The rooms of the Garfield and Ar

ton to the bakery of Woodland & Stone,
both depots, the Office of Dr.. Cody and
the residences of NJ J. Woodland and

A. S. Griswold, who was arrested in
this city last week for forgery, was to
have had his examination before Justice
Halliger Tuesday afternoon, but the non
appearance Of the principal put an end
to the proceedings. Griswold absconded,
it is thought, last Saturday NIGHT. He
was at large on bail of 81 900. He was
arrested on two complaints for forgery,
and he gave bonds for his appearance
yesterday of $500 for each complaint.
John McGraw and John Mclaughlin,
his father-in-law, both Of this city, being
| his bondsmen.
The trial of Mrs. Mack, for the murd-
er of her husband in Rock county, near
Belolt, in 1878, is in progress at Jefferson,
on a change of venue from Rock county.
| Mrs. Mack was once convicted Of the
crime and sentenced to state prison :or
| life but the supreme court set aside the
trial. Mrs. Mack Is accompanied by her
| eldest daughter, a girl aged about four
| teen, and by her brother. She wears full
mourning custom, similar to that worn by
her during the trial at GAINESVILLE.
The trial bids fair to prove a tedious
one, with doubts as to the result, owing
to the less positive nature of the evil
dence, which has weakened in force dur
ing the lapse OF time.
The Central Fair grounds yesterday
afternoon presented a lively scene. Ex-
hibitors were busy in getting their stock,
vegetables, wares ETC., ready for exhibition
and everything seemed to indicate the
largest and best attended fair ever wit
messed here The entries were fully up
to any previous year in all departments.
Particularly is this true Of the horse de-
partment, some of the best flyers in the
state being present. Profs. Stadden and
Gould, the balloon men, are here and
will make their first ascension to-day.
Business men and citizens generally of
Watertown should encourage the enter
prise by their presence on the grounds,
and every effort should be made to swell
the receipts of the society, thus placing
it on a sound financial basis.
The republicans appeared on the
street in procession for the first time last
| evening and made creditable display.
There were seventy-fve torches in line,
| which did not include the officers and
members of the staff who carried Ian
terms. Altogether the turnout number
ed between eighty-fve and ninety. The
democrats, and the whole town in fact,
were out en- masse, to see the stalwarts,
expecting we presume to witness fail
ure. Our democratic brethren were out
last Friday evening with 124 torches If
they do not recruit their forces the re-
publicans will outnumber them between
this and November The grand results
achieved and the general success attend
ing the parade last evening is largely due
to the diligence, ability and exertions of
Capt. G. r. Wurtz, for whom three rous
ing cheers were given at the close of the
PROCESSION
