For The Cecil Viii
AGRICULTURAL FAIR.

The fair held upon the farm of Adam r.
Magraw, on the 18th inst, under the aus
pices of the Cecil Farmers Club, was a
highly creditable affair.
Some two or three hundred persons
were in attendance, mostly gentlemen.-
The main feature of the fair was the dis
play of stock. Durhams appeared to be
the favorite breed. Those deserving special
mention were exhibited by John 2. Evans,
who showed a handsome pair of large oxen
and several fine heifers. William Preston,
one COW and fiue group of young cattle.
VIM. w. Moore, Il very fine pair of young
oxen, of Devon stock. VIM. II. Cooley
also exhibited nice pair of oxen. Duy-
ckincks, of the Ninth district, had the
honor of exhibiting the heaviest cattle of
the collection. They tipped the scales at
forty hundred: work oxen, six years old.
We saw two other pairs of fine oxen, but
failed to learn the name of the owners
Joseph Lincoln and VIM. Terry also had
some fine young cattle, Durhams A mum,
Der of horses and colts; also, sheep, both
Cotswold and Southdowns, were to be seen.
Adam X. Magraw, Esq, on whose farm the
fair was held, had on exhibition some fine
specimens of wheat, corn and timothy
seed. Miss GolibaIt brought some very
neatly arranged buttor, which looked pretty
enough to tempt the appetite of an epicure.
Jos. Balderston brought some beautiful
Brahma chickens: Thomas Waring showed
some Gray Cochins, of fine proportions and
general symmetry.
Among the vegetable display We noticed
some very superior potatoes, of the Peer
less variety, exhibited by Rev. S. \. Gay
ley.
William Terry exhibited hog, of the
famous Chester White breed, which elected
general admiration. A. r. Masraw show
ed some handsome swine of the Berkshire
variety.
The farm of A. r. Magraw is one of the
most highly improved in the upper part of
the county. The elegant buildings are sur
rounded by tastefully ornamented grounds.
A neat farmers cottage stands near the
mansion of the owner, and on the western
slope of the lawn is situated the new and
commodious dairy room, with all the mod
ern appliances for making superior butter.
Mr.. Magraw received his education in
Europe, where he had ample opportunity
to study the science of agriculture as prac-
ticed in the Old World. To this noble
pursuit Mr. Magraw has devoted means
and leisure.
1t is to be hoped that the fair may be re-
peated in the future, and the ladies be in
vited to participate more largely. Why
should not old Cecil have a fair of her
own? Sure enough, why not?

FUNERAL. CEREMONY.

On Tuesday last, the remains of Charles
w. Mccullough, son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. J.
Mccullough, arrived here on the AS ex-
press train. The railroad company kindly
consented to attach a car to the express for
the accommodation of the friends of the
deceased. Many carriages were in attend
ance to escort the funeral procession to the
W. E. Church, where the solemn service of
the occasion was performed by Rev. DR..
Stevenson, of Wilmington, assisted by the
Revs. Wilson, Dare, Presiding Elder j. B.
Quigg, and others. The deceased was a
young man, and leaves a wife and two chill
dren to lament his sudden demise. He
only being confined to the house three
days, it seemed as though death had claim
I'd its victim from the first; all attempts to
release him from its relentless hand baffled

which led to the above affair, arose from
Shaw refusing to allow Powell to put wet
corn, which he was hauling from the field,
into crib with the other corn, thereby en-
dangering the whole lot in the crib; but
cleared another crib for the corn and re-
quested Powell to put it in it. This he
refused to do, and Immediately drove the
load away from the farm, selling it to Mr.
Shippers, without Mr.. Shaw knowing where
it went. A few days LATER Powell wanted
to put another wet load into the same crib,
and was again refused. Shaw, some time
after, went to another part of the farm to
attend to some work, and on his return,
found that Powell had harnessed up his
team of horses and drove this load off, too.
Being very wild pair of horses, and al
ways giving much trouble when near the
cars, Shaw did not allow Powell to drive
the horses away from the farm, but had a
yoke of oxen for this purpose. On finding
the horses and corn gone, and supposlng he
had taken it to North East to sell, Shaw
mounted another horse and started in pur-
suit, overtaking him Just before reaching
Shippers farm, to which place Powell
drove, and proceeded to unload the corn.
Shaw did not say anything further than to
caution him to be careful how he backed
the team as the harness was broken
Powell stopped unloading and asked Shaw
if he had any business there with him, to
which Shaw replied that he had nothing
further than to see that his team was taken
care of, and also told him that he took the
team away without authority. Powell
told him he had better leave instantly, or
he would make him, which proposition
Shaw paid no attention to, when Powell
jumped from the wagon and dealt the old
man some unmerciful blows with his drv
ing stick, cursing him and telling him to
run. This he continued for some time,
stopping twice to get his breath. The
blows were heard a distance of an hundred
yards by the workmen on the railroad.
Although there were several Individuals
who claim to be men, within twenty five
yards looking on, even when the old gen.
tleman called for help, not a single one of
them interfered at all, but allowed Powell
to thrash away to his hearts content.

LOST AND GAINED.

Mr.. EDIToR:-W see in the last issue of
THE Wing, from your Rising Sun cores
pendent that CDR. Worrall lost sixty votes"
there land gained eight which he thinks
is "a sad warning to all candidates who
rely upon an unpopular interest for sup
port"
Your correspondent is evidently mistak-
en-; for the candidates who relied upon
the interest he alludes to are jubilant rather
than sad over their success. There should
be no doubt in the minds of the people as
to the relation the successful candidate he Id
in regard to the whisky interest. Mr.
knight is an avOwed anti local optionist,
and was elected to the State Senate, on
that issue four years ago. DR.. Turner
wanted to go to the Legislature two years
ago that he might vote for the repeal
of the law known as the Grand Jury law,
(Which law we believe he voted for in the
preceding legisature) because it was I'M
popular with the whisky men and initiated
against the Democratic parry There is
no further proof required to show how Mr.
Miller stands on the liquor question, and
Mr. Touchstone is known by the company
he keeps.
The temperance men made an effort in
the last Republican convention to nominate
all prohibiLionists for the legislature; had
they succeeded it is probable that the Repub-
licans would not have polled more than
twelve or fifteen hundred votes in the
county. DR.. Worrall was nominated
instead of Mr.. Baderston to keep temper
ance from being made a political issue; as
he was the only man on the Legislative
ticket not identified with the temperance
men in order to show their strength in the
county. cut him and concentrated their
strength on Mr.. Ricketts,. Their weakness
shows their folly; we do not wish to impli-
cate Mr.. Ricketts, in this movement. If
temperance was left out of politics the
Republicans would carry the county at the
next general election
