The Coming Fair.

We call attention to the advertise
ment Of the Belmont County Agricultu-
raj Society, which appears in this issue
of the CHRONICLE. The prospects for
the approaching exhibition is very fat
tering The officers of the Society are
determined to surpass any previous dis
play upon the grounds. Unusual efforts
are being put forth to encourage an ex-
hibit of farm and garden products; to
this end number of citizens have offer
ed special purse in addition to the
handsome premiums offered by the So
ciety. A feature of the Fair will be a
Butter chow for special premium of
eight dollars, the exhibit to be made on
the second day of the Fair in Floral
Hall-Belmont county enjoys d celebri-
ty abroad for her "gilt edge" butter, and
we have no doubt this premium for the
best roll or print of butter will be eager
ly and largely competed for.
The agent of Jefferson Grange has in-
formed the officers of the Society of their
intention to exhibit large collection Of
Grange products, which will doubtless
be very interesting o the farming COM
munity, especially the immense crop-of
apples and pears under which our Or
chards are groaning irsures pomo-
logical display superior if possible to
that of former years.
We hope the reputation the Fair has
obtained for fruit displays will stimu-
late I'll our fruit growers to greater eff
forts.
A number of fast nags are already
training upon the grounds and as
surances have been received that others
are coming.

. ELISHA BROWN, farmer residing on
Trough Run, IL miles southwest of
Bellaire, made determined attempt to
commit suicide ON Monday evening.
The means employed to accomplish his
purpose was unusual and repulsive in
the extreme. He took from the cup
board an old butcher knife, the point of
which was broken off, and went into an
outbuilding and began the work of self
destruction. He first attempted to drive
it into his breast but could not accomp-
lish this, when he succeeded in plunging
it into his abdomen, cutting cash about
eight inches long, so that his intestines
prOtruded from the opening. The man
is about IS years of age, and it is thought
that he is mentally unsound. DIR. Wood.
bridge, of Bellaire, was summoned and
done all in his power to relieve him, but
at last accounts his recovery was con
sidered doubtful.

Sabbath School Festival.

A Festival will be held ON tomorrow
friday evening. at Chambers School
Honse, for the benefit of the Sabbath
School at that place. In addition to
plenty of good things to eat, there is to
be some sport introduced, and the young
men are expected to be gallant according
to the strictest business principles. The
ladies are to be weighed upon their al
rival, and the name, together with the
weight of each, are to be placed on slips
of paper, and put in box promiscuous-
ly. Each young gentleman is required
to draw one of these slips, and the par
ty whose name is thereon will be his
partner for supper, which will cost him
Il cent pound on the weight of the la
dy. We advise that a number of the
heavyweight" ladies of the neighbor-
hood put in an appearance, and so insure
a fair price for square meal.

Board of EaualizatiOn.

The Decenmal County Board of
Equalization will meet at the Office of
TIN. County Auditor on the second Mon
day (9th) of August. The Board will
consist of the County Commissioners,
Surveyor and Auditor. As it is impor-
tant that the burdens of taxation be
equally borne, this meeting is of great
importance to citizens of the several
townships. Considerable time will
necessarily be required to take up each
township and town and compare valua-
tions,to arrive at a fair and just relative
valuation of the lands of the county.
Even then, much difficulty will be ex-
perienced by the Board from a lack of
minute knowledge, especially regarding
the value of town lots, and they will
have to rely chiefly upon the report of
the district assessor. 1t is suggested
that each township choose delegation
of intelligent and fair-minded citizens to
meet and confer with this Board upon
a given day. in order that an equitable
adjustment may be arrived at.

A sMAsH-UP of considerable pr

A sMAsH-UP of considerable proper
tions occurred on the B. & o. road at
Belmont on last Friday morning. The
conductor of freight train No. Is, extra,
while dropping off some cars on the
switch at that point, left part of his
train-Son the main track, the rear of
which reached into the deep cut just
west of the station and failed to send
back fagman according to orders-al-
though apprised of the fact that wild
freight was following his train. Before
long the wild" train loaded with wheat
and merchandise, rounded the sharp
curve just west of the cut running down
grade at maximum speed and struck the
forward train, completely demolishing
the engine and seven or eight of the
cars, piling them in a confused and
crushed heap thirty feet high, complete
ly blocking up the cut. The engineer,
Mr.. Table, of the wild train, seeing
the hopelessness of the situation re-
versed his engine and jumped from his
machine before the collision occurred,
and in the leap struck sharp rock at
the side of the cut, fracturing his cheek
bone and making an ugly cash in his
cheek. DR.. q. Schooley administered re-
lief to the injured man, and he was sent
to his home at Newark on the passenger
crouched down in the tender and was
covered up by coal which was pushed
over him, escaping almost uninjured
The wreck necessitated the transfer OF
passengers at this point during the day
and night following, the first trains pass
ing through on Saturday morning.

appeared to look upon the throng in and
about town insufficient inducement to
open up. However, at night they oiled
up their machinery. and gave a credita-
ble. entertainment of its kind. The hog,
the gander, the trapeze performers, the
gymnasts, the minstrelS, and Richards
himself, each carried its share of enjoy
ment to the rather sparsely populated
lumber regions. The after-piece, "of you
blease," was an eggs-ample of what a
man can accomplish after fifty years
practice. The boys say tEey shall never
forget nor 60 back on the old man.
