The Agricultural Fair.

Well, the great event of the year is over, and
as we pause to catch our breath after week OF
excitement, we make bold to note a few facts
and impressions for the benefit of those who
could not reach the great rallying-point of our
county.
The society is just four years old and growing
apace; each year developing more interest and
the display becoming more and more astonish.
ing. Among SO many excellencies 1t is very
hard to discriminate, and our sympathies often
went out to the judges, who must naturally
have been quite appalled, at the stupendous task
they undertook.
The Floral Department was very beautiful,
and the array of fall flowers gorgeous indeed
The little wild flowers were not neglected, and
formed into modest bouquets by those who love
to revel In the simple beauties of nature.

MEETING OF CoNeREss-The special ses-
sion of the 45th Congress commenced at
Washington ON Monday. The Senate assem-
bled, and after admitting several new mem
bers adjourned until Tuesday. In the
House the roll was called by Mr.. Adams,
clerk Of the last House, and 297 members
answered to their names. Hon. Samuel j.
Randall, of Pennsylvania, was then elected
Speaker, receiving 140 votes, against 1872
votes cast for Hon. James A. Garfield, Re-
publican, of Ohio.
The organization of the House was COM
pleted by the election of the nominees of the
Democratic caucus. as follows: Clerk, Geo.
M. Adams, of Kentucky; sergeant.at-arms,
j. G. Thompson, of Ohio; doorkeeper, J. W.
Polk, of Missouri; postmaster, J. M. Steuart,
of Virginia; chaplain, Rev. John Poisal, of
the Southern Methodist Church. After the
drawing for seats had been concluded the
House also adjourned until Tuesday.
The selection of Mr.. Randall as Speaker of
the new House of Representatives empha-
sizes the position of majority of the Demo-
cratic party on some of the important ques-
lions of governmental policy. He contribut-
ed more than any other member of the last
Congress to cut down the expenses of the
government $3O,0OO,000. He is opposed to
increasing the army. He is in favor of the
most rigorous economy in the affairs of gov
eminent. He never voted for subsidy in
his life, and those who are seeking to appro-
pirate vast amount of the public lands and
money to aid in the construction of railroads
and other private enterprises, know they
have nothing to expect from him. He is
thoroughly in accord with the spirit of the
Democratic party, and his selection in the face
of the opposition of President Hayes, Tom
Scott and other friends of the Texas-Pacific
railroad, is an earnest of the intention of the
Democratic party to live up to its platform
and its principles.

Although President Hayes's Southern
policy meets with the approval of Democrats
it has utterly failed to "electrify" hitherto
Republican States. His own State of Ohio
turned her back upon him last week, and
went Democratic by $4,000 or 10000 MAORI
ty And even Iowa, the banner State of the
Republicans, falters, and by another election
may be wrested from Republican CONTROL
The great Republican majority of SO ,22S for
Hayes over Tilden last year has been wofully
diminished, and the majority of &C for the
Republicans in the Legislature is broken into
fragments Ohio gone; Iowa tottering; the
people everywhere and on every occasion
expressing their sense of the great wrong by
which Mr.. Hayes profted-where can he
turn for consolation?

THE GLEN Rock BAND.-The concert by
the Glen Rock Cornet Band, in the Town
Hall, last Thursday and Friday nights, gave
general satisfaction. The instrumental music
was exceedingly credtable, especially the
performance on the cornet by the leader OF
the band, Mr.. N. 2. Soitz. The comedy OF
the "Green Dutchman" and his troubles, was
very amusing. The proceeds were generous

DIR. JOHN &. POLK.
Beneath st. Mary's quiet shade,
His manly form was laid at rest
By sorrowing friends, whose tears betrayed
The inward feelings of the breast
His genial smile and friendly voice
Are hushed forever more;
No more with him will we rejoice,
As oft we have, in days of yore.
His kindly words surpassed his skill,
And gave to PROSTATE weakness strength;
His manner cured, where Others kill,
Or give disease protracted length.
His noble heart, acute to feel
The anguish of another's grief,
But never did his acts reveal,
Yet freely gave for their relief.
His death has left a vacant space, rs
Untitled, except by friendships tears;
Alas who now will fill that place
He nobly filled TOR many years?
He needs no stone; no sculptured fame,
With eulogistic words to scan,
His acts speak out in language plain,
Here lies an honest man.

She had home above,
She had q God to love,
She had Saviour in the sky,
Who bid her come to Him on high.
There through eternity she'll sing
The praises of her Heavenly King;
Aloud her newborn voice will raise
TO shout her dear Redeemer's praise.
And angels bright, with music sweet,
viii greet her weary, wandering feet,
And those from here that's gone before
Will meet her on that happy shore.
She had place above to rest,
Safe folded to her Saviour's breast,
To dwell forever in His love,
Safe in her heavenly home above.
