LAMoILLE COUNTY FAIR.

The Fiflh Annual Fair OF the La
moille County Fair Ground Go. was,
in some respects, a success, and in
Others, a failure. A great amount Of
dissatisfaction has been occasioned,
and we doubt not that some of it, at
least, is well grounded. As a local
paper, it is our duty to give our read
ers a report of the affair, and, with
the aid of an experienced reporter, we
have endeavored to do so.
OF course it would be impossible to
make mention of everything, and we
have not attempted to. The entries,
over GEO i'm number, we have not had
space for. Next week, we shall take
occasion to ventilate, editorially, our
idea of Fairs, in genera, and this one
in particular.
NOTES.
The horse show was not remarkably
fine, though some good horses were
exhibited. On draft, there were six
entries, the winning team, being a
span belonging to II. Dodge of Nor
risville, one Z and one s years old.
J. NJ. Campbell took second money
with pair of seven-year-olds. VIM.
Wheeler of Hyde Hank, b. w. Green
and G. A. Davis of Morristown, and
Jerry Lee of Elmorc, also presented
each n span for this premium.
Eleven stations were entered; two
1-year-olds, one years old, three 3
years old, two years old, one Z, one
8, and one old patriarch Of 10 years.
The first premium for 4-year-olds and
upward was easily taken by John Ut
ton of Morrisville, and the best 3-year-
<old decided to be that of G. A. Harris,
though w. S. Cheney and G. w.
GRAY each exhibited fine colts. A .J Nc
ClintOck showed 2-year-old beauty.
Four brood mares with their fOal were
exhibited, the fine young four-year-old
belonging to S. Harris of Morristown,
taking first money. OF the driving
thorses there was no great show save
the flne span exhibited by B. F. Wiley
of Cambridge.
About 20 colts were exhibited, the
best, By far, being the twO-year-olds.
@. NJ. Fitch Of johnson, showed a bay
morgan colt, which weighed 1850, well
proportioned, and destined to make a
grand horse if nothing happens to him.
Mr.. Fitch, however, yielded gracefully
: to let MsyeGlt,take second place when
ycosapared to the beautiful be1st eXhib-
Jted by j. W. Drown of MorI"istown.
There were other fine tWO-ye. or-olds
also. Six three-year-0lds were Shown,
The first premium being taken by W..
w. Delano of Elmore, and second by
Dan. Smith of MorristOwn. ii. >.
Towne showed a fine yearling colt.
There was quite a show Of poultry.
Three eoope near the hall attracting
much attention. The Star-Spangled
IIambunghs, the Folands, and the
PET Sea Bright Bantumns. The latter
received maay encomiums from the
ladies. l.. w. Blaisdell was the own
or, and we learn that he keeps a fine
assortmentof different kinds. In a
neat white Heabin home" were some of
ahe .handsomest White Leghorns we
had ever seen, exhibited by $. N.
Palmer of Morrisville. A. j. Max

Something About Meerschaum.

The word meerschum is derived
from the German and its literal trans
lation means (meer) Sea, and Schaum
(foam), Sea-foam, but this is not its
component parts, as many suppose
it to be. It is a kind of clay, COM
posed of magnesia combined with
silex or flint. The name was pro-
bably given it on account OF its pure
whiteness Of color and lightness OF
weight. It is found chiefly in Tur-
key, Asia Minor, in the district OF
Natalia and Eskashia, which is quite
far from any commercial port, and
makes its transportation thereto, on
camels, very costly. 1t is found in
mines near marshes which are always
vet, and in certain seasons OF the
year 50 much 50, that the workmen
are forced to leave, because the wind
mill used in pumping the water out
of the mine has no longer the power
TO keep the mine dry. When the

A CoNrRARY JuRoR. Hampton
Kelly, the obstinate Jurors, who
stood out firmly against the eleven
who were in favor of convicting
Stiles, gives substantially the follow
ing reasons for his conduct in favor
of the acquittal of the defendant.
His manner of weighing the evil
dence in the case, and particularly
of Stiles testimony before the inves-
tigation commission, was as follows:
Gov. Growers evidence places him
(Grover) in the position, at the time,
in the place and for the purpose as
specified in Stiles testimony, made
under oath before the commission
Mr.. Watkins testimony places him
in position and at the time as speci-
fed in Stiles oath; Mr.. Gilfry's evil
dence places him near by, at all
events, at the time of hearing what
was alleged to have been said &C.
cording to what Stiles swore to be-
fore the commission; Mr.. Good
mans oath specifies that he Good
many, on the following day did
what was claimed in Stiles testi-
mony q. e, he voted for Grover).
In the absence of any proof of NAL
ice on the part Of Stiles, Mr. Kelly
says he could not console nj tiously
consign the defendant to tho PEN
itentiAry.

made OF raw nserschaum and
smoked, it would never show The
beautiful color 30 much desired By
the smoker, because the oil of tobac-
CO, which is absorbed by the pipe,
would come through and evaporate;
but if a pipe is boiled in . prepar-
alton Of wax, it will absorb It, and
o thin coating Of wax will be held ON
the surface of the pipe, and it will
take high polish. The oil Of tobac-
CO, which is absorbed by the pipe, 10
retained under the wax, and grows
darker in accordance with the guam
tity of tobacco smoked in q pipe.
II the principle OF coloring and
using a meerschaum is understood,
the labor will be very simple. In
the first place, you should smoke
very slowly and let the pipe cool o
before smoking a second time, the
object of this is to keep the wax an
far up on the bowl Of the pipe as
possible; If you smoke too fast you
would overhead it and drive the wax
off thus leaving the pipe dry and
raw. Never cover a pipe in . case
or any other covering, because the
wax, instead of remaining upon the
pipe. will be absorbed by the materi-

are two small earthern flower pots,
in each of which grows a thrifty
plant of English ivy, extending some
six feet in length and forming by
their united branches q beautiful,
natural living wreath, with their star
shaped leaves, above the frame in
which are seen the familiar faces Of

ing TO some 0XG0uvt0 OIB0uz0 ~
National Grange, he owed his posi-
ton as its Master from December 4,
1866, until January, 1877, when
Dudley D. Adams, of Iowa, was
elected Master. Mr.. Adams, zeal
GUS advocate of farmers rights, and
owner of q fine fruit farm near Wau-
kon, Iowa, made a very efficient exec
utive head and presiding officer, and
was succeeded, in November, rs, by
Judge John T. Jones, of Arkansas,
than who there could be no more
conservative patriot, nor more able
and earnest worker for the cause OF
the American farmers. As the term
of officers is now but two years, a
new Get are to be elected at the pres
ent session. Should Judge Jones
decline to be continued in office, as
it is most likely he will, Northern
member will, no doubt, succeed him ,
in accordance with the very conser-
vative principles and actions of the
Grange. Indeed, no organization
could be more conservative or truly
unsectional in its character, than the
grange has always has been. and al
ways proposes to be. These char
acteristics the farmers of the Union
value in our large and broad-princi-
pied brotherhood rs much, perhaps,
as any of its numerous excellent
features.
To show its conservative character,
it may be well to mention that its
present Executive committee OF nve
members-to be reduced after this
session to three-consists OF Colo
mel Aiken, Of South Carolina; Mr..
Chase, Of New Hampshire; Colonel
Chambers. Of Alabama; Colonel Go.-

The good name and management
of Secretary Kelly have now been
fully vindicated publicly, and it
should be known to the lasting honor
of our lady membership, and, espe-
cially, of the lady here mentioned
without her knowledge, that every
dollar paid into the Office of the Ma
tional Grange has passed through
the hands and been accounted for by
Miss Carrie Hall, Assistant, and no
one is more Justly proud to vouch for
this fact than the worthy Secretary
himself,

cold weather; nor lay it upon any
cold marble mantel, for . fine meer-
schaum will very easily become FROST
cracked. If these rules are adhered
to, any person can color q good
meerschaum in first-class style.
The genuine and imitation meer-
schaum so closely resemble each
other that good judges often are
puzzled to distinguish them; but when
they are heated, the difference be-
comes apparent. The imitation gen.
orally is composed Of the parings of
meerschaum, technically termed
"chips," and the whole substance
being unable to expend or contract
uniformly, cracks when heated, and
the oil or wax in it, not being equal
ly absorbed, slowly burns, and in
burning emits most offensive smell.
Such limitations never color, or II
they do a little, the pipe generally
cracks. These are often palmed Of
as the second quality Of genuine
meerschaum. Lightness OF weight
and ability to float in water are no
tests of the genuiness of meerschaum.
The cost is one sixth of the genuine
article.
Boiling old pipes means simply to
restore the absorbing qualities after
the pipe has been burned and the
clay baked, thereby rendering tho
pipe, for absorbing or coloring, use
less. There has been invented .
new process for boiling pipes. which
brings the color out all over the pipe,
and no matter how careless you arc
with it, you can never destroy tho
color, but it viii only become moro
beautiful By smoking.
