Under this head we may as well say
that Mr.. o. f. Peck has this year gone
in to win, whether at town or county
fair, or oxen, pumpkins, sugar or tall
corn. There is of course no doubt as
to his sugar standing first anywhere,
but We are rather inclined after
all to award Mrs. Peck the first premi-
um for her cake frosted SO nicely with
this same sugar, feat with maple sugar
that we do not remember to have heard
of before in the domestic and culinary
arts. Mr.. Charles c. Peck also had a
tub of very nice white sugar indeed il
would be rare to find it equaled.

"a most terrible punishment was iufic-

ierdsy. A deaf and duGb daughter Of Al
fred Smith, of Green Bay. on her return
home for vacation FROM the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum at Delsvan, was approached on the
train by a travelling salesman of jewelry,
named Howe, who made himself agreeable,
and subsequently, addressed Der a letter,
making improper proposals. The letter
fell into the hands of the father, who kept
the appointments in place of his daughter.
Going to Howe's room at the Beaumont
House, il locking the door behind him, so that
there should be no escape, he administered
to him most tremendous ;hrashiog. Howe
first drew pistol, but this the angry ia.
ther seized and threw away. lie then jump
ed on the wretch aud pounded him, threw
him down, knocked, kicked, and flung him
arouud in the most terrible manner. The
blood strewed carpet, bed aud walls, and
Howe was so baily punished that it was at

however, uDder the care of ply siciaus, in q

Governor Kemper on the Third
Term Question.

The Richmond Enquirer of the End
inst, contains long letter from Governor
kemper, explanatory of certain private let
tiers to Colonel john s. Mosby, relative to
General Grant and the third term, ard to
bis visit 10 the President 10 . ccmber last.
He opposes asthird term, but say-, s'if
the future should bring forward a candidate
impersonating the third term principle he
should cut loose from old party tramme,s
and take his stand on our safe 'nservative
ground of universal reconciliation and peace
under the Constitution, aud If so standing
be should be opposed by any champion of
the civil lights iniquity, then, in contest
between the two, the Conservative party
ought, in my opinion, 10 go decidedly, but
as an organized party and not otherwise,
tor the third term, yet with protest on
their lips against the third term principle
and in spite Of that principle" In regard to
his visit TO Washington, he s1ys that in re-
spouse to an expressed desire conveyed to
bin orally that be would call and see the
President, he, after advising with num-
Der Of able and leading Conservatives, made
up his mind to make the call. He went
and had a manly aud square talk with the
President, aud says, while he would not so
violate propriety as to allude to particulars,
yet he regrets that every word that pissed
between them could not have been taken
down and published, for its publication
would have done credit to both, and no dis
credit or horn to any part Of the country
CT people.
In letter 10 Mosby dated august II, last,
he ha,,o
third and the seventh term than 10 be under
hughes and his negroes To US the defeat of
negro rule here is TO society aud decent ex-
istence TO save us from barbarism and ruin
Surely General Grant and all Northern gentle
men know that our white men, including over
$4,000 ex-Confederate braves in Virginia are
the real moral, intellectual and political power
OF the State, if not of the whole South, are i'm
plic,ly to be relied on, and are invaluable as
