know that the Board of Director of the Augusta
Fair, at meeting Wednesday, the 10TH,
determined to repair the Fair Grounds and re-
store it to its condition previous to the damage
by the flood, with other improvements. The
contract for the repairs has been let, and work
will progress at once, The new President, Mr..
John Towberman, and his associate Directors,
have fully determined that the Fair shall not
90 down, but that all difficulties and embar-
easements must and will be encountered and
the Fair this year surpass all its predecessors.
This is the right kind of spirit.
DUANE's ENTERTAINMENTS last Sat-
u,rday night, B. F. Duane, commonly known
as TX. r. H." appeared for the first time be-
fore a Stsunton audience. The Town Hal
was crowded with very select audience, and
the entertainment gave general satisfaction
In some Of the characters his acting was
very fine, and his facial contortions could
4 ,arcely have been exeeled. While he does
not equal Russell, still he entcrtains and
amuses an audience for an hour and
half, which can be done by but very few
persons who perform alone. He was assisted
by the Stonewal Brigade Band, and nothing
further is necessary TO be said of the music. Mr..
Duane, we understand, will shortly return,
and he will be gladly received.

ever, the presiding officer should be
chosen from among the most distin-
guished jurists of the Senate; since
his functions, as President of High
Court of impeachment, are judi
cial, 1t is true that the Senate,
sitting as a court, will decide,
by vote. points of law as they
arise, but nevertheless, many ques-
tions involving the matter and man
ner ofjudicial procedure must neces-
sarily be decided by the presiding Off
Ger. Ii is almost necessary to say that
Mr., Ferry, while an acceptable presi-
dent, pro tenpOre, is unqualified to
perform the duties appertaining to the
position Of presiding officer of n judi
cial Court OF Impeachment. Like ne
cessity, he "knows no law" having
received nothing but such an educa-
ton as the common schools afford.
He has been successful as business
man having amassed fortune in the
lumber trade. He is comparatively
young, being but forty-eight years of
age. Under the circumstances, ii is
extremely doubtful whether even the
dominant party in the Senate will con-
slider il wise or deOorous to allow him
to preside over them during the COM
ing trial, while they haye lawyers
among them of conceded ability. 1t
is quite possible, nay, even probable,
that, before the 18th instant, the day
fixed for the trial, the Senate will
choose new President pro tempore.
