A SUIT was in progress last Friday
before Judge Yates, Referee by APP
pointment of Circuit Court, for the
recovery of Il gold watch and chain
now in DossaSsinn of Peter Jacobs and
claimed as the rightful property OF Mrs.
n. A. Baxter. Mr.. Feath, an accom-
plished young attorney from New
York, who we understand used to sit
at the feet of that legal Gamaliel,
Saml. J. Tilden, appeared for plaintiff
while J. n. Neiman, Esq, represented
the defendant. The contest was as
warm as the political campaign in In
diana--all the artillery of exceptions,
conceptions and receptions being fired
off by the volley. The report Of the
Referee, i'm brief. states:
That the watch belonged to Mrs.
Baxter. That in August "a, Geo. ii.
Gordon, oiins DIR. Purza, borrowed il
and pledged it to Jacobs for a loan OF
S35, Jacobs supposing it to he Purza's
property. That later it was further
pledged for sol, after which ii was
mutually agreed between the three in.

Mr.. Editor:-The week just past, be-
ing the occasion Of the Union District
Fair at this place, has been one of I'M
usual stir and interest. The Fair was
a good one, the crowd was big one,
Keene Il Franks Cosmopolitan Thea
tire troupe made it lively evenings
But owing to the bad roads the Cos
mopolitans did not reach here to APP
pear the first night for which they
were billed; and as the disappointed
crowd was homeward bound, it natur-
ally sought soIace by gathering around
a company of colored brethren who
were announcing at the top of their
melodious voices that they'd
"Bcen lis'nin' all the night long"
And the "lis'nin'" was SO conta.
tagious that in a few minutes everyone
was listening to the jolly 18th amend.

that they were in such condition as to
only need a leader and little ire
forming" to turn out first class con-
cert troupe. Now it SO happened that
the Chairman of the Democratic Co.
Central Committee. who of course
is ''reformer," and the
City Attorney, were both present
and felt equal TO the neces-
sites of the occasion. Being convinc.
| ed that investments are likely to pay q
better per cent. at home than abroad,
they at once SAILED in" informing
the singers that they understood the
show biz, that they had concluded t.
take charge of this particular show
and that rs the Fair would begin next
day it would not do to waste any time
Accordingly all hands started for the
depot, when they had first q rehearsal
and then matinee.

THE INTERCHANGEABLE FAIR.-Our
northern neighbors were fortunate in
that the week selected for the Union
District Fair turned out to have two
nice pleasant days-a good deal larger
proportion than have been accorded to
any exhibition i'm this vicinity
80 far this fall. The people,
having been disappointed in plans for
Fair going again and again, were ripe
for this opportunity, and both on
Thursday and Friday the attendance
was very large. Many went from this
vicinity, from whom we learn that the
show was very creditable, although
not nearly SO many entries were made
as at our Fair, to which not paying
visitor was admitted. There were
quite a number Of trotters present, and
some Of the races were very good in
consideration of the condition of the
track

Corn is coming in quite freely, but

ers hope for better prices for barley,
and have very little wheat for sale.
Corn is ripening up well and prom

Apples are quite plenty i'm this vic-

MR.. POTTER's SPEECH.
to announcement, Hon. w. M. Potter,
of Clinton, spoke in the Court House
in this place last Monday evening up
on the political issues of the hour. Mr..
Potter was met by a discouragingly
small audience, but they seemed
anxious to hear him, go he finally
yielded to their request and spoke for
an hour and half in plain, practical
and convincing manner. Mr.. Potter
is a cyclopedia Of political facts and
figures, and the manner of his argu-
ment is to present in bold relief the
true character of the opposing political
parties as evinced by their respective
records-and having these before his
audience side by side, there can be but
one intelligent answer to the question
he enforces as being now before the
American people, zig: (Which of
"them seems more worthy to be trust
