General Custer is writing up his mem.
cries of the war. When tho war broke
out he was under arrest at West Point.
His offense was peculiarly serious one,
in young man who aimed 1t being !
commander and enforcer of discipline:
While officer Of the guard and going his
rounds, he came upon couple Of cadets
at fisticufis. Instead Of fSarTestin9 them,
g was his duty, he rushed in, pulled
away the friend Of the fKhter4 who were
about to part them, and shout "a :, Stand

promptly arrested; but it was on the eve
of the war and the government needed

was soon ordered to Washington, whence
Scott dispatched him to Mcdowell It

St. Paul 1Iovine for the state Fair.

F. st. PAM Movtns for the State Fair. ,:
from the st. Paul Dispatch, March 24.J !
WIN. Fowler, Esq, President of the
State Agricultural Society, who was en-.
powered by the Executive COMMITTEES,
with authority to decide upon tho place
for holding the Annual Fair, after con-
su:tation with the Executive Committee
of the State Stock Breeders Association,
visited the city on that business yesterday
After consultation with several gentlemen
belonging to the latter Association.
MIR: Fowler decided to postpone
action for the present. Al,
we'll known the Stockbreeders'' .Associa.
ton voted to unite in holding IN exhibi-
ton with the Agricultural Society pro.
vided the fair Was held either in this city:
or Minneapolis. Among the members Of
this latter association are some OF the
wealthiest and most enterprising citizens
fthe State. They favor St. Paul for the
exhibition, for the reason that it il tho
center of tho largest compact population,
Of the State, and, also, that the grounds
Of the st. Paul Driving Park Association
are the best in the State for such pur-
poses. The executive committee Of the
Agricultural Society, it is perhaps not
out Of place to say, are in sympathy with
these views of the gentlemen Of tho Stock.
breeders Association. ''f ::
But right here is the trouble. The
people Of st. Paul, having been roundly
abused in the past and charged With mig.
gardly support of the Society since their
fairs have been located here, almost unan.
imously concluded to make no effort to
have the fair located here this year. The
people of Minneapolis who came in for
share of the abuse continually heaped
npon St. Paul, decided to pursue like
course. The consequence is only one
point, Owatonna, has made propositions
for the location of the fair this year, and
this proposition is not such as to warrant
acceptance with the certainty of losing
the corporation Of the breeders associa.
ton.
Under these circumstances it looks
very much as if the Society would have
no fair this year unless St. Paul and Min.
neapolis came to it's aid, and
VIC submit as = question
for consideration on the part Of the citi-
zens Of the two cities, if bygones had not
better be forgotten, and the society be
given boost by having the fair held
here another year. Bad weather alone
prevented financial success last year.
The society is now in the hands Of: con-
seientious gentlemen, who are earnestly
laboring to make it credit to the State
By the proposed union with the stock
breeders the exhibition will be far supe-
rior, especially in show Of stock, to any
ever before made in the State. .Remem.

Commodore Rogers was there, dressed

the officers OF the army appeared. The

is symmetry itself, neither. needed nor

Her appearance bespoke . reliance on
