THE END OF SUMMER.-The summer
of 1879 is practically at an end, though
we may yet have few days of sultry
weather, and are pretty sure to have
many warm autumn days. that are as
charming and exhilarating as the best
or brightest of the summer. 1t has been
season of marked and sudden changes
of weather, with very severe storms and
many warm spells, though on the whole
most comfortable season. The season
has been an uncommonly healthy one,
and this result was undoubtedly due to
several causes, among which were the
comfortable weather, the abundance and
cheapness of berries and other fruits,
and of vegetables, the general employ
ment of the laboring classes. which en-
abled them to purchase suitable food,
and the ability of so many to enjoy the
cheap excursions provided. In the bus
mess world there has been activity and
on every hand evidence of returning
prosperity. 1aals'o sdsn a

THE COUNTY FAIR.

Are the citizens of the town and coun-
ty getting ready for the County Fair ?
The success of the fair will depend
largely in the efforts of the people, who
ought to make it useful and beneficial
to all. The officers are sparing no pains
ON their part, and we trust the people
will do as we'll. There is large amount
of excellent stock in the county, that
ought to be exhibited this fall. Of
cattle nearly every blood is raised here,
and the public will be pleased to see the
best in the county. There has always
been good show of horses, and this
year will not be an exception. While
more attention is being turned to sheep,
we hope to see large show of this
stock. Hogs, at three cents pound, are
not worth showing at present, perhaps,
but hogs will be hogs again before long.
In the mechanical and agricultural hall
we hope to see large exhibition. The
ladies have filled their department quite
full of late and they will appreciate the
offer of the society, in giving them free
admission tickets for bringing new and
meritorious articles for exhibition. Those
who wish to see and hear Gen. Banks,
will have the privilege on the second
day of the Fair. There is no need of
saying word, pro or con, in regard to
the third day devoted to trotting. Those
who are "hoss" characters, and a large

any way. Right or wrong, about five
out of six will attend horse race il
they can do it. No place has better
record for fairness, for quiet and good
order than Roaring Brook Park. There
is no time to waste, and those intending
to make exhibits at the Fair should be
ready. :

LETTER FROM NEW YORK
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MONITOR
NEW YORK, Sept. |, 1879.


NEW YORK, Sept |, 1879.
A few days ago trip up the Hudson
River, made partly for business and part
ly for pleasure. brought me in the neigh
borhood of Poughkeepsie. Here. certain
friends, bent upon showing me the objects
of interest, proposed visit to Yassar
College. | consented, for | blush to own
it Il had never investigated that won-
derful seat of learning, through from the
time of its foundation, my ears had been
filled with its renown.
The town of Poughkeepsie is a delight
full place. and the country around and
about, is as fertile and healthful as any
that can be found on this broad eenti-
nent.
Poughkeepsie, lying on the eastern
bank of the river. is easily reached by
rail from North, South, East or West,
at nearly every hour in the day. and it
is also connected with Albany and New
York by several lines of steamboats,. 1t is
celebrated for its boarding schools, COM
mercial collsge, and State asylum. It's
educational institutions give instruction
to some |, 200 students every year.
Pre.eminent. however, in the minds of
all Americans, in connection with Pough-
keepsie, stands Vassar College.
The college grounds cover space of
two hundred acres, third of which has
been ornamentally laid out by the cele-
brated artists Olmsted and Vaux. The
remainder is used as farm and garden.
In describing the buildings and grounds
cannot do so more effectively than in
the words of the Rev. H. II. Mcfarland,
who has written exhaustively upon the
subject to Scri6ner's Magazine. He
said:
Going out from Poughkeepsie, soon
after entering upon the College grounds,
you pass through the gateway and por.
ter's lodge
This structure is utilized by its afford.
ing two dwelling for the families of men
employed upon the College Farm. At a
straight distance of 1000 feet stands
the main College building. the roadway
thither hanked right and left by ever
greens.
These superb facilities for producing
the mems sama IN sa,ao corpore. and fol-
developing aesthetic taste. are in constant
use. By college regulation each stu
dent, save in stormy weather, is to b.
out in the grounds twenty minutes every
day, and sixty minutes every other day

The desperate strait the democratic
papers are in to find something to offset
the bulldOzing and shooting that is being
used in the south to kill out the ''inde-
pendent" movement, is shown by an at
tempt to compare it to the assault on Ben.
Drown of Sutton, VT, by q set of fellows
who tarred and feathered him for harbor-
ing a shady female. This scrape is
rather an unheard Of theory for republi-
can Vermont, and something that neither
public sentiment sanctions nor the law
tOlerates. But it will not quite compare
with the Hamburger massacre, the CHS
holm murders, and the Yazoo shooting.
Whatever party or paper undertakes to
belittle an affair like that of Yazoo
shows partizan bigotry and blindness
that is pitiful. When republicans of
Vermont or democrats of Mississippi I'M
dertake to cOerce the opposite party or
to take rival candidates out of the world

respectable people of all parties to speak

The condition of Rev. KallOch, shO,

The condition of Rev. Kalloch, shot
by De Young at San Francisco. is con-
tinually improving, and it is now report
ed that he is out of danger, though this
is probably premature. According to
the present opinion of the physicians, the
bullet merely grazed the lung. No effort
has yet been made to probe the wound.
The wOrkingmen's guards on duty about
the Metropolitan temple have been re-
placed by the police. The De YOungs
are in constant communication with their
Office, and their paper. the Chronicle, is
still issued under their direction. Charles

bail by Chief Justice Wallace in twenty

The SPRING WHEAT YIELD.-The
Chicago Daily Commercial Bulletin has
issued its annual estimate of the spring
wheat crop of the Northwest. Reports
were received from three hundred and
eight counties in the Western states and
territories, embracing over 100000
acres devoted to the nrndnctinn IF snrine
wheat. The total acreage is estimated
at 1865, 935, against 9,514,739 last
year; average yield per acre, 1892
bushels, against Lao last year; aggre-
gate yield, 1877, 100000 bushels, against
OS,745,O00 last year. showing an in
crease of 29,l05,O0O bushels. The
quality is generally reported very good
better than for some years past.

In the statement of British financial
and industrial affairs, by cable. three
points will attract attention. 1t is esti-
mated that 81. 100000 will be sent to
the United States within short period,
100000 having been withdrawn from
bank on Thursday for this purpose. And
the Fsndncser declares that no export
of bonds or merchandise can possibly
settle the balance Of trade which is ac-
cumulating on account of the demand
for American breadstuffs. In various
parts of England and Wales, there is a
renewal of the floods, and the condition
of the crops is deplorable. Eighty farm
ers have left Liverpool for this country
in consequence of their dissatisfaction
and encouragement at home. These are
not men in search of employment. They
have been tenants of small holdings
and they bring with them the means tc
one group having joint capital OF
$4,000. All this is unpromising fol-
the future prosperity of England, what
ever may be the advantage temporarily
gained by our own country. And as M
civilized nation can suffer severely in it,
industrial interests without eventually
entailing some loss upon humanity, thu
story of British disaster must be reaC
with genuine regret.

Harris Lewis, of Herkimer, was nomi-
mated for Governor by the New York
Greenbackers at Utica on Friday, after
tempestuous session, in which the
names of Allen G. Beach and Richard
Schell, were received with derisive Kisses.
The unbought convention completed its
"-~----,- s-TU0r passing Uur dangerous reel
of the Governorship, with comparative
tranquility. Something of the mutinous
character of the delegates may be infer
red from the fact that the Chairman of
the convention was openly stigmatizcd
as "a minion of Tammany, and "a ma
tiOnal banker" This happy talent for
description reappears in reference to
Denis Kearney, as "agitator, advocate,
and statesman" who was congratulated
on the forbearance which kept him from
killing De Young, and was further re-
quested to live long "to carry out his
heaven-inspired mission" Then the
convention went home.

Evidence is constantly accommodating
to show that the murder of Dixon in
Yazoo was not the result of a street broil.
Barksdale himself has contributed some
of this in letter to a relative, in which
he says that "higher considerations than
even those of self.defense actuated" him.
He hints that one of these considerations
was revenge for an alleged SANDER of
'dear" ones. How the slandered per-
sons were benefited by shooting in the
back the man accused of dcfaming them,
is Mississippi problem which we do
not pretend to solve. But letter from
Mrs. Dixon, in which Dixon's dying
statement. under oath, is recited, shows
that Dixon disclaimed to Barksdale all
intention of harming him, and, further,
that the report that he had threatened
Barksdale was spread by the politicians
who were trying to drive him from the
political contest. The pretext of self
defense is an idle one. Mrs. Dixon re.
seDts with great warmth the insinuation
that her husband was an finfdel." She
says: IA few hours before his death he
was baptized into the Catholic Church.
. o. And at his bedside knelt two
Sisters Of the Holy Order Of Nazareth,
and offered prayers for the departing
soul Of him who. during the epidemic Of
last year, had nursed their priest and

THE sPRAGUE SCANDAL.

The Sprague- Chase Conkling scandal,
at last, comes to the public eye, in a
way that requires notice. Mrs. Kate
Chase Sprague, daughter of the Secreta-
ry, Salmon P. Chase, and wife of ex-
Col.-ex- Gov.-ex-Senator Sprague of
Rhode Island, left her home last Satur-
day evening at Canochet, and the resi-
dence Of her husband, with her three
youngest children, and departed to un-
known quarters, in despite of the most
close watch of her husband and his SER
wants, and of their most diligent pursuit.
Her friends assign her constant fear Of
bodily harm from her drunken husband
as the cause of her clandestine departure.
The three children that accompany her
are Ethel, aged nine, Kate, aged FIVE,
and POrtia, aged four. A little boy,
Willie aged thirteen, remains with his
father,
