Tic parties Interested as principal seconds
aud spectators in the prize fight at townsville
last week, where young Walker was beaten
TO death, all seemed anxious to be arrested in
Pennsylvania, in the hope of escaping the
much-dreaded Jersey justice. Even Weeden,
the brutal beater Of Walker, who was arrest
cd in New York on Friday night. was willing
10 be taken to Philadelphia without waiting
for requistion. When Sam Collyer who
was Weedcn's second, was arrested in Phila-
dephia, he trembled at the thought or being
returned to New Jersey, and expects to while
away the next two years Of his life in prison.
The penalty in this State for engaging in a
prize fight is $1,000 fine and Imprisonment not
exceeding two years and every person pres
cnt witnessing Il prize fight is liable to fine

STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY This So
ciety is a State institution in the broadest
sense of the term. 1t has labored earnestly
for the last twenty years, for the elevation
and enlightenment Of the husbandman's call
ing. In hundred different ways we could
| point out where the fruits of these years of
labor have been productive of the most bene-
fetal results. There is no one now who dues-
tons the fact that our farmers, gardeners and
fruit growers, follow a better and more profit
able system of tillage than their fathers, and
it is to the State Society and its practical
teaching that these improved methods may be
traced
Fl Q annual exhibitions of the State Agri-
cultural Society are always excellent schools
of instruction, where men, engaged in similar
pursuits, bring together once year, their
best products, and compare notes, on u COM
mon meeting ground, where they can see
what others are doing in different sections Of
the State. The eighteenth annual show OF
this Society will open at Waverly Fair
Grounds on the 18th inst, and continue for
five days. The cash premiums are more nu-
morous and liberal than ever before, and sum
up in round numbe to $12 600. We are assur-
ed by the officials that some Of the depart
ments will be crowded. We hope none of our
readers will neglect sending whatever they
may have worthy to this exhibition so that
outsiders may see the capabilities of our soil,
and the wide and varied range of the pro-
ducts.
Within the enclosure, which nature has
done SO much to beautify, the visitor is sure
to find some of the best breeds of horses,
neat cattle, sheep, swine and poultry There
is always large display of new and improv-
ed farm implements. Besides these and
other attractions in the domestic depart
ment, there will be fruits flowers and vegeta-
bles,-not quite as large this year as formerly,
owing to the severity of the drought. Aside
from these practical and useful displays, that
always interest farmers, there will BIO some
fine trials of speed on the track by Jersey
bred horses every day during the exhibition.
On Thursday, the 21st ut o'clock p. NJ. the
Tournament will open, and the Sir
Knights will ride for the Champion State
Cup" and the next day, at the same hour,
there will be similar contest for four hand
So ne testimonials. These will be awarded to
the successful candidates on the spot by Gen.
Judson Fitzpatrick, who will be the Grand
Marshal on the occasion.
The President of the United States will
visit the grounds during the exhibition, and
both political candidates for the same Office
are expected to be there. On Friday there
will be grand parade on the track of all the
prize animals, and in the afternoon of the
same there will be an address in the fruit
tent.
