From the Kenosha Union of Aug. Sd


We have received from the Racine
-Ad0OcGte printing house copy of the
Premium List of the Racine County
Fair, which will be held in Burlington,
Wis, Sept. 9th, 7th, and8th. 1t is very
creditable job of printing, and shows
that the officers of the Racine Agricul
tural Society are not parsimonious in
regard to their printing. This fair will
-Opento competitors from Kenosha
county.
Will the Union inform the public how
the Premium List above referred to
''shows that the officers of the Racine
Agricultural SDciety are not parsimonious
in regard to their printing!" Whether
the officers are liberal or parsimoniouS
depends upon the quantity of the p rint
ing they have done and the amount they
pay for it. There is nothing in the
premium list showing either liberality
or parsimony as to the quantity of print
ing or the amount paid for it.
The inference has been drawn that th,
Union intended to represent indirectly
to the public that the officers of the
KenOsha County Agricultural Society art
parsimonlous in their printing Thi
does injustice 10 these officers. They
have been liberal in the quantity o
printing which they have had done and
intend to have done. And they pay the
price they can get the work done for
following the instructions of the Society
to have it done wherever they can get il
done the lowest. II these instructions

cupola Of barn when by some mismo,em he
slipt and losing his balance sliding down the
roof and falling to the ground, distance of forty
eight feet, there being basement under barn,
and striking the ground distance offourteen feet
out from the barn, breaking both his legs between

injuries. j. We.

MUTILATING FRUIT TREES.

Of all the plumbers that the com
mon farmer makes with trees, none
is so common or so hurtful as the
practice of cutting eff lower limbs.
All over the country nothing is
more common than to see big limbs
cut off near the body of the tree.
This is sin against nature. The
very limbs necessary to protect the
tree from wind and sun are cut
away. But the greatest injury is the
rotting-too big to heal over, and
keep moist by the growing tree, the
the limb must rot, and the rotting
goes to the heart and hurts the whole
tree.-G0rdener's Monthzy.

Hon. CHARLES G.. WILLIAMS, as
announced last week, was nominated
at the Congressional Convention of
the First District for Representative
IN Congress. Mr.. Williams received
majority ofthe votes on the inform
al ballot, opon which he was, on
motion, nominated unanimously.
This nomination is for a third term
and is a well deserved compliment to
his ability, fidelity and faithfulness
as Representative. His nomina-
ton is equivalent to an election, but
the Republicans of his District will
require more of him than his cleo
ton. They will expect him to give
strength to the ticket and will not be
disappointed in their expectations.

GnIINTY OFFICERS.

Who shall be the County Officers?
Who shall be the Republican can
didates? A brief article appeared
among the locals last week which we
did not write, though We admitted it.
According 10 that, candidates are
springing up in every direction. WHO
are they? We have heard Of bat
few. All the present officers are
eligible to the Offices except the
Sheriff, and all eligible would
probably like TO be reelected. And
there are others not in office, who
are eligible and would like to be
elected. All eligible and equally
qualified have equal rights TO office.
The Sheriff is not eligible to re-elec-
ton. Who shall be the Republican
candidate for the office? The Sher-
if, being the chief executive officer of
theCounty, should be aman Of charac-
ter, OF standing, and OF ability. And
we have such men in the county some
of whom would probably be willing
to accept of the office of Sheriff.
Who shall be the candidate?

THE PoLITICAL CAMPAIGN in In
diana was opened last Friday even
at Indiana polls. A large and
enthusiastic meeting assembled at
the Academy of Music which was
addressed Ex-senator Morton. AS the
Senator appeared upon the stage he
wasgreeted with prolonged applause.
General Harrison was also received
with hearty cheers as he made his
appearance. Senator Morton is
reported to have been looking re-
markably healthy and vigorous, and
to have made one OF his ablest and
most telling speeches. Thecampaign
is now open and Indiana will be a
battle ground till the state election
in October and even to the President
ial election in November.

While Hayes was fighting for the life
of the Republic, Tilden and Hendricks
were lending their AID and influence to
the building up of a monarchy whose
cornerstone were to be free-trade, slav-
cry, moneyed aristocracy and anignor-
ant, purse-rid6en democracy; and the
massacre at Hamburg, S. c., was but the
legitimate fruit of the teachings of such
system A few years since cltlz of
South Carolina, named Heller, stole a
horse and took refuge upon an island in
the Savannah river believing 1t to be
within the limits of Georgia, as it was
the reteat of Palmetto v1llajpy. The
island thus acquired the name "Heller's
Georgia." and is the property of M. G,
Butler, the "hero OF Hamburg" as the

EDITOR OF TELEGRAPH With cutting almost

which are hard to find, will not give Of No 3wheat
yield to exceed or bushels per acre. Oats
give the best promise of any of the grains but
will not average over 25 bushels per acre. Barley

feed. Putting Flax in stack, we find'the poorest
promise since 1850. The extremes are represent
ed by from to 10 bushels per acre with much

We are indebted to the Treasurer,
L. w. Thayer, for two copies Of the
Premium List Of the Fair of Kenosha
County Agricultural Society. tits a
pamphlet of perhaps sixten pages
besides the advertisements. Pages
IS, IA, Is and IS are duplicated not
in the paging only but also in the
matter OF the pages. This duplica-
ton is Of but little consequence ex-
cept for its tendency to confusion,
unless other matter is left out which
should have taken it's place, which
is not evident on it's face. In sever
al other respects the execution ofthe
premium list would not bear criticism
but as it can probably be understood
it is not advisable to speak Gifts
defects.
The Fair will be held at Kenosha
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day. Sept. 10th goth and 21st. The
premiums are extensive and liberal
for a county fair, and competition
for premiums and trotting races are
open to the world. The officers of
the society are intending and will do
their part to make the fair com
plete success, and, if the people will
come to their aid and do theirs, they
will succeed. And we hope the
people of Kenosha county and the
adjoining counties will come to their
aid and make the Kenosha County
Agricultural Society Fair Of 1876 a
grand success.
Since the foregoing was passed to
the compositors we have referred to
the other Of the two copies and find
that the duplication is not in that.
One half our copies is duplicated in
part, and the other half is not.
What proportion of the whole num-
Der of copies is duplicated we do
not know, nor do we know whether
the duplicated part in some is left
out Of others.
