All three of the points mentioned are
of great interest to our citizens and
have been under discussion for some

OF permitting travelling men to come

paying the privilege tax imposed upon
our tradesmen. Swarms of outsiders
have poured into our State during the
past two or three years and have sold
goods with the benefit of the margin
of taxation in their favor. OF course,
under these circumstances, they could
undersell those who YER required by
our laws to pay taxes. Our merchants

never had enough to eat. The French owned,

ARE THE
Red Letter Days for Butler Co.
For then the Butler county Agricuitu-
raj Society will hold its
THIRD ANIMAL FAIR.

The coming Fair of the Butler County Agri-
cultural society, to be held in this town on
TueSty, Wednesday and Thursday, of week az
ter next, is exciting more than usual interest
all over the county. 1t is generally expected
to be the largest, finest and most important
Fair vet held in the county. People begin to
realize that the active members of the society
mean business, and are equal to the duty of
getting up first class agricultural exhibition.
The grounds and buildings have been pui in
admirable condition.
The premium list, divided as it is into forty
eeo different classes, and covering the multi
tude of farm products, stock, manufactured ar
tices, fancy work, etc, is all that could be de-
sired.
The liberal premiums for stock, which will
be paid on the grounds. as will be all preJhI-
ums, are expected 10 bring out all the best
stock in the county. In fact the entries already
exceed the accommodations originally provided.
If you have anything worth taking to the
Fair, by all means take il and stay there. Meals
can be had on the grounds at reasonable rates.
Hacks will run at low rates, and but twenty
five cents admission for adults viii be charged
Bring in Your family, your friends and neigh
bors and come prepared to have a good time
Remember the dates, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, September 2lst, 22d and 23rd.

"A dispatch from ST. Augustine,
Fla, gives but too much reason to beheye that
the steamer Vera Cruz, of the Havanna and
Mexican line, has been lost, with all her pas
sengers and crew. Parts of the mail she must
have carried from New York have been washed
ashore, and the correspondent telegraphs that
cargo supposed to be hers strews the shore for
forty miles below st. Augustine Several bodies
have been washed ashore, and trunk bearing
the name of one of the passengers in the ship
A large steamer, now supposed to haye been
the Vera Cruz, was seen on the Saturday pre-
vious about sixty miles off shore from st. Au-
gustine by brig which was wrecked in The
gale which broke out on Sunday. 1t was on
the following Thursday that the mail matter
was washed ashore. Nothing is known by the
owners in New York concerning the vessels fate.
The Havana cable is, unfortunately, not work
ing, so that no inquiries can be made there. The
Vera Cruz was a staunch ship, and her owners
say well manned and ably commanded. There
is but to much reason to fear that she foundered
in the hurricane which has this last week
strewn the Southern coast with wrecks.
n. B.-Since the above was written the news
of the loss of this steamer has been confirmed.
Seventy-fve persons went down with her.

The Coming Heir.

Up to yesterday no word had come
to America of the birth of the long
looked for heir to the Spanish Throne.
1t is safe to say that not for many
years has an expected addition to q
family called together crowd such as
is now gathered about the apartments
of the Queen of Spain. Usually the
persons present on such an occasion
are privately notified in advance by
the lady who provides the entertain
ment, and, being selected for sympa-
.thetic purposes, they naturally are of
the sex that know how it-in short,
they are women. Even the doctor
never makes his appearance until sum-
moned by painting husband or a gal
Looping messenger But the invitations
to Queen Christmas interesting event
have been issued by the Lord Cham
berlain, and although the crowd might
be exactly to his own liking in case he
had any duty like the Queens to per-
form, it seems hardly such party as
Her Majesty would have selected had
she been consulted Every member of
it is of the gender that is utterly use
less on such occasions Among them
are grave diplomats, astute Cabinet
officers, sanity prelates and proud
mobiles; but it would be safe to offer a
million to one that not man of the
whole body knows catnip from pepper
mint or could give the royal baby its
first bath, or knows how to handle the
scales so as TO be able to assure the ex-
pectant father that he had landed a
ten-pounder And in case of twins-a
possibility that the Lord Chamberlain,
never having been mother; has en-
tirely overlooked-why, it would be
just like the stupid old fellows to mix
those babies up and knock the whole
question of the Spanish succession into
the limbo of eternal uncertainties.

the secession of the South curtailed the patron

5,65O,O00 bales. 1t says: "There is great talk
whether it can rise to 100000 bales, for the
reason that there is not the force to gather such
a crop If we have the time it may be gather
ed, but that, of course, is extremely doubtful.
The last season was extraordinarily mild and
protracted, and picking was continued till the
last lock was gathered. 1t would be unreason-
able to hope for another such season; and on
the other hand, with an early frost and stormy
and cold weather, progress in picking would be
seriously interrupted. All experience teaches
the South that a cold, finger -benumbing day
picking goes on slowly, and it is hard to keep
hands at work So in wet weather they cannot
and should not be kept at work. Hence the
