TRl NPS.

The Department Of Agriculture
gives some interesting statistics in
regard to the prices paid for farm
labor i'll different sections of the
country. The decrease in the month
ly rates of wages without board) of
farm laborers engaged by the year,
from 1869 to 1875, in various sections
of the country, is as follows: East
ern States, from 5000 to S29; Mid
die States, 500. Is to S26.98. Western
States, $27.01 to $685., and Cali
fornia, S46.3S to 400. In Pennsyl-
yania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois the
average falling off was much less
than that above indicated. Monthly
wages, with board, are from IS to so
below the quoted rates, and show
about the same decrease compared
with 1869. Wages per day for trans
lent service in the South touch the
low point of y cents to S1.15, while
in Michigan they are $500, IN Min
nesota, $3.50, and in Wyoming, 1892
with board in every case. The aver
age in the Middle and New England
States is not far from $50, with
board. The New York Journal Of
Commerce thinks these are not bad
rates in hard times for common, UNI
skilled laborers, and that while n
man cannot soon get rich at such
work he can save himself from starry
ing, and if frugal he can pocket all
the wages as clear gain at the end of
his engagement. And yet the country
is reported full of tramps, who
wander about eating the bread of
idleness, and committing depreda-
tions of various kinds. When brought
up to be dealt with as Migrants they
invariably tell a pitiful tale of their
long and unavailing search for work
while in reality almost every farmer,
especially at this season of the year,
would be glad of their services, and
would willingly pay them fair wages
therefor. If this nuisance is contin-
ued the States will undoubtedly soon
enact stringent laws to prevent them
from going about the country fright
ening women and children with
their imperious demands for food
and money, and in some cases COM
hitting outrages and robberies.

CROSS C1RELESSyEsS

A lamentable occurrence, the re-
suit Of gross carelessness, causing
loss Of human life, has been brought
to light in Baltimore. 1t appears
that well-known physician of that
while attending child for scarlet
fever, had occasion to "mop /" its
throat with a camel's hair brush and
in 50 doing the brush became detach-
ed from Il pen-holder which had been
inserted in the quill handle and pass
ing into the windpipe caused the
death Of the little one from suffoca-
ton ten minutes later. The mother
Of the child asserts that when the
brush became detached the doctor be
came excited and Immediately plung-
ed his hand into the child mouth to
recover it. This the physician de-
mics, asserting that when the brush
became detached it was lying or the
child's tongue, and he could readily
have secured it had not the mother
become excited, and in her frantic
efforts to obtain it, pushed it further
down the child's throat. \ singular
feature of the case is that the physi-
elan in giving certificate Of death,
gave the cause as scarlet fever. He
did SO, he says, because the child had
been suffering with that disease, and
he did not deem it necessary to enter
into any explanation in regard to the
accident. which he admits was the
immediate cause of death.

THE BALLOON ASCENSION.
No HUMBUG THIS TIME.

'Fhtre pl, asure ina lively trip, when
sailing through the air,
The word is given, let her go to land
| know not where
The Directors of the Agricultural
Association are determined to make
the coming fair success if hard
work, indomitable energy and perse-
yerance and an attractive programme
will do it, and it is generally conceded
-thata combination Of such elements
is bound to win. They have CON
tracted with Prof. John y. Sharer,
an Aercnaut of Reading, Pa, to
make two balloon asceiisions during
the four days Of the fair. The bal
loon is not to be hot-air bubble but
will be filed with gas, and tile Pro-
fessor will visit the clould-land and
take ride of several miles through
the air. He is also a gymnast. and
will as he goes up perform on the
trapeze bar and hangby his feet head
downwaras at an altitude of 900
feet in the air. We clip the following
from a two-column account in the
Williamsport Pa, Gazette, of an as
cension recently made by the Prof.
in that city:
Let 90 everybody !" was sounded
by Sharef in the voice Of a Stenter.
The great crowd was swinging back
and forth in the impetuosity of ex-
citement like mighty wave. The
noise was like that which Bull Run
Russell says greeted his ears when
the doors Of the Vienna Exhibition
were opened to him. All instructive
~ obeyed the commands Of the Pro
fessor, and as it assembled Slowly, the
air was rent with bursts Of the LOUD
est applause, only to be lnlled into
painful silence as he cleared the
house-tops and performed some of the
most thrilling and daring feats upon
the trapeze that our people had ever
seen at that altitude.
Until over a thousand feet he could
be seen swinging by one hand, and
then by a sudden movement he re-
gained the trapeze bar and balanced
himself upon it, His next feat was
to lie in horizontal position upon
the bar, and swinging himself sud-
denly around, he caught with his feet
and hung with his head toward the
ground. Several other equally as
dangerous feats were performed,
when he assembled into the hoop and
commenced DOMINIC his clothes.

something Like sunstroke.

Yesterday about noon, when the
mercury was up in the nineties, Mr..
William Stewart, of this place, was
returning from his brothers on Tus-
carora, with drove of cattle, and
was suddenly taken with something
like a sunstroke, falling off his horse
in an unconscious state, receiving
two very severe wounds above the
right eye from the fall. We are glad
to learn that his condition is not now
dangerous.

FAIR NOTES,

1t is every citizens duty to work
to make the Fair a success.
Neither political, social or personal
enmity can justify opposition to the
interests of the Berkeley County Ag-
ricultural Fair.
Whatever is calculated to advance
the interests of agriculture shonld
interest the Changers, and nothing
VIII accomplish this better than a
well-regulated and successful fair.
Every lady should take an interest
in making the household department
Of the fair attractive and creditable.
Remember it viii, either speak for or
against the household skill of the
mothers and daughters of Berkeley.
IN proportion to the success of the
Fair does it testify to the credit of
the People Of Berkeley and adjoining
counties, Saa in proportion as it lacks
success, viii it testify to our discredit
az a Thrifty, eaterprising people.
Every artisan and business man
Should make il their business to ex-
bihit their manufactures and goods
II the fair, so that the people may
have M opportunity of comparing
aud Judging ~ their competency and
usefalne~s.
