1t will be seen, by reference to the pro-
ceedings of the directors of the county Ag-
ricultural Society, that the next annual exhi-
bition will be held ON the 18th. 18th, 18th
and 10Th of October, 1875.
II is proposed to devote the last day of the
fair to the sale of stock, implements, &c, a
feature that will greatly enhance the practi-
cal usefulness ofthe exhibition Fairs have
been kept up in England in the same district
for more than seventy years, and are yet
places of resort for the whole country sur.
rounding them. The reason is, they arc
made the places of traffic as well as ofpleas.
TIRE. A farmer who has an article for sale
comes with the expectation of finding q
ready purchaser. Another advantage which
would follow an annual sale, such as is pro-
posed, would be the dissemination of new
and Improved breeds of stock, and thus
gradually The worthless, scrubby varieties
would be wecded out and their places filled
by better animals, the raising which would
bring profit to the farmer.
To secure good exhibition, every person
interested should at once set about produce
ing or preparing some article for the fak.
1t Is only by timely exertions that really
credtable exhibition can be made.

Reports designed to injure my business hav-
ing been industriously circulated, Justice to
myself demands this method of disabusing the
public mind and showing their utter falsity.
1t has been asserted that the prices charged bv
me for collins are largely in excess of those Of
other undertakes for the same grade of work
If these reports had had their origin with par.
ties engaged in the same business or with those
for whom have worked then there would have
existed no necessity for this denial of their
truth. But am convinced that they have been
conceived and circulated by persons whose ig.
norance of the business is only excelled by their
anxiety to injure me. My published price list
the necessities of the unfortunate by exorbi-
tant charges for collins
/ ask of the public q candid examination of
that list before pronouncing Judgment. 1t will
be seen by reference thereto that l. furnish n
plain, neatly furnished walnut coffin, adult size,
with box, for Sl5 and upwards to $685. the latter
price being charged when extra trimmings and
six bar handles are used. limo case is higher
price charged unless n more richly trimmed
coffin is positively ordered. Let these prices
be compared with those of other undertakers,
and the style of the workmanship and value of
the trimming be considered and, to an unpre-
JUDGED mind the charge ofeXtortion will need
no further denial.
Keeping on hand supply of costly material,
such as breast'plates, half-round silver mould
ing, silk.head lining, silk tassels and silver
fringe, / am prepared, when ordered, to fur
nsh collins with any or all of these trimmings.
Any one at all acquainted with the price of
such materials will readily understand that
their use must largely increase the price OF q
coffin. wish it plainly understood that am
prepared to furnish work of any grade as good
dad as cheap as it can be had any where.

And damn'd be him that first cries,

CoNNEoTIcUT-The New York Sun says
of the recent Republican defeat in Conncct-
cut:
THE result is known. The President and
the party are both ANONYMOUSLY defeated
The Southern policy Of the Administration
which was made the turning issue of the can
vass, has been condemned with crushing
emphasis. Grant personally is rebuked, and
Blaine is sent home with n flea in his car as
a Presidential asprant. This is a blow from
which recovery is most difficult, lift be ut
all practicable, for if the combined strength
of Grant welding the Federal patronage,
and Blaine claiming TO represent the moder-
ate sentiment, could not prevail in this iso-
lated contest, where every man was made
available anu every weak point fortified,
what hope is there in national struggle
without these extraordinary resources That
question answers itself"

wife, said that she drank, and that it would
be proved she died of exposure. He said he
intended to come back 10 Baltimore and give

BOYS USING ToBAcco.-A strong and sem
sible writer says good sharp thing, ard
true one, too, for boys who use tobacco:
at has utterly spoiled and utterly ruined
thousands of boys. 1t tends to the soften
ing and weakening ofthe bone, and it greatly
injuries the brain, the spinal marrow and the
whole nervous fluid. A boy who smokes
early and frequently or in any way uses large
quantities of tobacco is never known to make
a man of much energy, and generally lacks
muscular and physical, as we'll as mental
power. We would particularly warn boys,
who want to be anything in the world, to
shun tobacco as most baneful poison"
We call the attention of the boys TO the
above warning against the use oftobacco.-
Every word is as true as Holy Writ. Ifthere
is any thing that will more thoroughly cner.
vate and destroy both physical and mental
yigor than the use of tobacco by boy it re-
mains unknown to medical science.
Better wait, boys you will and must use
tobacco, until you have finished your growth
and your constitution has become formed :;
but our advice is TO let it Severely" alone,

BRowNLow AND JOHNSON. --Parson Brown
low of Tennessee, is after Andrew johnson
with sharp stick. In 8 letter to the New
York Tribune, he accuses johnson of gross
ly misrcpresenting facts and irawing crook.
ed parallels in his Senate spe cth on the Loui-
siana question. The vituperuiYe ex-Sena-
tor, whose venom grows mere bitter with
increasing years, winds up q long string of
abuse with this Shakspearian challenge:
ANDREW johnson and myself made war
on each other about 39 years ago, and have
kept it up without intermission ever since,
save during brief period when he ''threw
up the sponge" and made overtures for peace.
Now that he has renewed the war in the
Senate, say to him.:
Lay on, Macduh;
And damn'd be him that first cries, Hold,
enough
The Senator from Tennessee will scarcely
accept the challenge, but if lie should, a fresh
sensation would take the place of the Beech
er scandal.
