn the amount Of her bail
DR.. Potter, however, we understand, was her
bondsman. That such woman as this tiend
Adams should be allowed to run loose upon
this community is not only matter of much
surprise, but is, to say the least, peculiar.
From the evening that she first attempted
to poison the family of Mr.. Vidou, full parti-
culars of which were published in the BULLE-
TIN, reporter Of this paper has devoted
t me and attention to this case, and has
worked up successfully the causes which led
to the tiendish deed, together with the
past history. In fact, SO clear case
was made out til 1t her conviction on the
charges preferred are assured. For the present
we ave this case, but our respects will be
paid TO it more fully at an early date.

THE ELECTION IN VICKSBURG
Success of the White Mans Party.
Especial to the Bulletin. |


Notwithstanding the many reports current
that a collision would occur on election day,
we ere glad 70 say that everything passed off
more quietly than ever before. From early
mcru the white voters rallied and until the
close of the POLLS there was no diminution of
interest.
The negroes. evidently restrained by the
determined attitude Of the opposition, failed
to make the demonstrations intended
The vote was the largest ON both sides ever
polled There was quiet on the streets all
day, and never before has such peaceable
election been held.
At this hour all appreciate fully the situation
and there is no question but what every one
will abide by the results. The white people
elect mayor, city officers and all the aldermen,
by fully 800 majority. The white cause has
reason for congratulation.

The bowling of the Americans in the game

that playing the Americans at base ball and

Attorney General himself, that nothing has
passed between him and the President upon the
subject.
True, the Attorney General did recommend GER

reduced the expenses OF many judicial districts

expedient to enact such law, the Attorney
General does not hold i, to be any cause for him
TO tender his resignation.
Regarding his probable appointment to the

killed al o. them. When Mr. and Mrs. Hammet
returned he also killed them, and set fire to the
house, hoping to cover all traces of his terrible
