Wisconsin State Fair.

The Wisconsin State Agricultural
Society will hold it's Annual Fair at
Milwaukee, from the 9th, to the 18th
of September next. Arrangements are
in preparation, for the best exhibition
of the products of the State, that has
ever been held in it. The crops are
good; the Dairy business extensive ;
stock raising is well developed; manu-
featuring is large, and nothing is want
ing to make the Fair of 1875, a great
success. 1t is important that our peo-
pie should attend we'll to the matter.

year. We acknowledge the receipt OF

THE MISSING BALLoONIsTs.- Pro
fessor Wise, the veteran aeronaut,
thinks the fate of Donaldson and his
companion canpot be determined for
two weeks to come. and he bases his
belief upon the case of Haddock and
Lamountain, who went up from Wa
tertown. n. Y, in 1859, and were
driven by hurricane over the dense
forests of Canada, where they alighted,
and were ten days in reaching any
place where they could telegraph their
srfety. He thinks Donaldson could
have risen above the tornado, or fail
ing for want of sufficient power, could
have kept before it till land was reach
ed. The Professor declared, he would
not hesitate for moment to have made
the ascent under similar circumstances;
in fact would prefer cyclone to mild
weather. The herbs and berries of
Canada are sufficiently nutritious to
sustain life, while opportunities would
occur from capture Of game. A writer
in the Philadelphia Times, who accom-
panied Donaldson in one of his trips
last summer, is convinced that a bal
loon properly constructed and furnish
ed with drag ropes could outsail the
limits Of any of the northern lakes,
and mentions an instance of Professor
King, with party oe five persons,
going almost the entire length of Lake
Erie in the dark, being over the water
eight hours. He says Professor Don
alison has more than once cut the bas-
ket away, and taken to the ring of the
arostadt, and would have done so in
this instance if unable to keep above
water otherwise
On the other hand, a spitualist of
Dubuque, named Barnes, has received
several communications from Donald
son in the spirit word, in which he re-
lates Enthusiastically his drowning
says that they chung to the balloon
until she rolled and the waves washed
them off, the balloon going up, and
they going down. This may he good
proof with some, but we prefer the
theory Of Professor Wise, till more
tangible proof shall decide the fate of
the aerial wanderers. Madison Journal.

NAPOLEON, when in the height of hize

The AGE OF TREEs.-A correspondent
of the New York Tribune writes: "Mi.
Nailor requests me to inform him
whether had ever counted the rings
in the growth of timber in order to
test whether each ring represents only
a years growth. l most cordially
comply with his request, and will say
that have, and am satisfied of its COR
rectness. But in order to be more
fully assured, (as l am about to l..,kc
record of my faith) l went to my
grove this afternoon, where l had or
dered some trees cut, and first counted
a chestnut stump cut in 1872, and
found by counting the heart stem Ca
mere pipe stem) as one year the rings
counted 81, and by adding Tie bark
would make 80, which would cores
pond with the age of the tree. ! then
counted two trees, cut to-day, which
numbered 33, adding the bark, makes
"a, these also corresponding with the
age of the trees. l therefore conclude
that with this variety of timber the
rule holds good, and presume it holds
equally good with most of all other
varieties. There is no tradition about
the time Of planting these trees, for l
know the year that bought the pro-
pcrty, (ls39) and | know the seed was
planted in 1910, the following spring.

FIGHTING AN ALIIG ATOR-MOnda at

the Okapilco Creek to seine the differ

railroad bridges. Nothing unusual
transpired on this occasion until late
III the afternoon, when, in seining a
deep lake formed by a bend in .tlle
channel of the stream, the seine be-
came so heavy and difficult to drag
that it was concluded that it was

!4um Devane, lad Is years of age,

the bottom, a distance of some six or
seven feet, he found what he supposed
to be a log, and embracing it started
to the surface of the water with il.

Seeing the danger Of their comrade
the rest of the party sprang to his re-
lief. Fortunately for Devanc he was
upon the outside and the alligator was
upon the inside of the seine, which,
being strong and firmly held at each
end, somewhat impcded the vicious
reptile in his attack. This, together
with the prompt and fearless action
