There were many curiosities scattered
through the different departments, some d
which have a1seadv herr noticed.
The ladies' department was very fine
many art c'es on exhibition showing skill
laOor and industry. Dresses, quilts, cover
lets. tides, with fancy needle work Of all
kinds and varieties. Bread, cakes. and
pies well baked n tempting the visitor
to take one free and uste.
The butter wss very { he; the committee
pronounced il all 50 good that j, was very
difficult TO decide which was best. The
keg by V. j. Miller. our county commits
%sione-, was very good. MIR. Miller was OF
tered forty cents per pound Tor it rs soor
as It was opened.
The home mechanical department wa!
very poorly represented and shows thai
the spirit of old Alex. Yoder is departins
from our people. This is TO be regretted a:
the farmers nov need a home market fol-
their various products, Among those on
exhibition were boots and shoes by n. b.
Snyder, excellent; a collar by Isaac Simp-
son, chains and wagon by Perry Umberger,
plows by J. s. Hartzell. A very fine
buggy by Grove & Dennison.

AUTUMN.-With its gay colored apparel
Of purple and gold leaves and its stores OF
brown nuts, autumn is once more with US.

the best advantage. II seems strange that
at this time just before they wither and
fall the leaves should put on their bright.

in every little nook and hollow in the

gentle fingers OF Jack Frost, have turned
a deep purple at being handled even by
him, and hang in glistening punches from
every vine.
AT this time Of the year the old farm
house, with its background of beautiful
forest trees, its orchard of red apples, its
squeaking, weaiherlbeaten old eidertpress,
and its barn well filed with an abundance
of golden grain. forms such a picture as
delights the eye and fills ones heart with
a love tor a rustic life and rural content

over, and little else remains to be done but
to gather the bright yellow corn and strip
from it the husks.

Would 1t not be a good idea for the min
listers OF the different religious denomina-
tons about town TO have a meeting and
arrange so that there would not be ser
vices in all the churches at the same time,
or rather that their pulpits should not all
be vacant at the same time, as is often the
case now. We have no doubt but that it
would be pleasing arrangement to the
members Of their congregations, and it
would most certainly prove agreeable and
profitable to the strangers who visit our
town, and those of our people who do not
belong to any particular denomination.

On Wednesday morning last quite q
number of persons who have passed the
vermifuee age got up, not to catch the
worm, but to view the eclipse Of the Il n
| At five o'clock the shadow of the earth
commenced to move across the suns disc.
Those who were furnished with smoked
glass watched the shadow creeping slowly
over until it seemed that Sol had ''doused
his glim" forever. The chickens were
struck with CONSERVATION. and doubtless
wondered how they had made such a mis-
take as to get up before it was daylight.
As the shadow shut out the suns rays
more and more, a feeling of awe took pos
session of the watchers. and those who
had not before heard of an eclipse clasped
their hards in silent prayer and impatient
" listened for the blowing OF the last
trump. But o o the cloud began to re-
cede and at a few minutes before seven

day shown out withs all his accustomed
splendor, and sent forth his bright rays to
! gladen the hearts of the tOilers Of earth.
This is the way it was put down in the pro
gramme and we suppose the bill was filed,
but in this ~neighborhOod a dense fog pre-
vented a view OF the sun until after eight
o'clock.

\ SUICIDAL POLICY.-The managers OF
the Pittsburgh Washington Il Baltimore
Rail Road, for once, it strikes US, have not
exercised their usual sood judgment in
the arrangement of their schedule. The
westward bound express on tie new
schedule leaves Cumberland at 1:35 A. NJ,
passing through this entire county, and in
fact along the whole road as far as West
Newton at such an early hour in the MORN
ing as to make it comparatively useless to
persons along the line. In this county it
passes Meyersdale at SEQ A.. NJ. and Min
eral Point at 3:42 A. NJ. Persons living
east of Mineral Point coming Il Somerset,
have but one train a day, making it i'm
possible to come here and reach home the
same day. According to the admission of
quite a number OF the employees Of the
road, the Somerset Branch, Fayette Coun-
ty Branch excepted, is the best feeder be-
tween McKeesport and Cumberland. es-
peeially to the express train on the old
schedule, and by this new arrangement
this trade is entirely cut of. On the old
schedule the train picked up passengers
all along the line from Bridgeport to Pitts
burgh, and was in fact the passenger train
of the road; on this schedule il is simply Il
Pittsburgh train. Far be it from US to
find fault with the management of the
road, bot this appears to be such u palpa-
Bile mistake that we think it as much to
the interest of the road as of the travelling
public to have it rectitied.

Tue third annual exhibition of the Som.
erset County Agricultural Society COM
menced on September 22nd. The day
was cold and disagreeable. and the attend
ance was not very large. Thursday and
Friday the weather was beautiful and the
attendance was very good. The number
of good horses and colts entered was
large. VIZ noticed especially Mr.. Hef-
fley's Black Niger Mr.. A. G.. Wills
young Roam; Sechler s. Ferris well known
Brown Acherman's Bay /; a very fine 2
year old, sired by Ackerman's Bay Wei
ler's , year old, sired by Niger, is splen-
did colt and had many admirers. The
sucking colts on exhibition were very
good and the improvement made by the in
PRODUCTION of new and better breeds
was quite perceptible. The importation Of
English horses into this county will I'M
prove the stock within a few years and
will give US a better class of draught hor-
seS.
Among the carriage teams we noticed
the fancy gray eagle mares by b. F. Pick
ing, tull blOoded and splendid drivers.
The walking horse OF George w. Pile, our
coming Sheriff, and one owned by III.
Suhre are among the best and are good
movers. The number of trotters was large
but all require training. Those owned by
III. Ii. Flick and John Beesecker made the
best time.
The cattle on exhibition showed a mark
ed improvement on the old native stock.
The two yearling bulls of John z. Baoads
and Frank Countryman are splendid sam
pies OF half breeds.
Among the swine was a Berkshire sow
owned by Daniel Ankeny, with twelve
pigs Il fine specimen OF that species.
The products of the farm were
numerous, except wheat, of which there
were only a few samples.
Pumpkins, potatoes. cabbage, tomatoes,
beans. peas. and all kinds of garden vege-
tables were in great abundance and very
line. Among the corn was one ear mark
ed 'the anne kind that the disciples
plucked on the Sabbath day" The ex-
hlbitor may be mistaken in his history, as
1t IS generally supposed that corn is a ma
tive OF America.

SINGULAR DEATH.-The Local Meas
of Bethlehem, this State, gives the partic-
ulars of the most singular death ola lady
named Mrs. McCarty, OF that place, which
occurred a few days ago. The deceased
was mOther-in-law of Mr.. Thomas Judge,
formerly a well-known resident Of Cam
bria Borough, but now an innkeePer in
Bethlehem. 1t seems that this Lady was
taken i'll from the pain produced by what
was supposed to be a carbuncle which
formed on the back Of her neck. It be
came exceedingly sore, and gradually en-
larging it commenced sloughing of until
finally the bone near the spinal column
became visible, and the back of her neck
was one complete sore. The pain was so
excruciating as to produce her death in a
very short time. She had reached the adj
vanced age OF sixty-six years, and was uni
versally respected in the community in
which she resided. Mr.. Patrick Maley,
of Millville Borough is 8 relative of the
deceased.
