The display in this class is very meagre. We
need not say that it is too early because every
body knows that most of our trees are loaded
now with unripe fruit unfit for exhibition.
There are in all about fifty varieties of apples
and twenty-five of pears and a scattering

The three first days of the State Fair have
passed, and with one more the fourteenth an
nual exhibition of the Maine State Agrcultu.
raj Society will close The success of this ex-
hibit.on is assured by the large numbers
attending the Park and Hall. The receipts at
the gates have been much more satisfactory
this year than last, owing to the new system of
revenue tickets. This year every animal is ad.
mitted to the Fair free, and every exhibitor is
obliged to pay for an admission ticket. The
owners of the trotting horses and the drawing
oxen are allowed one ticket for an attendant,
but all Others are obliged to pay full price.
This system cuts off very large number of
dead heads and the result is seen in reckoning
up the cash account at night.
The weather yesterday was as it has been
ever since the Fair opened, as nice as could be
wished for. But the dust continually increases
and the she'll road remains as dry as desert.
If the wind should blow fresh to-day it would
be next to impossible to reach the Park in an
open carriage, and if the horse cars moved at
their usual snail-like pace, they would be bur-
led in the shell dust. "Slower than the horse
cars is now favorite expression at the Park.
This is the last day of the exhibition, and we
weuld advise those who have not yet attended
to visit both the Park and City Hall to-day.

the most stirring speeches that has ever been

remarks were clothed in pointed and we'll

he referred to the rebellion and declared that
Southern guns were shouldered by Democratic
voters and in word it was war of parties

Democratic candidate for the legislature, left
the room in somewhat of a hurried manner.
This little affair was greeted with immense ap-

Gray Politics.

Mr. EDITOR. -Ex-Gov. Dingley, and VIM.
T. Whtehouse. Esq, of Augusta, spoke before
an appreciative audience at Dry Mills wednes-
day, on the political situation of the country.
The Governors remarks were plain, forcible
and conclusive. He handled the matter in a
square, straightforward manner, free from
blackguardism, and supports his statements
with facts and fgu res. The Governor gives
the Democratic party through airing and
showed why they are ashamed of their record
for the past sixteen years, and want to let by.

Everything looks favorable fo- the success of
the Republican ticket next month. The U MON
Democrats are shy of the Southern Democracy.
They see in the election of Tilden that the gov
eminent will be controlled by the late reb-
els.
The Democrats are having trouble in their
own camp. John d. Anderson, ESQ.,. expected
the job to go to Augusta next winter and, sup
posed everything all right until too late. Mr..
Morrill,, Remembering how he had to stand
one side two years ago, had his full force out to
the caucus; so John, to save his bacon, had to
withdraw, but it has had its effect-same as all
such things have 10 any party. Ky

Mrs. AvENTINE ATTEMPTS SurcIpE.-Mrs.
Aventine attempted to commit suicide
yesterday morning by jumping over
board from the ferry boat. She
OPPORTUNITY screamed and the fireman
jumped in after her but dory accomplished
her rescue before the fireman reached her. She
was unconscious when rescued, but revived
soon after. She left letter saying in effect

Mrs. Aventine was roughly turned out of her
boarding place on Brown street, Wednesday,
and will bring suit for damages.
1t seems that after Aventine's marriage he
held room at the st. Julian and so far as the
propretors know, occupied it, though his wife
lived on Brown street. A trunk belonging to
him filled with clothing and surgical instru-
ments, is held there for his board. He left this

solemn that after attending couple of them
our reporter gave it up. Rev. Mr. Connect, for
merly of New York, now keeping boarding
house in this city, was the first speaker. He
was indeed introduced as the principal speaker
of the evening. Mr.. Connett was introduced
as gentleman who knew that great and good
man now Gale Samuel j. Tax dodger by the
scoffers. Mr.. G. said he had not the honor to
be an intimate friend of S. j. I. BE had seen
him many times talking with other men. In
deed, he had spoken to men who had talked
with Mr. Tax-dodger. Mr.. G. did not talk
about Mr.. Tllden long, but suddenly turned
upon Arabian Lincoln and assaulted the char
acter of that great martyr of the Republic in a
bitter and malignant manner. ST made me
