MCliINNEY, November 3.--As was
predicted from yesterday y indications,
there was n very large attehGence ut
the Fair Grounds, and the exhibition OF
horses, mules, cattle, sheep, and hogs
was the best that can be shown IN
NOrth Texas. Collin county Is noted
for her fine stock Of every description,
and the samples Of it displayed this
week at the Fair, establishes her SUI
premecy in such matters. She IL to
Texas, In this regard, what the blue
grass region of Kentucky is to that
State. The Enquirer Of this city,
speaking Of the county, very Justly
says:
"She IL, in all things, the pride Of
our great State, aud her Incompatible
richness OF soil, and vast products, her
kings in every arena where time, pro-
portion, blood and pedigree were
called, her true and brave men, aud
beautiful and lovely women, has given
to the mother county of Collin II repu-
tation extended far beyond the bOrders
Of Texas, and they come from the re-
gions OF the great West and North,
the East and South, with their money
and nerve, with brawny hands and
hearts good will, to yet further devel-
ope the wealth Of this Eden Of ours"
Take it all In all, Notwithstanding
| the heavy rain Of Wednesday aud the
muddy roads of yesterday and to-day,
the fair has proved IL success, and 1t Ia
confidently believed that tomorrow
the attendance will be far In excess o
that to-day. One OF the principal ut
fractions Of tomorrow Will he the bal
loon ascension at two o'clock.
General >. b. MnXey, the very dis
| linguished United States Senator from
this State, WAS to have delivered the
annual address, but unfortunately h'
was ut the time engaged IN the trial o
several important suits which cOul'
not well be abandoned, ana Therefore
he could not be present, much to hi
own regret and that OF the peOpl
here, who recognize In him an Abl
gentleman and worthy representative
OF the state in tho supreme councils q
the nation.
Some weeks since Captain II. j
Brown had consented to become can
didatu for the judgeship Of thi
(the Twenty.seventh) judicial district
created at the last session OF the Leg
islalure. learn to-day that he ha

the reason that important legal inter
ests entrusted to him would be, pen
haps, jeopardiHed by his abaudouin
them, aud thereby his clients wOui
be injured. Approaching the fine sens
Of honor that induces his decision
IN the matter, the people Of the dis
trlct, composed OF the counties of Co
lin and Grayson, deeply regret the cil
cumstanGes that deprive them of tn
services OF a lawyer of such acknow
: edged ability on the bench.
OF course, the weather and the Fa
combined, has intersered with bus
ness to some extent this week, an
cotton has not made its appearance
any great extent on the streets.
Oflate, there seems to have bee
DETERMINATIONS to treight9 on COtt0

!. hood of Mckinney to both the ahOv
places, thus depriV.us Mckinney I
y some of her legitimate trade but
II learn that this has been corrected, AZ
V Mckinney now is placed upon Il
\ same footing ~ her neighb0rs in tn
u regard, the result OF which IL that h,
