County Fair.

At the meeting of the Brown County
Agricultural Society last Sunday it was
decided to hold the county fair on Sat-
urday and Sunday, September 18th and
10. The society has been rather. tardy
in coming to the decisive point and on
lyIabout tenIdays intervene to the time
agreed upon for holding the fair.
There is yet ample time, however,
for everyone in the county to prepare
something for exhibit, and if all con-
tribute something the fair will be an
attractive one. Every good sam
pie of grain, vegetables, fruits.
flowers, cattle, horses, sheep, hogs,
poultry, farm machinery, or any
manufactured articles and works
of art, especially if made in this vi.
entity, will be of interest and profit.
It is not necessary that the articles,
exhibited be strictly agriculture as
some suppose. Unique and curious
articles, ancient and modern, will be
examined with interest if placed on
exhibition. It is also desirable that
the merchants will add attractiveness
to the fair by making a liberal exhib-
it Of their wares. A nice show case
filed with fancy goods and notions
always attracts attention, besides it is
a good advertising medium. Let us
all assist the society to make the
fair success.

THE BIBLE.

When evening shades succeed the sun,
And all my daily work is done,
Shall I those golden hours amuse
In foolish jests or trifling news!
No! nobler things demand my care:
I cannot live on empty air;
One book my leisure shall employ,
My richest fund my purest joy.
Ask you what merit can it claim
Above the books of wit and fame?
It tells me air need to know,
10 make me wise and blest below:
1t shows the road to heaven above,
Where holy angels dwell in love-
It marks the path the martyrs trod;
Its theme is Heaven; it's author, God.
This book the wond 'rous history shows
How wide the world from nothing rose;
How from confusion's tenf0ld night,
Sun, moon, and stars burst forth to
light.
Here I survey with deepest awe.
Heavens holy good and righteous law:
Compared with this, myself sec
Covered with guilt and misery.
Then trembling on distinctions brink,
My soul in dark despair would sink.
But this blest book my peace secures,
And when it wounds in mercy cures;
Far above men or Angels thought,
see my great salvation wrought;
For Gods own son from heavens came
down
To purchase my immortal crown.
Then let my eyes with sorrow flow,
My heart with thankful wonder glow;
With mingled joy and grief I see
How Jesus lived and died for me.
For sinners doomed to death and pain
My Saviour died-and rose again.
Say ye, who scorn at things divine
And laugh at this great book of mine,
Can all your books produce, like mine,
Such glorious deeds such love divine!
Into this treasure would you look.
The Bible is my precious book.
Which, early in this happy land,
learned to read and understand.
Say have you lived on Christian ground
And never yet this treasure found?
Or does it on your shelf appear,
Scarce touch'd or opened through the
year!
Soon the Archangel's trumpet shall
blow,
The earth shall melt, the skies shall
glow;
Then shall those leaves with piercing
light,
Open to men and Angels sight.
Who would not then both search and
prize y
This took in which salvation lies.
Blest book, with thee, my guide and
friend,
Ny days begin and swiftly end;
In life my hope. in death my stay.
NY triumph il the Judgment nay.

An individual who gives his name rs
W. G. Duncan was apprehended eight
or ten miles above New Ulm on the
Fort Ridgely road by deputy sheriff Ed.
Casey, last Friday, on suspicion of be.
ing one Of the persons who made off
with Geo. Guth's horses short time
since. .The man passed Mr.. Guth's
house last Thursday evening and the
suspicious of Mr.. Guth and son were
aroused on Friday morning by noticing
the same peculiar mule tracks in the
road as they did on the morning after
the theft. They at once came to this
city and informed the proper authori.
ties of their suspicious, and Mr.. Casey
started in pursuit with the above re-
suit. It was supposed that the man
was driving mule and horse but when
he was overhauled by Mr.. Casey it was
ascertained that this supposition was a
mistake, as he was driving two horses,
one wearing mules shoes. Mr.. Casey
brought the individual to this city and
lodged him in Jail and then departed in
company of Mr.. Guth 8 son to follow up
a clew in search of evidence. Mr.. Guth
recognizes the man in Jail as the same
party who took dinner at his house 4
week or ten days before the theft, at
which time he examined the horses and
stable very infinitely: and Mir. Guth is
confident that they've got one of the
men that stole his horses, and that he
knows more about their present where
abouts than he is willing to tell. He
will have his preliminary examination
next Monday.

without rain. Last week was a de-
lightful one.
Harvesting is about done, with the
exception of some stacking and a few
pieces of late grain.
Most of the grain has been put up
loose, that is, without binding. The
lodged and tangled condition of the
straw made binding an impossibility
IN many cases.
The fine weather has been of meal
culable benefit to farmers on account
OF the condition of the grain. With a
continuation of the previous wet
weather serious damage would have re-
suited. Oats, the main crop, will be
