| IN q most credltaDle manner. The
character of " Pepper" (colored), was
remarkably well takenby Ed. Harmon,
who possesses an ability for such relies
rarely found in an amateur. Misses
Lamey and Med ermott sustained them
selves admirably, as did Messrs, Dun
ming, LOOMS, Jackson and Burns.
The character representations were
unusually fine, and the performance
as whole was very creditable and
entertaining.
About eleven O'Clock on Wednesday
morning young girl, about II years
old, the daughter Of Calvin Fuller, of
Somers, attempted suicide at the
American House in this city. She
procured some ether, and saturating a
cloth with the liquid placed 1T over her
mouth and nose and succeeded in in
haling sufficient to render her quite
insensible, and had she not been dis
covered in time would have accom-
plished her object. She had prepared
a note to her mother which she placed
in her pocket addressed to her mother,
but which she destroyed when she was
brought to her senses. The pieces
could not be sufficiently attached to
render the whole ineligible. Mrs.
Fuller left her husband short time
ago, and she and her daughter were
working at the American House. No
cause is as yet known for the reckless
proceeding of the misguided girl.
On Wednesday evening last very
interesting occasion took place at the
residence of Mr.. n. r. Allen. A ven
cradle couple, each of whom had reach
ed the age of three score and ten, were
joined in marriage by Rev. Allan Curr,
of the Baptist church. The groom was
Julius Hulbut, of Brodhead, Wis, and
his happy bride Mrs. Anna Wilkins, of
Kenosha, and one of Kenosha's first set
tiers. This marriage is but the con-
summation of an old romance, the
bringing to life the embers Of an old
love which has slumbered in the hearts
of both for many years, only waiting
for fitting opportunity to enable it to |
burst forth. In their youth this same
couple had gazed into each others eyes
as only lovers can. She acted as brides
maid at his wedding many years ago.
His first wife died, and Mr.. Hulbut
having prospered in this worlds affairs,
now comes to claim his old love, whose
former husband had also died, and to
pass through the ceremony which will
in the future enable them to live on to-
gether,

Of the County Fair we are unable
to say much in addition to what we
gave in our last weeks issue. The
weather during the entire fair was un-
exceptionable, but the attendance was
not as large as had been expected
though the exhibition was much bet
ter than in former years. The display
of stock was good, and the farm ma
chinery was more than ordinary. The
field and garden products were we'll
represented by good variety. The ex-
hibitions of art were exceedingly good,
and in the ladies' department both the
domestic and fancy articles were nu-
merous, and made a very fine show.
We understand the financial showing
will be much better than in former
years. The eloquent speech of David
Ward Wood, of Chicago, on Thursday,
was regarded as one of the best fea-
lures of the fair. The trotting on
and Friday was very good,
the famous horse "Barkis" being the
chief attraction. He had an easy time
Of course, as there was really nothing
that could compete with him if he had
been put to his mettle. Among the
green horses, Daisy won 1st premium,
Low I'd and Fox 3rd. In the $50
race Abdallah got 1st prem, HANDLE
tonian Prince I'd and Willie d third.
In the 9 minute race Hambletonian
Prince got 1st prem, Dutch Maid I'd,
Ozark Sd, Pat 4th, Brown Dick 9Th.
In the free-for-all race Barkis won 1st
prem, David H I'd, Abdallah Sd. The
jockeying was principally by the poll
ticians on the grounds, of which there
was a large number. The fair as
whole was a success, for which much
credit is due the several officers of the
society for their labor and exertions to
make it so.
