Remarks were also made by tho
Rev. Mr.. Donnelly.
Among other things that took

$40 to No. |. Both companies
then marched to the fair grounds,

The First Agricultural Fair.

For several wears we have been
proudly proclaiming to the world
that, for the settler who desired a
home, no better place could be
found than Alpena county, and es-
pecially for person possessed Of
small means. During those years,
we have had several sharp encoun-
tiers with the enemies of the Alpe-
ma farmers. We have never hest
tated to break a lance with the
men who have done their best to
ridicule the farmers and create n
feeling of dissatisfaction among the
citizens. At last the farmers and
citizens determined to unite their
forces and have q pitched battle
with the enemy, and thus forever
end the dispute.
On the 2lst of September, they
assembled in the Court Room, or
ganized their forces, elected their
officers, appointed the 10th and 18th
of October as the time, and the rink
as the field, when and where the
battle should take place. Now, as
no one in the county had the least
idea that a fair would be held this
year, no preparations had been
made, and thus those who intended
to take an active part in the con-
flict, had to be contented with such
things as they had about their
premises, and gardens we're looked
over to see If there was anything
in them worth exhibiting, stocks
examined, and those persons who
had been so fortunate as to keep
few specimens Of the products of
stheir young orchards, felt some
what elated at their good luck
The ladies hunted up their best
specimens of needlework, quilts,
etc, and merchants and manufac-
turers collected such things as they
kept usually on hand. In the
meantime the committees in charge
of the fair, we're industriously at
work In getting the rink in read
mess, fencing in the grounds, fix
ing premiums and other necessary
matters.
When the day Of action came,
the people Of Alpena we're ready
with their hastily gathered exhi-
bits of Alpena's productions, and
the result is that the enemy has
been completely vanquisbed, his
infantry, cavalry, artillery, home
guards, reserves, suffers, medical
and signal corps, and the mule
train being totally annibilatod, and
we challenge the Union TO produce
better samples Of farm produce,
han was exhibited at the rink.
The fair was a grand success, the
Exhibits showed the ordinary pro-
Iuctions of the county. as no es-
,ecial effort had been taken to make
breed growths, for the reason that
o one expected TO exhibit their

Seven Castaways Rescued.

Messrs. George Howes & Co.. own
ers of the clipper ship Jabez Howes,
have received letter from the COM
mander, Capt. Golf, in which is detailed
the circumstances of the rescue, on the
22d of last March, of seven sailors left
by the schooner Charles Shearer
(Which vessel is supposed to be LOST,
of Stonington, on the Diego Ramirez
Islands, off Cape Horn. The Jabez
Howes had been lying off Cape Horn
for more than week, making only fifty
miles Roadway in that time, when a
favorable wind arose, and she was Just
starting off again on her course when
Capt. Golf detected a slight column of
smoke on the land in the distance, and
feeling that it was signal of distress,
put back to the relief of the unfortu-
mates.
Before land was reached the vessel
was met by whaling boat, which had
put off from the shore to head her off,
and the crew, consisting of seven ca
daverOus men, were taken on board.
They proved to be detachment from
the crew of the Shearer. They were
left on the Ramirez Islands in the month
of October last with provisions for three
months. The schooner went on her
way, cruising near the Horn, and was
to have returned for them on the 1st of
January. But she did not, and the
seven men were driven to desperate re-
sources to support life during the en-
suing three months. Their food con-
sisted chiefly of seal flesh, penguins,
mussels, and other equally unpleasant
viands. Seeing the Jabez Howes in
the distance they lighted signal fire,
and were filled with joy when the YES.
sci turned her head toward the land.
The men when taken on board were in
deplorable condition, some of them
having suffered from the scurvy.
Shortly after the rescue had been
made, the Jabez Howes was struck by
hurricane, which made sad havoc
with her spars, though leaving the hull
unchanged. The fore and main top.
gallantmasts and the heads of the top
mast and of the mainmast, with all theil
rigging, were carried away, and fol
nine days the only canvas set were
the lower topsails. Her destination
San FranciscO-was, however, safely
reached after a voyage of 120 days from
New York. The owners of the vesse
have telegraphed to their agents in SaI
Francisco to give the second mate
Joseph Rudington, a free passage Il
New York in one of their other vessels
