State Fair.

The State Fair opens in Milwaukee next
Tuesday, September 7th, and continues till
Friday. Extensive preparation have been
made for fine exhibition of the products
Of the state. Considering the backward
ness of the season, the fair has been called
rather early, and in several departments
the display must be rather meagre. Corn,
for instance, will not be ripe, and many
varieties of fruit, including grapes, will not
be fit to exhibit.

His death has cast deep gloom over the
community in which he lived. In their
sad bereavement.the parents of the syonng
man have the profound sympathy OF
their friends. Of course the barn was
totally destroyed and besides the three
valuable horses, the barn contained a
large amount of hay, some 800 bushels of
wheat, considerable other grain, a buggy
and number of farming tools, all of which
were consumed with the building. We
learn there was no insurance on the prop
erty, policy in the Dodge County Mutual
having expired few days before.

Pedigree of Lulu, the Fast Trotter.

Lulu was ten years old last spring. She
was foaled in the spring of 1865, at Col.
Crocketts place in Scott county, Kentucky,
and when he removed to Rock Island he
brought the little three-year-old colt along.
Her sire was R. A. Alexander's noted horse,
Norman, the sire of the celebrated horse
Blackwood, and she breeds back through
long line of choice thoroug h-breds on both
sides. Her dam was Kate Crockett, she by
imported Hooton, Hooton By Despot. The
first dam of Hooton was q Catten mare:
second dam by Melrose, by Pilgarlic; thi rd
dam by Whisker; fourth dam by Orville.
Despot was by Sultan; first dam, Fanny
Davis, by Filho da Puta; second dam,
Treasurer, by Camillus. Sultan (the sire of
Bay Middletown) was the sire of Flying
Dutchman, winner of the Derby in 1849.
Kate Crockett s first dam was Old Mary by
Texas; second dam, Fanny Esier by Cons
Williams; third dam, Whipster by Old
Whip. Col. Crockett sold her to Joseph
Harker, Esq, of the Everett House stables,
81 East Thirty second street, New York
city, for $4,000 in 1871. Mr.. Harker is
her present owner, and Col. Crockett con-
graduates him upon the fame she bas won;
says be is not bit surprised at her time,
for he considers her the fastest trotter in the
world, and worth 100000. He is aware
that her best public record is 2:l5 and that
the Maids record is ala, but he says it
must be remembered that when the Maid
won that record she passed the score at the
start under her fastest gait. and that she
passed under the wire in the same way-an
advantage which turfmen will readily per-
ceive.

Hops.

The hop picking season has arrived once
more and this week nearly all the hop,
yards will be alive with busy fingered girls
and boys gathering thecrop. Many raisers
are preparing to pick their hops while they
are yet quite green, probably in fear of in
jury from frost. The yield of the Jefferson
County hop yards is larger than last year,
and the quality much better. Everything
at present looks favorable for the grower.

Dodge County Items.

JUNEAU, Sept. lst, 1875.
REpA1RIEe.-The Court House is under
going extensive repairs, new window
frames and an iron stairway being put IN
1t seems great pity that, instead of mend
ing the old hall. an entire new Court House
cannot be built, that will reflect some credi4
on the largest and richest agricultural
country in the State. The amount that
has been expended for the last ten years ON
the O d building would probably be suffc-
ient to putup an entire new one.
THREsHrNG. -Threshing machines are busy
in the county, and the yield realized u
larger than expected. We hear of Yields Of
oats from 70 to 80 bushels per acre, and cSf
wheat from 10 to 80.
MINOR ITEMs.-The warm weather of the
last week is just what is needed for ripen
ing corn, tomatoes, etc.
Mr.. Ira Metcalf, an old resident of Fox
Lake, died at that place last week, aged 81.
PoLIrlCAL.-A convention for electinp del
egates to the Democratic State Convention
at Milwaukee will be held on Friday nexr
at this place. The late revelations against
Gov. Taylor have created considerable ex-
citement in the Democratic stronghold of
Dodge and while the present Governor,
has friends, he has also not few opponents.
Quite number of the delegates from this
county will probably be against him, Sat
Clark being one of them.

The Richmond (Va.) lnqireeeis in IA
vor Of keeping the peace for two years as
the means to an end. It says, comment.
ing upon the Civil rights bill:
It will require all our vigilance, and
the very best plotting we are capable Of,
to tide over the coming two years; and
like the we'll disciplined crew Of staunch
ship, every man of US should set the ex-
ample of order by being the first to know
his place and keep it UNTIL THE CRISIS
HAS BEEN PASSED AND WE ARE SAFELY
MoORED IN THE DEMOCRATIC HARBoR
AGAIN.
The legitimate inference from which
is, that the election Of Democratic
President in 1875 will reopen all the food
gates of oppression 60 that negroes and
carpet-baggers may thereafter be treated
according to the Southern idea. Says the
Inquirer, in substance: let us preserve
the peace for two years in order that we
may break it with impunity thereafter;
let US maintain free speech for two years
in order that we may enforce it's prohibi.
ton thereafter; let us tolerate equal civil
and political rights until the Democratic
party is restored to rover, in order that
we may overthrow both under the forms
OF law. The civil rights bill is not to be
obcyed because it is law and expresses
the will Of the people, but because, in the
opinion Of the Inquirer, power may be
secured BY an apparent acquiescence;
and then that such power may be used
to defeat the object sought to be attained
by the measure. The conclusion Is r.
resistible that the white people Of the
South not only do not accept the result
OF the war as final. but that they are de-
termincd that negroes shall not, in fact,
pc free. They are laboring to practically
re-enslavc them, and they look to accom-
piish their purpose through the elevation
pf the Democratic party to power.-Intsr
