The Washington County Fair.

The Washington county agricultural So
ciety's fair and show, last week Thursday
and Friday, was very successful in every
thing but people and weather. There was a
heavy rain Thursday forenoon and afternoon,
aud continuous rain Friday, so that there
was very light attendance both days; but
in spite OF that the show Of cattle, sheep,
swine and poultry was the best the society
ever made. Agricultural hall was well filled
with butter, cheese fruits, vegetables, seeds,
grains, etc. And the ladies connected with
the society filled Floral hall in most
creditable manner, aud another thing which
was more to the point than anything else
was that the agricultural boss trot" was COM
pletely squolched the smqsh.up of last
year aud the thorough airing II had 10 the

Suicide.

Jacobs Prescott, a bachelor, b ad lived in
Lebanon or West Lebanon. n. H., for some
forty years or more. He was a hard .labOring,
honest man, aud was one Of those men who
are born to accumulate money. lie did
this by earning steadily, and never speeding.
Whatever he earned he saved and put on
interest. His economy was so rigid that it
might properly be called miserly, as it
led him to deprive himself of many things
which he actually needed for his own COM
fort when he could have no good reason for
such self-denial
Prescott was alone in the world, not
having to his own knowledge, single rela-
tive, near or distant. He has lived in the
family of Samuel Craft, Esq, of West Leba-
non, for more that thirty years. Most Of
this time he has labored on fixed salary,
more or less according to circumstances.
lie was generally we'll posted on current
events aud especially interested in politics.
He was, however, somewhat retiring in his
habits and was not not known much beyond
the immediate neighborhood. lie used to be
quite constant at church. and We have the
impression that he was a church member,
tnOuRn we are not ceTthln VI thhb. TUT
some years he had been quite feeble, and
had kept himself more closely at home
Aud more recently he has seemed partially
deranged. Under the influence Of this de-
rangement on the sabbath October ~ he
wandered to the Connecticut river and
plunged his head under water where he was
found dead. He was II years old. 1t ap.
peared at his funeral that Mr. Prescott had
made will disposng of his property which
is estimated at $4,000 or more.
After giving to any possible relatives
enough to prevent their breaking the will,
should any one turn up and attempt it, he
gave sums of a few hundred dollars EACH
to three or four neighborhood acquaintance;
to the town Of Lebanon $1,000 for the sup
port Of poor men to the church at West
Lebanon 81 800; to Tilden Ladies Seminary,
$1,000, and the balance of his estate more
or less, after paying the expenses Of his
funeral aud any personal debts that may
remain, to Miss Maud BurtOn, the young
daughter Of VIM z. Burton, Esq, postmas-
ter at West Lebanon. This balance may be
quite little fortune for the bright and
interesting little Miss, who seems to have
fallen under the shadow of the eccentric old
gentleman whose life we have so imperfectly
sketched. Peace DO to his ashes. His
cannot be regarded as useless life, after
all. Yet, it was surrounded by mystery, as
many lives are.

Hncendiary Fire.

A third attempt was made to burn
the Navy Department building, at
Washidgton, about six o'clock last
evening, The fire was discovered in
the Bureau of Steam Engineering, and
was suppressed after ten or twelve log
books had been destroyed. The at
tempt to burn the building on Monday
was made in the second story; nTues-
day it was mrde in the basement; and
last evening on the fourth floor. 1t
may be remembered that the Navy De-
partment building was damaged by
fire in the summer of 1873, when i'm
portant records were destroyed, Last
night the Secretary of the Navy, Ad-
.miral Reynolds, the Chief of Police of
Washington, Chief Clerk of the Navy
Department, and other officials, held q
consultation to divise measuresfo for the
protection of the building. The de-
tectives appointed to discover the an
condiaries are of opinion, with many
others in Washington that they are
persons interested in the destruction OF
the official records. Thus far there is
no clue to the Williams.

THE KHEDIvE's PRESENT.
A IRISH TO SEE THE DIAMONDS.

The announcement that the Khedives
magnificent wedding gift to Gen. sher-
mans daughter, was at the Collectors
office in N Y, yesterday drew an i'm
mense crowd of people, all anxious to see
them, and the rush became so great that
theotfice had to be closed.
We gave description of the present
in yesterdays Gazette.
Mr.. Teffany valued the jawels at
over $500, 600, No one has counted
them all, but it is supposed that there
are over 500 in the three pieces. Jamos
Fisk, Jr., paid duty on s2s, 900 on his
famous diamond, and it had a flaw in
it. There are seventeen diamonds in
the Khedive's present that are nearlylas
large again as Fish's diamond. Some
are little off color, but there are
others that are perfectly pure. To-day
they will be sent to 1iffany's, where
they are to remain on exhibition a few
days. They will then be forwarded to
St. Louis, where Mrs. Fitch resides.

NEW YORK, January GA special
from Annapolis, Maryland, says the
death of James R. Howison, q lawyer
of high standing, reveals system Of
missappropriation of funds by him
amounting to about one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. An examina-
tion of his accounts shows that he
robbed nearly every person of whose
funds he was custodian. Bishop
Odenheimcr, his father-in-law, loses
ten thousand dollars, and several Off
GERS and professors at the Naval Acad-
emy having money deposited with
Howison lost all.
Howison died ON the S0th of Decem-
Der last in the full confidence of the
community and his death caused
widespread sorrow. Several days
after rumors were rife of his defalca-
tions and the investigation since pur-
sued indicates the most stupendous
criminality.

Mn. JOHNSON Dear SIR j.:


/ observe in your paper of the eth
inst, q statement BY the officers Of the
Registery Bureau, Of the points In favor
of its continuance, when 1900 or 1900
citizens, who have to pay the expense
and feel the annoyance. have petition
ed to have the law repealed, as utterly
valueless in comparison with its
cost.
One advantage the Bureau has it
seems that the City Council have or
dered C3tg officer to prepare and have
signed petitions for sustaining the
lawsuits may suit the Bureau and
other city othcers--for it will be very
convenient to pay 0ut oJ the CITY Ieea.
sury, for petitions and hpyers to advo-
cate the law s--as was Gone at the last
session OF the Legislature, TO hay We this
Bureau law passed and law TO saddle
the people with 100000 of debt,
which was not needed at all, and par
ticularly these times, and am inform
ed the City Council, intend to ask the
Legislature TO allow tho Council TO
borrow $3.50 600 more-of course they
expect to pay bonus for getting the law
passed. Our City is sufficiently in
debt already without saddiing us with
more debt and more taxes.
The Reglstery Bureau, In my opin-
ion is as nearly useless as may be, except
to make snug place for three extra
officers lover and above the three en-
gineersJ at a cost of about $340O,' or
perhaps more, although in the report
to the Council the cost is set down at
only 600 or 700 dollars, which is no
doubt an unintentional deception.
Again this statement gives the idea
that it would save 500 600 In taxes,
If this was intended 1t is an unpar-
donable mistake of deception.
1t is also stated that 1t would help
the Board of Revision which does
evil enough now, without any further
help-why have Assessors if this
omnipotent Board, can sit at Q cost OF
500 or 800 dollars to rsassess, and /
know what say, when ! say without
justice or reason-putting much above
and some below u cash value. The
assessment last year, was at least 20 to
25 per cent. more than the cash value.
This Bureau was quietly obtained
so that one hundred people knew
nothing of it until long afterwards.
AS to the assessments, tho Assessors
| now get nearly $4,000, and the Collec
tors over 5000. Is this not sufficient
to have a thorough assessment Why
necessary to add over $1,000 more?
A LARGE TAX PAYER.
