IS said to be unusually fine, ana the exhibit Of
swine is the finest ever made in this section
Of country. Some very choice cattle are also
on exhibition. The horse department ii I'M
usually full, and thefe are tbirty-two entries
for to-days' trotting. The display Of ma
chinery is not as largo as could be wished.

ARREST OF FoRGER.-On Tuesday after
noon, the Hunterdon Democrat states, young
man named Edwsrd Stevenson, who,has been
employed about Ringoes as a farm hand for
some time past, came to Pennington and got
himself into difficulty. Entering the storeof
VIM. H. Fulper Il Co. represented an order
for a suit of clothes, purporting to have been
drawn by c.. Farlee Fisher, for whom he
claimed to have been working, more or less,
for a year past. The order was accepted and
the foolish young man departed with the
clothes. 1t SO happened that Mr.. Fisher came
into town soon after this and Mr.. Fulper
meeting him inquired whether the order was
genuine. Mr.. Fisher promptly branded it as
base forgery, whereupon Mr.. Fulper procur-
ed warrant for tic arrest of Stevenson, and
Constable Pegg was started in pursuit Of him.
He was found near Rocktown and was
brought back 20 Remington. Justice Hanson
committing him to jail. AS the Grand Jury
was then in session we presume his fate will
be sealed at the present term of Court We
understand that young Stevenson was prepar-
ing t0:sfake the dust of Jersey from his boots
and 90 West. It's to DO hoped that when he
is through with this job he will engage in no
more Of the sort. The way of the ,transgress-
or is hard.
ALMOST FATAL ACCIDENT. There was
great excitethent occasioned at the residence
of N. G. Smith, Esq, in Pennington, last
Saturday morning. It seems that his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Lewis F. Reinert, was suffering
from severe cold and upon arising at an
early hour took Up bottle which she sup
posed contained cough mixture, bat which
really contained iaudanuna, and swallowed a
generous draft Of it. She Immediately dis
covered the terrible mistake. and rushing
down stairs notified the family DR.. Parish
was hastily summoned, who, upon arriving,
administered proper emetics, employing the
physiological antidote, electricity and exer-
else, freely, and with success. She vas soon
powerless from the effects of the narcotics and
in order to keep her awake and maintain life,
it was necessary to walk her about, two men
being required to support her, which was no
easy task, she being a very large woman.
However, there was plenty Of help and after
