POINT, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1875


that Philopnman was the last Of the
Greeks, so we, but not with Plut-
archs meaning, say the Dodgeville
exhibition was the last Of the fairs.
1t began on Wednesday and was
advertised to continue three DAYS.
but owing to the unfavorable wealth
er during the commencement it was
kept up till Saturday, Friday being
the most successful day in point Of
attendance. There was . good show
of everything that is usually exhib-
tied at county fairs, in fact the ten
dency towards exhibiting objects Of
practical utility, seemed to reflect
considerable credit on those who
took part. The stock Of the county
was well represented aud was infe-
rior to none in this part of the State.
Among the animals which bore away
first premiums we noticed that those
of John j. Ross, of this city, had a
considerable share. The tendency
in the show Of vegetables has this
year been on the decline, but in
this the fair was an exception,
Tor all kinds of farm and garden pro-
duce had sufficiently matured, and
OF 1t there was a good display. 1t
may be said to the credit of the
people in attendance, that the
racing did not too much absorb their
attention; in fact the fair on Friday
proves to some extent that such NAV
be made success without the run
ming of horses being made the lead
ing interest, for the number of
tickets sold on that day was greater
than on any occasion since the Or
ganization of the society, while the
races were very few. The ladies
department in ncedle-work was GOOD.
and, Judging from the culinary pro-
ductions also, the good danes of
Dodgeville do not believe that few
lessons on the piano form an attain
ment sufficient to start their daugh-
ters into life, but like the Spartan
mothers train them to do work "deft-
ly wrought with needles, to bake
bread, and to draw water from the
we'll"
One of the most attractive fea-
lures Of the fair was the militia
company, from this city, which APP
peared in full dress, and with the
advancement they had made in the
exercise of arms made fine display.
In the evening there was young
peoples entertainment at the Court
House, under the management of
the M. E. S. s., consisting of tab
leaux, dramas, charades and music.
All those who took part acquitted
themselves creditably, making the
exercise an agreeable and beneficial
one.

Among the many rumors necessarily anoat IN

true, REJECTS no little dlscredit upon sworn
juror and one OF the counsel IL pears that
one day last week gentle slightly intoxicated
visited barbe shop In Brooklyn. He requested
TO be shaved, stating that he was IN great hurry.
Further conversation ensued between nim aud
the barber. in which the gentleman stated that ne
was juror IN the Beecher-riton case. and that 1t
was necessary lor him 10 reach the court room by
ten A. M. He also stated before leaving the SHOP
that he had spent the previous nieht with one OF
the counsel and that they mad been drinking 10.

Mr.. Tilton's counsel, had long interview WITH the
barber on Saturday last, and that several gentle.
man OF Plymouth church had also called upoa MIN.
10 silt the truth OF these reports, which may
have an important bearing upon the issue OF the
suit, HERALD reporter called Yesterday at tne
shop IN question and was told by the CARRIER That
mltted that such language was used but he ala
not know the gentleman's name nor, could he
since visited his shop, but was entirely retceEt
regarding what transrired during his presence.

questions asked by the reporter he simply
answered, 81 am NOT at liberty to say

knows the truth Of the matter 1t is Judge Morris.
and as 1t Is clearly shown that ne visited the bar.
