Agricultural & Mechanical Fair.


Mr.. HARPsR In your last issue proposition
was made TO establish permanently an Agricul-
'ural aud Mechanical Fair ~ some convenient
point for Pendieton, Hardy, Grant, Miasral an a
Hampshire counties. Such sproPosition deserves
the serious confederation Of tho Farmers, Fruit
and Stock-Growers Mechanics and Manufactur-
ers OF the counties lying ie tt;s Valley. What
ever promotes improved agriculture aud N anu
features in country is the insirumentali,y direct
aud necessary for its healthy and material pro-
gress. II the competition Of annual fairs can lead
our people TO feel and practically illustrate the
important truth. thstit Is he true economy 10 pro
d'ies or bgy ne best in cereals, fruits, stocks i'm
piements, &c--,hat competition ought to be had
as soon as possible, and its results vii! prove
hereafter Of incalculable benefit to our whole
community. Judgment, enterprise, and proper
lioerality in organizing aud putting on @ perma-
nent basis an Annual Fair, may secure to our
Valley advantages that the most hopeful can
scarcely anticipate. H.NPsuIRx

METHODIST GENERAL CoSFERENcR.-In the Cen
eral Conference Of the ". f. Church South on
Friday last the Committee on Fraternsl Relations
with the Northern Church reported that il is
deemed proper, for the attainment Of the object
sought, To guard against all NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
II declare that organizations are not involved
in fraternity.
In our opinion of he subject the reasons Cor
the separate existence of the two branches Of
Meihodists are such as to make corporate union
undesirable and inpractcable The causes
which led TO n division In 1874 have not disap-
peared. Reference is made to the Inconvenience
OF ORGANIZING proper basis OF Representation 10
the General Conference aud tn the difference in
power claimed by the two branches MS inherent
to the General Conference on the subject Of
slavery.
The Conference negatived the proposition 20
eject two additional bishops. II also resolved
that preachers cannot be kept in one charge lon
ger than four years, without violation of the
discipline. The Conference adjourned on Tues
day last, to re-assemble four years hence at At
ltuta, Georgia.

THE GENEVA AWARD.

General Butler fought good fight in
the House on "Wednesday in favor OF his
substitute for the Geneva Award bill. Let
us give him credit for this though we do
not approve of many of his acts. Gen
eral Buffers substitute makes an end of
the claims of insurance companies upon
the award, leaving it to 60 into the hands
of owners of vessels who lost shipping by
the rebels, where we believe it should 90.
The insurance companies claim share in
the award as they would claim all right to
any portion of wreck or cargo saved
which they had insured; the owners OF
vessels claim it as reparaton for dam
ages forced upon them by war for which
they were not responsible. The insurance
companies took their risk voluntarily,
making their rates to cover all contem-
plated loss and more, so that upon the
whole they made more money than they
lost by their war business. Whether they
made or Lost money however does not al
ter the fact that they were not compelled
to insure vessels against the rebels, and il
they did insure twas Of their own volition.
for what they considered fun pecuniary
equivalent. On the part Of the owners
there was no chance to escape the calamity
Of the war. 1t came and they had to &C
cept its results. Their property was ex-
posed because the government was as
sailed. They had no option in the matter
as the insurance companies had, either to
accept or reject the risks Of the war. but
they were obliged to take them. for if they
hauled up, their vessels they suffered loss
from the inactivity and decay of their
property. The insurance companies took
