After the reading of which the

Guss, who proceeded to deliver an
address on the subject of Journalism
IN the Valley of the Juniata. The
Professor 5 address is too long for
publication in newspaper columns ex-
ceptlnS as in serial form. 4 number
OF the company. who had gone off on
an excursion to Ebensburg, the coun-
ty seat of Cambria county, returned.
and amidst the confusion incidental
to the return the Professor Withdrew.
1t Is the intention to have the address
published, as the passage of the fol
lowing resolutions indicate:
WHEREAS, 1t is Of the highest i'm
Portance to journalism in Central
Pennsylvania that the history of the
press of the Juniata Valley Printers
Association, as prepared to be read
by Professor 4. L. Guss. on this the
9th day of September, 1879, at Cres-
son, Cambria county, be preserved in

Resoired, That Professor A L. Guss
be requested t.. give to the respective
editors OF the newspaper Offices with
IN the limits OF the association such
manuscript as relates - each Off e.
with the request that it be corrected
an prepare for publication.
Re,"ired, That each editor be re
quested to furnish the Professor with
such data rs viii enable him to ALI
a brief biographical sketch Of each
and every editor connected with the
press within the limits of the associ-
alton, 50 that a brief personal his
tory Of each editor may be preserved
with the history Of the respective
newspapers.
ReSoiced, That all editors who
choose to do so may add their own
personal picture and tie picture of
their Office building to the book at
their own expense.
Resoired, That Professor 4. I. Guss
be Chairman of committee of six
members Of the association to pro
vide the ways and means to secure
the binding of the said history.
ResoiUed. That no fewer than two
copies for each office be printed and
bound.
The formal business thus disposed
of, the assembly dispersed Many of
the excursionists left by the sos O.
clock evening train eastward; others
at half-past q clock evening, and the
for later trains.
The printers living on the various
branch roads passed resolutions of
thanks to the management of rail
roads for the favors extended to the
fraternity.

STATE FAIR At PHILADELPHIA.


The State Fair OF 1879, which opened on
Monday. the SIN INST, at Philadelphia. pre-
seuts 70 iis exhibitors an exhibition never
before Witnessed in this Com. oEwealth,
save only the ever-memorabie event OF the
CentcnuiIi year.
The capacity OF the Main Building, which
our readers Will recollect, covers more than
twenty-five acres, together with the en-
closed space adjacent, are filed with fine
herbs OF cattle AID horses, the newest I'M
pfoyemcuts in labur-Stviug N chinery,
fruits, flowers, and seeds in Proiusion. to-
gcthcr with all the domestic manufacturers,
&c, which contribute 50 largely and ,fcct-
udlly 10 displays OF this character.
Among the exhibits which space enables
u to enumerate, is a large collection Of
thoroughbred aud imported draft horses,
fine-bred horses of rare strains, including
the celebrated Arabian stations recently
presented to General Grant by the Sultan
Of Turkey a better variety of shOrt-hOrn
herds Jhin ever cOngryg gated together in the
United States heretofore, together with the
most extensive display OF iiue-hred Jersey
and Guernsey cattie ever shown at any vX-
h.btIon. To this can be- added a fine dis
play OF Ayrshire aud Devon cattle, with Il
splendid shov of fine lorg and middle
woolej sheep. choice varieties of Chester,
Berkshire, and Poland China swine, and ali
other live stock ia proportion.
\ prominent and interesting feature will
be cheese and butter factory from Utica,
y. Y, in practical operation, turning out
each hour large quantities OF the best and
choicest products Of the dairy. This ex-
traordiBary attraction has been secured by
the managers at a cost OF ore thousand dol
lars.
The applications for motive-power to
drive the machinery in motion have tested
the ingenuity OF the obliging managers, and
: the contributions OF agricultural produce
are simply immense. The Camden and At
/ lantic Railroad will show the products OF
| the farm and gardens along their line, and
/ the Vineland Society has postponed Its an
nuai tyhisiiion and turned all its efforts in
/ favor of the show at Philadelphia Little
Delaware sends rich supplies of her fruits To
compete with the orchards of Pennsylvania.
Indeed, the exhibition is rather an inter
/ State than a State affair, and the manufic-
turers of philadelphia have found it out
and have gone to work in earnest.

CITY HALL T

The Commissioners Of the McDonogh
School Fund are still considering the bids
opened Tuesday for the erection OF school
house No. 12. The contract will be awarded
to no one until the commissioners satisfy
themselves OF the ability Of the bidders from
whom they have to select to perform and pay
for the work. Extra care and caution Is
being exercised, for in two instances the com
missioners have had trouble with contractors.
After the work was under way the builders
nave found that their bids were too low and
that they could not continue, and the COM
missioners have had to intervene to save the
property and have the buildings completed.
Administrator Houston and City Surveyor
Brown made a tour OF the levees and streets
Of the upper districts yesterday. They re-
port everything In excellent condition.
In regard to the threatened deficit In the
budget of the recorders courts, it must be
stated that although a large force Of clerks,
etc, have been employed, the number
allowed by law has not been exceeded, and
only those authorized have been placed on
duty. However, some months g official no.
tice was given that the monthly expenses OF
the courts were In excess OF ~One-twelfth OF
the appropriation for the year, and that I'M
less q reduction was made there would be O
deficit. This notice appears to have been
overlooked, and now q heavy reduction is
necessary to bring the expenses within the
balance still remaining.
