FIRE. During the thunder shower last
Sunday night, the barn of Mr.. Sullivan,
who lives north of the Central railroad,
was struck by lightning, set on fire. and
Destroyed with all its contents, which were
about four or five tons of hay, and a
horse. The fire companies started to
the vicinity, but the distance was SO great
and the rain fell in such torrents, that it
was deemed inexpedient and they return

The County Fair Indefinitely Postponed.

At meeting of the directors of the
Buchanan County Agricultural Society
held on the 25th inst, it was determined
after due discussion not to so on with the
county fair this year. The reasons NOV
ing the directors to this determination,
were:
1. The very wet season, which has
made travelling very unpleasant and diff
cult and rendered the condition of the
Society's grounds unpleasant to occupy.
2. The great financial stringency,
which made it improbable that the at
tendance would be large enough to meet
the expenses of the fair. The disasters
which have attended other fairs held in
this state, and even in adjoining states,
also had some effect in influencing the di.
rectors.
Since this action was decided upon,
so much has been said in the way
of protest, that the directors of the Agri-
cultural Society deem 1t proper to ex-
plain that the receipts of the Society last
year fell short of paying the premiums
and meeting the legitimate expenses, over
5000. With this Indebtedness to provide
for from last year, the management did
not feel justified in running the risk of
swelling the liabilities of the Society to
even larger proportions.
If the Society had established it as a
rule to pay premiums pro rata in case
the amounts received were not sufficient
to pay them in full, the directors might
have proceeded with the fair, and the
losses, if any, might have been deducted
from the premiums pro rata, IN which
case it would not have fallen in any one
way heavily. But as no such rule has
been adopted, it was deemed unsafe to
hold fair.
These are the reasons impelling the de-
cision of the directors; it is hoped that
they may be deemed satisfactory.

The proposed reduction all around is
no doubt very good and proper, but we
cannot understand why the pruning
knife was not applied to Liberia. We sus-
pect that it is because a Triggers in the
wood pile"
In connection with these proposed re-
auctions we would venture the suggestion
that our national legislators are in dan
ger of emitting the "weightier matters of
the law" in their attention to minor con-
Germs. Why do they not work up the
mines of corruption, official dishonesty
and rascality which are as abundant
as leaves in Vallambrosa? Why leave
all these fields UNEMPLOYED to hunt
down the little consulships which
involve but a few thousand dollars at
most? Why not save six or eight or
may be ten or fifteen million dollars in
the army and navy departments? The
postoffice department is said to be per
feet well-spring of extravagant expendi-
lures but we hear no talk of correcting
the abuses that have crept into it. And
then it has been well suggested that if
smaller matters must be the order of the
day, the Congressman who were elected
on their reform pledges might look to the
exorbitant abuses which, under the rule
of their profigate predecessors, have
crept into the very department with
which they themselves are connected.
For example, the salaries of Congressman
and the superintendent contingents which
they receive in the shape of pen-knives,
hair brushes, and innumerable items
under the head of stationery, all constitu-
ting a colossal expenditure at the cost of
the taxpayers. 1t is great thing to
save at the spigot provided you do the
same at the bung.

SENATOR CoNKLING, of New York,
the dandYack of the Radical party, has
delivered comforting assurance to the
third-termers. He says that Grant is
the strongest man in the party, the easiest
to elect, and. the only candidate who
could carry any of the Southern States.
With any other candidate, he thinks,
no Southern State could be carried bv
the Republicans, and the result of the
election would be in great doubt.
Now if Senator Conkling can infuse
these notions into the minds of suf-
ticient number of Northern Republicans
to secure General Grants nomination,
the carpet-bag element in the South, who
are clinging on to his coat tail, will be in
cloyer-until after the election.

IT is understood that the United States
Grand jury have made a very thorough
and rigid inquiry whether there was in
timidation, violence, or any kind of VIC
lations of the law to prevent a fair cleo
ton last fall. Numerous witnesses have
been summoned from different counties
and it is no secret that very active meas
ures have been adopted for partisan pur-
poses to procure indictments. The Jury
is composed of the best men of both races,
and its report will be entitled, therefore,
to consideration as truthful, fair and
impartial presentation of the facts, what
ever they may be.
