that territory, where the. rains fall sell

Fremont is one of the most interesting
women I ever met, Astounding in anec-

and a charming ease of manner. She
has a fine figure, portly, without an I'M
desirable degree Of enbonpoint. She
dresses elegantly, but in perfect sim
plicity. Her head is masculine in its
contour, with it's broad, fine forehead,
from which she sweeps her abundance
of snowy hair over a Martha Wash
ington roll. Her hand is wonderfully
pretty for woman of her years, look
ing as white and dimpled and pink
tipped as maiden's. She has an
adopted daughter, who is highly &C
complished, presiding like master at
the piano, and being mistress of several
foreign tongues. The report going the
rounds Of the press relative to the ex-
IRENE depths of poverty into which
the family were plunged is incorrect.

A Pleasant Incident.
Boston journal.

Our columns have given brief allu-
sions to the tour recently made by Vice
President Wheeler and his party through
the Adirondack region. Mrs. Hayes,
the wife of the president, and other
ladies, were the guests Of Mr. Wheeler,
and under his escort they travelled 10y
coach through a region Of country as
sparsely settled and almost as wild in
aspect as the frontiers The news of
the intended trip Of the distinguished
party spread through the section they
were to pass, and many impromptu and
pleasing ovatiOns, quite unexpected to
the whole party, were experienced.
While rolling through Duane township
about noon, a small American flag was
seen flying from a modest building,
which proved to be school house. As
the four-horse vehicle trundled up to
the little building, the party found that
the little school, comprising some ten
| or a dozen boys and girls, had assem-
bled in front of the house, with flags in
hand, to do them honor. The children
waved their flags, and with uncovered
heads they made the lowest and most
formal bows. There was such hearty
welcome conveyed by this unexpected
greeting that the party alighted, and
the Vice President introduced Mrs
Hayes, who had kind word and a
warm clasp for each of the little ones,
whose bright eyes were opened very
wide at the kindly and unexpected re
cognition of their effort to honor the
distinguished visitors. It was one OF
the most agreeable episodes of a very
delightful trip.

Allow me. through the columns Of the

words in regard to Riverside Park FAIR.
! was in attendance there the two last
days. | have attended corrty fairs in
Western States, and also III Eastern
counties in this Commonwealth, but
never saw any thing move Of so quietly
aud so orderly in SO large q cfowd as
was the case at Riverside PARK. Every
body seemed to enjoy themselves, from
the youngest up to the oldest. The
managers of the Association deserve a
great deal If credit for the skill with
which it was conducted. | think it
would be we'll for soms of the man
ayers OF coanty fairs to take pattern
from the work of the management Of
Riverside Park, aud SUCCESS certainly
will foliow their effort.
By making some inquiry learned
tina, this was the Fifth Annual Far.
Their success is owing to their prompt
payment OF what they promise to pay.
A regards the ,hings on exhibition, |
never saw such fine bred cattle, hngs,
sheep aud horses, 1t county fair. The
ladies' department could not be sur
passed. think the LADIES' of Juniata
county deserve great deal OF credit
Tor their display, aud | thiuk it woaId
be difficult matter for the judges TO
render satisfaction in that department.
The trottiag came off quietly and or
derby, in time, better than you gener-
ally see at county fairs. One notice
able fact was the absence of all side
shows, gambling arrangements. that |
always saw at county fairs that | at
tended, which absence impaired to this
one more of moral tone than is seen
or felt at such places generally. Upon
the whole it was perfect success, in
my estimation.

Governor Hartranft and Judge
Junkin at Riverside Park.

THE coming of Governor Hart
ranft, last Thursday, to attend the
Fair, was an event that caused quite
a stir IN the community. He arrived
from Harrisburg on the 10 o'clock
A. N. train, The committee appoint
ed to escort His Excellency to the
Fair ground were A. g. Bonsall, Z. 5.
Parker, and DR.. L. Banks. The COM
naittee were at the station when the
train came in, and there met the Gov
ernor, and Judge Junkin, President
Judge of the courts of Juniata and
Perry counties, and Immediately es-
corted them to a carriage, which, pre-
ceded by brass band, started for
the Fair Ground A large delega-
ton of citizens in carriages acted as
escort to the Governor, Judge, and
Committee. Arriving on the ground,
the Committee with the distinguished
guests, made the round of the cattle
stalls, and the exhibition houses be
fore dinner, after which tour, the
Governor and the Judge dined at the
Jacobs House.
At half-past I o'clock Judge Jun
kin began the delivery of an agricul-
tural address, from the Grand Stand,
to q large audience that was assem-
bled on the stand and in front of it
on the track. 1t is not often that
such large audience attends to hear
an address In this county.
After few Introductory remarks,
the Judge spoke of the advantages
that are now enjoyed by the people
of this community, ard other com
munities in this Commonwealth when
compared with the ways of living OF
the people of a generation or two
ago; and yet still, with ali of the ad-
vantages the productions Of the farms
may be increased, may be made to
produce another time as much as they
do now. Deep plowing and the use
of barnyard manure and a moderate
amount of lime, with other atten-
tions which make themselves appa-
rent. will bring about this desirable
result. A deeper interest should be
taken in the development of the soil,
to bring it to higher state of pro
ductiveness, and deeper interest
should be taken to keep the boys on
the farm The business OF the coun-
try, the professions of the country
had become as it were the goal o.
the young men of the country, and
it is a great mistake that it is so,
There is nothing SO solid, SO substan-
tial as the farming community. The
whole country rests on it; the well
fare of every other country rests on
it. Spain, some centuries ago, was
unfortunate to find gold and silver
in large quantities in her hills, and
immediately all the country began to
hunt gold and silver. They neglect
