GraY's Horse-Powers.

Our readers have probably noticed the adj.
vertisement Of A. w. Gray 4 Sons, manu-
facturers Of Grays Horse Powers. A few
words IN regard to the celebrated machines
may not he out Of place.
The Messrs Gray have devoted twenty
years or more in periecting and manufactur-
ing these horse.powers, and have succeeded
in producing machine second to none in
strength, durability, lightness, and capacity
for work, aud many claim il 10 be superior
to all others for the purpose for which they
are introduced. With cleaner attached,
from IS TO 100 bushels Of oats are easily
threshed and cleaned per hour. So far as
We know, no one who has used one Of them
has had reason to repent Of his purchase.
At the fairs they have invariably taken a
premium over all competitors. They can be
used for multitude Of purposes, such as
threshing, saving wood, running machinery,
bakeries, cides presses, etc. In tact they
are as near perfection as horse-powers can be ;
and we would advise everybody in want Of
such machine 10 visit or correspond with
the Messrs. Gray, and they will DO satisfied
that they have the best and cheapest powers
in the market, as hundreds who have used
them all over the New England and the
Middle states, aud to great extent in the
west, the south, and the provinces will cheer
fully testify.

CENTENNIAL NOTES.

Kansas has rcopened her display, and the
latest productions Of her soil are the aston
ishment Of visitors. Apples which will
hardly 90 into No. 7 hat bects weighing
six pounds, wild grass ten feet high, heads Of
mllct IL inches long, ears ofcorn ninei
in circumference and on stalks 20 feet high
all give indications Of the wonderful agri-
cultural wealth of the state, and the rich
uess Of the recent crop.
The horse show is weak in distinctively
American breeds, the greater part being i'm.
portatlons from Great Britain and France.
There are only few OF racing stock, truck
horses aud roadsters forming the majority.
Among the so Canadian horses, the favorte
breed is the Clydesdalo Scotch very
heavy muscular animals, with short binds
and thick necks. In the American sheds,
the noticeable animals are Of foreign birth
with the exception of few Morgans. A
beautiful Arab stallion and his colts, by Ken.
lucky and Norman mares, attract great at.
tcntion. In contrast to these is a fiery little
black stallion of Percheron breed from
France, and the huge Norman draft horses
of that breed which furnishes the stations
that draw the omnibuscs and heavy trucks
Of Paris, to the surprise Of Americans who
arc accustomed to seeing only mares and geld
ings tractable enough for such mental en-.
ployment.

Our Comfy Fair.

The Caledonia county Fair opened last
Tuesday as all fairs generally do with wet,
disagreeable weather. About noon steady
rain set in which lasted all day and inter.
fered seriously with the attendance and the
number Of entries. But few entries were
made on the first day the attendance, how.
ever, was larger than the average, though
not as large as might be expected when the
fact that Mr.. Beecher was to make the ad-
dress was taken into consideration. AS it
was about 1900 people assembled on and
about the grand stand to hear and see the
celebrated man. Mr.. Beecher seemed to
look better, if possible, than he did when
here before, and his address was thoroughly
characteristic. The following is brief re-
sumo of his remarks:
After a few casual remarks Mr.. Beecher
said: We are poor people, not in the
sense of poverty, but few leave large estates,
and none can complain Of an overplus of this
worlds goods. But we are rich in ideas and
enterprises which constitute true property,
and but little real property exists unless it
contains brain and hard work, the poor man s
capital and his credit-a credit not only
beneficial but advantageous. 1t is not a
credit like that which has resulted in q inan-
cial depression, and although party speakers
lay this depression to each others charge, it
is only to cut your thrOats. Some say we
should have no credit but | do not believe
it. We should have it, so the poor man aud
manufacturer can bring into existence and
develop those things, that otherwise would
never exist. We do not want too much of
it, however, as persons having certain prop
erty and wishing to dispose OF it could not
always exchange for these things they wished.
A something representing value must be
credited hence gold and silver were given
a commercial value, though it isnot in reality
property. Only houses, furniture, food aud
those things that sustain the body and feed
the mind and brain are property. Paper
currency, promising to pay, is as good as
gold when not issued beyond its value iu
gold. Gold aud silver cannot be credited
and inflated, but paper can be, and during
the past few years OF prosperity, credit has
been given and great enterprises carried on
by paper promises to pay. When the time
came, and men were called to settle and show
their hand, it was beyond their power, as
the obligations were far greater than the
property; hence, in measure. comes our
troubles. The past 25 years have been
more fruitful than those of 80 years previous,
and rich in results 10 the American people
l do not forget, however-God forbid :
our present condition, the trials aud sorrow
through which we have passed, or the loss OF
life that has made so many sad hearts and
homes desolOte; or the sufferings Of these
impoverished by the war; but, in my opin,
ion, the result in doing away with slavery
and giving freedom to our nation has more
than paid. l know they tell of Southern
outrsges but think thOm magui6ed aud
We cannot expect that where the slaves have
been made equal with the master can for

The Season.

After mouth Of unseasonably cold
weather. marking the year almost as sharply
as the extreme heat OF June and July, we
are entering tbs warm autumnal days, when
summer gives us her farewell sweating, The
season has indeed become permanently
old, and it is too late, we imagine, to 90
back and balance accounts with it. The
fearful early summer heats pushed vegeta-
ton sharply forward while the August and
September trosts and drouth have given all
nature a Premature ripening and fading.
The potatoes are small and few; the fruit,
though abundant, lacks the fullness and
richness Of a slower maturity; the second
grass or aftermath fails or is feeble, to the
loss of the winter milk and butter only the
corn seems absolutely and as a whole, to be
benefited by the rare freaks of the season,
and even this, on light and sandy soils, has
shriveled up, and will hardly pay for gather.
ing, either as grain or fodder. On the hills,
the ferns already rivals the goden.rod in
color and the delicate trees, the naples and
brches, hasten to a faded yellow, to fee
BILE brown and an early fall mocking the
gories Of their wonted ripening. Even in
valleys, the elm Is spotted with yellow leaves;
and on the chestnuts, the leaves threaten to
reach their ripeness before the nuts. The
crickets grow hoarse with their long singing
of the season and mid-September is putting
on the gruesome garb and the aged air Of
almost mid October Prone to despair, the
popular mind hastens to the sad conclusion
that, even in this centennial year, with the
country full of foreign visitors, before whom
we would exhibit our gayest fall fashions we
are to miss the full glOries of the American
autumn. Twere pity if 'twere true. Let
us pray the Graces that they order other
wise but if they fail us, aud the winter
must come through dreary portals and with
out tho accustomed Aurora of the season,
We may still thank God that coal is cheaper,
and that, whichever president is elected, we
shall have the rebellion snbdued and slavery
abolished once more-it is to be hoped, fin

greatly pro6ted by valuable free library,
and so he committed the money to the church
Of his boyhood home TO purchase and care
for one, and most nobly they have done it.
Another wealthy benevolent man has given
$4,000 each to several tswns in Wind

Of the poor in those places most noble
object, surely. Nevertheless we could not
suppress a regret that he had not founded
a library for all the people in those towns,
as one Of the best means of preventing the
pauperism and want he has so generously
sought to alleviate. We do not sec how Mr..
Fairbanks can pass our Atheneum without
a feeling Of satisfaction such as cannot be
awakened by any business success, however
great. Such deeds, as bene6cent as they are
rare, eHtitle man to gubernatorial honors,
if anything does, aud we are not sure but
that it would be good policy to incorporate
into the unwritten constitutions Of tho state
clause making some such gift for the peo-
pie prerequisite to nomination for COVER
nor. Whatever other results might follow,
atheuGums, libraries, art galleries, and SINH
lar institutions would spring up all over the
state. Let the experiment be tried, and the
money now squandered for campaigns be put

The Argus and Patriot reminds us Of the
boy who could remember his sums as long
as they were on his slate, but after they were
rubbed out, he could remember nothing about
them. So with the Argus. A few weeks
ago it accused the FARMER Of having demo-
cratic tendencies. Last week, having forgot
ten all about its former assertion, it says,
"tho FARMER seems to let no. opportunity go
by where it can hit the democrats sly blow.
The difference in the two assertions is proba-
bly, due to loss Of memory. 1t also accuses
the FARMER of wilfully misrepresenting the
republican majority in the late election in
Vermont. As for that we gave it as did nearly
all the papers published on that day. including
at least one democratic contemporary. BY
the way, did not the Argus give the majority
in Maine some 1000 less than it really was

truth and pays dollar for dollar, we shall

Mr. Beecher's address was interpreted
with witty illustrations, and he closed with
few humorous remarks as to the results
of his farming. He was often heartily
applauded.

the usual number of gingerbread and new
cidar dealers were present the sword swal-

Horace Peck's "Back john" in three
straight heats; best time, 2:59. Jerry
