THE COUNTY FAIR.

The County Fair opens at Tontogany on
Tuesday next. 1t promises to be one Of
the finest exhibitions since the organization
of the Agricultural Society. For several
years, Bowling Green labored to break
down this Society, but the people of the
county have stood by itwith a courage and
determination which has surmounted all
obstacles, and We hope to see it even more
prosperous in the future than at any time

WAsHINGToN, d. G., Sept. 10, 1875.
DEAR JoURNAL:-I will now break the
long Pfotracted silence through the mcdi-
um of'yOur valuable paper, by again
scratching few lines from the great Me-
tropolis, or head center, where the Law
makers of this mighty nation annually
congregate. President Grant is still absent,
rusticating. Rumor reports he will be
home tomorrow. Old Probabilities has
foretold us of some heavy rains, but moth
ing equal to one witnessed one week ago.
when the windows of heaven seemed to be
opened and the rain descended and the
food came. Sewers were "bustei" and
many parts of the city inundated. Penn
sylvania Avenue presented the appearance
Of huge canal. BOYS were boating about
the Potomac Depot Many roads leading
to the city were so badly washed as to rem
der them impossible. Acres of Cantelopcs
and Watermelons were entirely destroyed,
and deep cutters washed through fields OF
corn.
Markets here are glutted with fruits and
vegetables. The best of cabbage often
sells as low as penny per head. Tomat-
toes 25c per bushel, and at close of market
in some instances for sc. Peaches at any
price purchasers name; yet the very best
bring fair prices, there being SO many in
ferior ones in market, and SO few extra
fine.
To-day 1 visited Alexandria, and was
very much surprised at its dilapedated APP
pearance. The buildings show the work
OF time and lack OF energy in repairs. On
most of the streets, more or less grass is
growing and the pavemcnts are as rough
as can we'll be. The Marshall House.
corner of Pitt and King streets, where
Col. Ellsworth lost his life in the rash
act of taking down the Rebel flag, was
burned stwo years ago by an incendiary,
and clothing and boot and shoe store
has been erected on the site. Only two
hotels OF any business, III q city which
contains $4,000 inhabitants.
| also took ramble in the Government
Cemetery, where 3,5D4 of the brave bows
in blue are silently sleeping their last long
sleep. I noticed a Dumb,r of the little
mounds contained members of the old 9th,
18th and 10Th Ohio regiments. Was very
courteously received by Superintendent
Davis, formerly from Springfield, Ohio.
There are four acres enclosed by substan-
tial stone wall; is oblong, being three
times its width in length, and descending
each way from the center, where stands
the flag pole and beautiful fountain.
The grounds are nicely laid ont and beau
tifully orhamented with trees, shrubs, roses
and bedding plants, with u fine green
house connected.
Will continue my deScr;ption OF the
public buildings, &C., at some future day
when | have more leasure.
Yours, to co nmand, RAMBLER.

Atlas for Wood COunty.-The Ilistor-
icnl Atlas, published by II. II. IIARDEsTY
& Co., for Wood county, is now being de-
livered. In comparing it with the Atlas
used by the canyasser, we find it n much
more valuable book than the sample. In
addition to the general matter that was in
the sample, it contains very valuable in
formation for the deciding and describing
OF lands, which alone makes the work
worth its price to great many land own
era or those who contemplate purchasing.
In regard to the local matter, it is far more
elaborate than was expected. The paper,
binding aud typography are almost fault
less. The history of Wood county, as COM
piled by r, S1ANBURY, Esq does credit
to his genus in this respect, and makes the
book almost invaluable to those who wish
to preserve the early recollections of pio-
neer life in this county. 1t was expected
to confine this portion Of the work to twen-
ty-five pages of long primer type, but it
was found necessary to set it in agate, five
sizes smaller. Had the larger type been
used these historical sketches would have
occupied about one hundred and twelve
pages. Space nor time is at our command
to do justice in a review OF work OF such
magnitude in this issue.

The centennial exhibition next year will
afford an excellent opportunity for the
founding of great Lational museum al the
capital. Congress has appropriated a sum
for representation of the operations OF the
executive departments OF the government
and the Smithsonian Institution, and there
can be no doubt, IL the government is dis
posed To be liberal, that this representation
will be one of the most attractive features of
the exhibition. The War department for
instance, will exhibit the most approved an
planes OF war, such as artillery, improved
firearms, uniforms, hospital establishments,
&c; the Patent Office will present the results
OF inventive genius In the shape of models,
drawings, &c; the Indian bureau will exhibit
a vast array of Indian curiosities: the
Smithsonian Institution will contribute an
Invaluable representation from its famous
museum; in fact, every bureau and depart
ment OF the government will give something
to enhance the interest I'm the great exhiDi-
tisn. The question will naturally arise after
the exhibition what shall be done with many
of the articles exhibited. The government
should answer this by taking them to form a
great national museum at Washington. The
Indian curiOsities alone, illustrating as they
would the manners and customs of a race
that Is fast passing away, would be invaIua-
bic and full OF interest, not to Americans
only, but TO the world. Altogether we shall
have after the exhibition the nucleus OF a
national museum which would very soon
rival that of Great Britain in point of in

The introduction Of the postal sys-
tenn, as it at present exists in all co,in.
tries on The globe, has been credited
to Eagland, wheh iu 1910 covers and
envelopes were devised to carry letters
all over the kingdom at one pennv
the single rate. The plan was adopt.
ed through the exeftidns Of Sir Row.
land Hill, who has been aptlv gtermed
the father Of postage stamps.n 1t
now appears, however, that there is
another aspirant for the introduction
OF he stamp system. In Italy. as far
back as 1878, letter sheets were pre-.
pared, duly stamped IN the Left bower
corner, While letters were delivered hy
specially appointed carriers, on the
payment Of the money, which the
stamp represented. The early stamp
represented courier on horseback.
and was ofthree values. 1t was sdis.
continued in 1885, q Whether Italy or
Great Britain first introduced
posIag stamps, ether countries af.
terward began to avail themselves Of
? this method for payment of letters.
although they did not move very
promptly in the matter. ....,.fs.
Great Britain enjnyed the. monopo-
ly Of stamps for three Years. and.
Though the first stamps were issued in
1S40, she had made fewer changes in
stamps than any other country, and
has suffered no changes at all in the
main design the portrait of Queen
Victoria. ln other countries, notably
III our own, the Sandwich Islands, and
the Argentine Republic, the honor of
nortraiture on the stamps is usually
distributed amony various high public
officers; but in Great Britain the
Queen alone figures on her stamps.
and not even the changes that thirty
five years have made Ia her face are
shown on the national and colonial
postage stamps.
The next country to follow the ex-
ample of England was Brazil. In
1912 a series Of three stamps was is.
sued, consisting simply of large nu-
merals denotiug the value, and all
printed in black. Then came the can.
tons in Switzerland, and Finland, with
envelopes which to-day are very rare,
aud soon after them, Bavaria, Belgi.
UNI, France, Hanover, New South
Wales, Tuscany, Austria, British
Guiana, Prussia Saxony, Schleswig,
Holstein, Spain, Denmark, Italy, Old
enburg. Trinidad, Wurtemburg and
the United States. Other countries
kllnwed in the train, until, at the
present moment, there is scarcely any
portion of the globe. inhabited by
civilized people, which has not post
age stamps.
