ACCURATE JOURNALISM.

The Chicago E0e,aiaag Journal OF
the 18th inst. says the first fast pos
tai mail train over the New York
Central route, reached Chicago at
6:27 o'clock this morning, making
the distance (taking the difference Of
time into accoun0 in about ~ hours.
In another place it says, cat precisely
6-27 o'clock this morning the fast
mali train which started from New
York 26 hours before, 2 "arrivea at the
Van Buren, Street Depot, of the
Michigan Southern and Rock Island
Railroads. It came in not merely
on time, but eight minutes ahead of
Schedule.
The Chicago Post and Mail of the
same date says: cat 7.47 o'clock the
fast mail train came to stand in the
depot, having traversed the distance
between this city and New York IN
25 hours and So minutes.
The Inter Ocean of the same date
SAYS, the fast mail "train lett the de-
pot at All, two minutes late And
the Inter-Ocean Of the 18th says,
"The train reached this city six min
utes ahead ofschedule time, making
the trip in twenty-seven hours and
four minutes"
At will be seen by the foregoing
that neither the Journal nor Post
and Mail, gives the time the train
started.
The Tnter-Ocean says the train
left the depot at ALI, two min
utes late, and arrived III Chicago six
minutes ahead of schedule time. :"
Stating that it arrived SIX minutes
ahead of schedule time, conveys no
information to such as do not know
the schedule time.
The Post and Mail represents the
train az having traversed the dis
tanoe between Chicago to New
York instead of having traversed it
from New York to Chicago.
The Journal makes the train arrive
at Chicago at e:27.
The Post and Mail makes it arrive
at TAT.
The Inter Ocean makes it arrive
at six minutes ahead of schedule
time.
The Journal in one place makes
the train arrive at Chicago in 26
hours after leaving New York and
in another in about 81 hours, taking
the difference Of time into account.
The Post and Mail makes the
train arrive at Chicago in % hours
and So minutrs after leaving New
York.
The Inter-Ocean makes the train
make the trip from New York to
Chicago in 81 hours and 4 minutes.
Now we would ask these accurate
journals if any one can tell from any
or all of them, at what time the
Hudson River, New York Central,
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
Fast Mail Train left New York, at
what time it arrived in Chicago, and
in what time it traversed the dis
lance from New York to Chicago
And if 10 one can tell we would re
spectfully suggest that their reader;
might be much better satisfied i
they would furnish them the inform
alton.

Present indications favor the presump-
ton that our County Agricultural Fair
this year will be very much superior to
those Of past years, if we are favored with
agreeable weather. The trials of horses,
speed alone will be feature of great In.
terest; but on account Of the largely
increased premiums offered this year,
it is thought certainly there will be an
increased representation in the line OF
live stock.
