The Fair comes early this year, and
only two weeks remain for preparation.

best produce, their best articles, nothing
will be lacking 10 make it satisfactory.

efficient superintendent, and it is hoped
that the ladies will make it more at
tractive than ever before. Your arti-

thing possible will be done to make the

babies will again compete for premiums,
and suitable arrangements will be made

will be devoted exclusively to the Fair.
The last day will be given to the races,

soldiers in this vicinity will meet, on
this day, for reunion and drill.

BUTTER AND CHEESE.

There will be very large amount of
butter and cheese in the hands of pro-
ducers, that will be put upon the mar
ket in the next two months, and the i'm.
portant question TO be decided by the
holders of these products is For what
prices shall these articles be sold? A
few facts in relation to the matter may
be worth reading. The season has been
unusually favorable for the production of
large amount of butter and cheese.
Abundant feed and much cool weather
have prevailed in Vermont and in other
dairy sections. The late rains will
make fall feed excellent, and a large
yield will be had during the next two
months. The high prices obtained for
butter and cheese, during the last few
years, have caused many to 90 into dai-
ry farming, and there is no doubt but
that the number Of dairy cows is great
err in Vermont than heretofore. The
West is also in the market with better
kind Of butter than formerly. so the con-
clusiOn must be arrived at, that there
will be an immense amount Of butter Of
fered for sale during the fall months.
On the other hand, what of the demand
Throughout the New England manufac
turing towns business is terribly dull,
and large number Of laborers are out
of employ during the summer months
These will not have means to supply
themselves during the winter to come
with suficiency Of the necessaries O
life, much less the luxuries, and anon,
the things that they cannot afford u
buy. will be butter and cheese. Other
who may have means. will economic
and they will use less of the luxuries o
life than heretofore. If a market out
side Of New England is sought, it mus
be either New York or foreign. Nev
York is glOOmier and poorer than Me-
England, and there is great want of en-
Ployment and great depression of bus
ness. The foreign market is nothin
at present, and the future prospect
relation to it is such as not to be at a
fattering so there is not much to
hoped for outside of New England.
is impossible to tel what turn the ma
ket will take during the fall but fro
the present outlook there is nothing
indicate that very high prices will
realized for butter and cheese.

THE HAY CROP.

The bright and beautiful weather of
last week was we'll improved by the far
mers. The large amount Of uncut grass
was cured and put in the barns, and
much ripe grain was cut and garnered.
The hay crop has been heavy, though
considerably injured by rains and bad
weather. The grain crop is somewhat
injured by rust and storms, but will be
an average. The unfavOrable hay wealth
er experienced since the last of July is
nothing uncommon for the season, and
farmers who have not learned already
that the first part of the hay season is
usually best, may remember that fact.
The days grow shorter, the nights Ion.
ger, the dew is heavier. and there is
generally more fog. clouds and storm in
August than July. The best way To
strike haying is to strike early and strike
hard. A little lack Of growth is more
than compensated by a better quality
Of hay, and the long hot days of june
are much better for curing hay than the
damp and muggy days of August.

Turkish troops have landed at Kleck,
but refuse to march to MOstar, because
the insurgents occupy the mountain
passes ON the route. The garrison of
Trebigue in Herzegovina made sortie,
Wednesday, but were repulsed; the in
surgents burned several villages during
the engagements. Letters from Belgrade
express fear that Prince Milan will
shortly be expelled from Servia.
The London Times commenting on the
Turkish situation says: While we think
the success of the rebellion would be
calamity at the present time, because it
might precipitate disruption of the
Ottoman empire and plunge Europe into
a mighty war, we cannot blame the peo-
pie for seeking to throw off an intolera-
bic yoke.

A Pennsylvania TRAGEDY.

The funeral of Mrs. Phillip Bessinger
and her three children, whose death by
drowning occurred at Reading, Pa, Tues
day. took place on Friday. The circum-
stances of their death were quite pecul-
lar and excited great public interest
in the funeral. Bessinger is saloon
keeper at Reading, and his family con-
sisted of a wife ard three small children,
a boy and two girls. Lately, there has
been considerable difficulty between him
and his wife. caused by his over fond
ness for an unmarried Philadelphia wo-
man whom he frequently had at his
house. On Monday, the husband and
wife quarreled on this account. He final
ly offered her $4,000 if she would leave
him, she to take the two girls, and he
to keep the boy, and threatened to drive
her off if she didn't go of her own ac-
cord. She became much depressed at
the prospect of separation from one of
her children, and on Tuesday, taking
the three children with her, she went to
the canal, about two miles and a half
from the city, bound basket filled with
stones to her waist, took child under
each arm, clasping the third to the heart
and jumped in. All were drowned be-
fore assistance could reach them. AS
soon as the facts became known public
indignation was strongly excited against
Bessinger, and a detachment of police
was detailed to guard his house. On
the day of the funeral a large crowd
were in attendance, no less than fifty
men, it is said being armed with pistols
for the avowed object of shooting him.
He was guarded by the police all the
way to the grave and back, and as fur
Their protection, the coffin containing the
little boys body was placed in the car
rage with him, When the bodies had
been lowered into the grave the crowd
hOoted at Bessinger and number Of
women endeavored to get at him. One
shot was fired at him without effect
He was instantly hustled into his car
riage and driven of. Another shot was
fired at him in passing the gate, and
is supposed to have struck him, as he
was carried from the carriage into the
house. Great indignation still exists
and lynch law continues to be freely
talked of

They now have Jesse Pomeroy in
San Francisco. There is boy, Harry
Rogers by name, who has just been sent
to the Industrial School for torturing
little child three years old. He had in
Weighed the child into barn, and. par
tally covering it with gunDy sacks. he
cut and hacked its hips in terrible
manner with bit of sharp-edged bone,
inhicting nineteen wounds, and finishing
by cutting off one of its ears. The
boys ''mania" began to show itself two
years before, when he was several times
caught torturing chickens with bits of
glass till they died, unmindful of the
wounds his own fingers received during
the operation and later he manifested
disposition to pinch and bite his COM
panions for no apparent cause. When
asked why he did these things, he said
he ''could not help it" The boy pre-
sents no marked peculiarities of appear
ance, is said /; is not generally regarded
as bad boy, and is especially lacking
in the under jaw, generally supposed to
indicate blood-thirsty disposition
This is indeed curious case, more sin
gular far than that of the Pomeroy boy ;
and it is to be hoped that it win receive
most careful investigation and study.
This mania for blood in children is get
ting to be altogether too common

BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA.

Among the obscure geographical
names that have suddenly started into
prominence during the present year is
that Of Herzegovina. This is a prov
nee Of the Ottoman Empire, it and Bos-
MIA forming the extreme northwestern
corner Of that Empires dominions in
Europe wedge-shaped district thrust
into an angle Of the Austro Hungarian
territories. These two provinces are
mountainous. Astounding in forests and
difficult mountain passes, and rather
thinly inhabited by a people of Sclavon-
ian or Slavic race. For more than four
hundred years they have been under
Turkish rule. When conquered by the
Turks, the chiefs and mobiles generally
embraced Mohammedanism in order to
preserve their lands and privileges, and
were followed in their apOstasy by mi
nority of the lower classes. The major
ity remained faithful to Christianity,
and are to-day unequally divided as
Greek and Roman Catholics. As in ev-
cry country whose eonquerors have been
alien both in race and religion, there
has been mutual oppression and internal
luminosity among the various parties in
Herzegovina and Bosnia. THIS has now
eliminated in an instruction that
threatens the peace of Europe and leads
most men to believe the fall of the Tur-
kish Empire to be near at hand.
Besides the ordinary causes that have
frequently from time to time produced
revolts in the ill-governed provinces of
Turkey, the present revolt is actuated
by the growing feeling of nationality
among the Sclayonic tribes. The spec
tacle of the unexpected and mighty un-
ion Of the Germans into one nation, af-
ter centuries Of disunion and weakness,
and the equally astonishing rise of Ita-
ly from being a mere geographical ex-
preston" to the status of Great Pow
er, have had an electric effect upon the
subject peoples of Turkey. Of the pop
ulation of European Turkey not more
than 100000 are Turks, while of the
remaining, three-fourths are Sclavonians.
Servia, one of the Sclayonic provinces,
enjoys almost entire independence. Its
people cherish visions of the glorious
era when they were the head of pow
erful empire which it tasked the might
of the Sultans to overthrow. Warlike
and turbulent as the Servians are, it is
with much difficulty they can be pre-
vented from aiding their brethren in
birth and religion, and playing the same
role that Sardinia played in the Italian
revolution. In this case and this alone
will there be danger of general war.
Austria has a deep interest in the
strife. She can either crush the revolt
or favor it in order to increase her Owl
territories. But an attempt to dismem
Der Turkey might be fatal to her, mas
much as she should have to share tn,
spoil with Russia. The conclusion t
which We come is that although from tn,
present weak condition of France, tn
Northern Powers could hardly be pre-
vented from doing as they pleased wit
the "Sick Mans" inheritance, the
themselves are afraid to venture Of
opening the great drama.-ISher6rook
