Pristol, Oct. 10th 1850.

The Society held Show and Fair at Jackson's
Tavern this day. The weather was very uniavera-
bic, having stormed during the past mig ut, fol-
lowed by drizzllng rain during the day with
strong south wind. Notwithstanding this there
was goodly attendance. 1t was judged that
there were from five to six hundred persons pres
ent. There was good show of horses, cattle,
sheep swine butter, cheese, carpets, yarn, pIows,
fruit, vegetables, and many articles worthy of
attention manufactured by the mechanics of Ken
osha.
The premiums offered at this faic ranged from
fifty cents to two dollars. Rather small, but a
good beginning, and the seed from which has
grown the splendid ones now offered by the same
society.
There was an g Exchange Fair at Dutton's
Tavern, Feb. 18th, 1851 to give of articles
and others opportunity to buy, sell or exchange
among themselves In spite of the cold and
stormy weather, there were six hundred in at
tendance, snd much excitement prevailed.

The First Finger Ring.

An amusing myth is told of the origin:
of the finger ring. When Jovc released
Promctheus from the bonds by which he
had been confined he condemned him, as II
sort of pcnance-perhaps somewhat after
the fashion Of modern ticket-of-eave, to
wear upon his finger as ring link of the
iron chain that had bound him to the Cati-
casian rock, in which was set fragment of
that rock itself. In this way, so fable goes;
the custom Of the finger ring originated
There is every reason to believe that this
use of the engraved stone began with the
Greeks and from them was copied by their
servile imitators, the Romans. 1t is every
way convenient and natural one, and
our grandfathers' custom of wearing their
seals at the fob, as it was called or hang
ing from the side pocket, was recurrence
to old Assyrian usages, which did not long
hold its ground

The Harm the Innocent Old Lady Did.

The Detroit Free Press says: She lives
down on Baker street, and she has daugh-
ter about eighteen years old. The old lady
retains all her simplicity and innocence, and
she dosen't 90 two cents on style. The
other evening, when splendid catch
called to escort the daughter to the opera,
the mother wouldn't take the hint to keep
still, and wouldn't help carry out the
daughters idea that they had wealth.
While helping her daughter get ready she
asked
Marry, are you going to wear the shoes
with one heel off, or the pair with holes in
'em p
Mary didn't seem to hear, and the mother
inquired care you going to wear that
dollar gold chain and that washed locket,
or will you wear the diamond father bought
at the hardware store p
Mary winked at her, and the young man
blushed, but the old lady went on: care
you going to wear Mrs. Browns shawl, or
will you wear mine p
Mary hustled around the room, and the
mother said ''Be careful of your dress,
MdTN YOU huOW It's TIC Ohl OiiC SOu We
got, and you can't have another until the
mortgage on this place is lifted
Mary remarked to her escort that it
promised to be beautiful evening, and as
she buttoned her glove her mother asked
"Those are Mrs. Hardy's gloves, amt they!
She's been a good neighbor to us, and
don't know how you would manage to sc
anywhere if she didn't live near us.
Mary was hurrying to get out of the
room, when the mother raised her voice
once more asked: did you run into Mrs
Jewett's and borrow her bracelet and fan
Yes, [ see you did, Well, now you look
real stylish, and l hope you'll have gooc
time"
Mary sits by her window in the pal'
moonlight and sighs for the splendid youns
man to come and beau her around some
more, but he hasn't been seen up that way
since that night The old lady, too, say
that he seemed like nice young man, anC
she hopes he hasn't been killed by the stree
cars.

Wooden Shoes for Farmers.

A novel enterprise has recently been
started by Il. w. Shipper, of Meadville.
Pa, in the manufacture of wooden shoes
for the use of farmers and others compel
led to be out of doors Most Of fhe machi-
merry is the result of his own mechanical
ingenuity, costing several thousand dollars;
and capable of turning out hundreds of
pairs per day. Wooden shoes are well
adapted for the use of farmers about the
barn yards or driving in the COWS in the
morning when the grass is wet also, wo-
men in the garden, milking yard, scrubbing
or at the wash tub. Not that we suppose
that they will supersede leather shoes where
persons do much walking, but to be used
as person does pair of overalls of com
mon clothing, thus saving their better ones
and having dry feet. Parties who are now
using them inform us they give entire salts

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Fathers Dreadful Work.

AUBURN, n. Y, Sept. ia terrible
tragedy occurred in the town of Venice, in
this county, yesterday. At about six \.
NJ. Harrison Andrews, an old man 80
years of age, went to the sleeping room of
his son, aged 10 years, who was asleep, and
dealt him two murderous blows with a
hacthet. The second blow crushed through
the skull and probably injured the brain.
He then aroused his two daughters, and
shot one of them through the abdomen
with revolver, inflicting severe though
not necessarily fatal wound. The girls
escaped from the house and aroused the
neighbors Andrews then poured a Quantity
of oil on the carpet and set fire to the house,
and ended by committing suicide, shooting
himself through the head. The neighbors
extinguished the fire, and procured medical
attendanc for the wounded The son will
hardly recover. No motive for the atrocious
deed is known Andrews had violent
and ungovernable temper.

Speech of a Mississippi Editor.

At reception to an excursion party OF
Mississippi editors, at Buffalo, \. Y last
week, Mr.. S. III. Stackhouse, OF the Haxel-
hurst Copiahan, made the following reply
to the address of welcome: 'When the
Queen of Sheaba visited old man Solomon S
dominions in the ancient time, flew over
his hills and dales in his lightning railroad
trains, sailed over his great lakes III his biS
steamers, rode upon his keel boats as they
plowed his canals, examined critically his
farms and machine shops, she finally made
her way to his headquarters and formerly
interviewed the thrifty old autocrat OF all
the Jews and in that interview candor
constrained her to acknowledge that al
though she had heard much of his great
ness and magnifcencc, yet the half had not
been told her. So it is with US, fellow
citizens of Buffalo, in reference to this
tremendous country you have got. We
have heard great deal about you. We
have read much concerning you In your
big newspapers, of your thrift, your push,
YOUR genius, enterprise, wealth, progress
and irrepressibility. But now since We
have traversed considerable scope of your
grand domain, we are, like the Queen OF
Sheba. forced to acknowledge that the halt
has not been told us We are not going
into any war with you fellows. If we had
known how confounded numerous you
were-what vast resources you had-what
nation of git up and gitters you are-we
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1875-09-23

should never have been guilty of The
absurdity of trying to whip you in the first
place. Now that we have seen for ourselves,
and COTTON some sort of an iC ca of the mag
nitude of the job of cleaning you out, we
consider that another war on our side
would be preposterous and ridiculous, and
we arc for peace. Yes, fellow citizens of
Buffalo, we are here in the intest of peace
God like peace In the glowing langu
age of the inspired psalmist, "Peace hath
her victories no less renowned than war.
We believe in peace. We are quite ready
to be harmonized. And [ am glad to be
able to say that everywhere we have been
in the North and West we have met cor
dial welcome and kindly greeting. Nobody
has made faces at us We have felt o. X.
all the time The railroads have dead
headed us and given us the finest drawing
room cars to sleep in. The hotels reduced
their rates, and some of them didn't have
the heart to charge us all. We have been
well fed at all your eating institutions where
We have stopped. In some place they
wincd us and they dined us, rode us out
in carriages and showed US the sights
mades peeches to us. serenaded us with their
brass bands, etc, etc. We have had just
splendid time of it. The ladies God
bless EN-, always have smiled upon us, and
the men have sometimes even gone to the
extent of asking us to take drink. That
last is the capstone to the climax of re-
conciliation. Hear, hear ] The true
road to a Mississippi editors heart is to
invite him to take drink with you. If
that don't harmonic him-if that don't
capture him-if that don't bring peace to
the land and save the country, nothing else
on earth will.

Some time ago farmer living near Mil
lerstown purchased one hundred grains of
peculiar brand of wheat which had been
imported from Egypt. having been grown
in the valley of the Nile, and for which he
paid one dollar-at the rate of one cent per
grain. This year he planted the grains six
inches apart, and the yield has been even
more prodigious than was expected. From
these one hundred grains of wheat he has
harvested eleven hundred cars, for which
he readily found a market at one dollar
per ear. Thus from an investment of one
dollar he makes profit of eleven hundred
dollars in a single year.

John Thompson, of Pottstown, q few
days ago, noticed something that seemed to
be fine string moving upon the ground.
On attempting TO pick it up, it parted at
the point touched, and was found to con-
sist of a number of very small worms, not
more than q quarter of an inch long. On
closer examination he discovered thas thc
string was composed of myriads of these
little worms, that were chnging to each
other while on the march. And now he
wants to know to what species they belong,
and where they came from.

DIR. Hollinbach recently extracted from
the head of William Coils, Mt. Carmel,
Schuylkill county, two bullets which were
lodged there ten years ago, when Coils,
who was on his way West with several
hundred dollars, was attacked and robbed
by two men, near Perryville, shot twice in
the head, pounded with stones, stripped,
and covered up for dead with brush IN a
small ravine. The bullets have remained
in his head ever since, and were found i'm
bedded in the skull above the temporal
bone, where they were fiattened out They
weighed about an eighth of an ounce each
and were located about an inch apart.
